One of the reasons why abuses and
excesses in public life flourish un-
checked in this country is that the
American people are not 'fussy" and
do not worry over trifes. Take such
an instance as the hotel bill of over
81, sent in to the Long Island City
Supervisors for the expenses of the
Thorn jury-One-third of it for wine
and cigars. Such an incident in Eng
land would drive thousands of British
ers to write letters to the Times, and
in France would lead to an "interpel-
latiOn" in the chambers, vote of con-
fidence and two duels. In this country
nobody gets excited over it, on the
principle that it is not worth while in
dulging in a ten-dollar worry over a
ten-cent damage. We may be not
wholly wrong.

THE CURCULIO.
The Earring Remedy.

The following has reached us from
the Experimental Station at Newark:
A heavy tribute is levied annually
on the peach crop of Delaware by the
curculio. The adult beetle laws the
eggs in the small fruits Just after the
blossoms fall. In few DAYS the eggs
hatch and the little grub bores into
the fruit. The peaches that are at
tackled when very small, usually fall
and comprise large proportion of the
"June Drop, while the fruits attacked
when half or more grown, adhere to
the trees as wOrmy and gumy fruits.
Whenever the crop of peaches is light,
as it will be in parts of the Delaware
Peninsula this year, it is of great eco
nomic Importance to the fruit grower
to prevent the loss from the curculio,
which often amounts to more than fifty
per cent of the total netting. If the
peaches that form on the trees in
southern Delaware this spring are saved
from the curculio, there will still re-
main a good crop in most sections of
the State.
The only practical means of destroy
ing the curcOlio this spring is to jar
them from the trees upon a canvas and
kill them after they have fallen. The
canvas can be stretched over light
frame, leaving a slit in one side to
allow the tree to stand in the middle.
The tree is then Jared by quick blow
from a padded mallet, either on the
trunk or main branches of the tree,
and the curculio are then swept from
the canvas and destroyed. 1t is best
to jar early in the morning as the bee
tie are then sluggish and fall readily.
The jarring should be continued every
day or two over period of three weeks,
or until no more curculio are taken.
In some seasons the injury does not
last more than two weeks. The i'm
portant points to observe are, 1st, jar
as soon as the blossoms have fallen,
End, destroy the curculiO that fall, Sd,
continue the jarring till the beetles
disappear.
The curculio can be absolutely con-
trOlled by the jarring method, which
is usual practice among the plum
growers, and many peach Orchardists,
in Western New York. In New York,
however, the canvas is in the form of
an inverted umbrella, which is wheeled
from tree to tree on wheelbarrow-
like frame. A cut of a curculio ma
chine is shown in Bulletin XXXV of
the Delaware Experiment Station.
The cost of jarring an orchard de-
pends entirely upon circumstances,
but it should not cost under two cents
per tree or twelve cents for the entire
seasons jarring.

The Eastern Shore Trade.

The people of the cities no longer
look upon us Eastern Shoremen as
some kind of green thing to be fed to
the car horses. On the contrary, they
are very solicitous of our welfare.
When we go to town they take us by
the hand, and inquire after the folks
at home, and show us the city sights;
and all this not a bit patronizingly
And for why? Because they see in us
a source of profit, and they are after
our dollars.
It is apparent that the business men
of the cities close by have awakened to
the fact that the Eastern Shore trade
is worth having, and they have begun
to reach out after it. The average
Eastern Shoreman is not millionaire,
nor is he lavish with his cash; but he
does buy what he needs and enjoys
many luxuries, and he generally pays
as he goes. He is cash customer, and
when he sees what he wants and the
price suits him, he usually gets it.
The little city of Wilmington in
augurated campaign for this Eastern
Shore trade by running special cheap
excursions offering many inducements
in the way of entertainment and busi-
ness bargains and last week special ex-
cursions, arranged by the retail mer-
chants of Baltimore, were run from
Talbot and other Eastern Shore coun-
ties to Baltimore, and a great crowd
went to that city and spent lot of
money.
Now the question arises, what are
our own business men going to do to
keep this Eastern Shore trade at home?
They must give their people as great
inducements as the city merchant does;
and they must let that fact be known
! to them.
In word, they must do as the city
merchants and the projectors of these
city excursions are doing-advertise
their inducements in the papers that
reach the people whose trade they are
after. Easton Ledger.

SONG OF THE ROBIN.

Upon twig in yonder tree
l hear the robin singing;
His rich and happy melody
Through all the woods is ringing:
"Cheer up! cheer up! all things clear
up!
We are merry, CHEEKY! cheeryv'
The sun has slowly sunk to rest,
The shades of night are falling;
And from his bough beside his nest
The robin still is calling:
"Cheer up! cheer up! all things clear
up!
We are merry, CHEEKY! cheery!"
Now one by one the stars appear,
The evening winds are signing;
And Robins song of hope and cheer
Is softly, gently dying:
"Cheer up! cheer up! all things clear
up!
We are merry, cheeryl cheeryI"
The deepest shades of night have come,
And Robins song is ended;
But in my heart, with doubt and gloom
His hope and cheer have blended.
"Cheer up! cheer upl all things clear
up!
We are merry, CHEEKY! cheery!
