I -made a complete canvass of m y county. I stated, arid it was stated in the coun­ty- papers that I should vote for Stokes, if elected; Instead. o f the .ma­jority that. Assemblyman Warren re­ceived a year ago, I was elected by niore than 800 plurality in a total vote of 3,500. In my canvass I found no Republican who asked me to vote for Dryden, while I had many commendu - tions of my stand for Stokes, and since m y election, I have had many letters from Ocean county voters ask­ing me to vote for Stokes, but none urging Dryden's /re-election.” .'

'1 How about a governor’s ineligibili­ty for other ofllce while chief, execu­tive of the State?” .”

“I .have given that a great deal of thought.

Sunday- marked the prelude to the; Christm as‘ anthem of "good will to m en," and in St. Paul M .E . church the echoes of - Bethlehem 'hills- stirred many hearts. In the morning after a pleasing program of music, the Rev. Dr. James William Marshall delivered one of the/ best sermons o f his pastor­ate- here from the theme,/ “Som e Signs of the ./Lord/’ H e also touched bn the incartation; a suibject which oCcuipled the w;orid’s attention during Dr. Crap- sey’s , trial for heresy. ’ .

After telling of certain signs in the Old Testament, Dr. Marshall said in part:'

“The Christmastlde brings to mind not the redemption of a race blit of a- world; and there is counected with the 'Redeemer and the redemption certa.in Indubitable signs- of this pres* ence and power which it is. well for the church to keep clearly before its vision. *" '

“This morning I -purpose to direct our attention to some of these sllgns in order to emphasize certain charac-- teristics of the' Redeemer and the re­demption he- has -brought. ’

“The fii^st is a sign of the Redeem­er’s . greatness and goodness— 'all things Were made by Him and with­out 'H toi -was not anything made that was m ade ;’ and God said,, 'Let there be/ lights in th e firmament of the heaVen,’ etc,' Our Redeemer, there­fore,/ has given: us/ the /:tw o greatest blessings: light and. life. So when-we 1 ook . at the stars, the moon^ or t]ie‘ sun w e know they, were created by H is omnipotent power. They are the signs' that H e is. In Hiis universe to-

: day. As we 'behold all the wonders of vegetable, animal and spiritual life in the world, they are the signs of crea­

tive goodness and power."A s He was before all things, as He

created all things, so He is In the w'Oiid preserving the things He has made by .His perpetual p r e s e n c e . '•

‘ ‘There is a Christmas sign o f-H is . glory in the star seen of the *wjse ih^n. Is there any star w:hlch shines now.as a guifde/to Him ? There Is the;.V.t.T.inous/orb of His W ord. His chm ch shines , todoy -with His personal pres­ence; It is indeed the reflection cf* His iove and: grace. . Then there art? the stars of. His people.- Here- and 1 there. God has placed them in the ■world as lights shining in a dark place. ,

“ Again , at this Christmas tdme, we have the sig n o f His humility. The duelling of the poor became His birthplace, and ihe quiet, ox and'sheep In tiheir. stables their company, and ihe mangfir'the /cradle.' ..’. “’W hat means thiB sign to us? He. owned • the world and yet 'renounced its pride and its comfort. He came iir regnant. humility— a Prlnce of ■ the house of* David; and yet born among the lowly poor. . '

“To ’ me this alliance wibh . our hu­man nature from birth to. death, to glory, recalls his purpose of brother­hood. All can 'claim HLm, from the least to the greatest He touches the fofcart cf poverty. He is a part of the raco. /Our ‘blood -Is in H is veins. He is on© of us. it proves'His far-seeing- 'iiess, His *„-*vin'ity. No. other Prince and Savior w ould/have come as He, 'came. . •/'.

' ‘Again, the Christmastlde calls our attention to the sign of the supernat­ural, presence. How did God become incarnate? / The scriptures tell us. It was prophesied by Isiah 700 years be* fore the event: ‘Therefore, tlie LordHimself shall give you a sign; behold, a Virgin shall coiiceive and 'bear a- sou and shall; call H4s name Im­manuel, which bein g . interpreted . is God with fis.’ And so the Holy Ghost'

■ oversfhadowetl.. jM atx/.i.the, ...V irgin-^the flower of the world’s womanhood— and 'Christ was born. Thus ,Jesus was preserved from : the ;sinful eontaniina- tion of the race and He became the Son df God, the Son of Man. By a special and isolated plan, Jesus.:, -be­came a perfect human being accord­ing to the purpose of God.

“ W a s 'It a miracle? Certainly. The incarnation stands as the foundation miracle of the New Testament. \i Is the miracle of miracles— the sign of God's <pi‘esence. and power in the'In­carnation./ :•' .“Ther.e is the s ig n , in literature:B. C. and A. D., Before Christ and Anno Domini.

“There , is a sign in commercial life — the. message -• of t'he . toys. The Jesus despised o f the--Jeivs haa mastered, for/one. season, at least, ihe business of the world. > *

“There Is a s'lgn In the customs of society— Christmas day, the Christ­m as house gathering, the Christmas tree.

'.“There is-tho sign of worship. All the churches agree on this observ­ance—>t.he -prayer : bif a little child, the voice, of song. All agree -that we are at o u r ,b e st when the Christ-child is iborn. with iii us. ' *

“There fs the sign o f benevblence in •the alms giving; the vIsltabions made all over the Awrld ;■ the poor cheered in Hiis nam e." ^ * . //P a s tor ;*Ma rs hall v; con eludes! liis ser­

Dr. •Marshall said the ladles attended* well, but he scored the men a s ’being lazy nnd too much inclined to take a nap or do something else on Sunday rather than go to Sainday school. He urged the men to attend;

Mrs. Charles B. W ilgus; superinten­dent o f the primary class -was' intro-, duced and staged that the proceeds of Tuesday-night’s entertainment was to go toward a fund to buy a piano for thab/.department. She returhed thanks to those who attended.

For. faithful attendance Superin­tendent Guerin presented rewards to W alter and Howard Weber, - Nathan­iel Stone, Marion Holmes and George Foster. There was also a gift for Mrs. John Weber from the school and presents for Mrs. W ilgus from . the primary class children and the ladies who assist her in that department.

Tihe training bf-the children in sing­ing was don© by Mrs. - Wilgus. with Miss Nellie ‘Covert at the piano. The general work was done by Mrs. Her­bert D.\ Clark and two' o f ’ the. hitter’s neighbors,. Miss Mary Morton and Miss Elizabeth bobbins, , whose, aid was greatly appreciated. ..

