IrrtaK Bohwara Sentenced.A fine of ( i s and costs was the penalty

Impose! by Judge Cutler, on Monday, onIrving £.' Schwars, of this city, for thetatter's set-to with J. W. Kirk, also of thisolty, some montbsago. Schwars has appealedto the Supreme Court There have beentwo trials already as the outcome of tbefracas in Snyder's barber shop, on Biackwellstreet, this city, in which Schware, havingarst called Kirk a liar, followed It up strikinghim, for which he received a severe trouncing.Bchwarswas arrested at tbe time and finedby Recorder OsgelS and costs for disorderlyconduct. A charge of. assault and batterynude by Kirk led to Schwarz's indictment bythe Grand Jury and when the case was indue time tried the. Jury, after being out allnight, failed to agree. When, however, thecase was brought to trial for the second timeit tooi the jury only SO minutes to Sod averdict of guilty, whichnwiU, it is surmised,waa made possible by the shrewdness of theCounty Prosecutor In having the trial begunand ended on tbe same day, thereby pre-venting any tampering with the Jury. An:appeal from the verdict of the jury wasmade by Schwa't's Counsel on Monday,before sentence was Imposed,.and denied by,judge Cutler. It is reported that tbe costalin tho case up to the present exceed $100.

Entitled to Preferment.Candidates are springing up in every sec-

tion for members of 'the State Board ofArbitration, writes "Freeholder" in the NewYork Prcu, but none hasappeared with moreBubstantialclalms to preferment than WilliamH.Cawley.otSomeryiUe. When the Rebellion!occurred Cawley, then 10 years old, went tothe front for the national honor, although he'could not be accepted as a soldier without his1

uiottoor'8 pemilinlpn. Tbls was given- reluct-,antly, and In the battles that followed youngiCawley ivas wounded five times. Bis honor-)able rcrjid was fittingly recognlnd by the'General Wadswortti Post of Bomerville,'which made him its commander. For manyyears Cawley has been.a. Republican leader in1

Somoreet, arid through his oftorta Senatorlieed and Awenibljman Van Doren carried1

that county against; popular rlvalB. Both Itsrepresentatives are now urging the Governorto name tbe brave war veteran on one of themembers ot tbe Board of Arbitration.

JefTerson's Republican Cauous.The Jefferson townBhlp Republican pri-

mary for the nomination of candidates forthe respective township offices and tbe Boardof Freeholders was held last Saturday after,noon at the Woodport Bouse. At the ap-pointed hour not far from 200 voters (rarepresent, yet despite tbls large attendance thegreatest unanimity prevailed and nomina-tions by acclamation were the order of theday.

The primary was presided over by John F.Woods and the secretary waa Township ClerkA. J. Frelz. Charles Hopper and GeorgeCallahan were appointed tellers; whichoffices proved sinecures. T6e preliminariesout of the way, Hosts Bpencer, of* LakeBopatcong, named Freeholder Jobs DSmith, to succeed himself and tha halfhundred voices shouting, "I second thenomination," were so many encomiums wonby Freeholder Smith by bis services in behalfof his constituents. A motion that the nom-ination be made by acclamation quicklyfollowed and thb secretary was directed tocast the ballot.

Next came nominations for . townshipoommttteeman, vice F. B. Delaney, whoseterm expires. There bad been considerablepressure brought to bear upon Mr. Delaneyto induce him to stand for the office again,bis services baying met with the approval ofall, but he was firm In his refusal to agaiiaccept the office and clinched the matter byhimself placing In nomination, the name ofFred Matthews, of Berkshire Valley. Therewere a number of "seconds11 and the:nom-ination took the ssfme course as tbe proceed-ing one, Secretary Frets casting the ballot.

Olber nommaltooi niaua tt\aoU> alMay-i.tlon, were:

For Justice of the Peace, William Coble.For Commissioner of Appeals, Moses

Bpencer.The following resolutions were adopted

Jersey Clt^ *• Water Trouble*.Jersey City- IF meeting with no, end of

trouble in its efforts to secure a permanentwater supply. When propon's were la'tweek received by that city none was sub-mitted by the East Jersey Water Comp.ny,which company Is popularly believed to ha'a monopoly of all the available potable waterin Northern New, Jersey. Ine'sad, thatcompany tent» «o*rp protest Intimating thatif Its claim It not ooostdertd than will to n ocontract. < '

Now tbe Morrts Canal and Ranking Consp-'any, which it lotlmaUly coODectad with theBast Jersey Water Company, hat tent awirnlng- ts follows:

The Morris Canal and Banking Companyand rt-ir lessees, the I^htab Valley HailroadCompany, raspectfully osll your, attention tothe no7 ttist MMne of the b m f or a Desr wataraupplv for your cl<y, prrsenteil on Februaryw r W b T t h e RocVawaysuid Hudson Compony, by 'Patrick H.

Bald companies therefore respectfully re-onstrate and objrct to tour making any

cntract which would involve the net of thosewater. (

We refer particularly to the waters of theRotkaway river and Its tributaries, and tbewaters of the Fompton river and its tribu-taries offend in tome of the bids above men-

Your attention Is called to the decision- otthe Supreme Court of the oats of Van Reipuagainst Jersey City, reported In W Vroom,pars 283, wherein it wasadjodloated that tbeexisting statutes do not authorise Uw takingof the waters of the Morris Canal.

This protest affects the proposals of thethree competitors for this contract, st> taohclaims to control strains or parts of stnamtthat are claimed by the canal company atfeeders for the canal, and It is probable1 thatno contract can be awarded without a lawsuit.

Tbe Supreme Court, in the oase cited In theprotest of the company, maintained that tbewaters of Uw Morris Canal could not bediverted without legislative action, and thishas not been secured. One of the biddersoffered to supply water from the upperRaritsn, but its right to take the water isdisputed by the city of New Brunswick.

o r Interest to PubllsHers,Among the bills Introduced in the Legisla-

ture is one by Senator Daly, providing forthe publication of the laws in the newspapersof the State and repealing tho act ot 1895,which provides for the publication of lawsIn pamphlet form. The act provides thst all1

the newspapers of the State ot t t least twoyears' standing and published not lets thanonce a week, shall publish tU the strictlygeneral laws and the laws affecting their own1

localities. Laws ot a temt-afecial character,•hall be published onljin the locality affectedby such bills. It also provides that only suchpapers as dp the actual work of composition'hi their own offices shall be eligible to pub-lish the' laws, and fixes the rate of com-pensation at sixty cents per folio, the sameat for present legal advertising.

There is little likelihood of the adoption orSenator Daly's bill.

The lobbifcB were filled Monday evening withdelegations from various secttona of theBtate, and every effort was being madeto push measures of legislation to aconclusion. Members are getting theirbills out of committee as fast aa pos-elble and thfi calendar Is cleared withgreat rapidity from day to day. It isgenerally recognized that in the rushof the final days unexpected obstaclesto the progress of a bill may arise andthe bill be lost In the whirlpool whichengulfs a whole raft of embryo lawB atthat stage of the session.

