DOVER, Dell May 27.-There were no
prayers for rain in lower Delaware yes
terday. The rain question became serious,
with a pouring, driving rain practically
all OF Sunday morning. and the lowlands
Of Sussex under water, some not plowed
and even the Fairly high land OF Kent
partially inundated.
Strawberries. which have commenced
to rlpen splendidly. In the face OF unto
ward conditions. were flooded out IN
many instances. Berries last but few
days but during that time are a mint
OF profit to the growers. ono Ridgely
man has eighteen acres Of his land in
Strawberries, ripening fast, from which
ne expected to pick 10000 quarts-all this
at a net profit Of 1880. The pickers are
here but the berries will be nodded out
before ripening unless there is a sud-
den dry spell and the sun works with
direct fury to overcome the undoings Of
the storm king.
Tho bright red Strawberries harvested
from the high lands OF this county, were
brought into the markets this morning.

Special to The Evening Journal.


NEWARK, May 27.-The Aetna team
won its third victory on Saturday by tax
ing All-wlmington into camp by a score
OF 8 to l.
It was easy from staut to finish and at
no time after the first inning did the vis-
itors have a look in. Murray was again
IN the box for the locals and pitched his
usual good game but did not seem to ex-
ert himself in the least. Bannar, who
pitched for the visitors was there with
the goods and with proper support should
have kept the score much lower.
On May 90 the strong St Pauls Guild,
Of Chester. will be the attraction here.
Two games will be played and the locals
hope to add two more victories to their
list.

QUEER FAD IN JEWEuRY.
Ornaments Are Made to Initiate Won.
 ems Pet Aversions.

A spirit of daring has infected the modern woman. She still shrinks from caterpillar or an earwig, but her jewelry must be made to initiate them, though they are among her deadliest foes. The most up-to-date brooch is such a clever replica of moth that careful housewife might be excused for peppering her furs and fannels. Lace pins, which used to be set with pearls and diamonds, are now decorated with a fearsome wasp or gigantic daddy long legs.
 Creepy" sets are offered by some West end jewellers. They comprise a spiders web necklet made of fine gold wire in the center of which hungry spider waits for the fly hover ing on the outskirts. A spider brooch and fly bangle complete the set.
 Caterpillar" hatpins are effective in hat trimmed with flowers and foliage, but the spirit of daring has been best exemplified in the "cock- roach safety pin. The cockroach ranks as the 'creepiest" in woman s category of insects, and the jeweled representation is so accurate that even it's owner is calculated to mis- take her latest purchase for the orig inal and scream.

Proper Treatment Adda Greatly to
 Their Durability. 8

A little knowledge as to the care of copper and brass ware, silver and so forth, is necessary in every well-man- aged home, and if servants are taught to properly clean and care for such ar ticles, they will last much longer and look better, of course, than if careless ly treated.
 Perhaps nothing is so durable, orna. mental and satisfactory as copper ware when it is properly cared for. In cleaning copper saucepan or stewpan, it should be washed with hot water and soda, thoroughly rubbed with sand or salt, and then polished on the outside. Stains may readily be removed with cut lemon, after which any brass polish may be ap- piled. It should then be rinsed in warm water and dried near the fire. Copper jelly and pudding molds should always have tin lining.
 Aluminium ware is rapidly coming into favor, and is easily kept clean. It is very light, bright and nonpoison- ous, and may be cleaned as directed by the manufacturers, from whom the polish may be procured.
 Of course, the metal which needs the most care is silver. The silver should first be washed i'll very hot soapsuds and thoroughly dried with a soft cloth. In case the silver is tarn- ished or stained, the polishing powder must be made into paste and left on for an hour before brushing off. The final polishing should be given with a clean bit of chamois, If the chamois is used daily after the wash. ing, with now and then sprinkling of good powder, the wet treatment will seldom be required.

