The Elder Mr.. Rush,s Great pax.

He is an elderly gentleman of means.
He has 2 standing high in the church
and has contributed to charities. In the
business world he has secured an honor
ed place for his firm.
Having resided in Chicago for SO
many years and having contributed gen
erously, although modestly, to it's up
building, it would seem that he should
have O reputation. And he did have q
reputation. The comparative few who
knew him held him in great respect.
But he never really tasted the sweets
of popularity until his son made a touch
down.
Never until his son became a public
character, with his picture in all sorts Of
publications and the glory of his deeds
put into display type, did the father
know what it was to hear people whis-
pering to n another: "Do you see that
old gentleman? Well, he's Mr.. Rush, IA
Their of the great half back"
Never before did he have people call
him on the phone and say "Congratu-
l~ations, Mr.. Rush. This has been a
great day."
If he happens in at the athletic club,
enthusiastic men, young and old, seize
him by the hand and tell him how he
ought to be envied, and want to know
If he had anything up OF the game.
Greatness has been thrust upon him.
The name which lay hidden in the
directory for years has suddenly become
a household word.
All Of a sudden the father finds him
self blinking in a glare of reflected
glory.
His son has made a touchdown.
He doesn't know how or why the
touch down. was made, and secretly he
has no concern as to the condition of his
sons game ankle, but he finds that
whereas he was nobody he is now the
father of a half back. -Chicago Record.

The assessors of this county are M In
arms against the requirements of the
present law in making assessments. Last
year the law was disregarded altogether,
and the property assessed under the pro-
visions of the old law. Mayor Richman
drew a new law and Senator Ward intro
dnced it in the Senate, but because of
the objection of one Senator, it is not
likely to pass. The present law requires
that all property shall be assessed In the
township or district where it is located.
This seems fair enough on It's face, but
the difficulty m when the assessors
strike farms that lay part In one town.
ship and part in another. The lines are
often unknown, the tax rate different,
and . conflict of opinion between the
owner of the property and the mortgage
holder as to where the mortgage shall be
| counted, entailing no end of trouble for
the assessors, and rendering it almost..if
not quite impossible for them to make
their assessments under 1t. Under the
old law a farm laying in two townships
was assessed in the township where the
buildings were located, and by this sys-
tenn of give and take, little difficulty was
occasioned, and a fair and just assess
ment insured. But up Jersey lived a
wealthy man, whose residence was
located in one district, but who had
erected a valuable manufacturing plant
in another district, hence this special law
under a general title, and it but empha'
sizes a fact already declared by Governor
Griggs, that there is more special legis-
lation since it vas prohibited than ever,
The law should be 10 amended at this
session as to render its'requirements easy

Hygiene.
By MARY J. BREcKINRIpaE. M. D,

Hygiene.
BIZ NARY j. BRECKINRIDaE, NJ. d.
Hygiene is that part of medicine
whose object is the preservation of health.
1t embraces a knowledge of healthy man,
as well as the objects used and employed
by him, with their influence on his con-
~stitution and organs"
l believe that the clearer the knowledge
is, and the closer we follow the rules of
health the surer the prevention of disease
will be. 1t is certain beyond a doubt,
that less misery. disease and death would
mar our happiness, if we would all live
up TO onr knowledge Of the required laws
of nature, and not allow our mistaken
notions, and often our passions, to rule us.
What are some of the hygienic
measures to be considered ? The rational
and methodical use of food, cloth ing and
of everything essential to life, both in a
state of health and disease. 1t is very
often necessary to restrict the diet and
through this measure prevent the
development of disease, especially some
of the pestilential diseases.
Two qualities must be considered in
selecting food. 1t must be nutritious and
digestible. The results of overlooking
infants form the leading factor in the
great mortality of children during the
heated term. Be careful, mothers and
nurses, that the little ones have foods
that are digestible.
When disease ZONES from foods not
properly assimilated, the secreting glands
are sluggish and do not respond to
hygienic measures. Close attention
should be paid to the clothing as we'll as
the feeding of small children. The
stomach and abdomen should be pro-
tected during the summer months the
same as during other seasons of the year.
Science is advancing step by step in all
departments and the safeguards thrown
out by the boards of health in all the
large cities and many of the small towns
and villages, If rigidly enforced, would
in time deprive disease of it's great supre-
macy.
Physicians, and the people as we'll,
should see that the laws governing sani-
tation are enforced and insist upon the
obedience of necessary requirements. In
this way only can in Infectious diseases be
stamped out. The great battle against
disease consumes much of the thought
and time of all conscientious physicians,
and it is only by living strictly up to the
light which we have on the subject of
hygiene that we can look for good and
lasting results. We need the united
efforts of all to help US. l believe the
great care taken two years ago prevented
this country from being invaded by
cholera. We should continue our vigil
ance, the Importance of which is better
realized by physicians than by any other
class of people because it is the business
of their lives to observe the natural
history and cause of disease and we are
all practically agreed that health must
come to the people who obey the avs of
health.

Insultsd over the wire.

