The northern boundary line of Della
ware is circular because the charter
given to Penn states that Pennsylva-
MIA was to be bounded on the east by
the Delaware river from twelve miles
distant north of New Castle town un-
til the three and fortieth degree of
north latitude and that the southern
boundary was to be ga circle drawn
at twelve miles distant from the town
of New Castle, northward and west
ward, until the fortieth degree OF
north latitude, and then by straight
line westward This makes circu-
lar boundary for northern Delaware
unavoidable, and the facts above set
forth explain geographical curiosity
that has puzzled many students.

1t is claimed that sheep that will

1t is said that many of the women
of India are very beautiful, especially
in Cashmir, but that it is very hard
to get sight of them, and almost i'm
possible to obtain picture of one of
them. Either they or their husbands
appear to look with rooted disgust on
the photographer, and even when
their photographs are taken they
rarely give permission for copies to be
sold. In typical Hindu beauty the
skin is just dark enough to give q
rich, soft appearance to the complex
ion, the features are regular, the eyes
mild and black and shaded by long
silken lashes; the hands and feet are
small and elegantly formed, the de-
meanor is modest, the manners gentle,
the voice low and sweet.

them He says: al use syrup or

square with cut over half way
through the center, and cross cut
through that to fit around trees or
vines then hold them in place with
clods and put few spoonfuls of the
mixture around the trees or vines on
the paper. l find plenty of dead cut
worms and beetles both on and under

to try it on canl5er worms, but

be cheaper and better than printers

Irrigation,
The more we observe the effects of
irrigation as relating to farming and
the proG}ction of crops the more we
become convinced Of its advantages,
and tht 1t might be probably en-
ployej IN many sections whore such
assistan,le is unthought of. One
point must be conceded and that is,
that moisture is am absolute neces-
sity in crop growing, not only to
start the seed into vital activity, but
as medium whereby the soluble
elements of nutrition are conveyed
TO the plant itself, While it is true
that an excess is Objectionable and
hurtful, IL must at the same time be
remembered, that the want of it, is
also fully as damaging to the growth
and development Of a crop.
The advantage of using irrigation
water is that its office can be
regulated TO meet the actual require
ments, and if there is sufficient
moisture i b the soil to answer the
demand OF the crop and hold it In
condition of healthy growth then the
irrigation supply need not be drawn
upon, this is usually the case in the
spring aftbr the melting of snow and
the fall of spring rains has occurred,
but how often is it the case That as
the summer months come on with
the attendant hot weather, the sup
ply OF moisture diminishes and at
the same time the demand is rapidly
increasing with the increased Growth

ANOTHER SCOOP.
This Time It's Captain Larsen on
Che Fa Players.

The activity in the police depart
ment during the past two months
has had tendency to decrease the
number of che ia players and add to
the road force. 1t has also made the
knights of the green cloth more
careful in the conduct of the game;
mysterious signs and peculiar pass
words have been used to make up
"Che Fa Code" to be used by men
and women who wish to tempt fate
and run chance Of winning two dol
lars or getting two years.
1t has been known for weeks that
a game was in progress in the vicin-
ity of the Mormon church but the
bankers were so systematic in their
business that it has been impossible
to get them in a position to afford
evidence of sufficient Importance to
convict.
This morning, however, Captain
Larsen considered the "pear ripe
enough to pluck" He and two
other members of the force conceal
ed themselves in piano box which
was placed on dray and driven to
the place where the game has been
running. At signal from the driver,
who was also policeman in plain
clothes, the three men in the box
jumped out and entered the pre-
misses where they caught Kekona
and Ioela, ex-policemen, in the act
of preparing tickets. Eight natives
who were in the room made an at
tempt to escape but were captured
by the officers. The lookouts on
Punchbowl and on the streets in the
neighborhood were amazed when
they saw how Capt. Larsen had out
witted them.

Yesterday correspondent raised
point about the sale of certain
postage stamps. 1t is learned that
the stamps in question are of a dis
carded issue and only sold condi-
tionally as specimens, They cannot
be cancelled, in the opinion of the
officials, without thereby acknow-
lodging that they are received post,
ally. The stamp business is as much
of an annoyance to the office as to
the public. More accommodation
is required to do justice to the real
postal business.