Need a Good Bank,

good bank is a valuable asset for the small town. During these days of prosperity people of almost every community have a surplus amount of money to deposit in the bank. or to invest in way that will bring a fair margin of interest. Lately a svs- tenn mas grown up of doing a banking business by mail. Alleged savings banks and investment companies in large cities advertise widely offering SIX to seven per cent. interest on de posits. Many who have little knowl. edge of financial affairs make denos- its in these banks. The Lincoln bank at Oak Park, H., was one of these in. stitutions that made great offers to the people of agricultural districts in order to secure deposits. More than $1,000.00o were deposited by farmers and others in this concern. Within year it was declared unsound by tho United States authorities, the pro. moter of it placed under arrest and charged with fraud. The poor de. luded depositors are not likely to re. ceiye five per cent. of their deposits, Remember that when you send your money from your local community it ceases to be any factor in developing home resources or in adding to the wealth of the place. It is better al ways to patronize homo banks than banks far away.

SIMPLE AND PRETTY
FASHIONS IN soNNETs FOR THE
 LITTLE ONES.
Elaborate Friils and laces Are nc Longer Used on These Dainty Head coverings-One of the
 Latest Pictures.

More than one mother will welcome the knowledge that the day of the be- frilled, befurbelowed lace hat is over, and that it's place has been taken by the simple and pretty linen and pique bonnets and hats, such as the one pie tured on this page. The fact that they may be often and easily laundered certainly adds to their attractiveness, and they are as dainty as they are practical.
 The bonnet shown Is of pale pink linen, with scalloped edge and big coin dots, hand-embroidered in white
 The crown is stitched, but it may also be scalloped around the edge. It should have buttons and buttonholes so that it can be removed when laun- dered. The ties are of soft white null.
 The dress bonnets for small giriies are unusually charming and quaint Most of them are in poke effects, trim med with tight little ribbons. Others are the cloche or mushroom shape, trimmed with simple scarf and loop,

CARE OF TABLE LINEN.
Here Is Truly Where Stitch ir
 Time" Does Wonders.

Too little attention is paid to the wear and tear on tablecloths and nap kins as rule. They are washed and ironed and put away, regardless of the places that are becoming thin and worn until these spots become holes and it suddenly dawns on the dis mayed housekeeper that her table linen is going all to pieces"
 If tiny holes are found in table linen the first thing to do is to darn them neatly, selecting the numbers of thread or cotton best suited to the material to be darned, using as fine a needle as possible. Ii the material is much worn it is best to lay piece of the same under the thin place and darn down upon it. This gives strength, though it does not look quite as neat as it would without the extra piece of material beneath A ragged tear always must have an extra piece beneath,

NEW IDEA IN SALAD.
Always Popular Dish Put Up in Novel
 Manner,

Thlc salad is arranged on individual plates. Take six small lettuce leaves, and arrange them around the plate; in the center of these leaves put about one tablespoonful of salad dressing; this makes the center of the daisy points, which have been made by cut ting into narrow strips the whites of hard boiled eggs. Take the yolks of the hard-boiled eggs, and by mashing them through strainer and scatter Ing them over the tablespoonful of salad dressing, it will give it rough appearance, and will give the finish ing touch to quite good counterfeit of a real daisy. The dressing for this salad is made by beating together three eggs, adding to this one cupful of milk, two tablespoonfuls of vinegar. half teaspoonful of salt, the same of white pepper, two teaspoonfuls of mus tard, butter the size of an egg. made into a smooth paste by mixing with two teaspoonfuls of water. Boil for about 20 minutes, or until it thickens; when cool arrange on the lettuce leaves.

How to launder Curtains.

Carefully fold each curtain into a small square and keep it folded until ready to pin down on sheet. Spread on carpeted floor. Do not use frames for old curtains. Put to soak in luke warm water, using good soap, and pressing them down under the water with the hands. Change water every ten or 15 minutes or as often as it becomes dirty, being careful not to rub or wiring but squeeze the water out, and when clean rinse in two wat CTS. If the curtains are white put a little bluing into the last water. Then starch and pin down. If you have several pairs to do up, divide your starch into two or more dishes, so the curtains will be equally stiff

Is Pe-ru-na Useful
 for catarrh?

