GRABS ApLBNTY IN NEWARK BAY


Newark Bay is simply alive with crabs,
fat, tender, juicy, red clawed, blue backed
crabs. Never for many years has there
been such a swarm in the bay and the
G~reenville fishermen are having plenty of
sport. Last night a party went out from
Uldrich's place and the result was las
crabs. Grabbing parties are now the rage.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a con-
stitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitution
al cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to q
teaspoonful. IT acts directly on the blood

The sash is such an important item in
the summer gown that the use of two or
ever three materials in its construction is
not surprising. A pretty batiste showing
blue figures on a white ground is oddly
arranged in this respect. A deep iounce
of the material, headed and edged by a
putting and narrow frill of plain blue
mousseline de sole, trims the skirt. The
choker is a scarf of blue, with a large
bow behind. and frills of the mousseline
de sole ornament the top of the sleeves
and finish them at the wrist. From UNI
der the knot on the back of the choker
come two narrow bretenes of mousseline
de sole. and these become, or are con-
tinued as long, straight, unidentified
sash ends. The draped waistband is of
blue silk, tying behind over the sash ends
in a smart slanting how.

Simplicity and p~lainness of outline dis
tinguish the most desirable dining room
furniture these days. The dining room
must be a digniied room, as it were. In
the parlor you may be as ornate and
fussy as you like. and a bed room to be
altogether charming must be light. airy,
flesh and gay in its effects, but in your
dining room rave a certain severity in
its tone.
The girl in white duck skirt and white
Hussar jacket is a pleasant sigh these
warm days, especially If her little Hussar
opens over a turquoise blu silk blouse,
set down the front with mites of white
enameled studs. One feels grateful for
the relief to ones eye to rest upon this
vision of dainty spotlessness IN a dusty
town.

mittcc on public buildings and grounds.
But the speaker has appointed no such
committee, and the bills cannot be con
sidered by the house until they have
been favorabIy reported by that com.
mittee.
Congressman deceive their constitu.
ents very often, In Il plausible manner,
For example, an old soldier in a coun.
try town applies for II pension, through
congressional enactment. The con
| gresham introduces the bill. The gov
rrnment printing Office on the follow.
ing day prints 100 copies of the bill, in
large typo. The congressman sends
four or five copies of the printed bill to
his constituent The printing costs him
nothing. IL Ia an official document,
and is carried through the mails free
of charge. The congressman thus gives
his constituent TO understand that he
is in a fair way to get a pension. Ihe
constituent receives the printed bills,
and shows the copies to his friends,
They do not know how hard it Is to
get n bill through congress-; and they
fondly imagine that their congress
man is "A great man, who has done u
great thing. As Il matter of fact, the
introduction Of a bill in congress is as
easy as dropping n letter in the post
rilice. The congressman simply drops
the bill in what Is called "the bill box"
and the clerks and the government
printing office do the rest,
Then there Is another thing which
the people do not understand. They
get up big petitions TO congress pray
ing that certain legislation be enacted,
The congressman receive these petit
tons, but they pay no heed to them.
Of curse they each write . letter to
the man whose name heads the petition
and say to him: II have received the
petition and to-day presented it TO the
house Of representatives,. 1t wac re-
fcrrcd to the proper committee and
viii receive consideration Ia due time"
When you send petitions 10 congress
and receive such letters yoa may as
well understand that you have been
wasting time. There Is q petition
box" in the house of'representatiyes.
Your congressman simply drops your
petition in that box and it is taken in
charge by the clerks, who fold it, send
it 10 n committee, where it is filed
away and forgotten. There Is moth.
ing in it. Congressman do not pay any
attention to petitions.
In the senate there Is no "blll box
and there is no petition box In that
body each senator arises in his place
and formally introduces Il bill or a pc
tition and his remarks are printed
daily in the Congressional Record. The
Congressional Record is sent 10 tens OF
thousands Of constituents, 80 that they
may read that their senator's have pre-
scented their bills and petitions. But
they 90 their way TO the graveyard Of
pigcon-holes, just the same as they do
in the house Of representatives.
This Is the way legislation is carried
in the two houses Of congress of this |

a curious story reaches US from Cey-
lon in connection with the king Of ST.
ANS recent visit. lIis majesty, with all
the devotion Of n pious buddhist, ex-
pressed "a desire to see the toOth-rclic
in the Delada Malighwa temple, in
Kandn. A royal reception was ac-
corded him. The king said his pray
srs, and the priests went into ecstacics
over his presents OF robes and jewels.
Everything went we'll until his majesty
asked 10 be allowed to handle the
precious relic. This the high priest po-
litely but firmly declined. Royalty
might look, but royalty mightn't touch.
Royalty thercupon returned TO his cnr-
riage in a huff, and his presents with
him, TO the no little confusion Of the
over-zealous Unnanse. Considering
that the sacred tooth was taken TO Cey-
lon in n lady's hair, surely a king might
touch it.-Westminster Gazctte.

Research into the so-called It%ocntgen
rays have experienced a new phase.
DR.. ltocutren describes his famous dis
coyery under the name of X-the un-

Bose, NJ. A., of Cambridge, and profess
sor Of physical science in the presi-
dency college of Calcutta. now ascribes
the whole phenomena OF the rays to
electricity. The learned Calcutta pro-
~fcssor, in discussing his work and its
results, says:
1--WE hear little and see still less. Our
range of perception of sound extends
through only IL o~ctavcs. There are
many notes which we cannot hear. Our
range Of vision is still more limited. A
single octave of ethereal notes is all
that In visible to us, The lights we see
are few, but the invisible lights are
many"
Prof. Bose "by invisible lights means
electric waves III the ether; and these
lights, he claims, raj pierce doors,
brick walls, granite rocks, earthen
mounds, etc" When the vibration of u
string reaches the rate of $4,000 beats in
a second the note produced is the limit

between 100000, 600, 200 and 100000
100000 vibrations n second, produce
light; and il Is said that the Roentgen
rays vibrate at even a higher rate than
this.
To detect these invisible rays Prof.
Bose has invented an electric eye, ron

the rays fall, and Ilich, by an electric
