hours Miss Long was taken to her home
and lies in dazed condition. Mr.. Bergen
was taken to Somerville, where he is in
badly bruised condition.
Another practical joke tiend got loose
in Union Hill Wednesday and almost
caused the death of Henry Zinukann,
butcher. The alleged joker unscrewed
the nut on one of the wheels of Zinn-
kann's wagon, and when the butcher was
on his rounds the wheel came off. Zinn-
kann was thrown out of the wagon on to
the street and was badly shaken.up. The
horse took fright and bolted, wrecking the
wagon before Patrolman Hawkins stopped
the runaway. The nut at first was sup
posed to have fallen off, but it was found
in the bottom of the wagon.
An epidemic of influenza has claimed
several horses during the past week at
Merchantville. The malady seems to be
spreading rapidly and local horsemen are
thoroughly alarmed At the stables OF
the West Jersey Country club number
of blooded trotting horses are quartered
Although none have been attacked the
horses will be moved to less dangerous
locality. The epidemic began about a
week ago Thomas Wright lost horse,
as did j. S. Wright, Charles Wolf and
Perry Ewing. Those who have horses
seriously i'll are Ellis Parker, B. NJ Beide-
man, S. p Coles and William Erickson.
A number of other animals are laid up.
William, the fifteen-year old son of
Frank s. Weeks, of Colts Neck, died at
the Long Branch hospital Saturday morn
irg from the effects of a terrible accident.
The boy was trimming up the shrubbery
along the road near his home, and cut off
a sassafras bush, but left stump nearly a
foot in height standing. The stump was
cut off sharp on one side, and William fell
directly upon it. The stump ran over
nine inches into his abdomen, infiicting a
gaping wound. Suffering untold agony
the young man made his way to his home.
A doctor was called and administered
drugs to relieve his suffering, and he was
at once taken to the hospital. There he
fingered several hours, although it was
evident from the first that the wound was
mortal

A Guest PuAzIer.

In one of the old castles of northern
England visitors are shown two rooms
which are connected with each other by
a singular mechanism Each room is ad-
Joined by an alcove, used as a sleeping
room apartment, and the floors of the ad-
joining aicoves turn on pivot in the CEN
ter of the partition wall.
This ingenious device was the invention
of one of the ancestors of the present pro-
prietor, who was somewhat OF wag,
and found great pleasure In frightening
and mystifying his guests
When one had gone to bed In the green
room and the other in the blue, the floors
were turned on their pivots, and on
awakening the visitor found himself in
strange quarters. with clothes that were
not his own.

The collection OF Assyrfan and Baby
lohian records at the British museum has
revealed more of the domestic life Of peo-
pie who lived 5000 years ago than is
known In the case Of our own country
men 1000 years ago. Such was the opin-
ion expressed by Mr.. W. St. Chad Bos-
cawen when he explained these relics to
an interested audience. The clay bricks
and cylinders beneath the glass cases
were covered with characters tesufying
to a completely organized system Of JUS
tice, marriage, divorce and commerce.
The bookkeeping Of 5000 years ago
was shown to be wonderfully accurate. A
curious form Of record is that preserved
In the form of baked clay tablets, which
were inclosed In clay envelopes, also in
scribed with the terms of the transac-
ton, SO that a double record provided
against the possibilities Of damage. The

Jeremiah is supposed to refer to this sys-

brick the name of the king, Of the build

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
"Something New Under

All Doctors have tried to cure CA
TARRH by the use Of powders, acid gases,
inhalers and drugs in paste form. Their
powders dry up the mucous membranes

The powerful acids used in the inhalers
have entirely eaten away the same mem
branes that their makers have aimed to
cure, while pastes and ointments cannot
reach the disease. An old and experienced
practitioner who has for many years made
close study and speciality of the treat
ment of CATARRH, has at last perfected
Treatment which when faithfully used,
not only relieves at once, but permanently
cures CATARRH, by removing the cause,
stopping the discharges, and curing all
inflammation. 1t is the only remedy
known to science that actually reached the
afflicted parts. This wonderful remedy Is
known as "SNUFFLES the GUARAN-

STALE BREAD AND NEW.
Indigestion Should Not Wait Upon
One More Than the Other.

INDIGESTION SnOul0 MOI W Aht OKOA.
One More Than the Other.
New bread is well known to be less d.
gestible than stale bread, although 1t need
not be SO. There can be no question,
however, of the vastly superior favor OF
the former, and hence the preference OF
many people for hot rolls for breakfast.
So far the palate would appear not to be
q safe guide to digestion. Hot rolls, how
ever. when masticated properly should
not offer any difficulty to the digestive
organs. A slice of stale bread on being
broken with the teeth resolves into more
or less hard, gritty particles. which, unless
they were softened by the saliva, would
be almost impossible to swallow. Ihe
particles would irritate the throat and
the gullet. The fact is, therefore, that
man is compelled thoroughly to masticate
and to impregnate stale bread with saliva
before he swallows it. This act, of course,
partially digests the bread and thus makes
1t In fit state for digestion and absorb
ton farther on in the alimentary tract.
This is why stale bread appears to be
more digestible than new bread.
New bread, on the contrary, Is soft,
doughty or plastic, and there appears TO
be no necessity to soften 1t with saliva;
hence it escapes the preliminary digestive
action of the ptyalin of the saliva. New
bread, in other words, is in reality bolt
ed" and "bolting" accounts for many OF
the ills arising from dyspepsia. Accord
inRly hot rolls should be enjoyed for
breakfast without fear of dyspepsia SO
long as the bread is good and so long as
pains are taken to masticate 1t thorough
ly.
When a dog is given piece OF meat,
II will be noticed that he "bolts" 1t. There
is not much reason why 1t should stay IN
the mouth, for the mouth, beyond reduc-
ing 1t by the aid of the teeth to conven-
lent mass, cannot deal with its digestion.
But If the dog be given piece OF bread
supposing he eats it at all, he will Keep
It In his mouth for some time and VIII
almost labor over it before swallowing II.
The dog thus teaches a very important
physiological lesson.
1t Is a curious fact that stale bread Is
not more dry than new bread, for on
submitting stale bread for short time
to a high temperature 1t regains its con-
dition Of newness and becomes soft or
plastic, and this In spite of the fact that
some moisture Is Of necessity driven on
In the operation 1t is probable that In
new bread there Is free water present,
while In stale bread the water Is still
there, but In a condition of true chem
ical combination, and 1t is this combine
ton which compels us thoroughly to
moisten and to masticate stale bread be-
fore we consign 1t to the gastric centers.

