TO BE Commenced NJ Once.

Superintendent Porter, of the Census
Bureau, has issued bulletin in which
he notifies the Secretary of.the Interior
that list of supervisors districts has
been made out and that the work of
taking the census will begin without
further delay. TOO much care cannot
be exercised in the selection of census
takers. They should be noted for their
intelligence aud aptness for the duties
required. This is absolutely necessary
if the statistics are to be reliable, and
should be preferred above all other
considerations in the selection of men
to perform the work.

Howard w. Fithian, Jas. E. Hicks, B.
f. Horner, and other.
The tables were handsomely decor
ated and loaded with that which
maketh hungry man happy; the re
past consisted of five courses, and
great attention was paid to it. -..-
Mr.. West, one of the most witty
men ever seated at collation. in this
city, was at his best, and the way his
utterances sparkled and scintillated
kept up constant flow of good humor
Rev. Handley, who was we'll ac
quainted with the Grand Treasurer
essayed to cross swords with him al
punning, but whenever Mr.. West di
rected blow at him, showed that he
was not match for his steel.
G.. H. Milford and Dave Appelgate
were nearly uis-a-uis at table, and both
did we'll to what was set before them
Dare could hardly see Mulford ovel
the top of the oysters that were piled
up around his plate.
When Mulford was called upon for g
speech, he declared himself too full fol
utterance, which brought out SHARP
remark from Mr.. West, to the amuse
ment of the company. The whole af
fair was enjoyable to the highest de-
gree, and the participants are hardly
done laughing yet.

A Medical AuthOr1y.

What such an authority as The Med
acal Record says in regard to the pre-.
vailing influenza will be read with uni
versal interest. The Record is of the
opinion that our epidemic corresponds
in it's general character with the for
eign type of the disease, but says that
it is by no means dangerous, and that
the reports of it's fatality have been
greatly exaggerated, while the serious
complications in connection with the
malady are really few. Important
suggestions are made in reference to
treatment, and this excellent advice is
given as to prevention: "There is no
better protection against an attack
than the maintenance of good health
by the avoidance of over-fatigue, of
undue exposure and of insufficient food
and Sleep" With such precautions,
moreover, it is evident that, if one
does not escape altogether, he will in
crease his chances of light attack.

distress warrant to attach the goods;
at glance over the stock in the store,
| considered that there was not over
$1,000 worth of stock in the store; it
was broken up lot, there being but
one or two whole suits in the stock.
The store was not locked up more than
half or three-quarters of an hour. 1t
was opened when George had desigDa
ted the goods not covered by the chat
tel mortgages. MIR. Mcpherson dis
claimed any malice or i'll feeling
towards Mr.. McClintock.
On cross examination he said he
came to Bridgeton from Burlington; !;
he took possessian Of the store under
the lease in order to collect his rent;
he thought that would bring the rent
as quickly as anything; he did not
mean to keep control of the store un-
less the rent was unpaid; he gave up
possession of the store aud took dis
tress on the goods in order to accom-
date Mr.. McClintock, who said he
could point out goods not under the
chattel mortgage; he knew that Mr.,
McClintock CA. H., had departed with
his horse and wagon to parts unknown,
and he wanted his rent, or wanted it
secured.
Arthur Mcpherson was called to the
stand, his testimony corroborating his
fathers.
Agent G.. B. Barnard, of the Cen
tral railroad Office, was called to show
that some of the goods designated by
George were not in the store, but were
at the railroad. AS this had been SO
detailed by George himself, this wit
ness was not allowed to testify. The
defense rested, and rebuttal testimony
was taken up. H toa
George F. McClintock was recalled,
and testified that nothing was said
to him about closing the store, except
under the distress warrant.
States Attorney w. A. Logue was
also called in rebuttal of testimony of
Constable Ayars.
Mr.. Logue said he saw Robt. F.
Ayars, who was in his Office on the
afternoon of Oct. 5th about o'clock,
and Mr.. Ayars told him that he had
just closed up Mr.. McClintock's store,
under claim for rent for $500. He
told him he took some chances and he
thought it small matter for which to
close up a store; did not recall if he
told him by what process he had closed
the store. He prepared the notice for
George w. McClintock, within a half
hour after this; Ayars and Mcpherson
came to see him after this and said if
they had not proceeded right, what
course should they pursue, and he
could not advise them, as he was no.

Both sides rested and the lawyers
were allowed half hour GA side by

Snar1ers.

