During a dreadful storm, when the
river Tyne had flooded the country all
around, a number of people were as
sembled watching the huge masses of
hay swept along In its rapid course.
At length a swan came in sight, strug-
Cling sometimes for land and ut others
sailing in its stately manner along
with the torrent AS it drew near a
black spot was observed on its snowy
plumage, which the spectators were
astonished to find was a living rat, and
1t is probable 1t had been borne from
its dwelling in some hay rick and, see
ing the swan. had FASTENED 10 1t for a
refuge. On the bird arriving on land
the rat leaped off its back and scam
pered away, but a man having no re-
spect for the sagacity which the rat
had displayed, killed 1t with a blow of
his staff.

Mrs. Adreon Seeks a Divorce.

Mrs. Howard N. Adreon has filed a
petition in chancery for divorce from
her husband on the grounds of deser-
ton, and also seeks the custody of their
only child, Lloyd M. Adreon, two years
old.
The couple were married in Morris
town on May 26, 1893, the petitioner be-
ing Miss Lillian M. Grove before her
marriage. Her husband was once ply
sical instructor of the Y. M. Q. A.
The bill sets forth that Immediately
after the wedding the couple removed to
Baltimore, Md, where they lived to-
gether two months, during which time
the husband contributed but little to his
wife's support. According to the petit
tion Mrs. Adreon was compelled to re-
turn to the home of her parents in Atno
avenue, where she remained four
months. Then, upon his promise to bet
ter provide for her, Mrs. Adreon returned
to him. A few months later her hus-
band again deserted her. During the
last two years the petitioner has it that
the defendant 'has wilfully, criminally
and obstinately deserted her, and during
all that time has wholly neglected to
make any provision for her support.
The couples child was born on March 2,
1899, and Adreon, according to his wife,
has contributed but $12 to the boys sup
port in all that time.

Mining In New Jersey.

The revival of the iron industry in
New Jersey presents some interesting
facts. The Investigations of the State
Geological department show that the
total amount of iron produced for the
year 1900 was 407, ,596 tons, an increase
of 100000 tons over the year 1880.
Looking backward, it is noticed that in
1870, five years after the beginning of
iron mining in New Jersey, the product
of the state was 10000 .ons. The turn
ing point in the iron industry was
reached in 1855. when it is estimated
that 100000 tons were mined.
After 1855 there was steady increase
until 1878. when 6O5,OOO tons were
mined, and the iron mines of New Jer-
sey became the nucleus of speedily
acquired wealth. The product fiuctua
ted until 1880, when it ran up to 745, 900
tons. In 1882 the greatest record was
made, when 932, ,762 tons were mined.

Essex Women Golfers Win.

A sort of miracle happened Tuesday
when the Morris county team met de-
feat on their own links, the Essex
county club gaining the victory. 1t was
the opening team match in the Women's
Metropolitan Association. The Morris
county champion, Miss Marie S. Bryce,
met Miss Hecker, present holder of the
individual championship of the League,
and while they each did the course in
103 strokes the latter was one up at the
finish.
The Nassau system of scoring was
used, and will continue to be the official
method throughout the series. This pro-
vides that the player who is sup" at the
first nine holes counts one point; if up
at the eighteenth two points, and if ''up'
on the match three points. Another
radical change from last season has been
the reduction of each team to four play
ers and the division of the entire twelve
teams into two classes, with separate
cup for the winning team in each. The
Morris county contest was in the Glass
A. series. The summary:
