Items Of Interest From The Grange.

The interest in farming among the
better class of farmers who compose
the present grange organization of Del
aware, appears to be more active than
for many years past. Their discussions
are of more interest to the public, and
they are taking a more broad view in
all matters, while working for the best
interest of agriculture.
At recent meetings the membership
has been increased by new and active
young people. Milford Grange took in
E. Frank Burriss, w. H. Bailey and
George w. Harrington last week.
Mr.. Barker has made visit to most
points in Kent and Sussex counties
and reports that the same condition of
affairs exist in almost every place
The matter discussed at the meeting
last Saturday was, Computing the
Value Of Fertilizers from the Analysis, "
and many new facts were brought out
in the talk which are Of benefit.
petroleum with Lemoid" was con
sideTed as a spraying solution, and it
was shown that il is the best and most
practical insecticide; more easily pre-
pared and applied than the lime, sui
phur and salt mixture.
Mr.. Charles Barker will use this spring /
kerosene emulsion, made from kerosene
and soap, without limoid. He cOnsid
ers this better than the lime, sulphur
and salt mixture.
Mr.. Whitehead, who has recently re
turned from Florida, gave an interest
ing talk on that State, where the early
truck industry appears to be growing
into mammoth proportions, especially
near the coast. He said in part that
the soil is very thin and naturally poor,
and the transportation methods are ex
pensive, except where water transpOr
tation is available. These are the main
drawbacks, but this has had no deter
ing effect on the cultivation of fruits
and vegetables. The East Coast Rail-
road is building an extension to its
lines, which will reach Key West. and
in $50 miles, the road will be over salt
water ranging from five to fifty feet
ieep, and it will be completed in two
years. All laige vessels entering the
Iulf of Mexico must pass in sight of
Key West, where the Government is
lOw building naval station. The town

Reasons For Its Good Results In

The advantages of the open air treat
ment for consumptives may be thus

refreshed Free exposure to air is the

ly ceases. Colds are practically un-
known among patients leading an open
air life. Secondary infection. on ac-
count Of the comparative freedom Of
the air from micro organisms, is much
less likely to occur. Tolerance Of out
side air is very quickly established, and
no one who has tried the open air life
will willingly 60 back to the former
conditions Of stuff1ness. I have never
seen any one made worse by exposure
to fresh air. Even during thick Lon

shut out the fog by keeping the win

RELIGIOUS TATTOOING.
A Custom That Is In Vogue In One
Part of Italy.


Part of Italy.
In the "vanity" section of museum
at Florence there is an interesting col
lection of blocks used for what is call
ed religious tattooing' among Italian
peasants Of the district inclosed be-
tween the Abruzzi Umbria and the
Adriatic.
Peasants in these parts at work with
shirt sleeves rolled up display a Chris
tian symbol of some sort or a text tat
tOoed in blue ink on their brown skin.
This has been imprinted on the occa-
sion of some special festival.
A wooden block is pressed upon the
tightly drawn skin to mark the out
lines of the design. This is then pune
tured. and blue ink is rubbed into
the wounds, which usually heal In
about twenty-four hours. The custom,
which is essentially Christian, is in
commemoration of the branding of St
Francis, who founded monastery
close to Loretto.--London Telegraph.

Not Kn0rn Whether Rejection of

Constantinople, Nov. 23.-The Sultan to-day
issued trade approving the decision of the
Council of Ministers to reject the demands of
finances of Macedonia. Whether the rejection
is absolute conditional has not yet been
definitely ascertained.
Vice-Admral Husni Pacha has started a
special steamer for the Dardanees presumably
with instructions for the commander of the
forts regarding the latters conduct in the
event of the appearance of the International
fleet. Similar instructions have been sent TO
the governors of the Turkish islands in the
archipelago
Paris. Nov. 23.-Turkey's note in reply to the
that the action of the powers in resorting to
naval demonstration may precipitate an internal
uprising of Mussulmans against the Christian
population of Turkey. This is considered to be
threat, as 1t is known that no demonstration of
Mussulmans against Christians can occur unless
1t has the silent acquiescence of the Turkish
authorities.
The answer Of the Porte whole is entirely
unsatisfactory. as it does not respond to the
demand for the extension of the authority OF
the financial agents Of the powers for TWO
years. and is evasive upon the question of gen
eral control by the powers of the financial al
