PUPILS* MUSIC/OEThe pupils' recital given by\Mrs.

C. L. Plumb on the afternoon of De-cember 28th, • touched a high standarbVof mosical excellence, and Mrs. Gellatly'a delightful muaie-rooin waafilled with a most-appreciative audi-ence. The programme itself was unusual only in that it embraced nocommonplace numbers, but MrsPlumb's illuminating comments andexplanations, as each pupil took herplace at the key board, let the hearerin behind the scenes, so to speak, andshowed the serious parposa and broadideals of thai work of the earnest lit-tle group of students.

In a talk on "Touch and Technic,"Mrs. Plumb said in part: "All technicis mental, and when the abstraction!of muscular contraction and other badhabits ate eliminated, the avenue itopened and a free ar.d intelligent con-cept of a compoiltion may bo given.Beauty of tone through completemuscular relaxation must accompanystudies in constructive analysis andthe mental and physical effort simul-taneously stimulated." Too few lis-teners are able to come away fromconcerts with an ideal a* definite asthis little programme set forth. Eachpupil'seemed desirous of showing anunderstanding of the composition anwall as sympathy with the bigger sub-ject of music as a whole, ""studied,"as the teacher claimed, "apart fromthe limitations of one medluriCBu'chas piano, voice or violin, the mediumbeing too often mistaken for tbe thingitself." Tbe programme was as fol-lows: Idilio, Lack; Minuet, Lys-bsrg; Corlnne Belden.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHThe Woman's Missionary Society of

the ^irst Presbyterian Church haveorganized a study clasa to meet foreight weeks on Thursday, afternoonsat three o'clock, at the residence ofMrs. Joseph Conkling, 106 Milnstreet,:Mrs. Jeambey leading. Thetext book is "Tbe Conservation ofNational Ideals" and deals with thepreservation to our country of tbespiritual and moral standards whichour forefathers maintained as essentialto our national well-being in contrastto those which are taking their places,such* as Sabbath desecration, Mor-moniam, etc. It is essentially aHome Mission topio and will appeal toevery woman interested in the better-ment of our community's: life. Allladies of the town are' invited to jointhe CISBS.

The Woman's Missionary Societyof the Presbyterian Church have late-ly learned that- there ia_nrgent Jieedof help for some of the town's un-fortunate. If after the recent heavydemands upon them in the missionaryline, the good ladies of Cranford uponsearching their homes, can find anydiscarded garments, particularly warmoutside clothing for children and out-'grown shoes, will they kindly sendthem to the chapel Monday, Jan. 8th,to bo forwarded for distribution bythe Beneficent Committee of thev. L A : . •

Tbe Union County Freeholders areconsidering tbe question whether itmight not be well to employ the pris-oner! of the county jail at buildingand repa|ring roads. Jospeb Perry,a member of the Board from West-field, who is chairman of tbe JailCommittee, favors the Idet and de-clares it would result In a big savingof money to tbe county, 'as a substi-tute for tbe present contracting sys-tem which has been in vogue for manyyear*. ' According to Mr. Perry it isquite possible that tbe matter will beamong tbe first things. considered bytbe 1912 board.

. TOWNSHIP COMMITTEETrie ordinance providing for the

construction, relaying and repair ofcurbs and gutters, which was laid onV e table on Sept. 6lh, s/ter a hear-ing had brought out some vigorousoral and written objections from citi-zens, was taken up and pasBed un-animously at last night'a meeting ofthe Township Committee. A readingof the ordinance will show that itgives the committeu the same controlover curbs and gutters that it alreadyexercises over sidewalks, and there isno more reason to suppose that theauthority will be abused in one casethan In the other. Certainly in someparts of the town the presetvation of(heitreets-as well as tidiness demandsthat curbs and gutters be built, andno improvement can be expected untilthe work is done by legal means.

An ordinance- for the paving ofUnion avenue between Manor andChester places was passed on tworeadings, and Jan. 17th was set OBthe date for the hearing and ' finalpassage of the measure.

Considerable surprise was occasion-ed by the reading of a letter from theState Board of Health, fixing Octoberof this year as thu limit for etoppingthe pollution of the Rahway River utBricktown with Cranford sewage, asthe engineer had beon -told at his visitto Trenton that the town^ would btallowed a two years' extension. Noaction on tbe matter was taken.

The vacancies in tho Fire Depiirt^ment were filled by the appointmentof A. C. Vandemark and Arthur Kuh-tard as members, and Clarence Blake-slee as Captain of the Truck Co.

In view of tho early completion- ofthe undercrusBing adjoining tho river,the engineer was instructed to prepartplana for tho street that is to joinNorth and South avenues at that point.

Mayor Huina announced that incase arrangements coulu be made withWater Engineer Fuerties to be proBenta public meeting to dicauss thewater plant question would be held inthe opera house next Thursday night,aa it was thought the. town roomawould not accommodate the crowo.that would doubtless be in attendance.

A complaint by F. W.' Park thatthe sidewalk was obstructed byShapiro's awning was answered bythe statement that an ordinance forthe abatement of such obstructionswould be introduced nnd_pRsucd at anearly date. v

Organization for the year 1912 wfrreffected New Year's morning at 11o'clock, J. W. Heina >vas re-electedMayor, and was escorted to tho chairby former Committceman Smith.After duo expression of the work doneby bis retiring colleagues and of wel-come to Messrs.

Louis Hess'waB tuelectedlire chief and all the department menreappuinted except Walter Schwarz,.Jacob Schwarz and William Tunison.

The rates of pay i for labor weremade $2 a.day for a man; $3 for man,

•se and cart; $4.60 for man, teamand wagon.

The bond of the treasurer was fixedat $8,000 and of the clerk at $500.

The committees of the board wereconstituted as follows, the Mayor inea h caBe'being a member ex-ofncio:Police—Burtis and Scholea; Roads—Oroescber and Ryan;' Fire—Scholesand Droeecher; Finance—Ryan andBurtis.- Or. Vail was reappiontedTownship Physician.

