WHAT WOODCOCK Is LIKE.
A COnntymanS Description Of II Proves SsrV.
iceable 10 Him.

It isn't always the man Of the world
who has command Of himself under all
circumstances. Many a man trained in
the worlds school might have envied the
readiness Of a man, evidently from the
country, who came into q restaurant q
few days ago with pretty young girl of
about his own degree Of verdancy.
Seating themselves both gave the
menu card that prayerful consideration
that the unaccustomed mind manifests
toward this severe ordeal. Finally the
young woman saw the legend: "Wood-
cock, $3.50" The young man had seen
It, too, but his eye had not fingered low
ing and reHectively upon It, as hers now
did. "T think" she said finally, ''that
will have woodcock."
"Did you ever eat woodcOck ?" asked
her companion.
"No," she said, "but Just thought
would tryit
"Did you ever see a woodcock?" he
persisted.
'dNo"
well, then, q woodcock is an animal
as big as young pig, and i'll were to
order one for US two everybody would
laugh. think we'd better stick to what
we know. Waiter, you may bring us two
oyster stews."

According to Professor Garrison, Of
Chicago, the crumpled and crushed form
Of the human ear was originally caused
and is now maintained by the habit Of
lying on the side Of the head. and that
this habit has resulted principally from
the great and increasing weight Of the
brain. The question originally seemed
to be whether mans ancestors would
profit most by large brains or BY sym
metrical and perfect acoustic apparatus,
and nature BY selection had promptly
decided In favor Of large brains.-Chi.

HOBOKEN NEWS.

During the past week one of the most
popular citizens of Hoboken joined the
great majority in the person of Council
man BoueeIet of the First Ward. The
Councilman was genial, whole souled
man. and his popularity was attested by
his funeral, which was one of the largest
ever held in this city.
Last night the National Association of
Letter Carriers of this city held their an
nual picnic at Pohlman's pavilion. The
picnic was a grand success from both Il
social and financial standpoint.
An effort was made last week to pre-
vent reporters from going behind the
railing at Police Headquarters to get in
formation, privilege which they have
always enjoyed. IL was supposed that
the order emanated from Captain Hayes,
but he denies that he ever gave such an
to learn who did give the unjust order,
as at a meeting Of the Police Board twas
promptly countermanded.
Councilman Tahen has q trOtter of
which he is justlyproud.
The Star Social Club, which, TO Judge
from its honorary members. is quite an
organic ttion, will hold their annual pic
mic at Pohlman's pavilion tomorrow even
ing.
Now that Councilman Boneelet has
been buried there are innum cradle aspir-
ants for the vacancy III the Council. The
most prominent candidate and the enc
who will probably capture the office is

Weinthal has been one of the leaders of

booked for the nomination last spring.

THE points raised in our news
columns today regarding the Free
holder election muddle may seem to
the thoughtless premature; but in
truth it is never too soon to consider
a serious public question. 1t is FORUM
ate the next session of the Legislature
comes before the crisis arrives. We
admire Mr.. Allan L. McDer-
motifs confidence but we
think he would find the tangle
hopeless when he came down to de-
tails, If he had to unravel it in its
present shape. He would certainly
have to drive the traditional coach
and six through half dozen clauses
of the ballot reform law.
We think our reporter has made
very clear the principal problems to
be solved. At any rate this early in
dication of their existence will serve
to awaken the intellect of our local
statesmen and they can address them
selves to finding remedies between
now and the time when the law
makers assemble.
