Its perfume is shed on the summer air.
But bravely il stands. till again the breeze,
Takes a soft white petal, and, one by one,
They silently fall to the ground below,
And. alas the beautiful flower is gone
But ever the world shall sweeter be
For the that blossomed SO pure and fair
And never forgotten or lost shall be

FERNS A SOURCE OF PROFIT IN
VERMONT.

As has been mentioned in the news
columns of The News, the business of
picking ferns and shipping them to the
large cities is now in full swing in some
sections of Vermont. Stamford is the
center of the industry at present, not
because there are more ferns there than
in other sections but because the posi-
bilities of the business have been
recognized there by those in a position
to improve the opportunity to coin
honest dollars by sending to the cities
something valued by their people, and
which here is practically as free as the
air.
There is a great deal of beauty in
the different varieties of ferns that
grow in this part of the country, but
they are so common here that this is
overlooked by the majority of people
living where they grow so uxuriantly.
Wherever one goes, through the pas
lures or through the woods, there are
ferns, and ferns. The farmers call
them brakes, - and so far as the growth
invades their pastures they would be
glad to get rid of it, but this is a good
deal easier said than done. The fern
is hardy plant, and once it takes root
in pasture or grove it is there to stay.
People living in such a region as this
can have no conception Of the appeal
which the fern makes to the people of
the cities. To them it brings something
of the freshness of the country, and the
persistency with which it remains green
and fresh makes it valuable as winter
decoration. 1t is the companion of the
Christmas tree, bringing the beauty of
the open country to thousands who
seldom or never see it at first hand
and lending such cheer to the winter
season as only such things can pro-
duce.
And one of the beauties of the fern
business is that it is one which affords
pleasure and profit without loss at any
point. The shipping of Christmas trees
to the cities is regretted by some who
feel that is wrong, if not absolutely
ruthless, to cut from the hills the
young growth of spruce and hemlock
but there is no room for any feeling of
that sort in connection with the fern
business. The fern is crop that never
fails. 1t comes year after year with
the regularity of the seasons, and it is
fortunate that such good use for it has
been found. The harvest of the beau
tiful plant makes profitable work for
the men, women, boys and girls of the
country districts, and in the cities it
carries the freshness of the hills to
thousands who are for the most part
strangers to the charms of the open
country.
Consequently the fern business is a
good thing without single drawback
1t means profit at one end of the line
and pleasure at the other, with no de-
pletion of the resources of the regions
whence comes growth once considered
utterly worthless, but for which gooc
use has at last been found Success tc
the pickers and Joy to those whose
Christmas holidays the beautiful greens
will help to brighten Rutland News.

TIE COST OF LIVING.

From The MiddletOwn Transcript.
Can the parcel post be utilized TO
reduce the cost OF liv.ng2 This is
the problem which the Department of
Agricultural is now wOi king on. To
bring the producer and consumer
into direct relations would cut out
good charges and commissions which
so far as they are unnecessary are
an industrial waste.
II the farmer IS willing TO sell his
produce to the reople in the city for
one-half what they sell for in the city
markets the city consumer viii be
glad 70 deal directly with the farmer.
# il Is feasible The Department of
Agriculture thinks it is feasible. and
that the parcel post IS the requisite
Intermediary. It's charges being very
much less than the difference between
the farmers price and the usual re-
tail charge for the same farm pro-
ducts. Il cannot, however. be brought
about ar once. The farmer must
find his customers and learn 10 pack
his products for safe parcel post
shipment and TO standardize his
supply and assume some Of the labOva
now performed by the middlemen.
Some further modification Of the
parcel post rules may also be neces-
sary. The experts Of the Agricultural
Department arc working on the pro-
blem, and II is hoped they viii be
able TO work out solution that will
be profitable alike 10 the government

sumer, that unfortunate person who
has thus far not been helped by any

DR. TWITMYERs MISFORTUNE.

THE news that DR.. George W. rwtmyer superin-
tendent Of the public schools in this CITY, has
suffered tho loss Of foot by amputation in conse-
ouence Of an attack OF gangrene which followed a
slight injury has caused a wave OF regret and SYM
pathy 20 sweep community. It's force has been
accentuated by the that few Of bis thousands Of
friends and admirers knew that the aiment from
which he suffered was Of such a serious nature.
Before Dr. Twitmyer came TO Wilmington about
fourteen years ago 70 take executive charge of our
schools he had established for himself an enviable
reputation as an educator in Honesdae Pa, aud South
Bethlehem. Pa. having served superintendent in
both Of tose places Ills work here has been produc-
tive Of good results doubt would have been Of
far greater value n he had had at command the
money needed to out ali the Improvement plans
he had In mind.
We feel perfectly safe in saying that we voice the
sentiment OF every one in Wilmington and that OF ell
others who know Dr. Twitmyer when express re-
gret that such misfortune has beialen him and hope
that he soon win recover fully from the operation he
has undergone and be able to his official work

PILeRMAcEs TO wAsHNGTON.

THOUSANDS OF DelaWareans have never Wash

There is excuse IN these days for Delawarean

The letter tells its own story and
needs no comment. The stern fact here
must he faced. The Alumni Association
has taken mp this endowment fund and
while the results are gratifying. the
amount raised 80 far is not sufficient
for the object in view Many VINO are
not thoroughly familiar with the finances
of the institution fail to appreciate the
position in which the authorities are
placed. They say. with all these in.
creases in appropriations. WHY is this
demand made ON the pnblicl As the
chancellor states in his letter, there is
no money available for the salary Of
the president.

that short-termers because they IN the nst-

not valuable to the prison contractors as are the

pointed out that the high prices paid for the use
Of convcts in other States is due largely to the
