FREEDOM-THAT'S THE ISSUE.

The following editorial in the Ho-
boken Observer on the issues in the
political campaign this fall is of par
ticular interest in MiddleseX county:
What shall the political issues be
in the legislative elections in New
Jersey this year, and who will make
them?" asks the Newark Advertiser,
pointing to the equal tax, limited
franchise and many other unques-
tionably good laws which were pass
ed this year at Trenton. what it
adds, lean the democratic party of
fer against this record?'
Such a question is premature. Par
ty primaries must be held first, in
September. There is no question as
to what will be the issue then, partic-
ularly in Hudson and in Essex.
~Anti-bossism will o%yershadow ev-
erything else. About 100000 of the
100000 people of the state have
been given a taste of freedom; the
sensation is pleasing to their p%alates
and their stomachs call for more.
Essex has had rather the better of
the feast. There the bosses are down,
and we should think that the burning
question ought TO be how to keep
them down" That will be the rally
ing cry of the Colby hosts.
But in Hudson the job is only be-
CUR. Our bosses are still in the sad
die. Since their non-partisan conspir-
acy last fall to seize the government
OF Jersey City in the interests of the
corporations and to suppress the de
mand for some of the excellent laws
that Governor Stokes helped us to
force through the legislature, failed,
they have carried on a series of ae-
gressions that has exasperated every
body.
One political organization was
theirs absolutely. They managed to
retain the control Of the other with
fraudulent enrolment lists at dishon-
est primaries by unseating elected
committeeman and putting in their
places their own creatures.
They completed this work Friday
night by selling the West Hudson Re
publican Committee where they had
been beaten in their own primaries
by independent Republicans.
Every man who would not obey
their orders has been either indicted
On annoyed in ore way or another. In

Immigrants are arriving in this
country so fast they cannot be taken
care of. Although the immigrant
authorities at Ellis Island can handle
5000 a day, there are now 1900
immigrants on shipboard in New
York harbor awaiting their turn to
land. Such a situation places a seri-
GUS proposition before this country.

Attorney General McCarter should
resign. He was so indiscreet rs to
appear at Freehold a few weeks ago
as attorney for Francis in the shriey-
atty fight, but, upon being criticised
on the ground that he might be called
upon to take action in the matter lat
er, he took the next train home. The
criticism was not misplaced. The
governor found himself facing a le-
gal problem Monday and he natural
ly called upon the attorney general
for advice. He should have had a
man absolutely unbiased to give him
an opinion. Instead. he had a man
who had already had a finger in the
pie as counsel for one of the parties
concerned. This mans advice to the
governor was correctly anticipated
before it was given. The people want
a more Independent lawyer for the
states attorney. This is not the first
time Mr.. McCarter has been placed in
a bad light before the people he is
supposed to serve. 1t is time for u
change.

FINEST BANK NOTE PAPER.
where the Material For Our Green
backs IL Made,

The national flag flies over the gov
eminent MILL" owned by the Crane
family at Dalton. Mass. because all
the paper for the United States green
backs is made there 1t is one of Il
group of mills in which the Cranes
have made paper for more than a cen
tury. The founder was Ienas Crane
Before he could get the first mill start
ed he had to have Il large quantity of
rags. Hut rags We're scarcer il those
days than now. The Italian had not
then arrived, the junk shop was ur-
known, and, although the rag buyer
passed through the streets of Boston
once week, he had not yet appeared
in the western part of the state This
resulted in an appeal to the people.
I based on high economic and patriotic
grounds. Handbills appeared with the
headlines in large type: "Amereans,
encourage your own manufactures,
| and they will improve! Ladies, save
your ragsr'
They were carried to all the homes
and shops in Berkshire and adjoining
counties, urging every woman who
has the good of her country and the
interests of her family at heart to
save her rags and send them to the
new factory or to the nearest store
keeper, land a generous price will be
paid" When the mill was ready the
rags were there in abundance, and op-
erations at once commenced. The
working force consisted of four men,
two girls and small boy with Zenas
Crane as superintendent and chief pro-
prietor The paper was made in hand
molds, and the output was 100 pounds
day. Today the output is many
tons of the finest bank note paper

tanned BY KINDNESS.
The Methods of the Elephant Hunter
In the Far East.

In the Far East.
This is how elephants are hunted in
Ceylon: The people begin by clearing
an open space near a forest, part of
which is strongly fenced in with trunks
of trees, with open places for doors.
Then the elephants are found and with
blazing torches, rafting of noisy in
struments and spears are driven to-
ward the open doors.
At last, with a rush, the great herd
enters, the entrances are barred and
the poor giants of the wood find them
selves hopelessly imprisoned. An ele-
plants rage is dreadful to witness, but
the ingenuity Of man has found a way,
of subduing it. One by one each pris-
oner is freed again, and tame ele-
plants, remarkable for their sagacity,
come up to him, stroke him with their
trunks and otherwise cajole him until
they lead him on to good strong tree.
The natives creep up behind, and in
minute the elephant is made fast to the
tree by his leg
All the time this Is going on the tame
elephants are humoring their deluded
victim. but as soon as he Is secured
they go away and leave him. Then
the men bring him cocoanuts and
leaves to eat. which, of course. he re-
fuses as he is again in a great passion
and struggling to he free.
But hunger suhdues even the fiercest.
and at last his wild roaring ceases. and
he eats. From that time the tanning
process is comparatively easy. Again
and again he is fed as he requires it,
by kind hand, and the elephant, sus-
ceptihle to Kindness, becomes at last
docile servant of the man.

