County Comptroller Kelley re-
turned without his approval to
the Levy Court this week the
bill Of James M. Jester for 81, ,257
for furnishing about rs, 600 bush
els Of oyster shells for the New
Castle Causeway. Mr.. Kelley
had two reasons for refusing to
approve this bill. First, there
was no evidence that the shells
had been delivered; second, the
amount was over $500 and there
was no contract. This latter OBJ
lection makes the bill an illegal
one and places Mr.. Jester in 8
serious position. While notques-
tioning the fact that the shells
were used, this seems to be q
case where some one should be
taught lesson. The law is just
as binding on the individual as
upon the Levy Court. To say
that they did not know it would
cost $500 is no excuse. 1t was
the duty of both Commissioners
Megginson and Mr.. Jester to
cease the work as soon as they
found the expense to be over
$500. tits undoubtedly the duty
of every man who does any work
or furnishes any material to
know that he is within the law.
It is no excuse for a man to say
he did not know what the law
was, as it has been printed in
the public press time and time
again. There is not a news
paper in the county but has in
the last year printed the law sew
eral times. 1t may fall heavy
and be a severe lesson, but
''bought wit is the best of wit"
and examples are needed to
point out the perils of disregard
ing the law.

THE BEEF TRUST

Attorney General Knox is en-
deavoring to enforce the law
against the Beef Trust. This
trust or rather combination
which has increased the cost
of meats until it has become a
very serious matter, differs from
the other trusts in that there
is no corporation to proceed
against. The price of meats has
been marked up by the joint
action o. several large firms act
ing on harmonious plan. The
real reason for the control ex-
ercised by this combination is
found in the discrimination
made by the railroads in the
freight rates in favor of the
large shippers. 1t is against
these railroads that the Attor-
ney-G General is proceeding un-
der the provision of the Inter
State Commerce Law. II he
can secure the punishment of
these corporations he can place
all meat growers and shippers
on the same terms.
Fortunately for Delawareans
the shad and herring season is
here and we can eat more fish
and less meat and thus even up
on expenses.

CURIOUS FLoRAL PUZzLEs.
Hydrangea That blooms Beautifully Blue
But Changes to rink.

Hydrangea That Blooms Beautifully Blue,
But Changes to rink.
Florida has a good many floral puZ-
zlcs as well as beauties. Sometimes
the colors OF even the most familiar
flowers are modified curiously by soil
or climate or both One of the most
familiar examples Is the case Of the or
binary splderwort, Tradescantia Nir-
ginica. Every Northern child who has
been blessed with the inestimable priv
ilege Of a country home and life has
gathered these grassy beauties, with
their feeting azure blossoms, and
watched them fold their deep blue pc
tails and dissolve into a drop Of liquid
ultramarine. In Florida is the same
plant with the same curious spider
webs spinning from its broken and
separated stalks, but its petals are
pink, aud the bright drop Of liquid blue
degenerates into a faded and ghostly
suggestion Of damp decay
Another more remarkable example
is the common hydrangea, Hydrangea
hortensis of the catalogues. Farther
north this is a familiar flower, with its
overgrown heads Of white or pale pink
ish fowerets. In Florida it is in its
glory, branching out into broad pyra-
mid, six or eight feet in diameter, and
completely covered with the most
splendid azure globes. The pale pink
gives place to a blue that rivals the sky
itself in depth and brightness. The
plant seems to have found new life and
dressed itself in new beauty for its
Southern home
A search for this blue hydrangea
in the catalogues is vain. No such
thing Is mentioned. White hydrangeas
there are, and pink, but no blue.
This magnificent blue hydrangea
came from a cutting taken from the or
binary pink variety and transplanted
from Georgia TO the establishment Of
its Florida owner it bloomed blue, and
all cuttings from it produced blue flow
ers in Southern Florida But the ex-
pertinent has been tried of taking cut
tings from this blue hydrangea" and
planting them in the North, when they
at once lapse into the old familiar
pinkish form of flower heads. Even
planted in a tub with sandy soil and
imperfectly fortified in this latitude,
the result is the same. The blue van
ishes and the pink returns.

