the neck was adjudged temporarily

State Hospital at Trenton for treat
ment. The physicians before commit

Pemberton, Mrs. Penlberton, Cecil
Pemberton and the young woman her
self. Miss Pemberton told how she
had planned to take her fathers life
and then end her own. She said that
she had made will and that it would
be found with two letters on the
beach, where she had partly I'M
dressed that night and entered the
surf, but was prevented from drown
ing herself by vision of her mother
in the waves. The letters, which were
given to Dir. Pemberton, were merely
reiteration of paragraphs. She warned
her brother of her father that he might
hypnotic him, and urged him to stand
by his mother in all her interests. 10
her mother she told of making a will
bequeathing her personal PROPERTY.

daughter to be careful of her health,

wanted to die The brother, Cecil, told

The glory of the farmer is that in
the division of labors it is his part to
create. All trade rests at last upon
his primitive activity. He stands close
ito nature; he obtains from the earth
the bread and the meat, ayows Ralph
Waldo Emerson. The food which was
not he causes to be. The first farmer
was the first man, and all historic no
bility rests ON possession and use of
land. Men do not like hard work, but
every man has an exceptional respect
for tillage and feeling that this is
the original calling of his race; that he
himself is only excused from it by
some circumstance which made him
delegate it for time to other hands.
If we have not some product for which
the farmer will give his corn, he must
himself return unto his due place
among the planters. And the profes
sion has in all eyes its ancient charm,
as standing nearest to God. the first
cause.

SO much stress has been laid, and
rightly laid, upon education as one OF
the causes of Japan's advance and of
her success in the struggle with Rus
STA that it is interesting 20 observe the
policy Of her Government concerning
education during the war. 1t was
necessary to cut down to the lowest
possible limit expenditures for many
public purposes. For education, how
ever, the appropriations were largely
Increased. continues the New York
Tribune. Thus in 1S93-94 the national
appropriation for education was only
ST 1886, 000 while in 1904-05 it was more
than $7,OO0,O00 That, of course, is
only a small part of the school budget.
The appropriations by districts, which
were $1O,TO0,OOO in 1S93-94, increased
in 1904-U5 to nearly $45,000000. Even
this is mere fraction OF the whole,
for in the year last named the cities,
towns and villages expended upon edu-
cation more than $170,0OO,O0O. SO that
the school bill Ct the whole nation was
more than $222. O0O.O Oo-a most gener-
Gus allowance for such country at
such time.

Reports from various parts of the
State show that the recent cold snap
has played havoc in the agricultural
and horticultural districts. The peach
crop seems practically ruined, and
grass and winter wheat undoubtedly
have suffered severely. It is expected
the shortage in meadow and pasture
grass resulting from present untoward
conditions will be serious handicap
in the summer and fall to the dairy
and stock raising interests. Had it not
been for the absence of snow, which
usually protects the roots and stunted
blades from the midwinter cold, the
damage would have been much less Sc
we're. The long period of mild weather,
too. has lured the growing things into
semi-actiyity. which has been arrested
rudely by the hand of Jack Frost.

HICKS FOR OCTOBER.

A reactionsry storm period is in prog
ress at the opening of October. Earth's
autumnsl equinox covers up to about the
goth; Venus period is central on the 18th
and covers the whole of the month Mer-
curry period reaches 10 the 10th and the
regular Vulcan period is in force from
the End to 7tb. The full moon falls on
the 2nd, being on ne celestisl equator one
the same day.
The regular storm period chs"tered
from the End to the 9TH will take up the
disturbs noes aud renew and prolong them
during the frat week of the month. The
End is the central day of probable
seismic period, extending 2 to 3 days be-
fore and after that date. Look for rush
ing high barometer, northwesterly gales
md change to unseasonably cold.
A reactionary storm period is central
on the 10th, 1lth and 18th. Look at this
time for retu n of storm conditions.
The Venus influence all through this
part of October will be to extreme of
temperature with storms from vicious
lightning and thunder to sudden change
into almost winter storms and tempera-
ture.
A regular storm period covers the
10Th to goth, having new moon at lis
center on the 18th. In all probability
this will prove one of the most severe
to dangerous storm periods of this
month, if not the whole autumn. Frost
will work into central to southern re-
gions from the 18th to the 22d or dates
touching. The 18th j. the center of
another seismic period, extending from
the 18th to the 10th. This is most
probable time when some more earth
quake "faults" will conclude to "'let
up"
A 'ctionary storm period is central
on the 23d to 25th, at which time
change to warmer, with cloudiness and
more rain may be expected.
A regular storm period covers the last
five days of the month, embracing the
second full moon in October on the 3lst
and moon on the eIuator on the 29th.
During the 2Sth to 3lst wide stretches
of cloudiness, rain and snow will pass
across the whole country from west to
east. The elimination Of these storms
will probably center on the 3lst, on
or before which date an early cold wave,
with decided dashes of autumnal snow
and gales, will be well on their sweep
from the northwest.
