Inertia of Bodies.

Lay visiting card on the tip of the
left forefnCer and on II place penny
a quick flick az the card with the right
second finger Will remove the card
without disturbing the coin. Another
trick which Illustrates the inertia OF
bodies is to knock away the bottom
OF pile Of craftsmen without upset
ting the pile. This Is effected quite
easily with the help OF fiat ruler
The remaining craftsmen are removed
successfully by number OF smart
blows.
a more spectacular and apparently
risky trick consists OF dra wing IA news

A Spunky Poet.


Ramsey COLES in Ii book about Ire
land tells the story OF man whom
he met in public house. This person.
without the formality of an introduc-
ton, presented himself TO Mr.. COLES
as poet He then presented the fol-
lowing as d sample of his manufac-
ture:
You should always keep yer bosses on
the go.
You should always keep yer bosses on
the so.
The sure and steady pace.
Its that as wins the race
You should always keep yer bosses on
the go.
Mr.. COLES was not disposed to admit
that the improvisatore had made his
claim good.
why not 2" sa Id this person. Hasn't
II more sense than some OF the poetry
made by Swinburne or Yeats? Yeats
wrote:
She brings in the dishes and lays them in
a row.
With her to an isle in the water ! would
go
Nov" he continued. why did she
lay the dishes in 81 row instead OF on,
Oh top of another? Simply hecnus'
NE poet must find rhyme TO go.

Plot Against Potato Bugs.

Mr.. A. w. Fuss. one of the most sue
cessful farmers of Worthington Valley,
has plan for the determination of potato
bugs which others farmers might follow
with profit. Mr.. Fuss noticed that when
a few pieces of cut tubers were accidental
ly left uncovered in planting, the old
hard shell bugs that were on hand waiting
for the young vines to appear fell upon
these pieces and devoured them. Acting
upon this hint, Mr.. Fuss cut a number Of
potatoes, soaked them in solution of
paris green and scattered them along the
rows. The result was that the old bugs
were killed and Mr.. Fuss had very few
bugs on his vines during the whole
season. Mr.. Fuss says neighboring
farmers had also followed this plan for
two seasons with good results. de

Peninsula Strawberry Crop
Bumper One.

According to strawberry growers on the
Delaware Maryland peninsula, the crop
will be bumper one this year, but since
returns from some shipments made from
the lower peninsula were only 7 to g cents
per quart. berry growers are considerably
dismayed over their prospects of making
money. Last year the entire crop on the
peninsula was failure on account of the
drouth, and caused great loss of money.
Many farmers who ventured heavily for
this years crop fear that the prospect of
even getting back their investment this
season is very bad.
Early berries from the Southern States
have brought very low prices. mostly on
account of the poor quality, and those
berries have had great tendency to cut
the demand for fruit in the Northern
cities. The Southern berries are bring
ing only 81 crate, which does not pay
for refrigerating and carriage.
The berries from the peninsula, which
bring. only to g cents, ordinarily bring
IS to 20 cents quart at this season. The
vines are heavily laden with large we'll
favored fruit

Charges Road Wage Graft.

Charges of shaving" the pay of
laborers made against, road supervisor
by the Democratic Committee of PEN
cander hundred. Delaware, haye caused
stir in political circles. T. Roseby Nc
MulIin, who made the charges, says he
will lay the matter before the Attorney
General, with view to prosecution.
McMullin says it has been the habit
to this supervisor to give county road
laborers his personal check on Saturday
deducting per cent. from the amount to
which they are entitled. When Levy
Court makes out the warrants, McMullin
says, the supervisor gets them and has
the laborers indorse them, so that he can
draw the entire amount, making per
cent. profit in two days.

Sixteen delegates, eight of them selected
by the friends of President Taft and eight
by the supporters Of Colonel Roosevelt.
but all instructed to vote for the latter at
Chicago. were elected Tuesday at the Re-
publican State Convention in Baltimore.
Although the Taft men controlled a
majority Of the I2o delegates so far as
their personal affiliations were concerned,
they made no effort to defeat the instruc-
tions Of the preference primaries, which
were for Colonel Roosevelt. After some
skirmishing before the convention met a
plank was put in the platform and later
unanimously adopted which declared the
Presidential record of the Colonel with
out parallel in our generation" and con-
cluded with a pledge to give him the ''un-
divided support Of the Maryland delega-
ton for the Presidential nomination.
President Taft's administration was
indorsed in more measured terms and the
Roosevelt forces yielded the position of
national committeeman and pledged
themst Ives TO re-elect TaH man. William
p. Jackson.
The delegates chosen were: At large,
Governor Phillips Lee Goldsborough,
William T. Warburton, Colonel E. c..
