His Strange Habits.


Elizabeth, N. j.. Sert News ha
heen received of the deatt. in the ham
let of Cnionville of Peter Johnson, on
of the most eccentric of New Jersey,
tribe of aged and peculiar hermits.
He was 76 years old and lived alon
In little house with a cat and a few
chickens. For several years he hat
not spoken to his brother, who livet
near him. in the town of Union.
On a so foot hickory tree, near thu
house in which the neighbors found hin
dying, several ladders were lashed. b!
these ladders he climbed daily to rh'
topmost branches, despite his great age
There he exhorted with religious fervo
to the world at large, depending upoi
chance wayfarers and struggling neigh
bors for an audience.
He was often heard praying or sing
ing hymns in his tree top pulpit at al
hours of the day and night.
The owls heard his prayers and songs
OF praise and answered with cries which
betokened a feeling of kinship between
the religious recluse and the other un
tanned inhabitants of the Jersey woods
The grounds and fences about the
place are decorated with hand painted
signs in big black letters with white
background. On the fence near the roac
is a sign which reads:
IF you hitch here. I'll cut you clear
Over the gate is huge sign:
"Infidelity is a through ticket to hell
without change of cars"
At the left end of the house is sigr
6 feet in length on red poles:
pride shuts the door of heaven anc
opens the gates of hell"
Over the well, GLORY be to Jesus"
The top of the wood house Is In.
scribed, "My righteousness in the sight
of God Is as filthy rags"
Religious texts were nailed over the
headboard of his bed, over the kitchen
stove and over each door.
1t was rumored among the country
folk that his wife had been untrue te
him. The hermit was short of stature
wrinkled and bent and wore a full
shaggy beard, which had not beer
trimmed in years.
Johnson served through the war IL
the First Connecticut heavy artillery
Every three months he walked to the
postoffice and drew his pension. II was
the only mail he ever inquired for OF
ever received, and those were the only
trips he ever made away from home.

diseased portion of the ear. There isonly one
way to cure deafness and that is by constitu-
famed condition OF the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing and when it is entirely closed. Deafness Is
the result and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inf1amed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.

Is it compliment or threat to this
country that England is constantly
strengthening her naval forces in Ameri-
American and West Indian stations
whose term Of service expires is replaced
by more formidable one, and great
sums are being expended in improving
docks and harbor defenses. Why this dis
play of strength? Surely it is not for the
protection of Canada; the most hopeless
pessimist in the Dominion cannot fear
an attack from the United States. Bnt
there is scarcely more reason to fear an
attack on the United States by Great
Britain. Probably the true and simple
explanation is that the British govern

it did formerly, and having them on
hand, is sending them to foreign stations