GEN. PATTERSON TO TAKE OATII OF OFFICE JANUARY 1

Courl Denies Petition ol Fred D. Hur­ley lor Recount ol Ballots

The application of Frederick D. Hurley of W est Grove, for a recount of. the- votes cast for township com­mitteeman in W est Grove last month, received a complete knockout before Circuit Court Judge Lloyd at Free­hold on Monday. Not only was Mr. Hurley, the" Democratic candidate, beaten at every, point by Patterson & Rhome of Asbury. Park, but Judge Lloyd instructed that Mr. Hurley must pay all of the costs of the Case.

General John C. Patterson o f Ocean G rove, whose Election Mr. Hu rley contested, will' be appointed a mem­ber o f the township/, committee on New Year’s day, that body being Re­publican. Gen. Patterson is a staunch Republican and w ill make a / very valuable' add.ition to the committee. On election <lay Mr. Patterson and •Mr. Hurley each received the same num'ber of votes, 449. 'Mr. Hurley contended that certain votes rejected by the election board should have been counted for him.

As soon as the , case .was heard Judge IJoyd dismissed the petition on the ground that the votes rejected by. the election board were propet'ly rejected, and that Mr. Hurley had no •standing before the court. This still leaves the result a tie, necessita­ting an appointment by the township committee to fill the vacancy.

Prior to this time -Mrs. !: W hite had been bedfast for som e - weeks and after the excitement of -the • / occasion was over, she took to her ; bed. There came a temporary im­provement. and election week M r,//, White took her1 south by easy ; stages. Since then the wife has grown steadily weaker w i t h inter- - mittent spells of rallying.

erbellii)come from Inovassi. Figs from . Naall and from Sultan Qlssar arc also h i g h ly valued, although tlie Bkins are ‘ somewhat tlifctcer. Trees begin to'bear ^ In tlieir sixth year and are In full vigor ■V,in the fifteenth year. Fig trees on the ; low plains yield fruit which Is; both

larger and richer in saccharine matter. They often suiter, however,; from an

jexce^s of moisture In unusualiy wet ■j seasons, when groves on; higher ground

iare lees harmed owing to the facilities : for drainage. ‘ v ‘ . •.% The fruit ripens about the middle.of f?August, when it ]£• picked and dried in

.the open air for from three to six dayivv ; I t is then packe t iu sacks .of about .250

pounds each,'two bC.whleh constitute a ; load for a cum..I, v andtransported to

tlie nearest rnlLond station. •. After ar­rival at SinyY'iia camelh likewise trans­port the sacks the warehouses of tlie doalers. . Carte uve not employed lu tills connection,.ns the fruit Is liable to

. be damaged when tlie-sacks are piled one on tlie other. The arrivals from the country are promptly bought up by the various.packing houses, who have cach a large corps of employees, chiefly ;women aiid girls, for the operations of sorting, waffltliig. drying and packing

• the fruit. i '. This means work for many thousands

in Smyrna during the mouths o f Sep­tember and .October, and tlie average degree of prosperity among the lower classes duying the en lh vyear Is large­ly dependent upon the amount of mon­ey set in niotlon during this short pe­riod.

The Bol ting oF the ligH Is carried out with great care" ’ Color, Imi more ape*

•‘d a ily size and thickness, or, rather,, thinness, o f skin, guide tlie classifica­

tion.' The inferior grades, the so called “hordas,” culls or refuse, are eliminat­ed and sold for purposes o f distillation. A certain quantity of this grirtle Is ex­ported to A jistria'and Hungary and

. used ns a substitute for chicory. The delicate, da vor of Vienna coffee Is due to. the presence of dried tig powder. The. bettor grades are prepared for ex­pert in various ways. The least ex­pensive Is packing Iu Unpii or other bags and is used usually for the less valuable” (pin lilies.

The finer, grades are subjected, to a lertnln manipulation before being tightly packed In boxes containing from one to eleven pounds. During the

"•manipulation; the workmen eontUuiulIy dip their lingers iu sea water. A s a re­sult the fruit Is better preserved and tlie sweetness is not diminished by long keeping.— New York Herald.

Grammar and the Grammur School., The., subject iu which tho grammar

-school (so called) contravenes most• sharply- the hnv of the order o f learn­ing Is perhaps grammar, for grammar,

v beliig tlie ana l.vt le and theoretical stud^: o f language, does not belong In tlie

grammar school at all. Tbe scientlilc -classification of pheuomena cannot commence until the phenomena have

s been assembled aud made familiar. To ' this law of learning language Is no ex- . ceptlon. The lauguaw .study proper ^ to tlio grammar school Is observation V-iiiind ncqunlntamfe—that Is, more partic­

ularly, practice Iu rending, speaking, and composing. Nor for this Is the

' study of grammar necessary. W hat Is ’ necessnrj- Is a very large amount of-

practice, much readlng. much speaking, .much composing. The only use of grammar here is n negative one—niune-

: - ly, to correct uiistalies—aud. for this negative purpose the only person.In the grammar school who need know gram- mar Is thef teacher. 'Ihe positive, acl-

,; ;cntiflc study of grammar must bo re­served for tlio high school.—W . O. Par­sons In Atlantic.

Meantime, here In the United States we have' it cons Id era hR» margin of safety.

But now, even leaving out far Guam and tho Philippines, we have, right oil the Mlautle. coast, a more eastern city than Eastport In San Juan, Porto ; Rico, ‘through which passes the sixty-sixth meridian west frqm , Greenwich., • ; \

“Burn U p Your Sins,"

A New .Year’s Sermon

In some parts o f Genminy a (juaint custom prevails on N’ew. Year’s eve, one which .has n: deep.significance.. ,

.Tnsfc. before mldulght each .ineiuber of the. fanijly"produces a slip or-,folio of paper and places it With much so­lemnity upon a bltixiiig lire. The pa­per contains a, list of the person’s sins, of the mistakes made diirlug tiie out going year and of the. writer’s short* coinings generally.; For Instance, .the eldest daughter is conscious of. having been selfish and Irritable. She writes the words down, and as she sees the flames destroy them she feels that these unpleasant,characteristics have dropped from her and are no longer connected with her in the minds of the rest of her family, circle until, she gives them .reason to retail them. ~. She Inis, burned her sins, wiped^out

last year's mistakes, and Is ready to stort anew. '•••.'. v. The others have done the sam e With their shortcomings. Theyv%too;> have placed closely written pages oii • the pyre, and as they watch the glow fade In the embers made of burned sins each person " thankfully " accepts thp new chance; and Is deeply, even If only momentarily, conscious of having turn­ed over a new leaf In life’s ledger, and destroyed tlie old one.