Firemen, Police, Teachers.The firemen got In their bill this week

for a state home for the indigent, agedor disabled members of their calling.This in the result of a number of con-ferences held by representatives of theFiremen's Belief association. They donot ask for an appropriation, but havedecided to use for the purchase of thenecessary building the moneyB now re-ceived as a tax and license from fireinsurance companies and which moneyshave heretofore been distributed amongthe local firemen's relief associations.From the same fund enough will bedrawn to support the Institution, unlesspart of the necessary moneys is fur-cfah&d through beuutsts, z'Xtz tuul thelike. Bird W. Spencer, Benjamin W.Cloud, "William M. Jeffries, William T.Corliss, Charles N. Reading, John Mc-Kiernan, William H. Brown. George T.Werts, Egbert Seymour, William S.Hancock and William Bettle are ap-pointed as commissioners under the act,and when they have completed the se-curing of a home and equipped It thegovernor ia to appoint a regular boardof managers consisting of one firemanfrom each congressional district, thepresident of the New Jersey State Fire-men's association and the state bankand Insurance commissioner. ThlB billwill doubtless be put through withoutopposition, since It is generally desiredby the active and exempt firemen ofthe state.

The policemen who desired the estab-lishment of pension funds In their re-spective cities were not so lucky. Thisbill was so dismembered by amend-ments In the senate last week thatwhen It came up for final passage yes-terday Senator Ketcham said the po-licemen did not care for legislation that1

practically gave them nothing, and bytheir request he had the bill recommit-ted. This will be the final resting placeof police pensions for this session.: The teachers' pension fund came nearrunning up against a Bnag thlB week.A bill reorganizing the organization hadbeen attracting little attention tlli.ltcame up on final passage when Presi-dent Bkirm asked the meaning of the91.B00 appropriation It contained. .Sen-ator Vreeland explained that this wasfor clerical expenses incident to themanagement of the fund. PresidentSklrtn wanteJ then to know if this wasan entering wedge which waa to markthe beginning of a line of appropria-tions which would grow with the years.Senator Stokes took the floor In theteachers' defense,. He recited the factsleading up to the formation of the re-tirement fund, how the teachers foryears tried to get the.state to pensionthem and how the state answered theirreijuestB with a refusal, offering, how-ever, If they would organize and makeup a fund of their own that the state•would manage it for them. He saidthat was exactly the situation now.The teachers made up the fund by per-sonal - contributions and accepted thestate's .offer to hold the moneys, re-ceiving them and distributing them.To do this required some clerical serv-ice, and of course the' state should foot<he bills. The statement' satisfied Pres-ident Sklrm, but not Senators Barber.Braiin and Packer, who voted in thenegative. The bill passed,: It has yetto pass muster In the house. '

' The Investigating committees are notmaking much progress. -The one appointed to look Into the affairs of Hud-son county now announces that it willbegin to take testimony the latter partof this week. The other, which was

. named for an Investigation of the build-Ing and loan societies, Is apparently Inno hurry to get to work, and somedoubt Is expressed as to whether therewill be ah inquiry at all. The commit-tee refuses to act till the legislature.provides an appropriation, to meet allIncidental expenses. The legislaturethis week passed a bill providing forthe payment of the expenses of theHudson county committee. A bill wasIntroduced In the senate yesterday pro-viding for the appointment by the gov-ernor of a building and loan commis-sioner to make an annual examinationof all the* loan associations In thestate. His salary is to be provided byassessment on the associations. .Thesecorporations, it Is generally agreed,should be subject to some sort, of offi-cial'supervision.

The situation with respect to thegame bills alluded to last week is stilluncertain. - Chairman Engie of the sen-ate committee says one stumbling blockIs the objection of many farmers to beprevented from killing at any time of.the' year1 rabbits, which destroy theircrops. The committee thinks favorably,of tho bill requiring nonresident gun-ners to pay a $2 license fee. It is alsoabout decided to'make certain open sea-

,.;S*Jbs,-as follows: For squirrels,; wood-cocks,, partridges or pheasants. Oct. 15,to Jan; 1; quails and rabbits from Nov.

. 10 to Jan, 4; reed and rail birds/marshhens and snipes, Aug. 25 to Jan. 1. The

',','committee will, have another confer-'-• -•nee or two before reporting.

Petitions are pouring Into the leglsla-"1 ture from branches of the W. C. T. 17."ji various towns of the state favoring• the bill to prohibit the licensing of sa-loons within 200 feet of a church orschool. The bill'had been slumberingIn committee for some weeks,1 butthJstombardmentof: both houses with petlrUons may force It .out and to a vote.At present, many municipalities have

The BO c»JIed union label bill passedboth houses'*under suspension of the;rules yesterday/7 This Is the act which.mused such a lively time In the senateiaat week. Senator t>aly introduced itand wanted it put on the calendar at

jnce, explaining that the measure wasintended to meet the objections to theaxisting union label statute which thestate courts hud recently declared un-:onstItuUuiial. The bill was in the in-terest of the labor and trades unions,which sought through it the legal rightto stamxi all goods manufactured byunion men HO that those who desire mayhave an opportunity to patronize suchgoods, to the exclusion of scab laborproducts. Senator \V. M. Johnson, theRepublican leader, objected to a sus-pension of the rules, and tills gave Sen-ator Daly a chance to discharge a lotof fireworks In glorification of the Dem-ocratic party as the only friend of la-bor. The tnutlun to sutpend the ruleswas defeated, und the b 11 took the usu-al course of going to committee. Sen-ator Daly was hot nil over and, as ameasure of retaliation, called the sen-ite's attention to the alleged underhandivay adopted by Senator W. M, Johnsonto get a railroad grade crossing bill onthe calendar by u suspension of rulesthe day before, although a similar billwas in committee. He claimed the pro-ceeding was irregular and discourteous.A. rather lively discussion followed, Inwhich the railroad influence showed Itshand, and Senator Johnson saved him-self from a probable setback by con-senting to have his new bill recommit-ted. Moreover,' the Republican senatorsmade it their business to show thatthey were not opposed to the union la-bel bill and pushed it ahead so fast thatwhen it came up on final passage yes-terday Senator Daly, Its Introducer, wasnot ready for it. He wanted it laid overtill the next sitting, but Senator Ketch-am pressed the measure, and It wentthrough with bells on, was sent to thehouse under suspension of the rules andwaa passed there also. Meantime bothof Senator Johnson's grade crossingbills still repose in committee. It Is un-derstood that the committee Is aboutready to report with an amendmentjiving the authority for ordering gradecrossings to the chancellor rather thanlo the authorities of the affected townsand boroughs, which, however, is notacceptable, it Is said, to Senator John-eon.

Mr. Benny has introduced In thebouse a bill looking to the consolidationof all the municipalities of Hudson:ounty Into one large clfy, a la GreaterNew York.

The dependent children bill, which IBppnv>?:fr:cr c r!?."<?trs5f<m fcetiv.'cn themanagers of the several children'sHomes in the state and the State Char-ities Aid society, the latter favoring it,has not yet come out of the senate com-mittee. It will be amended so as notto be mandatory on any county.

Various InterenlltiK Topics.Therewereseveral committee hearings

!h Is we ok. Among the Important meas, •ares discussed was the repealer of theDelaware dam bill. It waa advocatedby Senator Miller on behalf of southJersey fishermen, but was ably opposedoy a delegation from the Trenton boardaf trade. There was a further hearingan house bill 125, the Union county trol-«ley bill. John Kean, ex-CongressmanDunn, ex-Senator Vail and other speak-ers from Union county, advocated themeasure, which empowers countyboards to grant trolley companies thenecessary franchises. Chandler RIkerof Newark. argued that such powerihould reside only in abutting propertyowners. ..

