some Facts About ohloroformine.

The statement that when a handker
chief is thrown over a mans head he
Immediately goes into a trance is inter-
esting and raises a curious point. There
are many lawyers who are wont to de-
clare that the evidence given from time
to time at criminal trials leaves no doubt
that there exists some drug which, when
spread upon q cloth and placed over
the nose and mouth, Immediately
produces Inconsistencies. On the
other hand, chemists assert that
the thing is an impossibility and
that no such compound has ever
been discovered. Chloroform and the
other recognized anasthetics require at
least three distinct inhalations to produce
the loss of sensation. To reconcile this
conflict of testimony seems impossible,
unless, indeed, we adopt the sensational
theory that some camorra among the
criminal classes is in possession of a
trade secret as yet unknown to science
Probably, however, this notion is too
fantastic, and we should rather incline
to the superstition that the immediate
loss of consciousness is due to something
comparable to mesmeric action.-Ihe

A PICTURESQUE REGION
Described by the Rome, Watertown and
O~gdensbure RaiIroad,s Gnide Book.

Described by the Rome, Watertown and
Ogdensburg Railroads Guide Book.
The Rome, WATERFOWL and Ogdensburg
Railroad Company has issued a handsome
volume illustrative and descriptive of the
many picturesque and romantic spots in
Northern New York and Canada, which
are reached by its main line and branches.
The book is handsomely illustrated and
contains much information concerning
the region it describes which is of inter-
est to the general reader. One of the
most attractive features of the work is
the series of well executed maps with
which 1t is accompanied and by means of
which the reader is enabled to obtain a
more correct idea of the location
described.
Niagara, the Thousand Isles, the Adir-
ondack wilderness, the St. Lawrence
and the Canadian cities of Quebec and
Montreal are among the many places
whose attractions are wildly set forth in
the little volume. 1t has a list of the
owners of the Venice of America" from
which it appears that three of the isles
belong to Jerseymen, one to John Lind
ner, of Jersey City, I'M two to gentlemen
OF Elizabeth. In addition to these feat
ures the book contains much valuable in
formation concerning routes and rates of
transportation and board. 1t may be OBJ

Aldermanic Paw.

The resolution of the Aldermen
giving themselves salaries of $3.50 a
year is a pretty rascally business.
They do not really earn $75 q year by
their services to the city, and nobody
knows it better than themselves. 1t
is especially amusing to note that the
patent tin-plated brummagem re-
formers are the movers in this deal.
They are vastly incensed against
Alderman O'Neill and the other
wicked Democrats in the Board, and
to prove the virtuousness of their
wrath they propose to saddle the city
with so, $50 annual expense just to
effect a political point-for all said
and done, the ousting of Alderman
O'Neill is the object aimed at.
The effect of the resolution on Presi-
dent Allen is curious. He is presi-
dent of the Board Unpopular election
and ca o0acio member of the 30 ard OF
Finance. 1t seems to us If this resolu-
ton passes, he must accept the $3.50
Aldermanic salary, and serve on the
Finance Board gratis. And this
raises the very interesting question
whether he is entitled to any pay as a
member of the Finance Board. Ex-
officio positions seldom carry remun-
GRAFTON with them, and. speaking
from memory of the law, we do not
think this ease differs from the ordi.
nary run. Has Mr.. Allen, then, been
drawing a salary as financier. and, if
SO, has he had warrant of law for
doing so?
We are quite confident that if Mr..
Allen will be affected by the resolu-
ton, His Fraudulency, the de facto
Mayor, will veto it. Otherwise, it
may go into effect. But we doubt if
it can be made to impair Alderman
O'Neill's position, providing he de-
clines to accept the salary thrust on
him against his will.
The Newark howl against the ac-
curacy Of the State census of 1885 as

must be everything but comforting to
these agitators. If Jersey City is
forced by the new enumeration to take
second place to Newark, the counties

The need of a public school in the

great crowding. so that as efficient work

Woodlawn citizens will bring the matter
to a successful termination.

place in the rear of Hudso N.
The estimates of Census Supervisor
Pearce give Essex a population of
255, 600. Those of Census Supervisor
Bumsted give Hudson 265, 900. The
Newark contoi ~tionists whs may try
to meet this state of facts by the
claim that perhaps Mr.. Bumsted has
inflated Hudson a little in his
estimates, will be answered by the
equally proper claim that perhaps
Mr.. Pearce has inflated a little as to
Essex, and when the actual figures are
given out, the relative size of the two
counties will probably be about as the
estimates places them-Hudson, first;
Essex, second.
On that basis Hudson will, in spite
of all the clamor of the last five years,
vindicate her right to as large a repre-
sentation at least as Essex is entitled
to in the Assembly. Y

Making Sugar from sorghum.

