A Collection of Curions Stories Told
About the Ancientss
They tell of him who appeared at feast
in his own house with a lighted torch in
his hand, but ungirt as to his chiffon, and
udseemly. When, then, his guests OBJ
served to him that all was not as it should
ne. he remarked:-'"This is what comes
OF dressing without a torch" And as
to him who, walking with a friend on a
cold day, and meeting q lady of his ac-
quaintance, took off his friends hat, shall
we say thai this was absence of mind Qor
he took off q hat, indeed, as is customary,
but not his oWn( or shall we define this
as presence of mind. for the day was cold?
For men argu on both sides, u there is
no agreement. But concerning this we
have said enough, perhaps, in our treatise
of fallacies.
Again, they tell of the mar with the
~clepsydrpa, how, walking by the Ilissua,
he picked up q curious stone, n at the
same time looked at the clepsydra to de-
| ermin the hour Of the day. Then, hav-
ing admired the stone, he. placed it in the
fold of his chiffon, but the clepsydra he
| chuched into the Ilissus, not meaning to
| do this, but contrariWise. His mind, then,
was present as to his purpose of keeping
| one thing and rejecting the other, but
| was absent as to which he meant to dis
card and which 1t was desirable TO re-
tain.
In the same name there is the story
| of the priest at a certain mystery, who, in
| his discourse, said:-"If / have lit a spark
in any mind, o Apollo, do thou water it.
| For q spark is not nourished by water,
but q seed is so nourished; his prayer,
| then, was an example Of absence Of mind
as to the means, though his intention was
| pious as concerns the end. OF Alcibiades,
| too, they tell that, after a banquet. he
| asked a certain citizen to show him which
was the house of Alcibiades. but thou
art Alcibiades myself" said the man;
whereto he replled;-"That I know; but
do notknow which is A~lcibiades's house"
vet in the case case of Alcibiades it was
not the man but the house, that was
otherwise, ''the wine" as the proverb
runs, ''being above the wheat. "-Satur-

The Necessity for Change.

According to the Detroit Journal a
well known medical man is SO strong
an advocate of change that he says
"Change your climate if you can; if
you cannot do that, change your
house; failing your house, change
your room; and if not your room,
then rearrange your furniture. If
possible every family should go away
once a year for a months stay under
different surroundings; if this is not
possible, changes of a week at a time
will probably save you a doctors bill If
youhave become run down in health.
Make as many expeditions as you car
during the summer; go once a week If
possible, and you will find them more
e~ficacious to build up the strength
than any tonic that can be admins
tered. If possible get different food
for the family at such times than they
are daily accustomed to, ever if it is
not as delicate. A change of food
will often stimulate a jaded appetite.
When children or grown people begin
to lose appetite and seem l~istless, bet
ter than a spring tonic for the blood
is a visit at a distance. where there is
a complete change of scene and
food.n

Personal AND NOTABLE

The Deckertown Independent vouches for the
veracity of Samuel Ferris, who says he recently
saw in his truck patch a monstrous blacksnake,
fully twelve or fourteen feet long, which held its
head about two feet above the ground. Ferris
attacked the serpent with his hoe, and thinking
he had stunned it, started to the house for his
gun, but when he returned the snake was gone
and could not be found.
The early closing movement in Plainfeld was

to close at seven o'clock p. m, Saturdays ex-

Our Rotten Fire Department..

Our Rotten Fire Department..
The New York Star has an article
| this morning alleging that the Jersey
City Fire Department would be
| wholly unable to cope with a big con-
Migration. 1t is unfortunately quite
true. THE JERSEY CITY NEWS
has exposed some features OF
the r~ottenness in that De-
partment. Some months ago we
exposed the antiquity Of the engines
and the rottenness Of the hose, and
within a week or two we showed up
the decentralization caused by Boss
Conway's political administration OF
the Department.
1t is only necessary to watch a fire
or two to become satisfied of the alb
surd ineficiency of the system. The
engines are slow in arriving, and
slower in getting to work. The hose
leak like sleeves, even when they do
not absolutely burst open. Not one
single stream of any force or volume
is thrown on the flames. One single
New York engine with its equipment
would be pretty nearly as good as our
entire apparatus.
This is one Of the beautiful conse-
quences of ring rule. Money has been
spent, of course, but there is no re-
turn for it; and now it is impossible to
find money to improve matters, for
ring greed has already strained the
city's financial powers nearly to the
breaking point.

Yacht Club at the Atlantic Highlands
was opened on Saturday. The handsome
structure was crowded with guests. 1t
is estimated that nearly five hundred
were present to inspect the building. All
the comments were favorable and the
committee was congratulated for the ex-
oellent Judgment shown in selecting the
plans. which gives the club a comfortable
and roomy house. The furniture, too,
was well chosen. The house and grounds
cost about 1900. The guests were well
entertained aud q band gave a concert,
and yesterday a sacred concert was the
feature. All the clubs in the Yacht
Racing Association were represented
and Governor Albeit, who sailed to the
Highlands in his steam yatht, and Sena-
tor Werts were among the distinguished
guests.

