Hi. roe Thourhtful WIG.

Several physicians were relating how
carefully their wives looked after their
interests and how diplomatic they were
n saving them from doing unneces-
sary night work. One doctor gave an
instance demonstrating how the best
laid plans Of men and mice oft mis-
carry.
When got home this morning at 8
o'clock, dead tired from attending to
a trying case" he remarked. st almost
dreaded to look at the hall table. upon
which my wife always leaves a note
when there is an urgent call. was
naturally delighted to find that I did
not have another call to make and at
once hurried to my bedroom and, with
out lighting the gas. undressed in the
dark and tumbled into bed.
Ny head touched something on the
pillow. lighted the gas to investi-
gate and found that my thoughtful
wife had pinned there a note, 50 that
| should not fail TO see II, informing
me that was wanted at once without
tan to call on distant patient as soon
az arrived home. no matter AZ what
hour. New York Press.

WASHINGTON. Nov. els Uncle

The federal government through

tracts with many Of the railroads Of
the country for the hauling of troops
and 1t is said that in many instances
the railroads are making lower rates
for this service than they do to thea
tIical companies, circnses and othe
I Enterprises. The question as to
whether or not this constitutes a dis.
elimination dnder the Law passed at
the last session Of Congress has al.

cral informal conferences among its
members. An early ruling rs. expect

There is nothing in the new rail-
road law prohibiting the catAoal max

The slyest and slickest

File larrups the ChiItons
With many thump,
And Dent, why he pushes him
Clean Off Of the stump.
He roars at the Democrats;
mix cum.arous!'
And every last Dem.

He lays down the mark
And he says: How you toe it,"
They do it because
They have to, and know IT,
Then hoop and hurrah,
For Johnny McGraw;
He cuts out the work,
And he lays down the law.
Now don't you" says he,
'If you have any gump,
Say a word about tax
When you go on the stump
Because if you do,
They will wax us and fax us.
Now, mind what ! say.
Not word about taxes"

And look wise and keep mum,

why They VICAR Hnts.

History does not tell. so far as we
know. how it came about that members
of the English parliament wear their
hats. The custom has descended from
an age Wien its proceedings were not
recorded. Int ore may suspect that
thereby hangs a tale of sturdy and vic
torious revolt against privilege such
as broie oUt at Versailles. could it be
recovered. Now and again we find an
tiqCe illusions to the practice When
the Commons vO'ed that every one
should uncover or stir or move his
hat" when tire speaker expressed the
thanks Of the house for any service
done by a member Lord Falkland

Mount Pleasant Boy Accidentally Killed.

Glenn Hoke, the IA year-old son of
Mr.. Martin H. Hoke, living near Mount
Pleasant, was accidentally killed on
his fathers farm. The boy left home
to go shooting birds at fish pond
In the afternoon his body was found
on the bank of the pond, terribly
burned and with a wound in the breast.
1t is supposed that while standing on
board watching fish hawks the gun
was accidentally discharged, the
charge entering his body and setting
fire to his clothing. A number of
loaded shells in his pocket were also
discharged, the shot from these also
going into his breast, making ter
rible wound. The corpse was found
by his sister, who had gone to look for

BRlD0EvILLE A GREAT BERRY MARKET.
Over Three Million Quarts of Strawberries
Shipped from That Station in 1905.

On the 25th of May, 1905, sixty-two
carloads of strawberries were shipped
from Bridgeville, Delaware. This
greatly exceeded in quantity that ship
ped from any station in the United
States in one day during that or any
preceding year. The total shipment
for 1905 was 3, 43O, 4OS quarts.
To move the crop of last year nearly
800 cars were required and many hun
dred crates were sent by express.
These figures prove conclusively that
Bridgeville is, under favorable crop
conditions, the greatest straw berry
market of the country, fnot the world.
Owing to the late frosts, the crop of
1906 will not be as large as that of last
year, but it is of sufficient magnitude
to make Bridgeville the Mecca for
the berry buyers of the cities of the
east. The first shipments for the pres
ent year were made on the 18th of this
month, but the season proper opened
May 91, when the city and local bu gers
were out in force with ready cash and
about 200 crates were shipped. Prices
ranged from eight to twelve cents per
quart and indications are that the
shortage of the crop will be offset by
the advance prices which will doubt
less prevail.

How the Earthquake Indicator Re-
cords the Shocks.
In it's simplest form an earthquake.
indicator might be a tray with nOtched
edges so filed with mercury that a
shaking of the earth would cause an
overflow in the direction of the move
ment. In the instrument used by sci
ence the pendulum is employed, verti-
cal by some italians, horizontal by the
japanese. English. most European and
American observers. A movement of
the earth affects everything but the
pendulum, which is so freely hung as
TO remain stationary, and Il recording
device makes the result visible OF old
with the vertical pendulum a sharp
point drew the profile of the move
ments on a blackened surface. Photo
graphic paper in moving strips serves
the modern Instruments.
The horizontal pendulum turns on
vertical axis and carries at it's extrem-
ity heavy weight which earth shock
does not reach. In the Milne seismo-

PINEAPPLES.
The Juice of This Fruit Is n Great
Aid to Digestion.

AAO "
The word engine does not appear to
have any connection with pineapple,
vet it is tie name of the chemical that
gives to the luscious fruit the remark
ably digestible property which it pos
sesses. The prevailing notion that pine
apple juice is excellent for the diges-
tion is supported by medical testimony.
Eat a slice of the fruit after dinner,
say the doctors, and you will not suffer
from dyspepsia.
If you want to see what pineapple
ran accomplish in the way of diges-
ton, you can easily test it on a piece of
raw steak. The action of pineapple
juice on meat is to transform it into
Jelly and then dissolve it when in the
human stomach
Place a slice of the fruit on the raw
meat as it lies on a plate, and the up

fruit touches it will soon become gelat-

salt into the juice, thus producing a
A good sized pineapple contains two
pints of juice. a fact that gives an idea
of what a slice of the fruit will do for
digestion. If cooked, the pineapple
loses its virtue in this respect. 1t may
be asked whether the consumption Of
the somewhat woody fruit itself is ben
eficial or not, for that can scarcely be
easily digestible.
Without doubt it is the juice which
does the good, not the flesh of the pine
apple, but the property of the juice is
so effective that the eating of the fruit
itself can do no harm and may even be
beneficial, inasmuch rs it takes some
of the strength of the juice to dissolve
it and so prevents the stomach suffer-
ing from the too violent effects of the
juice
