Women Win Political Conn.

Fifty women voted at the school cleo
ton in North Brunswick Township,
and defeated the regular ticket. Judge
s. w. Vandervoert, Of the opposition,
had arranged for the women to appear
at the polls in a body just before the
time of closing, and then cast their
ballots in such numbers that the other
side would not have a chance to gather
their forces to overcome them. Though
fifty women were in the secret the
doomed men did not know a thing Of
the scheme until the women began to
flock. The candidates who won by aid
of the women's votes were Joseph
Wildgoose, G. W. Kuhlthau, Edward
Suydam. Louis Messeroll, S. w. Van
dervoert and William Hunt. The fact
that the women voted may lead to the
election being set aside. Under a deci-
eision of the courts School Trustees are
municipal officers, for whom only male
citizens may vote.

inches inside. The ends are three
fourths inch and the sides o%ne-fourth
inch material. A box in which apples
come from Colorado and New Mexi-
co is a little shorter and deeper. but
Of about the same capacity.
A new box shown in the figure holds
a little more than a bushel. A special
feature is the panel ends. These make
the package lighter and stronger than
If the ends were Of one solid thick
piece, the panels acting as braces and
making handles. The best way to get
these boxes is in the form of shocks.
They are easily put together by any
one who car handle hammer and nails.
Making boxes is entirely different
from putting barrels together. We
never recommend any one to attempt
this unless he has had some expert
ence at cooperage business, as barrel
slaves are as contrary things as one
can imagine. Box shocks may be
stored in some clean place and take
but little room. Now that Eastern
manufacturers are getting into the
apple box business we expect to see
the odd size mongrel boxes displaced
by something nearer uniform, though
1t may take several seasons to learn
just what size and form are best
adapted to our needs. The form must
be governed by convenience in storage,
handling and shipment and the size
by the demand of the trade, which we
believe is best satisfied by a bushel or
a little over. The chances at present
are that it will pay to hold the best
of the apples and box them for winter
shipment. 1t will never do to put in
ferior apples in boxes. This is a new
package in most markets, and more
than one season may be required to
make buyers familiar with it. The
'bulk" shipment of fruit is rarely sat-
~isfactory in the long u If a man
has a good lot of choice apples we
should advise him to try the box ship
ment. There may not be much in it
the first season, but this package is
sure to come into use, concludes Ru-
raj New Yorker in giving the foregoing
advice.

Poultry Notes.

Prevention is better than physics,
especially in the poultry yard.
Keep plenty of grit where the fowls
can eat what they want at any time.
The small poultry yards and houses
need more attention than the larger
ones
Many of the poultry diseases are the
result of crowding and unclean sur.
roundings.
Lazy men make bad poultry men.
Only hustling, busy, wide-awake men
ever succeed.
All fowls that you do not intend to
winter should be sold before cold
weather sets in.
Theory works very poorly in the
poultry yard. You need good, sound
sense, coupled with experience.
Do not imagine that you know all
about the poultry business. 1t takes
years of experience to insure success.
Be kind to the poultry and teach
every hen to love and know you. Re-
suits will tell of every little favor
shown.
Dark skin fowls are just as sweet
and juicy as the yellow. 'Tis not the
color that makes the favorite fowl for
the table.
Charcoal is very beneficial to the
fowls, and you never see a case of in.
digestion where the fowls are given
access to it.

Woman Felled a Tramp.

Mrs. John Risler, left alone in her
isolated home at Washington by her
husband, gave a tramp a warm recep-
ton with a cane and a revolver one
day recently. Her husband had just
left the house. The tramp, observing
his departure, knocked at the rear
door, and getting no answer, after
peering through the keyhole, went to
the front door and rang the bell con
~tinuously for fifteen minutes. Mrs.
Risler, angered by his persistence, took
an iron-headed cane, threw open the
door suddenly and felled the tramp
with one blow. Then she struck him
half a dozen times. Covered with
blood, the man ran away, but returned
o with a heavy club. This time
Mrs. Risler met him with a loaded re-
volver, which she threatened to use.
This took the fight out of the tramp,
and he got out of the neighborhood,
vowing that he would return.

