THE LEGISLATURE.
lis IN Session COnvenes January
1Oah.

AV7ns
The 118 Legislature of New jersey,
which convenes in extraordinary ses
sion on January 10, will be the first
Republican L gslature since 1888. In
New J-rsey the lawmakers convene
every year, but there Is considera bile
sentiment In the State for having
them meet less frt quently because of
the expense and the confusion they
cause by the passage of from 300 to
400 new acts evey year.
The indications are that Senator
Maurice A Rogers, of Camden, will he
the president of the Senate, and As
semblyman John J. Holt, of Passaic,
will be the speaker. There is an inter
esting coincidence In this connection
Rogers will be the frat president from
Camden county since 1880, when Gen.
eral Sewell was the presiding officer
for two years, and John I. Holt will be
the first Republican speaker from Pas
sale county since G4rret A. Hobart
held the gavel, which was in 1874.
General SeweIl and Garret A. Hobart
are recognized Republican leaders,
and siuce that General Sewell has
been 10 the United States Senate and
Garret A. Hobart has been q promin-
ent factor Ia tbs Republican National
Committee.

That is all we'll enough If you casa
readily spare the means, but If yoae
purse is not as plethoric as usual, try
on the experiment of making less costsy
presents to the little ones, and you will
find that the less expensive toys, piee.-

The seeley Post Office and Store
Entered.
Some time Friday night the store OF
David Padgett, at Seeley, was entered
and robbed. The Seeley Post Office is
situated In this building, and govern
ment property, aggregating but a
small amount was taken.
The thieves effected an entrance to
the store. by forcing open the front
door, and afterwards kept themselves
pretty nusy 'or short time. About
all 'he boots and shoes were taken, a
considerable quantity of fl our, and
other store goods. About $3.50 In cash
was stolen, together with number of
stamps.
There Is no clue to the thieves but
the impression Is general that they
came in wagon, for 1t would
have been difficult to have carried off
all the pluDder that was stolen.

About nine O'Clock Tuesday morning
the fire alarm was sounded and Chief
Elwell and the fire laddies were
promptly on their way with the appar-
us to Y ork street.
But the fire department was not
needed. They had no power to quench
the flames that were causing the .uf-
fering of poor woman who had re.
ceived serious burns from a very un-
fortunate accident.
Mrs stephen Chew, who lives at
No,129 Yorke street, had attempted to
fill the feeder of a gasoline stove from
three gallon can. Mrs Chew is cure

the stove, but while she was in the act
of filling the feeder the gasoline In the
can become fired and Mrs. Chew
dropped 1t to the fl 6or.
/. Mr.. Stephen Chew, who is conduc-

the noise and rushed down In the
kitchen. Finding the blazing can on

can and attempted to carry it out

Chew who was standing there.
Instantly the light clothing of Mrs.
Chew was fred, and she ran about a
mass of fame. Her husband and
other members of the family pulled
the blaz ng dress from the poor wo-
man, but not before she was terribly
burned abont the face, neck and arms.
She was immediately carried into the
house, where her sufferings were ter.

Neighbors with a garden hose and
buckets managed to extinguish the
flames In the kitchen.

Economical Celery Soup.

Many families of small means look upon
celery as a luxury. The greenish halt
blanched stalks of the cheap bunch really
are not very good eating, and the fine,
white large crisp bunch costs too much for
the workingman's everyday dinner. But
there is an economical way of treating the
large bunch of hest celery which makes it
cheap. Use the finer portions of the crisp
stalks as a relish. All the tough portions
and the root carefully cleaned are to be cut
fine, covered with cold water and cooked
slowly till nearly the whole can be rubbed
through a strainer Half an hour before
dinner heat this liquid celery with an equal
quantity of any kind of meat broth you
happen to have in the house. and then add
one pint of hot milk thickened like "a white
sauce, with two tablespoonfuls each of but

salt. If you have no broth after your soup

ofispIaced Advertisements.

Alfred Waterhouse deserves cordial
thanks for the vigorous way in which he
has called attention to the Inconvenience
and annoyance caused to the public by n
large class of advertisers. Against adver
tisement of the right kind AMI in the right
place no one has word to say 1t is OF
genuine service, not only to the advertisers,
but to every class of the community. But
when we visit remote Welsh mountains
and valleys, or walk along the seashore, or
stroll in pretty country lanes, we DO not
want to be confronted by great staring an
nouncements to the effect that some one is
prepared to supply us Mt a moderate price
with the best quality Of soap or mustard OF
tea
Nor is it pleasant to see in the streets of
cities vast hoardings covered with Earring
masses of detestable colors, consisting of the
puffs of rival trades,nen and the boasts of
persons who have provided some kind OF
public entertainment. Still less do we like
when we are travelling to be so confused by
advertisements that we can with difficulty
make out the name of the station at which
we may wish to alight. In these things
there ought to be order and measure, SO
that people may learn how their various
wants are to be supplied without being at
the same TING irritated by the display of all
that is most vulgar and rcpulsive in the
commercial spirit.-London Graphic.