There was a flood of patriotic talk Inthe house over house bill 45, prohibitingthe placing of any Inscription, deviceor advertisement on the American flag.Mr. Gledhlll deBired It amended so thatthe use of the flag-as a campaign em-blem shall not be prohibited. Messrs,Carroll .and Allen characterized parti*san uses of the flag as disgraceful.There was a sharp fire from both Dem*ocrats and Republicans, ending In Mr.GledhlU'a favor, the bill being recom-mitted. •

The bill to annex Wilbur borough toTrenton passed both houses, giving thecity about 6,000 additional populationand the Republicans an additional wardto strengthen their hold on the citygovernment.

Camden and Hoboken, which havebeen at daggers' points over a bill tohelp pay for street repaying, have.eachhad a bill passed to suit their respec-tive needs.

The house defeated a bill for, the ap-pointment of a state board of veteri-nary medical examiners. . -

A large number of bills passed eitherhouse.

There .was also a considerable numberof new measures introduced this week.Including the following: .

Providing for the publication of thegeneral Btate statutes in all newspaperstwo yearB old and atatutes applying tocertain localities to be published Inneighboring papers. ' . . .• The Erie railroad reorganization bill.

Editor Iron Era iDEAR SIB:—rS*# popular desire of the day

seeniB to be for novelty, and We are treatedto a decidedly new method of bookkeeping Inthe statement of J. D. Trowbrldge", the treas-urer of Randolph township.

His statement shows that he has receivedf4,UU.<i2 of towusbip funds and that hn haspaid out #1,0711.28. Now the query Is: whereis tlio »9,<m:H* he received but did not (upparently) pay out? He does not say. Andfrom h[s statement It cannot he reasonablyInferred—only that it Is gone. TH it possiblethat this amount of money should slip awayunnoticed by our township financiers?

Wo have a financial statement made bypublic officers entrusted with public funds,which statement, however, fails to be clearand complete. And why Bhould it not heboth? Men who soek places of responsibilityand trust assume to possess a degree of intel-ligence sufficient to fill those positions andthere can be no excuse for failure to 0o allthat the office requires,. .

Does the report give to the taxpayers whatthe law intended It should—a full and com-plete statement of township affairs? Whoare entitled to know bow the money is spent,if not those who contribute!

Now tt would fieem that the<e officials arenot doing their duty by their constituents,Yet some ot these same men are desirous ofserving the township again, w,hen they havebeen shown by past acts to be incompetent tonil these positions.

Would not the taxpayers be bettor servedif the officei) sought the men, and not themen, with great assumption of ability, posi-tions which they have demonstrated beyondquestion their inability to fill? A degree ofmodesty would be becoming and a more in-timate acquaintance of bookkeeping would bea finauclal blessing.

1 SADDATU AT SEA.ANCHOHED O*V NAPLES, I

FEBRUARY 20, ltiUS. fA. cloudy morning; some light rain. The

largest part of our number have gone on auexcursion to Mt. Vesuvius, whion is in plalusight of my port window.

The ship is loading coal and they haveclosed us up, so that we need to sit on deck.Six immense barges holding about 00 tens lieon either Bide. Ice is bring taken In iu im.meutn straw hampers. All kinds of fruitsvegetables, meats and poultry make the forward deck seem like a Bection of Fultonmarket. The lobsters are queer lookingspecimens. The greens look very fresh amiinviting. There is a sort or restaurant in aboat rowing about to supply tbo coal workerswith a hot lunch. The stewards are busygiving new linens to the rooms Some goodman said : " Cleaniness is next to godliueea.'iHere it seems not next only, but first. Wehave tried to keep the Sabbath uuder thesedifficulties—remembering the dear servicesin the home laud.

Mrs. Gibson received a letter from LIT sis-ter, Misa Prances Parsons, a missionary alJaffa, on this Sabbath at Naples, and I waulto send an extract.' Speaking of the girls ofher school she said : " I assure you that weare all following you with prayers and goodwishes every day and hour. The childrenpray for you much, and every day beg me totake them to the sea shore to see if your shiphas not;-come in. When they kiss me goodnight they whisper : 'The Lord keep youisister and bring her to you in peace.1 Sunday the six little girls with their teacher andI were In the Bohool room having Sundayschool and one of them said: • There arenine people in the room.' We asked": ' Howcan that be?' 'Why.' she said, 'Jesus andeight more.' But Jamelie said : 'No, if Heis dwelling in each of our hearts then thereare seventeen here.' You seo she countedHim alone and in us also; She certainly hasa very different spirit from what-alie hadwhen she came and we are trusting she mayhe truly converted. She was my naughtiestgirl until Bhe listened to Bible teaching."

Sunset IB proverbially beautiful in the bayof Naples, .but the clouda will hinder ouiview. There Is to be a great carnival tonight and our ship waits for those who wislto attend. Despite the inconveniences wehave great oause for gratitude in the mercletof thin Sabbath at Bea. E. A. 8,

• Vile Doincfttlo Problem.The home bas not made tho progroaf

that we Bee in overy othnr direction, MaryE. Green uflinns in The Clinutnuquan.Homes are still <. unsanitary, food Is stillwasted, our cooking has long been creditedwith crcatlng-a "nation of dyspeptics, andsewage 1B often so ill disposed as to brooddisease... Wo claim to possess a more ad-vanced civilization than at the beginninguf the century, when so many ot tbe in-dustrial trades wore carried on* In tbehomo. ' Vet tbe domestlo probluua Is moreIntricate than over.'; In tho days of-prim-itive1 simplicity there wcro. In nearly allhomo large families of children. In thehomo was carried on tho cnrdlng of thewool, spinning, weaving, dyeing and allof the knitting and sewing. Fruit w udried and.preserved, moat was ourod, soap*and candles,* bread and pastry, butter andoheose, all were home products. Bow busywere the women of thoso daysl And yetit Is only the modern woman who has ather command tbe loom and knitting ina-chlno of the factory, tho great packing,houses, buliorlos and dulripfl, tho hutchor,the baker, the candlestick maker, all wait-'Ing to serve.ber, who complains of lack oftime. This Is an era.of small and In toomany oases childless families, and toaortbo housewife's greatest trial Is this do-mestlo service < problem, which she Is un-able to solve. For this reason Is it tbat somany families drift Into boarding housesor become wrecked In a measure throughtho little annoyances of dally life,:: - The daughter no longer sborcs domestlolabor us formerly with hor mother. Thehousehold work Is done—after a fashion-by servants. So Bbe entors school wltbber brothers and later in life becomes theircompetitor In evory occupation open tomen. When this girl marries, as It IB morethan probable that sho will do, she Iswholly unfitted to enter a home as admin-istrator, and as a result the sacrifices bothher strength and nervous energy, ber hus-band's pationco and sometimes bis regard,end the health and comfort: of her chil-dren. Is there any other occupation onearth into wbioh people on tor far a termof service without a partlclo of preliminarytraining? ! The years are Btrewn with theheartaches, wreoked health and wastedenergies of just such women.