1925 oOA
In a report issued by the British Gov
eminent is a document from the English
consul at Chicago, which states the posi-
tive opinion of the author that sugar
making from sorghum is now an estab-
lished fact. and he believes that it will
double the value to the American
farmer of his corn lands. He is
satisfied that hereafter there will
be no difficulty of getting from
seven and one-half tons of cane $50
pounds of sugar and 1000 pounds of mo-
lasses and 900.pounds Of seed-the whole
valued at over $50. This is double what
the same area of wheat or Indian corn
would produce. In some States-Kansas,
for instance--the consul believes. this in
dustry will add skiold value to the farm
lands. When it is remembered that but
a few years ago the attempt was almost
abandoned by the government as hope
less. such a report from anything but a
favorable source is very encouraging

MAKING DIRT PIES.
A Plea to Mothers for Their Little
Ones Health and Happiness.

i want to add my plea for the chill
dren in favor of dirt pies" Dirt
pies" doesn't mean simply dirt pies;
it means making gardens and noun
tains and tunnels and having tea
parties with a variety of goodies, and
playing store, and, in fact, giving the
most ample scope to the baby imagi-
nation, and passing long, delightful
summe hours in the most diverting,
innocent and health giving of amuse-
ments. | always feel so sorry for the
poor little one whose mother thinks
so much of his clothes that she'draws
thedine at dirt pies" says a writer in
Bd6yhood.
As for causing work, if n can't af-
ford much washing, make the little
mes dark digging aprons" or dresses
that can be donned or doffed in a
minute, and you will have less work
than In listening to their fretting and
quarrelling, and trying provide other
employment for them. As for me, |
never feel any safer about them as re-
CARDS both health and morals than
when, dressed in their digging cos
tunes and armed with shovel, spoon
and tinware, they begin their on
slaught upon the pile of dirt, and l
know that several hours of leisure
probably await me before they will
tire of it.
OF course they will come in looking
like chimney sweeps, and almost have
to be put soaking before | shall know
them, but the cleaning process won't
take long, and they do enjoy it So
and is that nothing to a mother?
Some mothers will sacrifice hours of
WEAKNESS to making the children
pretty dresses, which will afford them
very little pleasure, and begrudge the
little trouble it takes to let them have
such a fund of joy as a sandpile. Isn't
there a little selfishness about it? Do
we think as much of their enjoyment
as we do of our pride in their pretti-
ness?
They are always so contented, too,
when playing in the dirt. There is no
other time when they are less fretful
and quarrelsome and happier in each
Others company, and | think it helps
to cultivate cheerfulness and content
ment. There is absolutely nothing to
be brought up against it except the
small amount of trouble it makes and
u selfish pride in their white dresses;
so my verdict is unhesitatingly in it's
favor, for l always believe in grant
ing a child a coveted enjoyment
against,which there is no valid object

Chance for the Police

We print in u news columns to.
day a list of the liquordealers who
have not yet taken out licenses, and
who, consequently, are not authorized
bylaw to sell intoxicating liquor. The
list is chiefly interesting on account of
the side light it throws upon the at
titude of the police toward the rum
sellers.
We have had a good many Sunday
arrests of late and our Finest has
been ~virtuously wrathful over the
suggestion that anything save respect
for the law instigated its activity.
But if its respect for the law
amounts to a consuming passion, why
has not the Chief sent round to the
City Clerks Office and secured the list
ahead of us, and started his men out
to raid the unlicensed establishments?
EVERY respectable citizen will re-
joice that the Democratic high license
law is steadily reducing the number
of gin mills in this city. We believe
in a legalized traffic in liquor as a
thing not bad in itself; but we abhor,
as much as the most vigorous prohi-
bitionist, the multiplicity Of low grog-
geries which sell vile poison, and
which breed crime and distress in the
community.