This little ceremony of burning one’s sins on N ew -Y earV eve Is more than ;a. quaint mediaeval survival of some re­ligions function. it is typical o f the modern sane, hopeful attitude toward the future.: To carry the' saddening thought - or the ;harrowing consciousness of last year’s overwhelming mistakes Into.thls year will help,no one. •

Burn up your sins. Don’t regret the faults and sorrows of the past If they have made you finer, tenderer, nobler.

In the place in your mind where you had emblazoned the oppressing,jist of your sins;write your uplifting resolu- tionsl:...: ; ■ . ' ■ ‘v; ■ ;• :

But.' while .von are wiping out your own sins remember to be equally dire­ful to erase from your memory tlie faults of others. Give them a iiew chance too.—Margaret Hubbard Ayer In New York World.

W hy Bells A re Rung

O n N ew Year's • E ve.,

Bell ringhitr as ir sign of rejoicing has been almost universally practiced itt the New Year ever since the seveiith cent ury. * In ‘ China I icils were cast and used ages before the Christian era; and lu every large city there was a hell o f Justice^hung usually at the gate o f the governor’s palace, with long; • ropes along tlie principal.'streets, anil; any 11ggrleved person raii*j Lhe bell as an appeal for Justice. There were also bells at the temple doors, and the en­tering' worshiper gave a tug at the rope: to call the attention of the deity within to his presence and, wants. In Kurop’e .bell^ were* first; used \ ’-sig­nals for public worship, as lire.alarms and to;glve notice of asseiiiidies oV^the peo pie, but the! r elieerfu 1 cl a ngor led to /their- yse as an expression of re­joicing, and hence to their employment at the New Year. , j.

HltVDEN VER SES TH E FARMER.The Newark, Advertiser has ii whole

lot to say these days about bambooz­ling the farmer all 'becauso several of tilie farmers’ associations have passed1 resolutions opposing Senator Drytlen’s re-election. If the editor of the Advertiser would go out more among the farmers he would And they are not as easily bamboozled' as he thinks they are.

The farmers, as a class, are the most Intelligent citizens this country has. They know what they want and can .not only take care of thismselvcsi' but act as a safety valve-for the coun­try when their fl thirty city cousins be-: .om e highly excited over some rad­ical Ideas It is the returns that come in from the country districts at evety election that discourages the ngltutors and gives encouragement to the patriot.

The American farmer Is a well-read m an.. In. nearly ‘ every .farm house throughout the .land, and. especially in New Jersey, will ibe found all the cur­rent literature and books' 011 all the questions of tihe day. These are read during .the long winter evenings while the city man is fooling away his time In the theatres and at the clubs. While the farmer works he thinks about what lie has read, he reasons out the various points and draws Ills own conclusions. He drives to church on Sunday and. meets his acquaint­ances with whom he discusses the

‘ different subjects.Having thus fixed a matter In his

mind, no politician, from the city can bamboozle him.

WASHINGTON LETTERv" ' W ashington;: Dec. 27, .1906.

. There has never before been a Con­gress which bas received quite, so ■many messages from the President within the same space of time, ’ and the Indications are that two more will be delivered soon after the holiday re­cess. Oi\e of these will deal with the -problem o f car shortage and the oth­er with .the need for a more drastic Immigration law. The car'shortage •problem is likely to result in a great deal of congressional discussion. W hole .cojn'munities In the northwest havo been very close to the freezing and starving point owing to the fail­ure of the railroads to supply them with cavs to transport food and fuel. Th e P res id ent has been in ii ch I uter­es ted In the situation and has serious­ly considered the advislbHity o f pre­senting a . bill to congress giving the interstate Commerce Commission power to deal 'With carV sliortago' and freight congestion whenever', it arises In addition to their responsibility for fixing railroad rhtes. The ‘• icomms- sion is. loath to undertake such Im­portant work, but admits its necessi­ty. The railroads likewise would also be sorry to see such an Important ■power vested in a federal department. A t t'he same time the situation is very likely to com e to. this. :

President A ; B. Stickney of- the 'Chicago: Great-i W estern , ■ who 19; in 'Washington this week, had a confer­ence with tlie President and 'likewise with "the Interstate ; .Commerce, Com-: m ission; H e said: 'tlvat - the question, of distributing cars where they were most needed was in reality quite as important as the power of adjusting rates. Ho said.that many of the ship­pers on tho railroads were responsible for much o f the car shortage,as they •held cars an unreasonable - length of •tlmo before unloading , them ' a n d . re-

turning them to the road. He did not; say, but it is recognized by the I nterstate Commerce Comm ission and railroad men in general to be a- f-aet, that this m isuse and detention of cars is ohly another form of rebat­ing. The great shippers make deT mands upon the railroad 'companies for freight cars and hold them as long as they choose.- Small' shippers .get. pinched when there is a 'sbortage of cars, but tbo. Railroads are afraid, to offend, the - big' Shippers by demanding back their own “ rolling stock. The railroads all agree ' that If there were some federal authority capable of dealing with tihe situation'; - there are navv; practically enough cars on tthe railroads to serve every community and they -would not be. sorry to see the question of distribution takeii out of theli> bands so that if need arose they could blame the federal^govern­ment for any harshness toward . the big shippers which the railroad • com­panies'them selves are afraid to show. AU this, it w lll.be seen4>looks ,to ’Gpv- ernment control : and the' frontier 'be­tween contvol. and ownership is neither a mountain nor a chasm.

