PICKED THE TEN SPOT.

~ saw man do trick with cards
once" said Godfrey Ashton of Allan
ia, (which, although he assured me had
no second sight or mind reading con-
nected with it, has always rested in an
unexplained condition in my mind.
"There were four of us at supper,
and the man in question sent for a
pack of cards, and, handing them to
the man next to HIM, told him to Sc
lect card in his mind; not to take it
from the pack, but to tell the other
two men what card it was. He was
then to shuttle the pack and pass it to
thoroughly shuttle it. The last man
was then to place it on the floor face
down.
SIN the meantime large napkin
had been tightly tied over the magi-
clans eyes and his dress coat hung
over his face with the tails tied under
bis chin, so that his head, to all intents
and purposes, was in a bag. He, by
his direction, was led to the pack of
cards and his hand placed upon it. He
then proceeded to scatter the cards
about until they covered a rough cir
Gle of three or four feet in diameter.
He called for knife, and, bringing it
sharply down, drove it through and af-
fixed one of the scattered cards. Re
moving his hcad-gear, he asked what
card my friend had chosen. The an
swer being the ten of diamonds, he
turned the knife towards US, and then
there, sure enough, was the ten of dia-
monds transfxed upon the point.
"He swore it was trick, but for the
life of me | cannot see how it was done.
None of us was in collusion with him.
am sure the cards were not fake
pack, and I am equally certain that he
was so blindfolded that it was wholly
impossible for him t. see. Yet he ac-
complished it exactly as l tell you.

READING ALOUD.

Reading aloud to the children and in
the family crcle-how fast it is becom-
ing one of the lost arts! What multi
tudes of children of former days were
entertained and instructed by this
practice, and how few there are who
are so entertained and instructed now
adays. Children now, after being
taught to read, join that great army
which takes in the printed word,
swiftly and silently. Most parents
doubtless are too busy to spare time
to educate their sons and daughters by
reading to them, and as the children
grow older they find their hours too
crowded to devote any of them simply
to listening. "What is the use !" they
would say, if asked. TASTES differ,
and we can read what we want in
fraction of the time that would be con-
sumed if we had to sit still and hear
it,"
This is all true enough, but is there
not something lost in having the Gus
tom of reading aloud lapse so entirely
As a sign OF the times, the change is
another proof of the rush and hurry OF
life, and, in the family,i it is more or
less to be considered an evidence OF the
tendency to independence" on the
part of the younger members. Com
mon interest in a good book, read
aloud by father or mother, is FAC
tor in the home that is important
enough to have some attention paid to
it. The opposite Of 'skimming'
book, it develops certain mental facul-
ties that it is well to have developed
and as an exercise in elocution for the
reader it has distinct advantage.
Books so read are remembered, and
their influence on character far exceeds
that of many volume whose pages
are turned in a desperate effort to reach
the last. Reading aloud is salutary
check on the habits of reading too
much and reading to fast.
1t would certainly be worth while to
take up the practice in families, where
the conditions favor it, as an expert
ment The winter evenings are long,
and as one looks back on them he can
find at least a few hours that could
have been devoted to realing or to
listening. Reading aloud is quiet
enjoyment, to be sure, but it is an en-
iOyment.

TO BE PREPARED

For war is the surest way for this ma
tion to maintain peace. That is the
opinion of the wisest statesmen. 1t is
equally true that to be prepared for
spring is the best way to avoid the pc
culiar dangers of the season. This
lesson multitudes are learning, and at
this time, when the blood is sure to be
loaded with impurities and to be weak
and sluggish, the millions begin to
take Hoods Sarsaparilla, which puri-
ties, enrichcs and vitaliz"s the blood,
expels all disease germs, creates a
good appetite, gives strength and en-
ergy and puts the whole system in a
healthy condition, preventing pneu-
monia, fevers, and other dangerous
diseases which are liable to attack
weakened system.

