THE Every Evening told its read
ers last Monday that the political
situation in Delaware at present IS
very much against the Democratic
party. In view Of the bitter war
raging in their own ranks, there IS
a grand oppoi sunity for Delaware
Republicans to make clean sweep.
The Every Evening puts the case
as follows:
All speculations as to how Della
ware will vote at the election IN
November will be mere guesses until
after Saturday, October 2oth. That
will be the final day of registration,
and the party which may be ahead
in the lists Unregistered voters when
the registration ends on that even
ing will be the victorious party at
the election. For none can vote at
the election save those who are duly
registered.
Naturally, the efforts Of both po-
litica1 organizations will be directed
towards getting the most voters
placed on the lists during the final
day of registration. At present it
is claimed, and the claim may be
correct, that on the registration tc
date the Republicans are largely
ahead in Kent and Sussex counties
and slightly ahead in New Castle.
But this condition may be reversed
by the work of the final day Of reg
istration.
1t is probable that nearly half o
the men of voting age in the State
are still unregistered. The field o
labor, therefore, is an ample one fol
both parties, for upon their work
during this last day will depend the
result in November. The party tina
loses more heavily in the number o
its unregistered followers will b'
the party that will lose the election

For many years Lord Gardenstone

In kilt behind. A detailed account
of the picture states that Kay por-

very timid ,horseman, mounted on an
old hack, which he had selected for it's
want of spirit, preceded by his favorite
dog Smash and followed by highland
boy, whose duty it was to take charge
Of the horse on arriving at parliament
house. His eccentricity took the even
stranger form Of strong affection for
pigs. He became so much attached to
one that he allowed it to share his bed,
and when good feeding and rapid
growth made it rather cumbersome

ceremony was performed by Rev.
P. Peterson of the Evangelical
Lutheran church of st. Paul at

quiet but pretty affair. Mr.. and
Mrs. Lunn are staying at the
Markham for the present, but
expect to move into their own
home, as soon as the residence is
completed on @ site near the

been bearing up bravely under

who have feigned the utmost
surprise at his marriage. They
declare that he has always looked
like married man and that they
never suspected him of being
anything else.

MODERN FRONT
REPLACES OLD,
Pioneer Adds to Appearance Of
Office by Putting in Plate
Glass Windows.

The Pioneer has been making
extensive improvements in it's
front office the last few days,
which add much to appearances.
The old front, old style and en-.
tirely unsatisfactory for a news.
paper Office, has been torn out
and replaced with a modern
plate glass front. The double
doors have also given place to one
large door. Ia
This means a great deal to the
building in the way of looks, and
adds materially to the tone Of
the Office inside. It also gives
more light and more room.
The front Office will now be
used principally for the large and
complete line of blank books and
stationery which the Pionee,
carries. A large shipment Of
new goods, received within the
last few days, is now being un
packed and placed on the shelves

The Meaning of SsBridge."

The story goes that years ago. long
before bridge was known in London
clubs, two families who played the
game under the name of Russian
whist were living in neighboring
houses at or near Great Daily in
Leicestershire. The only road of COM
munication lay over somewhat dam
gerous bridge. 1t was a frequent oc-
currence for the departing guests to
say to their hosts: THANK goodness, it
is your bridge tomorrow" meaning
that the other party would have to
cross the dangerous bridge the next
night; hence is said to have arisen
the title of bridge We give this story
for what it is worth, but in our own
mind we have little doubt that the
modern name of bridge" is merely
very easy corruption Of the old title
Of ''biritch." The two words "biritch''
and bridge have absolutely the same
sound when spoken quickly, SO that it
is easy to imagine how the change
came to pass,-London Saturday Re

Eating Ants For Dessert.

Sayages, we know, indulge in sucl,
!uXuries as grubs and locusts, but for a
civilized, white man to finish up his
dinner with dish of raw ants seems
too nasty to be credible. Yet in Mexico
it is the custom-and a custom adopted
by plenty of colonials and visitors. The
ant eaten is called the honey ant and
is perhaps as curious an insect as lives
With a tiny head and legs, it has
huge body as big as large pea, anG
this is yellow and swollen with exec.
lent honey. In each nest there are 300
or 400 of these honey ants, which are
attended by thousands of others. The
honey ants hang on to the roofs of the
cells in the nest while the others feed
them. They are, in fact, living store
houses Of winter food. An observer
says that if one of the honey ants falls
from his perch a worker will 60 and
pick him up and replace him. This
feat is equivalent to man walking up
the face of a cliff carrying large buf.
falo or cart horse on his back.

Very curious are the nests of the sun
ORD, scarcely larger than a butterfly.
1t chooses some exposed spot, probably
close to the public road. and proceeds
10 build on an overhanging twig. The
finishing touches being put to the small
abode, it is left, according to one au-
thority, severely alone until spiders
have woven their webs over and around
it. Another naturalist says that the
birds themselves turn ragmen and, COL
lecting any rubbish they can find in the
way of moss, faded leaves, ends of cot
ton and other such trifles, stick them
on the outside Of the nest by means Of
pieces Of pllrloined webs In either
case the result is the same, and they
make their future home a thoroughly
disreputable object. Then, and not till
then, does the little hen sunbird lay
her two greenish white eggs, which she
matches under the shelter of small
porch which has been constructed over
the nest, shielding her from sun and
rain

Banana Bread.

Bread made from banana -four is
common enough in Europe and Eng
land. One pound is said to contain
more nourishment and energy produc-
Ing material than one pound of the
finest beefsteak, is much more digest
ible and less than one-sixth the price.
Sir Henry Stanley was firm believer
In the banana. He went so far as to
advise that it's consumption would cure
rheumatism, govt and all liver affec-
tons. When lying at the point of
death from gastritis light cruel of
banana flour mixed with milk was the
only food he could retain and digest.
The secret Of the banana as health
and strength producing food lies in it's
high percentage Of proteids and the
great number of it's calories, respective.

Tle Nose.

The nose Is intended for breathing,
the mouth for speaking and eating.
Who has ever seen horse breathing
otherwise than through his nostrils?
Minute scientific investigation has re-
vealed the fact that the number of peo-
pie who breathe through their nostrils
are becoming gradually but surely few
er in number. The consequence is that
the nostrils decrease in size, while it has
been found that the prevailing nose is
quite an inferior organ to that Of our
forefathers. 1t Is well known phys
biological fact that unused muscles and
bones gradually disappear. Fish who
live in the dark, for instance, or the
mole, who resides underground, be-:
come blind. Thus if we cease to use
our noses for breathing they will cease
to exist. They will become superlu-
ous!-Pearson's Weekly.

Child SuccumbS,

Yves Wright's little year.and-a-
half old boy died last night at the
home of the parents on Beltrami
avenue, from a combination of
whooping cough and measles.
He had been sick for a week.
The little fellow was taken first
with the cough and then was
sliced with the measles, and the
bination proved too much for
his strength, sturdy little lad
though he was. The bereaved
parents have the sympathy of
the comm unity. The child was
christened Stewart Clifford and
he was just one year, six months
and one day old. The funeral
will be held tomorrow afternoon
at 2 o'clock from the house.

Boston,s Name.

Boston owes it's name to a Roman
Catholic saint. Early in the seventh
century Catholic monk named BO-

Lincolnshire, England
As the years went by a town grew
up around the church and was called
Botolphstown. This was shortened for
convenience into Botolphston, then to
Botoston and finally to Boston. John
Cotton came to America from that
town and named the New England
capital after his native village.
