American Factories Lead the
World.

The extent and the variety of
its natural resources, as. in one
particular field, is revealed by its
mineral riches, is one of the reas-
ons why the United States heads
the list of the worlds nations in
prosperity and progress. In the
ten years which have passed since
the business revival set in at the
close of the Industrial stagnaiion
of 1S93-97, the country's popula-
tion has increased twenty-one per
cent. In those ten years the value
of its annual mineral output has
expanded more than 200 per cent.
Those who take gloomy view
Of the outlook for business in the
United States should try to grasp
| the facts just presented. Here
are a few more facts for them to
ponder on: While the United
States has only five per cent. of
the worlds population, 1t produces
twenty per cent. of worlds wheat,
twenty-five per cent. of its gold,
thirty-three per cent. of its coal.
thirty-6ve per cent. of It's manu-.
factures, thirty-eight per cent. of
its silver, forty per cent. of its
iron, forty-two per cent. of its
steel, ffty-two per cent. of its pc
troleum, fifty-fve per cent, of its
copper, seventy per cent OF its
cotton and eighty per cent of its
corn.
William Stanly Jevons, the Brit
ish economist, said in 1867 that
when England lost her supremacy
in coal and iron production her
fall would be as sure as Rome's
was after Constantine removed
the capital to Constantinopie, and
after his sons divided the empire
into three parts, and the fall would
he swifter than was Rome's. For
ty years ago that seemed to be a
safe forecast, for iron production
in the United States IN 1867 was
less than a twenty-ifth part of
what it is in 1907, coal production
was less than afrrtieth a of what it
is now.
| But the years which have pass
| ell since 1867 have told tale
which nobody in that day dreamed
| of. In the extent of its manufac-
lures the United States passed
England in 1880, and 1t passed
England in iron and steel produc-
tion in 1895, and IN coal output in
1900. And IN every one of these
fields the United States lead is rap.

the United States to-day is Sl20,

suffer and have no apples. The

sHAD AND PEARS

IA philosopher of Sussex county, ac-
| cording to one of our esteemed contem-
poraries, expresses the wish that all the
bones of shad, that most delicious Of
fish, could be tranferred to the Keiffer
pear. This Sussex county sage evidently
believes that time is money in Sussex,
and there is loss OF it when he eats his
shad. He would wish the fish without
the bones and, therefore, he would con-
sign them to some other place, prefer
ably the Keiffer pear. Most folk enjoy
shad. They don't like picking the bones,
but some eat the bones and all, trusting
TO Providence that no serious trouble will
follow.
"But the pertinent question to be asked
is why this Sussex man, and he lives in
Lewes, wants to fill the Keiffer pear with
bones, and thus create a species of fruit OF
which even the wizard Burbank never
dreamed. A boneless shad would be all
oddity, and Keiffer pear full of bones
would be curiosity that would startIe
the experts in fruit culture, the Hon.
Hervey Walker, master of the State
Grange; the Hon. William Dickson, of
Kent county; Colonel Theodore Town
send, and countless other DelaWa are citi-
zens who are interested in the products
of the farm.
"Why should the Keiffer pear be as.
sailed? Does this Sussex county phiIoso-
pher have special grudge against the
Keiffer pear? Does he desire to create a
prejudice against it and compel tile abau-
doning OF this fruit as staple product.
the joy Of the housewife when there is no
other fruit to be obtained?
"New Castle county should rally to the
support of the Keiffer. 1t is popularity
supposed to have had its origin in Black
bird hundred, in this county. The Hon.
James T. SEallcross, of this county, has
been great believer in pears, and We
shall expect him to come forth and halt
this insidious effort of the shad advocates
to throw the unpleasant things of the
fish into the Keifer pear. The Keiffer
pear is a humble fruit. When peaches
are about the Keiffer pear is permitted to
rot on the ground, or is shoyeed up and
dumped into freight car, as if it were
piece of coal. But the Keiffer is sturdy,
and when all other fruit is blasted, the
Keiffer is sure to be around. The Keiffer
pear may not be appreciated in Sussex
county, where they have peaches, straw
berries, sausage, hogs iowl aud turnip
greens. But in other parts Of the country
the Keiffer is not snubbed. Even in aris-
tocratic Boston and way up in bleak and
stony Maine, in the summertime, the
Keiffer is looked upon as ray of sun
shine. II tile Sussex wise man doesn't
believe it, let him 60 there and dig up
five cents apiece for Keiffer pear that
brings ten or fifteen cents the basket in
Delaware "-Erening Journal.

NEW COURT TERMS FOR DELAWARE
Act Passed by the Last Legislature
Makes Number of Changes

By the enactment of the recent Legisla-
ture. the number of sessions of court in
this state will be increased. In Kent
and Sussex Counties the session will be
doubled, while in New Castle there will
be five instead of four terms, and all of
these sessions will be trial terms. Here
tofore there were but four terms during
the year aud but three of them were trial
terms, except by consent. The business
in the different counties has grown so
during the past few years that it was
necessary to increase the terms. Partic-
ularly was this true in the two lower
counties, where there have been hereto
fore but two sessions of court during the
year The following is the act passed by
the Legislature and is seif-explanatory
An act to fix the time for the holding OF
Superior Court and Court of General
Sessions in the several counties OF this
state. Be it enacted by the Senate and

sex County shall be held on the first
Monday in April, the last Monday in
October, and the first Monday in Febru-
airy in Kent County, on the third Mon
day in April, the first Monday in July,

third Monday in February, and in New

Der. the first Monday in January, the

no jury shall be summoned, but matters

in the state shall fall on legal holiday,

USEFUL THINGS TO KNOW

Rubber and leather casters are now
frequently put upon furniture which is to
be placed on hardwood or stained floor.
Some housekeepers and decorators, how
ever, recommend instead the casters.
Where brasses are much discolored an
application OF a solution of salt and vine
gar is advisable before using the custo-
mary brass polish, as the work of polish
ing is much more quickly performed.
Handsome glass vases may be kept free
from the accumulation of dust at the bot
tom by inserting wsd of tissue paper
the color of the vase, when it is not in
use. By taking this means Of keeping
them clean the brilliancy of the glass is
retained.
Glasses which have held milk should
never be washed in warm water while the
dregs of the milk cling round the edges.
If the glass is first rinsed out in cold water
it can then be washed safely in warm
water in the usual way.
A small paint brush with long, strong,
supple bristles in the best thing with
which to keep cut glass clean. 1t is the
only means of reaching the dust which
lodges in the small carvings.

WEALTH IN sHAD

Bowers BEACH, April 10th. The big
gest catch of shad this season and for four
years was made at Big Stone Beach by
these fishermen: Macklin and Travis. l54;
Swain, 1U6; Davenport, "a. All these
fine fish of the variety that it was feared
was becoming extinct in Delaware waters
were offered and sold in home markets
the male shad bringing 25 to 45 cents
each and the roes 35 to so cents. The
first trout of the season was caught by
Charles Hobbs, of Milford, at Cedar
Beach on Friday and weighed nearly
three pounds. Ten nets were dipped to-
day for the trout fishing season and the
nets average $50 fathoms each.