ODE ON SOLITUDE.
Happy the man whose wish and care
A few paternal acres bound,
Content to breathe his native air.
In his own gIound.
Whose herds with m lk whose fields with bread,
Whose focks supply him with attire.
Whose trees in summer yield him shade,
In winter fire.
Blest, who can unconcernedly fni
Hours days, and years glide soft away.
In health of body, peace of mind,
Quiet by day,
Sound slee by night; study by ease,
Together mixed; sweet re creation;
And innocence which most does please,
With meditation.
Thus let me live, unseen. unknown.
Thus unlamented let me die,
Steal from the word and not Il stone
Tell where lie.

WEEHAWKEN LOOPS LIGHT.
Electrical Company Brings Suit for
Pay for Furnishing the Power.


The question of whether the Board of
Freeholders or the Boulevard Commits
sioners should pay the cost of lighting
the Weehawken branch Of the Boulevard
from December, 1898 to May, 1899, was
argued before Justice Collins in the Su-
preme Court this morning.
The matter was brought up by the suit
of the Hudson Electric Light Company
against thee ounty governing board to re-
cover $7,4SS.S5 for lighting the road from
the time the contract was awarded to the
company on March 2S, 1898, until the
Boulevard Commissioners assumed charge
of the work on May Is, 1899
Counselor Abel I. Smith. representing
the plaintiff, contended that the Free
holders were responsible as the work had
been done under contract with that board
and thee orrectness of the charges was
not disputed.
County Attorney Alex. C. Young, argued
that on December /, 1898, the Boulevard
Commissioners had assumed charge of the
main road and connecting loop and all
costs in connection with the same after
that date was properly chargeable to that
body. These amounted to $616050.
Justice Collins decided that as the con-
tract was continuous and it was admitted
that the work had been properly per-
formed the Board of Freeholders was re-
sponsibles for payment. Before granting
Judgment, however he insisted that the
counsel for the plaintiff should amend his
declaration so that if a mandamus was
necessary the claim could be paid out of
the proper appropriation instead of the
general fund for this year.

POOR Mr.. FAGANl
Indecent Campaign Talk Brings
an Expected Result to
Him.

Mr.. Mark NJ Fagan, Republican candi-
date for Senator, is exceedingly wrothy
over a circular spread broadcast over the
county. yesterday, to the effect that he
and Candidates Cadmus and Sargent, for
Freeholder, on the same ticket, were pill
loried for having been indicted when on
the Board of Freeholders for malfeasance
in office.
"It's an outrage" the tri cried, ito
drag in this thing when Democrats too
were indicted"
Now the fact is that Mr.. Pagan during
his campaign has been appealing to voters
by dragging into the issues of the cam
paign and circulating matters in his cam
vass which all decent Americans agree
that they should have no place in a
political contest. His methods are un-
American and denounced by all right
thinking people.
As to his charge that Democrats, too,
were indicted along with himself that is
perfectly true; but what did the Demo-
cratic party do with these men accused?
Not one of them was put on the county
ticket for that very reason. It has been
suggested, if it were practicable, that the
three Republicans should at once with
draw. The result on November 6 will
however, convince Mr.. Fagan and his two
colleagues that their conduct has been
condemned by all right thinking Ameri-
cans

10 BE TRIED SEPARATELY.
Justice Collins Hears Motion in
Delmonico Case.

Lawyers Young and Arrowsmith, this
morning, applied to Justice Collins and
Judge Blair for separate trials for John
and Michael Deimonico, who were in
dicted jointly for the murder of Caesar
Russo in this city on September 8.
Lawyer Young contended that the rights
of the defendants would be imperrilled by
a joint trial. He said the wife of John
Delmonico would have to be called as a
witness and as she could not testify
against her husband, but could against
her brother her testimony might injure
the case of one of the defendants.
Prosecutor Erwin said it would be i'm
possible to try the cases as thoroughly
If tried separately, but the Court ruled
that unless the States representative had
evidence tending to show concerted action
by the defendants they were entitled to
separate trials.
Monday, November u, was then fixed
for the trial of one of the defendants
but Prosecutor Erwin declined to state
which one would be tried ON that date
Judge Blair will sit alone in the Court
of Oyer and Terminer at both trials.
