The worn out blinds hang loosely.
Tho paint has nearly gons,
The creaking gate swings idly,
The old place looks forlorn;
Tho myrtle mound Is grass grown,
That blossomed years ago,
And one by one have vanished
The flowers used 10 know.
Tho ancient tree whose cherries
Rejoiced my childish heart,
Stands lifeless, grim and grooming;
The arbor's dropped apart
That arbor in the garden
Where honeysuckles twined;

Tho deer, quaint old mansion,
1t held our kith and kin

Till they were gathered In
And now it goes to strangers;
Its glories all are fled
Since those who built the hearth firo
Are numbered with the dead.
While we who loved it fondly
Must givs a parting SIGH.
a farewell look, and sadly
Forever pass it by.
And still the fragrant lilies
May bloom beside the door,
But strangers footsteps echo
Across tho oaken floor.

New Unre for Mnlnrfn-

Tho boarders of certain boarding
house in Jersey City, N. J, were all
recently Frustrated with malaria. Tho
doctor who was called in to treat them
discovered that they wero suffering
from that worst type of malaria caused
by sewer gas. On investigation he.
discovered that in each room WINS
stationary basin, and that foul gas was
continually arising from them. To
carry off this offensive gas he had tho
basins fillod with water and board
put over tho mouths of tho basins oyerv
night. Tho gas that then came up into
tho basin was concentrated about tho.
sides of it, and in tho morning whom
tho basin was ompticd it would DO car

A new peril of very acute kind has
been added to those of the London
streets. 1t is that of being taken for
tho Whitechapol murderer and lynchcd
by the crowd. Anyone who supposes
this danger imaginary knows little of the
extent to which the inhabitants of the
slums are suffering from n combination OF
terror and cupidity. They are naturally
ignorant, and excitement has rendered

Sell by Wclnlit.

Farmers are too often beaten when
selling poultry. bacau'e they do not
use the scales. They lump off fowls
for great deal less than they arc
worth. Az an illustration we give this,
related by poultry dealer:
81 pulled up to talk to Turner, and
there were four handsome chicks near
HIM at work. 81 said, Don't you want
to sell the roostersT-they appeared to
DO year old. Yes he said, 20 gi ad
to; they are scratching my garden nil 10
pieces. They wero Matched tho
first day of March, but I'll
let 'cm go for $780, !
brought them to town and they
sold for 81. 81. Why, most farmers arc
almost wiling TO give away their chick
ems il one talks to them long enough.
They don't know what poultry is worth
nor appreciate its value"
OF ccurso chickens aro not worth as
much now as ia the spring, yet it will
pay to weigh them at any time, provi.
ded they arc fit to put upon the market.
Agree upon the price per pound, weigh
your coor, fill it with chickens and
weigh again, and figure out what they
comc to. This is the satisfactory way
to buy and sel!.-[FaIm, Field and
S;ockman.

1t is estimated that last year the South
lost by forest fires nearly $1,000, 600.
The total number of acres burned over,
according to the New Orleans Times
Democrat was more than double the
whole area of land under cultivation in
Louisiana, or considerably over G,o0o,.
600 acres. And what makes it worse,
it seems that the destruction of most OF
the timber was due to carelessness or
recklessness.

Noelke,s RepubIican Annex.

Mr.. G.. ID. J. Noelke writes to the
editor of the JERSEY CRY NEWS to
deny that he used scriptural language
in refusing our reporter admission to
the meeting of the Third District
Democratic Club. We are glad Mr..
Noelke has the eD post facto grace to
make this denial, and we desire to
give him such credit as it entities him
to.
He goes on to deduce from ancient
history (his own record, of course.) the
conclusion that he wished to have re-
porters present at the meeting. That
is too thin altogether. The facts were
fully given in yesterdays issue of this
paper. They must stand for them
selves.
So far as publicity is concerned, the
columns of this paper are always open
to give him all he wants of it. We
believe the political movement he is
so active in is a mixture of humbug
and treachery, and we are anxions at
all times to print the full truth about
it, in order that the public may be
enlightened.