Ill conditioned dogs do not all go upon
four legs. Most of US have seen snarl-
ing ours upon two. If there is a hate
full biped on the face of the earth it is
your habitual snarler-the man who
has reduced i'll nature to a system, and
practices it methodically at all times
and seasons.
These professors of the snarling art
of course snarl at everybody and every
thing, but their especial targets are
their families. They reverse the chem
istry of the bee. Instead of extracting
honey from the weeds of life, they con-
trive to extract poison out of its honey.
1t has been said that imam never is,
but always to be, blest;;" but that's not
the case with the snarler He neither
is nor can be blest. In fact, he won't
be blest; but on the contrary is curse
to himself and to all who come in con
tact with him.
Obi the wives that are snarled at!
Vain are their efforts to please. All
their winning ways are met with con-
tumely, all their fond words choked in
the utterance with snappish yelps of
anger and contempt.-New Lork Led

A Muscular Minister.

I'll. Price Collier, the young Unitarian
divine, is the latest example of muscu-
lar Christianity. He is young man of
excellent physique and very fair all
round athlete. He pulls a good oar
plays tennis and is an enthusiast in
baseball matters. The Brooklyn
Heights Tennis club recently made
him their president. Sometimes, even
since his assumption of his Brooklyn
pastorate, he will go into training for
three or four weeks at a time. Ere
quently he may be met on one of his
pedestrian trips. AT such times he
wears a regular athletes sweater" I'M
der his cassock. He walks at brisk
pace out to Prospect park, and there
runs a mile or so; returning home, he
is rubbed down, and then goes back to
his desk and his interrupted sermon.
Few clergymen carry their college train
ing into their clerical life, but Mr.. Col
lier's plan has beneficial effect on his
preaching, and he is aware of it. He
breaches broad, free, liberal theology,
and his reputation is rapidly growing to
be more than local one.-New York

GosneI Outdoors.

The greatest and most largely at
tended of all the camp meetings are
those at Ocean Grove, n. J.; Mount
ain Lake Park, Md; Pitman Grove,
Pa; Old Orchard Beach, Me-, and
Martha's Vineyard Thousands con-
gregate at these gatherings, and during
the week or ten days of spiritual wrest-
ling scenes are enacted which it would
be impossible to duplicate anywhere
agement and programme of the meet
ings is pretty much the same all over.
Days are set for Holiness Meetings, I"
at which both men and women take
part, and where remarkable things oc-
cur when the worshipers are under
conviction" and where, be it said,
many receive good impulses which last
as long as their lives Then there are
the "Children's Days" young Peo-
pies Meetings. y Business Mems Meet
ings," temperance and Sunday school
meetings or conventions, +" and "Old
Folks Days" At all of these services
there is a fervor and directness that
comes from the contact with nature in
the woods, and grace has full swing

1t is in the west and south, however,
that the typical camp meeting is found;

The Transposed Piano.

Concert goers to whose lot it may
have fallen to listen to a song being de-
hvered in one key while the accompani-
ment was played in another will greet
with satisfaction the introduction of a
Transporting piano, by means of which
music can be transposed into any key
at will. The object in view is accom-
plished by movable back, i. G.. The
solid back upon which the strings are
strung instead of being rigidly fixed to
the case, as in the ordinary way, is
fitted on rollers and is moved literally
with the greatest ease by means of a
lever underneath the keyboard at the
side of the performer. In all other re-
spects the construction is the same as
in the ordinary piano. Any desired
change of key can be made in two or
three seconds. The movement can be
worked with perfect ease, and the
mechanism is of so simple a character
that its liability to get out of order is
practically nil.-New York Telegram.

Decadence of Bible illustrations

Driyate moral character.
LIONS SURROUND you.

LIONS SURROUND YOU
Nv subject also impresses me with
the fact that lions cannot hurt a good
man. No man ever got into worse
company than Daniel got into when he
was thrown into the den What q rare
morsel that fair young man would have
been for the hungry Inonstersl If they
had plunged at him he could not have
climbed into d niche beyond the reach
of their paw or the snatch of their
tooth They came pleased all about
him, as hunters hounds at the well
known whistle come bounding to his
feet.
You need not go to Numidia to get
among lions. You all have had them
after you-the lion of financial distress,
the lion of sickness, the lion of perse-
cution You saw that lion of financial
panic putting his mouth down to the
earth, and he roared until all the banks
and all the insurance companies quaked.
With his nostril he scattered the ashes
on the domestic hearth You have had
trial after trial, misfortune after misfort-
une, lion after lion; and yet they have
never hurt you if you put your trust
in God, and they never will hurt you
They did not hurt Daniel, and they
cannot hurt you.
The Persians used to think that
spring rain falling into sea shells would
turn into pearls; and I have to tell you
that the tears of sorrow turn into
precious gems when they drop into
Gods bottle You need be afraid of
nothing putting your trust in God.
Even death, that monster lion whose
den is the worlds sepulcher, and who
puts his paw down amid thousands of
millions of the dead, cannot alright
you.
When in olden times a man was to
get the honors of knighthood he was
compelled to go fully armed the night
before among the tombs of the dead
carrying . sort of spear, and then when
the day :2roke he would come forth,
and amid rhe sound of cornet and great
parade he would get the honors of
knighthood And SO it will be with
the Christian in the night before
heaven, as fully armed with spear and
helmet of salvation he will wait and
watch through the darkness until the
morning dawns, and then he will take
the honors of heaven amid that great
throng with snowy robes streaming
over seas of sapphire.

