school System Complaints.

Trenton, N. j., June Ia Serious
conflict between the oyster and the
riparian interests Of the State have
arisen during the past few months and
the Commemorative public school
system seems to be the loser thereby.
The difficulty arises principally from
che leasing of oyster lands By the
State and County Oyster Boards and
the turning of the money received into
the State Treasury. The law provides
that the proceeds of all riparian trans
actions shall be the property of the
educational department. of the Com
monwealth. The oyster lands, it is
claimed, are clearly riparian property,
and yet in this instance none of the
money is going to the school fund.
The movement inaugurated last year
by Governor Murphy promises to add
millions of dollars to the oyster bust
ness within the next few years. If
the proceeds from leases and rentals of
State riparian lands for oyster pur.
poses was turned into the school fun
the educational system could be
greatly improved with no additional
expense on the taxpayers.

HOW JOSH KILLINGS GOT INSURANCE.

KUN to the conclusion lately that
life was SO unsartin that the only
way for me to stand fair chance
with other folks was to get my life
insured, so I kalled on the agent of
Garden Angel Life Insurance Com

questions, which were put to me
over the top of a pair of spectacles,
by a slick old fellow, with round
gray head on him as was ever owned
"Are yu mail or femaill If so

MONEY MADNESS.

The mania for getting rich-the
mad, false idea that we must have
money-has played worse havoc
among ambitious people than war or
pestilence. A member of the Chica-
60 board of trade says that the men
and women of this country contrib
ute $Ioo, ,ooo, 900 year to the sharp
ers who promise to make them rich
quick. They work the same old
scheme of confidential letter and
shrewd batting until the victim parts
with his money. Thousand are plod-
ding along in poverty and depriva-
tion, chagrined and humiliated be-
cause they have lot been able to
getup in the world or to realize their
ambitions, for the reason that they
succumbed to the scheme of some
smooth promoter who hypnotized
them into the belief that they could
make great deal very quickly out
The great fever Of trying to make
a dollar earn IS is growing more and
more contagious. We see even wo-
men secretly going into brokers' offices
and bucket shops, investing every
thing they have In all sorts of schemes,
drawing their deposits out of the
banks, sometimes pawning their jew
elry-even their engagement rings
and borrowing, hoping to make a lot
of money before their husbands or
families find it out and then to sur
prise them with the results, but in
most cases what they invest is hope
lessly lost.
Thousands of young Americans are
so tied up by 6nancialo or other entan-
clements even before they get fairly
started in their life work that they
can only transmute tithe into that
which will count in their lives. A
large part of it is lost on the way up,
as the energy of the coal is nearly
all lost before it reaches the electric
bulb.

TIE WHITE HOUSE.

lust how the w bite House came to
be so designated is question on which
historians differ. A local historian in
Washington thinks that the burden of
proof tends to give credit for the name
to President Madison.
The structure was made of Potomac
river freestone and the Capitol proper
was built of the same stone. AT the
time the British burned the executive
mansion they did lot of other dam
age, and the country was pressed for
money to repair the same. The walls
of the mansion were only slightly dam
aged, other than being blackened by
smoke. Money was scarce, and Con-
gress made an appropriation to have
the outside of the house painted.
White was selected as the best color.
Madison in letter to personal
friend wrote: Come in and see me
at any time. You will always find me
in at the White House"
The executive mansion may have
been called the White House before
that time, but this investigator says
that be has never been able to find any
record of it. If Madison did not Off
ciate at the christening it has been
emphatically stated by the historian
that he took a prominent part in pub
fishing the fact that the White House
was to be the name of the mansion.
Up to the time of President Madison
the executive mansion, which is the
legal name for it, was generally sro-
ken of as the Presidents house, but
since then it has been known by its
permanent name of White House.

