which twenty-nine thousand persons are
actually living in houses belonging to
the works.
The various departments of the Krupp
undertaking are eight in number, and
embrace the workshops at Essen, three
collieries at Essen and Bochum, SAT iron

Moving Salt Marsh Grass.
BUSY SCENES ON THE GREAT MEADOWS
BETWEEN NEWARK AND THE BERGEN
HILLS.

A busy sight may now be seen daily
on the salt meadows that spread in wide
stretches along Newark Bay on both
sides of the Hackensack River, in New
Jersey. Workmen are harvesting the
annual crop of salt hay that grows in
rich profusion on almost every foot of
the marshes. Hundreds of men are at
work moving, raking, and stacking the
coarse, rank grass after the primitive
method, with scythe, hand rake, and
pitchfork. No machinery can be made
available on the meadows, for there are
few places where the miry ground will
bear the weight of a horse. Even the
mowers are sometimes caught in the
| treacherous mire, and cases have been
known where their rescue was accom-
plished only after hours of effort on the
part of fellow workmen, who must direct
their labors so as not to endanger them
selves.
Thousands of large haycocks are Wis
ible over the length and breadth of the
Jersey mashes. Laboring in these
great harvest fields that rest on watery
foundations is not attended with that
Arcadian charm which is associated with
the same work among clover and
timothy. There is no suggestion of
lowing kline, no sweet-scented breath of
new-mown hay, no rest at MONDAY be-
meath, cool spreading trees. The
fragrance of the salt meadows is that
waited from sluggish bitches and stag
nant pools choked with the decaying
vegetation of years, and from the great
spaces of oozy, malarious slime which
the receding tide exposes to the sun.
Mosquitoes are born in millions in these
congenial breeding spots, and swarm
constantly about the ears of the mowers.
This salt hay, after being cut and
stacked, is left in the meadows until
winter weather has so stiffened the
marshes that horses may be safely
driven on them. Then the hay is
hauled to the farms or premises of the
owners. This hay is priced and prin-
cipally used as stable bedding, although
it serves in some places as food for
cattle, especially if upland hay is scarce
and high. Large quantities of it are
sold in Newark and Elizabeth to livery
stables, brewers, and manufacturers for
bedding for horses. 1t is worth about
what the purchaser may feel like paying
for it, although in some seasons it has
brought SIS ton.

Points on Insomnia.

Knowing the liability of public speakers
to insomnia, / asked the most excitabIe
of this class John B. Gough) how he
obtained sleep after one of his thrilling
lectures, generally two hours in length.
He replied: "On returning to my
room I begin reading some interesting
book and in this manner fill my mind
with other thoughts, and then 1 can
sleep. Public speakers find it very
difficult to stop thinking after they have
stopped speaking. Old Lyman Beecher
father of the Brooklyn orator, had a
load OF sand in his cellar, and after even
ing prayer he shoveled it from one side
to the other, and by this exercise toned
down the fever of the brain, often finish

one of his accomplishments. Bodily
exercise is certainly very efficacious I'M

MOnseignOr Capel ON Suicide.

