Contagion and Infection.

The terms contagion and infection
are too often used promiscuously,
though they are by no means synony-
nous. The dissemination of mycotic
diseases takes place in different ways.
There are those which cannot be COM
municated from person to person, but
spread only by the microbic cause in
vading the individual. To this class be-
long malarial fevers produced by spas
modia. There are, secondly, those
which are not communicable from per-
son to person, but through external car
riers only, such as soil, water, food,
air. clothing and utensils. To that class
belong yellow fever and Asiatic chol-
era. They are infectious. There are,
finally, those which may be transmitted
directly from a person or Indirectly
through carriers. To this class belong
scarlet fever, measles, diphtheria, vari-
ola, influenza, erysipelas and varicella,
perhaps also whooping cough. They
are contagious and infectious.

The Bottle Trick.

Should the hOusekeeper take the trou
BILE to measure the provisions she buys
in bottles she would be astOnished to
see how their contents shrink. Let her
take an ordinary quart bottle of catch
up, for instance, and pour it into a
standard quart measure, and it will Of
ten fall away a third or half pint.
Olive oil will often be found to dwindle
in the same way. Practically all the bot
tiers of foreign oil have adopted what
is called the bordeaux measure, accord
ing to which a so called quart bottle
contains twenty instead Of thirty-twc
ounces, pint twelve instead Of six
teen ounces and half pint" six in
stead of eight ounces. Even these sizes
have been ''pinched," and certain bot
tiers call eighteen ounces a quart, tie:
ounces a pint and five ounces a aah
pint.-New York Tribune.

A Heavy Load to Carry.

Along with dyspepsia comes nervous
ness and general ill-health. Why? Be-
cause disordered stomach does not per-
NIT the food to be properly digested, and
its products assimilated by the system.
The blood is charged with poisons which
come from this disordered digestion, and
in turn the nerves are not fed on good,
red blood, and we see symptoms OF nery-
business, sleeplessness and general break
down. 1t is not head work, nor over ply
steal exertion that does it, but poor stom-
ach work. With poor, thin blood the
body is not protected against the attack
of germs of grip, bronchitis and consump-
ton. Fortify the body at once with DIR.

The enormous popularity of sGolden

scientific compromising and to the actual
medicinal value of its ingredients. The
publication of the names of the illgredi-

Japn1's Pancake Women.

One of the familiar sights on the
streets of a Japanese town is the pan
cake woman, who, with her little bra
zier of Goals and her tiny frying pan, is
usually found on Il corner not far from
a school. She has bowl full of deli
cious batter, ladle and cake turner,
and there is apt to be hungry crowd
around her little stand as soon as
school is out, for not many of the chill
dren are able to resist the smell of the
crisp pancakes. at least if they have
any money. For a small coin worth
only a fraction of one of our pennies
a child may fry and turn his own
cakes, and happy is the one who has a
number of coins in his little kimonc
sleeve and can fry and eat to his
hearts content.

Courting Customs of siam.

In Siam the lighting of a cigar indi-
Gates a betrothal. In that country a
person wishing to become. engaged to
the girl of his choice offers her flower
or takes a light from a cigar or ciga-
rette if she happens to have one in her
mouth, and thereupon, Movided there
is no impeachment, steps are at once TAX
en- to arrange for the payment of the
dowry. The families of the bride and
bridegroom have each to provide con-
siderable sum. In Calabria, as in
many parts of India, a lighted taper or
a lighted pipe betokens the acceptance
Of the sutton for the hand Of a lady in
marriage. In Siberia it is the custom
that when a sutton has been accepted
by girl she presents him with a box
Of cigars and pair of slippers as a
sign that he is to be master in the
house.

SAN JOSE SCALE CAUSES ALARM.
Its Appearance 10 Delaware Has Brought
Destruction to Orchards.