Von Eat Too Much Bait.Women are more likely to go to extremes

than men, even In the more mattor of salt-ing their food. The averago woman re-Baits everything set before her on the din-Ing table. Perhaps she wouldn't do It ifshe knew that so muoh salt inndo hor hnirdrop out, dried np her blood and sot berneryen on edge. All of theso things arecalculated to make woman look old beforeber time, ond every one knows that ago Istbe personal devil of tho BOX. Accordingto Tho .Journal of Hygiene wo nil use toomuch salt. It Enid recently:, "The use of salt as a condiment i8 60

general and so universally believed In asneooBBary that wo rarely hear a wordagainst It* 'excessive use, but thoro areamultitude pi porsonB who oat far too muohsalt; eat It on everything—on meat, flsh,potatoes, melons, In butter, on tomatoos,turnips and squaBbcs, In broad and on abost of foods too -numerous to mention.To so great an oxtcnt is it used thnt nofood la rollBhcd whloh hue not n salty tasto,an'rVtbla hides more or less thfi real tostc,which Is often very .delicate. Now, thoamount of salt required In tho system IBcomparatively Email, nnd If tho diet hasbeen rightfully compounded vory llttlo Innecessary.:, Some go so far as to discardIts usd altogether; but whotlior this is WIBOor not wo will not bore consider. Whataro Bbino of tho evils sf tho excessive useof saltf They aro to paralyze the nervesof taste, or to pervert them BO that theycannot enjoy anything which has net asalty flavor, and In addition, thoro Is ndirect tax on both tho skin and thokld-novs In removing It from tbo blood.Whether tho skin Is harmed by this tax wodo not know. Possibly It is not graiUyinjured, but It Is now protty well Bottledthat'rin excessive liso of salt does overtaxtho kidneys In Its removal, nnd thnt thogrout number of oases of dorongoinunt anddisonso ot these orsans Is duo to this use.It takes only a llttlo time to lenrn to enjoymany kinds of food without salt, nnd woadvlso our rcodors nnd others to look Intothis matter ond to try anil diminish tbouse of thlB oondlmont as fur as possible.Wo believe thoy will bo better for It.'

Tin Growth or Moral Character.' Tho child, whon ho coraos into the world,bnn overs-thing to loarn. His norvouB sys-tom Is charged with tondencloa to reactionand Impulses to motion, wbiub have their

survivals from ancestral experience. Ex-act knowledge, by whioh his own actionscan be made exact, niuBt come throughhis own experience. The experience ofothers must be expressed in toruis of hisown b«foro It beoomee wisdom. Wisdom,as I have elsewhore told, Is knowing whatit Is be fit to do next. Virtue is doing It.Doing right becomes habit if it Is pursuedlong enough. It becomes a "second na-ture," or, we may say, a higher heredity.Tho formation of a higher heredity of wlB-dom and virtue, of knowing right anddoing right, Is tbe basis of charaoter build-ing.

The moral character is based on know-Ing best, ehooBing tbe best and doing tbebest. It cannot bo built up an imitation.By Imitation, auggostlon and convention •olity the masses are formed and controlled.To.build up a man is a nobler process, de-manding materials and methods of a high-er order. The growth of wan is tbe asser-tion of Individuality. Only robust mencan make history. Otbora may adorn It,disfigure it or vulgarize it,

Tho first relation of the child to externaltbingB is expressed iu tbia: What can I dowith itP What is Its relation to me? Thesensation goes over ' Into thought, thethought into aotlon. Thus tbe Impressionof tbe object 1B built Into tbo little uni-verse of his mind, Tho object and tbe no-tion It Implies are closely associated. Asmore objects aro apprehended, more com-plex relations arise, but tbe primal condi-tion remains—Whatcan Idowithit? Sen-.nation, tbougbt, aotlon—this Is tho naturalsequence of each completed mental process.As volition passes over Into notion so doesscience Into art, knowledge into 'power,wisdom Into virtue.—David Starr Jordanin Popular Soionce Monthly.

' Bc*atlfyl&B the Feet.A contemporary points out one or two

facts regarding tbe feot that caunot bo toowidely known. We all know that our footspread and take It quite as a matter ofeourse,*but it BeemB that, after all, thereli no necessity for their doing BO, Theyspread because we do not know, how torest them proporly. Tbe feet do not prow,but by reBtlng them in the wrong way themuscles have been permitted to take awrong direction, and tbe foot flattens.When a woman finds that the Instep of tbefoot Is tired, ebe should ehauge her stock-ings for thin ones and put on Blippors, witha totally different heel from that of tbeiihoes she took off, either higher.or lower,as tbe cose may be. Thou she Bhould liedown, turu upon her faae and pluoe a pil-low uodor tbe insteps of both feet, w thatevery inch of tbe breadth of her feet shouldrest upon the pillow. When this is done,the foot Is at ease. ; Tbe muscles rest andstrengthen, and the beautiful arch of theInstep is.preserved. Possibly some may.think this is nonsense, but let tbom; trythe above plan of resting when very tired,and they will be Purprisod to find but howsuecoBcf ul It really Is.

PORT A1ORHIS.I don't know that anytodydied or got mar-

ried since I last wrote you. Everybody ispursulug tbe even tenor of his way, and if wedon't progress much we dou't go backwardany. "When I wrote you last week I thoughttbe ice business was wound up for the season,but they are getting ice yet at the terminus ofSam Johnson's railroad) which Is a mite orso beyond ttie office of the Forcite powderworks. Bufiiaeee called me up there Tuesdayafternoon.

Judging by the chunks of ice lying aroundthe conveyor I should think they bad Ice tosell up there. Come to think of it, that plantwas not built there for IUD, neither for thehonor and glory of the builder. The fewminutes I stood and watched them load iceinto box cars the conveyor seemed to workperfectly. It was a sort of endless chainarrangement with which/ given ice enough,and barrin1 mishaps, the men could loadtwelve cars In. what seemed a little while.They tell me they have shipped nearly 1,800car loads of ice up there since they beganThey have worked day and night and Bornetimes Sunday. They are gutting about 13inch Ice there yet and it looks comical to seethem rafting great squares of ice, so to speak,almost half a mile to where it is cut up InBtnaller squares and fed to tbe conveyor.Next season I bear they are going to bave abig Ice bouse up there and then they will beable to ship Ice In Bummer. Now they arecompelled to Bbip it about QB fast as they loadit into box core. .-They have been workingday and night lately and a few days ago theyshipped over 100 cars of ice from this placewhich WBB gathered at Hopatcong Lake.

They are talking of putting, building rather,a spur from Stanhope to Budd'a Lake on pur-poae to get the ice drop. The ice businessmust be pretty good and I think the switchfrom Stanhope to Budd'a Lake would pay.The ice on tbat lake is pure any way. Nomicrobes and things in it.

I bear they had a row of some kind over inStanhope last Saturday night, and "Wee,"Wright, who was trying to take tbe noisymen to tbe lockup—be is the Stanhope con-stable, you know—got tbe worst of it. Some-body, bit him over the bead and the boys,who were from Netcong, did not go to thelockup. Mr. Wright "went to bed to mendbis head with vinegar and brown paper *'inBtead.

I was afraid, while tbat Spanish war shipwas in the harbor of New York, that somehot-headed crank would try to blow her upby way of avenging; the terrible disaster tothe Halue, and I was glad when they saidunto me, " sbe has gone on her way rejoicingand unmolested." These are good times forAmerican citizens to keep their beads cooland level, and I am glad to say, tbat in spiteof a few craey fanatics, tbe American peoplehave been remarkably even tempered duringnil this war talk,' Let us be sure we are rightbefore we undertake to lick anybody.

TtiA Morris Canal Company made tho peo-ple who; filled Ice houses with frozen waterfrom their canal pay ten cents a ton for it[at least they made the butcher and storekeeperhere and .some people In Stanhope pay that.It is not much for each man but if you addall the people who get Ice from the canalfrom FbilllpBburg to Jersey City It amountsto a pretty sura In a year and tbe lessees ofthe canal seem to* be anxious to make all thepennies they can these days.:

I remember the first year they leased itthey tried to collect Ice money but the peopleraised such a storm about it that they did nottry it again until within a year or twoi

HOARD OF HEALTH,

Tho Provalcneo o r Sca r l e t lnn a sub-j e c t of Discuss ion .

