AsBuRy PARK, Aug 19.-I am just paying
a flying visit to these twin cities by the sea,
Ocean Grove and Asburv Park. They were
born about 1870, and twosuch examples OF
rapid and healthy growth it would be hard
to find. Here are two cities covering about
$50 acres, with population at present of
about 10000 people, that fifteen years ago
did not contain forty. What was the
attraction, you may ask, that brought these
communities together, to which might
be answered, propriety. This population
Hocked here not for gold or for any other
great find, nor for any special advantage
which this spot possesse; as a health resort
over several hundred miles OF milrly
located coast in the vicinity of New York,
bit because the founders of these colonies
promised that here should BE- cities that
would be sanitarily and morally clean, a.
lar as town ordinances could make them.

apparent Indifference to spiritual consola-

The trials Of those long ago camp meetings;
fighting mosquitoes through the day and
searching and picking out of the flesh wood

DEVOTION While here at Ocean Grove with
every appliance for comfort that ingenuity
could suggest or money procure: under the
mos favorable auspices, nothing is seen of
that sudden awakening to religious conyic-

Can it be that our people are less demon

contrariness of human nature, the more

more anxious are we to reach them.

No liquor is allowed to be sold within a
mile of Ocean Grove or Asbury Park One
buying lot at either place must covenant
never to sell liquor on the premises. In
case he breaks the agreement the property
reverts to the original owner. Stiff! Cast
iron isn't the word. Nevertheless, the sun
is very hot and bright down there. 1t shines
on the just with a glare only broken by the
grateful shade trees This bright, fierce
sun burns the complexion scarlet. The nose
is the most prominent feature of the face,
going ahead of all the rest The noses of
persons exposed to this light in constant
outdoor life will be baked fiery red, bathed
in crimson, so to speak. That is the reason
why the noses of the Asbury Park police
men are red, very red. This peculiar fact
will impress the visitor at sight
Your correspondent Investigated the mat
ter of liquor-selling closely. He found there
was no humbug about it, unless you UNDER
stood a certain Masonic formula Then it
could be bought
Suppose said he to good -natured po-
hceman, "a strange newspaper man should
come here and be very tired and not feel
very we'll: can you tell me where he could
get something that would do him goodg'
The policemen looked pityingly upon the
stranger and replied, ''go to bed and send
for doctor
This accounts for the NUMBER of doctors
signs yop see everywhere, possibly.

The reverend president of Ocean Grove is
a sturdy example of the old-fashioned divine.
He is native of New Jersey, is 20 years
old, forty of which have been spent in the
ministry.
The last report of the Ocean Grove Camp
Meeting association felieitates the organiza-
ton on the favorable tone newspaper no.
tees of the enterprise have taken of late
years. The comment once $50 carpingly
and so raspingly administeredn is now, the
report mentions, ''as fulsome as any could
wish"
But in the best interests of both the news
papers and the camp meeting it is not well
that journalistic comment should be ''ful-
some" One may dare to hint, therefore,
that there are possibly still points which
could be criticised. When perfection is
reached growth stops.
Oae of the points which the worlds people
criticise is sailed into by the president of the
association in terms which the wicked
newspaper correspondents would hardly
dare match in severity. The matter is this:
Men and women have a habit of promo
rading the sacred streets of the city in their
bathing dresses They DO this in passing to
and from the beach and the surf The hui
man form divine is shown off not only in
dry bathing clothes, but in wet ones, in
which latter it must be said that good deal
of it is shown off. The bathing dresses are
distractingly pretty, too So are many
OF the figures. However desirable
this display may be from the purely artistic
point of View, the camp meeting authorities
have deeds tat it ii'nuJ conducive to the
promotion OF saintli and RELIGIOUS thought.
Thera.ofa President st 1l,es remarks in his
report:
An ordinance should be passed pro-
h.bilng under penalty the passing through

NAV OF AsBURY PARK AND OCEAN GROVE.
As will be seen by the above map the two
cities border on the Atlantic coast for about
two miles and are separated by Wesley
lake. Asbury Park was founded by James
A. Bradley, who was inspired with the idea
OF building town in which temperance
should be the main feature and where some
sanitary theories he held could be practically
demonstrated. These sanitary measures
are now Incorporated in a printed code
which would cover one page of this paper
and relate to everything from food and
drink to marriages, births and deaths. Just
how the latter are regulated by this penal
code am not able to say, though l believe
there is no social problem that the father of
this colony does not feel competent to solve
In fact, in this sanitary code is the law
which governs the town.
The 500 acres on which the town is built
was laid out in streets averaging 100 feet
in width. The streets leading to the ocean
widen near the water, as if an immense
wedge had been driven into them there and
with1rawn. The lots measure 50 by 100
feet, and as they were originally sold with a
proviso that the owner should build, all are
occupied.
The cottages range in cost from 81 900 to
$4,000, and are usually plainly built but
inevitably with a veranda encircliug the
house, and sometimes with one for each
story. On these verandas, hammocks and
red painted rocking chairs are the rule.
Here the residents spend their time between
meals, and in this connection might state
positively, the truth of rumor current
in the press that black hosiery was in fash
ion. At least it is on Asbury Park YER
andas.
The noticeable features of these resorts
are the healthy appearance of the people.
and the great number of doctors signs;
the considerable darby population, and the
almost entire absence Of Hebrews Among
those you meet, you will notice the well-tc-
do mechanic, the small tradesman, the quiet
and ietired merchant and large sprink-
ing OF ministers. Taken all together, it
would be hard to find on our continent q
tairer representative American community.

