Paterson can truthfully say that
things are coming her way lately.
Those people up.there must be terribly
wicked or something to call forth
such calamities as continually visit
them. 1t would be in order for their
Board of Aldermen to appoint COM
mittee to learn who is the Jonah and
get him overheard as quickly as
possible.
Paterson first began attracting
world wide attention when King
Humbert was slain by Bresci, who
was a member of the colony of anar
chists harboring in tine Silk City.
This was followed by the horrible
Jennie Bosschieter case, crime the
equal of which, perhaps, has never
been known. 1t may be these two
blotches on Paterson's fair name that
has brought all this wrath upon her.
At any rate first came the fire.
Flames swept over the city destroying
property valued at between $6.OOO,0 900
81 ,0c0, 600. Hardy he'd the streets
'Joofed off before the Passaic river,
swollen by spring freshets, overfiowed
its banks and flooded part of the
city, doing damage amounting to
about 81 100000.
Riots and bowling mobs held full
swav there for time Buildings
were stoned and the State troops were
called out to restore order. 1t was
thought when this was over that
Paterson had been punished enough.
But not so. Her sins have evidently
been many for now comes the tornado
sweeping across the city, killing and
wounding and leaving destruction in
its path. Paterson is indeed suffer
ing. There seems to be but one thing
left and that is for the earth to oper
and swallow it up. 1t would not bt
at all surprising if Paterson's popula
tion showed a decrease when the mex
census is taken.

The recent accidents in the bay,
one of which was fatal, again sounds
the warning to those who are inclined
to carelessness ON the water. The
two accidents just referred to, accord
ing to all reports, were not caused by
any lack of caution on the part of
those in the boats which capslzed,
but, it only shows how quickly some
thing is liable to turn up at the most
unexpected moment. The water is a
fine thing and affords a great deal of
SPORT but when person trusts him

him and be ready for all emergencies.

LIFE IN THE SEA.

The Curious Things that Thrive in
an Aquarium.
Mr.. Spencer, the superintendent of
the New York Aquarium, a few days
ago was busying himself by picking
lot of sand fieas from a dipper and
dropping them into jar of anemones.
AS they fell into the water they
Strengthened themselves out and then
slowly dropped to the bottom, kicking
as they fell. A few of them alighted
on the body of an anemone, which
promptly closed up. One, unfortun-
ately, found himself, when he had set
tied, on the tentacles of one of the
anemones. These began to serve the
purpose for which they were bestow-
ed upon the anemone. and the flea, or
scud, suddenly found himself inside
the capacious nav of the anemone,
and the life was soon squeezed out of
him.

Popular Fete in Belgium the Origin of
Which Is a Mystery.
The first Monday after Epiphany is
a fete day throughout Belgium. Lost
Monday" it is called here; exactly why
no one seems able to explain The
origin Of the fete is lost in the le-
gends of the middle ages, but the mod
ern acceptation of the day is certainly
lost to no one here. Like Mardi Gras,
Lost Monday is a day of general
merrymaking; every cafe and restau-
rant in Brussels keeps open house."
and free fare is on hand for all pa
irons of the establishment, and as
matter of fact for many others as
well who are not regular patrons.
On Black Monday, then, as it is iron
ically called by some of King Leo
pold's subjects not overenchanted with
the day, the streets of Brussels are
given over to the people. and the adj
venturous foreigner who. ignorant Of
the country's customs. ventures out Is
apt to find that the Belgian populace
is no respecter of persons. On this
day the shOpkeepers, signing behind
their counters, find themselves COM
PEELED to hand over to their custom
ers' servants a forced contribution,
amounting to a certain percentage Of
the years purchases. while the bak-
ers, too, have a contribution to offer
in the shape of cakes specially made
for the occasion. and offered as gifts
to their clientele.
In this manner, says the Brussels
correspondent of the New York
Times, the unique fete is perpetuated.
though the calendar does not note in
any particular manner the first Mon
day after Epiphany.

Equally distant from the mansion,
east and west, are quaint little cot
tages. Originally there was only one
room in each, surrounded on the four
sides by wide galleries. Later one and
two sides have been inclosed, giving
two additional rooms. 1t is about the
east cottage that the principal interest
centers, for it was in this that Mr.. Da-
Wis studied and wrote, and where Miss
Winnie did much of her early literary
work. The main room of this cottage
was Mr.. Davis private library. The
walls are lined with book shelves, and
a little gallery runs along the upper
shelves. This was reached by a small
ladder. Near the fireplace is where Mr..
Davis desk stood, and the door beside
it is spattered with ink thrown from
his pen when he was writing his book.

Government" The east room has been
enclosed, and in this room the chieftain

Back of this was a tiny room where
Miss Winnie wrote. 1t is real girls

The west cottage was occupied by