President iRoosevelt has taken an energetic . part in- the attempt which has been j made for over a year past to control the course of the. Colorado, river, which has now entirely aban­doned its old channel'' and -is flooding out an important section of the south­west. This break in the river’s, banks ’has not attracted* much general atten­tion because -the scene of. the disaster is so far in the southwest away’ from the center cf civilization.; ;AS a matter of fact, 'h ow ever ,: the Colorado river, which is the third. largest in river in the United States,-has broken through its western bank a little below Yum a •Cal., and turning directly northward is flowing down into the old ’.Salton sea. The Salton sea -. is an ; immense depression,, bigger and deeper than the fam ous: pead .sea, and. if the river was left alone It would take , forty years to flu up the depression arid - It- would make an Immense sea^as big.as: Lake Michigan. , The; river : bas al­ready done an enormous amount of damage and - unless it is checked .lC ls. estimated that it will destroy a t least $13,000,000,000 worth . of property and farm land. Tlie-Southern Pacific rall- Voad bas been, forced five ‘ "times -to: m ovents tracks out of the way of the rising ••‘waters arid its ..engineers have twice thought that" they had the break closed. Each time; ’however, thd river has again eaten through' and the situ­ation is now as bad as ever. Presi­dent Roosevelt has -wired E. II. Har- riman, t'he I5i'esideht -;of--the- Southern Pacific, to iise. -as niany men’ and as much inoney as ' may. be necessary in closing the break anil has promised that he will lay., the mabter before congress - arid secure a government appropriation to bear at least a part of the expensed • .

W'ltih over a .million . ^immigrants coining annually to the United States the President jhas decided that*' the time for drastic immigration legisla­tion has arrived and I f Is announced that som r-after the 'holiday recess of congress ap executive m essage will be sent in outlining theleglslaJtlon which is advisable to enact; - The President had T. V. Powderly, for­mer Commissioner of Immigration In Europe all the past fall, and slimmer examining into the status of Immigra­tion abroad,,the a t t itu d e -o f fo r e ig n governments toward it, and the rneth*

.pda • employed by. j steatnship -. compan­ies . In drumming up this - sort of pas-

•senger traffic, In this country he has had James B. 'Reynolds and. Commis­sioner of Labor Charles ,T. Neill mak­ing a.thorough inquiry at New York, Boston and other ports of entry with .a view to seeing just what tihe situa­tion is based upon these investiga­tions will be embodied in the forth­coming message.

’ Urgent efforts -are being -made b£ the friends o f the army -in .both branches of congress to secure the passage of the so-called Antlllery bill, which has been, embodied in the army appropriation ■ bill. This measure’ will provide for braising.,Dhe number, of, the sea coast artillery corps vrom 14,000 to 19,000 men. It is , not' generally un­derstood j ii st. ii ow •much ■ i mportance attaches- to this measure. Following the recommendations o f the Endicott Board in 1884 this government lias engaged in a very extensive work, at all important sea coast points where immense fort!ftcatlohs. and heavy" sea coast guns have, been .Installed; .There- has oiready been / expended in ihis work over $100,000,000, just about £he. contemplated cost-;of ;Wie actual/ con-, struc'tlon work on the Panama -canal. Most of this work ha? already been finished1 and guns worth hundreds of thousands o f dollars are standing idle covered with tarpollns because there are not m en enough available to man iflhem. ' It would talc^ ’ about 56,000 men to furnish sliift a t each of the coast points where they are needed and these guns m ust be moved and turned on their -mountings every day to prevent the toundatlons from set* tllng under them and rendering them •entirely useless.

W h y. Almost Any Sotrlety For Any ' I'nriionc . C'nn Suceced..

Tlio oriental Is passionately fond of club life, and the smaller the degree of personal. liberty he enjoys In ordi­nary life the more Intense Is Ills' en­joyment of membership 111 some broth­erhood. It does not innJce. very much difference what .the nature of the club may be; It is the mere joy of club life,. Irrespective of object or principle, that appeals to him. Having once tasted this joy, he will do much rather than forego a continuance of It. Oriental society Is bo constituted that the fam ­ily, or clan is tbe social unit and not the individual. A man cannot be alone In Jits -punishments, for they are also visited In. greater or less degree upon his relatives ns w^H. He cannot en­joy or suffer alone. Now, a club or so: clcty is a much smaller organization than society as a whole, and the indi­vidual forms a correspondingly larger fraction of It. This Is an Immense stimulus to self esteem. Tlie man be­comes somebody. This explains'w hy almost any society,- irrespective of its object, car. Instantly gather a numer­ous and enthusiastic constituency. Any man with a little tact could go'out on the streets o f Seoul and in twenty-four hours establish a society .for the culti­vation of. mushrooms on thatched roofs, with, president, vice president, secre­tary,. treasurer and; executive commit­tee complete and a membership list as long as a"piece of string, if not longer. W hy? Simply because membership In “any old" society does just a little to lift a man, out o f the humdrum of life. —Korea News.

An East Indian Pi»U That Traycls Over, the Lnndi

As a rule, fish come out of the water only a t the end of a line or by other iiivoluntary process, blit the climbing perch of the E a st Indies,thinks noth­ing .of leaving a pool with which it Is not satisfied and starting overland in search of one more to its taste.

This usually happens as a result of the evaporation of a pool In the extreme­ly dry season. When the fish decide that. the water-.in tho particular pool formed during the rainy season is in danger, of drying out completely they, make all preparations for niovlng and late at night or early In the morning deliberately climb the banks and start off In search of some more commodious pool or streuln not In danger o f going dry. W hen the journey Is made at the hour It usually is the fish are favored by the heavy dew w’ hicli lies on the grass, but if an emergency arises they will baldly strike out at noontime along the dusty road.

They travel’by means of the strong bony tins which are full of sharp spines, like those of the common perch. They have a receptacle In which they carry water with them to moisten their gills. It is said that they will live sev­eral days out of w’ater, and with the assistance of the dew laden grass the fish that sturls In search of a satisfac­tory pool or stream Is practically sure •of living .until It finds It. — Brockton Times. }

Pope Sixtus V. at­tempted to change their name from “ Society of Jesus” to “ Society of Igna­tius," after their founder, Ignatius Loyola, but the attempt miscarried, and the Jesuits have never become “Ignatlans/’ after the model of the Franciscans, Dominicans and Benedic­tines,' although their enemies In Spain used to call them 'Tnlgisias” (Inigo be­ing. the Spanish original of Loyola’s Christian name).

There \vere iew frenzied.financiers In England al the bej.inning qt’ thd eight­eenth century If th? banker Bulliot,<o( whoni the following story is told, ctiiv be .tak:*n as an example: The feast of St. - Swivhin, July in. 1725, Was a par­ticularly wet and stdiuny day.