Tlie persistent prevalence of *curlet fevtin tliiseity furnished tho principle topic f01•lUcusrion at tho regular monthly meeting otbe Health Hoard on Monday night. A nurntor of interesting communications bearing01the subject were read by the Clerk of thiBufird, Jo_.[ih V. Baker. A coaimuuicatiofrom Piinciua! J. Howard Ilulsart, in refer--nee to beveral cases of scarlet fever on Ger-man street, contaiued the following.

X tafce this occasion also to protest BRa'ast th,too ea rly raisins of tlio quarautioe and the rHurif cliildreu to school frouifamllk's where the fe^lias linen. We b»ve tb-m, usiiiliy witU a doctorcertificate, after nn absence ol only t«"O or tlfe.i-eekit.

CommiFsioner Clark was in perfect agreeraent with Principal Hulaart and suggestedtho adoption of an ordinance fixing the periodof quarantine in scarlet fever cases at twenty-eight days. Considerable discussion ensued,the need o( a stricter quarantine In scarleifever cases being admitted, but how to estab-lish a hard and fast rule that would not en-tail hardships in some cases was a poser. Thmatter was finally referred to the ordinanccommittee with instructions to report an or-dluance along the lines suggested by Com-missioner Clark.

In tho subjoined communication from Dr,W. E. Derry another explanation was offeredfor the continued prevalence of scarlefjna iDover. Dr. Derry's letter accompanied a re-port by him of a scarlet fever case which hbad been called to attend. I t read:

The present prevalence of scarletlna is doilbless duo to tlie fact that Borne coses are not re-ported because they hud no physician. I haveheard it rumored that there bare been cases wherethe parents have said that, the child not being'eerl-ously 111. they had no physician, because they tlier,would bfl quarantined- Consequently other cliftdreu from the Intected fatuity have attendedschool, and all members of the family have beetfree to go anywhere and everywhere spreadingcontagion. This Is undoubtedly the cause of tinepidemic in the south side school. The saultarjcondition cannot originate tbe poison. It may favoiIts prorogation. So that, II your Inspector bestiihimwelf and do a little dotectlve work, he wiprobably Qnd the Bource of the contagion la thtcaso herewith reported, inasmuch as this Is (hifirst recent case, to my knowledge, occurring ithat room. In case the source Is found the partiesconcerned should be so relentlessly dealt withthat Etmilnr conditions would not recur.

Tills case reported herewith attended the norlBida flohool, third grade. It occurs to me that In-asmuch as this child has not been with auy clilldren other than schoolmates It is probable ttotthe contagion was contracted at school.

' A third communication, which bore Indlrectly on the same subject as tbe precedUnones, was from Secretary Henry Mitchell!of the Stnte Board; of Health, being Iireply to a letter of Inquiry directed to thState Board by Clerk Baker In regard to thehealthfulnessof the Smead-Welles system oventilation ia us© ia the south side publicschool,

Secretary Mitchell wrote:TRCKTOM, February 0,1608.

This gave rise to another discussion, in Uwcour&o of which Chairman Peters took ex-ception to the substitution of any form ofearth clcset for the system of dipposal nowin use in the south side Bchool building.. ThWest Shore Railroad, he said, bad tried earllclosets In Etattons in towns where there wenno sewers and after a short trial had abandoned their use. The State Board's comirnmcation-was ordered filed. The BuUaUtutlouof a privy vault was suggested by Commis-sioner Grimm, who said that tue expeusevi-lved would probably not be great, but Dr.I. W. CoiidfRt, who happened to be present,volunteered the information Ijbnt. the 'prlvjvault at the north side school house, whiclhad been constructed while he was ametnbe'of the Board of Education, bad cost $600,This put a damper on Commissioner Grimm1

For a number of years this scheme wisatisfactory to the HoudP, but of late thipractice bus grown of incorporating rtv.and harbor items Iu other appropriation billsGeneral Grosvenor has emphatically stat<th^t the practice must stop, and the strouilanguage uted in opposition to tho idea woulseem to indicate that the end of the practiciis In sight. Many members are in favor <doing away with the river and harbor biland compel members to introduce sfparabills when they desire special appropriation!for the waterways tn their districts. Thwas the rule up to the early eighties, anithen some oni devised the scheme of incoporatiug all such bills in one measure, so thaa majority of the House would support it,unity of interest compelling it.

Sev«woro removed when Bparnon told the mentbat would be enough, but Mejesik thoughanother Bhould ba removed and the menitarted to remove it, This piece proved tcbe the key to all the rest, for whrn it hadbeen loosened the rest of the timber camwith it and Mejesik, Tetka and Srventi weredropped forty feet to the bottom of the slope.Sparnon at ouce called to Foreman JametFit<ce, who was working in the lower level,and he ran to the Blope, When he arrivedthere he sawTetka and Sweuti walking awadazed, but not much hurt. There wino trace of Mejesik. but a search revealed himburled under a heap of loose rock. Hodead and as there were no marks on his bodyIt Is supposed that his neck was broken.

[Oopjrigbt, 1803, hy Murat Holstcad.]IIL

After porting from Tho Atlas, -whichbore up the world for some months oafthen passed away as a temporary evening edition of the Cincinnati Gazette, *determined, to cat down expenses amlead an exclusively literary life, -withoccasional oonntry newspaper connec-tions. I had cultivated tho art of writ'Ing letters for $1 each to journals in tbcounty towns that cared ft linvft "OurOwn Cincinnati Correspondent" for aconspicuous headline to decorate thei:crowded and valuable pages. Tho pairons of this enterprise did not expeelmuch news, but they desired to have ilunderstood that they were in close con<neetion with tho metropolitan district,U one may be allowed so enlarged anexpression. One of my papers was theZanesville Courier, and 40 years after Iwas called upon by a veteran printerwho mentioned that he had set up thoseCourier letters and was pleased to makemy acquaintance. It was only fair totell him that if he was the intelligenprinter who handled that copy I owedhim the acknowledgment that he hadoften changed it, and, I believed, in thimajority of the cases for tho hotter. Horemembered muoh more of the lettersthan I did, and if any one should digthem onfc of the filos of 1'Jio Courier usawful examples I shall insist upon thotheory that as they were printed theywere what the printer, my old friend,was pleased to make of thorn. I had anincome from the papers outside of thecity that varied from $2 to $3 a week,and there loomed upon tho horizon thesplendid possibiltiieB of stories writtenfor the Cmoinnati market.

James Gordon Bennett's princely offerof $10,000 for a novel of 60,000 "wordsmade no unch sensation in New Yorkand all the Atlantic capitals as the an-nouncement that the Cincinnati Com-meroial had paid Emerson Bennett $500for "The Bandits of the Oeago" andthat he had written it in a corner of thocomposing room, scratching it off at ngreat rate as the ohaptors were doxnanded. This looked like the produc-tion of an indisputable artiolo of west-ern literature. It was in evidence thatthe Ohio valley might become the contral spot on the globe for the productionof polite letters.

(Whatever may bo said of literature,there were among the young men thenIn Ohio several destined to tho highestdiitinotions. They woro U. S. Grant,W. T. Sherman, Jhilip H. Sheridan, J.B. McPhereon, W. S. Bosecrans, QuinoyA. Gtfmore, Robert Anderson, JacobX>. Cox, Salmon P. Chase, Edwin At.Btanton, O. P. Morton, Lewis Wallaco,B. B. Hayes, James A. Garfteld andBenjamin Harrison and others eminentIn law and war, but it was not ia jour<nalism or in literature that their fame•waited them.)

