TROLLEY CARS TIE
UP TWO HOURS

BY the blowing out Of a boiler tube at
the power plant Of the Wilmington city
Railway Company on the Brandywine
creek late yesterday afternoon the COM
pany's lines throughout the city were
tied up for nearly two hours.
Fortunately the company has duplicate
set Of boilers otherwise the tie-up would
have been complete for at least day.
Fires we're quickly started in the other
boilers and within two hours there was
enough steam to start the plant
The break down caused some inoonveni-
ence TO the traevling public. At Sevepth

They Are Taken Too Seriously BY
Some Modern Chemists.
II is one Of the penalties OF Shake
speare's position as great poet that
his words are taken seriously.
A learned doctor ia a foreign scien-
tific review has been molding an inQui-
sition into the poisons mentioned by
him. He points out that the Juice OF
cursed hebenon." which Claudtus Is
said to have poured into the ear OF
Hamlet's father, is incapable of pierre
ing the tympanum OF the ear and
therefore could not have penetrated
the body and poisoned the blood. as
the ghost alleges. Again. the narcotic
which Friar Laurence administers to
Juliet was probably either Datura
stramonium or mandragora r~ot- The
FIRST is used by the convicts in New
Caledonia when they wish to rob their
companions, but its effects do not last
forty-two hours nor anything like that
time A scientist who experimental on
himself with mandragora found that
intense sickness Is caused on waking.
and this did not happen to Juliet. As
for the poison which was given to Ro-
meo. it was probably aconite or one OF
those mixed poisons composed Of vege-
table alkaloids and ptomaine. since It
was so remarkably rapid in its effects.
But that is the fault OF too serious
people, They viii take everything Sc
riously. Shakespeare probably knew
nothing at all of poisons or OF mar
cotics He was a poet and not chem
ist and might therefore be allowed the
usual poetic Reconsideration Globe.

New cuirass Gowns.

The frock that has the straight fitted
bodice, TO the lower edge Of which is
attached full skirt. is one Of the pop
ular novelties of the day.
Redfern invented II. and called 1t the
robe Dagobert. The cuirass effect was
like coat Of mail--a close network Of
dull gold. with a skirt Of bronze tulle
over satin. From IL is evolved the
everyday cuirass gown. Il is seen in all
manner Of fabrics. as women are glad
to adopt something entirely new.
In effect It is like the tight jersey OF
other days pulled snugly down over 2
short pleated skirt. Such costnm'
was the alteration Of the young cir
about two decades ago
At present II Is only seen in its elsb
crate form. but there are already ru
mors of ginghams, linens, and cottoi
fabrics made with a long fitted bodice
that extends to tn chips. with a pleate'
or ruffied skirt.

Iinht snnn,nr nressns

So many pretty costumes may be evol-
we'd at trifVng expense when one plans
with summer fabrics that the bride finds
it hard TO decide on specific fabrics and
colors among the wealth Of pretty things
displayed in the shops
She should select at least two coat and
skirt suits of linen, one in a medium
shade for outing wear and the other in
rose. mauve or somo other dainty color
for dressy wear
The latter suit. II made with a prin-
cess frock and a long coat trimmed with
buttons, will prove a very useful summer
costume for weekend trips.
OF course. there will be at least one
very dainty lingerie frock with snow
white hat and paraaol 10 match.

A veteran stagecoach driver in Idaho

line. He had on one trip only a single
passenger, a little tenderfoot Of New
England schoolma'am going TO take

Boston than the Hudson river. Along
about dusk one evening as she sat on
the box by the driver and the team
wound its way around the shoulder OF
a bleak mountain a highwayman sud
denly stepped into the middle OF the
road and held up his hand. A cooked
rife rested easily in the hollow OF his
arm and its muzzle pointed straight
at the drivers head. He quickly pulled
up.
"Throw over wells-Fargo's boxT
said the man with the gun.
The driver reached down and flung
the box into the road: then he started
to gather up the reins.

EDUCATE TOTS
TO BE POLITE
Unless Well hammered They
are a Source of Annoy
anCe TO Your Friends

Unless children are well hammered they
are constant source Of annoyance and
trouble to every one with whom they come
in contact. and as their manners are
wholly a matter Of training, parents can
not begin too early to instill into their
minds ideas of politeness.
II Is said by foreigners that American
parents are not good discipinarians and
that American mothers are quite indiffer-
ent to the need Of planting in their or
spring. at a tender age, the seeds from
which good breeding grows.
This critical foreign viewpoint is un.
fortunately often true and to be deplor.

Owed Articles.

In dyeing at home amateurs often
make the mistake of putting the dyed
article through the wringer. possibly
to avoid staining the hands for one
reason or perhaps hoping to dry the
garment more quickly. This, however,
should never be done. for the creases
so formed are most obstinate and. in
fact. often only disappear with wear,
despite all pressing. Dyed articles
should be squeezed from the bath and
hung out Of doors to dry.

VIII the Trusts Control
Air and Water?

How often have you used that
good old joke about the trusts
controlling everything but the
air we breathe !
You may soon have a chance
TO turn this jest to earnest,
= There is a fat young trust
forming just now that proposes
to reach its tentacles into the ain
we breathe and draw therefrom
a product which will enable tho
monopoly to "levy tribute on
every loaf of bread, every pound
of beef and every manger Of
oats" y
We are quoting from their own
prospectus. This interesting
trust is now part of the hustling
group which, is grabbing our water,
powers. With cheap water power
they will produce a fertilizer
which in Germany enables the
farmer to raise 400 bushels of
potatoes to the acre, and in slow
old behind-the-times u. S. A. we
average only IS bushels. Other
crops are benefited in the same
proportion.
Energy in the soil; energy in
the streams. Those are things
we've got to wake up and protect;
or else these trust gentlemen
will do just what their prospectus
says they'll do: Levy a tribute
on every thing we use.