Enlistment with clocklike regularity
why cannot woman so arrange her
household duties as to secure sthe best

Some housewives are too careless
or ignorant to study the best methods
of accomplishing the daily task. Many
of them, to be sure, are irksome but
upon their rightful performance de-
pends the happiness of the home
life.
The result of this negligence is
annoyance, disorder, waste of time

of means.

dissatisfied with their homelife, and

To drink the water of the fountain
Of youth is still in the opinion of some
within the range of possibility. A
recent writer observes that man be-
gan in a gelatinous condition ends
in an osseous or bony one. He is
soft in infancy; he is hard in old age.
Aging Is a process of ossihcation.
After middle life has passed more
marked development Of the ossitic
character takes place. The arteries
become thickened with calcareous
matter and there is interference with
circulation upon which nutrition de-
pends. The whole change from
youth to the old age is one Of steady
accumulation of calcareous deposits
in the system. Entire blockade OF
the functions of the body is mere
matter of time and the refuse matter
deposited by the blood through the
system stops the delicate machinery
we calllife. The blood contains COM
pounds of lime, magnesia and iron.
In the blood itself are there earthly
salts. In early life they are thrown
off; in age they are not. Almost
everything we eat contains these ele-
ments for destroying life. Earthly
salts abound in the cereals and bread
itself, mistakenly called " the staff OF
life, - is one of the most calcareous OF
edibles. heterogeneous food also con-
tains these elements; hence diet
made up of fruit is best for people adj
vanced in years. The daily use OF
distilled water is, after middle life, one
Of the most important means ofspre-
venting secretions and arrangements
Of health. Diluted phosphoric acid
is one Of the most powerful influences
known to science for shielding the
human system from the incoveniences
Of old age. Use itdaily with distilled

uncooked apples and take daily two

Look most to your spending.
No matter what comes in, It more
goes out you will always be poor.
The art is not in making money, but
in keeping it; little expenses, like
mice in a barn, when there are many,
make a crate waste. Hair by hair
the head gets bald, straw by straw
the thatch goes off the cottage, drop
by drob the rain comes into the cham
Der. A barrel is soon empty If the
tap leaks but drop minute. When
YOU mean to save begin with your
mouth; there are many thieves down
red lane. The ale jug is a great
waste. In all other thing keep with
in compass. In clothes choose suit
able and lasting stuff, and not tawdry
fineries. To be warm is the main
thing; never mind the looks. Never
stretch your legs farther than the
blanket will reach or you will soon be
|cold. A fool may make money, but
lii needs wise man to spendit. Re-
member, it is easier to build two
|chimneys than to keep one going.

Ithere IS nothing left for the savings

DEVOTED wAarA1Ls.

The wagtail frequently migrates
from one part of the country to anoth
er and sometimes congregates in
flocks but he pairs for life and the
same pair always reappear, sometimes
when they are least expected and all
the more welcome from their OCCASION
al absence, on their fayorite lawn.
Their devotion to one another is ex-
treme, as scene / witnessed some for
ty years ago but which is as fresh in
my memory as if / had seen it yester-
day, will show.
A wagtail had been killed, probably
by stone, and was lying dead in the
middle ofthe circular drive in front of
the Down House, Blandford. The
survivor seemed beside himself with
grief. Like Eve in Paradise,
he knew not what death was or,
at most, the reality was only gradually
breaking in upon him. He kept rum
ming ,,n to the hadsz x,it1. iala.a n..<z
pIantive call notes. He called, but
there was no response. He caressed
the body. caught hold Of it with his
little bill, coaxed it to move and drew
it after him for yard or two. He
even tried to rise with it in the air.
Then like one distraught, he dashed
away to the edge of the graved
drive and then as quickly dashed
back again to go through the same
mournful processes. Sometimes he
would fly right off in wavering, un-
certain fight as far as the eye could
follow him, as though he could bear
the sight no longer, but without stop
ping to rest he hurried back in
striaghter and quicker fight, unableto
tear himself away, or as if he hoped
that something might have happened
in his absence. This long drawn
tragedy, this abandonment of grief,
watched from the window through
out the afternoon till darkness came
on. Next morning the body had
disappeard and l saw the survivor
no more. .-R. Bosw0yth Smith.
