Sentimental Lyrics.

How the popular song dies past all
resurrection Is emphasized By the no.
tice of the death in Providence of Sam
tiel Mitchell, who was the author of
some Of the most widely known in their
day We suppose that not one in one
thousand Of the young people who greet
with ayidity the new songs of this day
ever heard of Touch the Harp Gently,
My Pretty Louise and yet it had a
sale in this country Of more than 4,000,-
600 copies, to say nothing of its inn
mense popularity in England That must
have been thirty or forty years ago. MFR.
Mitchell wrote Sally Ray" for a popu-
lar minstrel performer, and it was sung
and whistled and tum-tummed on pianos
in every nook and corner of this coun-
try. Most OF tho copies long since went
into ash barrels and the rest are in the
attics. Look at the titles of some Of
Alr. Mitchell's most popular songs: Dear

SEES We're largely OF the sacchariHe type
that was affected by the tenor soloist
of the negro minstrel company, the
choruses lending themselves effectively
to the pianissimo repetition BY the en-
tire troupe, and they thrilled many a
susceptible heart AS poetry they were
mot, Of course, pretentious. Their au-
thor never dreamed that they were. They
did give innocent pleasure TO thousands

their purpose they were pushed aside by

Mutual Reserve Paid This in
One Year to Manager.
THOUGHT IT GOOD BUSINESS
Also Paid $4,000 to Compromise Suit
Threatened by Policy Holders
Combinations -M'cleIIand
Clears Mystery.

New York, Dec. 6.--Lawyer Hughes
did some lively probing of Mutual Re-
serve business methods at the insurance
investigation hearing yesterday. He
ELECTED from Vice President George d.
Eldridge these facts:
That the company paid in 1897 to
Monlton b. Moss, as manager Of agen-
cies in this country, 500 week besides
SIS per cent of the first years premiums
as commissions.
That such commissions, with his s'over-
than $500 900 in that year.
That the Mutual Reserves auditor, j.
S Hofecker, was dismissed when he
demanded an increase OF salary from
$35 to 500 week because he knew
SO much"
That a suit threatened by Hofeeker
and party of policy holders involving
the charge of insolvency, was compro-
missed by the payment of $4,000 to the
attorney in the case.
That Manager Moss got out rather
than have certain of his accounts audited
in certain way.
Former State Senator AIcClelland
again faced Mr.. Hughes, and this time
found his memory concerning the hither-
to mysterious Equitable voucher for
$4,000, which was signed by him de.
spite his protest that he never was EN-
ployed by the Equitable.
He explained that he signed the vouch-
er s*tO obIioev Andrew Fields. the Mu-
tual's Albany man, who wanted to get
the money to fix up his accounts and
who told him the work he had done was
Jas much for the Equitable as for the
Mutual. MeClelland declared, however,
that he never got any money from the
Equitable, and 50 defended his previous
declaration as true.
The IF. Water account" indorsed on
the voucher, he said, was not there when
he signed, and he believed ii was placed
there later by the Equitable. What it
|signifed he could not say.

RIGHT NOURISHMENT.

We think Of nourishment
as food meats, soups, vege-
tables, etc, but that's only half.
It's not the food alone that
counts but the good that we
get from food that furnishes
nourishment. A pound of
steak is of less value to a
weak stomach than a crust Of
bread is to a strong digestion.
But weak stomachs can be
made strong. Begin by eat
ing less; have regular hours
for meals; avoid fancy things
and about a half hour after
eating take a tablespoonful Of
SCOTS Emulsion. It's a fact
Of medical history that people
have lived on not much else
but SCOTS Emulsion for a
long time mot only lived but
gained flesh and recovered
their strength and health.
From the pure Norwegian
cod liver oil to the last drop
Of glycerine, SCOTS Emulsion
contains just the strength
giving and health-building
elements needed for low vital
ity, weak digestion and poorly
nourished bodies.

DENTAL DECAY.
Bad Teeth, 1t Is Claimed, May Lead
to Appendicitis

Bad Teeth, 1t Is Clnimed, May Lead
to Appendicitis.
Appendicitis is often due to bad
teeth, said DR.. e. S. Thompson, lectur-
ing at Gresham college, London. The
same organisms, he said, were present
both In defective teeth and in the dis
eased appendix, which proved that den
tai decay was capable of causing ap-
pendicitis
Il see no evidence to show that our
teeth are deteriorating to an alarming
extent with the growth of civilization"
he declared, and he pointed out that an
even larger proportion of diseased
teeth had been found among Egyptian
and Roman remains than existed at
present
Tobacco has an injurious effect on
the Digestion" he went on, "but l do
not think that nicotine has any more
effect on the teeth than alcohol But
tobacco certainly blackens the teeth
and so causes many persons who are
careful of their personal appearance
to brush their teeth more often than
they would otherwise do"
He had found cod liver oil amazingly
successful in promoting the growth of
teeth in children, and he recommended
the toothbrush drill as part of the cur
riculum of schools. DR.. Thompson al
SO urged the practice of washing the
teeth after meals and rubbing them
twice day. and particularly the last
thing at night.-London Mail.

