He Kent the Grapes.

Mr.. Gladstone one day evaded ar
international regulation at the
Franco-Italian frontier as follows: He
was carrying for his refreshment
basket of fine grapes, which stringent
regulations at the time forbade being
taken from one country to the other
on account of phylloxera, an insect
that attacks the roots and leaves Of
the %grapevines. Mr.. Gladstone's great
brain reviewed the situation; he must
obey the law, but he was determined
to have the grapes, SO he sat down
then and there on the railway station
bench and ate them.

SCHOOL CENSUS.
Board Of Education win Have One Taken
After Nearly Ten Years.

After many Intellectual attempts to
secure the funds with which to take
a school census. the Board of Educa-
tion will probably take such a census
next year. AS the Board of Estim-
ate has requested the Board of Edu-
cation to do this work, it is expected
that there will be little delay now in
securing the necessary appropriation.
h last school census was taken
in 1897, and is of nj service at the
present time. 1t is essential to know
where the centres of school popula-
ton are in order to determine where
new buildings should be located.
Since consolidation many attempts
have been made to secure an appro-
priation to carry on the work, but
without results.

COMMUNICATION FROM
G. A. SEXTON.
Offer to Refund Money If Hyomei
Does Not Cure Catarrh.

Offer to Refund Money IL Hyomei
Does Not Cure Catarrh.
To the Editor of the Perth Amboy
News:
| have been asked recently If the
advertisements printed in your col
umns regarding Hyomei were true,
where l offer to refund the money
if this treatment does not cure ca
tarrh. l wish you would please
print this letter in as conspicuous a
place as possible in your paper, say
ing that we absolutely agree to re-
fund the money to any purchaser OF
a Hyomei outfit if it does not cure
catarrh.
This outfit consists of an inhaler
of a convenient size to be carried in
the vest pocket so that the use can
breathe Hyomei four of five times
daily. With this is included a medi-
cine dropper and a bottle of Hyomei.
The outfit sells for $1.00 and is a
most economical treatment, for the
inhaler lasts a lifetime and there is
enough Hyomei for several weeks
use, while extra bottles can be OBJ
tanned for 90 cents,
/ trust this letter will settle any
doubts that may have arisen as to
my willingness to refund the money
for a Hyomei outfit, in case the pur-
chaser is not perfectly satisfied.
Respectfully yours,
G. A. SEXTON.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-The football

down to total abolition. was considered
at the first session of the gentlemen
who have the games welfare i'll charge.
a prominent halfback said:
down in his heart each man on that
committee knows that football Is all
light as at present played, with rough
ness and foul play eliminated. 1t needs
neither adjustment nor radical change,
What it needs is a system of selecting
officials of the Bill Edwards type who
will enforce those rules at present in
the book. 1t is certainly true that
We're there n universal tendency of
those playing football to live up to the
highest ideals of the sportsman while
in the game there would be no cause
for complaint.
ITS rough, sure. and that's just why
it's popular. 1t gives Il fine chance to
bring out the courageous in boys and
young men. Accidents will happen, of
course. but not TO any alarming extent,
among those physically qualified to
play the game"
