RING-RIDDEN and debauched as she
is by race-t track and gerrymandering
legislation, New Jersey is in some
things distinctively in advance of
her sister States. This is especially
the case in the matter of good roads,
No State in the Union has better
roads than can be found in her more
populous counties. Essex County,
which includes Newark, the Oranges,
and other growing towns, has thirty
eight miles of road laid with twelve
inch Telford pavement and varying
in width from so. to 100 feet. These
roads, which cost ST, 700, 900 for con-
struction and right of way, have
added greatly to the value of prop
erty in all the region reached by
them, which is filling up with hand
some homes, many of them palatial
in character. Union County, adjoin-
ing Essex, has, also made great prog
ress in improved road-making, and is
reaping the fruits of her enterprise
in enhanced realty valuations. The
experience of these New Jersey coun-
ties constitutes an unanswerable ar
gument in favor of liberal expendi-
lures and coherent system in road
building.

Beautiful Substance.

One of the most singular products
of Hawaii is vitreous lava known
as "Pele's hair" It is silky, fila
mentous substance, oliye-green or
yellowish-brown in color, soft to the
touch. but very brittle. It is pro-
duced by the wind catching the fiery
spray thrown up from the great crater
Kllauea (Which the Hawaiians long
since personif1ed as the fire goddess
Peie), but the real cause of the lava
forming into such soft, silky tibers is
believed to be the gas and steam es-
Gaping through the lava. Nearly all
OF the native birds Of Hawaii use it
as nest-building material.

Nomadic Sign Painters.

When the days are long, the artists
known to their fellow-craftsmen as
"rock daubers" make their way to the
mountains, not to return till October
is past. They scale the loftiest peaks
with the courage and agility OF a
chamois hunter to mark in mammoth
letters on the faces of rocks the
apochryphal merits of "Bingo's ber-
gamot pills, "Dunfudgin's neyer-get-
fat-any-more elixir" and many other
like nostrums. They are employed
by advertising concerns, and are hired
for from three to five months, accord
ing to the climatic conditions of the
ATTITUDES they are sent to. Those
sent South sometimes remain on the
road longer than five months. They
travel in couples. The route of each
pair is laid out before the start, and
each couple carry copy with them.
They are paid $18 to S25 week, ex-
elusive of board and travelling ex-
penses-the latter meaning for the
most part wagon hire, as they seek
unfreQuented places. Every year
their routes lie in wilder regions.

TIMES must be mighty hard amO

TIMES must be mighty hard among
the Georgia newspaper men. Here
is the Savannah News, for instance,
complaining bitterly because the
chickens roost so high. High
roosts," says the News savagely, "are
an abomination. The large, heavy
hens can only reach their roosts with
difficulty, and they are liable to be
dslodged from their position, thrown
off and injured by the fall" Precisely,
but when the hens fall off they are
much easier to get at, especially on
very dark nights. OF course it is
difficult, without dark lantern and
a warm plank, to reach the hens that
remain on the high roosts, but a
small, light ladder might be carried,
which would obviate this difficulty.
1t could be thrown away in case a
strategic retreat became necessary,
and might be utilized as an effective
yet nOiseless weapon against the fam
lily bulldog The News evidently
takes the high rOost fad too much to
heart. 1t is an obstacle, it is true,
but one which any Georgia Journalist
should be able to surmOunt.

He Didn't Mind One More.

A certain wealthy young club man
is just now telling, without men
tioning any names, his last narrow
escape from matrimonial tolls.
At a country house visited by him
recently were several interesting and
accomplished young ladies, among
whom he divided his attentions
about equally, although one of them
was continually thrust forward by
the designing mother Just as he
was about to take his departure the
latter proceeded to consult him upon
a matter which she alleged was caus-
ing her no little distress.
ut is reported, said she, "that you
are to marry my daughter Mary. All
the neighbors are talking about it.
What shall we do? What shall we
tell them?"
"Oh," responded the considerate
young gentleman, Gust say She re-
fused me. I've been SO unfortunate
in my love affairs, you know, that
the report of one more disappoint-
ment won't hurt me and you'll be
spared all further annoyance"

