The Suburbs’ Choicest Gift

By T. C. HOADLEY

T was one of the ironies of Carlyle's life, the prophet of Silence, that the goddess eluded all his searches and wooings. Noises even the most trivial were palpable torture to him. When a \oung man studying in Ed-

inburgh he was driven nearly frantic by the howling of a dog beneath the win- dow of his lodging, and the years when he lived and wrote in London w'ere years of quest for silence. Noisy neighbors in Cheyne Row, Chelsea, where he lived, were bribed to give up chickens and dogs, and even to transfer their leases, leaving their houses vacant. One summer Mrs. Carlyle packed the philosopher off to Ger- many while a wonderful “noise-proof” study was built at the top of the house. Yet when the author of “The French Revolution” returned it was discovered to be merely a trap for every noise in the neighborhood—a gigantic collector of sounds and an intensifier thereof. His ideal w-as attained only in the last Great Silence.

Yet the noises of Chelsea, or even of London, in Carhle’s working life must have been trivial in comparison with those of a modern city. Each of the great civic improvements and conveniences seems to bring a louder, more discordant note to sw'ell the city’s din. Compared with the titanic complainings of the trolley, the old-fashioned horse-car was poetic—a sound almost to be ranked with sleigh- bells for musical quality. True, asphalt is less noisy than cobblestones, and the Sub- way is silent as long as one keeps out of

it. But street cries and hawkers’ noises never cease. No neighborhood in New York is so select as to escape the early morning yowds ot the homeward-bound roisterer, and if the streets were paved with rubber and populated by mutes there would still be the excruciating noises made b\ the people that live round about one. These are no more to be avoided or prevented than Fate.

In the suburbs six or eight months of the year are filled with beauty for the eye —foliage, flowers, opalescent skies, long stretches of country road to wander on, the garden, the moonlight and all the things that belong to country living. But the greatest gift of the suburbs to a worn spirit from the city is Silence. It is not a transitory summer gift, but lasts through the wdiole twelve months, being intensified in wdnter when the hush of snow is on the earth. Some of the agents of noise that make life intolerable in town are to be found in the suburbs, for the railroad and trolley, teams and bells are necessary to suburban affairs, in minor degree. But there arc no interminable, unrelenting walls and pavements to catch up slight sounds and magnify them. In the ample spaces of suburban towns sounds escape or come only as a muffled, even pleasant, reminder of humanity—a companionship instead of a torture. Sub- urban sounds are equivalent to that Si- lence, “the element in which great things fashion themselves together, that at length they may emerge full-formed and majestic.”

silent places one is alua\s alone. But to be alone, on the other hand, does not in- sure quiet. Perhaps neither Solitude nor Silence are valued highly by young peo- ple, but to the man or woman entering middle life—Life's real threshold—they are necessities. Silence and Solitude are among the solidcr advantages of subur- ban living that appeal to persons past thirty, where the sensuous beauts of Na- ture takes firmest hold on the young. “Nature has presented us ssith a large faculty of entertaining ourselves alone,’’ said Montaigne, “and often calls to us to teach us what we owe ourselves, in part to society, but chiefly and mostly to our- selves." Bacon found that “a crowd is not company, and faces are but a gallery of pictures, and talk but a tinkling cymbal where there is no love.” Keats may have

The Thin Red Line Between Health and Anemia

By JOHN BLACK, M. D.

N a city physician's practice it is quite common to find busi- ness men complaining of periodic headaches. Simple remedies are tried first by the victim, and when the malady fails to yield, per- haps powerful medicinal

agents in the form of headache powders arc taken. Drug stores are very con- venient. Time is precious. The patient hesitates to call a doctor, and compro- mises with the situation bv availing him- self of the temporary relief avadable in the onset of his trouble.

Eventually, however, the attacks be- come more frequent, occurring weekly or oftener, increasing in severity, until com- promise is no longer possible. Then the phy sician is consulted.