MAKING A CHEF.
II Takes Many Years of Hard Work
and Training.

"When you reflect upon what a chef
goes through to complete his education
ii is no wonder that his services COM
mand high prices" said the culinary
king of "A restaurant.
THE chef" he continued. "begins as
a boy. as apprentice to a master. For
several years he works under the veg
etable cook. He learns how to make
mashed potatoes that look like white
roses, how to cook and to arrange all
the vegetables, from the trufiles down.
IN hundred fine and beautiful ways
He gets no salary. He gets only his
board.
Then for a year he studies raw
meats. He learns how to select them
and how to cut them up He can tell
at a glasce. for instance, the genuine
salt meadow mutton from the false.
Along with this raw meat course goes
also study of fish and of game and
of poultry-how to stuff, dress, lard,
truss, and SO on.
Next, for a year, at small salary,
he stands before the range. learning
how to broil, fry, roast and bake.
HE now knows the foundation of
his art and is admitted into the pres
ence Of the chef himself-only assist
ants have taught him so far The chef
teaches him to make soups. pastries,
ices and the more complicated pud-
dings and soufflees. Three or four
years is none too long a time to study
here.
Ten years of hard work should turn
a quick apprentice into good chef.
Such chef without difficulty earns
from $25 a week up to $50. If he
gave half as much time to the bar, the
church or medicine he would earn
thrice as much. New York Press.

ANCIENT BELLS.
Well known to the Egyptians Before
the Jewish Exodus.

Bells were well known to the Egyp-
tians before the time of the Jewish ex-
odus. In the description of Aaron's
sacerdotal robe mention is made of the
fact that upon the hem of the garment
there were bells of gold alternating
with pomegranates of blue, of purple
and of scarlet "a golden bell and a
pomegranate. "A golden bell and pome-
granate upon the hem of the robe
round about And it shall be upon
Aaron to minister, and his sound shall
be heard when he goeth into the holy
place before the Lord and when he
cometh out, that he die not"
Hand bells were in common use all
over the ancient world The earliest
use of bells in churches was for the
purpose of frightening away the evil
spirits which were believed to infest
earth and air. and the earliest curfew
was rung at nightfall to rid the neigh
borhood of the village or town and
church of demons. Most old churches
of Europe have a small door on the
north side. and at certain points In the
service this door was opened and a
bell was rung to give notice to the dew

Artificial Birds.

In very early times men began to
experiment with a view to making
artificial birds and animals that would
initiate the motions of living creatures,
and if we are to believe the records,
some of the artists in that line were
remarkably successful.
Archytas of Tarentum, who lived
in the year 400 B. c., constructed an
artificial pigeon that could fly, but
which was not able to resume its fight
after once alighting.
John Muller, German of great me-
chanical skill, constructed an artificial
eagle, which on the entry of Emperor
Macmillan into Nuremberg flew out
to meet him, and, returning, alighted
on the city gate to await his approach.

A DRAMATIC ARTIST.
The winning ways of the Man Dress
maker of Paris.

The dressmaker is a slim young man
with a long nose and big, winsome
eyes. Wearing gray frock coat and
patent leather shoes, corseted and pow
dered and perfumed, he is more than a
man; he is Il dressmaker. He is sat
urated with dandyism. 1t is not of an
offensive kind. His manners are a
strange mixture o. humility and in
science, for he is al once salesman
and an artist And he talks, talks,
talks, bending his slim body into polite
curves, gesticulating with his thin
white hands rolling his eyes in their
painted orbits, the while he fumbles
silks and velvets and satins and lace
and wool.
The mere man who comes into a
dressmakers shop of an afternoon-in
Paris no one goes to the dressmaker's
save only in the afternoon-begns by
sneering at this fantastic creature.
That mood does not last long Con
tempt gives way to admiration. There
is something marvellous in the way this
lord of lace and ribbon dominates the
women, the royal highness as well as
the spoiled actress. He is charming; he
is frivolous. Then of Il sudden his
face darkens, he becomes serious, he
stares at her royal highness. studying
her form from head to foot: he smites
his brow and cries despairingly: mo,
no! can't see you in that gown-to-
day | can't see you in any gown-I
will study-an inspiration will come
you must wait" And royalty goes
away fattered, she knows not why

THE WIND BELL,
How II II Constructed In Japan, It's
Original Home.


The wind bell, as its name implies,
is made to ring by the action of the
wind-in fact, the wind bell is not
bell at all, strictly speaking, but a con-
trivance composed of number of
pendants suspended in circle from a
ring and hung close together so that
they will come into contact and pro-
duce sounds when swayed by the
winds.
Some wind bells produce sounds that
are pleasing and musical. Some are
made with glass pendants, some with
pendants of metal; some are very
small and simple in construction, 9th
ers are large and massive and elabo-
rate.
The original home of the wind bell is
Japan. In it's simplest form it is COM
posed of number of narrow strips of
glass, perhaps six inches in length
suspended lengthwise from wire
ring about two inches in diameter
Within the circle formed by the strips
thus suspended is hung by one corner
a little square piece of glass halfway
down the length of the long strips. the
strips and the square piece ornament
ed with various japanese characters
and designs. This wind bell may be
hung up wherever breeze will strike
it and blow the strips into contact with
one another and with the square sus-
pended among them.-Detrot News
Tribune.