A LOVER OF SNUFF.

The Queer Will and Funeral of .
Queer EngIishwOman.
The will of Mrs Margaret Thompson,
which is preserved as a curiosity at
Somerset House, England, is a tribute
to the delights and consultations Of
snuff. The testatrix directed that in
her coffin should be buried with her all
her handkerchiefs and sufficient Of the
best Scotch snuff to cover her body.
This she preferred to flowers, as moth
Ing could be more fragrant and so re-
freshing to me as that precious pow

takers In the parish of st. James, West
minister, were to be her bearers Six
old maids, each bearing In her hand a
box filed with the best Scotch snuff to
take for their refreshment as they
walked, were to bear the pail. Before
the corpse the minister was to walk,
carrying and partaking of a pound of
snuff. At every twenty yards a hand
full of snuff was to be delivered to the
bystanders, and at the door of the tes-
tatrix's house were to be placed two
bushels of the same quality of snuff for
gratuitous distribution. In order to In

testatrix made the legacies given by
the will dependent upon an exact and
literal fulfllment of the conditions
above named In closing she babe all

The Superintendent of the Riverton and
Palmyra Water Company has issued an
order that lawn sprinklers must not be
used more than three hours a day. This
action was made necessary by the amount
OF water being wasted by running them
all day and all night. Thursday million
gallons of water was used, and notwith-
standing both the pumps supplying the
stand pipe were run to their full capacity,
| it was impossible to keep it more than
half full. This would be serious con-
dition of affairs should fire break out.
Suddenly, and without warning, Miss
Lavinia Rudderow became mentally de-
ranged last week, and on Thursday was
removed to an asylum. At an early hour,
members of the household were awakened
by singing in Miss Rudderow's room.
Her sister hurried to her room, and,
alarmed at what she saw, called her
mother and brother. A hasty consultation
followed and Drs Buckingham, Thornton
and Mills were summoned. They advised
her early removal to the State Institution
at Trenton, which was done. Nothing
unusual had been noticed by the family
except that the young woman had COM
planned of severe headache during the
past week, which was unusual, as she had
always enjoyed exceptionally good health

engrossed in books. 1t is thought her
close application, together with the excess
sive heat, may be the cause of her Attic

New Zealand there is a bird called the
parson bird, or ''tui" 1t is about the
size and shape of a blackbird, but has
a pair of delicate white tufts at its
throat and is glossy dark green 9th

speak, to whistle tunes, and, besides
these tricks, it has a repertory which
is not often equaled by any other

a note like the toll of a bell or the
clear, high note of an organ. 1t can

Forestry in New Jersey.

New Jersey is about to begin its frs
real WORK as State in practical forestry
At the suggestion of Governor Stokes.
the last Legislature passed an act for the
establishment of forest park reservations,
and created State Board of Forest Park
Reservation Commissioners Under the
provisions of the law creating the board
(Chapter AZ, Laws of 1900 the Commits
sioners were authorized to acquire fee
simple estate in any lands to be taken for
the purposes of forest park reservations,
the acquisition to be accomplished either
by deed, gift or devise; or. if necessary.
by condemnation proceedings; and when
the land for this purpose is once acquired
it is to be held for the benefit of the peo-
pie of New Jersey. To the Commission
was given the care, management and pre-
servation of the reserves, and it was also
directed, to quote the exact wording of
the law, "to keep in view, and, SO far as
it can, put in operation the best method
to re-forest cut over and denuded lands, to
forest waste and other lands, to prevent
injury of forests by fire, the administer.
ing and care of forests or forestry princi-
pies, the encouragement of private owners
in preserving and growing timber for
commercial and manufacturing purposes
and the general conservation of forest
tracts around the headwaters and on the
water sheds of all water courses of the
state"
From the foregoing extract it will be
seen that the law contemplates rendering
great service to the timber land owners OF
New Jersey, and it is to be the aim of the
Commission to carry out the provisions Of
the statute as fully as it is possible to dc
so. To this end, therefore, the Commits
sion is asking the newspapers of each
county to put before their readers just
what the new law is. In this way it is
hoped to reach the owners of forest OF
timber tracts, who would sell their pro.
perty to the State for forest reserves OF
who would like to have the aid of practi
cal forestry in the development of their
tracts
The information desired would greatly
facilitate the work of the Commission by
saving the preliminary investigation ne
cessary to ascertain who have forest lands
to sell. If all such owners to whom this
notice comes will communicate with the
secretary of the Commission, William H.
Chew, Camden, N. j., giving the size,
character, location and price per acre at
which they would sell their tracts. the in :
formation will be filed with the Commits
sion, to be taken up at an early meeting.
1t is to be hoped that all timber land own.
ers, as well as others interested in forestry
in New Jersey, will cooperate with the
Commission in this matter