Sometimes headaches of this descrip- tion are an indication for spectacles, or a

change in those being worn. They are seldom, however, due to "stomach” or "bile,'’ as the patient believes. After eliminating improbable causes the prac- titioner usually diagnoses the case as anemia. Inquiry as to the patient’s daily habits almost invariably shows that con- ditions of city life prevent a daily walk to or from his occupation. Boarding a crowded elevated or Subway car uptown, he rides in vitiated atmosphere to his office every morning. Through the day, if called outdoors, he saves time by taking to street cars or cabs. At night he hurries home by the same conveyances, so that in the course of the week the num- ber of hours spent in outdoor exercise is almost nil. Habits of this kind soon result in a deficiency of hemoglobin. The tongue, on inspection, is not so healthful a pink as it should be normally, and its edges are depressed The complexion,

This thin red line, the difference of ashade of pink on a hemoglobin chartwhich the practitioner determines inabout the same way, and with as muchfine care, as a woman matching dressgoods, is an extremely important thing,for it indicates the difference betweenhealth and a lack of resistance to disease.Allof us are unquestionably exposed tocontagion daily in our complex lives, butnormal resistance brings us off safely.When there is a deficiency of hemoglobin,however, and a general anemic condition,this power to resist is not present, and theindividual is likelv to contract maladiesthat will permanently lower his vitality,or even result fatally.

indicating poor circulation, also tells the tale of anemia. But if there is any doubt in the practitioner’s mind as to diagnosis, a hemoglobin, or blood test, is resorted to. This is a simple operation.

Hemoglobin is the chief constituent of red blood-corpuscles, and furnishes its coloring matter. It is the agent for the reception of oxygen from the lungs, and its distribution through the body.

In making a hemoglobin test a single drop of blood is drawn from the patient’s finger, the lobe of his ear or any other convenient point, and absorbed by a small square of chemically prepared pa- per. The resulting stain is then com- pared with the hemoglobin color-scale to determine the percentage of hemoglobin that is lacking. This scale is nothing more complicated than a series of red tints, ranging from one, the color of nor- mally healthy blood, marked ioo, to a weak, faded pink, marked io. In extreme cases the percentage of hemoglobin pres- ent may be as little as 30, but ordinarily the class of patients under consideration have between 50 and 70 per cent., instead of the 100 that should be present A few simple tonic remedies, principally iron,

administered intelligently under medical supervision for a few weeks, with a change of habits as to outdoor exercise, remove the headaches and bring back complete health.

This thin red line, the difference of a shade of pink on a hemoglobin chart which the practitioner determines in about the same way, and with as much fine care, as a woman matching dress goods, is an extremely important thing, for it indicates the difference between health and a lack of resistance to disease. All of us are unquestionably exposed to contagion daily in our complex lives, but normal resistance brings 11s off safely. When there is a deficiency of hemoglobin, however, and a general anemic condition, this power to resist is not present, and the individual is likely to contract maladies that will permanently lower his vitality, or even result fatally.

In suburban practice these cases of anemia are less frequent, and it is from this fact that I wish to draw the moral of my little paper. I find on talking with business men who live in the suburbs that thev obtain just the slight outdoor exer- cise even day that represents the differ-

HEX it is explained to admir- ing strangers that the at- tractive brown-stained cot- tage. with its sunken porch and quaint front door, is the least expensive house on the square, they are invariably surprised. The little house

was of interest to its neighbors almost from its beginning. When it was known that it w'as to have no gables, no fancy trim, ornate veranda or rounding bay, thev feared it would not properly uphold the standard of the street. Tt was soon seen, however, that new and unusual methods in building were to be intro- duced. As the building progressed, the outside studding was first sheathed with rough boards, then covered with building paper, over which the wide eight-inch sawed clapboards were placed. This rough surface took the soft-toned brown wood stain beautifully. All windows and door casings, trim, etc., were of sur- faced material and finished with ivory white paint.

A pronounced feature of the exterior of the house was its roof. This showed a

wide eave projection with the rafter feet of three-inch by eight-inch stuff sawed to shape and left rough for staining, ceiled on top with four-inch tongued and grooved beaded stuff laid parallel with the house walls. This was all finished in the nat- ural and given two coats of Shipoleum, a good exterior varnish.

The roof proper has a decided pitch that sheds snow and rain quickly and is hipped from the four sides, terminating in a ridge. The shingles w'ere laid four inches to the weather and stained moss green. The cresting and galvanized gut- ters and dowm-spouts are painted the same ivory white that is used for the trim of the house. As the structure took shape, it was seen that the bay on the dining-room side would be “nearly as large as the room,” and the whole en- closed in glass, front and ends, it seemed to promise something out of the ordinary. Later, when it was realized that there would be no hall, but the recessed front hall would open directly into the living- room, interest grew.

