RYE BREAD AND COFFEE.

buying any Of the better cuts of meat.
Canned goods, familiar to every Amer

to him.
His staple food is rye bread, which
he buys in enormous loayes. His wife

Setting moody Right.

Among the stories treasured by the
people Of New York's east side Is one
about Dwight L. Moody, who once
conducted revival meeting at the Al
len Street Methodist church. At the
close of an unusually eloquent talk
Moody said to his audience. ''Now.
how many persons here are Christ
tians?"
Instantly there was a mighty stir,
and every man, woman and child In
the crowded house stood upright.
Moody was visibly impressed and said
In tones Of greatest satisfaction, I'm
all my thirty-fve years experience !
have never seen such a showing"
At the close of the meeting the pas
tor of the church took Moody aside
and said: Il say, Mr.. Moody, you
don't want to be too pleased over that
showing. Down here there are only
Jews and Christians, and the people
wanted you to understand there
wasn't a Jew among them" - New
York Tribune.

A WHY Afghanistan.

A man was once condemned in At
ghanistan to have his ears sliced off as
a minor punishment. He had a power
full friend, however, who was much
attached to him. This friend begged
the late ameer in duly submissive
tones to allow him to perform the op-
GRAFTON. a favor which was granted.
However, the amateur begged the
ameer to show him what portion of
each ear he wished to be removed. The
ameer accordingly touched them light
~. Whereupon the ingenious and cour-
ageous-person proceeded to quote a
passage in the Koran which said that
anything touched by the representative
of the Almighty became sacred. The
despot smiled grimly ard forgave them
both.

In 1905, Southey writes, says Harold
8. Scott In The Atlantic, "Coleridge is
at last arrived" from Malta and Italy
sslittle improved In health of body and
not at all so in health of mind. He is
grown very fat-which he attributes
to disease, and his wife believes it;
the fact is that he is always eating and
drinking, morning, noon and midnight;
hardly ever without rum and water
beside him, sugared to the utmost-and
II he is not talking he must be eating.
His mouth seems incapable Of being
at rest. If he does not sleep at night,
up he gets for cold meat and spirits
and water. If all this does not kill a
man, 1t must needs fatten him.
"As you may suppose, he is very en-
tertaining; but. whether it be that he
is really worsened or that after SO
long an absence the thing becomes
more striking, l never saw a human
countenance express such intense and
loathsome arrogance of self admira-
ton. 1t is at times quite fiendish- His
humor is now to be orthodox because
he has made out some metaphysical
argument for the Trinity. In short, l
feel more than ever admiration and
establishment at his intellect and more
than ever grief and indignation at all
that it is coupled with"

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY Is, 1902.

In A SUSPECTED murder in New York
last week, girl was supposed to be i'm
plicated. District Attorney Jerome assur-
ed her she need not have any fear of any
thing but fair treatment from his Office
1t is not strictly necessary, said he, ito
find this girl guilty, but our duty is to dis
cover who did commit the deed, and in
order to do this we are willing to place the
entire machinery of the District Attorneys
office at the disposal of the attorney for
the girl. This is quite different view
taken by many Prosecutors who think it is
their duty to use the entire machinery at
their command to convict the person men
toned in connection with crime The
old idea that person is innocent until
proven guilty is a back number and the
present Interpretation seems to be guilty
until proven innocent" This is not a char
table view to take and there are many
officers of the law who may profit by the
utterance Of Attorney Jerome.

DISTRESSING ASTHMA.
20 BE Cured This Disease Must b
Fought In Early Stages.

90 BE Cured This Disease Must BE
Fought In EARLY Stages.
In popular usage asthma is a term
employed to describe a well known
condition, yet it is significant of the
broadened knowledge of diseases in
general that, as distinct disease, the
name is applied in a more and more
restricted sense by physicians.
For example, the asthma Of which
DR.. johnson complains in his later
years, as recorded by Boswell, is so
clearly set forth by the faithful biog-
rapher that the modern physician is
even now able to determine that an
affection OF the heart was responsible
for it.
Asthma is often a family affection
and is frequently traceable to parents,
grandparents or great-grandparents
Most sufferers are of an excitable, emo
tional or nervous temperament 1t
bears rather striking analogy to cpl
lepsy In that its attacks are character
lied by suddenness and Influenced by
strong emotions, like fear or grief, and
not infreQuently occur at night, when
The sufferer may be plunged from deep
sleep into an attack. In both diseases
excitement during the day is often fol-
lowed by attacks.
Physicians believe, however, that a
high strung organization alone is not
sufficient to develop the disorder, but
that some other source of irritation
must be added-that is, some faulty
state of the system elsewhere like dis
ease of the digestive tract, harmful
factors circulating in the blood, obsta-
cles to free breathing in the nose and
others.
Whatever may be the source they
must be dealt with energetically and at
an early stage, since long standing
cases Of asthma invariably develop
changes in the lungs and heart which
are permanent. The disease can then
be dealt with only by measures aimed
at palliating and cutting short the sep
arate attacks and with no reasonable
hope of an actual, permanent cure.
For the young sufferer and for those
In the early attacks of asthma the
writer would emphasize the necessity
of a thorough search for and the re-
moval of any and every error In n.y.
gienic living in order to avoid the suf-
fering Of the chronic asthmatic and the
further diseases which it brings in its
train.-Youth's Companion.

