Both Sing and Talk.

In view of the success which is OBJ
tanned by the moving picture appara-
tus, the idea naturally occurred TO
use the photograph in connection
with it, so as to hear the voice at the
same time that we see the picture.
Among such devices is combined
talking and picture-exhibiting ma
chine recently devised and patented
by New York man. At the top Is
an opening for viewing the pictures,
and adjacent thereto, where they will
come in contact with the ears of the
user, are sound tubes. The latter are
adjustable to accommodate the many
sizes of heads naturally encountered.
In making the pictures for these NOV

RYE AND CORN.

Is it advisable to SOW rye for pas
ture in corn at the last blowing o.
corn? Some Of our customers want
to SOW then, if there is no danger
Of hot dry weather killing it. Please
give us your opinion and oblige SUBJ
scriber.-C. l.. S.
Answer:-We recommend the plan
of sowing rye at the last blowing OF
corn. for early spring pasture. Sow
about one-half bushel seed to the
acre; it will give about the best early
pasture you can get. Vetch might be
earlier and better, but it would be
hard to get the seed. OF course we
cannot tell how dry the fall weather
is going to be. but the chances are
that the rye will get enough moIs-
ture to grow all right.-Indiana Farm.

Why the Marquis Paid.

The famous surgeon Velpeau was
! visited one day at his home during
the consultation hour by marquis
renowned for his closeness. Velpeau
informed the marquis that an opera
ton was urgent and that the fee
would amount to 1000 francs At
this the marquis made a face and left.
A fortnight later DR.. Velpeau, while
making his rounds in the Hospital de
la Charlie, had his attention attract
ed by face that seemed familiar to
him. In answer to his inquiry it was
stated that the patient was a footman
of nobleman in the Fambourg Saint
German. The surgeon found that his
case resembled in every particular the
somewhat unusual one for which the
marquis had consulted him fort
night previously. He refrained, how
ever, from making any comments.
Three weeks after the operation
when the patient was about to be dis
charged Dr. Velpeau called him aside
and exclaimed:
Monsieur, I am extremely fiat
tered and pleased to have been able
to cure you. There is. however, a
small formality with which you will
have to comply before I can sign your
exeat; that Is. you will have to sign
IA check for 10000 francs In behalf
Of the public charity bureau of your
metropolitan district" The patients
face became livid.
You can do what you like about
It," continued the doctor; "but If you
refuse all Paris will know tomorrow
that the Marquis de D adopted
the disguise of footman in order to
secure free treatment at this hospital
and to usurp the place which belongs
by right to a pauper." OF course the
marquis paid.-Cleveland Leader

Mission Of . Hymn.

There Is mo more popular hymn in

Newman's Lead, Kindly Light" It
has soothed thousands Of hearts be-
elouded by sorrow, and inspired hope
when faith had vanished. A few days
ago it once more performed its beau-
tiful task Of Hitting despair.
A disastrous explosion occurred In

prtsoning $50 miners. One Of the
thirty-two men recovered from the

his companions sang a great deal.
Further questioned as to the songs

There has long prevailed the idea

NEW FIELD FOR COWS.

Where cows are kept all the time
in the same field, they tired down the
grass so that there is much they will
not eat. BY having new field to
turn them into each week, you will
give the grass a chance to straighten
UP and be washed clean by dew and
shower. Then the cows will eat i.
and do much better on it.-Farmers'

A BOX FOR HENS.

If the hen is allowed to drag her
brood all around the place and hover
them wherever she chances to be at
night, she is pretty sure to lose some
OF the chicks. The chief duty OF the
mother hen is to furnish warmth
when the chicks need it and to that
end she should be housed in dry,
clean, roomy box at night.-Farmers'

COST OF A HORSE.

What does it cost to raise colt
to the age of four years? Wallace's
Farmer" gives the following:
The first and second years 1t IS
no more expensive, to grow a colt
than a steer. A colt may require y
little more pasture and will require
rather better fencing. but will stand
hardship better than the yearling
steer, although, to get the best re-
suits, both Of them must have some
grain in connection with forage. Give
the colt a winter pasture OF blue
grass or second crop. clover, plenty
OF exercise. and shelter in time OF
storms, and he will do better and
can be carried through at less ex-
pense chan the steer.
At two years old, II not before.
the steer must be put on feed. ami
1t will cost at least fifty bushels OF
corn with other feed to At him for
the market. The filly at two years
old may be bred il she has been we'll
fed and nourished; II not. then at
three years old. She should be able
to pay her way in the way of light
work; and where the farmer has
surplus, should be sold to some man
who can work her on the gelding
for two years, making them pay ex.
penses, and sell them on the market
at a higher price than they cost in
the three-year-old form.
We think. therefore, that there
is good profit to any farmer in rails
ing colts for the market, provided he
limits his operations to the number
Of mares kept on the farm. In fact.
he should keep three brood mares
where he really needs but one. He
can afford to do this If he will mate
them every year with the right sire.

