The second race meeting Of the Gentle
mems Driving Association on the State
fair grounds Friday afternoon was q
pleasant event, although the rain kept
many away, and the heavy track made
racing rather difficult. These race meets
are very enjoyable, and are looked forward
to with much pleasure. The Association
is increasing in members and it should
certainly be encouraged.

1t is said certain married lady in the
city sat up until IL o'clock one night last
week waiting for her husband to come
home from the lodge. At last, weary and
worn out with her long waiting, she went
to her sleeping-room to retire, and there
found the missing husband sound asleep
Instead of going to the lodge he had gone
to his room and had never left the house.
Such are the troubles some poor married
women have to contend with in this life.
That was pretty mean trick for any
husband to play, and the victim of her
husbands uugentlemanly act has the sim
cere sympathy Of her sisters who know
what it is to sit up and wait.

Some amateur photographers Of Boston
have succeeded in producing photographs
which are rather startling to tue persons
photographed, and not such a. they care to
have exhibited outside of limited circles.
Having arranged his s,tters and taken the
focus by gaslight, the operator turns out the
gas. He has magnesium in powdered form
on shovel, and when he gets ready, with
ont any signal, he touches match to the
magnesium and at the same time removes
the cap from his lens.
The favorite way Of trying this is on q
group of the operators friends, young men
aud young women of assorted relations.
When developed, the picture usually shows
that the group was not exactly ready to be
taken, and the exposures of some Of the
figures as caught in state of suspended
animation are embarrassing to the victims
and ludicrous to everybody else. In many
cases there appears a sudden-checked at
tempt to snatch kiss in the dark, and in
others nothing more pronounced than the
movement of a hand and arm to steal
around a willing waist has been stopped by
the abrupt fash. Some faces show an
idiotic surprise at the sudden Light, and
others are caught in laughable positions to
get themselves ready.

The man who invented the hairpin was
. benefactCr to fenininity, who has found
almost countless uses for the little article.
The New York Graphic, in speaking of the
hairpin, says: With the hairpin woman
opens envelopes, fastens her dress, sus-
ponds calendar or picture on the wall,
picks her teeth and cuts apart the leaves
of her magazine or book. 1t becomes on
occasion an improvised glove buttoner, or
is as quickly transformed into hook,
scoop or crank. Nor is this complete
catalogue of the manifold uses of the mod
est hairpin. Necessity is the mother OF in
yeution, and so the hairpin becomes the
tool of the moment for whatever purpose
the fair mechanic wills.

Tomorrow night is Club night, and the
members arerequested to represent, num-
erously with their lady friends. By the
why, theWheeliug Club is growing, and peo-
pie who thought it wonld never amount to
much, find themselves mistaken. The
membership is now about 100 and other
applications are being made, most of which
are by prominent business and professional
men. The Club is IN unqualified success
aud the interest is increasing constantly
This reminds me however that all the talk
among the Young ladies about making
pretty decorations, &C., to beautify the
rooms. never to came to much, the only
donation, so far, being a pin-cushion,
which is very pretty and useful. only
mention this to recall to the minds of the
young ladies how much little bits of at
and other DECORATION combining their own
taste and skill, would be appreciated and
how greatly it would embellish and beau
tify the rooms of Club. This is no hint,
girls, merely reminder.

able. The first ladies' prizs was taken by

Nnw JERSEY WOODLAND.

Professor George d. Cook, director OF
the State Geological Survey Of New Jersey,
states in a recent report that the total area
OF woodland in this State amounts to o.
O69. sos acres, 1t.5 per cent. of the total
area of the State. The growing OF chest
mt timber for railroad ties IN the untilla-
BILE lands of Northern New Jersey is re-
commended, as there is always a demand
for them by the numerous railroads cross
ing the State in every direction. Chestnut
s~tump-land sells for from 81 to s. per acre;
a growth of thirty years at from $40 to s@0
per acre; of fifty years from S25 to $50 per
acre. But in many eases growths, accessl-
BILE to markets, have sold at figures three
or four fold greater. The value of timber
depends much on the soil and location.
The time required to grow ties and teie-
graph poles will average about thirty
wears. In the northern part of the state
the chestnut grows naturally. and brings
the quickest and best returns, although
oak is Of more value Wien grown. 1t has
been demonstrated tina locust timber can
be grown with profit on 100000 acres OF
waste land ON the efetaceous foundation.
It is possible to raise on good land a crop
worth 3d. 900 per acre in thirty years, anu
returns at 50. 900 are not uncommon.
