they do is but a small percentage Of the
total FIRE insurance business of the coun-
try. 1t is estimated that more than 30
per cent Of all the fire insurance in the
United States Is written by incorporated
stock companies. These companies as a

The Mill Mutual Insurance Companies
are an interesting development in the
insurance world. These companies are
formed as much for the prevention of fire
as for the payment Of insurance. They
have established a thorough system of in
spectiop and require every policy holder
to take such steps as preventive engineer

insured property. One OF the installa

The State Board of Education
has placed itself on record as posi-
tive in its enforcement of the in
structious given by a resolution,
forbidding County Superintendents
TO grant conditional certificates to
teachers, who were not able to pass
the examinations to teach in the
public schools. This means simp-
ly, that the school which fails to
secure a qualified teacher before the
supply is exhausted, will have to
either close up the school for that
year, or pay the teacher employed
by them out of money raised by
either taxation or subscription, as
the state treasurer will not be
authorized to pay any of the state
money TO any school employing a
teacher without a certificate as re-
quired by law. This may mean
that costly lessons will have to be
learned by some of those who are
now looking after the rural schools.

LAST Friday evening at the Cen
trail Hotel in Milford was a gather
ing OF those interested in the wild
game of the State of Delaware, and
their purposes should, and we doubt
not will, interest every good citizen
Of not only Delaware, but of the
entire Maryland-Delaware penin-
sula. The object of the gathering
was to discuss the game laws as now
on the books and see if some recon-
mendations could not be agreed up
on for radical change in the laws,
which would preserve the game
and fish of our streams. Edward G.
Bradford, Esq, of Wilmington, who
is deeply interested in the question,
read very interesting paper on the
subject, in which he gave some
startling facts which he had gather
ed from statistics of other states
under working of their laws on the
subject. In another column we
print extracts from his remarks,
which were delivered after a ban
quet was served to the members of
the Milford Rod and Gun Club, Of
which he was the guest.

but today they are a necessity in
business and professional work and
in almost universal use all over the
world for pleasure and economy by
millions Of people. But the auto

plished the feat of flying from AL
bany, New York, TO the city of
New York, a distance of 1877 miles,
IN 81 minutes, beating an express

J. II. Rosa brought box of fine berries
of the Heritage variety, which had been
