4 Unending work without an OCCASION
al recreation may be an effective way
to make money. but it is not the pro-
cess which capacitates people for the
enjoyment Of life. states the Breeders
Gazette. Farmers who believe they
can not afford to separate themselves
for a brief period, once a year or Oft
ener, from their labors, have failed to
appreciate the wholesome philosophy
in the old adage: "All work and no
play makes Jack dull boy" They
have worked too hard with their mus
lcles to think clearly with their brains.
If they have found pleasure in peren-
NAL toll the Psychologist would say
that they have depraved their finer ma
lures, since man is neither physical
nor mental machine. He profits by
change. Rest increases his capacity

Gambling Raid at Seabright.

i
Sheriff BogaTdus raided a gambling
den in the John j Brehm building, on
Ocean avenue, Seabright, at 1.30
o'clock in the morning. Forty men,
including the players and lookers-0D,
were in the building at the time, and
all but three or four were caught in
the drag-net For weeks the Sheriff
has had spoilers in the vicinity of the
/. Westchester Hotel, kept by John J.
Brehm. The adjoining building is used
as grocery store, with the gambling
den on the second floor. The alleged
proprietor is A. T. Gilmore, who made
his escape. When Sheriff Borgardus
and his posse entered, the place was
filled. The game was In progress, and
the officers seized the cash, chips and
paraphernalia. There was a rush for
the doors and windows. Sheriff Bo-
gardus whipped out his revolver and
ordered every man to remain. His
words were generally obeyed, although
few Of the party got away by jump
ing from the second story window.
John II. Golfer was among the num-
Der. He broke his arm IN falling.
Gilmore, it is believed, escaped by
jumping from the window. Another
who jumped landed in the arms Of an
officer. Ex-Mayor P. Hall Packer, who
is q Justice of the Peace, was called
and court was convened in Packers
Hall. Some Of the men gave bail in
the room which had been used as q
gambling den. John ]. Brehm, the
owner of the building, was put under
$1,000 bail. The others gave bail run
ming from 5000 to $780, There were
some twenty John Does'' in the lot.

Girl Buried Alive III sandpit.

Annie Lobb, eight years old, daugh-
ter of John Lobb, Of Franklin avenue,
Nutley, had narrow escape from a
horrible. death, owing to cave-in at
the sandpit at Kingsland street and
Hillside avenue. The little girl was
playing in the pit with several COM
panions of her own age, when the
bank suddenly fell in and buried her
completely. John Janison and his
two sons, Of Kingsland street, respond
ed to the alarm of Annals companions.
They quickly removed the sand from
the girls face and head, digging with
their hands, and then completed the
little girls release with shovels. The
child was taken to her home uncon-
scious, and two physicians worked
over her for several hours before they
were able to bring her to. The little
one undoubtedly owes her, life to the
presence Of mind of her companions,
who were prompt to realize the peril
she was in, and to the quickness of
the Jamisons in responding to the
alarm.

know little about Japan. if it is not

wish TO know is the size of the country
its population and brief outline OF its
history. PENNY RIVER.
Ans.-Japan (the native name Nippon
meaning Land of the rising sun,") is
very ancient island empire of eastern
Asia, and the present ruling family

B. G..
The history of japan from an inter-
national point of view is very monot-
onous for country as old as this. 1t
has long been noted for the proud, iso-
latipg policy of its rulers. but is now
attracting special attention on account
of its being recently opened up to the
civilized world, and taking place in
history as one of the powers in the far
east. It's latest move viz, war against
Russia, considered one of the great
powers of the world, will il successful
place this little empire among the die
tators of the eastern world. 1t will
also prove TO the world that Russia has
been greatly overestimated as power,
and will give the country greater set
back than the Crimean war OF 1886.
Japan proper consists of four large
islands, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu and
Yezo, and many small islands, in all
about 1000. The area of the empire is
in the neighborhood OF $4,000 square
square miles, containing population
of about 100000, or about half the
population of the United States. The
Portuguese were the first to awaken
Japan, from "its frog in the well'' life
during the year 1543 when the Portu-
suese landed on the islands and for
many years carried on paying trade
with the natives, but were wholly
driven o~t IL 1898. FrAn this time nc
