THOUGHT 1T WAS HER HUSBAND,

Some men who pass for respectable citi-
zens, and who really are not without good
qualities, have a habit not only of finding
fault with their wives, but Of doing it in
terms sueh as no gentleman would ever
think of applying to any lady except his
own wife, or possibly his own sister.
There is a story that such a man came
home from the shop one night and found
his wife much excited over the outrageous
behavior of a tramp. He had begged for
something to eat, and not liking what the
woman gave him, had abused her in the
roundest terms.
Johnny said the man, thoroughly in
dignant, when you heard that cowardly
rascal abusing Your mother, why didn't

JERSEYS MEN OF wAR


There are in New Jersey 9,036 persons
who are carried on the pension rolls, and
they receive annually from the Govern
ment 81, LOG, ZIG. Essex has the largest
number Of any one county, where there
are 1, 1913, and they receive every three
months, s37, 302, while Bergen, with 10S
pensioners, shows the least number, and
they are paid quarterly 1881. Salem
county is credited with 251, who receive
quarterly 1922.
The following facts, which have been
officially verified, relating to the part
borne by New Jersey ia the war, are Of
interest, containing as they do much use
full information in a compact form.
The population of the State in 1860, or
just prior to the breaking ont of the war,
was 672, 035, and the vote cast for Presl-
dent in the Lincoln campaign numbered
131, 125. Taking these figures as the basis
it can be seen how well New Jersey did
her part in the struggle, for she furnished
to the army and navy, 1888. OF his
number 68, 10f were volunteers and s, 76f
substitutes, The personal service men
were 951, and communication from drafted
service was paid in the case of 4, 156. The
number of enlisted men who received
bounty was As, 191. To these soldiers the
United States paid as bounty 81, $780, 600
and the local bounty amounted to the
much larger sum of s23, sG8, 966. New
Jersey paid out more money as local bounty
than Massachusetts,, while the latter state
had almost twice as many bounty soldiers.
The proportion of white soldiers who en-
listed in New Jersey to the white popula-
ton was one to nine; proportion of colored
soldiers to colored population, one to
twenty-one,

CONSULT YOUR WIFE.

Two gentlemen were talking about a
business enterprise, in which, though it in
volved some pecuniary risk, they were
strongly inclined to embark. Finally one
of them remarked:
81 must consult my wife before l de,
eide"
Why exclaimed the other, lis she
boss?'
NE" was the calm reply, .'neither am
L. We are a we'll matched team; and we
don't drive tandem. Ny wife is as much
interested in the welfare of our family as
l, and she has a right to have a voice in
the investment of our little property"
There is nothing more than justice in
this view of matrimonial obligation, es-
pecially in the case Of poor or only mod
erately well-to-do families-and these com
prise an overwhelmingly large proportion
of the families in this country where a
slight Increase or diminution in the annual
earnings would be felt alike by every
member.
The wife, who has labored in the home
to earn or to save, while the husband has
labored in the field, the shop, or the count
ing room is justly a partner in his earnings
and their savings, and should share in all
his plans for disposing Of their small ac-
cumulations, so as to make them more
productive if all goes we'll.

ON THE COUNTRY ROAD.

The new Japan b~nckwheat is receiving
much praise from many who have tried it.
Prof. Cook says he grows the most corn
with the least labor by planting 1t in drills.
For vegetables in sandy soil a Massachu-
sets gardener says he finds nothing better
thar hen anu and phosphate.
1t is important that newly planted trees
be shaded from the sun. Straw wrapped
around the trunk up to the lower branches
is successfully used for this purpose.
Some advantages of raising ducks over
chickens are that they grow almost twice
as fast, are free from vermin and less liable
to disease. They are also good egg pro-
ducers.
Pyrethrum busted upon a tree and seat
tered about its base kills all the ants with
which it comes in contact and affords tenn
porary relief, but its effects are Tot last
ing.
4. l. Root says that with lime and guano
sifted together and raked into the soil be-
fore seeds are planted he raises cabbages,
radishes and everything in that line with
perfect immunity from the flea beetle.
Most of the complaint of the unprofita-
bIeness Of oreharding comes from ignoring
the demands of the crop upon the soil, and
of the soil, thus weakened, upon says T. II.
Hoskins in Orchard and Garden. An an
derfed orchard is ant to prove as unproft-
able as an underfed animal.

NEEDLESS NOISES.

One Of the injurious influences of a city
life is the nervous arrangement often
caused by the incessaDt noises that a lax
or cowardly municipal government toler-
ates, through ignorance of the effect or
fear Of offence to certain voters. It is a
mischief operating so subtly and imper-
ceptibly that it is not commonly suspected
till its worst effects have become immov-
ably fixed. 1t is doubtful if any nervous
system ever becomes so used to this inces-
SAINT strain upon it as to feel no harm,
though it is a rare case that the victim of
some underlined disorder, nothing serious,
nothing certainly traeable to any specific
cause, nothing to require medical treat
ment, and yet withal a condition different
from that Of hearty country life, recognizes
it as the effect of the never-ending, con-
stantly changing uproar of a city. The
yelling of steam whistles, the hiss of steam
pipes, the rattle and clash of wheels on
stone covered streets, the rumble Of street
cars, the clangor of bells, the bowling of
~%~HhCAHs hStP up GCiltlLlpn III " HUI d
healthy nervous system Of natural strength
and sensitiveness is impossible. And there
is moi one of these agencies that is not sup
pressed more or less completely in most of
the great cities of the world. In Berlin
heavy wagons are not allowed on certain
streets. In Paris any cart load of rafting

hoods by judicial ruling. Steam whistles
are forbidden in nearly all the larger cities
OF this country and Europe. Milkmen and
bakers are not allowed to use bells or
horns in some cities. In others abomina-
bic yelling and bowling of huckstsrs, for
which there is no excuse at all, are pro-
hibited. Our city might make a trial of
one or two cases as an experimentation

ICE WATER AND TIL HEART.

cit is quite common" says DR.. William
A. Hammond, "for persons to feel fain
and to become pale Immediately after
drinking a glass Of ice water. They attrib-
ute these effects to heat or overexertion OF
TO some other cause which has nothing to
do with the result, not knowing that they
have so weakened the heart as to prevent
it's sending a due amount Of blood to the
lungs and brain, and that, had the water
been a little colder, life would possibly
nave been extinguished altogether. Direct
experiment with instruments especially de-
vised for the purpose of measuring the
force of the hearts pulsations establish the
tact that there is no agent of the matevsa
medica more powerful with some persons
as a depressant Of the organ than a large
draught Of ice water. Under certain cir
eumstances it acts with all the force ana
rapidity Of prussic acid"
