A Man From the People.

The candidate who shall repre-
sent the citizens in the Mayoralty
contest must be one whose public
record entities him to the conf
dence of the people man taken
from the people (; and elevated by a
nominating convention because he
has the qualifications of an ideal
Mayor. He must not be trick
ster that, Janus-like, look sin both
directions. He must possess a
prudence that is controlled by de-
cision, and have that much per-
sonal and business interest in the
city which will give him the desire
to legislate for the city as though
he was acting as his own agent
Such man and such conditions
can be joined by the election of
Mr. John J. Slater to the position
of Mayor of Passaic at the coming
election.

THE CITY'S FINANCES.

No Statement can be made
that can TruthfulIy Disprove
the Assertion that the City is
now in Worse Condition,
Financially, than it was Two
Years Ago.
An analysis of the statement of
assets and liabilities is instructive:
putting to one side City holdings
not available as quick assets, such
as School property, new and old
City Hall, Fire apparatus, Fire
Alarm System, Bell tower, and
other property, this result is shown:

Mass on Mount Blanc.

An interesting event in the history
of mountain climbing and in the rec
ord of Christianity as well was the re-
cent celebration of mass on the summit
of Mount Blanc. This unique religious
venture was undertaken by Rev. Jean
BONN, the parish priest Of St. Didier,
who, with three companions, two of
them priests, and with three guides,
left Courmayeur in Piedmont, and
assembled the historic mountain, bear
ing with them an altar consecrated by
the archbishop of Turin for the pur-
pose. They started one Wednesday
evening, but were overtaken by bad
weather and compelled to pass the
night at the last shelter. The follow
ing day they reached the summit, cele-
brated mass, and returned to Cour-
mayeur by 1880 o'clock the same
evening.

A Chinese Columbus.

The belief in Chinese Columbus
was first allowed by scholars only
about fifty years ago. The claim is
that Buddhist priest in the fifth CEN
fury crossed the Pacific to this country
and returned, making written re-
port of his discovery. The report still
exists. 1t was translated into French
in 1901 by M. de Guignes. 1t gave q
narrative of a voyage eastward by a
priest for twenty thousand Ii, where he
found country which he named Flu
sang. People similar to the Indians
were described, as well as American
plants The only doubt about the
matter is as to the distance meant by
twenty thousand Ii. The priest may
have only reached some island in the
Pacific ocean.

The POISON OF til. cosRA.
So Far No Remedy Has Been Discovers d
for 1t.

The bite OF the terrible cobra of In
dia is looked upon as meaning certain
death. 1t is not surprising that expel.-
iments to determine the nature of TIL
awful poison should attract wide at
tention, when they are made in 9
scientific manner emitting their
suits to be accepted with confidence
Such experiments have recently bce&
conducted by Mr.. A. A. Kanthac.s.
The venom was obtained by PRESSING
the heads of living cobras, by which
nerve-trying operation the deadly
fluid was squeezed out of the fangs.
The fluid dries very quickly, says
Youths Companion, AMI leaves a ye
low substance resembling gum arab
or the dried albumen of egg, which
easily pulverized. The activity Of t.
poison is destroyed by prolonged boil
irg, concentrated solution of it wit
standing the effects of boiling for an
hour or two before entirely losing ii
poisonous action. A weak solution
could be rendered innocuous by bein
boiled from twenty minutes to half an
hour.
But, OF course. this can give no COM
fort to any victim of a cobra bite, since
the venom, once injected into hi;
blood, could by no possibility be sub
jected to such process of boiling.
Ammonia and chlorine water also
proved capable of destroying the poison
if applied to it for considerable time
in strong solutions, and carbolic acid
considerably delayed it's poisonous ac-
zion.
AS it has been shown that pigeons
can be rendered practically insensible
to the poison of rattlesnake's bite b.
being previously treated with minu:
injected doses of the venom, Mr.. IA
thack tried a similar experiment wit
the cobra poison. But the result wa
not encouraging; all the animals thu
treated died when more concentra-
ted dose of the venom was given to
them.
Some hope had been raised that
doses of strychnia might prove means
of cure, but the experiments showed
that there was no foundation for this
hope. So far, then, cure for the bite
Of the cobra remains to be discovered.