Trusting jini)Kcltl.y in the old super-- stitloii, which says that if It rains on St. Swit bin's day It .will rain for forty days thereafter. Bulliot opened a pool for every, one, who was v lllln g to bet against, him. The affair* attained .so much notoriety that the wager w a s ‘re­duced to writing. ' v ' •

“ If lia.tiii^ frbiii St Swithin'S'day.” reads the menioranduuu “ it rains more orjittle during forty days successively Bulliot will be considered to have gained, but if It cease to ruin for only one day during that time Bulliot. has lost.” i

For two weeks It contained to show­er every day. and so confident did the banker become that he accepted, as stakes not. only money, but gold head­ed canes, jewels, suuffboxes and even, clothes. When his cash gave oUt he offered notes and bills of exchange. Another week passed, and Bulliot's star was still In the ascendant.. But when the* twenty-second day

sank into the west bright and cloud­less the unfortunate banker was ruined.

Tlie Dayilmo Nap* ‘Prolonged “ forty winks” during th »

day are severely condemned by many doctors on the ground that they affect one’s regular, sleep. Scientists have found that In tho ordinary.icourse in the human being there is the greatest vitality between 10 a, m,.; and 2 p, m, and the least between 2 o’clock and 0 o’clock in the morning. Long sleeps during the day interfere with this or­der of nature, sometimes causing head­ache. The nap r. o f forty winks, but; only forty, proves refreshing.to many because i t is too short to have any In­jurious consequences. , .

The scent o f orange flowers Is so de­pressing to the action of. the. heart th a t1 it is not safe for any one witli disease of that organ to. Inhale It for any length of time. Reviving perfumes come from herbaceous plants largely, from the odors of mignonette, rose­m ary and lavender, and soothe the nerves.,

The perfumes o f lilies, jasmine and acacia are pleasant and soothing to a liealthy sense, though delicate nerves cannot enjoy them even In their garden freshness. Brought closer in clusters of blossom, their odor is narcotic and depressing, so that persons grow faint at the B m eltof them and may be put into heavy slumber, as tf drugged by their odor.—London Express.

If chemists and druggists disappear­ed from the face.of the earth humanity could still worry along with the simple remedies which nature yields, prac­tically ready m ade ..’ There Is nothing to. beat rhubarb juice as a cure for gout or rheumatl.sin except water from medicinal springs. All kinds o f scurvy and bipod poisoning yield to the juice of lemons or of limes, which are the greatest ‘blood purifiers In existence. Even, doctors acknowledge that nat­ural} fresh cream from cow s' milk can give points to cod liver.oil and similar nasty liquids In treating consumption. Common mustard used as a plaster or poultice is tlie best cure for a cold on the chest, nnd the white of an egg with sugar Is the finest medicine for hoarse^ ness. To cure a burn an application of the white skin that. lines the shell of an egg Is unbeatable, while , the raw yolk is a capital tonic. In fact, gar* deiis and roadsides are full of herbs of which the juice or leaves afford reme­dies or palliatives for almost every dis­ease to which humanity is heir.—New York Mall. ‘ * . •

Btory o f iii* Origin AccordlnfiT to th® Dutch liCRrend.

Some persons, including*a few ency­clopedists, are inclined to think that tho baker’s dozen originated when heavy fines were considered necessary to counterbalance light weights and the bakers, In order to insure full weight, took the precaution to add an addi­tional unit. Some have called It the devil’s dozen, bemuse thirteen was the number of, witches wbo» used to ride tlieir broomsticks to the “black mass” of Satan. The baker’s great book in the Astor library has another story o f its origin: ; 1

Jan Pletersen of Amsterdam was a good churchman,, but ' nevertheless he was afraid o f being bewitched. On the last night of 1*154 lie sat In his bftke- shop trying to keep out the evil spirits by priming himself wiUi a glass o f good spirits. Sales had been brisk. Thorp were no customers In the shop for the moment, and he sat back, medi­tating on the gains he, would make on the morrow, :, wlien . the fresh’ ^New Year’s cakes were put on sale. lie was Startled by a sudden rap. An ugly wo­man ;pUshed the door open. , ;

. “Give me a dozen Xew Year’s cook­ies,” she cried in a shrill voice.

The shrillness of her voice did not mean anything to his slow.Dutch mind.It only annoyed him. j

“Well, then, you needn’t speak so loud,” said .lau. ’Tni not deaL”

■“ A dozon!” sh screamed.. “Give me ’• a dozen. Here are-only twelve!” j

“ W ell, then, twelve Is a dozen;"“ One more! 1 want a dozen.” . . i “ Well, then. If you want another, go -

to the .devil and get it.” . ‘ ' jTije hag left the shop, biit from that i

night Jan had trouble. The shop seem- \ ed to be be wil died. Ills 'cakes were j stolen. Either Ids bread was so light ] that it soared up the chlniney . or so ' heavy that the supports of the oven j gave way beiu'ath the bitrdeu. His ; wife becam e-deaf; liis children went j wiki. His trader took wings and set- tied in the shops of ills rivals. Three J tiuies, the old : woinan returned, and | each time' w as directed to the devil’s | samrtum. A t last, in despair, the baker j called upon St. Nicholas to'assist-him . The venerable .patron of Dutch feasts delivered a Iccture on charity, telling the trembling mint to be more: gener­ous: in the future; Then he.vanished, and hi his place.stood the hag, who re­peated her deiiiand for one liiore cake, j Jan acceded, * whereupon she exclahU- ; edr “The spell Is broken. From this [ time one dozen is thirteen.” Taking j from tiie counter a gingerbread: effigy j of St, Nicholas, she niade the subdued j Dutchman lay his hand upon it and swear to give more liberal measure In the future. Since that time thirteen ( has been called a baker’s dozen.—New j York Tribune.

Cornetw* Tftli*.Clearness of the atmosphere has

much to do with the apparent length of comets’ tails. In clear tropical skies or in the rarefied atmosphere of moun­tainous countries the tails of such bodies can. be traced much farther

‘ than they tran by . European observers or those of temperate America.. The apparent iengtli o f such appendages by no means Indicates anything of their reithose whk-h appei ■really the shortest. This is due to the different distances, which cornets hold with respect to the earth. W hile tbe great comet, o f 1S01 had a tall which stretched away more than 15,000,000 miles, Us apparent length was tive times tlmt distance. The great Don at I comet, with a tail which appeared only half as long as that of 1SU1, was real­ly no.000,000 tulles In length. The comet o f 18l>l was ouly about lo,000,- 000 in/U*s frrtm ns, while Donati’s was at least four times as remote, a circum­stance that would account for Its ap­parent; lack-of tall. Tbe great comet of the year 1080 and that of-1S-13 each had a ta il' of enormous length. The length of the;-tall o f that o f tiifc last mentloued date has been estimated at180,000,000 . miles—tlie .longest of any comet that has yet been observed.