Should a list of the ingredients ofPe' runa be submitted to any medical ex- pert, of whatever school or nationality, he would be obliged to admit without reserve that each one of them was ofun- doubted value in chronic catarrhal dis eases, and had stood the test of many years experience in tho treatment of such diseases. THERE CAN BE NO DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHAT. EVER Peruna is composed ofthe most eficacious and universally used herbal remedies for catarrh. Every ingredient of Peruna has a reputation of it's own ir the cure of some phase of catarrh.
 Peruna brings to the home the COM. BINED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL SCHOOLS OF MEDICINEint the treat. ment of catarrhal diseases; brings to the home the scientific skill and Mowl. edge ofthe modern pharmacist; and Last but notleast brings to the home thevast and varied experience of Dr. Hartman, intke use ofcatarrh remedies, andin the treatment of catarrhal diseases.
 The fact is, chronic catarrh is a dis ease which is very prevalent. Many thousand people know they have chronic catarrh. They have visited doctors over and over again, and been told that their case is ono of chronic catarrh. It may be ofthe nose, throat, lungs, stomach or some other internal organ. There is no doubt as to the na- ture of the disease. The only trouble is the remedy. This doctor has triedto cure them. That doctor has tried to prescribe for them.
 BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO BRING ANY RELIEF.
 Dr. Hartman's idea is that a catarrh remedy can be made on a large scale, as he is making it; that it can be made honestly, of the purest drugs and of the strictest uniformity. His idea is that this remedy can besupplied direct ly to the people, and no more be charged for it than is necessary for tho handling oft.
 No other household remedy 90 uni. versally advertised carries upon tho label the principal active constituents, showing that Peruna invites the full inspection of the critics.

New French Shoe

Fashionable Paris wears new shoe. French shoes are not adven. lures for American feet to rush rash ly into. and these new ones least of all.
 They are very long--three or four sizes longer than the size of the foot perfectly straight, and have a square toe.
 Except that they have heels. they are like nothing so much as the old fashioned straight, long, shapeless shoes ladies in this country wore sey- eral generations ago, before we had learned to make shoes to fit our feet.
 Paris may know all about hats, but it is well known by American travel CTS that neither she nor England knows very much about shoes-at least the kind of shoes American feet demand

HELPS FOR TOWN BUILDERS.

Strangers to a town form their opinions as to it's people by the ap- pearance of the business places and the residences. In town where the buildings are dingy and dirty, and the show windows of the stores are care less1y arranged, it is evidence that there is a lack of enterprise. It pays the business men of town to be care full as to the exterior appearances of their places of business.
 
 Small towns usually contain but few expensive residences. It mat little how ineXpensively built residences are if the buildings are kept well painted and the yards neat and clean. This is evidence of the good taste of the people.
 In many towns in country districts there are hitching posts placed here and there before the stores. It is gen. orally the case that where the hitch ing post is found, unless the street is well paved, there is mud hole Every town that is incorporated should have regulations as to the placing of hitching posts indiscrimin- ately in the streets. There should be set aside some side street that is con- venient to the business portion of the town, where the farmers and others can hitch their teams instead of in front of the stores.
 Good sidewalks give the strangers to town q favorable impression of the place, and also they are an advan- tase in many ways and may prove matter of economy through the pre- yention of accidents that might give cause for damage against the town corporation.
 Nearly every small town has it's public park. It is often noticed that these parks are little cared for. They are public pastures and serve no good purpose as places where the people of the town can meet evenings for social intercourse. People of towns should take pride in keeping the pub lie parks in good condition. They can be made beauty spots with but little a&ort and expense
