H0B0KEN LEGISLATION.
The City Will Probably Ask For
More Policemen and a Paid
Fire Department.

At the meeting Of the Hoboken Council
last night letter from Mayor Grassmau
was read, asking the Board to provide
rules and regulations for the Office Of
Building Inspector. The Mayor
stated in his letter that the
Office OF Building Inspector had been
created some months ago at a salary Of
sl.2OO year. and the Office was filed. He
said that the Office as it at present stands
Is slnecure; that there were no duties
laid down and he hoped that the Board
would attend to the matter as speedily as
possible. After some discussion Chair
man Stanton advised the two committees
whose duties It is to prepare the rules and
regulations to make report at the next
meeting night.
Quite a breeze was created when the
Legislation Committee of the Council
made its report. The committee recon-
mended two bills to be presented TO the
Legislature The first was that the city
De empowered TO increase the police force
Oy ten men and the other that the volun-
teer TIRE department be entirely disbanded
and paid fire department established.
Councilmen 1imken and Erienkoetter
spoke against the increase OF the police
force. Councilman Kelly said that there
ought to be at least fifteen or twenty
more policemen. Councilman Boneelet
relHted an incident Of how a man was
waylaid in broad daylight In
Fourteenth street. Councilman Boncelet
thought that there ought to be at least
twenty-five more men on the force, and
sub-station should be built uptown. The
sentiment OF a majority Of the Board fav-
ored an increase in the number Of police
men. and there appears 70 be no doubt
but what both bills will be presented to
the Legislature.
Before adjourning Chairman Stanton
exacted a promise from Councilman
Boncelet that the police aud ambulance
van would be In use this morning,

The Best Half of Life,

The best half of life is in front of the
man Of 40, ifhe be anything of man.
The work he will do will be done with
the hand of a master, and not OF a
raw apprentice. The trained intellect
does not see "men as trees walking,"
but sees everything clearly and in just
measure. The trained temper does
not rush at work Like a blind bull at a
haystack, but advances with the calm
and ordered peace of conscious power
and deliberate determination. To no
man is the world SO new, and the
future so fresh, as to him who has
spent the early years of his manhood
in striving to understand the deeper
problems OF science and life, and who
has made some Roadway toward COM
pretending them. To him the COM
monest' things are rare and wonderful,
both in themselves and as parts of a.
beautiful and intelligent whole. Such
a thing as staleness in life and its
duties he cannot understand. Knowl-
edge is always opening out before him
in wider expenses and more COM
manding heights. The pleasure of
growing knowledge and increasing
power makes every year OF his life
happier and more hopeful than the
last.-The Hospital.

CHICAGO, June GA special to the Daily
News from Washington says:
''The current number Of the Army and
Navy Journal, which is a semi-o fficial
organ of the war department, says: We

nouncing the marriage of DR.. Schofeld. as
we have authority to state that the reports
are absolutely false This positive asser-
ton by semi official paper which says it
speaks from authority is causing much
comment in army circles. MANY prominent
officers insist that the wedding will never
take place, and the fact that the genarel's
relatives are in the dark on the ma tier adds
to the uncertainty"

Superstitions about rocks, which
were once popular among the peasant
classes of Europe, are dyingout. The
familiar legend is OF a rock which,
moved at a certain time by some
strange witchcraft, revolves or rolls
aside, and discloses treasure hidden
beneath, the time usually being spe-
cially announcement for witnesses, as
for instance, con the stroke OF twelve
on Christmas Eve" A peculiar story
of this kind is still told in Normandy.
NJ. Julien Tiersot writes OF it in the
Revue DIES Traditions Populaires:
In the neighborhood OF Caudbec-en-
Caux there is a stone which, the coun-
try people say, revolves while the
bells ring the Angelus atnoon on Good
Friday. A walk in the country in the
spring at the hour ofnoon is an agree
able diversion, and the sceptical
stranger readily consents to 60 and
see the alleged magical stone.
The stranger and his escort reach
the stone and wait. Time passes. 1t
is afternoon.
"But the stone has not yet moved!'
he says.
stWait, you have not heard the
Angelus rung yet, for on Good Friday
the Angelus Is never rung.

A Jewel in a Serpent's Head,

There is belief current in all parts
OF India that a certain variety of
snake called shesh nag, when in at
tains the age OF one thousand years,
has precious jewel formed in it's head.
The jewel, 1T is affirmed, possesses the
quality OF sucking up the poison OF
the deadlist snake if applied to the
wounded part. Strangely enough a.
Paris gentleman is reputed to possess
this invaluable jewel, according to a
correspondent of a Guiarati weekly,
published at Wadhwan, in Gujarati.
The correspondent says that when the
present owner-who, by the way, is
now sixty-three-was twenty-three
years old, he lighted upon a snake of
the above mentioned variety, which he
killed. Then he found the jewel in his
head. It has already saved several
lives. When Mr.. Vidal, the collector
of the district, was thereit was shown
to him, too. The jewel is said to con-
tain a thin, crescent-like fiber, which
increasingly oscillates in the center.
The Galkwar OF Baroda, the Mahara-
iah of Kolhapur and several of her
natives princes are said to have offer
ed several hundred thousand rupees
for this unique jewel. The name of the
owner is Mr.. Framji Badabbai Cove

They are Divided off Into two
Classes Mobiles and Common Peo-
pie.
The Natchez were divided into
nobles and common people, which
last, with an arrogance not peculiar
to savage alone, were designated
''stinkards."
The mobiles themselves were divided
into Suns, mobiles, and men of rank.
The Suns, according to tradition, were
descended from q man and woman
who come down from the sun to teach
them how to live and govern them
selves. They enjoyed immunity from
punishment by death, and their no.
bllity was transmitted only through
the female line. Although the children,
both male and female, bore the name
OF Suns, the males enjoyed this hon
or IN their own persons alone. Their
male children were only mobiles; the
next generation were men Of rank, and
the third lowered them to plain stink
ards, although distinguished actions
might retard the deterioration of the
blood. But the case was very differ
ent with the female posterity. They
enjoyed through all generations the
privileges of their rank. Laudoniere
speaks Of a queen "who was much rev
erenced by her subjects when he
visited Florida"
The nobility never intermarried. AS
we have already noticed, one of their
laws prohibited their being put to
death for anv reason wb atcoo
Another law decreed that when a Sun
died, his or her conjugal partner should
be put to death at the time of burial
