Getting Light on Old Jobs.

NCNNAlS - vi"
That Greenville sewer may be taken
as an instructive example OF exactly
what a public improvement ought moi
to be. 1t was a cheap sewer, as Com
missioner Van Keuren said last even
ing; that is, it was constructed in the
shabbiest way possible, of the mean
est kind of material. Such works are
called cheap because they cost the
contractor very little, and the city a
| great deal.
Contractor O'Neill made an e
PLANTATION last evening which, while
it may satisfy his conscience, has little
to do with the case. Throwing the
responsibility back upon him is just
as idle. The point is that the city has
paid for useless work, and the fault
must lie with the Board that accepted
and paid for it. This blame is more
definitely fixed because a protest was
made against the work before the final
payment was ordered.
1t is late in the day to complain OF
the conduct of a Board which has
been superseded, and the only object
of such complaint is to furnish material
for a list of the things, which the
present governing boards r expected
not to do. 1t is comforting to know
that Mr.. Van Keuren was opposed to
the order for the payment which was
made to Contractor O'Neill.
AS these old jobs crop out they are
worthy of study. If the people are
informed just how they were done,
they can guard against a repetition OF
such practices.

New JERSEY


the area of many other States, New
Jersey possesses a surprisingly rich
fora of its own. Its shady hillsides
and extensive swamps are peculiarly
adapted to the growth and reproduce
ton of the various members of the
orchid family indigenous to the East
ern States. | have found places in
shady,woods where Cypripedium pube-
bescens and G. parvif1orum werefound
covering acres of ground, the fragrance
of their flowers being especially 40
ticeable. This | have never found so
pronounced when plants were grown
in gardens. These two plants are
found growing in clumps together
here, and it would appear as if the
one might be a minor form of the
other. Orchis speetabilis is plentiful
in the same locality, and so are Habe-
maria Hookeri and II. ~orbiculata, all
thriving l~uXuriantly i'll the rich vege-
table mould, the result of ages of
growth and decay. G. acaule grows
on lower levels, and appears to thrive
best in a drier soil. Just what this
plant needs to keep 1t in cultivation
we have never been able to ascertain.
During the past few days | have
found whole colonies of Pagonia
ophioglossoides and Calopogon pull
chellus, the former noticeable for it's
exquisite sweetness and the richly
marked lip, while the 7Calopogon
could be distinguished at a long dis
lance by its purple flowers, an inch

same m@ be said of Cypripedium
spectabile. This plant is found near
Lake Hobatcong, and it is said to be
quite plentiful, though we never had
| the good fortune to find more than a
few plants. Habenaria fimbriata, H.
virescens and H. lacera are now in
flower. The two latter have incon-
spicuous green flowers and are often
passed by unseen. In July and
August the orange colored H. ciliaris
will be at it's best.
/ shall never forget the impression
made by the first glimpse OF a swamp
of many acres tinged over with the
bright golden-yellow of the tringed
orchis. The plants were found grow
ing literally by the thousand, and
showed considerable variation in the
color of their flowers. HI. tridentata
and H. psycodes are also found in the
same place and time. l have seen
quantities of Arethusa bulbosa, that
were collected near here In New Jer-
sey, but tried in vain to learn the To-
cality, and although it is quite plen-
tiful in some parts of the State, it has

Cheap a ry.

OF
A farmer, about fifty years of age
came into town yesterday with a dill
apidated lookin 8 horse and wagon
and a comedy young girl OF seven
teen summers was sitting in the latter.
The farmer was in search of a wedding
ring. He told conidentially to one OF
the clerks in Storey & Roy's dry goods
stores that he was about to we'd the
young lady in the wagon outside and
that she had come from Castle Garden
only a few weeks ago.. The farmer
said to the clerk that he thought it
much cheaper to marry the girl than
to pay her wages for keeping house
for HIM and that he had proposed, was
accepted, and now wanted to purchase
a wedding ring for ten cents, and said
he would even go Us high as twenty
five cents, although he could not pos
sibly go beyond that.
"Durn the expense" he said, "a
man might as well get a good wedding
ring, if he gets any; don't you think
so?n The clerk, smiling, Replied
Eyes; but, my dear fellow, we do not
sell wedding rings, and | think you
cannot get a good ring under 50 at
least.n The countryman opened his
eyes in amazement and almost tainted.
He said he knew better, he vas no
greenhorn if he was a farmer, and left
the store. He then wendell his way
to the jewelry store of E. w. Button,
and being unsuccessful there
must have tried every jewelry
store in the city for that ten-cent we'd
ding ring, as his team stood outside of
the dry goods store for almost anhour.
Whether he succeeded or not could
not be learned. but that the farmer
was in earnest there is no doubt.
Whether he will marry the girl, now
that he knows the expense, is an open

bic. The vitalizing of the blood fur
nishes the mind with new truths. The
lungs take in four times as much air
as is necessary, and reject three-fourths
of it. So should the mind take in all
that comes to it and reject all that is
not useful. There can be no good,
pure, clear, deep thinking without
good, deep, pure breathing. Every
occupation and work has It's own
method of breathing. A man train
