It Is Retter Late Than Newer.

1t is gratifying to see occasional
evidences that our only competitor is
making desperate efforts to keep
abreast of the tide of news, even if it
never fully succeeds in accomplishing
it. A month ago The JERSEY City
NEWS announced that the State Mill
| tary Board had selected the Wheelihan
property as a sight for the new
armory. Our only competitor
amused itself shouting frantic denials,
till yesterday it made announcement
with the serious air of one who had
made an important discovery, that the
Wheelihan site had been selected.
A week or so ago THE JERSEY
CITY News made public the fact that
the County Park Commissioners were
disposed to accept the Harrison estate
as the site for a third park. Our only
contemporary made two or three
denials of this, too, till last evening it
admitted that THE JERSEY CITY
NEWS knew what it was talking
about. The story of Lafayette's fly
plague, which our only competitor
gave to the public for the first time
last night, with a wealth of big, black
headlines, was told in THE JERSEY
City NEWS three weeks or more ago.
Our only competitor doesn't know
what it misses by failing to reprint
each day THE JERSEY City NEWS Of
the day before. 1t wouldn't at any
rate be two and three weeks behind
with the news if it followed that
course.

A School Census FaIlacy.

Of course in all this cry about the
school population OF Jersey City that
comes from the jealous rest OF the
State, there is an absurd m%isconcep-
ton. The editors of sundry papers
many years behind the age, appear to
believe that by eXaggerating the
school population this city gets a
larger share of the school money than
it otherwise would. There is practi-
cally no truth in this theory.
That our school census is fraudulent
is unfortunately a fact. We have as
certained it in contradiction of all our
pr~econceived notions. But, in fact, the
city, which has had to pay five cents
apiece for thousands of fraudulent
names, is the loser by the deception
by just these very five cent payments.
Ninety per cent. of the school
money is distributed according to law
in proportion to the rateables OF the
several localities, that is to say, in the
same ratio in which it is collected.
The remaining ten per cent. is a sort
of emergency fund, and Jersey City
has only shared it in one II two years,
and it is doubtful if she will this year.
Even if she did, the amount of money
coming to her from that fund would
be quite slnall-not in the least
worth manufacturing a great big
fraud for.
The steal vas wholly a private one,
and the situation is one which Mr..
Winfield and the Grand Jury are
the proper persons to deal with.

B~ilateral Fncinl symmetry.

Few people know that no two
sides of a human face are just exactly
alike" said Mr.. lockwood, the photo
graphic artist. He added:-'in at
least nineteen cases out of twenty the
left side of the face is the most char
acteristic, and, therefore, the strong
est likeness, but often the right side is
the most comedy. People who desire
to be beautiful ON cardboard should
pose with their right side to the cam
era. The left side of the face, though,
makes a more artistic picture"
How do you account for the fact
that the two sides of a face differ so
much in appearance?"
Il do not know of any physiological
reason. An explanation was one
given ne by alearned Swedenborglan,
which is, of course, from his religious
standpoint. He said the difference in
looks of the two sides of a face was
well known to his co-religionists, and
that they had made a study OF 1T rom

charity and such attributes,

with Henry Ward Beecher about it
and he could give no special solution.
In our discussion we discarded The
theory that sleeping more On one side
than the other would affect the side
of the face that was next the pillow
longer. Mr.. Beecher slept more on
his right side, yet his face was
stronger OH the left side. You may be
sure that Mr. Beecher was very enter
tanning in his remarks, but we did not
decide the question. Whittier, Bay
ard Taylor and a host of noted men
with whom | have come in contact in
the course of the last thirty years all
exhibited the peculiar two-sided face
characteristics. OF course it is more
sharply defined in some faces than in
Others. We all smile on the left side
of our face. Our facial muscles move,
it were, with more ease and facility

Points on Costume.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Stripes are very much the fashion
this summer, but more especially the
fine streaks in two alternate colors, or
in various tints. Plain as modern
costumes SEEM, they require great art
and peculiar skill to give them that
style at once graceful and unique
which distinguishes Partisan fashions.
There is a great deal to study in the
details of q dress, simply as it may APP
pear at first sight.
For instance, let us take this gown
of gray and blue streaked woollen
material. All of the upper part of the
bodice is arranged in series of dimin-
utive plaits, like those which appear
in fine lingerie; narrow tabs of blue
silk are placed at regular distances be-
tween the plaits; these tabs are
pointed and stitched down. The
lower part of the bodice is simply
gathered and fitted to the waist by a
wide sash gros grain and a fancy
buckle. The skirt is plated and has
no trimming whatever. The upper
part of the sleeve is plated and
trimmed with tabs like the bodice;
the lower part is gathered into a deep
wristband of olive silk.
A walking costume, also of fancy
striped woollen material, differs from
the latter, especially in the shape of
the bodice. The skirt is plated, and
in front it appears to be fastened to-
gether in the lower part by a double
row of buttons. The bodice is a short
Jacket, with peaked revers in the
upper part in front. At the back it is
tight-fitting; in front it fastens with
one button just below the revers,
thence it remains slightly open, show
ing a plain vest buttoned all the way
down with tiny round buttons. This
vest does not come down lower than
the waist; the bodice comes down
about two inches lower in q small
round basque. Plain sleeves with
peaked revers.
A neat little gown, in fancy grayish-
blue woollen, is simply trimmed with
four rows of braid a shade darker than
itself and SO narrow as to look much
like stitching. Its make is decidedly
manly, for the bodice forms a coat and
w~aistcoat, completed by a white shirt
front, down the middle of which is a
frill. The skirt is open at the seams,
each panel braided and the centre one
just a little draped.
In another walking costume we
notice another style of jacket bodice,
1t opens square from the neck and
then slants off sharply on each side.
Beneath this jacket shows an under
bodice, the fronts of which r crossed,
with a few plaits over a plain plastron,
edged at the top with Bretonne EN-
broidery. The skirt has a few plaits
in the middle of the back. but is per-
fectly plain at the sides; just in front
there are a few narrow plaits. Plain
sleeves, with embroidered facings.
An elegant visiting costume is of a
pretty fancy woollen material called
matte, of a medium shade of brown,
and fancy striped silk. The stripes
are in alternate shades of brown and
terra Gotta, with white streaks be-
tween. The skirt is composed of alter
nate panels Of the woollen and silk
materials. Thus, at the back, one
plated panel of the woollen material;
on each side one of the silk and one of
the woollen. arranged in smaller plaits,
and in front q double panel, put on