At the end of the' tenor soloPrincess Oltary runs Into the pavilionand there changes her dress and ap-pears once more to dance before therajah and to prove herself the dancerho has known and loved In a cafe InParis. Letty Lane's dross In bis dancewas the classic ballet dancer's, white'as the leaves or a Illy. Stu> seemed toswim and float; actually to he breathedand exhaled from out her dim gown;and" the only ray of color In her cos-tume was her own golden hair, sur-mounted by a small coral-colored cap,embroidered In pearls. The actressbowed to tbe right and left, ran to theright, ran to left; glanced toward theDuchess of Breakwater's box; ac-knowledged the burst of applause; be-gan to dance and finished her pas aeul,and with folded hands sang her song.Her beautiful voice came out cloaran crystal water from a crystal rock,and her. words ^were cradled likedoves, like boats on the boundlessseas. . . . I I ,

"From India's coral strand. , . .•'But there was no hymn tune to this

song of Letty Lane's In "Ma'ndalayl"To the boy lu therbox, however, thewords, the tuno, the droning of the,8168 on tho window pane, the strongodor of the hymn books and panamafans, came back, and tbe clear sun-light of. Montana seemed to'steal Intothe Oalety as Letty Lnno Bring.

Tbe Duchess of nrcaktvatcr clappedwith frank enthusiasm, nnd said:"She Js a perfect wonder, Isn't she?Oh, she Is too.bewitching!"

And she turned for sympathy to herfriend, who stood behind her, his faceIllumined. lie was amazed; his blueeyes ablaze, his head bent forward,he was staring. Blaring at the Oaletycurtain, gone down on the first act.

He laughed softly, and the duchessheard him say:

"Good! Well, "I should say sl)ewas! She's a girl from our town!"

When the duchess tried to share herenthusiasm with Dan he bad disap-peared. Ho left the box and with nodifficulty made his way as far as thefirst wing. ' -

"Can you get me an entrance?" heasked a man ho bad met once at Os-dene, and who was evidently anhabitue. ; ,

"I dare say.'. nippln- snow, liin't It?1'Dan put his bands on ducal shoul-

ders and followed the noblemanthrough the labyrinth of flies. (|

"Which of 'em do you want to see,old man?" ,

Dan, without replying, went forwardto a small cluster of lights in one ofthe wings. He went forward Intuitive-ly, and his companion caught his arm:"Oh, I say, for OodAi sake, don't go onlike this!"

But without response Dan continuedhis direction. A call page stood be-fore tbe door, and Dan, on a card overthe entrance read "Miss Lane.", thesmell of calcium and paint and per-fume and. the auxiliary hong heavy on

As he came In he felt bisears deaden, and the smoke of ciga-rettes grew so thick that he lookedas through a veil. The dancer wasstanding In the center of the room,.one hand on her-hip, and In the otheihand a cigarette. Her short silrtstood out around her like a bell, anaover the bell fell a rain of pinkishcoral strands. She wore a thla slip,from which her neck and arms cameshining out, and her woman knelt'ather feet strapping on, a little coralshoei •. ' . • • '•'•

Blair shut the door behind him,' andbegan to realize how rude, how imper-tinent his entrance .would be consldered. But he came boldly forward andwould have introduced .himself as"Dan Blair from Blalrtown," but MissLane, who stood at the entrancethrough tbe smoke, burst Into a laughso bright, so delightful, that he wascarried high up*, on the coral strandsto the very beach. She crossed herwhite arms over her breast and leanedforward as a saleswoman might leanforward over a counter, and with herbeautifully trained voice, all sweetlyshe asked him: •

"Hello, little boy, what V will you

IHalr giggled, quick to catch hermeaning, and answered: "Oh, choco-late, I guess!" . .-••' - ' • ••'

And Letly Lane laughed, put outher white hand, the one without thecigarette, and said: "Haven't1}- gotthat brand on board—so sorryl Willa cocktail do T All sorts in bottles.lflRKlns. fix Mr. Blair, a Martini."

As the dresser rose from her stoop-ing poaltion, the rest of Letty Lane's

"Better take yonr scarf, Letty.Hand It to Miss Lane," he directedHlggtns.' "It is so damned drafty lathese beastly wings."

The explorer,. Erland Nordensklold,In the course of an ethnographio andarchaeological exploration of Bolivia,in 1908 and 1909, found districts In-habited by Indiana who are still liv-ing In the age of wood and stone. Bfccause of -the scarcity of stone In theChaoo region, the natives of the banksot the Pllcomayo river do not possesseven stone implements, but employbone and hard wood as the materialot knives, saws, awls, needles, and

PAPER PUM* OP SUPAB CAMEOne of Onatast Problem* «f Mtrean-

tile World 8olv.d by RecentOiscovariM in Trinidad.

One ot the greatest-problems thatare brought before the mercantileworld for consideration as a result ofthe rapid, decrease In the timber sup-ply 1B the discovery of a fitting sub-stitute for wood pulp In the manufac-ture of paper. A short time-ago wepublished a report of the French sys-tem ot making paper pulp from vines.The latest suggestion, however, Is theutilization of sugar cane, and as faras It baa been tested It has appearedIn the light of a genuine solution.

The planters In Trinidad havefound that they can add enormouslyto their yearly profits by raising theircane and treating It with the specinoobject of turning It Into paper, withthe manufacture ot sugar aa a mereside issue. The process which theyhave now adopted makes It possibleto use all the fiber ot the cane forpaper and at the same time to getmore sugar from It than by any ofthe old methods. The United Statesconsul aU. Santiago moreover reportsthat the manufacture of paper fromthe cane Is exciting considerable In-terest and some Investment in all thesugar country and an American com-pany has Installed special machineryat Preston on Tripe bay.

The machinery will separate thepulp from the fiber. The water Iseliminated and the pulp and fiberdried with all the elements ot sugarstill in them.. The pulp and fiber are-handled separately and the sugar ex-tracted so that the fiber is not brok-en. ' High grade paper can be made•from the fiber and from the pulp resi-due a coarser product Is turned outwhich has a commercial value, whilethe duality of the sugar is in no wlsoaffected. '

SHAKER FOR CEMENT SIEVESPennsylvania Man Designs Convenient

and Rapid Device for MakingFineness Tests,

A. D. Gates, Bureau of StandardsTesting Laboratory, Northampton, P a ,describes In Engineering News a con-venient and rapid mechanical shakerfor cement sieves designed by him,which IB being used In making finenesstests on cement for the Panama canal.It Is shown by the drawing herewith.

