"The Prussian Versailles"

It would be as unjust to form an es- innate of the Hohenzollerns or of their capital without visiting Potsdam as to form an estimate of Germany without visiting Bavaria for Potsdam is more than 'the Prussian Versailles" 1t rep resents the complement of those stern CT Hohenzollern qualities which are embodied in the city of blood and iron. Cold, colorless Berlin may we'll be seen on the gray days of standard Prussian weather. Sunlight seems exotic there. But the characteristic charm of Pots dam is revealed only when skies are bright and flowers are in bloom.-Rob- ert Haven Schauff1er in Century.

Early Method. of Curing skina

The original process of curing skins was probably the simple one of clean ing and drying them. Removal of the hair by maceration in water seems to have been common among the very early tribes, and one writer has sug- gested that the idea was obtained from the natural process of depilation. They must certainly have been familiar with it in the case of drowned animals, where maceration can be plainly ob- served. Following this smoke. sour milk. oil and the brains of the animals themselves were found eficacious. Many of these primitive methods are employed in remote places at the pres. ont time

PEACHES GOING TO MARKET EARLY.

The peach season for 1910 is now near.
ing its heighth in this part Of Delaware,
and the quality Of peaches is much bet
ter than those ripeDed last week. On
Monday there was about g carload OF
peaches sold in Milford market, and the
greater part Of them went by steamer
The prices ranged from fifty cents to 81
per basket for a few fancy baskets.
Good white peaches brought from 20 to
so cents, while the large fancy yellow
varieties sold from IS to 80 cents geneF
ally. Small well colored fruit brought
from so to so cents. Bartlett pears sold
for 80 cents per basket. The Elbertas
will be on the latter part Of next week.
Three car loads were shipped from the
depot and over six carloads on the boat
There was less frnit in market on
Tuesday in Milford than the day pre-
vioHs, but the prices we're higher. Many
loads Of peaches came to Milford from
a distaBce Of fifteen miles, and the prices
justified the grower for his haul. Prices
ranged from IS cents to 81 25 for fine
peaches, and most good fruit sold at
about the 81 per basket mark. Four
carloads were sent to market, but the
steamer took many baskets when she
left shortly before dag break on Wed.
nesday morning. Fine white peaches
of the Champion variety sold readily at
81 O5 per basket, while small red fruit
brought from so to 70 cents.
Wednesday the supply Of fruit was
greater than on Tuesday, and prices
were well maintained. The prices for
fne white peaches ranged from IS cents
to Sl.O5 per basket, and the average
was abOu; 20 cents Eight cars were
loaded and sent from Milford

GRANGE DISCUSS POINTS OF Law.

A regular meeting of the Grange was
held Saturday, August 9Th, at the usual
hour. Mr.. J. J. Rosa reported on the
Produce Exchange, saying that the Ex-
change OF Milford was fully organized
and in working order, and was greatly
pleased with results at this early date
It was great saving of time to the pro-
ducer to be able to drive to the station,
unload their produce and drive away feel
ing that it would be properly taken care
of and sold to the best advantage, without
any further thought on their part.
In regard to Points OF Law Farmer
Should Know" which was the subject
for the day, Mr.. Rosa said it was well to
know enough Of law to keep out of its
clutches.
Dir. Cook seconded Mr.. Rosa's saving
in this matter, as he had had considera-
ble experience during his career as a bus
iness man, in being on the jury, etc, and
had found very little justice in the law
in fact, had seen cases decided entirely
contrary to the law. He advises the learn
ing OF some of the technical points of law
in order to avoid law suits. He also said
that according to the law, marriage on
Sunday was only civil contract and not
a legal marriage.
Mr.. Peet said Law is a bad thing to
get mixed up in. A farmer will often
meet with some one in local action in
spite Of bis trying to avoid it. He should
know the law in regard to the signing of
notes and making of contracts. When
man is worth anything and puts his
name on paper, he has to meet the obli- |
CATION, and he should know what that |
paper says; it may look very nice, and |
still be all wrong, which shows how care
ful one should be in signing anything. |
Contracts drawn up on Sunday are void. /
If you dun person on Sunday the debt
is cancelled. A contract drawn on a legal |
holiday will not stand. If you buy a
machine on time, they require you to
,ign a contract, they agreeing to replace
The parts, etc. have seen lawsuits re-
3ulting from signing these contracts A
nan bought q binder and it worked all
light; another man came along from an.
,ther firm, and said it was not good,
which caused him to take it back leaving
t in a shed; but did not notify them
hat he had returned it. A lawsuit re-
ulted, and the farmer lawed with the
irm until be lost all be had. This shows
low important it is that farmer should
Znow that all contracts are binding"
The next meeting will be held Satur-

FORCING AN ISSUE.

Tne property owned by Mrs. Joseph
). Bradley, on Causey Avenue, now Oc.
cupied as a store and Office, stands upon
the sidewalk Of the street, according to
the lines and grades established by the
Town Council. The property was built
over twenty years ago by the then owner
without having secured a building per.
init, and before any sidewalk was es.
tablished for that side OF the street-as
it was then a mill yard in which the
street itself was utilized as a dumping
place for saw logs. Since the old saw
mill passed away the property has been
built upon, and the handsome factory
Of the L. d. Caulk Dental Company
now occupies its site leaving the old
wooden building now owned by Mrs.
Bradley extending beyond the estsb.
lished lines. An attempt was made to
have the matter adjusted amicablY-.the
L. D. Csulk Company offering to share
third Of the expense Of moving the
old frame building bsck-but this has
failed, and the matter will be fought
out in court. The first move in the mat.
ter was made last week, when Town
Council received the following letter:
