Proceedings Against Beetles.

The Memories de la SOciete Royal
Academique de SavOle" give a curious
accounts of proceedings taken against
beetles In 1445 and 1887. They had
committed great ravages in the St.
Julian vineyards. Having listened to
counsel on either side, the judge sug-
gested that the vinegrowers should
cede to the defendants land where
they could live without trespassing on
the vineyards; otherwise he ordered
that the vineyards should be respected
by the beetles under certain penalties.
The beetles lawyer protested that the
land was barren, and the Ncourt. ap-
pointed assessors to survey 1t. They
reported favorably, but the beetles
raised legal quibble and so it went
on, but what the upshOt was is not
known owing to the destruction of the
document.

MUST LET THE WORLD KNOW
Too Many Expect Others to ae Con-
versant With Their Secret Hopes
and Aspirations.

The rareSt person in the world is the
one who knows what he really wants.
And if you don't know yourself. how
can you expect others to know?
Two young people went off and got
married in the most casual, Bohemian
fashion, informing nobody.
And their friends asked them around
to dinner now and then, accepting the
marriage in equally casual fashion,
only to find out, years later, that they
were deeply hurt not to have had the
usual formal bride-and-groOm dinners
given for them.
But how could anyone have known
that?
If independence, freedom and an ad-
want, don't expect people to deduce it
from the fact that you are married and
have several small children.
If you are professional person, and
have decided early in your career that
you must make money above all things,
don't be hurt and surprised when you
are forty if you are not widely known
as a distinguished scientific expert.
And If you have given up your life
to research, don't be surprised If you
haven't made a lot of money.
You have told the world one thing
Now you are dismayed that it did not
see into your heart and understand
what it was that you really wanted.
Too many gentle souls pin their faitf
on the old idea that the world will
sooner or later beat a path to theii
doors.-Marion Mclean, in The De

FIND PLEASURE IN PAINTING
Almost Every One Has at Some Time
Of Life Been Fond Of Handling
Bright Colors.

Nearly everybody likes to paint. We
like to feel the paint flow from the
brush and to see the dull, dirty sur
face we are painting covered with
smooth, brightly cOlOred coating, which
not only lends beauty to it, but pro-
tects it as well against the destructive
Influences of the weather and the cor
rosive gases in the air. 1t may be that
the almost universal pleasure found in
painting is an inherent trait, cOmmu-
nicated to us through the centuries by
our savage fOrefathefs, who mixed pig
ment with fat or grease and smeared
their bodies and faces with it. Paint
Is no modern invention; even white
lead is of ancient origin, declares
New York Sun writer. The story is
told of the wife of the famous Greek
general, XenOphOn, who had the habit
Of smearing white lead on her face
and wearing high heels until her hus-
band told her he thought her pretty
enough as she was without the appli-
cation of artificial aids to beauty.
There is a reference traced back as
far as the Seventh century A. d.. which
is the first recorded instance of the use
| of paint to cover a wooden carriage
very much in the manner prevalent to
day. There are earlier historical men
tlOns of the use of paint, but these
refer more to sizes. such as glue, ant
special paints such as those made witt
| xuay and used nv tho Romans in admiX
ture with glue to paint their ships Of
war. The Egyptians used glue sizes
and varnishes. The mummy cases il
museums indicate that clearly ant
probably form the earliest examples o
vanished articles in existence.

May Grow Own Orange Blossoms.

Orange groves in the dining room,
breakfast fruit direct from tree to
plate, and prospective brides raising
their own orange blossoms in their
own apartments while they fill their
hope chests. are some of the possibil-
tiles fOreseen in the introduction Of
the Chilean dwarf sweet orange into
this country, by the United States
Department of Agriculture. This
orange, called the Capuchin, gives
promise of being useful in the United
States as a house plant, as well as
for deoryards and other places where
an ornamental fruit plant is desired
1t is believed that this small size,
juicy fruit tree which is being brought
from the vicinity of Santiago de
Chile, where 1t is extensively culti-
waited, must have originated in that
section. The trees bear heavy crops
of excellent thin-skinned oranges
about two inches in diameter.

Sailing. Lashed to Trees.

Great trains of driftwood, bound for
the Arctic, forever sail the Mackenzie
river, and the voyager who happens to
be going along with this forest debris
often presses it into service instead of
regarding 1t as an obstacle.
The larger trees which retain their
branches can be utilized to make prog
ress against an up-river wind, for these
submerged boughs are just as effective
as an underwater sail.
And there are lots of other advan-
tages. BY lashing to a suitable tree
the traveller can cook his meals on the
way, and If he wants to get forward
by night his canoe may be secured to
an Arctic-bound tree and he may go
serenely to asleep while continuing the
journey.

