much in Hudson County as the property
of other persons in Jersey City and the
property owners Of other sections Of the
county are just as much entiaed to profit
BY its listing as is Jersey City.
The dishonest practice Camden had of
returning to the county board smaller
list Of ratables than was used by the
city in collecting its taxes, until q few
years ago. brought down upon Camden
city the welI-nerfted condemnation Of
the balance Of the State.
How much less dishonorable is it to
make legal a similar proceeding in Hud-
son County?
The plea is made that property in
Hudsoa County, outside of Jersey City,
is not assessed At 50 nearly its true
value as is that of Jersey City. There
fore, there IS more reason for going to
the root of the matter.
Assess al property, whether in Hud-
On, or Salem, or any other county, at
true value. Then tax all alike That
is the only solution of the taxation
problem That will measure up to the
constitutional requirement that AL
property shall be assessed under general
laws and by uniform rules, according to
it's true value

THE VALUE OF oPALs.
1t Mainly Depends ON the Colora
shosxn In the stones.

1t Mainly Depends ON the Colors
shown In the stones.
Veins Of opals are usually met with
in soft formations where nothing above
ground indicates their presence. The
search for them. therefore. often re-
auires considerable time. But z is not
extremely difssca:r, for opals are gener-
ally foand near ire surface. Indeed. it
was thought for a long time that they
we're not to be found as deep as twelve
feet below the surface. This opinion
has. however. given way in the light of
evidence, because opaIs of great value
have been discovered at depth Of fifty
feet
The value Of opals depends upon sew
eral considerations, OF which the prin-,
eiDaI .ons IS the eo!or. It is important
that they should be bright and not pre-
sent streaks or spots alternating with
uncolored substance. The most yalua-
BILE are those which have red fires or
mixtures of red and yellow, blue and
green. Opals Of q single tint are of lit
tie value unless the tint is particularly
striking and the figure beautiful. In
deed one Of the essential qualities of
the opal Ii the arrangement of the fig
ure, which sets off strikingly the hue of
the stone.
When the figure is quite regular and
distinct 1t is the more valuable. much
less SO when the grain is quite small
and irregular. Sometimes the color ap-
pears as a single blaze or with figures
regularly spaced. 1t may then be of a
fine ruby red and is much sought after,
but oftenest the uniform tint is only
green or reddish and has but little brill
lfancy.
The cutting is very important for the
opal, Thus Il thick stone will be much
less beautiful than thin stone. which.
on losing part of its volume. loses also
the figure. The foundation tint contrib
utcs much TO the beauty 1t ought to
be transparent. slightly milky and har-
monize fully with the different refiec-
tons of the opal. which. when it is real
IL beautiful, presents a variety of hues
infinitely pleasing to the eye.-Jewelers'

TOOK A STRAW VOTE.



An advertising agent representing
prominent New York magazine, while on
d recent western trip, was dining one
evening in a Pitttsburg restaurant.
While waiting for his order he glanced
over his newspaper and noticed the adj
vertisement Of a wel-known dyspepsia
preparation, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's AS he himself was a regular user
Of the tablets, he began specuiating as
TO how many of the other travelling men
in the dining room were also friends Of
the popular remedy for indigestion.
He says: counted twenty three men
at the tables and in the heel Office !
took the trouble to interview them and
was surprised to learn that nine Of the
twentysthree made practice of taking
onesor two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
after each meal
One Of them told me he had suffered
so much from stomach trouble that at
one time he had been obliged to quit the.
road, but since using Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets had been entirely free from in
digestion but he continued their use.
especially while travelling on account of
irregularity in meals and because Like
all travelling men he was often obliged.
to eat what he could get and not always
what he wanted.
Another who looked the picture Of
health. said he never ate a meal without
taking Stuart Tablet aflerwafd be-
cause he could eat what he pleased and
when he pleased without fear Of a Sleep
less night or any other trouble.
Still another used Them because he was
subject to gas on stomach. causing pres
llssure on heart and lungs. shortness Of
breath and distress in chest. which he no
longer experienced since using the tab
lets regularly.
Another claimed that Stuart's Dyspsp-
sia Tablets was the only safe remedy he
had ever found for sour stomach and
acidity. He had formerly used common
soda to relieve the trouble, but the tab
let's were much better and safer to use.

Mark Twain has evolved another def

credited with saying, is a professional
fool, whereas wag is only an amateur
fool. What am [? Why a serious phil
osopher, of course. ! never pretended to
be anything more worthy
In looking over the field of business
to-day should say that the chances for
suceess are multiplied a hundredfold,
rather than decreased, by the trust
method of capitalization. Now. as then,
there are two roads TO success. One is
to become an employee, the other is to
begin as a proprietor, says George F..
Tyrone, in the Chicago Tribune. Losing
ones job is often a blessing in disguise.
My advice to the young man who loses
his job is to stay out of a job perma-
nently. If your employer discharges you
mo matter for what cause--don't try to
hire yourself TO anybody else, unless it
be to rich trust or great company of
one or another kind. Get into the SER
vice of big company, or go into busi-
ness for yourself--eyen though it be SELL
ing buttons or shoestrings.
/ knew a Young man in Chicago whose
employer fired" him one Saturday night
for sheer incompetence. The poor fellow
tried to get work and failed utterly.
Then he got an option on corner lot,
sold the option at profit of $40, 600,
and is now leading real estate man.
Another real estate man, who is worth
s2,000O0o. was launched on the road to
success by being practically kicked out
Of the Office Of another real estate man.
He swore he would never again be SER
want. He starved for two years, but
finally things began to clear up. To-day
he could buy out his old employer four
times over.
The same thing is true Of several Of
the most successful insurance agents III

some line, with ability that will com
mand good wages, get back to the sol
and begin selling peanuts Or working on
