London the Worlds Art Mart.

An English art journal says that
for goodly number of years the turn
over at art sales in London may be
roughly placed at over $5,000,000.
Nothing seems to depress the prices
at art sales, not even the prolonged
war in South Africa. 1t has been more
and more apparent during the last few
years that London is the best market
in the world for the sale of objects of
art

GOOD oLDTlMEs ON The FARM.

''I'd like to be boy again, without
a woe or care, with freckles scattered
on my face and hayseeds in my hair.
I'd like to rise at o'clock and do a
hundred chores, and saw the wood and
feed the hogs and lock the stable doors.
And herd the hens and watch the bees
and take the mules to drink, and teach
turkeys how to swim so they wouldn't
sink, and milk about a hundred cows
and bring the wood to burn. And stand
out in the sun and churn and churn, and
wear my brothers cast off clothes, and
walk four miles to school, and get a
licking every day for breaking some
old rule And then get home again at
night and do the chores some more, and
milk the cows and feed the hogs and
curry mules galore, and then crawl
YEARLY up the stairs and seek my little
bed. and hear dad say, That worthless
boy-he isn't worth his bread y I'd
like to be boy again--a boy has so
much fun his life is just round ct
mirth from rise to set of sun. | guess
there is nothing pleasanter than closing
stable doors and herding hens and chas-
ing bees and doing evening chores

FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

This will be hard year for the vege-
tartan, if crop reports are to be taken at
their face value, says the Elizabeth
Journal. Any one who loves vegetables
will find them almost as dear as the
early products of the farmer, which al
ways have fancy price.
Potatoes are quoted at 1926 barrel
in Philadelphia; tomatoes that were ten
cents basket last year now bring 81.
Cabbage has advanced to an aristocratic
price, and as all meats are advanced
from three to six cents a pound, the
man who sits down to solid and salts
flying dinner of corned beef and cab
bage may find that he has been enjoy
ing most expensive meal.
The housewife will not put up so
many canned goods as usual, because
berries have been anything but low
priced. Her ingenuity will be taxed to
find a substitute for some of the more
expensive small fruits. If necessity is
the mother of invention, the wise house
keeper will not be baked by such a
small thing as lack of material. She
will have her preserves, even if she
has to invent them.
If New Jerseys peach crop is only
somewhere near the mark, she will pit
herself against the world and give much
pleasure to the lover of this luscious
fruit The state is yet to be heard from,
but there is reason to hope that this
fruit is not to be failure
The food question is vital one; and
the prospect of higher prices for eatables,
with no corresponding advance in wages,
as has been suggested by certain
writer, is food for thought. However,
when such a staple article as the potato
begins to arrive from the large produc-
ing sections of New York, Wisconsin,
Michigan and Canada. prices will go
down. There may be less of the
proverbial clearinghouse hash, but
we doubt not that there will be an even
ing up on the food question, and "the
full dinner pail'' will be just as inviting
as ever.

TRUANT SCHOOL AND REFORM
ATORY.

The need of county industrial home
was never better illustrated than in the
occurrences of the past month, when so
many juveniles of tender years have
been arrested upon complaints more or
less serious. To send all of these offend
ers to Jail means to make hardened and
experienced criminals of them, for such
is the inevitable result of contact be-
tween the susceptible youth and mature
experts in crime. 1t is useless to dwell
upon the number and character of the
offenses with which these youthful ban
dts are charged. One thing, at least
is certain. Should they enter the Jail as
amateur highwaymen, they will leave
it highly educate in the ways of prey
ing upon society. Surely. to say moth
ing of the humanitarian side of the
problem, it would be cheaper to train
such youth in industrial pursuits rather
than have them graduate from school
of vice and crime like the county Jail. =
Hoboken Observer.
The State school law provides that a
policeman shall, upon the request of the
Board of Education, be detailed as a
truant officer that he shall arrest any
child between the ages of seven and fif-
teen found away from home during
school hours and shall take it home or
to school. If the parents allow the
child to be truant they are subject to
a maximum fine of $25, or may be made
to give bonds to send their child to
school If they cannot control the
child, the latter shall be taken before a
judge or justice, who shall send such
child to Juvenile reformatory. Inas-
much as there are no juvenile reforma-
tories equipped to meet an occasion like
this, the suggestion has been made that
a portion of the Railway reformatory
be used exclusively for this purpose. A
well equipped truant school would save
many boy from street life with its at
tendant evils.