Fruit growers in the lower part of
Kent County and in Sussex are greatly
agitated over the appearance of the
San Jose scale, to which peach trees
are particularly subject. Already nu-
merous orchards have been destroyed,
but in many cases growers have, by
the timely application of mixture of
sulphur, lime and salt, saved their trees
and all over the lower part of the State
can be seen drab colored orchards, the
color the trees take on after being sub
iected to the above treatment. The
San Jose Scale, as it is known, is COM
posed of millions of microscopic in
sects, which cling 10 the infected tree
and suck the rising sap. Birds fire.
quently carry these tiny bugs in their
flight from one tree to another, and
once the tree is infected there is little
hope for it, unless timely action is
taken. The favorite remedy is as al
ready stated, mixture of sulphur,
lime and salt. 1t must be applied to
the tree warm and performs its work
by smothering the insects. AS result
of this existing condition, there will
be a scarcity this year of peaches.
Every grower Is doing his best to pre-
| vent the spread of the scale, and to say
| that every fruit grower is greatly con
II
cerned. is to say the least. On March
90, Prof. A. b. Close, who is connected
with the government experiment sta
ton at Delaware College, Newark
will give demonstration on spraying
trees to prevent the San Jose scale
The demonstration will be made Oh
the farm of A. T. Robinson, near New
ark and many fruit growers are ex
pected to be present.

Last year the Government OF the
United States paid $245,0OO for the
handling and distribution of seeds
which cost 800, 900 or in other words for
every dollar paid for seeds the
Government paid $2.70 for the items of
salaries, travelling expenses, assemb-
ling and mailing. The seeds are bought
in the first place at an extravagant
price and their distribution is made at
a cost which would bankrupt any pri-
vate firm of seed merchants who en-
ployedthe same methods. 1t is to be
hoped that the seeds of reform in this

produce good crop notwithstanding

The people Of a northern city
have once again demonstrated the
kind of love they have for the ne
gro. At Springfield, O.. drunken
negro shot brakeman and the un-
ruly elements Of that city turned
themselves loose to wreak vengence
on the entire negro population, go
ing tn the negro quarter Of the city
aId burning and stoning their
houses. The police were powerless
to cope with them, and it was found
necessary tc call out the state troops
to give the negroes that protection
to which they were entitled, and
even then the troops could not pre-
vent some outrages being commit
ted. The News does not refer to
these scenes that have taken place
in this Ohio city for the purpose OF
playing the role of a captious critic.
1t has no desire to rub it in on the
Ohio city, but merely to suggest
that as the Astounding love- Of the
northern people for the negro has
been demonstrated for n good many
years in the Springfield manner,
that it is about time thc p-ople IF
that section were having heart to

correspondence on Wednesday it
was stated that Repr, sentative Kei-
fer, who halls from this same town

the house a bill to cut uDwn south
ern representation because we were
not treating the negro right in not
allowing him to rule our states.
What right has Keifer to criticise
the South for her acts when in his
own city a mob goes out to murder
innocent negroes just because one of
their race in a drunken condition
shot white man? We do not do
this way down South. In this Sec
ton there are some lynchings, which
are deplored by the better element
among the population, but the
wrath OF the mob generally stops
when the victim has been summa-
rily dealt with. Yet this old whiten-
ed sepulchre will shed crocodile

dition Of the negro in the South and

Ruling Of The Auditor.

In reply to query relative to the
damage section Of the privilege tax
law. Auditor T. NJ. Henry yester-
day made the following ruling:
Replying to your favor OF the
9Th instant. in which you enclose
sundry privilege licenses. which are
herewith returned. beg to advise
that under the law it is made the
duty of the tax collector to collect
double the amount due on all IL
censes not paid during the month
in which the same are due. The
amount due is the sum OF money
due from the expiration OF old IL
cense to the FIRST day Of the follow
ing May, and not, a. you seem to
think. only double for the month
in actual default. To collect in
that manner the tax collector would
be unable to issue you license. a.
the coupon must always be attach
ed to the license.
For instance, II you are due q
privilege tax license OF IS in May
and did not prcure the same till
June you would be liable for 80.
The amount due in May was IS and
il you failed to procure it during
that month you would be liable fol