PIONEER COTTAGE, OCEAN GROVE.
Ocean Grove was built around a camp
meeting, it might be said. A floral urn
marks the spot where the first camp meeting
was held at Ocean Grove. 1t bears the fol-
lowing inscription:
Site of the First Meeting,
Held at Ocean Grove
July 81, 1869.
1t consisted of twenty persons.
In the beginning God"
To-day l stood in the auditorium while
the camp meeting was IN progress aud
would Judge the preachers words reached
5000 people.
Now, in regard to Asbury Park, an idea
of its growth and present prosperity may he
gained from the fact that In 1869 Asbur
Park was assessed for 5000 while the
assessed valuation in 1884 was owe.

Another fashion of Ocean Grove looks a
little queer to the worlds people A COM
mon size for the tents at the camp ground is
l2xl4 feet. Beds are packed into these side
by side and head to head in the most curious
way. There does not seem to be much more
space for privacy or separation of the sexes
than in the notorious New York tenement
houses so much complained of. The ques-
ton is here: If this sort of thing is a dis
grace in the tenement house, is it credit at
Ocean Grovel
II Ocean Grove no dancing is allowed.
On Sunday the blue laws are enforced.
Bathing is forbidden Horses are not allowed
TO even walk its streets. As the land is only
leased to the builders of cottages any
regulation of the Methodist church can
be carried out. Much comment was
caused recently by the refusal by the presi-
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1885-08-29

Among the great throng on the promenade
our good friend the Methodist is largely in
the majority. They are easily distin-
guished, though their personal characteris-
tics are undergoing a change Our Method
ist grandfathers wore full beard. Their
sons removed the beard from the upper lip
when they advanced in years, but the pres
emit middle-aged Methodist is inclined to be
close shaven, which is going back to the
primitive fashion inaugurated by Wesley
With the three generations of females
found on the beach lou will notice the
grandmother spectacled and thin, the
mother uncomfortabl,- stout, while the
daughter is plump and graceful.
To close, these two cities are sanitarily
clean and temperate, out the budding to-
gether of people in small tents. and the
fashion ladies have of promenading and
being photographed IN bathing costumes
must be discontinued before they will reach
the high moral plane which their founders
intended they should occupy.

Sayages Eating Serpents.

Probably the most important use to
which serpents are put by man, the
world over, is as food-repugnant as that
idea seems to a civilized palate. Rev.
j i. Krape writes of the boxers, of
East Africa, that they let their nails
grow as long as those of the vultures,
explaining that they are used Sin dig
ging for ants, and in tearing to pieces
the far east and Polynesia, such meat
has always been IN article of diet, the
A~ndamanese, for instance, liking the sea
snakes, although refusing terrestrial
species. The Karens, of Burmah, and
South Australians offer further instances,
while this kind of food has long been
accepted by the poorer classes of China.
In the Americas-North, South, and
Cential-most of the native races eat
serpent t1esh-some from a ceremonial
way, like the Mexicans and Californians:
and many to fight famine during periods
of scarcity. The rattlesnake especially
has been an article of food from one side
of the continent to the other; but this is
partly owing to the superstitious regard
the aborigines of the United States had
land have) for the striking reptile,
coupled with the notion which belongs
to most primitive men, that ones mind
and temperament are influenced by the
moral qualities of what is assimilated
into the blood, a notion that lies at the
foundation of nearly all cannibalism.
The cunning spitefulness and certainty
OF the rattlesnake seem desirable virtues
to a red Indian, hence he eats the snake
on certain occasions to acquire them.
Many tribes have dances and ceremonies
in which the crotalus forms a part. The
subject of the symbolism, religious signi.
t%icance, and worldwide use of serpents
in sacred rites is too large and involved
to enter upon in this connection, how.
ever, and | only allude 10 it in order to
say that at the conclusion of these cere.
monies, in some instances the snakes are
eaten. Along the coast of southern
California, however, according to Ban.
croft, all snakes except the rattler were
held to be edible. AS for the Piutes
Of the Utah basin, whose food supply
was limited, and whose tastes were more
degraded, perhaps, than those of any
other of the native races of North Ameri-
ca, they were accustomed to impale the
living snake lengthwise on a stick, and
hold it writhing over the fire until it was
broiled. John Jossclyn, gent, in one
of his quaint old books published about
1872, in regard to New England, records
that the New England Indians, "when
weary with travelling" would take up
rattlesnakes with their bare hands, clay.
ing hold with one hand behind their
head, with the other taking hold Of their
tail, and with their teeth tear off the
skin of their backs and feed upon them
alive; which they say refresheth them"
