ANCIENT CUSTOMS IN MALTA
Many Things Done In the Manner In
Vogue Hundreds Of Years
Ago.

In Malta the customs Of hun
bred years ago are still in vogue.
Take, for instance, their method Of
harvesting. Instead of cutting the
wheat as in this country, the har-
vesters kneel down to their task and
taking hold Of the wheat pull it up
by the roots, SO that there is never
seen in Malta field of stubble.
The wheat is then taken to a cor
ner of the field where there is a
smooth circular patch of stones, usu-
ally about twenty feet radius, is
spread over a it to a depth of eigh-
teen inches or so, and trampled on
by oxen, a small boy usually leading
them by a rope. When the process
of thrashing is completed the straw
is forked away and the grain swept
up ready for the mill.
Another curious custom is their
way of watering the roads. The wa.
fer cart consists of a light kind Of
vehicle dubbed by the military q
fve-barrel gate), which consists OF
nothing more or less than a pair OF
shafts with about eight battens bolt
ed across them, and couple Of dag
onals to strengthen the whole.
On the cart is dashed fifty-si1
gallon barrel, and a length of canvas
hose about a yard long is connected
TO it, terminating in sprinkler. The
cart is always attended by two men
one leading the horse and the othel
taking hold of a. couple Of yards O
rope, the end d. which is fastened
to the sprinkler cad of the hose. A
the cart goes along, SO he follows
and keeps the sprinkler swinging
from side to side.--Newark News

extremely small. Then came a
suspension of more than decade,
followed by a period of struggle
and numerical weakness. Only |
within the last fifteen or twenty
years has the Alumni body grown
more rapidly in numbers and
there are undoubtedly far more
living graduates and former stu
dents of the College than at any
other previous time in its history.
Furthermore, the graduates of
Delaware College are sharing as
never before the prosperity of the
country, so that there are more
of them able to give to the Insti-
tuition than at any previous time,
and more of them awake to the
fact that they owe their success in
business life very largely to the
training obtained in their College
course. The active canvass OF
the Alumni Endowment Fund for
$3.50, 900 has just begun, and quite
Substantial sums have already
been subscribed. The Alumni
Committee is made up Of FL. Rod.

Hon, Victor B, Wooley, T, Bayard

1t has been suggested that since
Tuition is free to all residents of
lDelawaRe, and the charge for
others is $50; per year, every
/ Alumnus who has had the, priyi-
lege of free tuition should feel
that sooner or later, he should
: turn into the funds Of the College
the f240, which that privilege
really represents, and thus aid
the College to extend the privilege
, to another Delawarean.
As to those Alumni, who hat
!. paid tuition doubtless many O
] them will feel that what Delawar'
College has given them was wortl

DELAWARE COLLEGE ALUMNI i
ENDOWM ENT. FUND. -

Delaware College is in the
midst of the most interesting de.
velopmentsin its history ofalmost
eight years. The new perpetual
charter now goes into effect, ga
direct appropriation from the
State Of 10, 900 for two years will
soon become available as income;
the commission to superintend
the building the affiliated college
for women has been appointed;
and IsanAE important Emovement
among the Alumni for the raising
Of permanent Endowment Fund
for $3.50, 900 is hopefully under
way.
IPerhaps the most significant OF
all these interesting matters lis
the Alumniji movement for5ithe
creation OF permanent endow-
ment. Never before have the
Alumni undertaken to raise a
considerable sum in aid Of the
College. There are many reasons
for this seeming Indifference upon
the part of the Alumni, chiei
among them, perhaps, the paraly-
zing notion that an Institution en-.
joying the financial support of the
State, and Federal Government
has no need of private friends.
1t is worth a great deal to have
that false notion exploded,
Another reason why there has
hitherto been no such concerted
movement of the Alumni as is now
in progress, is found in the com
paratively small body OF gfadu
ates. Up to 1859, the College was

why do we sometimes get an ache in

is a nerve running along the back Of
the nose which doctors call the an

these branches join through finer
