CLOTHES NEED A REST.

Inanimate as we'll as animal things,
says the Chicago Chronicle. require
an occasional rest This fact is well
known to railroad men, who give their
cars and locomotives periods of abso-
lutte rest. An engine worked continu-
ously wears out in half the time, act
ual running time reckoned, that a sim
liar machine will endure if given sea-
sons of rest, and therefore, after MAX
ing a run of a few hundred miles it is
put in the roundhouse for rest and re-
cuperation. 1t has been discerned that
a woman's clothes also require rest
and many of the most careful men,
bers of the sex are acting upon the
knowledge. The up-to-date woman
has taken to resting her clothes. 1t
works like a charm. Nothing induces
shabbiness in coats and gowns more
than the lines and wrinkles which
show that they have been worn and
reworn. Sitting creases and the walking
creases make a garment old before IL
has half done it's duty.
Men know this better than women.
A man is well dressed with a small
wardrobe, because every week or so
he makes a change of suits, sends the
suit he has been wearing to the tailor
and never by any chance allows a
wrinkle to become fixed in his gar
ments.
Not all of womans frocks can go to
the tailor, though with the inexpensive
tailor service now to be had she will
do we'll to send her street frocks fire.
quently to be brushed and pressed.
But she can manage TO change her
clothes often enough to give them all
an entire rest. Many sermons have
been preached on this point concern
ing shoes. Everyone knows how nee
essary IL is to change them frequently
and put those not in use away on shoe
trees to prevent the formation of wrin-
kles that become permanent more
quickly in leather than in dress goods.
But it is quite as important to treat
coats and frocks in the same way.
The best rest is given by putting
both skirt and bodice in long boxes or
bureau drawers, where they can lie in
light folds. If sleeves and trimmings
are filled out with tissue paper, so
much the better. Coat and skirt hang
ers can be had at reasonable prices.
They economize room in a clothes
press and skirts and coats placed on
them lose in a few DAYS the lines
where they have conformed to the
figure. These lines not only spoil the
fresh appearance of a frock. but the
material wears around them and loses
color in streaks.
Wash frocks should always be pua
away IN trunks, drawers, OF boxes,
whether they have been worn or not,
for in hanging they grow stringy, ara
more easily affected by dampness and
lose their freshness before they are
worn.
A pretty girl with more taste than
money always puts away her ribbons
and laces to rest This is not so much
to freshen them. though they are inn
proved by it, as to have something
which is new to her and her friends
when she rewears them after their
rest curt

FACTS ABOUT SMILES.

This is the age of scientific investi-
cation and statistics. We ought to be
grateful for it, since the latter not in
frequently contribute to our mirth-
fulness.
A scientific Englishman, displaying
thereby his national characteristic of
taking the humorous side of everything
seriously, has devoted considerable
time to the approximation of smiles,
and now announces the result of his
researches by means of an array of
hgures truly terrifying.
Waited to us across the broad At
lantic comes the information that, ac-
cording to the most careful computa-
tions Alde by the Englisman afore-
said, a woman's mouth temporarily
widens half an inch each time she
smiles. We have seen smiles that
measured more than half an inch, but
the ones referred to are employed as
a matter of form, an expression of po-
likeness, so to speak. Surprising that
every woman smiles at least thirty-six
times daily, which she certainly will
if she possesses even a moderate
amount of amiability, these smiles will
in the course of tWenty-four hours
aggregate half a yard. In the brief
span of only one year her face will
have been Illuminated by 1872 yards of
smiles.
The statistician cautions US, how
ever, that women of gay and lively
temperament, or those who pass
Through joyful experiences will, at
the smallest computation, smile one
yard daily. This would produce over
a mile of smiles in the course of five
years.
A contemporary, commenting on
these novel statistics, playfully sug-
gests a practical use to which they
can be put. Assuming that psycholo-
gists are right when they say that
people can make themselves feel cheer
full by merely compelling themselves
to look so, that, in short, hghtness of
heart is for the most part habit, the
work of physicians is now much sim
plified. We all know that the regular
prescription for indigestion and mel
ancholia or tendency thereto is
laughter. Modern doctors may write
their prescriptions without leaving
anything to the imagination. They
may specify the necessary amount or
mirth to effect cure. They may auto
cratically direct the patient to smile so
many yards in the space of a day or
month, and then the blame for a fail
Ure to cure must lie with the latter.

