A POTTERY TOWN..
Chingtechen Is Unlike Any 9th
Place In China.

Chingtechen Is Unlike Any Other
Place In China.
For at least 900 years the town
Chingtechen, In China, has been devot-
ed to the making of pottery. Every
thing in Chingtechen belongs to the
porcelain and earthenware industry.
The houses are for the most part built
Of fragments either of old kilns or of
the fire clay covers in which the porce-
lain is stacked during firing. The riv-
er bank is for miles covered with a
deep stratum of broken chinaware and
chips Of fire clay, and the greater part
Of the town and several square miles
Of the surrounding country are built
over or composed Of a similar deposit.
Chingtechen is unlike anything else
In China. The forms, the color, the
materials used in the buildings. the at
mospnere, ere reminiscent Of the poorer
parts Of a civilized industrial center.
There are 104 large pottery kilns In
the town. The greater part are in use
only for a short season in the summer.
During this busy season the population
of Chingtechen rises to about 100000
souls, but of this total nearly half are
laborers drawn from a wide area Of
country, who come for the season, live
in rows Of barracklike sheds and do
not bring their families with them.
Visitors to Chlngtechen pass along
street after street where every shop is
occupied by men, women and children.

Planning Coal Trust Suit.

Legal proceedings against the presi-
dents of the anthracite coal roads for
maintaining a combination in restraint
of trade, it is said by independent coal
operators may be expected before the
end of the month. 1t is declared that
there will be no difficulty in proving a
conspiracy to put up prices and that Of
fetal records, readily available, will
constitute the basis forthe proceedings.
'"The Coal Trust is amenable to the
same law as the Ice Trust" said in an
independent operator June Both. can
enormous number of people are affect
ed by its eXactions and the evidence
that cal be produced is clear and posi-
tive. What could be more arbitrary,
for instance, than the order which has
gone into effect that none of the people
of the anthracite region shall be allow
ed the benefit of the spring reductionin
the price of coal? Figures will be pro-
duced to show that the Trust is exact
ing in our large cities more than 50 a
ton than the cost and haulage of coal,
as estimated by Government experts"

Crop Report,

From the New Jersey Board of Agri-
culture crop bulletin is the following sent
by George H. Kirby, of Woodstown, on
June Goth:
"a general rain on the 18th and IS has
given the pasture and grass lands a thor
ough soaking, which was much needed.
The hay will yield about one-half crop
Some moving machines are running to-
day, as the clover has made all that it
will. Wheat will be an average crop, aItho
the.straw is not as long as usual Early pot
atoes are looking well ;the stand is good
and with the recent rains a good crop may
be expected. Corn is Of good color and a
good stand, but a Little under size for this
season OF the year. The acreage of tomat-
oes Tor canning purposes is unusually large
and the stand generally good. The crop
OF cherries is very good, and the outlook
for apples, peaches and other other fruits
favorable for an average crop. Dairy
COWS are doing as well as usal; more colts
are to be seen in Salem county this Spring
than any one season for ten years past.

NAVAL DISCIPLINE.
Punishments That Are Melted Out to
British Sailors.

Punishments That Are Melted Out to
British Sailors.
For infraction Of regulations some
curious punishments are melted out in
the English navy. 1t is an everyday
occurrence, says London Tit-Bits, to
see half a dozen sailors lined up on
deck facing the paint work, holding
their hammocks IN their shoulders. At
first the hammock isn't heavy, but aft
er an hour Dr. SO it drags on ones shout
ders like lead. Besides, 1t is not at all
entertaining to stare fxedly at a square
foot of painted woodwork for an hour
or more at a time.
Another punishment that Jack de-
spises is bailing with a spoon. He is
placed upon the deck, with two large
wooden buckets, one filed with water
and the other empty. With a spoon he
must dip all the water from one buck
ct and transfer it to the other, being,
meanwhile, the butt of his comrades
jests and jeers.
Sometimes a delinquent is made to
walk slowly backward and forward
along tne deck, nursing In his arms a
six inch projectile, weighing a little
owe 100 pounds. Once a sailor, who
laughed at the stammering speech Of
his commander, was made to stand up
on the forebridge, In full view Of the
ships crew, and laugh for an hour and
a half.
Splitting upon the deck Of a man-of-
war is strictly prohibited. Cuspidors
are placed at intervals along the deck,
and these must be used. Upon some
ships, when a sailor is caught splitting
upon the deck, a small tub is strapped
to his chest, and he is made to wear it.
Any n who chooses may use this
walking receptacle. The offender thus
punished rarely repeats his offense.

