There is bug with name as long as
a snake that abides among the black
berries, writes Robert J.Burdette in his
inimitable department in the July
LADIES' Home Journal. He does not eat
them. He just haunts the patches
where city boarders are staying, and
makes it his business to rise early in the
morning and crawl over the largest and
finest and ripest berries. When you eat
blackberry that has been glorified by
visit from this bug, you just lie right
down in the briars and ask to die. You
do not want to live minute longer.
Not with that taste in your mouth. II
| understand rightly what a bramble is,
the blackberry, in state of nature, is
the brambliest thing that ever bram-
bled. A human being, clothed and in
his right mind, who goes in at one side
of wild blackberry patch and comes
out at the other is moved with wonder
at the compensations Of nature. For
every one of n thousand scratches on his
perishing frame he has a ready-made
bandage hanging loosely from his raj
ment. How men can behold such
things and yet vote the other ticket is
a mystery to everybody else. II you
will run your hand, or better your
sleeve, lightly down a blackberry cane,
from top to root, you will observe that
all the briars hook upward, to catch
everything that comes down. Then if
you will run up the other way, you will
observe that all the briars hook down
ward, in order to catch everything as it
comes up.

The meanest trait in human character
is disposition to disparage your neigh
Dor, to scandal them and try to make
them odious in the eyes of others. He
who maliciously sets about to defame
another is by that very act doing some
thing that should render him more con-
temptible in the eyes of his fellow than
anything he can say of those whose char
acter he wishes to blacken. II you feel
q personal dislike to any one you SHOULD
never speak of him, for you are sure to
speak with venom on your tongue, and
instead OF injuring the party spoken OF
you simply defile yourself. None of us
are perfect. We have all done things
Of which we ought to be ashamed, and
there would be mighty few people hit
with stones If only the sinless would
throw them Reputation is the most
sacred thing man has. 1t is OF more
value than life itself, and the scandal
monQer, who seeks to destroy it,deserves
hanging Is richly Is the murderer

Bituminious coal smoke is not an
unmitigated evil, as it has sometimes
been declared. The death rate of Lon
don, the largest city in the world, has
always been unaccountably low. The
scientific men of Great Britain reached
the conclusion that this is owing to the
destruction of the disease germs by the
hundreds of tons of sulphur daily
thrown into the air by the combustion
of the thousands of tons of coal con-
sumed in that city. The sulphur causes
the fog, and the fog aids in the germ
destruction. This theory finds very
general accceptance.-Lock Haven Er-

Time is great answerer of questions.
The question of the spring-tide seed
sowing is answered in the harvest of
autumn: and many question of this
life will be answered only in the life to
come. Why trouble yourself over the
questions which cannot be answered
now? Already they are in process of
being answered, but the answer is not
yet complete. Wait until the harvest
bows beneath its weight of fruit and
grain, and you will see the completed
answer written before your eyes in
russell and purple and gold.

According TO a recent act of Congress
all freight trains must be provided with
safety couplers and air brakes after the
year 1898. 'Tis a wonder Congress did
not have the act go into effect in 1900,
and thus begin the new century with a
law that should have been passed years
ago. Because this act is to go into effect
in. six years will be no consolation to the
thousands who will sacrifice hands and
arms during that time.

IT believe in getting the most out O

II believe in getting the most out of
life possible" is not an unfrequent
remark in this nineteenth century.
Usually this is said in purely selfish
sense. The one who gets the most out
of life is the one who puts the most in.
The proportion of unseliish devotion to
right living and to the happiness OF
others which we put into life measures
our share in return. with what
measure We meet it shall be measured
unto you again" Those who expect
something for nothing are every day
being disappointed. If we make our
lives useful, helpful and noble, we will
receive sympathy, love, and trust.

Down through the vista OF years,
Doth beautiful memory stray,
Leaving each time In my heart,
When II goes, golden ray.
'Tis the memory OF one that loved.
Yes, loved, In the long ago.
With u face as pure rs the angles,
And white as the driftcd snow.
With hair that was soft and brown,
And eyes Of heavens own blue,
And hands that were gentle and kind
My mother so loving and true.
Oft-times, In dreams. am kneeling,
Again by the side OF her knee.
And softly breathing the prayer
She taught so early TO me.
But she's nearer me now than ever.
For now she Is at my heart;
She's my beautiful "angel mother"
With whom shall never part.

Another Bridge to Reach From Hudson
County to the Village on the Passaio.
The necessity for bridge at the foot of
Fourth street, Harrison, to some point
east of the Pennsylvania Railroad iu
Newark has long been agitated, but it is
only within the past few weeks that any
active steps have been taken to secure
the bridge. The Harrison Common
Council some months ago sent petition
to the Hudson County Board of Freehold
ers asking for the bridge. The petition
was referred to the Bridge Committee but
no action was ever taken.
Recently, however, the Harrison Coun-
Gil has been assured by the Freeholders
that a bridge would be placed there as
soon as an approach was made. This In
itself will require several months to do.
Fourth street, as IL now Is, extends
only to the tracks of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, and there is fully half a mile of
Intervening land which is low and
swampy. This will have to be filled in to
a depth of several feet to form roadway
or the approach.
The Pennsylvania and Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western Railroad Companies
have both signified their Willingness to
render all possible assistance in pushing
the work along Dirt could be brought
in in carloads and dumped almost where
1t is needed. The scayenger has been in
structed to dump all ashes and garbage
there so that work on the approach has
actually peen begun if only in a small
way.
A bridge at that section of the city is
needed very badly, as the manufacturing
interests both of Newark and Harrison
now suffer because of the loss of
time due to going around Bridge
street. There are large manu-
featuring establishments in that
portion of Harrison. Among them are the
Atha and Illingworth Steel Works and
the Edison Electric Lamp Works. All of
them do large business with Newark,
and the manufactures in the section of
Newark east of the railroad.
The turnpike road is now bsing macad-
amized, ana new bridge is soon to be
erected across the Hackensack River, so

awarding to P. j. Condor the contract
for the building Of the Greenville station
house is to be disregarded, and that on
Monday the Street and Water Commits
sioners will pass the resolution notwith-
stand his objections.
The law relating to the award of con-
tracts for public work distinctly states
that the award shall be made to the low-
est bidder. Contractor p. j. Condor was
the lowest bidder. Mayor Wanser ac-
knowledges this, but for partisan reasons
, refuses to approve of the award,
The Street and Water Commissioners
have decided that partisanship cannot
and will not be permitted to hamper the
workings of their Board.
The members of the Board are fully
convinced that the Mayors stand is
merely one to place them In an unenvi-
able light before the public. and they do
not propose to aid him in his political
schemes by honoring his vetoes.

The Court in its opinion says:-"rhe
relator (meaning McLaughlin) was not
employed by any official act of the Board"
He was put to work" by the Chairman
of the Board. The only official evidence
OF his employment is the appearance of
his name ON the payrolls. The appoint
ment by committee is no more an official
act than the appointment by the Chair

In the case before the Supreme Court as

employment is the appearance of the name

that cures the lack of former proper

Weavers are being paid 10 cents per
yard and they ask for 13 cents. The