The place wherein my literary laborswere to be chiefly performed was not re-vealed to mo at once. I dwelt for a sea-ton on Western row (now Central ave-nue), west side, opposite Court street,third Btory room back. I am particularu to the locality, not from a desire to

. point to one of my long ago obliteratedfootsteps, but because X roomed therewith two men whose names belong inJiittory—Henry Shombourie and OliverP. Morton. Sham bourio had beon a fel-low student during my last session atFanner's college. Ho bad returned fromCalifornia a successful gold digger and•pent his money In gaining an educa-tion. Morton was subsequently thewar governor of Indiana, and he andShambourie were working very hard inthe Cincinnati Law sohool. Morton hadbeen a judge and found that his knowl-edge of law was so deficient that he at-tended the sohool, and his efforts to im-prove his time- woro heroio. He in goodtime very largely influenced nationalaffairs, and hiB remarkable vigor &agovernor of Indiana was of a degree ofImportance in critical times it ia nowdifficult to realize. It was said of himin the boarding home that he had thebiggest hat and the biggest boots in thehouse and that he improved every wake-ful hour in study. Indeed, he was BOoverwrought that he got up in his sleep•aid walked ont of a window, fortunate-ly landing on a roof without a serious•hock, except to his mind. I was withMorton and Shambourie but a fewweeks, and when I next met the formerhe had just been defeated in his firstrace for governor of Indiana and wasprofoundly depressed, thinking his politioal ruin complete. I never D gain•aw Shambourie, who hurried to Kan-a u when the border ruffian agitationbroke out and was the first free Btateman well known who fell in the fron-tier skirmishes. He was shot from hishorse in the fight with Captain Titusand was said to have recklessly exposedhimBelf. He wan capable of that, forhe was of ohivalrons, daring and adven-turous character, and it was his deathamong other things in that associationthat aroused the historical spirit of

• vengeance in Ossawattomie Brown.

One of my grand passions wan for the)Ohio river. The facts that it ran nearly1,000 miles from the Allegheny monotain* to the Mississippi; that it drainedvaifc tracts of New York, Pennsylvania1

toid Virginia and drew tribute from,Korth Carolina and Goorgia, Alabama,!Tennessee and Kentucky, Ohio, Indianaand Illinois ( that its waters swelled the!Viflritaippi to the gulf of Mexico; that]George Washington bad been familiar!Wltfa'ito headwaters; that tho possession)

of its fertile bants Bad teen disputed;bj- tho white pioneers and the red menthat tho French had retreated -with its,current when Fort Duquesne became,Pitts-burg; that tho Indian invaders ofKentucky who had besieged Boonesborohad crossed it; th;it tho buffalo hadtrampled great roads to their favoritefords nnd swum tho river in crowdingniuUitndus, going to the Blue Licksprings that gave their name to theJacking that ends in tho Ohio oppositeCincinnati; that tho steamboatB couldfollow tho vast current, that was silveror gold according to the season, to theitidal waters—all these things -were notmerely matters of memory, but materi-als to be fused and molded agaiu intoother forms iu the flame of the creativefaculties and the air that gave theglowing colors of the imaginary totho paler pictures of tho historical.

I was not entisfied to live so close totho Ohio, the glittering highway thatwandered through the universe, withouthaving it tinder my eye and discovereda room in one of the buildings frontingthe landing and tho river, lively withpuffing steamboats—no. bridge then tomar tho ourreiit—the mouth of theJLicking opposite, and, beyond the roofaof Newport and Covington, the Ken-tucky hills. My new residence wasmeant to be a place for tho manufactureof literature. It was not a fashionableor, in a social sense, a popular part oftho city. It was remarkable for thenoise by day and the silent lonesomeness of the late houra of the nights. Thesteamers had their signs up for the up-per Mississippi aud the upper Ohio andtho Missouri, as well as for the lowerrivers. This was an approximation to aviow of the ends of the earth. The pil-lars of black smoke and white steamsent up through the chimneys and steampipes of the boats produced striking ef-fects, and the hoarse cries of the matesand the clang of bells gave voice to theenergies of commerce. This was just thetimo when the Bteamboat men were con'testing tho primacy in transportationwith the railroads and wero with suc-cess opposing the obstruction of navi-gable waters by railroad bridges.

My literary workshop was an apart-ment that was in tho daytime ocoupiedby an insurance office, and there WUB anobjection to a young man sleeping ontho premises. There was plenty of room,especially deBk room. Some office wood-work had been repaired with green tim-ber, and there wero two or three articlesof now furniture of the &amo kind; alsonew paper had been Bewared on overold paper, and there was unequal don-trnction in the paste owing to the rude-ness with which it had been applied.This was tho timo of day in the worldwhen the people of feeble wits, foreverscampering after signs and wonders thatare believed in certain stages of par-esis to convey ghostly feaesaages fromthe undiscovered country, had revela-tions that certain snappy sounds were aspiritual Morse alphabet through whichthe departed telegraphed to those whohad faith to receive and the skill andaptitudo to translate., There were moremessages received in Cinoinnati byspirit rappings than were telegraphedfrom New York.

I was not in the least troubled in thecountry about the bidden dangers inthe dark. My father ono night on theway from Hamilton to our home illuB-trated the theory upon which I thoughtit well to confront the mysterious. Hewas riding and trusting to bis horse tofind the way, for it was so dark thehead of the horse could not be seen.Suddenly a band reached from thegloom and tmatobed the bridle, and adeep voico said, " I want your money."My father was an armed man, and cook-ing his pietol, the click of the locksounding very sharp, he said, "If thisis a joke, let go quick," the emphasison the last word. The unseen hand "letgo" instantly, and there was a clumsyscrambling and heavy breathing, andnothing more.

I could hear the creepy- moan oftho river at night when the steam'boats wore asleep, and the great emptylanding half seen—for nooturnnj illu-minations were not extravagant—seem-ed as though something should be therebeside the faces of the bowlders. WhenI had put out .my candle and rolled inmy blankets one dull night—there hadbeen a chill in the air and more firethan usual in the grate that day—therewas ft queer snapping going on thatcommanded rny attention. There was asuggestion of system about it. I t wasnot confined to any spot, but was in thewall above the big lounge that WUB inybed. Then it was in a corner and againhigh tip on the other side of - the room.It struck me if there ever were such phe-nomena as spirit rappings the spiritsmight bo trying them on a skeptic I wasnot an agnostic, but an unbeliever, andmy favorite expression was that so longas the mosquitoes let me alone I did notmind the ghosts, and the thicker theycame the bettor I would like i t Budthey then como to try me?

I remembered the method of investi-gation, and mentally put the question:

Is there a spirit present who wishes tocommunicate? If BO, let'there be tworaps." There were two raps, suraenough. "Will the spirit kindly spellthe name as I repeat the alphabet—a-b-o d"—and there were half a dozenraps. Then " d " must be the first wordof the spirit's name, and I worked forsome intelligence and gotnoue untilsleep overcame me., When morningcame, there did not seem to be anythinghappening, and the snapping was goingon just the same, and I located it in thonew furniture and paper and there-pairs in wood. At any rate, my studioby the river was not haunted. The in-surance man in whose office I had adesk was one of those literary fellowshimself. Wheu he did not get insu>-anoe business enough to occupy him, hoconverted quires of paper into salablemanuscripts. They did not seem to mato bo giddy with genius, but they weraprinted aud in a moderate way paid'for. My frlqnd had read some of my!stories, and' he did not commend oncondemn them withont reserve.