The machine is composed ot a wood-en board resting on rollers, which areattached to a steel frame. , The boardIs reciprocated by a pitman attached

Cement Bhaker. a i

to a 16-lnch pulley on a 1 Inch crank-shaft The pulley la driven by a beltfrom a' small motor. The board, onwhich the sieves and collecting pansare placed, carries .two blocks of woodfor each sieve; theBe are cut to 4%Inch radius, or larger than that of thesieves, and are set %-tnch off center,so that when, the apparatus la in op-eration the slev6 is shaken well.andat'the same time 1B rotated. Aroundthe outside of each collecting pan isattached a piece of felt, so that Im-pact with the board may be deadened.

The reciprocating part has a strokeof 2 Inch. Its speed is 200 strokes perminute. Sieves ot standard- size areused.

Mr. Gates claims that one can make75 complete fineness tests in a day. byusing the machine, while it would re-quire six men to make the same num-ber obtes ts by the hand method. Itrequires about 15 minutes to make thetest on the 200 sieve, and 5 minuteson the 100 l l eve , making a total of20 minutes per set ot samples, or anaverage ot 6 2-3 minutes per sample.Further, the results obtained with themachine are more uniform than thoseobtained with hand shaking.

New York.—Cures by means ottelling the physician what the pa-tients think or blm are among thepossibilities In psycnanalyals, says theMedical Record.

Dr. E. W. Scripture of this city, wbobaa been working on Dr. Freud'smethod of studying the condition otpatients through their talk anddreams, recounts some ot his experi-ences.

One of bis patients, when asked totalk Impromptu, made such remarksas "Doctor, you always wear a collarwith turned corners," or "You partyour balr on the right side."

"1 pointed out to bun," writes tbephysician, "that those thoughts werenot about me personally, and tbat bewas merely putting me off In ordernot to express what «as really In bismind. Finally be reported to me tbatIt occurred to him that tbe doctor wasa very timid man. 1 explained theprinciple as tn tbe preceding case,and' be at once told "a long tale ofsuffering from Intense timidity—a Buf-fering almost beyond belief—that wasthe rain of bis lire. After the resist-ance bad once been broken-down tbethoughts came freely and 'the curesuccessfully proceeded."

Another patient reported as Im-promptu thoughts that the doctor'shair was getting thin and thafbe wasbeginning to be stout, This waa tberemark the patient made to Dr. Jung.The doctor discovered there was notn.Ing ot th* kind aa far as .fie was con-

cerned, but that the patient was wor-ried about himself and bis own ad-vancing age. .

Dr. Scripture Is one.of the physi-cians In this country wboSbas madea spedRl study ot dreams In their re-lations to certain nervous states, andbe finds also that tbe study of thesevisions is helpful In directing tbe cor-rection of character. One young manwas constantly reporting tbat In hisdreams he attended! receptions andvarious public functions- and. theremet many celebrated people. Inquirydeveloped tbat tbls young man was sobashful that In bis waking hours beran away from everybody on sight.The physicians, on learning tbe na-ture of this sensitiveness, were en-abled to help the youtb overcome bisnatural timidity.

To Give Baby Shows.Ch5easo.-r-To prove to ridiculing men

that suffragists can raise children, asone of their main purposes, membersof the Illinois Equal Suffrage sssocla^tlon havo~pl8«fied a "county1 fair" atone of the leading hotels, at which themain feature will be a baby show. Aprize ot $50 will be awarded to theprettiest-baby. . '

To Pension Widowed Mothers.Boston.—Several thousand women

in this state are behind a.movementfor the passage of a law wherebywidowed mothers may receive a pen-sion to support, themselves and theirchildren without having to call uponcharitable institutions. The move-ment was started by the Massachu-setts Congress of Mothers.,

• The w«fH«i»m»n who baa beamwearing a top hat and a frock cc*timpressed all who saw him with hisdistinguished appearance as he stroll-ed about with an expansive air in on*of tbe more expensive hotels. OnWednesday moxnlng h* cam* up to ad*rk. ) ^

The clerk told him that the Urn*was unusually short, but b* would dowhat be could, and the shirt was de-livered on time.

H* came down Thursday morningand said ha wanted another shirtlaundered, but that this one must b*back by two In the afternoon. Theclerk said that would be too short atime.

DOCTOR PRESCRIBESCUTICURA REMEDIES

"I wish to lot you know ot a coupleot recent cures which I have made by.the us* of the Cutlcura Remedies.Lost August, Mr. of this citycame to my office, troubled With asevere skin eruption. At first I couldnot understand the nature .ofli the caseuntil I had made:a careful examina-tion. I finally traced It to his occu-pation, as he was a painter and deco-rator. It was dermatitis In Its worstform. It started with a slight erup-tion and would affect most parts othis body—thighs, elbows, chest, backand abdomen—and would terminate In,little .pustules. The ltchlng^knd burn-ing was dreadful and he wojitd almost 'tear his skin apart trying to get re-lief. I recommended all the varioustreatments I could think ot and be.spent about fifteen dollars on prescrip-tions but nothing seemed to help him. •

"In the meantime my wife who wascontinually suffering with a slight,skin trouble and who had been tryingdifferent prescriptions and methodswith my assistance, told me she was -going to get some ot the Cutlcura'Remedies and give them a trial. Herskin would thicken, break and bleed,,especially on the fingers, wrists andarms. I could do nothing to relieveher permanently. When she first ap-plied the warm baths ot Cutlcura Soapand applications of Cutlcura Ointmentshe saw a decided Improvement and Ina few days' she was completely cured.

"I lost no time In recommending tbe -Cutlcura, Remedies to Mr. , and '•

~thlfl-wasrtwo months-ago.- 1 told him—to wash with warm baths of the Cutl-cura Soap and to apply the CutlcuraOintment generously. Believe me,from th* very first day's use of theCutlcura Remedies he was greatlyrelieved and today he Is completelycured through their use. I have greatfaith In the Cutlcura Remedies andshall always have a good word forthem now that I am convinced of theirwonderful merits." (Signed) B. UWhltehead, M. D., 108 Dartmouth St.Boston, Mass., July 22,1910. AlthoughCutlcura Soap and Ointment are soldby drugglBts and dealers everywhere.a sample ot each, with 32-page book,will be mailed free on application to"Cutlcura," Dept 7 L, Boston.

