helping them to get roads opened up
in that region. Queer, isn't it, that
the ones YOU try hardest to serve are
always the first to find fault? Twas

Complaint About Park Commissioners.
Several prominent gentlemen. who
were at the Sunday school jubilee in
IBrandywine Park last Monday, are
loud in their complaints about the
condition OF the grounds, and the
regulations enforced by the superin-
Itendent. One gentleman. who, by the
way, pays taxes on considerable real
ESTATE, was very indignant, and said
that previous to Monday he had al
ways been under tho impression that
lat least part OF the $40. 900 year APP
Ipropriated to the commission was
used for the benefit of tho poor us
well as for the wealthy. but that lie
had now come to the conclusion that
the greater part oil the money is used
for those who have their horses and
Carriages to drive over the handsome
Idriveways.
Another gentleman said that he fall
ed to find single footpath for those
who wished to take stroll, but that
there Is a multiplicity OF drlyeways
for those owning turnouts. 1t was
also stated that there 10 great scarcity

May Mako Sport Yet This Season.

The West Chester Republican says:
The Wilmington and Northern h. II.
early in the spring placed 10000
bass and trout in the Brandywlne
creek between Chedd's Ford and
Gainesville. These fish will hardly be
large enough to catch this season.
but some OF the older ones may make
rare sport for the fishermen later in
the year, near the close of the season.
The railroad officials are keeping a
sharp watch on the stream to keep OIL
the not fishermen.
When asked why the railroad COM
Ipany had put the fish 80 far up the
creek, Superintendent A. G. McCaus-
land said that Delaware did not take
care OF her fish. while Pennsylvania
did, having regular fish wardens to
keep their eyes on tho stream. Della
wareh as q fish commissioner and now
that the Wilmington and Northern
Railroad officials are Watching the
stream in conjunction with the fish
wardens OF Pennsylvania, 1t would be
well for the commissioner OF that
State to watch the Brandywlne below
the Pennsylvania line, for If reports
are true many net fishermen from
Pennsylvania arc coming below the
line to escape the authorities OF vii
liam Penn's State.

We read that on the part Of the reputed

fondness for magnificent floor coverings,
and II one can peep between the pages OF
old illuminated books one may get some
idea Of what was high style in those far
away times. Carpets for presence cham.
bers of royalty and for high affairs of chap,
els and cathedrals were rich In design and
in colors almost beyond description. No
less grand were those wrought for less
prominent religious houses, and princely
homes were usually thus adorned.
And, as the story goes, in bowers of la.
dies fayre and upon gently swaying green
swards these costly breadths of matches
tints served a yoodlie purpose for the step

1t was like a poem and a picture, says
one writer, to view the celebrated BaldaL
carpets, inwrought with gold and silver
threads and SO brilliant and exquisite Of tint
as to serve as canopies stretched upon pole,
to shield the royal presence. Their glitter
