A Very Enjoyable and Peculiar
Coincidence

Mr.. and Mrs. Eadline. who are this
year running their Colonial cottage,
2O8 Spicer avenue, rendered very en-
joyable and somewhat unique birthday
party, it being strange coincidence
that Daniel Mast, of Philadelphia, and
Miss Marguerite Eadline, of Holly
Beach, should have birthdays falling
on the same day and both stopping at
the same place. The palatial dining
room was beautifully decorated in
green and natural flowers, the trim
mings being of pink. The party fol-
lowing, if they could each testify,
would unanimously vote the host and
hostess "jolly good fellows" Mr.. and
Mrs. J. G. Wall, Mr.. and Mrs. G. G.
Savage, Mr.. and Mrs. Mast, Mr.. and
Mrs. Mcclure, Mr.. and Mrs. Harvey,
Mr.. and Mrs. Garwood, Mr.. and Mrs.
Sparks, Mr.. Leathwhite, Miss Flor
ence Savage, Frank Boeckel, Miss Hell
en- Hughes, Miss Mcclure, Miss Mabel
Schwartz, Lloyd Eadline, Percy Ead-
line, Miss Marie Eadline, George Ead-
line and Miss Marguerite Eadline.
Among the prominent people they
have entertained this summer has
been c. ID. Tatman, general manager
of the Fairbanks Company of Phila-
delphia. The whole affair was an en-
tire surprise to Mr.. Mast, as he did not
in any way know or feel that there
would be anything done or said about
his birthday. and when he was ushered
into the parlor and dining room he
was too full for utterance.

LATEST NOVEL is
OF new JERSEY LIFE
Doc. Gordon" by Mary f.
Wilkins, TO be Published
Next Sunday

The best novel for the reader is the
novel that most nearly portrays the
people with whom the reader comes in
contact. David Harum pictured a
homely character and his friends in
such a way as to make every reader of
the book find in his own community a
counterpart of the great philosopher
and horse trader.
Mary E. Wilkins-Freeman, who has
for some years been known as the
author who drew true life portraits of
the characters of the New England
village. has found a new field for her
characters for which she has found in
southern New Jersey. Whether the
people of that section will enjoy her
pictures is yet TO be seen, but they will
surely enjoy the story itself-one of the
greatest mystery romances ever written.
The title of the novel is doc.
Gordon y and the first instalment will
be printed in the Sunday North Ameri-
can next Sunday, August 5. 1t will be
completed during the month of August
in the special fiction supplement of
that paper before it is allowed TO appear
in book form.
The demand for the Sunday North
American for August is already enor-
nous, and readers who would not miss
reading all of the Wilkins novel should
make themselves safe by ordering the
paper for the full month.

Hereditary FaiIinu.

At the Grand family dinner Major
General Frederick ID. Grant told this
story on himself; Il was booked to
speak at large dinner in town and
the POSTMASTER felt it incumbent
upon him to make nv path as smooth
as possible. He therefore spoke of
roy father and said that | strongly re-
sembled him. This had the desired
effect on the people present and they
gave me their best attention. Although
spoke as well as | could l felt that
every one was disappointed in me
and I sat down with relief when il
was over. The POSTMASTER rose and
smiled at me. Then he said to the
guests; Didn't tell you he was just
like his father. lie can't speak worth

SUICIDE USUALLY ON IMPULSE.
Seldom the Result of Reason or Long
PonderinQ.

pioneering,
Rather numerous instances of con-
tempt for the canon gainst self
slaughter" recently have appeared,
and the philosophers are seeking to
explain the reason" for this or that
particular case of suicide.
AS a matter of fact, nothing per-
haps is more clearly established than
that there is no reason in or for sui
eide. in the preponderating mass of
cases. This statement probably
ought to be amended so as TO read
that there is no reason for suicide
outside of the individual, for about
all the reason for self-destruction
usually is found in the condition of
the individual.
That suicide is prevalent conspicu-
ously among certain races, and dis
tinctively so among the Germanic peO-
pies, is evidence that the reason is
10 be found in the individual rather
than in environment.
A wise man said once that he had
known many suicides, but was ac-
quainted with few who could not or
would not have come back to terres-
trial existence if they had the choice,
since the conditions which they had
been unable to bear were of so short
life.

In the Matter of "Hlsh" Cheese.

A correspondent asks us to tell him
what is meant by high" cheese. The
high" cheese is so called from the al
titude of its odor-it smells to neav.
en-and its price. Also to distinguish
it from the domestic, or tame, cheese
of the United States. The high cheese
has never been domesticated, and per-
ishes in captivity. 1t has usually per.
ished a long time before it is served.
or that is the way it seems TO the un-
cultivated nose. High cheeses are i'm
ported-there is not room enough in
the United States for a high cheese
factory. as we prefer population. We
have soap factories and skunk farms,
but these are as the odors from the
spice groves of far Cathay as COM
pared with a high cheese factory

A CURE FOR DEBILITY
Or. Williams Pink Pills A RellebIs
Remedy for the Weak, Aiiina
and BIoodIess.

When the body is weak and the blood
thin it is sometimes difficult to find thu
cause unless a wasting illness has pre-.
coded, or the sufferer happens to be a
girl on the verge of wonanhood.
Obscure Influences, something IN.
heulthful i'll ones surroundings or work,
may lead to slow impoverishment OF
the blood and mn enfeeblement Of the
whole body. When Il serious stage has
been reached there seems To DO nothing
that will account for it.
Mr.. Q. Il. Legg, OF Upton, w. Va.
has found II successful method of treat
ing weakness and bloodlessness. Hs
says:
Il used Dr. Williams Pink Pills for
weakness caused by q lingering malarial
fever that began in the spring of 1895.
The worst effects of this were indiges.

LOOKED LIKE GIANTS TO JAPs.
Little Men Astonished at Size Of
American Clergymen.

Bishop McVickar of Rhode Island. a
man OF great physical proportions,
once visited Japan with DR.. Phillips
Brooks, who fell but little behind him
in height and breadth. To the diminu-
tive Japs the two stalwart American
clergymen were sources of unending
wonder. I'VE did not mind ordinary
tributes to our size, says the bishop,
but the wonder which the size of our
feet ELECTED was hardly fattering. In
entering "a japanese house you are
supposed to leave your shoes outside,
and never did DR.. Brooks and come
out but we found an admiring and
wondering crowd either measuring our
shoes or gazing upon them in admira-
ton. They were pretty stable shoes,
