LIFE IN ICELAND.
Il 10 Not the Crude Existenes That
Many People Imagine.

Most people think Of the Icelander,
as being like Eskimos. a crude. unen
lightened people looking more liz,
animals than people and living il
snow huts. dressed in furs. wherea,
the lcelanders are handsome. cultured
people. highly educated. with fair faces
and brilliant eyes and very dainty
fashion Of dressing They live in neat.
| charming houses. have beautiful flower
gardens aud never wear furs. for the
reason that il is never bitterly cold In
Iceland on account Of the gulf stream
washing its shores
As 10 their diet il is somewhat
wanting in variety on account OF the
lack of many food staples. but all their
dishes have certain odd richness that
is very delicious TO stranger. II is
largely because Of the amount Of OIL
they use. They cook many things in
ola clear, sweet fish oil, though sub
stituting olive oil makes the dishes
quite rs tempting. They try to use
their native products. as everything
else has TO come 50 far and the steam
ers call only once in ten DAYS from
England and Denmark. and the import
ed goods are expensive for IcelanderS,
who are not very well of. though nev-
er poor.
Their own products are fish in vast
quantities: lamb, the chief meat; eggs.
wild ducks. sleeps milk. cheese and
butter; turnips. Of which they raise
and eat more than of any other veee-
table; potatoes onions and beets.
beans and occasionally peas; spinach.
cabbage and Brussels sprouts; no fruit
to speak of and rarely any beef-it is
imported from Denmark and Scotland.
Pork is rarely eaten and then In the
form Of imported bacon.
But out of this meager list of staples
hey evolve some truly delicious dish
,s. for the island people are all good
'ookS and have a native knack that is
ike the French. They can make any
hing they cook taste good, no matter
What the ingredients may be-London

SUSSEX County eau build roads cheaper
than either Of the other counties in Del
aware, and the roads when built will bs
more permanent, as we'll as more attrac-
tive to look upon. while at the same
time, they Will cost less for repairs than
other roads. This statement IS based
upon the fact that in Sussex County
there are sections where the supply of
clean sand is on the spot where it is TO
used and the only thing or material
aside from water and labor. to be brought
in IS. cement In many sections Of the
country there is sandy soil, and in the
roads a splendid supply of sand that has
been cleaned from any clay ingredients,
which needs neither hauling nor man
ipulation. In instances of this kind, the
roads should be graded, the water turned
away from the road bed for the full thirty
feet Of roadway. and when that IS done
the centre Of the road for fourteen feet
should be opened for a depth of at least
twelve inches. and the sand then be
mixed by a concrete mixing machine
with cement and properly placed in the
centre of the road. This should be cut" |
al each fifty feet, ''and angle irons be
placed at these cuts" so as TO provide /
ior contraction and expansion OF the
road bed in changing seasons From
the experience of other states, and the
experience that the Town Of Milford has
had with concrete road work it is almost
a certainty that permanent roads can be
built in Sussex county for a cost. not to
exceed two thousand dollars per mile;
this where the sand formation does not
have 20 be hauled by wagon. If the
County Engineer will experiment along
This line with even a half-mile Of road
way in some OF the districts where the
conditions are favorable, We believe that
he future roads OF Sussex county will be
argelv Of this construction, and that the
oeOple will get better roads than other
ARTS Of Delaware, at a far less cost. {

played by Miss Lottie McAfee, the
bride came in on the arm of her faith
or. She was lovely in an embroidered
gown with white satin rosebuds, and
carried bouquet of bride roses and
ferns, caught with chiffon ribbon.
The pretty bungalow was decorated
most tastefully, the color scheme being
red and white, strawberries, sweet
briar, Oregon grape and ferns giving
the rooms a most artistic appearance.