when women Become Strong.

There are startling examples Of the de-
velopment OF the capacity In women for
doing mems work. When families that
have been strong and prospered get start
ed down hill and the men die of or go to
seed or lose heart or health, It is not an
uncommon thing to see the women develop
under stress of circumstances a virile
vigor that meets the storm and weathers
II.
Very able women are developed by de-
feets ip man. and, OF course. when the
wheel has once fallen to them and their
wills have been trained to steering they
will not readily give up place that they
have fairly won. Nor should they. The
mischief, what there Is Of II, has been
done; let the consequences abide. Tho
chief mischief Is that, though woman
may come out strong In doing q mans
work, the man whose work is done for
him, IL there Is one, Is apt to come out
wsak.-McClure Magazine.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1901.

EXTRAORDINARY efforts seem to be put
ting forth in some portions of South Jer-
sey to prevent the nomination of Franklin
Murphy for Governor. We fear there is
more desire to advance personal interests
in this movement than there is to aid the
party, as the project of the opposers if
carried to completion would place them in
position to be dictators in many matters.
From many parts of the state have come
requests for the nomination of Senator
Stokes, but that young gentleman has
settled these appeals by announcing his
preference for Franklin Murphy. In ex-
pressing the wish that Mr.. Murphy be
nominated Senator Stokes has voiced the
sentiment of the people, and with few ex-
ceptions, that of the politicians Franklin
Murphy is the logical candidate whose
good qualities have been so often men
toned that it is needless to repeat them
here. What little objection there is to
his candidacy in his own party comes
from few who desire to dominate In all
matters. This. coupled with the fact that
the Democrats are trembling at the prob
ability of Mr. Murphy being the Repub-
lican standard bearer, should settle the
matter, and give the gentleman the nom
nation without opposition.

AFTER doing good work in Monmouth
county by closing the gambling dens of
that place, Judge Fort now gives a con-.
struction of the voorhees, law" which
has been hailed with delight by the liquor
dealers of Atlantic City. Judge Fort
holds that to become amenable to the law
the business complained of must be con-
tinuously and strictly illegal, as for in
stance. gambling, which is never legal
Liquor selling, being licensed by law, is
not touched by the statute. Judge Fort
may be right, but there are few who will
agree with him, while many twill regret
that he has given such an opinion. 1t
seems LATTER the very strong stand taken
by the Judge in the first place, like clear
case of somersault in the present instance
There is no doubt liquor selling is legal
business. That is, it has legal sanction.
but in great number of cases the rule
appears to be to disregard rather than to
honor the statute. If there is person
living who will agree that's the sale
OF liquor on Sunday is not violation of
law, we would like to meet that person.
1t is bad enough to have the stuff sold in
secret, but when it is openly and fragrant
ly offered without fear of punishment
there is certainly an offence committed.
Such violation is on par with any other
crime Taking the entire facts into con-
sideration the construction of the law by
Judge Hendrickson seems more logical
and sensible than the other.

THOSE who use the highways for driv-
ing, either for business or pleasure, es-
pecially the latter, feel the necessity for
legislation that will protect them and
give them feeling of security that they
will return In safety when they start for a
short drive. Bicycle riders and automo-
bile drivers seem to have gained the idea
they are entitled to all consideration,
Others must stand aside About two
weeks since gentleman was driving
from Pemberton when he met party of
bicycle riders. They were stretched
across the road and were racing. As they
neared the driver the latter turned to give
them fair share of the road, In fact left
two-thirds of the stone road at their dis
posal, but they never attempted to turn,
but on the contrary in an impudent man
ner told the driver to get out of the way.
Notwithstanding it was past sunset not
bicycle had lamp lighted, but that is the
rule now; to see bicycle lamp lighted is
great rarity. The question of automo.
biles is more serious. They are not yet in
such constant use in this section that
horses pass them unnoticed. There is
great need for some sort of regulation re-
garding the manner in which they should
be run, especially in the matter of speed
These vehicles go at a great rate, and
they are generally given their limit. One
gentleman, commenting upon an instance
in which horse was scared by his auto
mobile, says he passed the animal at
rate of eight miles an hour. This would
be good travelling for horse. but to have
an ungainlY vehicle, making as much
noise as threshing machine, going past
at that rate, is not very assuring. espec-
tally If the driver is a woman, and there
are many of that sex who have had plea
sure with their teams, but who fear to go
out now that the automobiles have begun
to use the roads. We do not for a mo-
ment pretend to say that the owners of
these modern methods of travelling have
no rights on the road, but we do assert
they are not entitled to run noisy ma
chimes at railroad speed at the risk of scar
ing horses and endangering life and limb
and thereby becoming sole monarchs of
the HIGHWAYS.