fury. 1t is a Victorian product, pure
and simple. and is of the same era as
croquet. AS the lanciers, or lancers as
they are called here, called for very lit
tie effort in dancing. they have become
the only square dance which appears
on the list at the different entertain
ments in the civilized world. The odd
quadrilles had many figures, including
tho famous Cavalier Seui, so amusing
ly described by Thackeray and Dickens.
The Princess Hatzfeldt-who was Miss
Huntington-and Mrs. Arthur Paget
have revived this style OF dancing this
summer. 1t has become quite a fad in
London and perhaps it will be intro
duced at Newport when the season be
gins there. The Princess Hatzfeldt had
a cotillion this past week at her Lon
don house, at which she introduced the
quadrille as a feature.

MELTED AWAY LIKE SNOW.
Rapid Disappearance of the Pawnees
Who We're Once "a POwe.-
full Tribe.

That the red man is passing from the
face Of the world has long been a
matter OF common remark. The truth
of the saying never received more strik-
ing proof than in the case of the Paw
nees, h were removed to Oklahoma
from Nebraska in 1876, says the Chicago
Chronicle. AT the time of their removal
from Nebraska the tribe numbered $500
souls. To-day there are less than 500.
The Pawnees were given exceptionally
good allotments in Oklahoma. The eli
mate is practically the game as that OF
their former home, and. in fact, every
thing has been done by the government
to promote their welfare and happiness.
For some unaccountable reason they
have sickened and died. until the day is
not far distant when the Pawnee tribe
will be extinct. The mortality among
them has been growing steadily year by
year. In 1882. six years after their
removal TO Oklahoma, the tribe had
shrunk to $40, and the census of 1900
showed but 600 living Pawnees.

OF these Indians appear most rugged, but

Scientists and professional men gen.

things, but have not as yet been able tc
ascertain what Nemesis pursues the
rugged Pawnee after his twenty-ffth
birthday.

WHY VACATIONS ARE GIVEN.
Mind and Body Are Benefited by
Chang and Relaxation of
Summer Outings.

In this age of tension every boy should
be taught some form of recreation that
he will cling to in after life. When the
thing by which he has made his fame or
money threatens his very existence, he
can turn to this safeguard, and, while
his mind is ~pleasurably occupied, regain
his physical poise. 1t may be yachting,
canoeing on little rivers, mountain
climbing, travelling, horseback riding or
hunting. Whatever it may be, the
thought and the love for it is better en-
gendered during the formative years, if
there is a full understanding that it is
to act as a running mate to the greater
work in life, and is properly and neces-
sarily part of a boys education.
For those who work under modern
stress, there is, with rare exceptions, al
Ways a time when the strain becomes
greater than the endurance, and an en-
forced change is imperative. The sum-
mel vacation is the expression of a phys
ical necessity. 1t has come into exist
ence in America in the last % years, and
it satisfies the need of many, especially
the young, who have not forgotten how
to play, or those, the strong among us,
who learned something as boys that
they still like to do as men. There are
others, however, who are not so fortu-
nately placed, and still others growing
up who do not realize this need.

TROLLEY GOSSIP.

AT the Council meeting Tuesday even
ing, MIR. LaGree stated that while he did
not intend that it should be considered a
threat, he would state that the Raritan
Traction Company and the M. & S. Trac-
ton Company had approached the Jersey
Central and suggested the building of the
outside loop so that they might connect
near Deep Cut bridge and make a thor.
ough route with the saving of considera-
BILE time, and should this be done the
M. & S. Co. would transfer passengers
there for this borough aud only run a car
in town as they saw fit and perhaps even
tually abandon the track in town alto
gether.
Mr.. LaGree also lamented that the com-
pany never had anybody in the borough
to champion their cause or say a good
word for their franchise.
We beg to differ with Mr.. LaGree about
the lack of a good word. Their cause has
been champioled several times in this
paper by the South Amboy Correspond
emf and the latter has uttered many a
good word for their franchise and so have
others. Hon. ]. Montgomery has don't a
pile of talking in their favor also. When
asked by the correspondent why he did
not attend the meeting the other evening,
he said it was impossible for him to do SO.
When told that no one was their to talk
trolley in thu c%ompany's favor, he said
he talked it every day.

remarks made at the public hearing be-
fore the Mayor and Council, s.llishWss

SALISBURY is DEAD.
Eng1and's Great Premier Passed
Away at Hatfield House.

