BGfied In Laces.

Lace headdresses, or what were called
heads Of lace, were very fashionable in
England in the reigns of Mary and
Anne, and the ladies of the court some
times paid very large sums for a fine
head of French or Flemish lace b,1+ +bo
extravaganza in this fragile article of
luxury was never carried to the same
rulnous extent as in France. It was
however, profusely worn during what
may be called the lace epoch. and was
even coveted as an article of adornment
after death.
Mrs. Oldfeld, the celebrated actress
left instructions that she should be laid
in her coffin arrayed in a very fine head
dress of Brussels lace. in a shroud of
Holland linen with lace tucker and ruf-
fles and pair of kid gloves. Yards of
the costliest point d'Angleterre and
Mechlin laces were wrapped around the
corpse of the beautiful Aurora Won
Konigsmarck before she was laid in her
grave at Quedlinburg, and many of the
mummies found in the catacombs of
the Capuchin convent at Palermo are
swathed in the same costly funeral
robes. journal.

Jerseys Postal Record.

New Jersey is one of eleven states in
which the postal service is self-sustaining.
The latest figures show that last year the
surplus revenue of jerseys post Offices was
5000, 26S. rs. Only four states In the Union
beat that record.
The total postal receipts in the State last
year reached 81, 365, Cos. 50. OF this amount
81, $40, 1913. 50 came from the sale OF postage
stamps, stamped envelopes aud postal cards.
Box rents yielded s44,670.42, while the
sales of waste paper amounted to Sl9. 800.
The expenses of the service for the year
were 81, 163, $50. The expenses we're for
the following purposes. Compensation of
post masters. 1903. $780, "A; clerks, rent. fuel.
light, S139, 09S. 96; letter carriers. S205. $685.
60; railway postal clerks, S37,757.74, and
transportation OF the mails, s42S, 1851.
There are S31 post offices in New Jersey,
an increase of twenty-four over the prev
ious year. Thirty new offices were estab-
lished and six were discontinued. Sixteen
postmasters died during the year and sixty
resigned.
The bulk of the business of the service
came from the cities and towns. The rural
localities yielded very little revenue to
Uncle Sam. The seyenty-three post offices
in the State of the Presidential class, so
called because the postmastsrs are appoint
ed By the President and receive at least
81, coo a year. contributed nearly all the
postal revenue of the State. They furnish
81, 0S3. 040 81 of the total. These post
masters received $40, 600 insalaries.
There are 454 pest offices in New Jersey
where a free delivery service is in opera
ton. Only thirty-fye OF these delivery
services paid expenses. or, i'll other words,
in only thirty-fve places did the local
postage exceed the cost of the carrier sys-
tenn. There are 1928 miles Of mail lines
in the State. operated at a cost last year
of S465, SGS. 96. The number of miles served
by horse c~onyeyanees is 900.
There were 121, 1872 money orders issued
during the year, involving the sum OF
81, 423, 99S. 10. There were 70, 919 postal
notes issued, involving the sum OF sl4l,-
St4.7 70.

One of the most interesting of the CEN

Establishments in the State; New York las
793 and Pennsylvania 544. These 366 hot
houses are under s, 703, 554 feet of glass,
not quite half the amount reported from

There are only eight women in the bust

Presbyterianfsm In salem.

Presbyterianism in the vicinity of Salem
dates back to 174S, although the Presby-
terrain church at Salem was not organized
till 1921. For eight years previously the
Presbyterians had worshipped with the
Epise0paliaos-a Presbyterian minister &C.
cupying the Episcopal pulpit as occasion
offered. This cooperation. however, was
summarily terminated in 1920, when Rev.
Ashbel Green, d. D., President of Prince
ton College, had been invited to preach on
a Sabbath when the rector was absent.
The assembled people were refused adj
mission to the church, and the exclusion
of Presbyterians from the holding of pub
lie services was by direction of the new
rector and vestry. This led the Presby-
terians to take immediate steps to organ
ize and build a church of their own. Col.
Johnson, a friend of the church, contribut-
ed 81 ,200-half of the amount necessary
for the original building besides giving
thes site. The Salem church 10 its first
three years increased from six TO thirty
one members, and from az attendance of
fifty to two hundred. Now it has over
240 members. In 1928 the church raised
annually about fifty cents per member for
missions. Now its average is 1920 per
member for missionary and benevolent
nolh. AtSFs JVitu bdittJ WHO WAS tue

ministry the present church building was
erected at q cost of s27. 900, ten times the
cost of the original building. After Rev.
Daniel Stratton's death in 1866, Rev. F.
w, Braups was chosen pastor. His first
sermon was on the text, "Art thou he that
should come or look we for snother?"

with him they concluded it was he that
should come. and it was needless to look

wood, on Tuesday morning, in her 83d
year. Services were held at the NJ. e.
Church, Mullica Hill, Thursday morning.
jeremiah Allen, a well-known Freud,
and for many years %janitor of the Orthodox
Westinghouse at Haddonfield, died last
week, aged Is years. The deceased was q
native of Salem county. He lived a quiet,
nnostentatious life, respected and beloved
by all. The funeral took place on Friday.
The Philadelphia Press of yesterday, in a
dispatch from Cincinnati, Ohio, under date
of May 90, contains the following:
"Rey. II. j. Hamilton, of Homestead, Pa,
a delegate to the Baptist Convention, which
is being held in this city, was fatally iDjur-
ed about 2 o'clock this morning. While
passing a building in course of erection
near the corner of Walnut and Fourth
streets, a large stone fell from the third
story striking him squarely on the head.
He was removed to the City Hospital where
he died this morning." Mr.. Hamilton will
be remembered as former pastor Of the
Mulliea Hill Baptist church, where the
news of his nntimely death was sadly re-
ceived by many sorrowing friends. Mr..
Hamilton was a writer of much promise,
having contributed many articles to the
MONITOR, among them being a series OF
letters written while on a trip to Scotland.
The last articles we printed from his pen
were descriptive of the coke industry in
the vicinity of Connelsy lille, Pa, where Mr..
Hamilton was stationed at the time.
