THE victory of Jersey City in the
certiorari proceedings relative to the
Snake Hill purchase has had very
remarkable result. The reduction of
the price some $32, 900 is a notable
commentary on the previous bargain
made by the Freeholders. OF course
that quarry is very fine to talk about j;
but the fact is it ought not to repre-
sent over $40, 900 difference in the price
if the previous one was honest. In
our Judgment, the new contract
is still open to some suspicion. The
members of the Finance Board and
the city law officers ought to look
closely into the matter before they
suffer it to be ratified. The price still
looks big. If the county really needs
the land, why does it not take it by
condemnation proceedings? If their
price is fair, the present owners should
not object to have commissioners pass
on it. II it is not fair, the Freehold
ers should insist on having it reduce d
by process of law.

The stock in trade of the professional
diner out is his dress suit and the people
he knows. Smith invites him because
Jones does, and Brown because Jones and
Smith do. He lives ineNpensively, in a
cheap lodgings or a club, where he never
pays for any meal but his breakfast. In
deed, a diner out who is master of his pro-
fession can get plenty of invitations to
breakfast, too, so hat his actual outlay on
himself may be reduced to the merest cost
of bed and clean linen.
l know one man who, on an income of
less than 81 200 a year, which is the rent ola
house left him us sole inheritance by some
relation, feeds fatty from years end to
years end and still has money over. And
no one, TO meet him at the festal board,
would set him down for anything less than
a millionaire. But he possesses an excep-
t~ionally ample capital.
The income of the average professional
diner out is generally nearer $12 a month
than 81 200 Il year. Indeed there are many
who not only feed on their friends, but
lodge and dress on money borrowed as
well.-Cor. Pitrsburg Bulletin.

Changes in the Human Voice.

The human voice changes least of any
thing about the individual affected by
time. Who has not recognized an old time
friend merely by the sound of his voice?
When the face and figure are wholly for
gotten, or have changed so much by reason
of age and disease as to be no longer at
once recognizable, the voice recalls the past
and works successfully upon the memory.
From the hour when youth breaks in upon
the piping treble to that when old age re-
news it the voice remains about the same,
affected by neither sickness nor health,
poverty nor prosperity. Friends have rec
ognized each other by the voice when not q
landmark of individuality was left to the
eye.

to readily remember names. A few words
will almost certainly recall the name and
surroundings-that is, if there was ever
any earlier familiarity between the indi-
viduals. | have successfully tried that
method repeatedly. A little attention to

First Glass Idea.

After the harvesting it is well in some
localities to consider the ACCESSIBILITY of
constructing a small fishpond on the
farm, if such a lake is not already in
existence. 1t can be of value in several
ways. Fish culture is not an unproft-
able work to carry along with the farm
work. Such d pond will furnish good,
pure drinking water for the cattle, and
in the winter time sufficient ice may be
gathered from it to supply one with this
commodity all through the hot weather.
In fact, a good pond near the house Or
barn can be utilized in many ways

AT that hour Mr.. Healy, the defendant,

were sent to bring Mr.. Healy in. The
defendant came in at 1:30 p. NJ, and ex-
.cused himself on the ground that he
thought 2 o'clock was the hour.

partly based on newspaper reports and
partly On a talk he had had with the le-
PENDANT. He was excused because he
had talk with the defendant about the
case.

he was not on speaking terms with Mr..
Healy.
Jas. Holt was excused because he had
heard part of Mason's testimony.
Ed. .Brunsman was satisfactory to
both sides. He had read the TRIBUNE
and formed an opinion, but evidence
could change it.
Jas. T. Mcdonald had an opinion on
the merits of the case, and he was ex-
scused because he bad talked with people
who claimed to know the facts.
Chas. Wallace was satisfactory to both
sides, and was sworn as a juror.
z. C. Remington was excused because
he heard some of the testimony before
the justice.
Joseph Dietrich had talked with Mr..
Healy on the merits Of the casa, and he
was excused.
Jerry A. Barnes had a strong opinion,
but was satisfactory to both sides. He
got off, however, because of sickness in
his family.
Frank Frisby was excused because bis
head clerk is sick abed, and he had nc
one in the store who could compound
prescriptions. "
Frank Denzel was excused because he
was not a full citizen.
Frank Vincent admitted that some.
times he went by the name of Clayton.
Counsel had private consultation, but
did not agree to excuse him. He was ex-
cused after further questions.
P. D. Stevens had an opinion, but he
could render a verdict in accordance with
the testimony. He was excused because
he had talked with parties who claimed
to know OF their own knowledge the
facts in the case.
Albert p. Lucas was excused because
he hadsheard part of Mr.. Mason's testi-
mony in the justice court.
