Charm of New England Scenery.

There is something in the New Eng

lowlands or in the highlands, whether
on the seashore or among the mountains,
which is permanently attractive. 1t is
never wearisome, never monotonous In
winter the White hills are sternly Sc
rene and beautiful in their mantles Of
snow, and though less inviting than in
summer appeal to the imagination with
striking effect. The variety of hill and
valley is such that even when the snow
covers the ground and nature takes on
the appearance of uniformity the charm
of the view is not lost, but heightened.

A Party To a Nonogenarlan.

At the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
G. Hall, on Chapel street, Trenton, last
Wednesday evening, a PLEASANT birthday
surprise was given Mr.. William X. Dat, a
grandfather Of Mr.. Hall, who is now one
of Trenton's oldest and most remarkable
citizens. He is ninety years of age, but
hears perfectly, reads and writes without
the aid of glasses and converses fuenlly
on oil the topics of the day. His men,
DRY, too, is excellent, and his head is well
covered with iron gray hair which would
do credit to man OF fifty. He can walk
a mile or two with ease, and his health,
SO far as can be seen, is almost perfect.
His friends who gathered there pre-
sented him with a large Turkish rocker,
and the occasion was a most enjoyable
one. Among those present were Mr.. and
Mrs. Dennis Schenck, of MI. Airy; Mr..
and Mrs. John Corle, of Neshanic Mr..
and Mrs. Samuel Corle, of Trenton Mr..
and Mrs. Isaac V. Hall, Mr.. and Mrs. G.
N. Stryker, Mr.. and Mrs. A. ]. Hall, and
the Rev. G. II. Ingram, pastor of the
Fifth Presbyterian Church, to which Mr..
Dat belongs, and in which he is ruling
elder.
Mr.. Dat was born in Philadelphia in
1904, lived portion OF his life near this
city, aud moved from here to Illinois In
1868, returning to New Jersey last year.
He is well known throughout Hunterdon
and Somerset counties, and at one time
held the Office of Major under General
Cadwalsder. State Gazette.

Two years ago Melachi Walters, of
Glen Gardner was sent to State Prison
for an alleged assault on girl of tender
years near this city. His sentence was
for ten years. About a year ago some
friends of this man became convinced that
he was innocent of the crime which had
convicted him, and that he had been
cruelty charged with the offense simply
to screen and save the real culprit. These
men set about securing the mans pardon,
and last Wednesday Walters was set free,
after suffering -unjustly, it is believed
over two years in State Prison. He was
the reputed husband of the notorious Ju-
liza Beam, the victim of the tar and feath-
er outrage at Glen Gardner.

that capitalists have bought up most of
the zinc land and stand ready to buy the
remainder as soon as u railroad Is started

that such road will be started this year,

On last Thursday evening severe
electric storm passed over part of Del
aware township. The barn of R. II. Ro-
mine, who lives on the road 10 Oakdale,
one mile from Brookville, was struck by
lightning, and the barn and contents en-
tirely consumed. The NOW was filled
with about % tons OF hay, it is estimated,
and there was also in the barn farm wa
gon, plows, harrows, threshing machine
and other farm machinery, all of which
was destroyed. Two horses were 10 the
barn and were stunned by the electricity.
One of them was gotten out but the other
seemed to be SO paralyzed that he could
not be urged to get up, and was burned
to death, as were also nine shoats and
some chickens. There was some insur.
ance on the building, but nothing on the
contents. The loss is estimated at $1,000.

Selecting College.

The wise parent, in trying to select a
college for his son, will ask first, not
where the most learned professors are
still less, of course, where the best base
ball team is, or where most sons of mil
honaires congregate-but where the
tone Of social life is purest and man
liest;, where the young men behave nei-
Their as young monkeys nor as rakes,
where the conditions for complete moral
autonomy are most fully established.
At the same time he will ask what col
lege best understands its business,
which is to impart that culture intel
lectual and moral, which is essential to
free manhood, and does not attempt to
forestall the university by dabbling in
professional knowledge or erudition. =

BASE BALL.

and the home team played long drawn
out but quite an Interesting game on the
Association grounds on Thursday OF last
week aud The Browns were taken into
camp quite nicely with the score l6 to 10
In favor of the home team.
AT the end of the third inning the Wis
itors went to the bat and things looked
quite dubious for the boys until the third
man was retired with two bases on balls.
A two Dagger by W. Skillman, assisted
by errors Of Hurley and Ely, six runs yere
scored by the visitors. But this was the
last Of their n-getting, as not Brown
crossed the plate after the fourth inning.
The boys seemed TO realize the situation
and played ball throughout the balance
of the game. Eyre led at the bat with
four hits to his credit, closely followed by
Ely and Bilby with three hits each. Hur-
ley aud Billy were decidedly little off,
and their errors were of the costly kind.

