its branchless trunk, towering forty
and more feet skyward; the Banyan

roots and trunks combined, thus form

exquisite flower pots when in bloom.

Bloomin Cereus, rightly styled, as it
blooms only when the moon shines,

her lover in the evening. This latter,
vine graces the stone fences.

not offensive, permeates the air on
the mountain as well as in the dells,
fitting surrounding for the dreamer,
philosopher and poet.

Artificial sponos.

An artificial sponge, the outcome Of
German ingenuity, is now to be had,
according to the Scientific American.
The process Of making It consists
principally in the action of zinc
chloride on pure cellulose. This re-
suits in a pasty viscous mass, which
is mixed with coarsely grained rock
salt
Placed in press mold armed with
pins the mass Is pierced through and
through until It appears traversed by
a multitude Of tiny canals. like the
pores Of a natural sponge. The ex-
cess Of salts is subsequently removed
by prolonged washing in a weak al
coholic solution. The artificial sponge
swells up with water but hardens on
drying, just like its prototype; It is
said to be eminently adapted for A.
tering water for sanitary OF industrial
uses and It can be employed for all
the purposes that are usually assign
ed to the genuine article.

To the thousands of readers o.
the CHRONICLE we wish one and
all a very Merry Christmas, and
may good digestion wait upon ap
petite, so that those who feast may
enjoy the good fortune of good
health. The season is one of glad
ness, and while to each the same
fortune is not given, yet there is no
person who will so splendidly enjoy
the real christmas spirit, as those
who look to the neighbor, or to the
who at this time is by
or by some reason unable
to supply the comforts to their fam
lily, or even feel the kindly spirit of
christmas, because of either the lack
Of opportunity, or by reason Of
wasted opportunity. Help the un
fortunate and your christmas will
be doubly happy. A kind thought
in a practical way by
warm raiment, or nourishing food |
nay help to bring pleasure to an
Unfortunate, and it will surely bring
sense Of happiness to you. Again
o one and all, A Merry Christmas.

PAMPHLETS have been sent out

Education to the teachers of the

the result will be in many Instances.
an increase in the salary of the
teachers. The questions which the
teachers are to answer are placed
on a seperate sheet, or one that can
be easily detached from the PAM

THE conviction of J. Wesley
Glasgow in the United States Court
at Wilmington this week, OF send

be appealed by Judge Fay, who

This case seems to have backing
from the great centres of popula-

THIRTY years ago there was no
lack of labor to carry on all opera
tions of the farm, but today the far
mers all over this great country
voice the same complaint, that there
is a lack of labor which almost
amounts to inability to save some
crops after they are grown. This,
in face of the fact, that the rates
per day for labor have doubled,
seems to indicate that those who
have grown up since, or during that
time, have been absorbed into the
trades and professions. The world |
has never before witnessed so much |
labor-saving machinery, or labor
saving methods, as have been de.
veloped in the past thirty years,
yet with all this the cry is loud for
more labor, and the effort to get it
from European countries seems not
to quiet the call. Our roads are
suffering for labor at the proper
time because the labor is not to be
had; the farmers need all they can
get to plant, cultivate and save the
many diversified crops which have
3upplanted the old farming system
If other years. The building Of
-oads, the drainage of our swamps, {

his lack Of labor supply. The in )
.reased remuneration Of labor will :

The Nation Of Hotel keenan,.

The playground of Europe" is the
very appropriate name bestowed upon
Switzerland. In the summer time
tourists come from all parts Of the
world and fill the notes.-the best or
ganiEed and best kept Of any in the
world-for the Swiss are a nation of
hotel keepers. The statement Of the
Chocolate Soldier the hero Of Bern
ard Shaw's Arms and the Man" that
his family has a home with three hun
dred rooms. fifty servants, twenty
cows and so on, sounded like a baro-
NAL tale until he explained that he
was the son Of a Swiss hotel keeper.
Now the long and severe Swiss win
ter has been turned to advantage,
and even when the great, blue lakes
are frozen and the snow mantles the
lower hills, the tourist still raves
over the varied beauties and grandeur
OF the Swiss scenery and the many
delights Of her mountain hosteIries.-

what now appears to be calamity
will be the greatest boon to the en-
tire State. Now is the opportunity
for the influential men, the think
ers and the hustlers to accomplish |
great thing for Delaware, by call |

Explains Crisis.
M. Francois Rollin. formerly in the
meat trade and the author of several
works published by the societe d'Asricul-
ture. furnished this explanation Of the
crisis:
To-day" he said. rich and poor alike
buy only the best pieces of meat. Every
Ssdy wants roast meat and outlets. Boil
ed beer ana stews have disappeared.
Consequently the second-class and third
class pieces-that is to say. two-fifths of
the animal-do not find a purchaser and
to get rid of them the butcher has to
dispose OF them at very inferior prices to
the cheap restaurants The losses he
thus sustains he is compensated FOR by
the high prices he charges for the best
meat. Besides the consumption of meat
has greatly increased of recent wears.
There was time when in the greater
number OF working class families butcher
meat was eaten only on rare occasions.
Today II is an article of EVERYDAY con-
sumption in the humblest villages. Add
to that the increase In general expenses,
due especially to the rise in wages the
application of the weekly rest law, COM
pensation for accidents. etc. Another
thing that makes meat dear is that
France eats more veal than any other
country in the world. In this country we
eat our corn in the blade"