A telegraph operator on one Of the
morning papers recently told me a good
story of how he got rid of a too frequent
visitor, whose nightly calls during bust
ness hours had come to be a nuisance.
The intruder was also an operator, but
was temporarily out of a job. One even
ing he came in as usual and planted
himself in a chair. Receiving no an
swers to his questions, he lapsed into
silence and listened to the steady click
OF the instrument. Suddenly a look of
disgust crossed his face. He arose, glared
at the operator, who kept on writing,
turned on his heel and walked out. This
happened a week ago, and he has not
called since. What was the cause of his
sudden departure? That is easily an
swered. In response to a previous re-
quest, the operator at the other end of
the line sent this message, SIS that idiot

at least two particulars. Teachers who
have agreed to have the one Der cent. a

have the right at any time to Withdraw
from membership and cease making oon-
tributions to the fund. Under the act as
it stands, after having once agreed to
have the percenta &c deducted from their
salaries they must continue to paw till
they cease to draw those salaries. Instead
of making new and eligible candidates
for retirement wait for pensions till there
8 money enough to pay them, all teachers
retired should share in the pensions. II
there is not enough money to pay all In
full, all should suffer the like proper.

made New Jersey may see teachers taxed
during ali their years of service to create

The spirit of rigid economy that
dominated the Legislature last winter
seems to have been more a sentiment
than a principle. as is indicated by the
appearance of a large deficiency bill this
session. And in addition to this the
general appropriation bill is larger by
$500, 900 than it was last year. Gov.
Griggs has taken 9 firm stand against
extravaganza in State expenditures, and
it looks as If he might have an oppor-
tunity to use the veto pan to good effect.
There are a pdD Der of exorbitant salaries
that ought to be cut down, and the cost
of the National Guard of the State is out
Of all proportion to the service rendered,
and people should insist on retrenchment

Chicago's wonderful CROWN,

In the seventeenth century the present
site OF Chicago was a swamp, which fur
traders and missionaries found fatally
miasmatic. About 1900 a government
engineer, viewing that rank morass
traversed by a sluggish stream, pro-
nounced it the only spot on Lake Michi-
gan where a city could not be built. In
1904 Fort Dearborn was erected here to
counterfeit British influence. In 1912 the
fort was demolished by Indians, but in
1915 rebuilt, and 1t continued standing
till 1871. Around the little fort In 1910
were settled $500 people. The number
was so. 600 in 1850; 100, 900 in 1860,
300, 900 in 1870, In 1880 the community
embraced SOB, 1856 souls; in 1890 it had
LOGS, 500. In 1856 the indomitable city
illustrated her spirit by pulling herself
bodily out of her natal swamp, lifting
churches. blocks and houses from s to 10
feet, without pause in general business.

A TALK ON
SEWING MACHINES. !.
With Spring sewing to be
done the need Of a Sewing
Machine is clearly apparent.
But think twice before you
buy! An order to any ma
chine dealer will fetch you one
in a hurry or more likely the
ubiquitous agent has found
you before there has been time
to look around. Good ma
chimes are numerous-but the
cost! 500 is the usual price
for a machine as good as can
be made-as good as the
Quaker City Se7oaMg Machlne
ne sell at $35. :
There are fifteen special
points of goodness about the
Quaker City Machine. We
didn't invent one of them. All
basic patents on sewing ma
chimes have long ago run out,
and any bright machinist can
build a machine. Ours are
built at a great factory whose
owner likes the big orders we
give. They cost us as much,
probably, as machines cost
other producers. But there is
no wasteful expense in the
selling. We teach their use
here we don't trade for other
machines we have no one to
protect but the retail pur-
chaser.

4 QUAINT RESORT.
Rpresents q Ship on Shore and Manned
by a Crew In Uniform.

I
represents a Ship on Shore and Manned
b. q Crew In Uniform.
There's a saloon located in the down
town district where you can splice the
main brace in the most correct nautical
language. Here the thirsty are served
BY a ships officer dressed in full naval
uniform. The bartender and his crew of
assistants appear in naval dress, which
includes swords and other side arms
and any amount of gold lace. The novel
crew comes on duty every evening. The
daylight crew are CARRIED like the ordi-
nary "beer singers of that part of
town. Inside this quaint saloon so close
ly resembles an old time packet ships
cabin that can stretch his imagina-
tion to the verge of seasickness andOnot
half try. The entrance is from one of
the city's busiest arteries, near Vesey
and Greenwich streets. Old brass nau-
teal lamps, that have seen lots of serv-
ice in all sorts of weather, hang from
the ceiling by chains. Several ancient
and dilapidated f~igureheads, which have
faced the storms of many years at sea,
stare at the scenes of revelry from cor
ners.
The walls are hung with relics of
many voyages. Pieces of rope, old ma
rine prints, portraits Of famous skip
pers of the long ago, models carved by
sailor men, old flags, many of which
ioated from historic battleships, and
other bric-a-brac of the brine, decorate
this nautical taproom, whose proprietor
| is attired in the full uniform Of a COM
modore of the United States navy. Her
"crew'' consists Of representative Off
| GERS usually found aboard a man-of-war
| properly uniformed, as well as an occa-
sional sailor who appears in the triple
blue "togs" of Uncle Sans men who
| swing their hammocks in the forecastle.
These are no imitation sailors, for every
man Jack of them is a veteran of the
ocean and rolls about as if on ship
board. The marine delusion extends to
| the old ships clock which hangs over
| the bar. It reels off bells instead Of
hours, for here the time is passed in
the choicest sea gibberish. If you should
ever steer your craft through the low
doorway of this nautical saloon, the
| chances are that you'll clutch at some
thing before you are anyway near half
seas over.
OF course the old salts ashore here are
the chief patrons of this old refreshment
room. The custom of using only nau-
tical terms in carrying on the ordinary
business of the place fascinates Jack,
and he'll walk a long way for the sake

They Were Lovers.

OF the deep attachment which existed
between the late Prince Henry of Bat
tenberg and Princess Beatrice it is al
most unnecessary to speak, so notorious
was it. They both carried their love for
each other on their sleeves. In this CON
nection an anecdote is related Last year
Princess Beatrice had her portrait doSs
BY a well knezzp- llady pastenst, who,
while a thorough artist, knows how to
combine a good likeness with a pretty
picture. One morning when the portrait
was nearly finished Prince Henry hap
pened to enter the studio. After a min
ute examination, the prince remarked
"But you have not made my wife stout
enough. l am fond of my stout frau.