Monseignor Capel, in a Sunday SER
mon, said: 81 hold that all men who lay
violent hands upon themselves commit
a crime. But, you may say, insanity is
the cause e most of the suicides, and
the victims are not to blame for the
deed. Let us see what statistics show.
In the past three months there have
been 260 suicides in the United States.
Or these Y are due to probable in
sanity, 81 to family troubles, A to
special sickness, SO to business troubles,
80 to irregular affections aud 20 to dissi-
patton. What an array of crime we
have here Comparing these figures,
you will find that only quarter of the
suicides are due to insanity. The others
are caused by SORROWS of various kinds.
This fact is of very great importance to
us. When jury sits in case Of fetO
de Sc it is very nice and charitable to
render verdict of suicide from insanity,
but it would be weak and foolish for a
public teacher ordained of God to allow
any such blind excuse to prevail. 1t is
his duty to look at the matter honestly,
and point out the dangers and pitfalls
which beset the way of his hearers.
sit is so natural to idealize a case of
5uCIuc tnab we are apt 10 forget IlaG the
dead were men and women like our
selves. They are born and reared like
us, are educated and become respected
citizens. They come to middle life, or
perhaps before it, and lay violent hands
upon themselves. They forget their
duty to family and friends and their OBJ
legations to God. And what came to
them may it not naturally come to us !?
III they did this may we not do so also
We all know that history repeats itself,
y and if we are walking the path of the
'" gse-sre doing what he did, it
fIls IIot veal unlikely that we may follow
in his footsteps. Therefore, in discuss
ing this subject I am dealing with
problem which is of interest to each one
of us.
with the fact before us that insanity
causes only a small part of the total
number of suicides, and that trouble is
responsible for the great maj )rity, l
come to the conclusion that there is
much moral weakness among men. 1t
is sad to see that child of thirteen and
the gray hairs of eighty-two are found
IN this catalogue of recent self-murder-
ers. 1t shows that moral weakness be-
gins early in life and lasts to the end"

The Dukes Breastplate.

A man with llet.proof breastplate
called upon the Duke of Wellington,
and wished very much to see His Grace
for a moment.
"Show him in, " said the Duke, briefly.
In came the great discoverer.
81 am glad to think that your Grace
appreciates the merits of my invention, I"
said he, in a patronizing tone. ''They
are, indeed, too important to be under
valued by any great commander. Your
Grace can not fail to remember the
havoc made by your gallant troops at
Waterloo among the French cuirassiers,
whose breastplates were not bullet
proof; whereas, if"
"Have you got the thing with you ?"
interrupted Wellington.
The inventor unwrapped very snowy
looking cuirass of polished steel, and
was just beginning long lecture upon
its merits, when the Duke cut him short
by asking:
care you quite sure it is bullet
proof ?"
"Quite sure, your Grace"
Put it on, then, and go and stand in
that corner"
The other wonderingly obeyed.
''Mr. Temple" shouted Wellington
to his secretary, "tell the sentry out
side to load with balI-cartridge, and
come in here to test this cuirass. Quick,
nowp
But quick though the secretary was,
the inventor was quicker still. The mo-
ment he realized that he had been set
up there on purpose to be fired at, and
to be shot dead on the spot if his cuirass
turned out to be not bullet-proof after
all, he leaped headlong through the
open window with a yell worthy of a
Backfoot Indian, and darling like a
rocket through the courtyard, vanished
through the outer gateway; nor did the
Duke of Wellington, from that day forth,
ever see or hear of him again.

The BaneTul Cigarettes.

Says the Boston Herald: ''Too much
cannot be said against cigarette smoking
by boys" said a well-known physician,
when asked his opinion upon the sub
iect, :tand we mean to have more to say
about it in the future. The evil is GER
tainly growing rapidly, and is one that
we find hard work in combating. Boys
have every means of smoking without
the knowledge of their parents, and
often have their full consent. Cigarettes
may be obtained by them at any little
variety store, at two or three for a cent
These are sure to be made of the vilest
tobacco, or no tobacco at all. Well rec
ognized brands are not much better, and
l have good authority for stating that
one brand of cigarettes, which is per-
haps more extensively smoked than any
other, is largely manufactured from clip
pings from block paper soaked IN nico-
tine. The paper wrappings in the best
brands are perhaps not injurious, but in
others add another feature to the harm
fulpess."
"What remedy would you suggest 2
"Let law be passed prohibiting the
sale of tabacco in any form to boys I'M
der a certain age. Such law is IN
effect in New Jersey, though of course
the difficulty is in its proper enforcement.
Parents should always keep a sharp eye
on their sons. When a boy sinks into
the house for his supper, trying to look
unconcerned, yet very fishy about the
gills, and not eating anything, you may
be sure he has been down the back alley
wrestling with his first cigarette. Ex-
press a gentle regard for his health, take
him up stairs, and then administer-not
the slipper, for the boy may have a
single in his tr s good ID, dose
rhubarb, and any other your fancy may
suggest; then call in your physician, let
him shake his head, and if that boy is
not impressed by the situation you may
be sure he is ont for an Alderman.

