GLENDALE

Now that the rains have cooled the
atmosphere. after the hot weather Of last
week we find the farmers rushing their
work of cultivating corn and tomatoes,
which art growing splendidly now. Wheat
threshing IS with US again ana the yield
/ seems very unsatisfactory.
/ About eight clock on Wednesday even
ing of last week, during the severe cleo
trio storm, great blaze sprang up in the
eastern sky and il was apparent that big
fire was near. 1t proved to be Charlie
Wilson barn. Mr.. Wilson came here
from New Castle County about two years
ago and bought the Kinder farm about
two miles east of town, and erected nice
home and big barn which was full of fine
hay and crop of oats in the straw had
Just been housed. II was fortunate that
it was no later in the evening as the
neighbors gathered TO help save the i'm
plements and when the FIRE spread to
the stables they were enabled to save
the fine stock. This is hard on this Young
farmer and we know, from recent expert
ence, how to sympathize with this unfor
tunate friend
We learn that another farmer farther
down the neck lost his horse and COW by
lightning, although there was no FIRE.
The glorious Fourth was celebrated by
Ellendale's citizens in a quiet and sane
manner, no boisterous foolishness, with
the exception of one of our young farm
ers who had celebrated too freely the
Fourth at Rehoboth and when he landed
in Ellendale proceeded TO paint the town
red. +"
Our two old veterans, Mr.. Clendaniel
and Mr. Milman, who went to Gettysburg,

entertain their friends are very interesting

The Ladies Social has sprung into new
life and vigor after a season of slumber,
and last Wednesday they were entertained
at the home of Mrs. Pullen, where they
were rovally treated in good country style.
The talented president, Mrs. Helm, as
usual occupied the chief position with her
head in bandages after the experience of
/ falling down stairs. She relates some
experiences which we will take the liberty
to repeat. While quite young she dis
| located her spine and has been a life suf
| ferer from il. She has exhausted a fortune
and spent sixteen thousand Of her hus-
bands dollars in trip to Germany and
/ in Paris sanitariums. as well as many
years of time in treatment, and all to no
avail But when she fell down stairs a
I few weeks ago, lifting her scalp and
bruising her body, that lame spine was
knocked into place again and with all her
wounds she is enjoying well back from
which she has spent a life of suffering
A very cheap remedy and we congratulate
this worthy lady on her good fortune.
David Warren, with his pretty sweet
heart from Mount Holly, n. J., spent
the Fourth with his parents here.
A card party at the home of w. ).
Dickerson in honor Of Miss Mary was
feature of the occasion. Miss Mccormick,
of Toronto, Canada, and the Adams OF
Oakley were honored guests. Miss Mary

 PUZZLE OF MANY AGESG G{sSyl&p}

Iuary at the end. In 542 B. c. Feb ruary was given its present place. At that time the months had twenty-nine and thirty days alternately, SO that the year had 345 days; to make this more fortunate under the old super. stition that Tuck lies in odd num- bers." one day was added. The moon makes a revolution in about twenty zine and one-half days and twelve lu. nations form period of 354 days. Tc get the civil calendar even with the solar year Numa ordered an addition al month to be inserted every second year between the 23rd and 24th o February, consisting of twenty-five and twenty-three days alternately Thus four years contained 1,465 days and the mean length of the year was 366A days. This was one day toe much. From an effort to adjust mat ters more confusion resulted
 Politicians of that day were no less prone to manipulate affairs to theil own advantage than they are today Every third period of eight years was to contain only three intercalary months instead of four This would reduce the mean length of the year to 365H days, but the care of the calen. dar was left with certain officials with discretion to intercalate more or few. CT days. To prolong the terms of of. flee or to hasten elections the ques. tion of the calendar was ignored. When Julius Caesar came into power he found the civil equinox differed from the astronomical by three months. Winter months had been car. ried back into autumn and autumn Into summer.
 Sosigenes, an old mathematician who was more familiar with the stars than any man of his time, came to Caesars rescue and devised a plan to put an end to the disorder The civil year was regulated entirely by the sun and was fixed at 365A days, the quarter day being added to each fourth year as we have it now. The original plan was to have thirty-one days each for the first, third, fifth, seventh, ninth and eleventh months and the other months thirty, except February, which was to have twenty,