A BURGLAR DEMoRALIzER.

lived in the suburbs to a New York
Sun reporter, "a burglar demoralizer
that was very effective in its way, but
never got it patented, because l
didn't think I ought to. 1t was a very
simple continuance. 1t consisted mere

heard noise at the back door, and we
knew that somebody was coming. We
gathered around the head of the back
stairs and listened. The burglar got
in without much trouble and closed
the door softly behind him, and then
for moment everything was very
still. Then there was a great thud
that fairly shook the house, then an
other moment of stiffness, and then
the suppressed, but steady sound of
human voice. 1t was the burglar sit

A HosPITABLE PEOPLE.
A Country Where Strangers Are Always

The Piedmontese are to great ex-

with kindness in their eagerness to sec
strangers within their doors, and an
wayfarer who chooses to make him
self agreeable, and can break the mo-
notony of their sequestered existence,
repays them amply for his entertain

Piedmont" says:
Unbounded hospitality is character

tricts. Those who gather from plen-
tiful land the fruits which most imne-
diately contribute to mans sustenance.

a DUCKS SENSE OF DIRECTION,
Tho Fowl Is Not as Duh as Is Commonly
Supposed.

Tho Fowl II Not as Dull as Ii Commonly
Supposed.
According to James Payne, who
writes in the Illustrated London News,
the duck has been supposed to be the
dullest of all birds, so much so as to
reply in the affirmative to the invita-
ton: Oily, dilly, come and be killed. .
A correspondent in New Zealand sup
plies me, however, with an anecdote
to the contrary:
4 live on the shore of the harbor,
and have a friend who dwells on the
opposite shore eleven miles from me in
3 straight line. He lives up a narrow
creek, and in coming to my place he
has to pass number of other creeks
on either side, then several islands and
finally to cross a stretch of open water
about four miles across, where swift
tide runs and where there is often a
heavy sea- A few weeks ago this
friend came to see me and brought
with him as a present common drake
which had been bred on his place and
had never been hundred yards from
the house. 1t came over in the bottom
of the boat, where it could see nothing
but the sky, with its legs tied. When
he gave it to me turned it adrift with
my own ducks and thought no more
about it, and, in fact, never saw it
again When I saw my friend, how
ever, some time after, he told me that
on the morning after his visit to me he
was awakened by great commotion
and quacking in his duclyard, and on
going out to see what was the matter
he saw the drake which be had brought
over to me waddling up to the in
closure in rather a travel-worn condi-
ton, while his brethren were welcom-
ing him as one restored to them from
the dead
Considering what this drake accom-
plished, my correspondent justly con-
siders his achievement entitled to be |
coupled with that of the other circun-
navigator, his namesake.

low well met; but oftentimes, it has
been asserted, the running of farm
is still more costly. People as a rule
labor under the impression that the
returns more than offset the outlay.
They figure that the owner raises
enough vegetables and fruit to last
him from year to year, and the fact
that he can enjoy homemade butter
is something not to be disregarded in
summing up the profit and loss.
''Now, that idea is entirely errone-

at has always been great puzzle
to naturalists," says the Westminster
Budget, where the Ceylon butterflies
go at a certain time of year. You
see them flying over your house and
garden in thousands and tens of thou
sands in one direction, towards the
north. This goes on for six weeks or
two months, and then they all disap-
pear. Once, when travelling with my
sister in the north of the island, we
came to lonely station, and while
breakfast was being prepared we went
for a walk in the Jungle When we
got about two hundred yards in we
heard a curious sound, like a soft, low,
continuous whistle. It is never over
safe to go too far into Jungle, and
strange sounds are apt to make you
hesitate for moment. l asked my
sister to stay behind, and crawled
slowly on in the direction whence the
sound proceeded, and there, in an
opening in the jungle, found myself
surrounded by one solid mass of
brown and yellow butterflies They
were assembled by the hundreds. and
thousands over a large square, and
ten feet high from the ground. So
dense was this fluttering mass of in
scots that you could have taken them
by armfuls had you been so minded.
The sound proceeded from the move

The good understanding between
myself and the mastif appeared to
have become so well established dur

left the claim where my friends were
at work to fetch a kettle of tea from
the tent, without the least misgivings
as to my reception by him.
"Rex, who was always allowed to

so friendly that thought must have
made mistake about his intentions.

contrary, real sign that he was true

kettle, and attempted to leave without
it. Still Rex objected. He had his
doubts, and determined to give his
masters the benefit of them. There was
no help for it; was held prisoner, and

wait patiently for one of the party to
come to my relief. No one came until
nearly an hour later, by which time
my long absence had caused my
friends to suspect that was being
