For some time we have been sus- 1 peering the only really religious ! paper in Cape " May county (the Ocean City "Ledger,") of "pitching" the Real Estate Transfers from the columns of the Gazette; altho they were rewritten and hid every appearance of having been copied direct from the county records— the same place the Gazette gets them. In order to find out just how much we were warranted in looking upon the "Ledger" with suspicion, in our issue of the fifteenth of April we altered the initials of three, grantees whose names appeared in the transfers of property. By a most marvelous coincidence. the issue of the religious "Ledger" of the 23rd contained the same names that appeared in the Gazette, and with the same errors that we had purposely made in ramet Was it telepathy, or did the "Ledger' actually lift the real estate news out of the columns of the Gazette, errors and all ?^-C, Jfl.

LAUNDRY | LAWN-DRY i 0 We are often asked why do they a call a Laundry, Laundry. The word '' laundry has come down through the 1 ages froin Lawn Dry, before the s days of wash tubs, .clothes lines, etc., * and long, long before the invention I of the rotaky washing machine and { hyder-extractor or whizzer as the 5fd , "time laundress used to cali it. The good lady of aacient timds used to do g the week's wash in any handy running stream, or pond* by dousing the clothes in the water, beating them with sticks or taking a garment by t! one end and beating the dirt out on o the stones and after very little rins- o

they were laid on the lawn or grass or hung bn bushes (herwe the i word Lawn Dry to dry this was a very slow, tedious process and was not always done weekly. Imagine trying to get soiled -linens clean in day of modern laundries (by the above process).