The tiles are ofterra-cotta ten inches square, dull greenin color, and at the intersection of eachis a hand-w rought iron nail head.

Another unusual feature in the roomis its book shelves. These, instead of ex-tending into the room, are set in the walls,the opening cased about with wood fin-ish similar to the door and window trim.The books, when placed, will be flushwith the walls. A quaintly shaped heav\settle is built in at the fireside, and thecorner near the window holds a writing-desk, forming also a part of the woodfinish of the room. The wood used hereis chestnut, treated with a rich dark stain,showing a suggestion of bronze green init. Bog oak, the wood tint, and the deadsoft finish had been secured bv treatingwith surfacer and dead-lac The exactcolor of the tiles is repeated in the greenfabricona which covers the walls to with-

in three feet of the ten-foot ceiling'. Aboveto the ceiling line an English hand-blocked paper is used. This shows hugeconventionalized pumpkin blossoms ofbhowv yellow and green leaves againstan ivory ground.

Poultry in the Suburbs

IIE \nierican lien laid fifteen billions of eggs last year, valued at $144,000,000. There were more than 200 for each inhabitant of the United States, yet the sup- ply was not equal to the de- mand. As a hv-product

$137,000,000 worth of chickens were sent to market. Still there was no overplus.

Poultry is the first agricultural sub- ject that engages the attention of a flat- dweller about to move to the suburbs. The fine stories of how a woman with $13 capital cleared $1,000 in a single year and paid off the mortgage, all through chickens, is ever with 11s, and has a per- manent fascination for the city man or woman. At the other extreme is the pessimistic story of some friend who has tried poultry-raising on a considerable scale and failed. Fruit-growing, truck- gardening, bees, dairying and other branches of polite agriculture are subor- dinate to poultry in the thoughts of the man who has never had first-hand deal- ings with a piece of countryside. Look- ing at the subject from tire city's dis- tance he blows hot and blows cold alter- nately , as tbe optimism of poultry keep- ing occupies his mind or the pessimism

The truth of the poultry problem lies, of course, between these extremes. Tt is hevond doubt that women have cleared handsome sums on little capital, starting with a few chickens, and it is also true that many an experimenter who capital- ized paper plans on a large scale has failed lamentably. Not capital or theories count so much as experience. The wom- an who succeeded knew hens, and the capitalist didn’t.

An amateur’s first investment must be made in experience. All the plain sailing of the poultry books has to be worked out in practice. \ start should be made on a small scale, and the extent of the opera- tions in poultry be determined by the amount of time one is prepared to give the industry. At a distance the occupa- tion looks to be more or less genteel, tak- ing so little time that one may direct a

large poultry farm at odd moments, be- tween trains. But success in poultry now- aday s depends on the production of su- perior eggs and chickens for sale in a market that puts quality before price. It implies not only the production of su- perior wares through constant attention, but often the establishment of one’s own market. In many cities eggs and poultry are now sold under trade-marks that are a guarantee of quality, and these prod- ucts bring a fine percentage of profit. But they are not raised on back lots, as an incident to some other business.

The poultry question is best taken up in a small way at first, with a flock of hens large enough to supply the family alone. Spring is the ideal time to begin, for that is the season at which the real life of the chicken commences. The first requisite is a warm poultry house, which, in the suburbs, may often be adapted from a shed or barn. Then a good strain of one of tbe standard breeds should be selected, and a dozen fowls purchased from some reliable breeder.

Barred, white and buff Plymouth Rocks, silver, golden, buff and wdiite Wyandottes, light and dark Brahmas, huff and partridge Cochins, black Lang- shans, single-comb and rose-comb brown and white Leghorns, buff Leghorns, hlack Minorcas, silver-spangled Ham- burgs, with the various breeds of game birds—these are some of the varieties which the amateur may select.

Plymouth Rocks are birds of medium weight, good for the table as well as wonderful layers—some of the varieties have a record of 250 eggs a year. The Wy andottes arc good layers, and in high favor, being easily kept in enclosures. Brahmas are good layers, but somewhat clumsv. and have an inborn tendency to set, which makes them excellent mothers for the chicks from an incubator. A fence two feet high will hold Cochins, and while they lay only a moderate num- ber of eggs, they are excellent winter layers, as are the black Langshans.

