CONSTABLES' RETURNS.

In a few weeks the constables of
this county will be making their re-
turns to court in conformity with
law. 1t is notorious that great
many of these returns are made in
a perfunctory manner and that the
returns do not serve the purpose
which the law intended of informing
the court in detail as to the condi-
tions existing in the various districts
of the county. Yet every constable
gets a fee, and good one, for
making return; it ought to be
truthful and exact as the law intends,
and every blank is so prepared that
no detail specified by the law can
be forgotten or omitted.
One of the leading questions on
the return blank is in regard to
whether index boards are all up at
the intersection of public roads.
There are many points where index
boards are needed and the traveller
finds none.
Another question relative to the
condition of roads and bridges is too
often ignored. SIN fact there is no
conscientious care exercised in an
swering most of the questions pro-
pounded to the constables. The re-
turn sheet is no joke, and if the
Court or the District Attorney should
bring them up with short turn it
might be embarrassing should it de-
velop that there had been wilful mis-
representation of the facts under
oath.
The instructions by the, Court
printed on the return-sheet are very
plain; to make false return is per-
jury. The return is important and
for serious and careful considera-
ton.

Get Out in the Sunlight.

The season of sunlight is with us again,

ponent of outdoor exercise, appropriate
ly suggests that it behooves all to go
out and enjoy the sunshine and breathe
the pure country air. Letus cut out too
much meat, medicine and melancholy,
and breathe deeper and eat vegetables

odor of trees and flowers and gladden.
our ears with the songs of birds. All
the organs of the human body need
change of environment more than they
need rest; for change is rest and recrea-
ton combined.
The human body requires seasons of
excitement to increase circulation and
cause deeper and fuller breathing. Dr.
IngersoIl, of Colorado town, once re-
marked that it was worth $40 to every
citizen of country town to have cir
Gus visit the place, with its cheerful
bands of music and gilded cages of ami
mails and steam caliope. 1t broke the
monotony and gave the mind fresh food

AND now the American goosebone
weather prophet is to have a rival. Part
of the cargo brought to New York by a
steamer the other day was a consign-
ment of 400 tree-frogs. These little ami
mails are not of the edible variety. Their
value at home, and especially to the
German peasant, consists in their ability
as weather indicators. German scient-
lists reject the theory of frog forecasting,
Just as American students Of meteor
ology and government officials turn down
the goosebone, the grounding, the fell
lows who make long distance predic-
tions and others classed generally as
fakes by men who claim to be guided
wholly by scientific data, and thus to be
of light and leading in this specially.
But many of the plain people in Ger
many have full confidence in the croak-
ing of tree-frogs as a sure warning of
the approach of bad weather, while
silence on the part of the little reptiles
means unclouded skies and freedom
from storm. And as there are in the
United States many worthy persons of
German nativity or descent, the small
frogs prove to be ready sellers. Amer
lea has quite musical brand of tree
frogs. But whether they are. weather
prophets is another question.

MosT tourists in starting for Europe
have their minds filled with the splendid
sights in store for them while visiting
the cities and scenes of historical inter-
est in the old country, but quite large
percentage of travellers go abroad for
the benefit of their health, and for such
the ocean voyage is expected to have a
decided salutary effect. The longer the
trip, therefore, the more time spent on
the water, and consequently the greater
benefit to the health-seeker. In the days
of sailing passenger ships, one had
plenty of time to enjoy the salt sea
breezes and inhale the life giving ozone,
but nowadays ocean travelling, at some
thing resembling express train speed, is
not regarded as the ideal thing by those
who go to sea for the sake of the voyage
itself. You hardly get settled in your
stateroom and acquainted with your
neighbor at the dining table, or on
speaking terms with the man whose
steamer chair is next to yours on the

BY a liberal estimate there are
fifteen millionaires in the United
States Senate. If the exact truth
these men were known, it is likely
that several of them would be
dropped from this list of modern
Midases. It's not an easy thing to
ascertain correctly the worldly pos
sessions of people, these days.
However, the following senators are
generally looked upon in Washing

them multi-millionaires: Nelson B.

Very few Honesdalers, having any
time to spare in New York City,
fail to visit the Aquarium at Castle
Garden, yet not many, while in
specting the wonderful collection Of
fishes, appreciate the fact that the
building itself has a history render
ing it well worthy of a visit on it's
own account. 1t was built by the
United States Government in 1907
from plans drawn by Lieutenant
Colonel Jonathan Williams, and was
called Fort Clinton. In 1922 it was
ceded to the City OF New York and
in 1924 became a place of amuse-
ment, getting it's present name in
1926, or thereabouts. In 1S45
Ethiopian minstrels were there and
in 1916 to 1S49 theatrical compan-
les played there. Jenny Lind sang
there in 1850. 1t was closed as a
place of amusement in 1855 and the
commissioners of immigration took
it as an immigration depot. In 1870
it was partly burned and on July 8,
1876, it was entirely destroyed by
fire. 1t was at once rebuilt and in
1892 when the depot was removed
to Ellis Island, the building, re-
verted to the city and in 1895 the
Aquarium was opened there.

IN its weekly review of the coal trade,
the Coal Trade Journal New York
city, speaks hopefully of the anthracite
business. We quote as follows: "The
anthracite trade is very quiet, in view of
the heavy sales effected in March and
April, but there will probably be a re-
vival next week, following effort by
buyers to take advantage of the discount
of 10 cents ton. While dullness has
prevailed for something like three weeks,
following the settlement OF the labor
controversy, there has been rather more
trade activity than was expected, and
we think that right through the season,
excepting, perhaps, for short time i'll
midsummer, there will be more tonnage
lowed for. Certainly we would not have
the reports of full time, or even of four
or five days activity, if the managers of
the large companies really believed that
long period of dullness faced the trade.
As we have often said before, the de-
mand for hard coal is such a positive
and constant one that large tonnage
can be counted upon every week and
every month, almost regardless of chang
ing conditions of general business. With
several vexed questions disposed of and
steady market assured, this branch of
the industry can run along in the most
comfortable manner, for a long while to
come.
