Doesn't Give Leases Now.

THE giving of leases to all sorts Of
tenants is not so prevalent as it used to
be" a real estate agent said expert
ence has shown that tenant whose
financial responsibility is limited to a
moderate income cannot be held to the
provisions of lease, and that most ten
ants take advantage of this fact. The
law of this state favors the married
debtor who has no property but his
household effects and is dependent on an
income for his living In fact, the own
ers Of houses and fats rarely sue tenants
who break their leases nowadays, and
rarely recover anything when they do.
II sued man recently who had occu-
pied one of my flats and had given it up
a year before the lease expired. He did
not even defend the suit. When l had
him summoned in supplementary pro-
ceedings he testified that his income no
more than paid his living expenses, and
that his household effects belonged to
his wife. He was released, and now
can whistle to recover my Judgment
As a rule tenants want leases, but we
don't give them if we can avoid doing
SO with ordinary apartments. We have
come to the conclusion that only the
owners are bound by the provisions Of
the leases, while the tenants do as they
please about observing them" = New

Wonders Under a Marsh.

A remarkable discovery was recently
made in the town of Oneonta, where a
company is engaged in digging phos-
pilates from the depths of a swamp. In
one place the marsh is underlaid at the
depth of twelve feet by an impervious
stratum Of blue clay, above which are
found three successive and distinct eras
of forest growths. The bottom layer is
of deciduous trees that grow only on up
lands, such as beech, oak and maple.
The second layer is of soft swamp woods,
such as elder, basswood and dogwood.
The upper layer is of coniferous trees,
such as pine, hemlock and spruce. The
puzzle to the naturalist is the finding of
upland trees at the bottom of the marsh,
with the trunks and larger limbs and
abundant specimens of leaves and beech
nuts in a good state of preservation. An
other wonder unearthed by the excava-
tions is the finding. at point five feet
below the surface and among the trunks
of the coniferous trees, of a flat stone
about five feet square which had been
utilized as IL fireplace.
The blackened stone. the large collec-
ton of ashes and cinders, and the bits Of
crumbling bones of animals indicate
that long ages ago somebody cooked food
there. That somebody must have been
man in the strictly primitive and savage
state, for no trace Of any utensil or tool,
not even a sharpened flint, has been
found among the debris of the fre.-Al-

Yankee Dispatch.

One day made some reference to the
clumsy and long-drawn-out way in
which the Russian guns were taken up
to the front. True, the roads were fright
full, the mud being beyond all descrip-
ton, but ventured to suggest that the
progress of that artillery was, in many
instances, lamentably slow.
'Wal," said the American, in broad
Yankee twang, 81 think you're right.
They've been at it for months and there's
very little promise of increasing speed.
How long, now, do you think it would
take Britishers to accomplish the same
end?'
Actually, had not the slightest idea,
but l was not going to collapse before
my Yankee interrogator, so suggested,
as an improvement on the existing state
of affairs, that it would take us, say
about fortnight or three weeks. by

AS artistic taste in home decoration

now most cared for is less forid than
quiet, and is used no longer upon mean
ingless things, but is applied to articles
Of real nse in house.
1t takes fine taste to decide on the
choice Of the pretty bits Of daintily en-
bellished textiles that are now provided
for the breakfast, dinner and tea table,
but it is safe for housekeeper not over

owy boiling cloth, and softly glmmer-
ing satin table centers, and plate mats

sudden rise, owing to the pilgrimages to
Lourdes, of the See of Tarbes. 1t was
ONE of the least important in France
thirty years ago. The Episcopal income
is higher than that OF the archbishop of
Canterbury. and all because Of the mirao-

WOODBURY., N. J, THURSDAY, JANUARY s. 1891


Several weeks ago two plainly dressed
middle aged women appeared on the
streets here as mendicants. Both had
accordions, from which they pumped
the most doleful specimens of harmony
imaginable, and to the accompaniment
they sang in high, cracked voices. With
characteristic American ssreless gen
erosity, the crowds contributed nickels
and pennies by scores and the women
reaped liberal harvest.
Among the hundreds who saw the
women here was lady who recognized
them. ~ have seen them in New York,
in Portland, Ore, and in Salt Lake
City," she said. ''They go to Salt Lake
City every year to look after valuable
property they have there The truth is,
| am told, they are wealthy. They
saved several thousand dollars from
their street earnings and invested the
sum in real estate in Salt Lake City.
Then the boom came on there and in a
few months the women were rich. Now
they have valuable investments in vari-
Gus cities, and their business judgement
seems excellent. The great bulk of
their wealth is in Utah, however, and
their property there is growing more
valuable every day.
''The women like their old profession
of harping to the public, and stick to it
as industriously as ever. They make a
surprisingly large income from it and
save a great deal every ysar, which goes
to swell their investments. The posi-
bility Of these women following men
delaney as a profession, and prospering
at it, is a striking comment on the un-
thinking. unquestioning generosity of
the American people" = Indianapolis