THE RETORT ROOM.

in spite of this the columbia rum is
not yet popular, even with those who
have had relatives reduced to ashes
in the adjoining crematory. The
same room in which the urns may be
kept is fitted up as chapel. There
is in one end platform which may
be used as pulpit, and by its side is
an organ.
The crematory is. however, the
most interesting part Of the building.
AS the picture shows, it is back of the
lumbarium and the intervening
room, where the bodies are prepared
for the furnace. When funeral
train arrives at the crematory the
body is taken to the columbarium if
religious ceremonies are desired, and
if not to the preparation room. In
the latter place it is wrapped in a
sheet wet with alum water. 1t is
then put into crate, which in turn
is placed on a movable platform. This
platform is ruin up in front of one of
the furnace doors and from there the
crate is pushed into the furnace. The
alumized sheet conceals the body dur
ing the process of cremation the only
change which an observer can notice
is the gradual shrinkage of the bulk

1t is railroad of importance to

the port of Chamaia on the Pacific.
BY it's lines running eastwardly, north

advantageous to the trade of all the

"CitiZen" Trains Income.

George P. Bemis, Mayor of Omaha,
nephew, and at one time private sec
rotary to George Francis Train, re-
ceived characteristic letter from
the "citizen," recently.
The Mayor, discussing it, explained
how Train manages to get income,
which has been mystery.
when Train was making money,
he turned over several thousand dol
lars to his wife and daughter. The
citizens daughter in that way re-
ceived at least 5000, 900. She has not
forgotten the old man, and gives him
an income designated by himself.
That income is but SIP a week, SIS
being for room and the other 81 for
postage, candy, and other items of
expense.
Train complains that he simply
eats ginger snaps and drinks three
cups of coffee day. He says that if
he had $13 week he would be both
cred to know what to do with the
extra 81. AS a matter of fact his
frequent lectures add to his income. d

OF course it was the "sooners," the
law-defying, desperate element, who
got the choicest tracts of land in the
Cherokee strip. That was the
natural result of the idiotic system
which has governed the opening of
all government reservations. The
honest, law-abiding people who re.
spected the rules OF the land office
and awaited the signal for the open
ing Of the strip" found themselves
forestalled by gangs of professional
"boomers, who had bought registra-
tion certificates from corrupt Of
ficials, and who had entered the res
ervation by the aid of other officials,
equally corrupt, hours before the
legal time. Such a result was to
have been expected, but it is never
theless the duty Of the commissioner
of the land office to hunt down and
eject these land sharks and punish
the registration clerks and inspectors
who connived at their rascality.

A PRECEDENT is likely to be estab-
lished as to the legal right of process
sions to occupy the streets, obstruct-
ing travel and business. Recently
the gala professions of the Bohemians
and the Foresters were on the streets
of Chicago for hours, stopping the car
lines, traffic teams, and even carriages
with passengers between the rail-
roads and the hotels c. A. Vinson,
of New York, who held ticket on
on eastern bound limited train, was
prevented by a policeman from cross
ing the line of one OF the professions
and he missed his train. His ticket,
of course, was made worthless. He
will seek legal redress if he can find
out who is responsible for the loss and
damage which he suffered. Mr.. Vim
son represents cause. He should
have sympathy and encouragement.

WHAT are the reasons and argu-
ments that can be adduced against
the adoption Of short skirts for out
door wear? Certainly not the fear
of the exposure of women's ankles,
for in the first place there is no rea-
son why an ankle should not be ex-
posed as freely as hand or foot, and
in the second place, as everyone
knows, woman wearing long skirts
who picks them up to avoid mud or
dust or water shows more of her ankle
and the surrounding stocking than a
woman whose skirts are short enough
not to need to be picked up.

little more sensible than the question
put to the Buddhist after the lee
ture: "Do all Buddhists lead pure
lives?" "All true Buddhists do, said
Mr.. Dharmapala. Maybe there were
men and women in Unity Church
who have read, and who practice, &C

in India who preach purity, who lead
pure lives, who live under shady trees,
in the cool caves, on the banks of

quence. There is no more excuse for