How Now Je r sey "Was Divided Up.The earliest records that we have of thi

formation of counties iu New Jersey, saythe Freehold Transcript, date back to 1682,under tbo • Proprietors. The State theuconsisted of two separate divisions, namelyEast Jersey and West Jersey, which has beenkept up ever since by political traditionalthough long since abandoned for the pur-pose of government. Each division wasgoverned by u Board of Proprietors. Inthe East Jersey General Assembly createdfour counties—Essex, Bergen, Middlesex andMonmouth—and in 1CS8 Somerset waserected. The area of Essex then includedwhat is now Union County, and the latteicounty was not separated from Essex untilthe year 1857, having been a part of Essexfur nearly two centuries, Hudson waspart of Bergen.

In West Jersey Cape May * was erected In1085, hut the province hod formerly beandivided into three counties, which, however,were not well defined. Botith Jersey wasthen a trackless waste of sand and pine.IndianB abode in its wilderness and wreckerspiled their vocation on its coast. There wasvery little settlement, except in the vicinityof Philadelphia, and most of the populationconsisted of Quakers. In KJU3 the boundsbetween Gloucester and Burlhigton count!both near Philadelphia, were defined, and inICQ4 Salem, Burlington and Gloucester, onthe Delaware lliver, comprised the inhabitedpart of "West Jersey, all the rest beingindefinite.

Thirteen years later, in 1700, the bound-aries of all tbe counties in New Jersey werenamed. 1 hey were Essex, Bergen. Somerset,Middlesex, Monmoutb, Burlington, SalemGloucester and Gape May. At this time thepopulation of the State was less than-20,000,of which 12,000 belonged to East Jersey and8,000 to West Jersey. Holmes1 Annals give15,000 population In 1701. While the EnglishQuakers settled in Gloucester and Burlingtonthere wore settlements of Swedes and Dutchon the Delaware. Cape May was settler! byEnglish whalers. In Cumberland county thesettlers were Connecticut Puritans, and therewere nten torn* Jvtch /-Mtm. The Dutchspread over the terrluvy now embraced iiBergen, Passaic and Hudson counties, andthey found their way into the Raritan valleyand populated Somerset and Middlesex coun-ties. There was en element of Dutch also inMonmoutb. Danes and Norwegians wereamong the early settlers of Bergen also.Essex was settled by Connecticut Puritans,In ltiTO it waB estimated that the Indian pop-ulation of the State had decreased to about2,000.

In 1731 all the northern' part of the Prov-ince of East Jersey not contained In theexisting counties was erected Into the countyof Huuterdon, and In 1738 the county ofMorris was carved out of Hunterdoa. Aboutthis timo county lines became more clearlydefined, and Monmoutb included what is nowOcean county. In 1748 Cumberland wascarved out of Salem, and Butuex county,away up in tbe Highlands of the north, wasmade out of what Is now Sussex and Warren.It was not until 1824 that Warren became acounty. From 1634 to 1837 the process oferecting new counties became more frequent.Passaic and Atlantic came Into existence In1837. Mercer was born in J.838 and two yearslater Hudson was created. Tbe birth ofCamden occurred four yeans later, beingtaken from Gloucester, In 1850, Ocean wasseparated from Monmouth, and In 1857, thelost of the twenty-one counties, Union, waserected out of Essex and port of Middlesex,

It will be seen that the couuties having thelargest areas have generally the smallestpopulations. Atlantic, Burlington, Cumber-land, Ocean, Sussex and Monmouth, eachwith 500 square miles, cover 8,040.50 squaremiles. Essex and Hudson together coveronly 19J 20 square miles. The population ofthe six counties in 1890 was B4O,IB3 and thatof Essex and Hudson together was 531,324, ormore than double.

The proprietor: governments of East .andWest Jersey were surrendered hi 1703, andNew Jersey, became united under oue gov-ernment. The dividing line between thetwo divisions became thereafter only a prop-erty line. There wai uncertainty about thisline until it was definitely, fixed in 1878, andis to-day represented In tbe boundaries of toncouuties. It runs from the north side of LittleEgg Harbor Inlet to Boeheotont, crossing theDelaware River about one and' a half milesbelow Dingman's Ferry, This gave EastJersey 8,073 miles,. and West Jersey 4,722miles. • ' • M ••:•:.

Some Recent Municipal Gas History.Prof. E. \V. Bemis in the March Forum.The trend of public opinion in favor ofluniclpal ownership and operation of eleo-

trlc light and gas plants is unmistakable.The lease of the Philadelphia gas works, forhirty years, to a private company, lastNovember, after fifty-six years of publicwnership and operation, is an important

chapter in the hl-tory of this movement.Briefly, the facts of tile case are these : Theworks were inefficiently managed under pub-lic ownership; and the lease offers considera-ble financial benefits to the city for the nextew years .Dut the people of Philadelphia

were already beginning to see the need ofbetter management. The very week beforethe Councils leased the works, the people, by

great majority, voted $1,000,000 for im-provements of the gas works., That theywould have voted more, if a larger appro-priation had been desired by the Councils, 1BIndicated by the fact that they voted the

ime day $11,200,000 for the improvement ofhe water works, school houses, and other

public works. This appropriation, joined tohe increased popular interest In the gas*orkB, and tho growth of sentiment in favorof rauulclpal reform, prom'sed, in the courseof five or ten years still better results thanare offered by the lease. . The Councils, last

euibtit', voted down a resolution to sub-mit the question of a lease to popular vote,which, it waB generally believed, would havebeen overwhelmingly adverse to the lease.This same governing body, by accepting whatwas clearly far from the best lease that wasoffered, proved how little was the value ofits own opinion on any question relating tothe gas workB. Other wealthy and responsi-ble bidders offered lower prices and morebonus to the city, while otherwise exactlyduplicating the offer of the United Gas Improveinent Company. - '

The lease should be studied, then, not asevidence of the deliberate turning ot the cityagainst city ownership of a great monopoly,—which it was not,—but as a Btriking lesson ofthe benumbing effects on public ownership ofits mixture with private ownership, as hasbeen true for ten years {and a lesson^ further, of the difficulties that city ownershipmust face in this country by reason of the

spoils" system, and the readiness of themasses to follow those party bosses and

leading citizens" who fat* en on the demora-lizing relations between weak or corrupt gov-ernment and immensely valuable franchises,when in private hands.

With regard to English and Scotch cities,there Is at hand conclusive evidence that pub-lic ^ownership means even a lower cost ofoperation and more efficient service—as wellas lower prices to the consumer, or largerrevenue to the community—than is affordedby private ownership.

It appears thatalthough eight of the public-owned ptanui made gas of about IK morecandle-power on : the average than the tenprivate companies, obtained 27 per cent lessper, bushel lor their coke;—whioh is sold bygaa works as a by-product,—and made alarger allowance for taxes, they, neverthe-less, had-'a total expense account of onlyaO.Old., or about 46 cento, per thousand feet,at contrasted with 90 Md., or«,bout40.5 cent.,in the private companies. Again, iu the pub-llo companies there were no salaries of diroc-tjrs to pay. Further, the distribution expenjes were V per cent less in the public-ownedplants than in the private companies.

In view of the claim, too often well founded,that in America economies ot operation arenot KO well secured in: public i i in privateownership of • natural 'monopolies, - this evi-dence'of s contrary character ',from Englandis encouraging!