FARM NOTES.
Skip feding at noon while the hens
are out on good range.
Sloppy mashes are not half so good
as those which are bit crumbly.
Don't get them too wet.
Gather up the chaff and grain
around the machine at threshing time
and store IN DarrelS LOT the HcAS "
work at during the winter.
The average poultryman makes
nothing by holding either eggs or
stock for better prices. The eggs
deteriorate, and keeping fowls after
they are in good order only eats up
the profit which should be made.
Twelve to fourteen. inches square
are about the proper dimensions for
a box in which to set hen. A larg-
er box will give the eggs room to
scatter and thus be chilled, while
smaller box may crowd the hen. re-
sulting in broEs aggs.
Poultry require san, in small guam
titles, the same as other stock. bnt
It should be mixed in the feed. One
ounce of salt to Is or 100 hens daily
is suficient. Large amounts OF salt
usually result fatally, but small
quantity will prove beneficial.
Just as soon as the chicks show
any serious permanent defect, they
should be fitted for market and sold.
There Is more real profit in market
ing birds at two or three pounds than
In keeping them until they weigh six
pounds.

A literary function of extraordi-
nary interest will be given in the
Club House, Tuesday evening, March
%, by Mrs. Hannibal A. Williams
of New York. Mrs. Williams has
recently returned to this country
after a five years professional tour
of the world, and in the twelve for
eign countries visited, the English
speaking people greatly admired her
scholarly presentations of Shake
speare' matchless plays. From all
over the United States come express
sions of delight and appreciation in
scores of university towns, in the
chief cities, from scholars divines
and college professors, she has won
the highest praise. Mrs. Williams
lately appeared in Wilmington in a
series of recitals and the press of that
city was a unit in praise of the per-

Dover. The recital in Smyrna will
be "As you Like IT, and doubtless

words of commentator too strong

DEMOCRATS OPPOSE DEPUTIES

Deputy Office Holders in Lower Coun'

In the House Monday afternoon Re
preventative H. P. Halls bills abolish
ing deputyships in the offices of pro-
thonotary, register in chancery and
register of wills in Kent and Sussex
counties were passed. All the Dem
ocrats voted for the bills, and Repre-
sentative Bradford, Republican, voted
with them. All the other Republicans
voted against the bills. Represent
alive Spruance voted against abolish
ing the deputyships saying those Off
cidls were needed in the event of the
officehOlders becoming incapacitated.
The passage of such law, he said,
would bar the appointment of depu-
titles no matter now seriously they
might be needed in event of the
county office holders in Kent or Sus-
sex becoming i'll. The Democratic
speakers contended that the deputies
are not necessary.

SOME IMPORTANT BILLS KILLED
Measures Which Have Caused More
or Less Comment Fail of Passage
in the Delaware Legislature.


The committee of two hundred
farmers has probably won its fight
against the Live Stock Sanitary Board .
bill, creating such board with power
of fOrcible entry and right to vacci-
nate. The matter is left it is I'M
derstood, in this shape: That there be
no live stock sanitary board created
and no forcible entry powers given,
Other than those existing under the
present law and resting in the gov
ernor, and the enforced vaccination
shall also be abandoned, but the
State Board of Agriculture shall be
given more money to cope with and
treat infections and to carry on their
experimental work. Kent county
farmers are up in arms against the
passage of the bill providing for
sanitary livestock board, which has
been passed by the House, though
the latter body later asked that the
bill be recalled from the Senate.
The Senate so far has not complied
with the request. The chief Objec
ton of the farmers appears to be the
provisions providing for quarantine
and incubation, and delegation of
nearly three hundred farmers, many
of them grangers, appeared before
the Senate finance committee to pro-
test against the passage of the bill.
Quick death was administered in the
Senate yesterday to the search and
seizure bill which passed the Senate
Friday with such flying colors. This
was the dry" measure which failed
after several votes in the House Of
Representatives recently. The search
and seizure bill which passed the Sen
ate and was then killed was intro
duced and earnestly advocated by Sen
ator Herman Anderson of Cheswold
who made two strong speeches on thi
and the drug bill. The bill provided
that any two persons may proceed TO
magistrates office and make affidavit
, that they believe Liquor is being de
livered and stored in such quantitie

that it is being illegally sold. TIL