Leghorns lay all the year round, pro- duce large eggs, and have the desirable

trait of being non-setters. The blackMinorca, the hen of our grandmothers,is a light bird, not disposed to set, lavingall the >ear round. Hamburgs are hardto confine, but have been called "the ever-lasting layers" ; they are very hardy, andgrow rapidly. Some of the pugnaciousgame breeds are excellent table fowls,with delicate flesh distributed on thebreast and thighs. For general familypurposes a flock is best selected from thePlymouth Rocks, light Brahmas or Leg-horns.

A small incubator costs very little. Onewith a capacity of sixty eggs may be hadfor $10 and a 200-egg incubator costsfrom $20 to $30. Brooders, for keepingthe young chicks warm by artificial heat,are even less expensive, one to accom-modate 200 chicks being obtainable for$10 or $12. Brooders are built both forindoor and outdoor use. Fifteen }earsago the incubator was the subject of asmany jokes as the suburbanite himself,

but to-day there are anv number of reli-able makes which take little attention air'give results with a remarkable degree ofcertaintv.

The prices asked for eggs for breedingpurposes are high compared with cornergrocery prices, a hatching of thirteeneggs costing from $i to $3 when pur-chased of a reliable poultry breeder. Inlots of 100 or more the prices range from$7 to $10 a hundred. From 200 eggs anaverage of 120 chicks should be hatched.

City with a HistoryFrom Mr. Whitcomb's admirablyhandled treatise the followingparagraphsare reprinted :

"To acquaint ourselves with the earlyhistory of Bayonne, we must first lookback and glance over a few brief his-torical facts concerning New York, Jer-sey City and vicinity.

"Historv tells us that Jean de Verraz-zano, a Florentine in the service of Fran-cis I, King of France, sailed into NewYork harbor as early as 1524. He was.therefore, the first white person to gazeon the east shore of what is now the cityof Bavonne.

"On September 3, 1609, Henry Hud-son, in 'De Halve Maan' (Half Moon),cast anchor inside of what is now SandyHook. Two days later five of his crewwere sent to explore the river opening tothe north. Passing through the Nar-rows, they found a swift-flowing river tothe westward between two islands, theshores of which were 'as pleasant withGrasse, and Flowers, and goodly Trees,as ever they had seene, and very sweetsmells came from them.'

Bayonne is a suburban community witha history and traditions going back overt\\ o centuries and while it is not disposedto concede anything to its newer rivalsin the matters of progressiveness and theutilization of modern improvements, itvery justly takes pride in the fact that itis closely bound up with the earliest his-tory of this country and that the first set-tlers on these shores recognized its at-tractions and advantages of site. Bay-onne is about to celebrate the 250th anni-versary of its settlement, certainly a goodold age for any citv of the new world.

Very appropriately, in honor of the oc-casion, Mr. Ro\ den Page Whitcomb, aresident of the city, has written and pub-lished a "History of Bayonne." In thisbook he has brought together a great va-riety of entertaining facts in regard toits early history as well as compact dataabout the community as it exists to-dayand its claims for the consideration of thepublic and the individual homeseeker.The little work bears evidence of muchcareful research and is a tribute to theenterprise of the class of people who havetaken up their homes in this flourishingand nearby neighbor of the metropolis.

and that their origin and development took place within the last few' decades of the nineteenth century, when civiliza- tion and the art of living had been car- ried to the highest point of attainment.

Bayonne is a suburban community with a history and traditions going back over two centuries and while it is not disposed to concede anything to its newer rivals in the matters of progressiveness and the utilization of modern improvements, it very justly takes pride in the fact that it is closely bound up w’ith the earliest his- tory of this country and that the first set- tlers on these shores recognized its at- tractions and advantages of site. Bay- onne is about to celebrate the 250th anni- versary of its settlement, certainly a good old age for any citv of the new' world.

Very appropriately, in honor of the oc- casion, Mr. Rowlcn Page Whitcomb, a resident of the city, has written and pub- lished a “History of Bayonne.” In this book he has brought together a great va- riety of entertaining facts in regard to its early historv as well as compact data about the community as it exists to-dav and its claims for the consideration of the public and the individual homeseeker. The little work bears evidence of much careful research and is a tribute to the enterprise of the class of people w'ho have taken up their homes in this flourishing and nearby neighbor of the metropolis.