The Thing tor SpringIS

AVER'SSarsaparilla

The popular use of a spring medicine is founded on experience.With the coming of the spring season comes languor, debility, a "dragged-out" condition and a general lassitude summed up in the familiar phrase—" that tired feeling."

To Purify ffie Bloodfrom the gross effects of the fatty foods of winter, there is no medicine

• equal to Dr. Ayer's Sarsaparilla. It not only cleanses the blood, but re- .vitalizes it. It puts a spring into the step and a sparkle into the eye thatbetoken health. It restores the lost appetite, induces refreshing sleep, andreduces the liability to disease by neutralizing the conditions essential tothe development of disease germs.

Always Ask for, Ayer's.' • As a spring medicine during the months of March, April, and May, t know of no otlwr

preparation that can begin to comp«u» with Ayet's Sarsaparilla, It is the leader of leaden."W. A. WEISER, M. D., Bourbon, Ind. '

" I cannot speak too highly in pralae of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. From experience, I a atecommend it as the best spring medicine." - ISAAC S. SPARKS, Patsey, Kjr.

* I nave used Ayer's Stnaparilla in my family for yean and highly recommend it. Aaa spring medicine, it hal no equal." A. B. NICHOLS, Ellery S t , Cambridge, Mai*.

« Ayer's Sarsaparilla h u been a household companion In our family for yean. I take tt•very spring, beginning in April. It tones up my •ystem. gives me an excellent appetite*and makes me alaep like a top. At a blood medicine, It h u no superior In my opinloa.™

, H. R. WILDEY, Philadelphia, Pa.

•Ayer's SarupirUla b without an equal u a blood pnriSer and spring medicine, and - .cannot have praise enough. I have watched Iu effects in chronic cases, when othertreatment waa of no avail, and have been astonished at the results. < No ether bloodmedicine that I have ever used, and I have triad them all, b so thorough in ill action, aad•Sects so many permanent cures aa Ayer's SanaparUla." i ' ,

To invent nut! bring to perfection thoscore or eo of spoken eonmls which wo callBn alphnbet liava nrcved to bo tho mostarduoue enterpri6o on which tho IiumnnIntellect has ever been engaged. Itaachievement tasked tho genius of tho tlircomost gifted ruces of the ancient world. Itwas begun by tho Egyptians, continuedby tho Semites and finally perfected bytho GrcekB.

Writing began with ideograms (picturesrepresenting either things or thoughts),which afterward, dovolopud Into phonograms (tho graph So symbols of Bounds),Although our own writing has rcaohoc]tho alphabetic Etago, yot wo still employa number of photographic and ideographicsigns. The digits I, II, III stood us piolures of flrigors. The V was from tho tingen collected and tho thumb apart; VVor X roprosants tha two hands, whllo IVand VI are only plot urea of tho hand, wltlitho subtraction or addition of a finger.Ideograms 0,000 yours old, and which weire showing no possibility of improvingDn, ttro such printers' signs as tba indexexolamntlon and parnllol.

If tho bfetory of anyouoof ournlplm-betlo symbols bo'traced bad;, It will bitountl to rpso.vo itself ultimately into tinconventionalized picturo of some object.Tho lottor M, for instance, wns tho picturo of an owl, the conventionalizingprocess of 0,000 yoars having left only thotwo peaks, which nro tbo lineal descendMite of tho two oars of the owl, tit ill reto In Ing between thorn a not inapt rcprc-lentotIon of tho bcnlc, whilo tho vcrtlcnlitrobos nro all that remnln of tho outlinesof tbo breast,

Tho lotter F la derived from tho hornedEgyptian asp, iha two bars being thd sur-vival of tbo two boms, whllo the verticalstroke-represents tho body.

Tlio lotter Y descended from tho earaepicture, tho two horns and body beiuo; re-tained. Then, too, In those days thorowas a four horned nsp, which baa comedown to us In tbo letter W, the four Etrolioaneeossary to Its making representing thofour horns, although 0,000 years sccin tobore been a few too many for tho body,yot that of a Kansas grasshopper inny bofound supplemented by Ibo people 0,000fours from sow.

Tho lotter A was originally tho picturoof an eagle, Epypt being tho oagle's realhomo land, nncl H was tnken from n plo-turo of tbo humnn mouth. D was waivedfroig a picturo of the hand, nml so onthrough tho pictorial origin of all our lot-tors.

The immedlato parontapoof our Eng-lish alphabet Is roost d.ftlcult to deter-mine. By a scries of easy stops the formsof tho vor/ letters tbo roader sees boforahim on this printed pngo may be tracedback for somo 35 centuries. Thoso "Bo-tnan typos," ca they nro appropriatelyonlled.baro not varied appreciably in tholrforma from tbo types used ot Rome nnd

, Venlcobythe Italian printers of tho fif-teenth century.

Tbo puralcof all English lltcrntaro lagiving 20 letters on arrangoioent by whichthey will present somo new impression totho mind.

Many eccontrlo devices or llteraturo do-pend upon tho peculiar arrangement ofletters. Somo of these- havo flno sound-Ing names and nro recognized as fatuousrecreation's of tho loomed.

ELIAS HOWE.

JTlie Part He Played In the Arm] Duringtho Civil War.

When the civil war broke out, anmcubu meeting was held In Bridgeport,Coun«i und inuny men 'volunteered for thoarmy. To chu genurul surprise ono of thorichest men in the state, Kilns Howe, tboinventor of tho sowing xuaehinu, arosonnd niado tills brief epoech:

•'Every m.in is culled upon to do whatho can for his country. Z don't knowwhut I can do unless it Is to enlist andservo us a prlrAto in tho Union army. Iwant no position. I am willing to learnand do what I can with a inuskot."

But it soon proved that tho chronlolameness from which Houo suffered in'c&pncitntcd him from marching with amusUub, even to tho oztcnfc of standingsentry. Dotcrminod to bo of uso, bow-uver. ha volunteered to servo tho rogimontas its postmaster, lnossouger and ozpress-uion.

Seeding homo for a suHablo horse andwagon, ho drovo into Bultimoro twjco aday und brought to tho ennip its lettersand parcels. It was said that ho wouldrun over half tho stato to deliver a Jettorto Eomo lonely mother anxious for her sol-dier boy or bring back to him a pair ofboots which ho needed during tho rainywinter.

Far four months after tho SeventeenthConnecticut outuvud tho field tho governinont was so pressed for money that nopayment to tho troops could bo inado, andthoro was consequently great sufferingamong tho families of tbo soldiers andpainful anxiety endured by tho men them-selves.

Ono day a prlvato Goldlor came quietlyInto tho paymaster's offlco in Washingtonund took hla sent in tho corner to awaithU turn for an interview. Presently thaofllcer Knld:

"Well, my man, what can I do for you?"."X have colled to sea about the payment

of thoSovcntoonthConncctlcuV'anaweredthe soldier.

The paymaster, somewhat irritated bywhat ho supposed a needless and imperti-nent interruption, told him sharply thatho could do nothing without money, undthat until tho guvermnent furnished someit was useless for soldiers to coiuo bother-ing him about pay.

I I;no\v that tho government la inEtroits," returned tho soldier. " I havocnllcd to find out how much money it willtake to give my regiment two months'pay. I Qin ready to furnish tho amount."

Tbo amazed oflicer asked tho nnino ofhis visitor, who modestly replied, "EUusHowo." He chen wrote a draft for tho ro-quired euiu—(111,000, Two or throe dnygInter tho regiment was pnld. When Mr.Howo's nnitio was called, bo wont up totbo paymaster's dusk and signed the ro-celpt for §28.00 of his own money I .