An sorts of special pleas have been
made In applications for pensions. One
Of the most ludicrous was made in
Portland. When the applicant was
asked is he ever served In the army or
navy, he said, NO" Asked as to
what grounds he based his application
on, he said that he was in eastern Or
egon when the Indians went on the
warpath; that in making for point of
safety he and some other men were at
tackled by the Indians, one of the other
men being killed and another wounded.
he escaped on account Of the feetness
Of his horse. but the encounter caused
him such excitement that he had had
occasional fits ever since. and on ac-
count of the fits he thought he was en-
titled to a pension.-Portland Orego-

How Clouds Get Their FrinRes

Professor Tyndall used to explain to
popular audiences. with the aid of a
brilliant experiment, that the blue col
or Of the sky is owing to floating par
ticles Of invisible dust that break up
and scatter the short waves, which are
the blue waves, Of light This, as a
writer in knowledge shows, occurs
principally at a great elevation, where
the atmospheric dust is extremely fine.
while in the lower regions of the air,
where the dust is coarser, the scatter
ing affects all the rays, or colors, alike.
The brilliant fringes of clouds. seen
nearly in the direction of the sun, are
largely due to dust, which especially
accumulates in the neighborhood of
clouds and refracts the sunlight around
their edges.

About one woman in three cannot

green. Some turquoises will turn green
after being worn by any woman. Jew
elers Of the first class guarantee to re-
place turQuoises If they turn green,
and the annual cost Of the replace
ments is stupendous. One jewel house
has tried the experiment of having all
its employees go around with dozens
Of turquoises strapped next to their
skin to try to detect the green ones,
but even when they have passed this
test some Of them will be brought back
by customers. having turned hideous
green. No reason is known for the
changing Of color.

ONE HORSEPOWER.



Came to he Adopted.
When men first begin to become fa-
miliar with the methods of measuring
mechanical power, they often speculate
On where the breed Of horses is to be
found that can keep at work raising
$1,000 pounds one foot per minute, or
the equivalent, which Is more familiar
to some mechanics, Of raising $50
pounds 100 feet per minute. Since 3D.
900 pounds raised one foot per minute
10 called one horsepower 1t is natural
that people should think the engineers
who established that unit of measure
ment based it on what horses could
really do. But the horse that can do
this work does not exist.
The horsepower unit was established
by James Watt about a century ago,
and the figures were fixed In a curious
way. Watt found that the average
horse of his district could raise 1900
pounds one foot per minute. At that
time Watt was employed In the manu-
facture Of engines, and customers were
so hard to find that all kinds Of arti-
fetal inducements were necessary to
induce power users to buy steam en-
gines. As a method of encouraging
them Watt offered to sell engines reck-
oning $1,000 foot pounds to horsepow-
er. And thus he was the means Of CIV
ing false unit to one Of the most Inn
portant measurements In the world

CONSIDERABLE stir has been created over
the bill introduced by Senator Lee, of At.
lantic county. with view of giving the
residents of Atlantic City more freedom
In the government of that place. The
real object of the law is to allow the ho-
tells and beer saloons of that place to be
wide open every day in the year-Sun-
days especially. The bill is bad one,
and 1t is to be hoped the legislature will
not allow it to be favorably considered.
1t provides that punishment for violation
OF the liquor laws, SO far as they relate to
selling on Sunday and election day, shall
be removed from the county courts and
put under the jurisdiction of police mag
istrates, and In order that there may be
no misunderstanding on the point the bill
provides that ''it shall not hereafter be
lawful to prosecute by Indictment any
person or persons accused of said offenses
in such cities" 1t is plain to see the pur-
port of this provision. The violators of
the law are to be tried by persons who
will owe their election to the lawbreak-
ers. and in no case must the county courts
be allowed to have jurisdiction This
item should kill the measure If nothin 2
else does. 1t is safe to say the bill will
stand considerable watching. The liquor
men of Atlantic City have been brought
up with round turn, and they know it
is dangerous to continue their acts with
the idea of always escaping. In their
desperation they will secure the passage
OF any law that will give them loop
hole through which to crawl. They have
had wide open" Sundays long enough
while other sections of the state have
been compelled to respect the law. 1t is
to be hoped the members from Burlington
county will not allow themselves to be
dragged into support of this or any other
bill of a like character, which ia fragrant
strike at law and order The Republican
party went into power on its promises to
redeem our state from the pail which
hung over it by the acts of the hackers of
the race tracks. All the pledges then
made have been redeemed and we have
the confidence Of the people. To pass
any such measure as that advocated by
Senator Lee means loss of esteem now
