eagerly soueh, towards the end of the day before Christmas, and if he does not get at least as much as $50 for a load of mistletoe then he is not much of q merchant
 Mistletoe is q product of nature and by no amount of work can man increase or diminish it's appearance. Carried by unseen force to the branches of trees it suddenly springs forth at a place where it's presence Was hot even suspected All that the man who wants it can do is to make his tour of the forest and gather it as he finds it.
 Cedars take care Of themselves. the farmer has nothing to do but let them grow from the seed that has fallen. Holly also comes up of its own accord although it has been cultivated with some success by hor- ticulturists. But in the depths of the forests it comes up the best and it is there the man who seeks to profit by it finds it.

 Fruits of His Labor.
 The next morning the country man starts off long before day for tne city. It may be showing, sleet- ing or raining. He may have a stiff northern wind to face that sends chill to the marrow Of hia oones, but So he must. or the hard work of the previous day will go Tor nauSht. He reaches town carly and proceeds at once on his house to house canvass.
 Probably by noon the farmer has soId out his stock. And if he has sort of luck he has from $15 to $2O Tn his pocket-pretty good pay for two days work. Tn fact, so well does he appreciate the ren1unera- ton that he goes back home. rests up day or two and then returns to town with another load And from the extra money thus obtained he is ready to interview old Santa Claus on his own account. and see to it that the children at home are not forgot,e..
 The ancient mistletoe, the pa:a- site which has been celebrated in song and story, is the mos. elusive as Weal as the most valuable of the three necessaries for Christmas day.

 In this country the mistletoe is found upon trees of various kinds. but in the south it grows mostly on the gum These limbs are always more or less aged and there is much risk to be run in securing the prize. But this does not deter the hardy farmer from the effort. He uses ladder and works out on limbs, and if it looks too shaky for his own weight, calls into requis!- ton the services of a small boy.
 It is seldom that much of it can he obtained from one tree Ere quently 1t grows So high up that it is a phsical impossibilitv to obta;a t at all. and so the trees climbed in the course of day would as tonlsh a laymen. But at last the load IS completed and back to 1Ils city drives the farmer.

ATTENDANCE AZ THE RACES.

THE attendance at the horse races held at
4 the Horse Show Park was not so large as
was expected by the promoters of these trials Of
speed 1t should have been twice as great in
order to make it worth while to hold the meet
ing.
Compared with the matinee races, the falling
off in attendance has been noticeable There
may be some who attend matinee races and yet
from conscientious scruplcs do not patronize
races where purses are offered but we scarcely
believe there is enough of that sentiment to ac-
count for the decrease in the attendance. The
matinee races were, of course, free, the expense
being borne by the horse lovers Of this section.
Perhaps the fact that the purse meets charge an
admission fee is chiefly responsible for the
smaller number of spectators at the trials this
week. If this is true, it is poor encouragement
given the Horse Show Association people Those
who enjoy free matinee races during the entire
summer season should be willing to contribute
something for several days sport. and thus mani
fest their appreciation of the efforts of the horse
men to provide for their enjoyment and enter

SELL YOUR TINfOIL
It Is Now Marketable and Brings a
Good Price.


Good Price.
Save and sell your tinfoil. The re-
cent rise in the price of tin has led to
a curious development in this and
other countries.
Several of the best known choco-
late manufacturers on the continent
have issued the following notice: DO
not throw away the tinfoi in which
the chocolate is enveloped. 1t Is COM
posed of pure metal. metal which is
dear Keep il and before long it will
be called for by our agents, who will
pay for IL at It's market value. The
chocolate industry in Europe spends
nearly $4.0OO.000 per annum IN tinfoil
and these $4.O0O.000 are generally
thrown 10 the winds"
Il is further explained that the pres
ent high price of tin is due to the ac-
tion of English and Dutch specula-
tors who have forced II far beyond its
actual value.
What seems, 10 give some color to
the alleged preciousness Of the paper
wrapped around the chocolate is The
story told by socialist journal of
Hamburg TO the effect that group
OF workmen were able 10 procure a
part OF their common library by col
lecting and selling these fugitive
sheets Of tinfoil.

BIG TOMATO CROP
Warm Weather Makes An Outlook For
LARGE Yield Of the Vegetable.

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, July 26.-The clear and
warm days are developing a great to-
mato crop on the peninsula. 1t is just
the weather needed for tomatoes and
corn, which were greatly delayed by the
backward and cold spring and early
summer. All reports received thus far
show that the acreage is wonderfully
increased. the average increase Of area
sown in tomatoes in Delaware and
Maryland being from 10 to 25 per cen-
tum over last year Probably the great
est increase is in the Maryland coun-
ties. The season will be a full two
weeks late. but the packers and grow
ers are hoping that frosts will not
strike the peninsula before the middle
of October, thus prolnging and ex-
tending the season for an equivalent
two weeks on the latter end Tomatoes
naturally continue TO bear and ripen
until frost sights the vines.
