OF the enormous amount of vegetables.

used every day to feed a great city like

start Is made from the outskirts of the
nelghborlng towns on either shore.
and from that time until a few hours
OF daybreak the ferry boats and ferry
houses are alive with wagons and
carts. The horses know their duties so
well that driving is scarcely necessary,
and 1t Is not an uncommon sight to see
a horse pulling a cart on which is
seated some old farmer quite fast
asleep. As soon as they get into town
they steer for the various markets
along the North river and sit on their
wagons wrapped up in blankets until
dawn, or until purchasers come along
to buy their wares. There is con-
siderable competition among the far
mers for favorable places in which to
stand their carts, and late arrivals are
not so fortunate in their sales as are
those who get into town earlier. The
life of Long Island or New Jersey

Professor Huxley ON Faith.

Imay have the most absolute faith
that a friend has not committed the
crime of which he is accused. In the
early days of English history, if my
friend could have obtained a few more
compurgators of like robust faith, he
would have been acquitted. At the
present day, if l rendered myself as a
witness on that score, the Judge would
tell me to stand down, and the young
est barrister would smile at my sim
plicity. Miserable indeed is the man
who has not such faith in some of his
fellow men-only less miserable than
the man who allows himself to forget
that such faith is not, strictly speak
ing, evidence; and when his faith is
disappointed, as will happen now and
again, turns Timon and blames the
universe for his own blunders. And
so, if a man can find a friend, the by
postasis of all his hopes, the mirror of
his ethical ideal, in the Jesus of any,
or all, of the Gospels, let him live by
faith In that ideal Who shall or can
forbid him? But let him not delude
himself with the notion that his faith
Is evidence of the objective reality of
that in which he trusts. Such evil
dence is to be obtained only by the
use of the methods of science, as ap-
piled to history and to literature, and
it amounts at present to very little

Difficulties of Portrait Painting.

Portraits in oil are seldom faithful
ikenesses of the subjects. The other
day local portrait painter was asked
why this was so, and he said it was al
most invariably the fault of the subject
especially so in the case of woman.
With photograph or crayon portrait
the subject never saw the work until
it was presented complete, while with a
portrait in oil the subject gave sittin rs
and suggestions-lots of Suggestions,
too. The painter was working for
money. He must please his subject
in order to give satisfaction and earn
his money, and consequently he was
obliged to accept suggestions. These
might please the subject by making
her look prettier. but they would
nearly always spoil the likeness. Por-
trait painting, he said, was the most
unsatisfactory branch of the art, and
portrait painters always aged more
rapidly than did those who devoted
their talents to other branches.-Ch
cago Herald.