From Mr. Whitcomb’s admirably handled treatise the following paragraphs are reprinted:

“To acquaint ourselves with the early history of Bayonne, we must first look back and glance over a few brief his- torical facts concerning New York, Jer- sey City and vicinity.

“Historv tells us that Jean de Verraz- zano, a Florentine in the service of Fran- cis I, King of France, sailed into New York harbor as early as 1524. Fie was. therefore, the first white person to gaze on the east shore of what is now the city of Bayonne.

“On September 3, 1609, Henry Hud- son, in ‘De Halve Maan’ (Half Moon), cast anchor inside of what is now Sandy Hook. Two days later five of his crew were sent to explore the river opening to the north. Passing through the Nar- rows. they found a swift-flowing river to the westward between two islands, the shores of which were ‘as pleasant with Grasse, and Flowers, and goodly Trees, as ever they had seene, and very sweet smells came from them.’ (Hudson’s Journal.)

"In June, 1629. the States Generalgranted a billof 'Freedoms and Exemp-tions' to all such private persons aswould plant any colonies in any part ofNew Netherland, except Manhattan Isl-and. Special privileges were also grantedto members of the West India Compam.Whoever of its members would plant acolon} of fift\ persons should be a feu-dal lord or 'Patroon' of a tract 'sixteenmiles in length fronting on a navigableriver, and reaching eight miles back.'

Both of the tracts wereparts of what is now Jerse\ City. Thegrantee one place the name of 'Pa-vonia.' Pauw failed to comply with theconditions set forth in his deeds, and wasobliged, after three years of controversywith the West India Compam , to conveyhis plantation back to that companv.

“In April, 1623, an expedition under Captain Cornelius J. May, of Amster- dam, with about thirty families, mostly

The grantee gave one place the name of ‘Pa- vonia.’ l’auw failed to comply with the conditions set forth in his deeds, and was obliged, after three years of controversy with the West India Company, to convey his plantation back to that companv.

“Michael Paulesen. an official of the company, was placed in charge of the plantations in and around Pavonia as su- perintendent. It is said he built and oc-

"However, the sta\ of these Dutchmenwas short, for on September 15, 1655, theIndians (provoked at the killing of oneof their thieving women) attacked NewAmsterdam, killing many. They thencrossed and attacked Pavonia, Communi-paw and Hoboken, murdering, burningand stealing as they continued downthrough Bergen Neck (Bavonne), andthence to Statcn Island. For a secondtime this section was a desolation. Homesand plantations were deserted and the set-tlers fled to New Amsterdam, where theyremained some three or four \ ears beforereturning.

"There is no record as to the exact datewhen the Dutchmen returned to reclaimtheir property along Bergen Neck. Itwas probably after January 30, 1658,when a deed was drawn up whereby theIndians sold the land to the Dutch, thatthese pioneer settlers brought their fam-ilies and belongings, and made final set-tlement.

"It is uncertain just where these per-manent dwellings were erected. Onewould infer, however, that most of themwere situated close to the New York Bayshore between Forty-third Street and theMorris Canal, where it was easy of ac-cess to Xew Amsterdam by water. One,the author has reason to believe, stood onthe present site of the Bayswater Hotel ;another at the foot of Centre Street, andanother near the present Forty-ninthStreet station. One or two were prob-ably situated as far back as Avenue D, inthe neighborhood of Grand Street.

"This settlement at first showed nosigns of growth, but after a few years,upon the arrival of more home-seekers, itbegan to prosper."

“Most of these xvere owners of land in Pamrapo in the winter of 1654-5. A small company of these property owners, or men employed by them, anxious to lay claim to their possessions, sailed from New Amsterdam in the spring of 1655

ETTER than the winning of gold and silver medals at great fairs and expositions abroad, in competition with other States, is the constant progress made in the en- largement, development and perfection of the public

school system within New Jersey. Not that the winning of medals is to be de- spised ; on the contrary, it affords no small degree of satisfaction to be thus assured that the work of the New Jersey school children compares successfully, and even victoriously, with that of the school children of all other States and all other countries in the educated w'orld, and it inspires the scholars to greater zeal and application.

But to maintain a place in the front rank and to win honors in sharp compe- tition, it is necessary to keep pace with the foremost educational systems and to move forward w'ithout halting or suffer- ing interruption.

