About the only other event of interest
in the senate was the presentation by SEN
ator Voorhees, of the constitutional amend
ments five in number, which passed the
last legislature and have to pass the pres
emit session also before being submitted to
the people. The amendments are as fol-
lows:
Amendment No. provides for q reor-
ganization of the state Judiciary. The
court of pardons is to consist of only three
members the governor, chief Justice and
attorney general-and the supreme court is
to consist of 10 judges and shall possess all
the jurisdiction now vested in the court Of
errors, the supreme court, the court Of
chancery and the prerogatiye court The
new supreme court, to meet these separate
functions, will be divided into three equal
parts first, the law division; second, the
chancery division, and, third, the appellate
division This court will be made up Of
all the present supreme court justices, to
gether with the chancellor and Ave vice
chancellors. The governor shall make APP
pointments to the appellate division, but
no judge shall sit longer than seven years
consecutiyely nor be eligible to reassign-
ment thereto until after serving for at least
three years in the law or the chaneery di
vision. Judges of the law division shall
hold circuits throughout the various coun
ties Of the state the same as at present held
BY the supreme court Justices. There is no
change in the terms or salaries from the
present system. It is known that consid-
erable difference Of opinion prevails as to
the value of the proposed changes, especial
y among the lawyers. These gentlemen
all admit that the Judiciary neels reorgan
izatiQns but each one has his OWN idea Of

Consul General De Kay writes a pa

De Kay says: School out" at the vii

The substantial brick building overlooks
the ever murmuring highway, and the
boys and girls, instead of stringing up
a dusty road, tumble into punts and
pole away for dear life--the boys much
like other boys, but the girls reduced
facsimiles of their mothers and elder
sisters, clad in bright but short raiment
and visible afar off through their strange
mob caps with wings. AS one moves
down stream from Burg by Lcipe to
Lubbenau, these wings grow smaller

longer and more resemble the ordinary.

TWO CLASSES OF READERS.
Those Who Like Dickens and Those Who
Adore Thackeray.


Those Who Like Dickens and Those Who
Adore Thackeray.
about Is years ago readers used to
be divided roughly into two classes
those who liked Dickens and those who
'adored Thackeray, !" writes the critic
Droch in The Ladies Home Journal
Each class used to view the other with
more or less contempt. OF the two the
Thackeray people felt themselves consid-
erably superior to the Dickens people
There were not SO many of them, for
one thing, and that i'll itself gave them
feeling of exclusiveness Something
like the attitude assumed by George
Meredith's admirers of the present day.
But Thackeray's complete works for
So. SO rapidly abolished the aristocracy.
Artificial barriers do not long count for
much with great writer.
You no doubt very soon found out
that in certain moods there was nothing
more satisfying to you than 'Pendennis,
and at another time the best novel that
you ever read was David Copperfeld.
I have no doubt that in the long run

That is matter Of temperament and
your surroundings. The one you like
best fits best into your life as you are

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

Sam" Jones, the Georgia evan
gelist, gets $4,000 and his expenses for
his months revival work in Boston, ac-
rording to the Transcript.
1T is said of Sidney Eanier that mu-
sic was to him a necessity. He literally
lived in world of music. He was al
ways hearing melodies, and when he
improvised had only to play them.
REV. DR.. William Prall, rector of st.
Johns Episcopal church, Detroit, was
married the other day to Miss Helen
Lothrop, of Detroit. DR.. Pran was
rising politician of New Jersey few
years ago. He entered the Episcopal
ministry, however, and for a time was
rector of an Episcopal church in one of
the Oranges.
1t is an interesting fact, brought
gut by the recent anniversary of the
Scotch church, that DIR. vermilye. so
long senior pastor of the collegiate
church, was at the age of IA a student
at Yale college, by the aid of funds pro-
vided by the Scotch church. DR.. Mason,
pastor of the Scotch church, taught him
Latin and Greek.
The Boston Transcript says: REV.
DR.. Isaac Lansing has decided to re-
sign the pastorate of Park Street
church, but the society must pay him
81, 500 for so doing, in addition to $3,666
which he claims as his salary to March
81. DIR. Lansing does not look upon the
amount of money as bonus, for he
declares that the action of the church
committee has placed him in an unfavor-
able light before other societies, which
is likely to affect his future prospects
seriously"
The Protestant Episcopal church,
or at least a certain section of it, is con-
sidering the advisability of employing
evangelists or LAY readers more ex-
tensively. Even the conservative Church
Standard has been arguing for their
employment, suggesting that there is a
field where the lay evangelist is spe-
cially needed and where the ordained
minister cannot take his place. Com
mon sense" it says, rebels against the
notion, which is without warrant of
Holy Scriptures, that the work of evan
gelization by preaching the Gospel with
the living voice is peculiar prerogatiye
of any order in the church, however
sacred"