The perfect cleanliness of some ani­mals is a Very notable circumstance when w e consider that nearly their whole lives, are passed in burrowing in the earth and removiiig nuisances, yet such is the polish 6 f their coating and limbs that we seldom find any soil adhering to them. All the beetle race, the chief occupation of which Is crawl­ing in the soil about dirty places, are, notwithstanding, remarkable for the glossiness of their covering and free­dom from defilemehts • of any kind. Birds'are unceasingly attentive to the neatness and lustratipu of their plum­age. All reptiles and the slug race, though covered with slimy matter, are perfectly free from soil. The fur and hair of beasts in a state of liberty and health are never filthy.or sullied with dirt. Some birds roll themselves In dust nnd occasionally particular beasts cover themselves with mire, but this Is not from any liking or Inclination for such tilings, but to free themselves from annoyances or to prevent the bites of Insects.

Modern politicians manipulate for personal or partisan advantage many things they might better leave alone, but they can't "m onkey” with, the cal­endar. In ancient Rome “ fixing” the official time card was one of the fa­vorite forms of “ honest graft.” The Homan year, originally . based ou the revolutions of the moon, had come, tn the last centdry of the republic, to consist of twelve, months of Irregular length, varying from thirty-one days In March to twenty-eight in February. These twelve months covered 355 days, about teu days less than a true solar year. To overcome this discrepancy an intercalary month was Inserted every other year between February and March, as we npw insert an Inter­calary day at that point lu leap year. The Insertion of intercalary months and all matters pertaining to. the cal­endar rested with the college of pon­tiffs or priests. But the pontiffs, with their chief, the. poutlfex maxi* mus, were too often dominated by po­litical considerations. In early times they were chosen exclusively from the patrician families. Their privilege of Inserting or omitting the Intercalary montii gave* Jhem great political power, which they used to the advantage of their own. party and the Injury of the plebeians. , They capriciously length eued the year when their friends held the chief magistracy, and shortened it when the opposition held office.

This practice at length .Involved the ealemlar Iii such confusion that In Cic­ero’s day it was; th ree ’months ahead of true time. .Thus the 1st.of May fell In bleak wintry weather at whht was properly about the is t o f February, while the 1st o f •January came In the fall season at w hat is- now the begin­ning of October. *

But In the year B; C. - JO Koine’s fore most soldier, .lu llusX’aesiir, Was elect­ed poutlfex nrnxlmliS^ lIlH soldier’s system took up the;muddle In the cal­endar, which he straightened out with his accustomed, vigor. - To Imagine a modern parallel w e should have to sup­pose some one like Napoleon on hla ele­vation to the consulship or General Grant fresh from the civil w ar and his election to the presidency undertaking to correct a confusion In the calendar due to the manipulations of politicians.

Caesar railed.in the aid of Sosigenes, an Alexandrian astronomer, to rectify the error and prevent It for the future. It was In the year of Home 708^-40 B. C. ai cordlng to our reckoniug-r-that the rev.slou took place; It is said that Caesar Intended to fix the 1st of Jnii- uary In the following year, 700 (B. C. 45). on the winter solstice; the shortest day In the year. This arnlngement would have been as nearly' perfect as possible, far superior to that which we observe, Iii which New Year’s, falls some ten days, after the solstice and has no reference to anythlug of a natu­ral character, i f Otesar had taken tho Shortest dny for the 1st of January he would have had a definitely fixed land­mark Indicated by the movement of the earth Itself as*, pre-eminently the correct point of time for this event. But the story goes that about ten days later than the solstice there was a new moon, which was the startlug point uf the ancient lunar months. It was still looked upon as a good augury for a month to begin ou the now moon, and as It was desired that the year 700, the opening year of Caesar’s new calendar, ■ should be inaugurated under' circum­stances, that would commend the change to the public it was determined that the following Jan. 1 should be on the day qf the new moon. But as the new moot; would come at different dates In other years the good augury for that one year was secured at the loss of a far more important consideration for all future time. So our New* Year Is close to the shortest day, but not on it, and derives its present arbitrary posi­tion, according to this story, from the new moon happening to fall on that day lh the year B. C. 45.—New York Evening Post.

1 know there is none uiorc remarkable than the June festival o f the lilies at Nola, that ancient but sleepy city lying twenty miles out from Naples In tiio lovely Cainpagna Felice.-

Kola’s great’ hero and patron saint Is St. rautimis, poet^and bishop of the fifth century, lie is credited wltli hav* lug Invented church bells aud w as-al­together so remarkable,a person that he was carried off Into captivity by tlie Moors. Ills captors, however, were.%so Impressed, by the sanctity aud sweet­ness of the bishop that they suffered him to escape, and' when he returned home the whole population turned out ,to meet him, carrying in their hands the groat tall white lilies so familiar to this day to visitors In this lovely part of Italy. * '

As years passed away the annlver- tullnus* return was

and more cereiuo- trado guilds be- ornanrental tow-

, oi« wuitu kucg cuii led In procession as / symbols of tin* lilies with which the

Jo3’ous populace welcomed their bishop on his return. The date of the festival today is June 2t>, aud so remarkable Is It that It attracts visitors from all over Italy.

On the eve of the great day, when the glgli. or ornamental' tow.crs, seven stories In height, with multitudinous cornices and papier macho decorations, stand ready all Nola Is illuminated, and thousands of colored lanterns are hung on ropes across the streets.

One notices that the base of the pyram- 'Jdal gigll consists of a massive frame­work of beams. On the lowest story Is accommodation for an orchestra, and every tier and detail of tho towering flowerllkc glgll that rises glittering above the highest housetops Is worked

tout wltli as much piilns as though it were intended for some great cathe­dral, which should endure, not for a day, but tor a thousand years.• Every Whitsunday Nola wakes up to great excitement., A varicolored Italian crowd, largely mixed with

foreigners, pours through the narrow streets to the market place, For a few lire they secure seats on a balcouy, at a wludow, on a fiat roof or even on some cpimbling and dangerous projec­tion-of the hoary old cathedral. Tho streets at the four'corners of the mar­ket square are kept clear for the pas­sage of the giant glgll.

