Dover, Delaware. It was sent by
Mr.. Clarence L. James, who also
wrote a letter in which he called at
tention TO few matters of interest
il connection with the little state of
DelaWare-which contains only
three counties, he says.
On the front page of the Sentinel
is 2 picture of the Delaware state
house The picture of the capitol is
given in connection with the unveil-
ing and dedicating of the state
house memorial tablet, presented by
the D. A. R., the governor Of the
| state and other notables being pres
ent
Mr.. James impaired the informa-
tion that this state house building is
not any larger than the Muskingum

good a building. He stated that
the governor of Delaware draws a
salary of $4,000 per year The pop
ulation of the state he said, is 225,-
900, and Of this number over one
half are located in the city of Will
mington.
The State Sentinel is published at

James expressed his opinion as fol-
Iows-'fis not near so good paper

Unhappiness in Wake
of Auoidable Worry

The thing which causes us to worry
is either something that can be rem
edied, or can't. The thing to do is to
look it squarely in the face. Swallow
an unpleasant truth or so if necessary,
but get down to the issue, is the adj
vice of the Montreal Family Herald.
If the cause cannot be changed. there
is only one thing to dO-dOn't think
about it. Force yourself to shut it out
of your consciousness. Just close your
mind to il, and let the blow fall when
and where it will. Since you can't
stop it, you might at least save your
strength for the finish.
But most of our worries are avoid
able We worry because we suddenly
think, two hours after we left the
house. that we maybe didn't turn off
the electric iron in the kitchen. or be
cause we have a house full of company
in the evening and nothing seems
ready, or because the children won't
eat their vegetables, but will fill up on
candy. or any number of small things
that are the result of our own careless
ness or our inattentiOn TO duty.

Qualities of Magnet
Explained by Science

The coast and geodetic survey says
that every magnet possesses two kinds
of magnetism, that in one end being
different from what is in the other.
If the magnet is hung up on a thread
SO that it is free to turn and q second
magnet Is brought up to it, it may be
noticed that the near end of the sec
ond magnet draws one end of the sus-
pended magnet and repels the other
The repulsiOn Is exerted between like
kinds of magnetism and the attraction
between unlike kinds The earth has
all the characteristics of q permanent
magnet, and for this reason a sus-
pended magnet, when allowed to come
to rest, will take up a definite posi-
ton. which is determined by the d.
rection of the earth's magnetism at
the place. The end of the magnet
which points In a northerly direction
in this vicinity is frequently called
the north pole of the magnet, but the
term nOrth-seeking pole is better, as it
distinguishes the magnetism of the
north end of the magnet from that
of the magnetic North pole of the
earth which is opposite in kind, as at
traction is only exerted between poles
of opposite character.

movements Of the other colleges. The
Interpretation by Carleton is more
ecrudite, presenting higher idealism,
a more elegant diction, especially in
the lower octaves. The andante
movements by both Hamline and Mac
alester give unmistakable evidence
that the Holly Rollers must have
camped near the sites of those col
leges, when they passed through OH
their voyages of the early centuries.
There is a visable trace which could
have been derived from no other
source.
The Charleston is individualistic.

thought of the times is entirely lack

The Charleston is satisfying and

Ancient Mortgage LaWs

Explorer. on the site of ancient
Babylon have dug up clay tablets on
which were recorded agreements from
borrower TO lender whereby the har-
vest of certain fields or vineyards was
pledged as security for loans. Modern
mortgage law is traced back to the
Anglo SaYOns. Records show two forms
of mortgages-the vif-gage or life
pledge and the mortgage or dead
pledge. Under the life ledge the
lender took title to the property and
managed it until such time as the
earnings of the property paid off the
debt. Under the dead pledge, the Dor
rover paid off the debt in full at a
specified time when the mortgage was
Cancelled. In case of failure to pay he
forfeited the property.
