PUBLIC TASTE rs CONFIRMED.

Mr.. B. built himself a house some
years ago. The architecture was sim
plic1ty, as a friend said, ito a riotous
degree" 1t was correspondingly pure,
and the house was correspondingly com
Portable. The effect of the lines, how
ever, upon the untutored mind was moi
impressive. A friend was visiting Mr..
BIS town. inouiring the way to the
house was told by the boy of whom ne
asked the question to .'go long bout a
well, a mile. TIL you come to a GUS
at looks like a barn, only it amt a
barn, an that's hisn.''
B enjoyed the description, and told
his architect. who made a few remarks
about public taste which would have
offended public taste very much to hear.
That's their verdict" said the archi-
tect; but what does It amount to?
1t simply proves" etc, etc.
Two weeks later three friends of b
rode up from town on horseback, entered
the grounds, and stopped before the
house. One of them dismounted and rang
the bell, and b himself opened the

B almost swooned.
The horses had tried unanimously to

company did not cross the Hackensack
meadow with IT'S pipe from Beilevlle.
1t is proposed to place the pipe at least
a mile above Belleville.
The question of a temporary supply
was taken up and Mr.. Holmes said. that
lnasmuch as the specifications did not
call for a temporary supply his company
made no provision for such a supply
In conclusion he argued that the con-
tract should be awarded to his company
without delay. inasmuch as it's bid was
so much lower than all others. 1t was
thought that a temporary supply couio
be furnished owing to the fact that the
East Jersey Water Company has water
for sale. and under its contract with
Newark must sell it before 1900.

A HEROIC PHYSICIAN.

There are doctors and doctors, but one
of the most intelligent of all these friends
of humanity was one who had the cour-
age recently to give a bit of advice to

TO RETAIN YOUTH.
Valuable Hints for Those Who Fear
Old Age.

The American woman has the faculty
of growing old much more rapidly than
the French woman, or the English
either. for the matter of that; and the
why and wherefore of this state OF
things has been the occasion of a great
deal of and inquiry. One rea-
son WHY American women fade more
apidl than their transatlantic cousins
is hat they are always in a rush. Many
of them never know-at least they act as
though they did not-how soon, by some
unexpected business speculation or turn
of fortunes wheel, their husbands may
become millionaires or run for office;
then they will be of the utmost impor-
lance. and they act as though they
could hardly wait to get there. Sensible
women are learning to take life more
quietly. and to give themselves rest and
time to let the wear and tear slip away
from them, and the wrinkle get ironed
out of their faces.
A woman who values her appearance
should see to it that for a certain num-
Der of hours every day her countenance
is perfectly relaxed and the muscles of
the face have rest. A continual strain
of any one set of muscles disturbs the
body and destroys the symmetry, which
is only another name for beauty. Many
women age because they get too little
sleep: others give themselves up to anx-
ieties and worries of various sorts and
never allow them to be forgotten save
during the hours of sleep. Worry is the
hardest work in the world and the least
profitable of any of the occupations that
women can follow. 1t is very difficult
for persons of certain temperaments to
take life quietly and smoothly. but it is
the only way to keep young and good
looking. However hard it should be it
should be studied as an art. this grace
of tranquility. that comes easy to some
| people ana SO very, very difficult to
others. There is no situation in life but
has it's compensation. n TO be spared
| great Affections is about as much as
many people are permitted to hope for.
There are lives. many of them. that
| seem to have had all the completeness
plotted out of them, they simply, are al,
lowed to be reasonably comfortable, but
| never happy. Such things sometimes in
cline one to believe in fate, or at least
to wonder if there are influences al
work that serve out to some people the
beauty and brightness of life and re-
serve for others the clouds and sombre-
ness.-New York Ledger.

COLONEL HARRIS FORTUNE.

Colonetl Benjamin F.. Hart, command
err of the old Ninth Regiment of Hobo
ken. received word yesterday at his Ho-
boken residence from Di Barnidy Bros,
london bankers, that he was heir to a
large estate in London, left to him by
his father.
In 1882 his father deposited in the Bank
of England about $4,000 in Spanish con
soils and the money has remained in TIE
bank untouched since then. Eighteen
months ago Colonel Hart received a
letter from his cousin in England stat
ing that his name was published as one
of the heirs to unclaimed English es-
tate. Colonel Hart is in the wholesale
provision business in New York and is
said to be well off financially.