Course in Kindness.We believe that there should be a

course In the public schools, allgrades, devoted to humanity—kind-ness; the rights ot four-tooted and?feathered flocks.

Yes, we are improving, but we wantthe. world to move faster—and weplead for school education that willteach the' coming generation to b* . •kind to animals and all birds. ' . '

MR. LAKEVS BIRTHDAYOne hundred and fifty townspeople,

, (all that the bouse would bold) spentlast Thursday evening at the/birthdayparty of Charles D. Lakejr, who inspit* of-hla 80 winters, was just aayoung aa anyone present and just asyoung aa he used to be. Tbe agree-able task of telling Mr. Lakey whatbis fellow-citizens thought; of himwas discharged by Dr. Greene, withthat pouiM cafe of truth and humorthat makes all of tbe good clergy-man's seeular utterances so bappy. Hesaid: ' /

My Friends—I have been atked as•---, 'a feature of this happy occasion to

sound a note of friendship and goodcheer. We are met together not prl[parity for the/purpose of making a

, test of Mlis Lakey'i Pure Food, butto extend our mlghborly greetingsto our brilliant host and his brilliantdaughter, and to rejoice with themthat another milestone hss been reach'ed ta> life's journey by the head ofthis home circle.-

/ It was Dr. Holmes, 1 believe, who,on the seventieth birthday of Mrs.Julia Ward Howe, referred to her inbappy phrase as being "seventy yearsyoung." Very aptly we may applythis expression to Mr. Lakey: he Isnot eighty years Old to-day, buteighty yeara Young. It seems to methat he is one of the youngest menfor bis yeara of any person-in the clrela of my acquaintance. The wordsdescriptive of Moses may well be applied to him: his eye is undlmmed,and bis natural force unabated. Hen-ry Ward Beecher once said of hiafriend Dr. Chapln—they were bothlarge men—that he was like a pump—large, but hollow; while he declaredthat be himself was like an oak tree—solid right through. It seema to methat Mr. Lakey is like Mr. Beecher inthis regard; he is solid right through.And speak Inn for myself, althoughMr. Lakey is as much as ten yearsolder than . I am, I should dislike tomelt him in a boxing bout in a bigamphitheatre in Rlno. 1 am sure thatha would prove to be Jack Johnson,and I the other fellow, whose nameescapes me. I fear that his flat onjny bead would be much like a Pitts-burg trip-hammer bitting a pumpkin.I do not make this remark because Ijudge that there is likely to be anyreason for our ever getting into afistic encounter—unless we shouldhappen to discuss the momentous andtimely question of international peace.Hlaeye is keen and his muscle ap-pears to be bard. .

I confess that I like theae largemen. To be sure there is an elementof truth in the homely couplet,

"Little head, little wit,-.Large hoad, hot a bit,"

but surely a large brain requires alarge bead, and also a large heartrequires'• large house to live in. Andcertainly Mr. Lakey is a man - of un-doubted intellect, and what is better,he la « man with the possession of alargo heart. His mind Is a picture-gallery, well stored with the memoryof literary masterpioees, which eannot be stolen, as Mona Lisas can bestolen from tbe art treasuries of theworld. His memory of beautiful se-lections from the poets is marveluus.I have been repeatedly amazed at it.He thinks in pictures; bis mind doesnot move along the narrow paths ofmere logic. He is also a roan of veryrefined feelings, or sensibilities, andbe la exceedingly tender-hearted. Heia as gentle as a kitten, in spite ofJila massive port.

We may well apply Browning'swell-known lima to our good friend :' Grow old along with me;The best Is yet to be,—The last of lite, for which the first is made."- Undoubtedly these last years are

bis best and happiest. Andj. may ho.have many more of them, and growhappier all the time I May he have«Mny more birthday parties. May weall be privileged to meet in this house,batting bithur Similar greetings oneyear from to-night. May God'n rich-es t blessings rest on the hesd of ourdear friend, and be multiplied in theexperience of those he loves." ..

Mr.' Lakey's response carried con-vietlon that be was able to meetall eomera In the arenas of brain andb«wn,-that In anything he under-i'"'takes be Is what the sporting people jcaH fit and ready. I<,. Tbe Ulk-fest was ended with vocal

CHRISTMAS IN BERMUDAWm. Vigelius, who In Spending the

holidays in - Bermuda, has forwardeda copy of The Bermuda Colonist,dated Dec. 27th, from which the fol-lowing account of Christmas in Der-

at that sumptuous board Is ready to j muds is taken: 'vouch, right hand up, that it was all Bermudas' Yules are always green

but as Is the case with other divisionsvery good.The occasion was

by friends who for various reasonswere unable to bo present.; The members of the Township Committee andother officials who were dining togeth-er in New York sent a Round-'Robintelegram that "We all send our bestwishes on your 80th birthday, and hopewe can repeat this for many yeara tocome." Dr. H. W.Wiley, a guestof the Lakeys on the occasion of-hisrecent lecture in Cranford, sent a pho-tograph with bis congratulation*.

A distinguished couple from' NewYork who attended the party were Mr.and Mrs. Nathan,. The dwelling wasgaily decorated wl b Christmas greensand there! was everything to indicatethat Mr.l Lakey may look forwardto tho enjoyment of many more yearsof ja' green and vigorous old age>,

The 1912 edition of the Farmers'Alaroanc has been received from Oppublisher—our esteemed townsman,Charlea 8. Littell^-and we note withswelling bosom that it has copied andgiven National circulation to thefollowing poetical paragraph that ap-peared in the Chronicle a. few yearsago:

Little drops of water poured intothe milk, give the milkman's daughterlovely gonna of silk. Little grainsof sugar, mingled with the sand,make the grocer's assets swell to beatthe band. Little bowls of custard,humble though they seem, help enrichthe fellow selling pure ice cream.Little rocks and boulders, little chunksof slate, make the coal man'a fortunesomething fierce and great. Littleads, well written, printed nice andneat, give the joyful merchants homeson Easy street.