Suddenly the confused sound of many bands Is heard, and one by one, flash­ing, glittcrlug and swaying crazily, like tbe muBt of a ship In a gale, the great pyramids advance Into the squnre, their lofty spires nodding to the rhythmic feet of their bearers, who are always porters from the great arsenal at Naples. These men are famous all over the Cnmpagnn Felice for. their great strength. Before each moving tower a man walks backward, guiding the bearers by beatlug time with hand and foot. Other men run beside them ready to lay hold of a beam and place their own shoulder'beneath It should the strength of a comrade fall. .

The moment all tho eight glgll have entered the iparket place an extraor­dinary spectacle Is beheld, for tho lofty towers begin a fantastic and ap­parently most dangerous dance, dau- gerous, so far as one can see, alike for porters and populace. Round and round each tower dauees. Collisions seem inevitable, but are always skill­fully avoided In the 111a7.es of a kind of waltz, surely the strangest dance In the world, with forty struggling men be­neath each of ihe eight glgll and the whole army of dancers guided by the shrill whistle of the captain,

After a few minutes of this dance the massed bands strike up a wild taran­tella Immediately-tho bearers dance more recklessly than ever, aud the huge crowd * rushes hither and thither to escape annihilation from tho fall of the great juggernauts. And Imminent enough does tills seem* Tim towers, many of them from 70 to 100 feet high, bond this „way and that at a terribly alarming augle. But presontly tbe crowd realizes that, after all, there may be 110 real danger, and they, too, beglu to dance arid sing.' A sight indeed is it to see this great populace daucing furiously and the eight colossal towers dancing also Iu their; midst» Just when the porters grow so fatigued that theJr burden be-

^comes a; very, real danger tlie board of judges send the police over to Inter­fere. Gradually the waltzing pyramids

. art brought to a;standstill and ranged/'• In a i:ow before the town hall.—William

A Pnrltan, Description.The diary of the apostle to the In­

dians, John Eliot, shows that the Puri­tan forefathers had the good fortune to havo an extremely mild winter lu 1640-47. The diary says: “This winter was one of tho mildest that we ever had; no snow all winter long, nor Rbarp weather, but they had long floods at Connecticut which was much spoyle to yo corne in the meadows. W e never Jiad a bad day to goo preach1 to the In ­dians (at Newton or Natick) all this

' wlntor, praised by the Lord.” During tho season of 1047 the diary continues: “ A great ’ sickness epildemlcal did tho Lord lay upon us, that tho greatest part of the town was sick at onee. •Few died, but o f these were tho choye- oat flowers and most gracious saints.” During the summer of 1002 Apostle Eliot writes, “ It pleased God this spring -to exerclsfe the country with a severe drouth, but some were 8o rash as to impute It lo tho sitting of the synod."

in the seaside city of Asbury Park, east of the railroad, and fronting tho sea, there are 500 acres. One hun­dred acres, part o f which Is in the ho­tel district, was about 1857 known as iinstirveyed land, or land belonging to the Board of Proprietors at Perth Am ­boy. It had never -been taxed and was surveyed and “ t&ken up" by Edward . Brlnley, of Perth Amboy, at a cost of less than three hundred dollars. H e sold it to Luther Eltlng in 1866 for fif­teen hundred dollars.

In this strip of land, which runs the entire length of Kingsley street. Is In­cluded tho following hotels: W estEnd, Plaza, Schnltzler’s, Surf House, Albion, Colonnade, Monmouth, Audi­torium, and part of the Brunswick, Coleman and Columbia.

iMrs. Eltlng and others owned the woods or sand dunes of another four hundred acres. The whole five hun­dred acres was sold to the originator of Asbury Park In 1871, for $80,000.'The County Tax Board has, this year, assessed those 500 acres higher than any other 500 acres in Monmouth ,v county. The;' ground upon which for- . . . - merly stood the large and fashionable i. W est End hotel dn Long Branch, fac­ing the sea, now belongs to Judge -Wil­bur A. Helsley, and is assessed at less , than .half per square foot, what an ocean front block in Asbury Park is assessed at. Long Branch. Spring I^ake, Deal Beach, Monmouth Beach, Seabrlght, and other beautiful places on the Atlantic shore are thus com­pelled by the County Board of Taxa­tion to go to the rear in values when compared with Asbury Park, which was a wilderness in 1871.— 49tf Adv

P r o p e r ly lo E x c h a n g eA twelve-room bungalow with a pi­

azza twelve feet wide by forty feet long, located on the Hudson river near Nowburgh with seven acres o f land fronting on road and Hudson river. Lo­cated on a bluff some 250 feet above the tide level and commands view of the river and bracing a range of some fifteen or twenty milqs. Overlooking Matawan, Flshklll Landing, north and south, Beaken mountains. Trolley cars from Newburgh run within one-half mile of the place. The place has a pos­sibility of being made very beautiful and in Us present undeveloped condt- tlon it commands admiration, of strangers riding by. Tlie- frontage along the river road is bordered with, sugar maple; a never-failing spring furnishes ample water for all uses. Good reasons for exchanging.

“ One reason why New Jersey offers superior advantages to residents about, whuch little is said m ay ‘be. found In the low com m utation rates' wlhieh the steam railroads o f the state, offer to the entire m etropolitan dis­trict,” said , a prominent Jersey busi­ness man.

“The metropolitan district o f our state pours into Now* York City daily tw ice as many commuters as go there from Connecticut, Long Island and the Hudson river counties o f New York state. This latter group o f com ­muters may travel iby only four roads, the New York Centra?, the Harlem, the New Haven and the I^ong Island, and the residents o f any one section must travel iby a. single road. The commuters o f . New Jersey are. served by five trunk lines with numerous, branches; and many o f them have a Choice between two or. m ore roads by means of the numerous trolley con­nections. A conipaiison o f commuta­tion rates to points within twenty miles of Manhattan shows that the conimuters o f New Jersey enjoy rates; averaging a dollar per month, lo w e r : than those given by the first group of roads. The rate o f $5.50. charged-by tne New Jersey roads carries their patrons to the outer limit o f the me­tropolitan district, an<] by /neans of the trolley lines distribute them over a wider territory, than is possible else­where.