THE WHIPPING-POST.
An Old, Familiar Scene Re-enncted In
Delaware.

A Newcastle dispatch to the Balti-
more american says: Seven prisoners,
convicted at the present session of the
county courts for various infractions of
the criminal Laws, received the corporal
part of their punishment in the Jail yard
recently. A crowd of about four hun
bred people, including the rabble and
gamins of the city and bevy of Will
mington coUrtesans in paint and powder,
witnessed the laws vindication and ex-
tracted much amusement from the with
ing contortions of the suffering victims.
Sheriff Martin applied the "cat' vigor-
ously, holding it iu his left hand and
cracking it smartly and with telling
effect over the shoulders and backs
of the men bound to the posts. All the
| prisoners showed that the punishment
WAS severe, but some nerved Themselves
and stood the "cat' with but little
cringing. The first prisoner brought
out was Edward Redden convicted of
horse stealing. At 10 o'clock the piIlory
was opened and received his neck and
wrists. He held the position one hour,
evincing great anxiety to be released
toward the latter part of his stand. AT
IL o'clock he was released and walked
down the ladder, saying he felt quite as
well as when he left the cell. He was
afterward given twenty blows with the
scat" The first half of them he bore
fairly well, but the last ten set his
muscles trembling and painted his back
and shoulders red. He tried vainly to
dodge the blows, and looked first plead
ingly and then defantly into the
Sheriff's stern face. George Stewart,
the other white man whipped, was con-
victed for the theft of harness. He got
ten lashes, lightly laid on, his punish
ment being made as light as possible on
account Of his suffering with consump-
ton. The blood began trickling down
his back as he left the post. Harrison
Rothwell. alias Sugar Awful, notorious
negro thief, who pleaded guilty to lar
ceny on four indictments, got the most
severe punishment of any of the Gull
prits. His sentence was twenty lashes,
and they were most vigorously laid on.
Each stroke of the lash curled up his
black skin in welts, bat the young mis-
creant did not show by his actions that
the Sherltf's blows were terribly painful.
James e. Groom, quite as notorious as
Sugar Awful for his participation in
thefts, was a candidate for twenty lashes.
The cat was laid on heavily, but the
thief grinned and bore the pain without
an exclamation. Isaac Henderson re-
ceived twenty lashes, well laid on. He
squirmed and kicked good deal, and
gave vent to his feelings in profane
ordinations, which, however, did not
have any effect upon the severity of the
punishment. George Norris and Frank
Congo, for larceny, were punished with
ten lashes each, which were bore with
out murmur, the cat being lightly
applied.

A Drummer of 1912.

The veteran drummer, Daniel Simp-
son, of Boston, on Monday observed the
ninety-fourth anniversary of his birth,
and the old gentleman was in receipt OF
congratulations from his many military
and other friends throughout Boston and
vicinity. Among the callers were sew
eral members of the Ancient and Hon.
orable Artillery Company, with which
organization he has been connected for
over seventy years, and never missed a
parade until 1878. When only nine
years old he became a drummer for a
militia company, and he was in the war
of 1912. He also for some time kept
the Green Dragon Tavern, on Union
street, which Webster styled the 'Head-
quarters of the Revolution" He was
present at the laying of the corner
stone of the Washington Monument,
and accompanied the Light Guard to
the National Capital on that occasion in
company with his old friend, Major
Smith, who died Ill 1875. In 1882, Cap
tain Martin Brimmer, who commanded
the Rangers, expressed a desire to
have a band (which wouldn't get
drunk" Mr.. Simpson accordingly or
ganized the Brigade Band, of eleven
pieces, which was the progenitcr of
Browns Brigade Band of to-day.
Among the treasures of the Bostonian
Society, is drum carried by John Rob
bins at the battle of Bunker Hill, and
subsequently by Mr.. Simpson, who
presented it to the above society. The
drum is now suspended in the Old State
House, and above it is a portrait of the
venerable Mr.. Simpson.