duly recognized I of the Empire, the Christmas seasondoes not fall in the midut of summerand the traditional dishes of turkeyand plum pudding are seasonable ad-ditions to the bill of fare. To thesereminders of their country's originmany of the divisions of the Empirewide as the world itself, add theirown peculiar local dieh. Bermudahere lays claim to csssava pie, andthough the name of the originator islost, we hold that||nn upstanding toastto her memory should be includedamong those hallowed by. sentimentand custom.' Cassava pie Is trulyworthy to rank with tba dishes oftradition, and to Bermudlafls its namerecalls many a pleasant gathering offamily and friends. The recipes forits concoction are as numerous as thosefor turtle soup.' Every cook seems tohave her own special way of dealingwith the ingredients, but the result?are on tho whole equally pleasing.This probably arises from the factthat such cookery is not a matter tobe lightly undertaken but must beseriously approached and those whoexcel in these two dishes have gone along way towards securing the localculinary blue riband. But we mustnot let the contemplation of theChristmas dinner as known to Bermuda be too engrossing. Thoughquiet was the general note, the specialattractions provided at the hotels weremuch appreciated by all who werefortunate enough to be present atthese festivities. Boxing Day passedoff very well indeed, entertainmentsare more plentiful than -In formerdays, and the various shows at theColonial Opera House and elsewhere

-It's all very well for girls who areengaged to rely upon linen and kitchenshowers, but maidens who have notyet reached that happy condition canoccupy'their waiting time by stockingup a hope chest.

A GOOD RECORD -The executive officer of the Forest

Park Reservation Commission, H. B.Kummel, has collected during; thefiscal year ending October 31, 1911,$2177.52 of which $2021 24 was paidSB penalties by violators of tbe forestfire law. Of the. latter 'amount$1866.93 was turned over to the treas-urers of townships in which forestfires occurred. Tiie State forestrylaws are thus working In a way topunish those who set fire's in theforest and at the sama^ime to relievelocil treasuries oif a large part,.ofthe expense of putting out such fires.

This is a very practical answer tothe oft made charge that a law intend-ed to restrict the setting of forestfires can not be enforced, That NewJersey's law is enforced is clearlyproven by the above figures, and bythe further statement that in no leasthan in 264 cases during the past yearindividuals or corporations, chieflyrailroads, were penalized for causingforest fires. The organization bywhich these .results are accomplishedunder the Forest Commission consistsof a state firewarden with four as-sistant, or division, firewardens- eachof. whom Is in Immediate charge of asection of the state, and of a propor-tion of the 239 local firewardens whoissue brush burning permits, look outfor the forest fires, and call out mento fight thorn when. necessary. Tbetotal net cost of tbe fire service tothe townships is less than $6,000 ayear whllu the state spent last year$10,000, and is prepared to spend dur-ing the current year $15,000 if somuch shall be necessary. It looks likeagcod plan for the state to carry theItreater part of the cost while eachcommunity huars enough to give it avital interest in .maintaining an effi-cient service.

N. J.tGentlemen—On behalf of the Township

CoromlttFts an* the. inhabitants of thrf Town-ship of New Providence, I be* to call yourattention to a condition the relief of whichIt seems should come from you. You areremoving dirt from the road whlrh you ars•ordio*- kadlnc to Hi* Tuberculosis Sana-torium and the carters are placing ths sameon the bank* of "Bonnie Burn." and ththalf dozen or more tnicfcs tinM in convey*tcff the dirt havs cut Pltlnfleld avsnotfrom the point of the new road to the Ful-lerton Rrldvt«. oil to plrcca, and the samewi!l soon beeem* Impauabte. § W ° D o t k n o i r

but what with others you nave a perfectlight, to UF« the road for .(•Kit.mate par*poses, but tfie condition confronts us all:

First—Tbe road is vcrr narrow.•Second—The carters are upllltng ths dirtThird—We are able to ralao only a trifle

each year to keep our twenty odd miles ofroads In repair, $300 bring tbe total appro*prlatlon of the township for ths year.

Fourth—It In the main artery from tbtPanalo Valley to Plain Held and Is used « -ieaslrely by automobiles, which we welcome.

Firth—The automobile license money 1*pasted orer to ths various counties., anfl Iam Informed thst Union county receivedI3.O00 this rear.

•txtltH—ToAr pnrchaM of ths •anatortnmbaa taken away from us a- largt measureof ratablrs upon which we collected a taxof about U00 a year, which through yourownership baa now been cut off.

Seventh—Plat nil eld avenue Itself Is light-ed by electricity at the expense of tht town-ship. It U the desire of the people of thatownship that this road be made Into a coun-ty roal or a Slate aid road, whatever 70aare pleased to call It, at as~ early a date atpossible, believing that such a road willfacilitate both your Interests and tha later*eats of .'the people and of those who passthrough tha township from Plalnfleld aadelsewhere to ths Psvsalc Valley. Any propo-sition, however, to build a road which willadd anything to the taxes of our townshipwill not be BRUB factory to us.

I trust that your board will take up thisnatter for Investigation and give 1t your at-tention or repair the damage which yourworkmen are now dolor, and oblige.

Toon very tru.y,WILLIAM JEFFERT,

ODD "MONARCH OF THE GLEN*

In a grove of pine treat near Atlan-ta, da., stands the curious oak treehere pictured; The odd form intowhich it hat crown resembles veryclosely the head ot a deer and It haiattracted much attention. A prom-inent stock' broker or Atlanta thoughtthat It was on hia own land, and trans-planted It to hit lawn. The real own-er of the tree, after discovering hiaIota, advertised for Ita return, andwhen it was discovered.on the lawnof the man who takes possessionof It, there was quite' a row.

SOME FACTS_ABOUT TREES, The tallest trees In the world are .theAustralian , eucalyptus, which attainan altitude of 480 feet The biggestare the mammoth trees of California,some of which are 176 to S73 feet inheight, and 108 feet in circumferenceat the base. From measurements otrings It la believed that certain ofthese trees are from 1,000 to 1.600yean old. The oldest tree in the worldto said to exist on the Island of Cos.off the coast of Asia Minor. It Is severa! thousand yean old, but Just bow

' many no on* baa dared to say. Thetree Is carefully preserved by a wall«f masonry round It, and tha trunk is10 feet In circumference.

