Fine Run Of Sturgeon Reported

There is run of sturgeon on again,
and the sturgeon season bids fair 10
recompense the fishermen who have
lost for several years past and to bring
them an income which will bring them
property. The run of sturgeon was
first reported at Wachaprague, Va,
from which point ninety-two fine,
mammoth sturgeon were recently
shipped. The fish are of extraordinary
size and are valuable for three fold
marketing. Their roe, or caivaire.
their meat and their oil all possess high
market value.

1t IS a great misfortune, says the
Milford Chronicle, that the law in
relation to the public roads, which
was passed at Dover last winter for
New Castle county, was not made
for the whole State. By that law a
competent civil engineer was placed
IN charge of all the roads in that
county, and all road supervisors
under the old system was wiped
away, and others appointed by the
levy conrtmen Of the districts TO
take their places; but they are in
no way amenable to the levy court.
and must do only such work, as is
laid down by the road engineer and
must have no power to change his
plans for building or repairing a
Foad. This plan insures intelligent
grading; and building of the roads.
and the waste Of thousands of dol
lars annually will be avoided, bv
reason Of a general plan for all
work being made out before hand
The law is good one, and Kent
and Sussex will have to adopt it
sooner or later.

SHORT CROP OF STRAWBERRIES.

CHEswoLD, June 4:-The rain of Sat
urday and Sunday following as it did
the succession of rains accompanied
with chilling weather is threatening a
partial failure of most all crops which
our farmers are working and worrying
to produce. The cold, wAter-soaked
earth, the springs in low lands being
up to the surface, presents TO the tiIler
of the soil future any thing butgIow-
ing. Backened by the conditions above
stated strawberries are only beginning
70 ripen, and June B, 1907 finds only 81
crates have reached our Shining
market. The demand is however good
and prices range from S3 to So per 32
quart crate. With normal weather
conditions the berry season would be
past its heaviest shipments. Growers
say the fruit is stunted which means
very short crop.

SOFT SHELL CRABS BECOMING PLENTIFUL
Large Shipments Made From the Delaware

Large shipments of soft shell crabs
one of the greatest delicacies the pen
insula shores produce, are being made
over all the railroad lines. On Thurs
day. in the wholesale markets, these
crabs brought from 10 to As cents per
dozen. Heretofore the shipments have
been coming from the Eastern shore Of
Maryland and Virginia, but the Della
ware crab shores, from Ocean View up.

supply. The crabs, like every other
marketable commodity for the table,
nave been held back by the continued
cold weather, but have suddenly come
on and are now'being disposed of at
p'ice within the reach of every average
'liver." Hard crabs are also being
shipped in greater abundance aud are
commanding $3.50 per barrel. Thev
are all the same species of crabs after
all, but the soft shell crab is different

HINDO0 HEAVENS.
Four Degrees of Bliss to Which the De.
parted Spirits Pass.

The HindOOs believe in four special
abodes of the righteous after death
The first is called Saratoga, Gods
world" the second, Sameeba, "Near to
Cod" the third. Sarobam, Goods i'm
age" and the fourth, Sayutcheyam,
which signifies ito be absorbed in him -
To Saratoga, the first degree of bliss,
go the souls of all of those who have
ever made pilgrimage to a holy place
or who have paid for the temple lights
for one month. In Saratoga there is
great happiness and no work or sick
ness. The inmate is allowed to read
the five sacred books, drink ambrosia
and hear the hOuris sing.
To Sameeba go the spirits Of all
Keerikarar, or workers in the Brahman
cause; also those who foregO the COM
forts of life, such as sleeping in a re-
cumbent position, eating sufficiently,
etc: Their happiness consists chiefly Of
continually praising God.
To SarObam, the third heaven, go the
souls of such as never spoil Gods mod
ell by shaving or pairing the nails. These
are the Brahman YOgis. They wander
about the earth, always going from left
to right. They eat nothing but nau-
seous food and live in a constant state
Of abstraction ON divine subjects.
The fourth heaven, Sayutcheyam, is
the coming abode of the ''nyane," or
philosophers. These nyane pay no at
tention to heat or cold, never bathe and
often so for weeks without food. If
they are sick, no one knows it but
themselves. They are the stoics of the
world of today and believe that in
Sayutcheyam they will eventually be
absorbed in the deity.

The Presbyterians after being
many months without a pastor
have called the Rev. Arthur Rich
ards, of Camden, N. j., and have
received his acceptance. Rev.
Richards seems to be man well
qualified for his work and has made
a good impression with not only
the Presbyterians, but all who have
heard him. We congratulate the
church and the pastor, and hope
their work in this community may
be blessed with successful results.

AT the annual school election
held last Saturday afternoon, the
voters of Smyrna decided to make
the compulsory education law
apply TO Smyrna FIVE months in
the year. This was a most COM
mendable move. With the splen-
did advantages offered by our free
public school system there is no
reason why every boy and girl
should not receive an education
and any parent who neglects his or
her duty to their children is COM
uniting an objectionable crime.
We regret to say that there are
families in this school district who
do not send their children to school
and 1t Is for such people that the
compulsory education bill was
passed by our Legislature. The
law now in force gives the voters
OF any school district the right to
say whether compulsory education
shall be for three, four or FIVE
months IN a year. In isolated
country districts the minimum NAV
be ample for the means at hand.
but in incorporated school districts
such as Smyrna and other towns,
the full limit Of Eve months should
be accepted. This is little enough
tor any school boy or school girl.
1t isto be hoped that our Board of
Education when they take up the
subject, will make through and
systematic canvas and enforce the
law to its fullest extent. Parents
who wont take advantage of our
free and liberal institutions for their
children, ought to be made to.