IMPURITIES IN FOOD.
They Are Not as Common as Many Persons

They Are Not as Common as Many Persons

Singularly exaggerated ideas concern
ing the authorization of food are very
generally held, according to Dr. H. w.
Wiley, chemist of the United States de-
partment of agriculture. Sand, for in
stance is not sold with sugar--at least
in the United States.
The granulated and lump sugars in
the market are almost absolutely pure,
powdered sugar sometimes, though rare
", contains little -four or starch, and
low grade sugars are impure chiefly
through the molassees and water they
are made to absorb = manufacture.
Not as good report can be given Of
sirups. There is very little pure maple
strip, most of what is sold as such be-
ing mixture of glucose or cane sirups,
with small proportion of the product
Of the maple, while In an imitation ac-
tually protected by a patent the maple
flavor is given by an extract of hickory
bark Liquid honey is largely adulter-
ated with glucose. OF comb honey,
however, only that in bottles and jars
Is impure, the old impression that comb
honey on the frame is adulterated hay
ing been proved to be erroneous.
Ground coffee is so largely adulterat-
ed with chicory, peas, beans, etc., that
1t is rarely found pure and even the
unground berry is initiated. Tea is rare
ly mixed with foreign leaves, but fire.
quently has its weight increased by the
addition of salts of iron and copper
materials quite prejudicial to health.
Cocoa and chocolate are largely adul-
terated with starch and sugar, and
products claimed to be greatly improved
as to digestibility may have little Of the
virtues Of the original cocoa bean left
In them.
A danger in canned goods is the use
of adulterated tin, which may contain
as high as 10 per cent Of lead, the Or
ganic salts formed by the corrosion Of
the lead being always poisonous. The
common practice of coloring canned
peas with copper is very Objectionable.
The use of preservatives, such as salt
cylic acid, is not without risk, while an
occasional source of danger is the devel-
opment OF heterogeneous bodies called
ptomaines in preserved meats. The
above are illustrations of the principal
food authorizations, which, though bad
enough, are insignificant in comparison
with the startling reports that have
been published. Much the greater part
Of foods we eat is pure and wholesome.

"A strangers first question after ar
irving 10 town is-"Where is Montgom
ery's Riverside Park 2" The answer is
''In the shade"
Situated on the Delaware river in the
rear of the P. r. R. shops having an area
of two thirds of an acre, is "Montgom-
ery's Riverside Park. -
Mr.. Robert Montgomery is the origi-
nator, ably assisted by Dick Naylor and
Jno. Moonap; also by Harry B. Akers,
who has kindly offered 10 paint sign
board for the new park.
That Mr.. Montgomery is an energetic
man is plainly to be seen by the improve
ments he is constantly affixing to the
park; cutting down trees, underbrush.
filling up ponds, hollows, etc., trimming
trees, and doing many other things too
numerous TO mention, but each taking
great amount of time and labor
II any ladies and gentlemen desire to
visit the park, the writer of this article
has not any doubt but what Mr.. Mont
gomery would gladly receive them and
personally conduct them over the
grounds.
The sulphur and mineral springs, cat
aracts, &C., are all in an undeveloped
state, but we must give 'the gentleman 10
charge" time TO remedy these triaes.
Perhaps sometime in the future there will
be rustic seats along the river bank, and
who knows9 it might be connected by a
rustic bridge to O'Neil's Isle.
This unpretentious park does not claim
to be Central Park, or Paramount Park,
but it is just what it is: Montgomery's
Riverside Park, where all lovers Of wild
flowers are always welcome to gather
them from the east side OF the park.
The menagene at Cadwalader park, in
Trenton, started with monkey and
chicken with four legs. If any one in
this community has any such curiosity,
the writer would urge them to present
the same TO "the gentleman in charge"
Some OF our young men have been
talking about bicycle track. Perhaps
1t would be to their advantage to consult
'the gentleman in charge" about con-
structing one in the part.