But there-are parts of trees In theform of useful timber which are evenolder, probably, than any on the•tump, yearns In old buildings arepreserved today which are knownto be over a thousand yean old. . Pilesdriven by the'Romans prior to theChristian era are perfectly sound to-day. and it is known that they have

, been; Immersed in water for upwardof J.000'years.

COMB OF PAPER.The paper comb la a novelty which

baa made its appearance. It la madeof smooth finished, hard cardboard.The teeth are coaree and far apart,but it is quite useful for combing thehair. The paper comb la one to beused onco and then thrown away. ItIs designed for travelers, for use Inpublic baths, and In various otherplaces where now. might be foundcombs kept for common use; In auchplaces these combt might be fur-oiiBhed by the establishment tree. ItIs not costly, the paper comb, put upIn a waxed paper holder, being sold atretail at one cent'

It is said that the European notionof wail paper was imported fro*China. Then* Its ornamental use torscreens, partitions and the like wasknown as early aa the fourth century.Authorities on this' subject assert thatit was Holland during her naval su-premacy of the sixteenth centurywhich first began to adopt and hangaround the wall paper Idea.

The early Chinese wall papers wereprinted from blocks, hand painted orstamped with" infinite labor and ex-quisite art They were mad* to order—produced In iheets ot varying di-mensions according' to the uses towhich they were- to be put The mod-ern rolls of wall paper with a continu-ous duplicate design were unknown.It was not until the Invention of themodern prinUnf and stamping ma-chines with cylindrical rollers that acontinuous conventional pattern waa_f a v o r e d * :.• , ' • . • ', |

As neither China nor Japan was acommunicative country during the be-ginning ot the commercial history ofEurope these wall paper Importationswere few and far between and con-siderably at a premium. Tet theysoon hit the European fancy aa agood substitute for the arrat and tap-estries of the time. -

Up to the end of the seventeenthcentury the Imported product waa pro-hibitive In price, however, and it waanot until the middle of the elghtenthcentury that it was really a familiar ,thine on the market. 'When the moth- {oda for printing and stamping wall pa-1per from blocks was Introduced bomChina each nation waa jealous of Itsneighbor in the wall paper trade andtried to keep Ita own proceaa a secret

Toward the end ot the seventeenth •century the English were the largestImporters of the hand decorated Chi-nese wall papers, but only for ashort time. As the demand Increasedthey began to perfect a process ot pa-per stamping and paper decoration toImitate tapestries, and with Improvedmachinery toon cheapened their pro-duct and popularized It all over Eu-rope. By the time of the Stuarts thearras of Shakespeare's era' was begin-ning to disappear.

MADE TO HOLD THE BRUSHESMost Useful Rack, Simple In Construc-

tion, Can Be Put Together WithLittle Effort.

This handy little brush-rack for thehall specially recommends itself onaccount of the simple way In whichit is made. The size most be governed

by the size of the brushes which are)destined to be hung upon It, and forthe foundation a piece ot wood abouta quarter of an inch in thicknessshould be procured, and the comersrounded with a sharp knife.

In the rack from which our sketchwas made the wood was covered withpale blue art linen. In the center ofwhich the 'design shown was workedin white flax thread. On either aideIn the upper part two small brassbooks (similar to those used for hang-ing cups upon the dresser) .werescrewed, and the rack was edged witha blue and white cord. At the toptwo small rings are sewn on. bywhich the rack may be suspendedfrom nails in the wall. A third hookmight be screwed on in the centerbetween the two brushes, and would,be useful for a cab whistle or a but-ton hook.'

FOR 1912.

Fads and Fancies.In spite of tha fact that lace frills

were so widely distributed last seasonthey are again featured to a surprisingextent : -

All kinds ot laces appear In differentparts of new dresses, and there Is atendency toward the biggest lacevogue known tor sometime.

..Fringe win be seen on nearly all otthe new costumes for afternoon andevening wear on house gowns, negli-gee, parasols and even on bats.

New Vogue for Pearls.It Is quite the rule now to see rows

of pearls appearing from Inside thecollar. Formerly, when pearls wereused, they wete worn outside the highcollar, but now a new style Is Inforce, and they are worn next to theneck Itself, and partly allowed to hangover the front of the collar.

This fashion seems to have come'into vogue because.of the well knownfact that pearls, in order to keep theirexquisite luster, should be worn nextto the skin.

RIBBON FOR THE THROATColor Relief Most Effective In Com-

This bow con-sists of two short loops and ends otthe colored velvet and depending fromIt are two three-inch-long ends of Irishcrochet insertion of the same widthas the ribbon and these ends. In turn,are tipped with squares of the velvetribbon decorated with Irish crochetroses. A second collar band of coloredvelvet ribbon of Inch- width has' twolong loops and ends elaborated, ac-cording to the shade of .the velvet,with sweet peas, rosebuds or violetsmade 'of silk, and a third neckpiece,,which Is tied whenever adjusted, con-sists of a long strip of black velvetribbon, decorated at both ends withcolored flowers created In lnflfllteslmajribbon work.

ORANGE RETURNS TO FAVORColor That Haa for 8om* Time Been

Discarded Is 8e*n In Fashion-able Garments.

An effective touch of orange Is al-ways striking with brown, and thishaa led to this color, which has beenso long neglected; being revived fortrimmlngr., especially In millinery andfor very lavish wear In evening dress.Orange colored gowns and still morecloaks of satin' or velvet are amongthe most striking notes of the season,acd particularly pleasing when a toneof peach shines through the bloom of*tbu deeped color and the garment IsbovQered. with, skunk or sable' orbrown toned marabout - * .. Purple and violet and all the shadeswithin this gamut of color are pecul-iarly suitable for evening wear. . Insoft cloths and velvet they look theirbest, and, combined with.-fur, purplemakes a regal garment One does notknow why It should be so. but thereIs special harmony Between purpleand alt''sorts" of fur. A chinchillapeIerin>K a stole of marten table, ascarf of ermlnej-all alike are moreopulent In effect on a background ofpurple than .with any other color, andthis It perhaps the reason why digni-fied middle age looks Its best In apurple gown-when far and lace areadded to the richness of color and thesolt.effectlvenets of material. .