RAILROAD NOTES

The homeward flight Of the summer
tourist has set in over the Pennsylvania
Railroad, and the officials say that it is
the heaviest they have had to deal with
in several years. Especially is it SO with
the travel West. Most of the Western
trains are now run in sections, and on
Saturday evening the forty-tive minutes
past SIX train, which was III every day
last week in three sections, took out thir-
teen sleepers. In no department of the
road in this increased traffic felt more
than it is in the baggage room. Noun
tains of trunks and valises are piled up
both inside and outside the room in this
city. Baggage Master Templeton and his
assistants have had their hands full dis
posing of it.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has recently adopted ANEW system for
directing passengers to the trains in the
station in this city. Each track is num-
bered with a large figure plainly discerni-
bic from the waiting room doors, and as
the gatemen the trains they
also call out the number of the track upon
which the train stands. Notwithstanding
all this precaution people will insist upon
going astray. A man, and more fire.
quently a woman, is told that the train
they want is on track five, and thanking
the official most politely for the informa-
ton will deliberately board the train ON
track civ

Nor in many a day have the people
of the North Hudson district been
shocked by such a number Of horrible
events as have occurred within the
past twenty-four hours. The awful
murder of Jacob Schlapfer by his in
sane brother; the suicide OF the muir
derer; the serious injury OF two men
caught in the whirl of wheels and
pulleys; the suicide of an unknown
man on the boulevard-what a
list of d%eplorable occurrences John
Schlapfer's deed has a lesson in it,
which is not pointed out here for
those who suffer-for pity is the only
sentiment that one can entertain in so
Sad a scene-but to others, standing
N the same danger, it should strongly
appeal. The need of watching the
insane, Of surrounding them with
every precaution, is emphasized al
most daily by such events as this,
and yet the public is slow to
learn. Almost every kind of insanity
is likely to take a homicidal turn. 1t
is never safe to leave the victim of
lunacy, however ~peaceable he maye
seem without that care which shields
not him alone, but every person
whom his hand can possibly reach if
madness turns him toward murder.

1t was not good enough for a work

enough for a tenement house. 1t was

the dismal, unhealthy surroundings of

Night Terrors in ChIldren.

Mentally active children of high strung
nervous system occasionally suffer from
what are termed might ~%terrors." These
paroxysms come on suddenly during sleep,
the victim starting up, crying or scream
ing, and exhibiting other signs of great
terror. Such attacks are often quite OBJ
~stinate, and it generally takes some little
time to fully awaken the sufferer and
bring him to the realization of where he
is, and that he is in no danger. The parox-
ysmsi in some cases come every few nights
for quite a long time, and naturally occa-
sion the parents much annoyance If not in
tense disgust, after they know their char
acter. They treat the unfortunate with
consideration at first. but are extremely
likely before long to show q good deal of
temper and Impotence if. as they term
them, the crazy spellsn are OF frequent
occurrence. The victim of such attacks
is in nowise to blame, and to use harsh
measures would be simply inhulnan and
add to his terror. Kind and reasoning
words are what is needed at such times.
If several attacks have occurred, it is safe
to assume that medicinal treatment is
necessary, aud a physician should be con-
sul6ed.-RoSt0n Herald.

London's Great Strike.

We do not think there are any two
sentiments regarding the result of the
London dock strikes. The men were
among the most oppressed in the
whole civilized world. Nothing we
know of here compares with their
conditions of life. The Improvements
they asked for were really Of the most
trifling kind; they were designed, not
to make life pleasant, but to make it
possible. They have carried their
point, and thus one step is gained in
the progress of mankind "a very
small step, but still a step.
Perhaps, indeed, not such a small
step. 1t is true, the material improve
ment in their lives is insignificant, but
their cause has awakened the atten-
ton of the whole world. Their fight
has had effects perceptible in New
York and Quebec, in Riga and in
Alexandria. Presently Melbourne and
Singapore, and Hong Kong and San
Francisco, will feel the overwhelming
wave of commercial influence.
Wherever the wave is felt, sympathy
goes out to the men in their fight, and
the conviction is strengthened in
thinking minds that injustice and op-
preston are always bad business" A
very trihing monetary concession at
the start would have saved millions to
the Dock companies themselves
in the first place, to other
capitalistic organizations in the
second place, and to the sum total of
the worlds wealth in the third place.
A mistake has been made in the finan-
cial way which can never be rectified;
but, perhaps, if the lesson is taken to
heart, the world over, the price will
have been small.