According to the last annual report of Superintendent Baxter to the State Board of Education, this is w'hat the New' Jersey' schools are doing. They are making progress in practically every- thing that tends to enlarge and perfect the school system.

“Progress in educational matters,” he declares, “continues to be the watchword in New Jersey, and more impressively so than ever before”

Statistics always convey inadequate ideas, and school statistics can give only the barest suggestions of what is being accomplished from year to vear by the

nearly 9,000 teachers in the almost 2,000 school houses in this State, yet a com- parison of the means employed last year with those of former years, will give some conception of the progress that is being made toward the attainment of modern educational ideals.

The State’s school property is now val- ued at $20,000,000, an increase of $732,- 000 over the previous year, and the amount expended last year in manual training and current expenses is $6,901,- 963, more than half a million in excess of the sum thus expended for the year 1902-03. The total enrolment of pupils has increased 7,746, and the total day's attendance is larger by 1,384.353 than it w'as the previous year. The seating ca- pacity of the schools has been enlarged bv 16,145 seats, and the daily attendance has been 10,261 more than in the for- mer school year. These figures certainly show that the school system in this State is prospering, and that whatever the State does for its public schools yields excellent returns.

One item is w'orthy of special men- tion. The average salaries of teachers in this State is now $563.25, which is an increase of $11.60 over that of the pre- vious year. This shows that the work done by faithful teachers is being appre- ciated, and that it is gradually being rec- ognized as something of great value. When the salaries paid in this or in any other State are large enough to make teaching a life-long profession, instead of a temporary means of getting a living, the quality of the work will be still more improved.

Inthe places contiguous to the margins ofthe pine belt the soil is more of a loam ;

these forests contain little pine and almostall hard wood timber. Writing of thethird climate Dr. Hance says: "Tn thenortherly and northwesterlv section ofthe State are found a goodly number oflakes and the soil is of an entirely differ-ent nature (from that of the pine belt),consisting, in large measure, of rock,shale, loam, and, in some places, whollyof clay. The difference between the cli-mate here and in the pine belt and at thesea is due to the moderate elevation, from300 feet at Morristown to 800 feet atNew ton. There is more moisture in theair by reason of the soil, and the meantemperature is 8 degrees colder. Theranges of hills offer some barrier to theocean breezes, yet the influences of thesalt water and meadows is felt further in-land than in the southerly parts."

E\Y JERSEY lias three dis- tinct climates. Dr. Irwin H. Hance, a physician of Lakewood, N. J., lias made a study based on weather statistics for the past twenty-nine years, and in Outdoor Life undertakes to

describe the State’s climate zones, indi- cating their adaptability not only to the treatment of tuberculosis and serious dis- eases, but in a w’ay that will be helpful to

any person selecting a home in New' Jer- sey for a vacation resort. The first cli- mate is that of the "pure sea,” such as may he found at Atlantic City or Asbury Park: the second is the climate of the pine belt in the southern part of the State ; the third climate is isolated in the north- erly and northw esterly portions of the State, where there is moderate elevation. The sea climate is distinguished by clear davs and a high average temperature throughout the tear, in addition to the manifest advantages of sea air. In the climate of the pine belt and the places close to its boundaries the influencing fac- tors are the dry, sandy soil and the pine forests which produce a relatively lower humidity all the year round, and a mean annual w'armer temperature. Meteoro- logical observations at Lakewood, taken daily for the past three years, show the mean" temperature for the winter months to be colder by two or three degrees than directly on the ocean. The number of clear davs. as compared with the seaside observations, gives a marked difference in favor of Lakewood. The rainy days on the shore are slightly in excess of in- land locations Borings from artesian wells show a depth of sand which makes the surface of the ground like a sponge as legards absorption, hence there is very small sensible surface evaporation and fogs are rare save when the easterly storms are driven in from the ocean. In the places contiguous to the margins of the pine belt the soil is more of a loam; these forests contain little pine and almost all hard wood timber. Writing of the third climate Dr. ITancc says: “Tn the northerly and northwesterly section of the State arc found a goodly number of lakes and the soil is of an entirely differ- ent nature ffrom that of the pine belt), consisting, in large measure, of rock, shale, loam, and, in some places, wholly of clay. The difference between the cli- mate here and in the pine belt and at the sea is due to the moderate elevation, from 300 feet at Morristown to 800 feet at New ton. There is more moisture in the air by reason of the soil, and the mean temperature is 8 degrees colder. The ranges of hills offer some barrier to the ocean breezes, yet the influences of the salt water and meadows is felt further in- land than in the southerly parts.”

