 The twenty-four living children are almost evenly divided, fourteen being boys and ten girls. Five of the chill dren are married. and the oldest son is the father of four children.

SHOWING WALL PAPERS,
Conveniences for Exhibiting Under
Artificial Lidht


Silks have long been shown in stores,
when desired, by artificial light, so that
the customer may see how they will
light up, how they will look at night.
Nowadays wall papers are shown in
like manner
There are wall papers that look well
by day but not so well by night, and
then there are wall papers handsome
by day that are much handsomer under
artificial light-papers that light up
well. And 1t is common thing now
for purchasers in selecting wall papers
to look at them by daylight and also
by artificial light.
Purchasers have. indeed, long done
this in way The salesman would
hold up for their inspection a roll of
paper under gaslight. But now in
some wall paper establishments there
are found electric lighted rooms In
which wall papers can be shown as
they would appear at night under arti-
fetal light on the wall.
The rooms for which papers are thus
selected are likely to be not sleeping
rooms, but rooms that are occupied by
night as well as by day for living pur-
poses-rooms in which 1t is important
that the papers should light up well
and be gratifying to the eye-the par
lor, the dining room and the library.

A COSSACK'S CHILDHOOD.
First Steps in the Rearing Of These
Savage Servants of the Gar.

Savage Servants of the Gear.
Powerful light is thrown on Cossack
nature by the revelations made by the
Russian whom Ernest Poole quotes in
his article, Peasant Cattle" in the
Everybouy's.
What fine cook Granny was!" re-
lates the Cossack, in describing his
childhood. "She made bright yellow
cakes, big as this big fur hat. 1t took
long time to bake the cake in the
brick oven; it was so soft and delicate
that even If you stamped on the floor
and Jared the oven the big cake would
fall into lump of dough and be good
only to feed the geese and the pea
cocks. So old Granny used to hobble
up and down in front of the oven wav-
ing off all of us who tried to get close
for smell; and even If one of us lit
tie brats shouted or swore she would
curse us soundly in whisper for maxi
ing jar in the air. If you've ever
heard Cossack swear you will see
that Granny was right, for a Cossack
curse could stop a big locomotive run
ming full speed down mountain! Ha!
Ha! Hal" He learned back and grew
red with laughing.
"Well! well!" And my good, fat
mother-what borsch (soup) she used
to make in the deep earthern bowl!
When she poured it all splattering into
the brown earthern basin, then we
brats used to stand around, each with
his wood spoon. We each dipped out
big chunk of meat; If one of us took
two pieces, how quick old Granny
would beat him in the face with her
spoon! We young dogs were always
hungry"

DOVER To HAVE
WATER SERVICE
River and Harbor Bill Pro-
vision Will Greatly Aid
the Capital
AUTHORIZES IMPORTANT SURVEY

The river and harbor bill. contains
a provision which, II the idea con
tained therein is carried out, will give
the town Of Dover, direct commune
cation, by water. with the sea, which
will make It possible 10 have a regular
boat service between Dover, Whining
ton, Philadelphia and other places on
the Delaware River and Bay The
section Of the River and HarbOr bill
referred to provides for a survey as
follows:
est. Jones and Little Rivers with
a view 10 connecting the same at or
near Dover by canal or by divertihg
one Of the said streams"
1t IS altogether likely that the pas
sage OF the bin will include this pro-
vision, as there is no indication OF a
desire from amy quarter to dislodge IT,,
and IL 1t is passed the government will
make survey contemplated The result
will be reported TO the War Depart
ment. and upon this will depend subse-
uuent action, which may be a subject
for consideration at the next session OF
Congress.
What this project will cost Is profile
lmatlcai. but those who are interested
reasonable outlay of money. Such an
improvement. Il IS pointed out. would
be highly beneficial to the commercial
interests OF Dover and would develop
them to an extent that would be OF
great benefit to the town.
The St. Jones River is regularly ira
versed by boats now as far inland as
/ Lebanon, which Is about FIVE miles
from Dover. and for many years. with
few exceptions. there has been a reg.
ular boat service for freight and pas
sengers. between Lebanon and Phila
delphia, and the patronage. as a rule
is good. II Dover was the regula'
lhxed terminus of the line. II is be
lieved. the business would receive
ldlGided impetus. which would make &
one OF the most important lines run
ming TO and from Delaware towns.
Dover has been Handicapped becaus
of lack Of water facilities. and for year
the commercial men have been con
sidering the problem. but, so far with
tout any definite result. and this seem
to be the only solution. The plan pro
posed. 1t is believed. would answer tn
purpose admirably and make Dover on
OF the principal shipping points i
lower Delaware, especially for fam
produce.