Exports of American products to Porto
Rico in the fiscal year just ended, ac-
cording to the figures of the Treasury
Bureau of Statistics, were more than
three times as great as they averaged
when Porto Rico was under the Spanish
flag, and more than so per cent. in ex-
cess of those prior to the enactment of
the Porto Rican tariff law which went
into effect May 1, 1900
The growth in exports from the Unit
ed States is especially notable in nearly
all the articles entering into that COM
merce, but especially in manufactures.
Exports of cotton cloth increased from
51a million yards to over % millions;
boots and shoes from 20 thousand pairs
to 48 thousand; books, maps and en-
cravings, from IA thousand to over 40
thousand dollars; candles, from III thou
sand to 375 thousand pounds; chemicals,
drugs and medicines, from SO thousand
to SO thousand dollars; wearing apparel,
from 80 thousand to Sc thousand dol
lars soap, from II thousand to 81 thou
sand dollars.

Commuters justly have daily cause for
complaint as to the management of the
Hoboken Ferry Co., the major portion
of whose large income is derived from
Lackawanna passengers. Boats leave
irrespective of the arrival of trains and
frequently remain in their slips from
five to ten minutes after the gates are
closed, thus causing serious inconven-
fence and sometimes serious loss to
thousands. The company pays an an
nual rental of $50, 104 50 to the city of
New York for the Barclay street ferry,
its lease expiring March /. 1905. 1t is
to be hoped that within four years
means will be provided so that all pas
sengers from New Jersey may be en-
abled to enter New York city direct,
thus avoiding delay which is vexa-
tous and annoying

There is something peculiar about
the price of coffee. 1t has not reached
above eight cents pound in the whole
sale market for series of years and is
usually much cheaper On Tuesday spot
coffee was 3.S cents pound for stan
dard and futures for each month for
the ensuing year ranged from 4.S5 cents
to 80 cents pound.
Why good coffee should sell at re-
tail for 25 to IS cents a pound is a
mystery, Roasting reduces the weight
about 20 per cent, but that should not
add more than one cent or one cent and
half to the pound, and all above that
seems to be profit.

Every Senator elected this year will
have term of four years, if the amend
ment providing for biennial sessions of
the Legislature is adopted. The politi-
cal sharps who figured out something
like order from the tangle which other
wise would follow this change, since
only about third of the Senate mem
bership of twenty-one could be elected
in any year, have allotted four-year
terms to the Senators of 1901, and FIVE
year and three year terms, respectively,
to those elected in 1902 and 1908, the
length of term to be decided by lot by
the Senators after the election which
adopts the amendment. So, the six
Senators who are elected in November
will be con the ground floor" for at
least four years, being the only ones GER

The Monmouth county freeholders
have held up the bill of the state hos

that have been brought against the man
ayers of the institution. A claim of So,
527. 10 is for the care of patients from
Monmouth county. The check will be
retained until the asylum committee
reports upon the charges. 1t is alleged
among other things that the county
patients have been improperly clothed,
and that where the law says that the
county shall pay only 50 a week for
each INDECENT patient in the asylum the
authorities of the institution have been
demanding 50. 1t is also said that the
patients have been improperly charged
to the county's account

This Buffalo Express commenting on
the visit of the West Point Cadets to
the Pan-American aptly remarks:
"Just watch the cadets awhile. You
will see them going round the grounds
accompanied by proud fathers or mo-
theirs or sisters. And, as rule, it is
plain to see that majority of these
boys have come from the ranks of the
common people, the people who make
this country what it is, who are its
strength. 1t has been charged that
West Point is breeding place of arts
tocrats. The material with which West
Point has to deal is democratic in the
extreme. If it breeds aristocrats, they
do not belong to the arlstocracy of
wealth. If the best mental and physi-
cal training, if good manners, if the in
culcation of a code of high honor, even
though the latter is at times somewhat
Inexperienced, tend to make aristo-
Gratis, then undoubtedly West Point
makes them; but they are the kind of
which we cannot have too many"

1t is now daily sight to see scores of
women along the beach at Atlantic City
quietly putting away in semi-secluded
spots not far removed from the waters
edge. The practice is INDUCED in by
young ladies who in the evening can be
seen promenading the corridors of the
select hotels, and their indifference to
passersby would indicate that the girls
consider it permissible.
Time was when such conduct would
lead to ostracism. Its prevalence on the
beach to-day is indicative of relaxity
in thelaws governing women's privileges.
