Wednesday the SUI

On Wednesday the Supreme
Court of New Jersey put an end to
the miserable legislative farce which
minority of Democrats, with the
Governor and Attorney General of
that State have been perpetrating for
nearly three months past, by decld-
ing that the Senate is not like the
Senate OF U. S. a continuing body
and that the President of the RepuE-
lican Senate is the lawful President
of the New Jersey Senate. That
State in the future may be safely
relied upon as being Republican.

The Viking Age.

1t was long the belief the
fierce and hardy Northmen--
progenitors of the English
speaking race-who overran
Britain and North Germany
and France, just as the Roman
Empire was going to pieces,
were little better than wild
barbarians.
Hostile or prejudiced his
torians set such ideas ahoat,
careless or ignorant writers
copied them until almost every
reader thought of the Vikings
and their leaders as savage
creatures whose supreme de-
light was in butchery and
raplne.
1t was left for Mr.. Paul B.
Du Chaillu to set the matter
right. In a work Of surprising
amplitude and research-2
vols, Svo, 1866 illustra ions
and maps-he showed that our
Mortimer ancestors were as
pre-eminent in the arts of
peace as in the science of war.
All that mounds or cairns
could tell, as we'll as the testi-
mony OF the Sagas and Eddas,
were drawn upon for the early
history, manners and customs
of the Mortimer.
The Book was originally
published at $3.50. Today

Apples for Cecil County.

The proof of the pudding is in eating
it, and the same may be said of fruit.
No fruit is as satisfactory as the apple.
Herewith are several varieties of excel
lent apples that have been kept easily
until now.
The York Imperial is an apple above
medium size, red striped on yellow
ground, generally lopsided, (and some
times resem bles closely in outward ap-
pearance the old Penick or Pennock),
firm in flesh. OF yellowish white
with small core am quality the best.
A regular annual bearer, good hanger
against storms when nearly ripe, thrifty
grower and does we'll in all kinds of soil,
season from December to March.
Court of Wick IS a small yellow apple
of excellent quality aud ancient lineage,
in season from February to May. 1t is
a thrifty grower in most soils. This
apple, being small, is SO very austere in
the fall of the year that most persons
think it worthless, but it requires time
for it to fully mature.
Winesap is medium sized, dark red
fruit IN season from January to March.
The quality is ranked by mauy as the
best, to those liking tart apple. Its
keeping qualities are in its favor any
where from Vermont to Virginia. The
tree is a free and rapid grower.
Milburu is Seeding of this county,
Medium in size, regular in shape, striped
red and yellow with numerous white
dots distributed over its surface, flesh
firm, whitish, and mild, sub acid, pleas
ant flavor. This variety found grated
upon trees in the orchard OF late Mr..
Thomas J. Milburn, now owned by
Lesley Goodyear. Mr. Milburn stated
that it had been grated about 1915 by a
friend down in Elk Neck who had grated
that the vaiiety is a chance Seeding.
originating about 1872 Its keeping
qualities attracted my attention some 25
years ago.
James River, or as it is frequently
termed, Timber Twig, is medium sized,
sometimes large, red and yellow striped
on very tough, thick skin. This varl-
ETY. does not get to its best condition
until January or February, but it is
mellow at picking time-September. A
good hanger generally. Tree a thrifty
grower.
These varieties are we'll suited to
| almost any soil in the county, all are
annual bearers. The first named is GER
tainly the best apple of its season for its
quality in, flesh hanging well against
storms, appearance of the fruit making
it attractive in the market and it's
productiveness, but it should be kept
until after Christmas for maturity.
When we fruit new variety. and il

idea, we regralt with York Imperial if a