.The subway, in its short life, has al-

readv developed a peculiar tendency. Fewwomen use it in comparison with thetravel on surface lines, and it has becomedistinctiveh a man's road. The Timesconcludes that women want to see the"scenery" when they ride up or down-town, and the subway is characteristicallydeficient in sights. These considerationsare of especial weight with women fromthe suburbs. A single trip in the subwayis said to be enough to satisfy their cu-riosity about it, and after that they gladlyreturn to the old modes of tra\el. An-other reason assigned by "Topics of theTimes" for feminine discrimination isthat the subway is a very nois\ place andprevents conversation. But this, of course,is decidedlv unchivalric.

A book of practical interest to suburb-anites is E. P. Powell's "The CountryHome,'' recently published. Some of itschapters have already appeared in theIndependent, of which the author is oneof the editors. Mr.Powell is a championof suburban and country life, workingalong lines similar to those of H.RiderHaggard in England. The British ro-mancer has long been earning a pro-paganda for the development of ruralEngland, furnishing an outlet for con-gested London. Mr. Powell advocatesthe country for brain workers, and tellsthem how to make life in the small towna practical, even profitable existence.

Some appalling statistics about the life that swarms in certain sections of New York were recently brought out in two lectures by Lawrence Veiller, secretary of the City Club, before the Charity Or- ganization Societv. In one section of the east side the density of population is 1,000 persons to the acre. The ratio in the most densely populated part of Bom- bay is only 759, in Prague 485, in Paris 434, in London 365, in Glasgow 350, in Calcutta 204. In many city blocks of the cast side there are 2,000 to 3,000 persons. The district south of Fourteenth street "hives-’ over a half million human beings, or a population greater than any Ameri- can cities except Chicago, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Boston and P>altimore. Not so mam persons live in the States and Ter- ritories of Arizona. Delaware, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, South Dakota, ()regon. New Hampshire, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont or Wyoming. ‘‘The change from the private dwelling to the crowded tene- ment,” he says, ‘‘is far-reaching in its consequences, and the effect is felt on the community physically, socially and morally. The effect on our democratic institutions is also serious. The modern city is the most important factor in de- stroying a conservative point of view on the part of the working people. Where a man has a home and owns it he has an incentive to work industriously, to be eco- nomical and thrifty, to take an interest in public affairs; every tendency makes him conservative. But w here a man’s home is three or four rooms in some huge build- ing in which dwell from twenty to thirty other families, and this home is only his from month to month, what incentive is there to be saving or economical ? The bad effect upon the community of a con- gregate form of living is by no means iimited to the poorer people. Waldorf- Astorias at one end of the town and ‘Big Flats’ at the other end are equally bad in their destruction of civic spirit, and the responsibilities of citizenship. The ef- fect of living in this class of building, and even more so of living in hotels, is bound to have most serious consequences for the nation. It means gradually the breaking down of family life; it means that children become undesirable; it means that the citizen, no longer being a

householder, no longer comes into con- tact with the different branches of the municipal government, and no longer has the same interest in the affairs of the com- munity.”

The subway, in its short life, has al- readv developed a peculiar tendency. Few women use it in comparison with the travel on surface lines, and it has become distinctively a man’s road. The Times concludes that women want to see the “scenery” when they ride up or down- town, and the subway is characteristically deficient in sights. These considerations are of especial weight with women from the suburbs. A single trip in the subway is sakl to be enough to satisfy their cu- riosity about it, and after that they gladly return to the old modes of traicl. An- other reason assigned by “Topics of the Times” for feminine discrimination is that the subway is a very noisy place and prevents conversation. But this, of course, is decidedly unchivalric.

The Opening of the YearIt is the first mild day of March ;

Each minute sweeter than before,The redbreast sings from the tall larch

That stands beside our door.

There is a blessing in the air.Which seems a sense of joy to yield

To the bare trees, and mountains bare,And grass in the green field

Love now a universal birth,From heart to heart is stealing.

From earth to man. from man to earth ,Tt is the hour of feeling