“ The state o f New Jersey being sltr tinted between the two large cities of New York and Philadelphia, each having its ,commuters*, zone, is prac­tically a commuters' state from end to end. The southern is .identical with th e northern lim it , for Philadelphia commuters, and the rates to the two cities a r e ' -approximately, the ■. same. Long distance com m utation . rates, say for sixty . mijes, which Is the longest possible in : th^ state o f New, Jersey, are, of course*, higher than those for shorter distances,, bu t / in proportion to the. distance" traveled they are lower tihan can be. obtained on the New York Central, the Harlem and New Haven roads. Long distance commutation rates on the Long Island road are almost prohibitive to the working man,' and in this fact may be found one o f the rea&ons why Comp­troller Metz o f Ne.w York had occa ­sion at a recent m eeting of real es­tate ■ men to_ >warn Long Islanders against com petition by. New' Jersey*;. “ At the rate the population o f the: state is. increasing, .it is probable that m e roads can still further reduce the commutation rates to New Jersey in the near futuVe, but ^ven at present we enjoy an -advantage over . other sections around New Y ork i: and this contributes to the lower cos t o f liv­ing o f which New Jersey boasts* The state statisticians showed, in their re­ports that the actual cost o f living for wage earners throughouttihe. eiitire state Js st>me. 25 per cent, lower than in New York aiid P...jadel- pltla.” ;'*• ■

G e o lo g y an d J e r s e y C o astThe annual report of the state ge­

ologist 'has recently been published. In addition to the administrative re­port, which recounts briefly the op­erations o f the survey, .-. and-, ■which was issued early in tlie year for the Use o f the ■ Legislature, it contains a number o f papers o f more than ordin­ary interest.

“ Changes along 'the New Jersey Coast” is the title o f an article by Prof. Lewis »M. Haupt, an eminent 'hydrauilic. engineer, Jn whicli th^ suc­cessive changes -of eoilst ■■ line, par­ticularly near the'., inlets between Sandy Hook and . Cape ‘May, are trac­ed in -detail; The work o f the wayes and currents Jn shifting the sands is analyzed, and some suggestions are made to protective measure to pre­vent the encroachm ent o f the sea. A number Of maps showing the position o f the inlets at different periods, and half-tone Illustrations tit the features along the shore, aid much In making the report o f Interest.

M eth odist H om e lo r th e A g e d jTo the Editor o f the Ocean Grove i

T im es:— As much interest is a w a k en -! ed In the-M ethodist Episcopal Home for..the Aged, and many questions are | asked in regard to It, we thought a-.j few statements concerning its orig in ,! and purpose, might be interesting to j many o f your readers. • ’ j

This , people o f Monmouth cou n ty ,! and In fa ct o f the entire district o f i Ne:w Brunswick -have for som e tim e 1 felt the.n ecessity o f providing fo r ; suoh a Home. And the necessity was m ore keenly felt; when recently sev- / eral persons w'ho had spent many years in Ocean Grove, and ‘had gained the confidence .and respect o f all l who knew them , ■were obliged, reluctantly, to leave, the, place, (because they were no longer able to provide for them­selves, apd ther.e was. no. home pre­pared to open its portals to them.

Neighbors ‘.o f one , o f these: persons, talking the, matter over, were deeply m oved; aiid one whose name Is; not yet divulged, said: / •• "

“ I wish the work could lie 'begun soon. I w ill give my entire property to. the church to be used! for this pur- i«j.se after my decease, if they will a c ­cept it, and begin the work,”

This was In January, 190(1—one yeaar ago. In February the matter was ta lk ed ;over.W ith some o f thoibf-. ficiary of. St. Paul church. In March following, the1 matter was attended to as soon as the ' pastor returned from conference. The will was drawn up in legal- form , and ‘Dr. James W il­liam Marshall, and others, were hie Witnesses.. E. N. Cole, o f the Ocean Grove Association, and/ Ernest ; N. W oolston, the ;real estate agent, are named In -the wdll as executors. The property Is valued at • .ten . thousand dollars, 'and .was willed to. be used for a “ Hom e for the Age<l,” under, the auspices o f the Methodist TJplscopaf Church. • ,

.W ith such a nucleus the people at once responded and have been quietly preparing the way. A very encourag­ing meeting o f the board of trustees was recently held. The board organ­ized by the ■ election o f officers, and the appointment o f committees to ob­tain a charter, and other purposes ■necessary to the w ork in ihand..

The question is often asked: “ Isthis for OjQean Grove a lone?” W e answer: N o; It is for. all the Metho­dist , churches fn the county, and we 'hope also for all In the entire New.. Brunswick District.

BATTLE OF TRENTON REFOljCHT

, T h is T im e W in e F lo w e d F r e e ly B ut No B lood W a s S h e d

The custom o f celebrating the annl- .versaary >of the -battle o f Trenton with a public demonstration was revived at the state- capital W ednesday with such marked success as to give prom­ise o f its once more becom ing a. reg­ular feature. Until about a decade ago. it was the practice <to have ; a . sham 'battle portraying as. nearly as might be the movements o f General W ash­ington’s troops on the- memorable :nlght that he overcame the . Hessians 11nder Colonel - Stall, Gradually the demonstratlon ■ was abandoned, and with one1 exception the anniversary has been unobserved for many years.

The Princes o f. the Caliphs decided som e tim e ago to revive it, and met so ready a public response that W ed­nesday there were more than .three thousand men in a parade that tra-. versed . the principal streets o f the city, and met with an enthusiastic re­ception. ;• • ., ■;/ * . -.

In .th e line w ere the various local camps o f the Sons of. Veterans, the Princes o f the Caliphs, ■ six :.trihes o f the Improved Order o f Red[ Meh, six Camps o f Patriotic Sons o f America, counells o f the Junfor Order o f XJnlted American Mechanics,- Knights of IChorassan' and Knights o f Pythias, together, with delegations from va­rious local organizations. Floats indicative o f the victory o f Washing­ton and the Hessian surrender were also conspicuous In the demonstra­tion.-

The celebration was concluded W ednesday evening -by a public din­ner, at -which patriotic speeches Were made by prominent’ speakers. Gover­nor Stokes- responded to .; the: tbast “ Otir State," and 'Mayor Frederick W Gnlchtel 51^-^Our City.” , -

Francis. B. Lee 'had. fo r 'his theme; . “ W hy W e Celebrate Th is Day.” In the, course o f his remarks he drew a parallel between the cause fo r whiciv W ashington fought, one .red and thirty years ago, and that being waged by cltJizens o f the present day.