BALLADE OF real

The stolid maids of Seoul, I sing,
In lorn Korea by far Cathay,
Who keep unspoiled, so the rumors ring.
Their prime traditions of yesterday
II is said they've never a toll to pay
To tickle fashion, in smiles OF tears;
They wear (then surely they will for aye)
The selfsame styles of a thousand years.
The ruling dynasty, namely Ming,
DEGREES no changes shall e'er inveigh
To foil the within of the first old king
Who gave to custom his yea and nay;
So fair Koreans must needs obey,
AS each new lord on the throne appears,
And don, submissively as they may,
The selfsame styles of a thousand years.
Oh, queens of fashion, who quickly fling
A seasons dresses like chaf away,
If you were fated from spring to spring
To wear ma~de-overs, what would you
say?
Oh, ladies dainty, and ladies gay
To veil ones face, and to stop ones ears!
For play or parlor the same array
The selfsame styles of a thousand years!

Peril of the Tonrne.

"Not that which entereth into the mouth
defleth the man; but that which proceed
eth out of the mouth, this de6leth the
man." 1t makes a vital and an eternal
difference to US how we express ourselves.
A man is in greater danger of self-destruc-
ton by speaking than by eating. Former
ly many French words were in common use
by the Germans, but now the Emperor's
influence is toward the substitution of
German terms for the Freneh-the idea
being that, as the people speak, SO they
will become. This is supposed to beget a
higher and more solid patriotic or national
spirit-as, other things being equal, it
must. Statesmen perceive this truth in
the bottom principle enunciated by Jesus,
and thus apply it. But in our individual
lives we often forget to act on it. 1t
harms us to think evil; it harms us even
more to say what we think. 1t is for this
reason that silence is so often golden. But
it is also on the same general principle
that it is worth while to speak a pleasant
word-if we can do no more.-Sunday-
School Times.

Russian Troops in the East.

AN@1
London, Eng.-The st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Express mails a
long story of official corruption in Rus
STA, which seems, from his account, to
be equal to that in China. He in
stances scandalous scamping at the
dOckyards, and says that money all
lotted for military and naval stores
has been pocketed. The officials all
around misappropriate part of the
funds passing through their hands.
The correspondent declares that cor
ruption has been responsible for the
succession of defeats that Russia has
suffered. He asserts that the official
assurances that there were coal and
provisions enough at Port Arthur to
enable that place to withstand a two
year siege, were untrue. When 10000
tons of coal were ordered to Port Ar
thur only 5000 would reach the place,
the officials dividing the cost of the re-
mainder. There are thousands of
sacks at Port Arthur supposed to con-
tain sugar, but which in reality are
filled with clipped brick. The CORE
spondent adds that the Car has taken
a firm stand and is determined to stop
the corruption.
OF the 10000 Russian troops that
have arrived at Hardin during the last
forty days, only about 5000 have been
able to proceed to the front, says the
correspondent of the London Times.
OF this number 1000 have been sent
to Newchwang, Mukden and Port Ar
thur and 1000 to Vladivostok. The
greater part of the remainder are in
the hospitals at Hardin, as the men
were in wretched condition when they
arrived.
There is great disorder at Hardin
Junction, where Notifications are being
erected, and it is hoped that when this
is remedied troops will arrive. at the
rate Of 1000 a day.

Aged Woman's Horrible Fate

The horribly burned body of Miss
Sacchi d'Cassali. aged ifty-five years,
sister of Chevalier G. F. Cassali, foun-
ders of the first Italian colony in South
Jersey, was found reposing in a chair,
near a small stove. in her home at
Vineland. 1t is believed the woman
was stricken with apoplexy and her
clothing was ignited by her falling
against the stove. Cardeman Moore,
an insurance agent, saw smoke issuing
from the house. and rushing in was
just in time to e%xtinguish the flames,
which were fast consuming the WON
ans body. Her clothing had been re-
duced to ashes, and one side of her
body was blistered.

Against Pigeon Shooting.

The House previous to its adjourn
ment passed Assemblyman Ernst's bill
prohibiting the shooting of live pigeons
for sport. Many of the members tried
to dodge when the measure came up on
final, passage, and the services of the
Sergeant-at-Arms were required to
bring them within the bar Of the
House. The vote was 80 to 10, only
one more than the majority required to
pass the bill. The fight to prohibit
pigeon shooting has been u~nsuccess-
fully waged in the State for several
years, previous bills having been killed
in the Senate after passing the House.
The bill was fought up to the last by
members of various shooting clubs in
the neighborhood of New York and
Philadelphia.

Duty is always divine.
A muzzle is not a cure
He who cannot bear humility cannot

When a boy looks sanity send for a doc

Hitch your wagon to a star, but don't

An empty dignity is as valuable as a hol-

The best kind of hope is that which

The only effective prison bars are those