Hidden Treasure.

There is no subject more fascinating than
the search for hidden treasure, and it is one
which commends itself beyond the merely
occult and mysterious by a certain reason
ableness which appeals to common sense as
well as to the imagination, for doubtless
there is great deal of hidden treasure in
the world still remaining to be discovered,
while we may infer that a vast deal has
been actually found and appropriated to
Che uses of its fortunate discoveries. The
old fable of the dying man who so heart
lessly deceived his children by the story of
the treasure buried in his gardens hows
anyhow that such deposits were not IN
common in the remote era of the fabulist,
and indeed the buried treasure forms val
liable item in the stock properties of the
dramatist, the fabulist and the story teller
from the very infancy of their arts.
The classic dramatists did not fail to
make use of such convenient expetlient as
the discovery of buried treasure, which was
in itself an incident not altogether beyond
the lines of impossibility. Recorded in
stances indeed of such good fortune must
necessarily be rare, rs the prudent treasure
finder then, as now, must have been espe-
cially careful 20 keep his secret to himself.
But occasionally such an incident glides into
history, rs In the case of Julius, the father
of Herodes Atticus, who discovered an i'm
mense treasure buried under an old house,
the last remains of his patrimony. The
vastness of the treasure precluded any at
tempt to conceal its existence, and the prll-
dent Julius FASTENED to make known his
find to the officials of the Roman empire

Kitty Hudson, the Human Pincushion."
One of the celebrated characters" of
Nottingham was Kitty Hudson, known
throughout Great Britain us the human
pincushion" She was born in 176i and mt
the age of six was sweeper in St. Mary's
church, near Arnold. Pins were rarities
among the poorer classes and poor Kitty
! was encouraged to pick up those found on
the church floor, receiving stick of taffy
for every mouthful thus collected" This
habit of holding pins in the mouth grew Oh
the child till finally she could neither eat,
drink nor sleep without having from six
to dozen of them under her tongue and
around her gums. She would often go to
sleep with "A mouthful of pins and awake to
find them gone
The absence of the pins could be account
ed for only in one way-she had swallowed
them. Still she kept up the practice, feel
ing no i'll effects excepta numbness in her
limbs Ten or dozen years later, how
ever, she was in "a terrible plight, passing
sleepless nights and screaming with pain
nearly all the time In 1855 she was sent
to the Nottingham hospital and remained
in that institution Il year, during which
time 5000 pins were removed from differ
ent parts of her body, no less than 300 of
them coming ont through her breasts, both
OF which had to be amputated- After her
discharge from the hospital she was mar
ried twice, and became the mother of nine
children. none of whom lived to the age of
eighteen. Notwit hstanding her terrible ex
perience Kitty lived to he over seventy
years old.-St. Louis Republic.

Time That Men Waste.

Talking of dudes" said Richard Gray.
son ut the Iindell, did you ever consider
how much time man expends to keep
himself presentabie? A man with any
beard at all must shave at least three times
week. That means II waste of ten hours
month or twelve good working days in
the year. Fifteen minutes day, at the
bootblack stand will knock nearly ten more
working days out of the year. Now figure
up the time spent tying his cravat, fishing
collar buttons from under the dresser and
in various other ways pertaining to the
general 'getup' of a man, not of fashion,
but of affairs. and you will find that he
sacrifices at least one working month in
the year to his personal appearance. But
it pays. Only the man who has his reputa-

these little tributes of respect to the opinion
of his fellow men-aud women."-St. Louis

The stems of grass and oats are usually
hollow, and the knots or nodes which occur
at intervals and which have peculiar de-
gree of firmness, derived from the interlac-
ing of fibers, give them frmness and
strength which they would otherwise lack.

Wonderful Things in Heredity.

1t is a fact well established by students Of
heredity that children are apt to inherit
not only the physical. mental and moral
traits of their parents, but to be influenced
by their age as well. Children born of very
young fathers and mothers never attain Sc
vigorous a growth of mind or body as
those of older men and women, while chill
dren of old people are born old.
One of the most surprising cases in medi
cal history is that of Marguerite Cribsowna,
who died in 1763, aged l0S years When
ninety-four she was married to a man aged
los. Three children came of this union,
but they had gray hair, no teeth, were
stopped, yellow and wrinkled, decrepit in
movement and could eat only bread and

From brutes what men, from men what spirits

Or who could suffer being here below?

Had he thy reason, would he skip and play?
Pleased to the last, he crops the tiowery food,
And IicSs the hand just raised to shed his blood.

That each may fill the circle marked by Heaven:
Who sees with equal eye, as God of all,
A hero perish or Il sparrow fall,
Atoms or systems into ruin hurled,
And now u bubble burst, and now world,
Hope humbly, then; with trembling pinions

Wait the great teacher, Death and God adore
What future bliss, he gives not thee to know,
But gives that hope to be thy blessing now.
