being the APPELLANT, had the right to open
and close the case. The opening was
made by submitting, without comment
or addition, the notes which Mr.. Nc
Dermott used in his argument in the
Court of Chancery. We are informed
that these notes cover but a portion of
that argument OF this fact, the Law
Department must have been well aware,
for Mr.. McDermott's offer of the book
for use by the city contains the follow
ing statement.
'In the argument of the Thirteenth

Appeals
'sMr. McDermott's offer was accepted
by your Board, and the Corporation
Counsel was requested to present the
brief '.on the argument" of the case in
the Court of Errors and Appeals. As
an impression is sought to be created
that the manner in which this case has
been submitted to the Court of Errors
and Appeals is in pursuance of a resolu-
ton by your Board, your committee pre-
sents that resolution, as adopted on the
fourth day of March, 1903 1t reads as
follows
Resolved, That the offer of Mr. Allan
L.. McDermott to prepare the brief used
by him as Corporation Counsel of Jer-
sey City, in the Thirteenth street case,
to conform, in its page references, to the
case when prepared for argument on APP
accepted, the services of Mr.. McDermott

Of printing the book to be paid by the
City: and
Resolved, That, the Corporation Coun-
sci be requested to present said book,
when prepared as aforesaid, to the Court
of Errors and Appeals. on the argument
of said case before said Court.
'sHis Honor, the Mayer declined to APP
prove these resolutions, but they became
effective. It does not need argument to
show that the resolutions do not contain
any direction to limit the presentation of
the city's case to the filing Of book
which the author had distinctly said
''was prepared for reference in the
course of an oral argument and therefore
does not adequately present the city's
case" Yet the records show that this
book is the only arguMent presented to
the Court of Errors and Appeals of Jer-
sey City. The railroad companies replied
to it with extensive brief above men
toned. 1t was the right of the city to
present the closing argument, but this
right was absolutely abandoned, and the
case is now in the hands of the Court
without any attempt to answer the argu-
ments advanced by counsel for the rail-
road companies. In presenting these
facts, your committee regrets that the
power to take further action is not COM
mittee to your board.

to prevent him from reaching voters to
talk and shake hands with them. Mayor
Fagan's exploit of climbing ladders to
reach men who were at work on the roof

offset by Judge Murphy's descent into

shadow superstitions.

Our proverb. Devil catch the hind
most" is based on one Of the curious
shadow legends. According to the fa-
BILE, the devil had regular school at
Toledo, Spain. Commencement was
inaugurated by the graduating class
running through a long subterranean
hall. The devil hid at place known
only to himself, and if he Caught the
hindmost" lie ever after claimed him or
her as his special property, Sometimes
he only caught the shadow, and the
persons thus deprived of their second
self were supposed to make the best
astrologers and magicians.
Nearly all East Indian tribes as well
as the Malayans and several African
sects believe that if man walks
along the south bank of a river casting
his shadow across the water a croco-
ollie will seize it and thus draw the
owner to certain death.
Several writer's Fiske among the
rest, say that the Zulus have a supersti-
ton similar to that of the old Baby
lonians-viz, that a dead body has no
shadow. The Modocs and the Kla-
maths of Oregon formerly refused to
have their pictures taken for fear that
the process would take away their
shadows. In the Aryan folk tale the
'witchdaIo," or 'sinfernal Sabbath, ,"
was celebrated only by witches shad-
ows.

Perfect Ia. ration.

For perfect respiration two things
are necessary-chest capacity ant;
breath control. The average individual,
woman especially, uses but limited
portion of the lungs and upper chest
in ordinary breathing. Whenever Il
little unusual physical effort makes de-
mand for an extra breathing capacity,
note how she puffs and pants almost
to a point of gasping. The reason for
this is that the muscles of the lower
chest, waist and abdomen have become
well nigh atrophied through neglect
and abuse. They are stiff and unre-
sponsive and have now to be coaXed
back to a condition of activity and
obedience.
1t is quite as possible to educate
these muscles so that they shall re-
spond to our slightest demand as it is
that our hands are trained to do our
bidding. Different teachers will advo-
cate different forms of breathing up
per chest, side chest, lower chest and
abnormal breathing what we
most want is absolute control, such
control of the muscles as shall enable
us to make use of any desired form of
breathing at the word of command, for
all forms have special values. Full up
per chest breathing is used most, but
lower chest and abdominal breathing
are very valuable in cases of nervous
ness, indigestion, stomach and bowel
troubles.

The Truthful Pioneer.

zone day" said the truthful pioneer,
Il was whacking up some wood down
by the creek, and ten Indians doomed
up. They were pretty thirsty even for
Indians, and they said they knew
had a jug somewhere, and they want
ed to sample it. l had log about half
split at the time, and the ak was stick
ing in it, | told them if they would
help me get that log in two | would
show them where the jug was. So they
took hold, five on one side and five on
the other, and pulled. And when
took the ak out the log sprung together
and held them all by the fingers. Then
/ walked away to the house and loaded
the shotgun and three or four pistols
and then went back and argued with
them, and they reformed right away"
This story, says the Nebraska State
Journal, was originally told of Daniel
Boone or Davy Crockett and has done
good service ever since. 1t is not copy
righted, however and there is no good
reason why Nebraska pioneers should
not use it.

MORRIS FREEBOOTER ELECTION

Question of Change of Relative Repre-
sentation of Townships Arouse Dis
cussion in that County.
There is considerable discussion in
Morris county respecting the present
organization Of the Board of Free
holders. For long period the same
method of electing freeholders has
been followed as formerly prevailed in
other counties, but which has been
greatly modified in certain counties,
notably Essex and Hudson. A gene
raj impression seems to exist that the
system in vogue here is extremely an
tiquated.
Morris township pays one-third OF
the county tax and is rewarded with
one member out of the twenty-one
composing the board. The five town
ships of Chatham, Morris, Hanover,
Randolph and Rockaway have more
than two-thirds of the entire popula-
ton of the county and pay three
fourths of the taxes, yet they have but
five freeholders. AS a result, the re-
manning townships have majority in
the board of two to one. In the five
townships named there is one free
holder to an average population of s.,
200, while in the other townships there
is one freebooter to an average popu'
lation of 1850.
The question has assumed so fan
only local aspect. Neither party has
openly advocated reform in the mat
ter, but several prominent independ
ent voters of influence are planning tC
have bill introduced in the legisla
ture changing the present method

scampering in all directions. Timid

rodents with raised sticks. In a
short time there was some excite

two boys who gathered box full of
mice and for the fun of the thing let

have been bored and short thread
inserted. Attached to each thread is
a tag on which is inscribed: keep

The wild Girnne.

Perhaps the most difficult of all wild
animals to capture is the giraffe. In
addition to being very rare giraffes are
footed. There is no special way to cap
ture giraffe. as almost every way has
been tried, and all have been almost
equally unsuccessful. The method which
has occasionally resulted in capture
is by using a long cord. at each end of
which is round weight This cord is
thrown by the hunter in such a manner
as to wind round the animals legs,
either bringing it TO the ground or rem
dering it incapable of escaping before
it is made prisoner. Most of the
CRATES in captivity have been caught
by chance when young
