Man and HI. Pockets.

The average tailor made man, when
fully clothed, will be found to be in
possession, more or less ignorantly, 1t
is true, of fifteen or sixteen pockets.
There will be two side and two hip
pockets and watch pocket in his
trousers His coat will have two lower
and one upper pocket exteriorally and
two inner pockets. There is sometimes
a small pocket in addition, the counter
part Of the trousers watch pocket.
Then there is his vest, with two lower
pockets, two upper pockets and one or
two inside pockets. Now, no man living
can possibly utilize all of this equip
ment. He may find half or three
fourths of them sometimes convenient,
but even then he can't keep track of
what he puts in them. If he seeks a
key or a coin, letter or a memoran-
dun, it means search through all Of
them and frequently results in bring
ing to light some article that he had
long forgotten or given up for lost

The largest of the common English
bats is the noctule. Its wings meas
ure nearly fourteen inches across, and
it flies high and swiftly. Bats lead a
life of strenuous bodily energy, alter
mating with periods of suspended and
nation more or less complete, which
perhaps save them from becoming
physical wrecks. Even their daily
sleep often resembles Information. Ere
quently the bodily functions are almost
entirely suspended. Instead of remain
ing warm, sensitive and partly senti-
ent, as a child Is in dreams, the bats
temperature drops as it passes into
oblivion; its wings, completely folded
over its body, wrap it in deathlike
and dusky shroud; its breathing almost
stops, and it is to all appearances dead
Pick it up and warm it in the hand
and its heart seems once more to beat
1t gasps, opens it's mouth, sucks the all
into its lungs, and in few minutes II
passes from deathlike sleep to intense
life, voracious hunger and peevish
swapping energy.-London Nature.

Ancient Hor.e Leeislation.

1t was ordered in the reign of Henry
VIII, 1885, that no one should keep q
stallion Of less than fourteen hands
and this Is supposed to have led to
the disappearance of a smaller and
most useful horse peculiar to Cornwall
By later act every archbishop and
duke was compelled to have seven
trotting horses for the saddle, each
fourteen hands high at three years,
Regulations were also made for the
kings subjects of lower degree down
to spiritual person whose benefce
was S100 per annum and a layman
whose wife should wear any French
hood or bonnet Of velvet"
These were to have a trott1ng horse
for the saddle, but in the reign Of
Elizabeth an exception was made in
favor Of Cambridgeshire and other
counties, which ION account Of their
rottennssse, infirmnesse, moisture and
waterishnesse were not able to breed
horses Of such a size"

HOTEL FIRES.
Made WaeH Nigh Impossible By Up to
Date Safeguards.

Made WAeH Nigh Impossible By Up to
Date Safeguards.
A f1reproof building will not burn,
but its contents may, although the
damage and extent of the blaze cannot
be great This is especially true Of ho-
tells, which are full Of infammable fur
niture and draperies, and therefore all
modern means of protection are pro-
fusely provided in the latest built struc-
lures. New York's 100000 Hotel AS
tor is an excellent example of the meth
DDS in these respects.
The building itself has a system of
walled In staircases and corridors d.
vided into sections by doors which in
case of fire can all be swung shut,
though not fastened, by merely turning
a crank In the Office. This prevents the
dreaded than flame not only because Of
the suffocation 1t carries with 1t, but
because of the panic it almost invaria-
bly, causes.
Every room has an automatic fire
detector in the ceiling, consisting of
thermostat and an ammonia dia-
phragm. Should the room catch fire
the ammonia boils at a temperature
Of 100 degrees, expanding the dia-
phragm and closing an electrical cir
cult which produces a red light In a
tiny bulb that marks the number Of
the room in the big annunciator down
stairs in the Office. The closing Of this
afraf1ff oil In a unnrfQl
elevator at the engine room used only
in case of fire.
When the gong sounds the drilled en-
CINE room employees rush to the ele-
vator. They carry with them extin-
guishers, axes and hooks and find hose
ready for use coupled to the standpipes
on every floor. The hose is looped over
reels and can thus be brought into
play in the quickest possible manner.
| Meanwhile bells are ringing in the
Railways and servants quarters on the
floor from which the alarm has been
given. Just as the engine room men
are trained to extinguish fires, so every
other employee La instructed In the
part ne OF sue Is 10 pay III III euok-
gency. The chambermaids, for IN
stance, stand near the stairways and
elevators to show guests the quickest
way out If they wish to leave the ho-
tel, and, besides, each Of them under
stands how to handle an extinguisher.
Fire drills are held every other week
in the Astor and are conducted by an
expert. By this means discipline Is
maintained and the knowledge neces-
sary for handling the apparatus is fur
nished. 1t is very likely that the squad
may never be called upon to cope with
an actual fire, SO slight is the chance Of
one breaking out, but every employee
is always ready. What is done in this
New York hotel Is typical of the pre-
cautions taken in many other modern
buildings, SO that the danger Of seri-
Gus fire in them is practically over
come.