TheProvince of Alberta, and also of Sas-katchewan, has. taken a vital InterestIn the Congresses which have beenheld In the past two or three years.The Province of Alberta, has madeprovincial exhibits, districts haveshown their products, and last year,several hundred dollars were taken Inprizes; this year the Province of Al-berta took prizes ten to one In excessof any state In the Union. Alberta -has won eight out of twenty specialcups, that province taking one, Leth-.bridge' one. Arthur Perry six, andJohn Baxter, Edmonton, carrying offone sweepstakes. When It came toa matter of location for the Congressfor 1919, the City of Lethbridge,which had put up a splendid fight forIt,- secured the Congress by a unani-mous vote. It la expected 'that theLethbridge Congress will be the larg-est yet held and will bo the biggestconvention in the history of WesternCanada. In-emphasising his Invita-tion to Lethbridge, one ot the speak-ers said he had Just received a tele-gram from Magrath (near Lethbridge)stating that of one thousand acres ofwheat just thrashed Hetbershaw andBradsbaw had thrashed 47,000' bush.els.

Violence and the Widow* * *B j LAWRENCE ALFRED CLAY

It was. ft natter ot (oaalp that Mr.Clyde Ternon, the sculptor, was tomarry the young and rich widow,Mrs. Ooleman, who had been out ofmourning for. a year or more. As amatter of fact, both principles In thecase had been congratulated by Inti-mate friends. The widow had blushedknd made .no/reply, and the gentle-man'had said'that he was too busy'to grant an Interview that day.

There was more than a grain oftruth In the gossip, but gossip hadlurried thing! along too fast It wasi case of-lore, but. love, except Inthose cases where an empty-headedNew York girl wants to buy a titleind e "critter" with it. can't be hur-ried. Then the whole business canbe concluded in twenty-four hours.Besides being yonng and rich, thewidow was called handsome. Besidesbeing fairly well off, the sculptor hadt fine face and figure, and a name inthe world; and among athletes he hadi high rank. He wasn't crasy on thattubject, but be needed exercise, andbe took it this way.

There wai one thing about thewidow he bad not yet come to under-itand. She had Inherited a terror ofrtolence. She bad fainted away atlight of two men exchanging blows onthe street A lame dog or a wounded

' bird brought out all the sympathy inher. On an occasion her only brotherhud been rendered Insensible by ablow from a ruffian. She classed ath-letics under the name of "roughbouse," and It,so happened that shebad neither read nor heard of Mr.Vernon'a "exercises."" The Informa-tion came to her with a great shock.

Through the newspapers she readthat at a high-toned club, where a"scrap1* had been put on, her admirer'had donned the gloves and knockedout Billy" the Terrible, who was aquarter of an hour recovering histerrible senses. What kind of gloveswere used'the widow didn't care, butthere was one thing sure—Mr. Ver-non miist be a brute to step forwardand hit Mr. Billy, a punch on the jawthat almost deprived him of his life.

She had read the sculptor as a manof refined and gentle nature, but shenow saw that those sentiments were

but thin veneer. The brute naturelay close to the surface. He mightuse his fists on the gardener—on thecook—even on her I She could thinkof him only with a shudder, and shecould think of TBe Terrible only assome guileless half-grown man whohad been cajoled into standing up tobe knocked down. /. _

It was a dainty little note Mr. Ver-non received a few hours later at. hisstudio, but it had a sting to It Thegolden cord, if golden cord there badbeen, was broken, and the" sliver bowlwas mashed flatter than a pancake.The two were to be strangera hejwe-forth: Yes. he was, reading the daintylittle note that sealed his doom whileone of his club friends.was saying:

"Clyde, old man, that was one ofthe prettiest punches I ever saw. Howas about to swing with' • his leftwhen yon crosBedryour right, and, oh,Lord?, how he sat down and snored!'"

"Yes—ahem!" replied,;the sculptoras he laid the note carefully aside.

"She'll have a husband that canprotect her."

"Yes—]ust _ so."'Tye congratulated .you once, but

- Would Mr. Vernon answer thenote? Would he call and ask the priv-ilege of making an explanation? Cer-lalnly not No woman, except a prize-fighter's wlfo, could be made to be-lieve that boxing was not brutality.If the widow had -wanted an explana-tion she would -have asked for It—even demanded I t And so it camenbout that the gossips-bad anotherthing to talk about They BBked eachother vrhy, but no one could tell.-Thenearest that any one tot to it was tosay that there, was another woman inthe case—im o)d love-.wltbVwhoin thesculptor had.uuarreiei *«tid7»ade] tip

a widow does in town. There is so-ciety and ther« u shopping. But whenshe goes out to her country house,what then? She wants a rest and shegets It In part by going fishing, it thelake or river or creek Isn't too faraway, she may give it up for theday after a nibble or two, but she basrested and had time to think ol manythings. It was so with the WidowColeman, After her trunks had been'Unpacked and the servants had set-tled Into their places she took poleand Una and went through the woodsto the creek. She fished and shethought She fished and she medi-tated. She fished and she felt Irri-tated and annoyed. .

That's a woman's way. She wlUgive a lover his conge in the mostemphatic terms, hoping never to seehis face again, and then get mad be-cause he doesn't come around andshow it the day after. When theWidow Coleman dispatched that noteshe fully, expected the sculptor tocome rushing to the house within anhour. When he didn't rush she ex-pected a note • In reply. No note. Shewaited two months and then flew tothe country. She carefully suppressedthe fact of her, going from the. col-umns of the society Journals, but atthe same time told some ono whowould bo sure to tell Mr. Vernon.Two weeks of fishing and thinkingand sighing, and no Mr. Vernoni Shedidn't exactly say out loud that Mr.Billy, the Terrible, could go hang, butshe thought i t - .

And down at the house one after-noon, while the fishing and thinkingwere going on, an Italian tramp ap-plied for food and was refused It Hewent out of the gate muttering andthreatening, and caught a chicken Inthe road and started up through thewoods to roast and eat It '

As he found a spot to make campbe caught sight of the widow, fishing.Here was a chance for revenge, andperhaps plunder. He got down onhands and knees and crept towardher, but while he was yet yards awaya stick broke under his knee and shesprang up to take in the situation andscream out and then tall In a faintWhen she recovered consciousnessMr. Vernon was bending! over her andsprinkling water in ben face.

