OVER $4,000 is DUE the State of Delaware from
income taxes according to the report of the State Treas
urer The arrearages cover period of four This
sum is considerable and the State needs every cent to
which it is due the present time 1t is said that the
amounts due the State small ones ranging
from $40 to $50 per axabe but these small items IN the
aggregate make large total Attorney General Io"n
send after due notice that should proceed to collect the
taxes levied and not paid announced that soon as
the lists to him by the State Treasurer ne
will institute legal proceedings to collect same 1t is
shame that the State authorities have been compelled to
bring suit against persons who under the law rlghttuy
owe the State Delaware these small sums Those VINO
have failed to settle the accounts laid themselves
liable to the law are foosh but they deserve no pity and
should be dealt accordance with the laws under
which the taxes levied 1t is not fair that those
who have abded by the statutes of the State should pay
while those who faunt the laws go free Collect the
$4,000.

An old cavalry officer says that one

acter of horse from its color. Bright
chestnuts and light bays are high
spirited, but nervous and delicate.
Dark chestnuts and glossy blacks are
hardy and more tempered. Rich bays
have great spirit, but are teachable
Dark and iron grays are hardy and
sound, while light grays are the op-
posite.
Roans, either strawberry or blue.

EBONY BURNED AS FIREWOOD
Mahogany Also Employed for Floors in
Burma, According to Statement
of Missionary.

The people of Burma burn ebony as
t1rewood and use mahogany for floors,
but the dance music is abOminable. ac-
cording to Rev. John Tilden Latta, re-
turned missionary.
The chief function of music and the
weird dances in the land of the golden
peacock IS TO drive away the evil spir-
its, and 1t is essential to Burmese
ideas of harmony" to have each in
strument toned in a different key But
1t would be great place for the chill
dren.
Parrots can be bought for a nickel
and monkeys for a quarter.
No word in the language has more
than one syllable. There are no de-
clensions or cOnjugations. The Bur
meSe are short on words and hence
every word is pronounced in three
tones having a different meaning in
each. The average wage is 10 cents a
day. There are no violent deaths. the
plague and malaria being the only
ScourgeS. The native doctors prescribe
on a principle Of opposites. If a man
has rheumatism they feed him pow
dered deer's bones, and the remedy for
sour stomach is sugar.

STAMP GUM FROM PUrAToES
That Vegetable the Foundation Of
Sticky Substance That is Used
on Postage Stamps.

Every time a person ticks a United
States postage stamp he gets taste
Of a sweet potato. The gum on the
stamps comes from that vegetable. All
of the gum used on the stamps is
mixed at the bureau of engraving and
printing, where the stamps are made.
II is spread on the sheets after the
stamps have been printed.
in liquid form. the gum is forced
up through pipes from the basement,
where it is made. These pipes lead
to a series of machines consisting of
rollers between which the sheets
stamps are fed one at a time. A fine
spray of the liquid falls upon the roll
ers. The sheet with its wet coating
Of sweet potato mucilage passes from
the rollers into long horizontal fue
filled with hot air When it comes
out at the other end of the flue the
gum is dry
There are two kinds of postage
mucilage. If one could see the pack
ages Of stamps as they come to the
postOfiice ready to be sold, one would
find them labeled, according to season,
summer gum" or winter gum" The
former is much the harder of the two,
and was devised to keep the stamps
from getting sticky in warm, moist
weather.

Dom Joao,s Botanical Gardens.

Dom Joao's botanical garden in Rio,
capital of Brazil, is today the finest
in the New World and equaIed only
by that of Buitenzorg, Java. SAYS Har-
riett {. Adams, in the National Geo
graphic Magazine. Its century-old i'm
ported bambOoS are as tall as forest
trees; its native Victoria Regia lilies
most queenly of their kind. Its ROYAL
Palm avenue, almost 1,S00 feet long.
Is second only to Rios Quadruple Palm
avenue bordering the Mangue canal
In the early days these palms were
mark of the royal distinction and
were planted only in parks and ave-
nues near city and county palaces.
The story goes that a slave stole some
of the seeds and sold them. Today
these "feather-dusters of the gods"
wave in every part of the city. At
present there is free distribution Of
seeds and plants from the botanical
garden.

MANY APPLICATIONS
FOR TEACHING JOBS

Dean A. A. Cleveland, chairman of
the appointments committee, is
swamped with correspondence work
as evidenced by a fair-sized stack of
accumulated materials of the nature
of applications, recommendation
calls for special teachers, and in
quiries.
The appointments committee is
having a real difficulty in finding
candidates who are able to teach the
various combinations of subjects.
Students preparing themselves for
prospective teachers will do we'll by
informing themselves of these par
ticular combinations with the view
of arranging their schedule in col
lege in such a way as to overcome
this difficulty.
Several calls have come to the
committee for men to fill positions
as small principalship These cannot
be filled because of the lack of men
who have had sufficient experience.

revive your faith and fortitude a
teeny-weeny bit if you recall the story
of the two frogs that fell into the can
of milk. Try as they would, you may
remember, the frogs could not leap
out of the can, but fell back into the
milk each time they jumped. Finally,
one frog Whined: whats the use of
trying, we can never get out" So he
curled up and was drowned. But the
other frog, possessed of more determi-
nation and perseverance,, kept on
struggling and struggling until 10! the
milk began to be churned into butter,
and then it was easy for him to get
out of the difficulty.

MAY FETE ON MAY %;
THE DREAM GATE

The May Fete will be held May 2S

HAVE THEIR TIME TO FALL
Nature Has Made Provision for the
Parting of the Leaves From
the Parent Tree.

One of the most beautifuI processes
in nature is the fall of the leaf This
is not, as is commonly supposed,
brought about by the inclement wealth
err of the autumn, says a well-known
authority For the underlying cause
one must look deeper.
Soon after the leaf appeared in the
spring preparations We're being made
for its fall. Across the base of the
stalk there grew inward a partition
of special cells. known to bontanists
as the layer of separation" AS the
season advances these cells become
modified and weakened so that a
springy cushion is formed. Eventual
ly the mere weight of the leaf may
be sufficient to bring about the sever
ance of the organ which the tree no
longer requires.
Before the leaf actually falls 1t
surrenders all that it possesses in the
way of sugar and more complex stuffs.
This passes back into the tree to be
stored away in the stems.

The moon is an example of star ma
