at their bases could be plainly seen
from shore and the phenomena was
watched with great interest by many
A large steamer appeared to he di

FIDDLERS AND DRUMMERS.
The Two Glasses of Insects That Pro-
duce audible Sounds.

Insects that produce sounds audible
to human ears have been roughly divid-
ed into two clasSes-fiddlers and drum
mers. The grasshopper is a fiddler and
makes music by scraping its fore wings
against the row of spinelike teeth that
ornament its thighs. The katydid also
plays an chronological fiddle. 1t pro-
duces it's notes by rubbing the inner
side Of the hind legs Ove the front
wings.
The locust, on the other hand, Is q
drummer, and a loud one too. His
drum is formed by a membrane stu
ated ut the base of the fore wing, and
he can make Il forest ring with It. The
cicada, or seventeen year locust, car
ries Il drum at the base Of the abdomen
and makes with it n noise that seems
to be quite as terrifying in the insect
world as that produced by the gorilla
pounding its ~resounding chest is among
wild beasts. 1t is said that the cicada
sometimes frightens away its enemies
with the rattle of its drum.
There are other drumming insects
! which make good music, but the violin
lists, after all, carry off the palm, fol
the great insect s~oloist, the cricket, is {
fiddler.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT evidently
differs with the calendar makers as to
when Thanksgiving should be held
The calendars make the 23rd of No
vember the red letter day, while the
President in his proclamation sets
apart the Both as day of thankSgiv-
ing and prayer. One feature of the
proclamation addresses itself to the
conscience of all men, but it is proba.
bic those Of one kind or another will
not take it home to themselves. 1t is
that the people "should manfully
acknowledge their shortcomings and
pledge themselves solemnly and in
good faith to strive to overcome them"
Ito "consecrote themselves to a life
Of cleanliness, honor and wisdom. .
How many Of the men who are seek
ing riches by devious inethOds,Nor are
hunting official position by cafuniny,
win pay any attention to the Presi-
dents suggestion? With too many of
the sort the hoped for ends justify the
means, and no shortcoming is permit
ted to escape them. 1t would be a.
great. glad day for the American peo-
pie il they could be Of one mind on the
Both instant, and, adopting the Presi-
dents request, should resolve to con-
secrate themselves to a life of cleanli-
ness, honor and WISDOM" and to-
pledge themselves to strive to be just
to one another !; to cease their unhal-
lowed greed for wealth and position,
and to act uprightly in every relation
AS the President says, "the foes from
whom we should pray to be delivered
are our passions, appetites and follies."
There is a whole sermon in that, and
there is not an intelligent citizen OF
sound moral fibre who win not be able
to eonstrue the text to his own benefit
ifso disposed. In these political times
tile suggestion to be delivered from
passion and folly is one worthy OF
earnest consideration and approval.

THE expected has happened and the
Republicans have carried Morris coun-
ty, George Shaw being elected Sheriff
and John NJ. Mills and Richard j.
Chaplin Assemblymen by good ma
jorities. The game Of brag INDUCED
in by the Democratic candidate for
sheriff deluded a few people, but to
anyone familiar with the situation in
this county there was no apprehen-
sions whatever, even the Democratic
leaders agreeing that it was impossible
for them to carry the county without
organization or leadership unless there
was tremendous landslide Of which
there was not even shadow. The
boasting, however, had one good effect
as it stirred up the Republicans
throughout the county to greater eff
forts and the sweeping victory is the
result.

lpashsnsson'A remedy for Pneumonia.

wash5nGton's Remedy for Pneumonia.
Owing to the prevalence of pneu-
mOnia and the great mortality which
ATTENDS it's ravages during the winter
and spring, several boards of health in
northern New Jersey have been taking
measures to- protect the citizens of
their towns from the disease. The
Health Board of Washington has pub
lished a remedy which is said to be a
sure cure for pneumonia, and other
health boards are looking into the
matter with view Of having the
same thing published for the good of
the general public. 1'his is the publ
cation as it has been issued by the
Board of Health. Take six to ten
onions, according to size, and chop
fine, put In a large spider over hot
fire, tEen add the same quantityofrye
meal and venegaF enough to form a
thick paste. In the mean while stir
1t thoroughly, letting it simmer fiye,or
ten minutes. Then put in al cotton
bag large enough TO cover the lungs
and apply to chest as hot as patlent
can bear. In about ten minutes apply
another, and thus continue BIZ neheat-
ling the poultices, and In few hours
the patient will be out of danger.
This simple remedy has never failed t(
cure this toO-0ften fatal malady. Usual
lly three or four applications win be sui
| fcient, but continue always until thu
Precipitation starts freely from ths
chest. This remedy was formulated
many years ago by one of the best ply
sicians New England has ever known
who never lost a patient by the dis
ease, and won his renown by simple
remedies.

MEETING.


There is a. town in New England
that has the reputationsof being the
best governed Community in the coun-
try. In form this town is a pure dem
ocracy its highest governing power is
the town meetingn In actual oper-
alton, however, it is an oligarchy
that is to say, a few citizens, more ac-
tive than the others, "run things.
Perhaps this statement should be
amended, SO as to read that the town
is governed both by an oligarchy Of
citizens and by town meeting for
while ordinarily the former are per-
mitted to 'trun things as they please,
the machinery exists for quick and
effective expression Of public opinion.
and at times the whole body of voters
avail themselves of this machinery.
That is what all good government
must be, whether in politics or bust
ness. The machinery must be demo-
cratic, providing ample opportunity
for quick and effective expression of
public opinion. In actual operation,
however, an oligarchy will necessarily
exist, for few men, able and more
enterprising than the rest will take
the leadership.
II, however, the oligarchy Of leaders
develops into brutal and corrupt
machine, suppressing Or overriding
the democracy if in politics. the lead
ers become bosses, and if in business
the leaders become autocrats, using
power for oppression and spoliation,
then the government becomes fit for
revolution. If, on the other hand.
the democracy town meeting
becomes a mob, using its Iower for
revenge and condscation, then there
is government fit for anarchy.
What is needed is less bossism and
more democracy, and less anarchy and I
more leadership. This is as true II
business as in politics. AT present.
there is a revolt against bossism and /
power, May it not degener-
ate in a mob movement leading to
One extreme does not justi-
fy another, although it often results
in it. Wall Street Journal.

THE report Of the public school fund
just published should be a source Of
pride for every Jerseyman as it shows
that the public school endowment
fund has reached the magnificent sum
OF 81, '09, 880.53, and the income,
except so much as it may be
judged expedient to apply to an in
crease of the capital, shall be annually
appropriated to the support OF free
public schools, for the equal benefit of
all the people of the State, = under the
constitution, which also provides
that the fund for the support of free
schools, and all money, stock and other
property which may hereafter be APP
propriated for that purpose, or re-
ceived into the treasury under the
provision of any law heretofore passed
to augment the said fund, shall be
securely invested and remain perpet-
ual fund. Besides the more than $500
900 annually received in interest ana
the receipts from the State school
tax, the State has Tor many years APP
propriated annually about a million
dollars from the treasury surplus for
support Of the schools and the receipts
from riparian grants are added to the
fund. To the credit d. the Legisla-
ture it is to be said that only once or
twice haye there been attempts made
to divert moneys from the school fund,
and those were so strongly condemned
by the people of the State that they
are not likely to be repeated.