HATFIELD. England, Aug. 24.-
Lord Salisbury is dead. The distin-
| guished statesman was unconscious
in that condition since his momentary
rally two days ago.
Since the condition of Lord Salisbury
became critical the members of his
family, including Viscount Cranborne,
Lord Arthur Cecil, Lord Robert Cecil.
the Rev. Lord William Cecil, Lady
Gwendolen Cecil, the Earl and Coun-
tess of Selborne and later the premier,
Mr.. Arthur Balfour, who came from
Scotland. had been gathered in the vi
| cinity of the sick room awaiting the
final call.
1t was realized that death was inev-
liable, though the patient was making
a wonderful struggle. For the last
t~wenty-four hours he had been fighting
for every breath, helped by Il continual
supply of oxygen.
Robert Cecil, marquis of Salisbury,
| came of a distinguished line. His for
bears had held important places in the
English government during the Eliza
bethan era, William Cecil having been
appointed secretary of state by Queen
| Elizabeth at her first council in Hat
field palace. In the Victorian era Lord
Salisbury's achievements added luster
to the great name of Cecil.
King Edwards tribute to the de-
ceased Marquis of Salisbury says:
1.-THE king has received with pro
found regret the news of the death of
the Marquis of Salisbury, and his maj
esty deeply deplores the loss of so great
a statesman. whose invaluable services
to Queen Victoria, to the king and his
country in the highest offices of state
which he held for so many years will
ever dwell in the memory of his fellow
eountrymen."

DIDN'T WANT EDUCATION.
President of the French Republic Re.
sisted Attempts TO Send Him to
School When "a Boy.

In the days of his youth President
Emile Loubet, of the republic of France.
was of a somewhat strenuous type. He
was then living with his parents at
Marsanne, and he was so fond of his
rambling out-of-door life that he used
to declare that nothing would ever in
duce him to go to a college. His par
ents, however, had their own ideas as to
what was good for him. So his father
made arrangements when Emile was
about nine years of age that he should
go Il the college of Crest. The day
of entry to the school came, but no
Emile could be found. At last, toward
evening, the poor little chap was found
hiding in a neighboring wood. His
prayers and his supplications to be left
his freedom were of no use. His IA
Their was obdurate. To the school at
Crest Emile should go. Then Emile
tried resistance. Useless! The grown
ups were stronger than he. Still the
struggle much have been a heightened
one, and Emile may almost be declared
victor, for it was only by binding his
feet and hands that he could be brought
to the carriage that was in waiting. And
thus, tied hand and foot, was the future
president of France delivered over like
a parcel to the director of the school of
Crest. NJ. Loubet has never ceased to
have the tastes of a nan of the open
air and the fields. He has recently
bought a small estate near his native
place. and his mother remains a true
peasant proprietor.

STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE.
George Lining has been Missing from his
Home Since Wednesday.

MI. George Lining, a fireman in
the employ OF the P. R. R. company,
at Long Branch, but a former resi-
dent of this borough, and son of the
late Geroge w. Lining, having been
on the sick list for some days, in com
pany with his wife and child, visited
his sister in Philadelphia last week.
Wednesday, August 10Th, he placed
his wife on board of a train for their
home at Long Branch, saying he was
going to Jersey City to see the relief
doctor and also to report for work.
Since that time he has not been
seen by his family or any of his
friends. AS he had been complaining
lately of severe pains in his head
strong fears were entertained that his
mind has become affected, as he and
his wife have always lived very
a~ffectionately together and no reason
for his sudden disappearance is
known.
Mrs. Lining waited for him to
come home and as he had not done
so, Friday evening, she came to his
mothers in this borough and told her
about it and on Saturday she and Mr..
Innings sister returned to Philadel-
phia to see if they could trace him
from there. They learned that he had
not reported for work at Jersey City.
1t has since been reported that Mr..
Lining was in Washington D. @. but
was about to leave that city for
another place. 1t is supposed that his
wife and sister will try and trace him
from there. He had a full months
pay with him. His wife and mother
are almost frantic over his disappear
sance.