Grape vines should be planted about
eight feet apart each way and about
ten inches deep cutting them back to
two or three buds above ground. A
crop OF potatoes or strawberries may
be grown between the rows the first
two years. An excellent plan Is to
allow two canes to grow the first year.
cutting back each year to three buds,
again allowing two canes TO grow.
When the vines are FIVE or six years
old from three to five canes may be
left. Always cut the old wood back
to about a foot of the ground if stocky
vines are required. 1t is the young
wood that bears fruit.

Protecting PLANTS For the winter.

Protecting Tlants For the winter.
The amateur gardener often finds It
difficult to decide as to the time when
winter protection should be given his
plants. Sometimes we have pleasant
weather until late in fall, and we put
off this work from day to day, thinking
they would be injured by covering
them while warm weather continued
All at once cold weather comes and
finds our plants wholly unprepared for
it, We at once set about doing the
work that ought to have been done be-
fore, but whatever is done under I'M
pleasant conditions is likely to be poor
ly done, and the result of our neglect
is quite apparent when spring comes.
We are entirely safe in counting on
cold weather by the first Of November
at the North, and l would advise get
ting plants ready for winter at that
time. It is so late in the season that
no harm will be done by it if the
weather continues mild. Choose a
pleasant day for this work, if possible.
and do it leisurely, that it may be we'll
done. 1t doesn't pay to hurry it, for
hurry means half-doing what you un,
dertake.-Eben e. Rexford, in Lippin.

The Philosophy of BENJAMIN Bibbs.

There's a lot of truth in the theory
that it's an i'll wind which blows no.
body good. I've noticed that you can
extract comfort from almost anything
if you look at it right There was my
friend Bobsley. When he lost his wife
he felt bad, Of course, but he was SEN
sible and tried to look on the bright
side. She may be happier where she
is now he said, for If we have the
correct idea as to the habits Of the an
gels she needn't worry over there be-
cause there isn't closet room enough
for her clothes. That always troubled
her heren So say we should always
look on the cheerful side of the picture
if there is one, and there generally is.
There's Hibbleson, for instance. He's
been laid up nearly all summer from
the effects Of an operation for appendi-
citis. He's forty pounds lighter than
he was six months ago Most men
would grumble over such luck as he's
had But l saw him the other day,
and he was looking as cheerful as
girl who's engaged to three fellows at
the same time. It's a mighty lucky
thing this trouble happened to me-" he
said. 1 was getting so stout that
couldn't get into my evening clothes
any more. Now they fit me very com
fortably, and Ill be able to get along
for another season without buying new
ones. ThatU be q clear saving Of
$50 That's the way to look at things.
The money he saves on clothes will
help to pay the doctors, who probably
need it for the support of their fam
lilies, and think of the rest he's had."-

Not 20 many years ago,
ON the tides that shofcward swept,
Merchant vessels. swift on slow,
To the harbor leapt or crcpti
From the fertile Indian isles
In hot southern seas they came,
Over oceans endless miles,
With red sunset fires ahame
Fuitcd cargocs here they brought,
Guava, ginger, fig or prune,
Rice, aud spice, and rare birds caught
In the sluggish tropic noon.
These old wharves re-echoed then
AN the sounds OF seaport trade,
Pulleys piled by strongarmed men,
Noisy anchors cast and weighed;
Crashing, carrying, cheering loud,
Wild discordant bawl and brawl,

symbols of the empty piers
Where our minds 80 buoyantly
Anchored in the childish year,.
Yet the barren tides that creep
Up the harbor night and morn,
Plunge and fash and laugh and leap
Round your bases, old and worn.
Nothing Of real sadness bear.
For our ships have found since then
Wider wharyes, In harbors where
They may come and come again;
Till Times petty traffic past.
All the bawl and brawl and strife,
We are satisfied at last
With the wealth of endless life.