TWO AMERICAN WOMEN.
A Picture of Both as They Appeared
Four Years Ago.

Seeing the announcement in all the
American papers of the engagement
of Mrs. j. C. Aver, of sarsaparilla
fame, to Prince Dolgorouki, cousin OF
the morganatic widow of the late
Gar of Russia, takes me back to four
years ago when I met Mrs. Aver at
the famous springs of Vichy, the fash
ionable health resort OF France, says a
writer in the st. Louis GSobe-Dezno-
cgat.
She was accompanied by Mrs. John
Bigelow, wife of the Hon. John Bige-
low, who was for many years Amer
can Minister to France. The two la
dies were conspicuous figures in the
crowd of fashionable visitors from ev-
cry land which thronged that famous
health resort. Mrs. Bigelow was, chat
summer, the guest of Mrs. Aver. n
was as much noticed for her eccentricl-
ties in dress as Mrs. Aver was for her
splendid toilets.
The latter, who has a pleasing but
scarcely a handsome countenance. is a
woman probably about fifty years OF
age, but SO welded to the gay world
! that she devotes much of her time to
DGISODdI duOEllLl6lll. AACA "oA
included at that day a great variety
of wigs of every shade, so that one
day she appeared as a blonde, the
next. as a brunette and later as a
Titan beauty, with rich, auburn hair,
which seemed to be her favorite color.
Her favorite necklace vas a string of
fine pearls, almost as large as a Nren's
eggs, clasped with a diamond aiguil-
lette of great value.
Money was no object to the fair
widow. Mrs. Bigelow, who was a
welcome visitor at the houses of the
nobility in France and England, was,
on the contrary, a veritable dowdy,
notable for{the entire absence of taste
in her attire. On one occasion she
wore TO the little English church in
Vichy, a gorgeous-hued barege, cut
surplice, with a piece of ribbed cotton
tape tied around her neck, while her
hose were of pale pink and her shoes
of light yellow leather.

: 1.-THE proper way to brush the
hair" says a well known hair dresser,
sis not to brush it lengthwise, but to
hold the ends of the hair, if it is long
enough, and simply scrub the scalp
with the brush. This process pro-
notes the circulation of the blood and
excites the oil glands to action. After
the hair has been thoroughly brushed
in this way it should be then finished
with a few vigorous strokes length
wise of the hair.

Value of Massage.

In a recent article, Shirley Dare
says that massage is worth every dol
lar that it costs for the re-
lief it gives. Many women neve
know for years what it is to feel
rested and soothed till they come un-
der the hands of q masSeur. Every
motion is aforethought and OF pur-
pose, and the quiet, practlced touch
tells on the fretted nerves like the
brush of an angels wing feather.
The massage alone is enough to
take twenty years off q woman's age,
but when the wrinkles are deep,
after the penetrating ungent has had
time to nourish the skin a little, cup
ping is employed. The apparatus is
a glass cup, with rubber bulb attached,
which when pressed creates a vacuum
under it, the skin is drawn into the
cup and the suction takes the creases
out. The wrinkle treatment is harm
less enough ii n wants to bother
with it. Taken in time, with enough
exercise given the parts of the face,
wrinkles will become only a word in
the dictionary, or there will be shops
which supply them for lady physi-
clans and politicians, as they supply
gray hair switches for those who want
them.
Those dreadful lines in the throat
which betray age or wear need only
the massage and steaming to destroy
them. The hands, too, have their
treatment, which teaches the arteries
to do their work and relieve the veins
which furrow the skin.

Thew Couldn't Auction THAT.

A new insurance story is told by
Mr.. Fairbanks, general agent for
Maine for the Connecticut Life.
Years ago DIR. James Christie, the
leading physician of st. John, Me-,
was a student at the Jefferson Medi-
cal College in Philadelphia. While
he was taking a constitutional about
the Quaker City he CHANGED to enter
a poor quarter of the town, where he
found an auction in progress. In
these day the laws of the town of
brotherly love and of the State al
lowed a creditor to sell household
goods for debt, and at this particular
time a widow was being sold out for
her husbands debts, he having been
buried the day before. The woman
had a mind of her own regarding the
proceedings, and vehemently ex-
pressed them, yer the auctioneer Kept
right along. Finally the fend OF the
law called attention to the cradle and
asked for a bid on it.
A child was sleeping there, which
the mother took in her arms, and then
she asked the crowd not to bid, but
some one did make an offer and got
the cradle, w~hereupon the mother,
full of wrath, plunged her hand into
her bosom, drawing forth a paper
which she held aloft. Blast YET
said she; ''you can sell the cradle and
the stove, but here's a fve-thousana