The other day. while examining
some children in the school at the In

was sent from school and reported to

of the institution had not been there

MONUMENT TO MARK HIGHWAY
To BE ERECTED At NEW CASTLE
S. S. DEAMER TO ERECT SHAFT
WHERE CAESAR RODNEY RODE

Mr.. Deamer Also on Christmas Morn
ing Distributed 1900 Toys and 1000
Pounds of Candy to the Children
Selden S. Deemer, president of the
Deemer Steel Casting Co., of New
Castle, is making plans for the erec-
tion of a large monument of granite
and steel at his residence, Sixth and
South streets. The plot of ground to
be used as the site has been a flower
garden in New Castle for some years,
and was formerly a portion of the"Old
Kings Highway" over which Caesar
Rodney rode on horseback from Dover
to Philadelphia to sign the Declara-
tion of independence. The monument
is to be erected as a memorial to the
"Old Kings Highway" Two bronze
tablets, one in memory of Caesar Rod
ney and the other in memory of the
Delaware soldiers who fought in the
World War will be inserted on the
sides of the granite portion of the
monument and also a tablet in men,
ory of soldiers of other wars will be
inserted. Mr.. Deemer is endeavoring
to obtain a German Cannon, which, if
secured, will be placed on top of the
structure. He has been in communi-
cation with U. S. Senator Ball to have
him introduce a bill for the distribu-
tion of the cannon captured during the
World War. Plans are being made for
the erection of a drinking fountain
along the curb opposite the monument.
Mr.. Deemer distributed on Christmas
1900 Christmas toys and 1000 pounds
of candy. The distribution on Christ
mas morning was from his residence
to the children of New Castle as has
been the annual custom by Mr.Deeme1
for several years.

of about 100000 net tons, or 100000
tons more than the week previous
The increase is attributed by the
survey to u gradual improvem enr
in traffic conditions on the railroads

to a lessened degree, to increased
production in fields hitherto throt-
tied by the strike. Notwithstanding
this increase in biturninous output
the survey added, the nineteenth
week of the strike finds coal pro-
duction still about $4,000 tons less
than the level reached before the
ShOpmens strike.
Production of anthracite in the
nineteenth week will be less than
10000 tons. Total output Of all coal,
therefore, in round numbers. is $780,
600. In the corresponding week Of
1921, 1.111,000 tons of bituminous and
1,772.000 of anthracite were produced

pressed by many that his passing had
taken from Ireland one of it's greatest
fighters for freedom and from the
Free State government one of its
most courageous leaders. Advocates
OF both the republican and Free State

Tow at Griffith's demise. They de-
clared that his teachings and his
works had inspired all Irish leaders
and that they would carry on for him.
Men who were intimate with Grif-
fifth before the birth of the Sim Fein
recalled some of the interesting chap
ters OF his life. For many years he
edited a newspaper. Often it was
suppressed by the British govern
ment. but, undismayed, Griffith con-
tinued its publication, changing its
name after each suppression. He
continued this for fifteen years and
his paper had that many, if not more.
names. One Of his utterances, print
ed in May, 1918, in a pamphlet bear
ing the title THE Slave Mind" was:
'"The slave mind has been the bane
Of Ireland. for it is the very root of
the lack of self-reliance which has
reduced the stateliest race in Europe
the Gaels-to what they are today
1t has destroyed our moral cour-
age. We are Irishmen. Our
duty to our country demands us to
regain Ireland's national and political
liberties. and until England has re-
stored them England remains Ire
lands enemy"
Avoids Execution.
Griffith would have been executed
with Sir Roger Easement. it is said,
had it not been for the fact that he
was considered "a mental Sim
Feiner" and did not publicly advo-
cate physical force. He believed in
the printing press rather than the
machine gun.
Griffith was taken into custody
after the arrest of Easement and the
physical force advocates who had a
part in the Sackville street affair.
He was tried. and the military court,
though it was not proven that he
had any actual part in the rebellion,
ordered his deportation to England
for one year.
Griffith was known as a man who
never lost his temper. An anecdote
Of this trait was related
recently by James Stephens, Irish
novelist and poet.
Knocked Out Thug.
One evening. so the story goes.
Stephens and Griffith had dined in
the little restaurant in Dublin in
whose coffee room the Sim Fein was
born. Afterward, with several of
their friends, they strolled leisurely
up Grafton street and Griffith began
talking of his experiences as youth
in the South African gold mining
country.

saying, "for every man in the mining
camp seemed to have the knack Of
making a fortune except myself. One

At this point two rowdfes darted
from the shadows. One of them de-
liberately bumped into Griffith.
said words He picked up his hat
and put it on again. The rowdy
knocked it off the second time and
uttered an insult. Still Griffith held
his tongue. He removed his eye
glasses, tucked them in a pocket and
then, as the rowdy came back the
third time, struck him sQuarely on
the chin. sending him sprawling in
the gutter.
Griffith then placed his glasses on
his nose and. as if there had been
no interruption to his story, added:
Cleaned up ten thousand pounds
in a single week."