He went in, and with her soft fin-gers she bandaged it, rejoicing thntit was only a lively scratch. Whenthe dressing was over she looked himsquarely 4n the eyes and asked:

tseted by "Ballet Proof Oath"—Friend of the People.

Shanghai.—Yuan Sht Rat, called"the strong man of China," toward*whom the eyes ot all the world todayare turned, has been offered thepremiership by the throne and thepresidency by the Republicans. It Ispointed out that at the time of theBoxer, war. Yuan was the one man inChina who could command the respectof foreigners and, at the same timeunite the warring, Chinese, . .

Yuan accepted the premiership, eon*aldering -.. It the best opportunity tobring about poace. A few days afterhe had assumed these duties he toldhis friends that he had thought thesituation over carefully and con-cluded that there is no hope-of sav-ing the Manchu dynasty and that*change of government is Inevitable, -

Yuan Is said to be of lowly birth,meager education and superficialknowledge. He has never traveled be-yond the borders of his own countryand he speaks no language but hlisown. -His countrymen Bay that thestrength of his appeal fto them liesin the fact that he Is quite generally_and firmly believed, throughout theempire, to be patriotic. -

His deposition; from power forthree years, 1908 to 1911, was due tohis having repeatedly compelled theManchu princes to relinquish certainrevenues which they were using forprivate purposes, that he might havemoney to build up the army and toInstitute reforms In the schools. Yuanalways seemed to have la mind someultimate' benefit to the people atlarge, regardless of the personal wish*es of the ruling dynasty.

The Incident that brought Yuan totile notice of the crafty old empressdowager and the admiration of theforeign diplomats occurred while he

;, ..- Yuan Shi Kal. ,v ;,/•;';

was mayor of a small- town in theProvince of Shantung; The Boxermovement was strong and many ofthe most reputable Chinese were on..the verge ot Joining it, when Yuan de-cided that Be must take an Impressivestand against the fanatlca.1 ascendencyot this secret order. V -

One of the tenets of the Boxer faithwas that participation In the rites olthe order rendered a person Immuneto the effects of bullets. They be-lieved tho "foreign devils", could nothurt them with their guns.

When Yuan was invited to Join theBoxen he dlvnot dare-refuse, andhe did not wish to accent, because hesaw defeat ahead for* them. - .

"I wni Join with you," he said,"upon one condition—that yon proveto me you cannot be harmed by for-eign bullets."

The. Boxer committee agreed to thetest, and one enthusiastic Boxer stoodagainst the wall of the mayor's gar-den, to be Bhot at by Yuan hlmseliwith a new model Martini-Henry rifle.Yuan smiling explained that this lestwould settle for all time in the mindsof the citizens how unimportant wasthis boasted power ot the 'foreigndevils. :

The Boxer leader was reverentiallyentombed at Yuan'* expense andprayers were said over his grave fox100 days. - " -

This Is the man of nerve, cunningand: diplomacy who is being calledupon In China today.

"Mother Owes to Bobert•Tlvo cents for running errands."Five cents for being good."That evening there appeared beside

Robert's plate a paper upon which waswritten:

"Bobert owes mother, for years ofhappiness, nothing; for nursing himthrough long Illnesses, nothing; for do-Ing good to him, nothing."

Thoroughly ashamed of himself,Robert ran to mother, threw his armsaround her and sobbed:

"Mother, I will do everything I canfor yon after this, and ril never askyou to give me anything but JustIove."'-Omaha World-Herald.

Thrifty Harry Laudsr.There are many stories told-of the

Wonderful thrift of Harry Louder, tbeHootch comedian. Once when- Louderwas in New York, be was In n winehaying party at the Astor. Everybodybat the Scot bought wine. When Itcame bis torn to buy he sighed.

"Well, boys," he said, "it's my turnto treat. Come along .with me. I'veKot a line bottle of old Scotch up in-myroom. I brought It over with me."

On another occasion bo was with.adrinking party and Instead of liquor hetook cigars, for which those who treat-ed him paid 60 cents apiece. Harryput all but one In bti pocket. He spenttwo hours smoking that one. After thedrlnklnf was over tbe little comedianwent'to the cigar counter and said tothe man in charge, "I say, man, wudye mind givln' me ten cent cigars forthese'fatty cent onesr The exchangewas made, and Harry went to bis roomwith live times as many cigars ns hehad at the start.

8laep walking.Somnambulism has been a mystery

and a matter of discussion to the med-ical profession since tbe days of theancients. They knew as' well as weall now know that there Is sucn athing ns somnambulism, or Walking Inthe sleep. They attempted to explainIt just as modern medical science hasbeen, endeavoring to explain It eversince. But as It was then so It Is now.There are- so many explanations thateven the physician is puzzled to decidewhlcfi to accept. ' .

Floating Homes For Flying Fish In the'.Sargasso Sea. ' ." , \

Bclence la beginning to know a good4

deal more than It formerly did abonttbat strango "drowned meadow" Inthe Atlantic ocean southwest of theAzores which is called tbe Bargassosea. *v^

It Is. as Is well understood, a'vastaccumulation 6f>a kind of seaweedwhich, upheld at the surface of. thewater by innumerable little air vesselsthat act as floats. Is-continually re-newed by the breaking up ot Its frondsand the growth of the broken parts.Many fishes bave established theirhomes In It as well as numerous swim-ming crabs;' small cuttlefish and quitea variety of other creatures. ' ' '

Most remarkable of all Its inhabit-ants Is the mouse,flab, which has pec-,tornl fins developed in such a way as

.to resemble arms. By these It holdsQn to the fronds of the -weed, a crea-ture of solitary habits; highly carnivo-rous and always waiting for someprey to come within reach. It la afish of very peculiar appearance, withever so many queer looking appen-dages, and In color it imitates closelytbe plant that affords it shelter, beinggreen with white spots.

Tho flying fishes that Inhabit thefloating meadow make bnll-Uke nestsout of" fronds of the weed as big astwo lists. Such balls are found float-Ing and appear as if knit togetherwith elastic threads. They are filledjWlth eggs. Professor touts Agassismistook them for nests of the mousefish, but Dr. Theodore GUI, an emi-nent authority, has proved, this to havebeen an error. Each one of thesenests Is composed of a single frond,which by commencing with the slen-derest outer bra'nchlets and peelingthem" successively off can be spreadout entire.—New York World.