Tho Master Stroke of n Matrimonial
Match Maker.
In an Illinois town a Miss Blizzard
lately demonstrated practically beyond
question the truth of the old saying so
strenuously insisted upon by many
women: "The quickest way to reach
mans heart is through his stomach"
Miss Blizzard kept select boarding
house, and among her patrons were Mr..
William D. Mcbride and Miss Addie
May McDowdell. In view of subsequent
developments, the assumption is war
ranted that Miss Blizzard, liking those
two young people very much indeed,
reached the Inevitable feminine con-
clusion that the best thing such nice
couple could do was to fall in love with
zach other as promptly as possible, get
married and live happily ever afterward.
twas genial and friendly conclusion
to reach, and it should not be unsafe to
say that, having arrived at it, Miss Biz
card lost no time in herself assuming
the role of the god in the machine and
so guiding events as to inevitably bring
about the final blissful denoument upon
which her kindly heart was set. 1t is
easy to understand that, having Mr.. Nc
Bride and Miss McDowdell under the
same roof with her, Miss Blizzard was
mistress of the situation to an unusual
degree, and it is to be presumed that she
worked those two young people one
against the other in every way likely to
make each see the others good points in
the very strongest light possible.
But she did more. With the pulse of
the situation under her touch always, it
would seem that Miss Blizzard knew to
nicely just when the crucial moment
was reached, and at that crucial mo-
ment, knowing that Mr.. McBride's sex
made it imperative that he should take
the initiative in bringing matters to
climax, the crafty Miss Blizzard played
her strongest card. She prepared little
supper aimed at the very citadel of Mr..
McBride's affections, and at that supper
she saw to it that Mr.. Mcbride was
helped to the choicest of each and every
dish. The happy man was Toasted like
a lord, with pretty Miss McDowdell fac
ing him. as he Toasted.
Miss Blizzard rose from the table a
winner. During the very progress of the
momentous repast, Mr.. McBride's heart
melted within his bosom, and, gazing
fondly upon Miss McDowdell, he then
and there challenged her to become Mrs.
Mcbride. The challenge was accepted,
a license procured, a minister was sum-
moned, friends were hidden to the joy
Gus scene and the knot was tied.
Miss Blizzard deserves a roseate i'm
mortality. Her healthy confidence in
the irresistible nature of the conjunc-
ton of good things to eat with pretty
girl to look at warrants the conspicuous
perpetuation of her memory.-St. Louis
Republic,

He was on his way downtown and had
seat near the middle of the car. Next
to him was a space about large enough

Then deathly pallor' oyerspread his

permitted her gaze to wander to the
signs above the windows on the oppo-
site side OF, the car, and. while faint
suspicion of color might have been seen
to creep into her cheeks, she appeared
to be deeply interested in the virtues
of somebody's beef extract and the won
derful nutritive powers of Nippleton's
baby food. At last his lips parted, a
panied expression swept across his fea-
lures and he said: beg your pardon
will you let me get my coat from under
you?' She partially arose, and as he
gathered the skirts of his garment unto
him he knew that his worst fear had
been realized. She had sat on his lunch
and squashed it.-Cleveland Leader.

ANTARCTIC lcEeERGs.


Some of Them Are Fully Two Miles
Square.
The snowfall of each year adds new
stratum to this ice cap, which is as dis
tinguishable to the eye as is the annual
accretion of forest tree. says the
Ladies' Home Journal. Thus in
centuries have accumulated on Ant
arctica these SHOWS, which, by processes
of pressure, thawing and regulation.
have formed an ice cap that in places
exceeds 5000 feet in thickness. Through
the action of various forces-that Of
contraction and expansion by changing
temperature being, perhaps, the most
potent this ice cap creeps steadily sea-
ward and projects into the ocean a per-
pendicular front from 1000 to 1000 feet
in height. The temperature of the sea
water being about 20 degrees, the fresh
water ice remains unwasted, and the
ice-barrier plows the ocean bed until
through floating in deep water dis
ruption occurs, and the tabular berg is
formed. These bergs are of size that
long taxed the belief of men, but it is
now well established that bergs two
miles square and 1000 feet in thickness
are not rare; others are as large as 80
miles in length and some nearly 5000
feet in thickness. their perpendicular,
sunwasted sides rising from 200 to 400
feet above the sea.

Repardtnp PouItrv Diseases.

Most of the diseases that affiict poul-
try are the effects of unsanitary sur
roundings and due entirely to the care
lessness or indifference of keepers.
Naturally poultry is not sickly, and if
given proper care will keep in good
health without being dosed with any
drugs or nostrums of any kind. The
writer has had good many years of
experience in poultry keeping, and in
all that time has never found it neces-
sary to give any great amount of medi-
cine to his focks. Pure feed. pure wa
ter, comfortable quarters and cleanli-
ness in all the surroundings of the flock
will insure its health and thrift The
poultry keeper who has bad luck" with
his flock and finds it dwindling away
from the effect of disease is nine times
out of ten receiving the just penalty
for some of his sins of omission.-Far

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Eggs at a cent apiece will pay.
Usually fat fowls are uncertain breed
ers.
Dark feathers usually cover dark
skin.
With early broiIers sex cuts no
figure.
Lazy hens lay on fat, but busy hens
lay eggs.
If breeding for profit breed to please
the market.
Dry-picked poultry generally brings
the best price.
Coal oil applied to the roosts will kill
all kinds of parasites.
Hens often fail to lay in winter be-
cause they are too fat.
Hens that are laying regularly should
have a little extra food.
Early Matched chickens should not
get chilled this month, or brood dis
eases will be the result.
Milk, fresh or sour, buttermilk,
skinned milk, mixed with meal makes
a good feed for poultry.
The best and most natural floor for
the poultry house is dry earth, kept
clean and dry.-St. Louis Register.