Stamp collectors are delighted when
they secure specimen which was is
sued before some mistake in printing
was detected. During the Buffalo ex-
position the government issued stamp
to commemorate the occasion which de-
picted the Empire express train. A
practical joker cut out the central part
Of one Of the stamps which contained
the train and carefully replaced it SO
that the train was In an upside down
position. This he pasted on an envelope
and mailed 1t to a friend who was a
rabid collector.
The practiced eye of the stamp fiend
at once discovered the misplaced posi-
ton Of the train, but did not notice the
deception, and the collector was almost
wild with joy until he offered it for
sale, when he was informed that II
was not a rare but a "cut OUT
stamp he preserved.-New York Press.

"Quick lunch" is one of the commonest
of city signs. The sign doesn't say a
healthy lunch of good food-the character
of the food apparently is not considered.
It's just quick lunch,-eat and get away.
Is it any wonder that the stomach breaks
DOWN. Food is thrown at it, sloppy, in
digestible and innutritious food, very Of
ten, the stomach has to do the best it
can. Normally there should be no need
for medical assistance for the stomach
But the average method of life is abnor-
NAL and while this continues there will
always be demand for DR.. Pieree's Col
den Medical Discovery. 1t is the one
medicine which can be relied on to cure
diseases of the stomach and other organs
of digestion and nutrition. 1t is not a
cure-all. 1t is a medicine designed for
the stomach, and to cure through the
stomach remote diseases which have their
cause in the arrangement of the stomach
and digestive and nutritive system. It
cures when all else fails.

COMMENTING on the action of County
Auditor Worrell in holding up printing
bills the Herald says There is misun.
Outstanding between Auditor Worrell, the
Board of Freeholders, THE NEWS and
the Mirror over the matter" This is not
exactly correct There is no misunder-
standing so far as THE News is concern
ed. This paper was legally designated co
publish the report of the County Collector
as provided by the law which says paper
shall be designated yearly for that pur-
pose. THE News was named at the
morning session of the Board of Freehold
ers in May. After dinner another paper
was added to the list. The present situa-
tion is caused by question as to the in
tent of the law, the contention being that
the real meaning is that at least one paper
must be designated and after that is com
piled with as many more may be named as
the Board desires. This may be so but
we doubt it. At the time the law in
question was passed every paper in the
county was publishing the report and the
first effort to make change was meas
ure to limit the publication to pamphlets.
A settlement was effected by passing the
law in force. 1t went into effect in 1898
and from that date until the present time
has been accepted as meaning what it
says. In 1908 when The News was not
successful in getting the printing propo-
sition was made that we have resolution
introduced putting an additional paper on
the list to be adopted with the understand
ing that THE News should be the addition
This was declined on the ground that the
action would not be legal. Perhaps this
idea was wrong but that was not our i'm
preston at the time nor is it the impres-
sion now. We believe that only one
paper can legally do the printing, and we
are perfectly willing to take chances in

securing the requisite number of votes
whenever we can with decency ask for
support on that line. The Auditor does
not intend to pay any bill until he is per-
fectly satisfied what his legal standing is.
In this position THE News sustains him,
notwithstanding the fact that it has nc
doubt about its right to the money in
controversy.
