does not make some better provision
for the solution OF the great problem,
this session. The company is q solid,
substantial, reputable one. 1t lives
up to its contract, and there is no
question as to its financial and busi-
ness status,
But if the company proposes to
offer us a NATURALLY impure water, such
as that of the Hackensack, sweetened
by aeration or other chemical pro-
cess, it will have no favor and no
success. The water furnished to
Hoboken always has a tendency to
develop an offensive fungus growth If
it lies stagnant for any time in reser-
voirs, pipes or elsewhere. This makes
it distasteful if not unhealthy. There
is no way of eliminating the growth,
either. The germs are taken up
from the swapping soil through
which the bed of the river lies. 1t is
true the air pumping process to which
it is subjected serves to conceal the
offensive flavor, but scientific men
agree that the vegetable pollution is
none the less present. and is none
the less taken into the system by
those who consume the water.
There is such a great abundance
of water in this State which may be
impounded before it leaves the gram
itic region, and thence delivered direct
to the thirsty cities and towns, that
there can be no sort of reason or
excuse for the authorities of any
place accepting any grade below the
purest and best.

is trustee OF the estate. Last Tuesday he
asked Chancellor McGi1l 10 confirm the
sale of the estate TO Crook & Peckham
for Sic, 900, but Mr.. Record set
up that he had offered $1,000
for the estate with the understanding that
lie should h another opportunity to
bid. He offered to bid ut Ieast SO. 600
more. Chancellor McGill declined TO
confirm the sale and today Mr..
Record bid S120,000 for the
property, which includes a water
'front.'. E~x-Chancellor Runyon made out
the papers for an appeal to the Court of
Errors from the Chancelior's decision
against the confirmation of the sale.
This will stay the sale until March OF

GEN. BUFFERS BRAIN.
FOUR OUNCES HEAY IER THAN
DANIEL WEBSIER'S.

why Great Brains Observation-Disclosures
Regarding the Brains of Eminent Men
What They Indicate Result of the
Examination of the Brain of General
Benjamin f. Butler.
The brain OF the late Benjamin f. Butler
was found to weigh sixty-two ounces, four
ounces more than the brain of the great
Daniel Webster.
Up to this time Webster's brain was the
second largest on record, the largest being
that of Cuvier, which weighed sixty-hve
ounces. The average weight of the brain in
man is about forty-nine ounces.
The physicians state that the brain of
Daniel Webster was originally much larger
than at the time of his death, but that it
had become shrunken by disease and the
use of alcohol; it is estimated that at least
were lost in this way.
Think oft! The brain shrinks, the It's
sues waste, the thinking power becomes
less. all by reason of over-exertion, disease
or dissipation.
How many men and women today are
shrinking, wasting, running their brains,
and thus shortening their lives. The num-
beris legion; and yet it is all needless, it
can all be avoided; let us explain.
rrhe brain and nerves need food; not Il
food as sustains the muscles, makes bone,
makes sinew, but brain food, nerve food. If
the tissues of the brain are strained by over
application, alcohol, or other causes, they
can be kept in perfect condition by feeding
the brain properly, not with ordinary food,
but something especially designed for them.
~. L 4 ,,rpn rnfhinn has aver hqnn
known equal to the great modern discovery,
Paine's celery compound. This is O perfect
| food for the brain and nerves. 1t is no or
| binary concoction; ncrvine, sars aparilla,
or tonic, but q veritable blessing to weary
brains, oyer-strained nerves, and weakened
lives.

Thursday evening was christian En-
deavor evening" in the First Presbyterian
Church, on Emory street. 1t was the
occasion of the second quarterly rally Of
the Hudson County Union. Mr.. Charles
Garfield, President of the union, pre-
sided. The exercises opened with a
prayer by the Rev. James Grant. A song
service led by Mr.. George H. Corfeld
followed. After the reading OF the
scripture by the Rev. D.. J.. Ellison, and a
prayer by the Rev. w. w. Knox, the Rev.
Charles Herr, pastor of the Church, well
coined the audience.
The report of the committee on the
Port of New York, was next heard.
Among other things, the Chairman, Mr..
Franklin Cooper, saId:-"There are in
over 1000 sailors. or these, not over 10
per cent. ever attend a church." The
committee stated that there were two
methods of reaching these men,. One IS
to open a reading room near the water
edge, in which to hold Sunday service
once a week, n evening service three
times a week. The cost of this plan would
be as follows:-Salaries, $720; rent, S240;
coal, $40, and incidental expenses. $500; in
all, a total of 81, 200. This. the committee
felt, was 100 large a sum and so it offered
the other plan of holding services on
board ship every Sunday. BY the kind
ness of the New York Port Society they
could nave a small organ which could be
used in singing. The Secretary of the
New York Port Society, Mr.. J. w. Wake,
endorsed the remarks of Mr.. Cooper, and
in the name OF his society promised TO aid
the Hudson County Endeavorers in thel;
work.
After Mr.. Wake had concluded Miss
Carrie S. Gould, q young lady of about
| eight or ten years, sang a solo. AT the
| conclusion of the exercises a soclabie was
held in the church parlors.
