The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1896-09-02

The happiest place in Europe is said
to be Klingenberg- on the Main. 1t is
the one prosperous spot, where every
body has work and an income, and
where there are no taxes, either local OF
imperial, because the income Of the
municipality suffices for everything and
leaves bonus for distribution besides.
Happy Klingenbergl 1t is oil due to
little wisdom and foresight ON the
part Of its local administration many
years ago. There are valuable beds OF
fire clay in the neighborhood, and these
the municipality had the prudence not
to sell to make the fortunes Of other
people, but retained for the benefit OF
the town. The profits pay all taxes. and
the inhabitants get the surplus divided
among them.
The ordinary method of unthrifty
municipalities Is to throw all their adj
vantages away in water and gas supply,
coalfelds, public lands and many other
etceteras, which are utilized by COM
panies, and the taxes mount up to q
dizzy aggregate eventually, all because
nobody looked ahead with public spirit
at the commencement of common enter
prise. Pearson Weekly.

SOME THlMBLES.
A Collection of Them, Past and Present

A Collection of Them, Past and Present,
Would he Interesting.
Even those people who like to joke at
sentiment fail to laugh at the old gold
thimbles of their grandmothers-the
metal worn out i'll countless places and
all stamped with the signs of use. Now
silver thimbles are possible for almost
every one, and as celluloid also is used
for thimbles the brass ones, which
brought so much suffering in the way
Of sore fingers, are rapidly passing out
Of existence
In this day, when collections are the
fad of the times, it would seem that q
collection Of thimbles would be most
interesting. Fashions have changed
very little, but the shapes are by nc
means identical, and what are known
as tailors' thimbles and have no tops
We're ut one time made of gold or silver
and even studded with jewels. Tiny
pearls on gold thimbles is favorite
fashion, albeit very perishable one,
for such small stones can never be set
suflic. >ntly deep to make them quite So
cure, besides pearls and turquoises be-
come discolored very quickly when in
constant use.
Ivory thimbles have not been in fash
ion for many generations, and those
which are now shown as heirlooms are
exceedingly clumsy and do not look as
though they could have been very com
Portable. There is one use to which
thimbles have been put which is not
generally known, and that is to make
the ends of the fingers taper, and in the
stern days Of long ago many u young
girl was forced to sleep with each finger
securely fixed in a tightly fitting thin
BILE of silver or gold. The remedy is said
to have been ef1lcacious. Philadelphia

Tho EARLY Packet Service.

The first institution of packet services
across tho two channels and the North
sea probably dates back to very ancient
times. In the days when England was
a province Of France, and during the
later period when France was a province
Of England, the need of channel for
regular correspondence must have made
itself irresistibly felt; and even after
the loss of Calais the long presence Of
English troops and English agents in
the Low Countries called for almost as
constant means of communication with
Holland.
The service probably made a great
stride in the days of the protectorate;
for Secretary Thurloe, who hung the
secrets Of all Europe at the protectors
girdle, could do so only by means of
uninterrupted correspondence with. his
agents abroad, and, being postmaster
himself, could regulate the packets to
suit his wishes. Still the system was
not extended outside the narrow seas
either during Cromwell's reign or that
Of his successor. The need for such ex-
tension became pressing only through
the growth of our colonial possessions.

DIR. Parkhursts Wise Counsel to Young
Men In Choosing q Career.
''The young man who says, i have
given my heart to the Lord, and, there
fore, am going to study for the minis
try, misses the entire point, says DR..
Parkhurst in an article ON Selecting
Career" in Ladies' Home Journal.
"There is no therefore about it. That

received recently from o young lawyer

aside my bright future in law and en-
ter the service Of the Lord. answered
him that he was writing nonsense.
What he meant by the service of the
Lord was the Christian ministry, and
that is no more q service of the Lord
than any other reputable calling. 1t is
not what man does that makes his
service Christian; it Is putting his career
under contribution to the public veal,
instead of mortgaging it to his own
preferment, that makes his service
Christian. There is great lot Of small
thinking about these matters and well
meaning imbecility that works dam
agingly all around. My correspondent
Furthermore wrote that he had learned
to distrust the law. All the more rea-
son, then, why he should stay in the
law. We cannot improve O thing BY
standing off and distressing 1T, but by
jumping in and converting it. If all the
conservation is put into the ministry
and all the brains into the other profess
sions. neither the pulpit nor the world
will profit The sum and substance Of
all of which is that when young man
has come out ON to the distinct Chris
tian ground Of putting himself under
contribution to the public veal, the Sc
lection of career best suited to him
self and to tho needs of humanity is
simply matter of studying adaptations,
and deciding by what art, trade, bust
ness or profession he can subserve that