The Parsons Substitute.

A young clergyman had gone to sup
ply the vacant pulpit of a church in a
midland village. He was just out of
the theological seminary, and had an
extremely boyish appearance.
A little before the hour the new min
lister made his way almost unnoticed
into the pulpit, where he was concealed
from view by the reading desk in front
of him. But an old lady, who sat close
on the right of the pulpit in considera-
ton of her deafness, was much con-
cerned to see boy in the place of the
expected clergyman. So she arose
very softly, stepped on tiptoe to the
pulpit stairs, and, reckoning with her
forefinger, whispered loudly in coaxing
accents:
"Come down, my boy. You mustn't
sit there. That's the place for the min
lister m-London Tit-Bits.

Why They Are Popular.

Some weeks ago the Marquis of Lorne
and Princess Louise were returning to
London from a tour in the provinces.
They occupied a compartment reserved
for them in the express train At one of
the stations the rush of passengers was
so great that the cars filed up and many
people could not find places. Thereupon
the marquis opened the door Of his COM
partment and announced that there was
room therein for four people. beg your
pardon said the guard, 9sbut the COM
partment is reserved and can't admit
any Others" ssBut I'll be responsible for
the consequences" said the marquis
The guard was sorely puzzled.
His orders were strict, and he didn't
recognize the marquis. Would you
mind giving me your card?" suggested
the poor fellow. II shouldn't like to get
into trouble, SIR" 81 have no card, y
answered the marquis smiling; ''but
am the Marquis of Lorne, and my wife,
the Princess Louise, wishes you to adj
nit four of those passengers to this COM
partment.

PETERS SAYS He CAN Ely.
He Says He Knows 1t Because He Has
Already Successfully Flown.


| Already Successfully Flown.
Patrick Peters has arrived from
Prince Edwards Island, bringing ma
| chine which he claims will solve in the
most satisfactory manner the question.
"Can a man fy2" Mr.. Peters claims
that with his machine he lean fly
through the air with the greatest OF
ease, " that he has done it many a time,
and is perfectly willing to try again.
He says that five years ago he made
up his mind that he could make ma
chine that would navigate the air. He
objected to balloons, as they were too
far beyond the control of those who
risked their lives In them, but believed
| that machine should be constructed
capable of being as much under the
management of the flyer as a horse
rake What he wanted to do was to
go up and down at pleasure
Peters likes to talk about his bird. "
as he calls his machine, and his talk
goes a long way to make the listener
have faith in his perfect honesty. He
says he took the wings and motion of a
bird for a model, believing that if he
could "f1y like a bird" it would be
quite enough. He did not succeed at
first, and it was only after making re-
peated failures that he brought his idea
to point where he could say with any
degree of confidence, 81 can fly"
At last he constructed bird" of
the following dimensions: From the
head TO the tail, 16 feet; from point
to point of the wings, IA feet, and from
the body to the end of each wing, 3
feet. The seat was in the body, and
the motive power used in the propel-
ling of the machine was obtained by n
combination of wheels.
His first real trial of his machine was
made when he passed over a forest,
making two miles in four minutes
From his description of the way things
looked below it would seem probable
that he went at least 2, 600 feet up in
the air, and perhaps more than twice
that distance. He says he went up and
down at will, managing his thirty-eight
pound machine without the least de-
gree of trouble.
He is anxious to give public exhibit
ton Of what he can do, and has the
machine with him, so he says. He is
willing to ego up anywhere, " but wants
to make a little money by doing so.
He says he is willing to give any desired
test and can go any distance desired.
He can keep a few feet above the
ground or go up into midair. He says
it is a perfectly easy thing to fly with
one of his machines. Portland people
who know him say he is honest, and he
acts that way.-Portland Press.

ForcibIe Language from the Pulpit.

The pastor of one of the Babylon
Gong Island churches is quoted as de-
livering the following brief but pointed
discourse at the morning service for the
benefit of the gaudily dressed young
men who had been in the habit of
sauntering into church late and leaving
before the services closed: For the
benefit of the young men who come
into this church after service has com
menced and leave before the collection
plate is passed l wish to say that the
hour of service is IL o'clock and the
benediction is pronounced by H.
would also remark that the style of at
tire adopted by these young men, while
perhaps very becoming, is more suited
for tennis court, ball field or bull fight
than for the house of God"
