Pretty girls are delightful to look
at, says al exchange, and very nice
to know, but there are "a great many
people i'll this practical work-a-day-
world OF ours who have tender spots
in their hearts for plainergirls. While
they may and probably do admire
prettiness, they long ago learned
that there are many pretty girls who
place all their ideas Of present success
and future hopes on their good looks,
and overlook the fact that there are
much more substantial things in the
world than beauty, in the way OF
gentleness, refinement. and sweet
dispositions. It is a misfortune 10
be pretty if one depends soley upon
that fact for ones currency in society
and ones material prosperity.

This Puzzle is going the rounds:
"A certain farmer and his wife owned
a plg and they wanted to weigh it.
The man weighed 135 and the WON
an 100 POUNDS. They put Il board
across the fence SO that when they
sat down upon the ends it exactly
balanced. Then they exchanged
places, his wife taking the pig in her
lap, just balancing the board again.
What was the weight OF the ho1?"

1t is said the custom OF loading
farm wagons SO that the heaviest
weight is upon the front wheels is all
wrong and adds materially to the
draft. The heaviest weight should
be carried by the rear wheels. This
is said to be proven by otficiaitest.

sAruRpAY. FEnRuARY Q. Is01
IN is SENATOR KENNEY.

Once more Delaware has her full rep
rosentation in Congress The seat in
the Senate rendered vacant by the ex-
piring Of the term of Hon. Anthony
Higgins and kept vacant for two years
by the rule or ruin tactics Of J. Edward
Addicks, is now filled by a man who is
a sterling Democrat.
We congratulate Senator Kenney on
his good fortune in securing his seat
without being subjected to a long and
wearisome struggle against the pre-
tensions of Colonel Henry A. Dupont
and J. Edward Addicks.
We commend the United States SEN
ate for its fairness in refusing to re-
open the DUPONT case and for It's hon
esty in utterly ignoring the silly claims
OF the gas man.
The Republican party of Delaware
has nobody but itself to blame for its
discontinue It was its eagerness to
accept the aid of a monied man and
disruptionist, which led to it's disrup.
tion and ruin. It is now hopelessly di.
vided. One faction Is composed OF mef
who refuse to be bought. and the Other
faction IS made up largely of vena
voters who will vote for the man who
pays them the highest price.
With the Democrats it is different
They are united and working in har
mony to eliminate from our politics +;
gigantic system of vote-buying anC
corruption. They have demonstrated {,
the people of our state that they arr
fully capable of transacting the public
business without fear or favor, and W,
have no doubt that Senator Kenney an,
Senator Gray, although at variance OF
the financial question. will stand shoul

Delaware interests.

cITY COuNCIL,s DuTY.

The announcement made by Senator
Pyle that he will not recommend the
passage Of any chemical engine appro-
priation bill that does not carry with
1t the endorsement Of City Council will
commend itself to the taxpayers of this
community. Several OF the local fire
companies wish such measures pass
ed, and it stands to reason that the
present condition of the city treasury
will not justify more than one or two
such appropriations. no matter how de-
sirable it may be to have such auxil-
iaries to the company equipment. This
being true, it is the duty of City Coun-
ell to look over the field
carefully and decide just where
such chemical engines will do
the most public good. Having reached
a determination the information should
be Immediately impaired to Senator
Pyle, who will undoubtedly be guided
by City Councils suggestions.
The bill drafted in the interest Of the
Weccacoe Steam Fire Engine Company
has already received such approval We
think the selection wise one, Tor tnal
company is stationed in the southwest
ern section of our city, which is well
built up and in especial need Of protec-
tion. If another bill is to be endorsed
the same intelligence and discretion
should be exercised in making the Sc
lection.
Everybody recognizes the valuable
services of our volunteer firemen. They
are as self-sacrihcing as they are brave
No one begrudges them anything whicl
adds to the sufficiency OF their equip
ment and to the efficiency OF thei
work. But there is a bottom to the cit.
treasury, and our city fathers are. 70
reasons both economic and polite
averse to making appropriations entail
ing an increased tax rate. Consequently
all requests cannot be granted, and tn
only sensible thing to do is to max
the money go as far as it will and il
the proper channels to serve the hes
public ends.

The Popular aesthetics of Color.

While blue is pre-eminently and over
wholmingly the masculine favorite, it
is by no means so general a feminine
favoritc The favorite woman's color,
standing at the head of the female list,
is red. Roughly speaking, of every 30
masculine votes 10 would be for blue
and 3 for red, while of every 30 femi-
nine votes 4 would be for blue and for
red Red and blue are Thus much more
nearly equally popular among women
than among men. Other relatively
marked masc llinc preferences arc for
the colors related TO blue (blue violet
and violet, and other feminine prefer
cnces are for lighter red (or pink and, to
a less extent, for green and yellow.
Further, men confine their selections to
relatively fewer colors than do women,
and, finally, while all men and women
alike are much more apt to choose a
normal than q transitional color and a
darker than lighter shade, yet the tend
ency to do so (about the same in the
former direction) is markedly different
in the latterrospect. OF II men 10 would
choose among the darker colors and only
2 among the lighter for the most pleas
ing color, while Of ~ women would
choose among the darker and 3 among
the lighter shades. Professor Jastrow