Roosevelt Inconsistent.

Senator Tillman called up the con-
ference report on the Railroad Rates
bill last Friday and renewed his attack
upon the pipe line amendment-a being
IN the interest of the Standard Oil Co.
About the time the Allison amend
ments were incubating " he said, "there
was a great furore about the Garfield
report on the Standard Oil Co. and we
were told that the exposures of its
crimes would help the vote O II the Rates
bill, and under the cover of this dust
the President retired from his advanced
position on railroad legislation and &C.
cepted the Allison provision. There
the big stick and the pitchfork, which
had been in alliance, found themselves
separated and the pitchfork, while do
ing duty on the firing line, looked
around only to see the tail of it's assoc
late hustling towards the rear-sliding
towards the Allison base, to use a base
ball phrase. The big stick was rush
ing i n on all fours to get between Faith
er Allison's legs"
He had no fault to find, he added.
except that he considered the fact that
b President had been inconsistent in
not coming to the assistance of the
Senate conferees. He considered it ga
little remarkable that just when he
might do something to thwart the pol
ICY OF this gigantic monopoly he is as
mum as a mouse, except that there is
now another hurrah about what the
President is going to do to the Stand
ard Oil in the way of suits" He add
ed that, Notwithstanding the prosecu-
ton has been decided upon, we are
carefully told in advance that the high
officials, such as Rockefeller, Rogers
n Archbold, are not to be molested.

Maund and Maunder.

Neither maund, a basket, nor maun-
der, to whine or grumble, is obsolete.
Both are still in common use in South
Motifs and Leicestershire, at any rate.
The former is used only, however, of
a particular kind Of basket, used for
carrying butter to market. The basket
is nearly square In shape and has two
lids opening from the middle part,
where the handle is, and it is called
the "butter mawn" (maund). Maunder
is usually heard in such sentences as
what are you Numbering att" A
Northumbrian will say, Hes a maun-
derfng old fool" when the man Of
whom he is speaking strings words to-
gether in a senseless sort Of way some

Appropriations of public moneys by
the Fifty ninth Congress, which will
come to a close next March, bids fair
to be far in excess of those of ony other
Congress in the history of the nation,
and, based upon the amounts authorized
at the first session, nov approaching a
close, the total figures will reach very
nearly 50 1000, 900, 900 for the two years.
1t has been estimated that the appro-
priations to be made at this first session
will be 5000, DOC, 900. This is, in round
figures, $50, O00, 600 in exces of any ap-
preparations made at a single session of
Congress since the session of 1899, the
year following the Spanish war. 1t is
$119, 900, 900 more than was appropriate
Ell at the first session of the Fifty eighth
Congress. 1t is $175, 000, 900 in excess of
the estimates made by the different de-
partments for a fiscal year ending June
80, 1907.
When Thomas B. Reed was Speaker
Of the Fifty-frst Congress, only fifteen
years ago, there was a great cutlery be-
cause the appropriations for two years
had reached the total of 81 ,023, 1872, 265.-
80. The criticism was that it was a
''billion dollar Congress-" Mr.. Reed
replied that this was "a billion dollar
country" But it was not until eight
years later that the appropriations eX-
ceeded that figure for any two years,
when, in the Fifty fifth Congress, which
had much to do with paying for the
Spanish War, they reached the enorm-
our total of 81, 553, DOC, 900.
The whole tendency of legislation at
the present session has been in the direc-
ton of correcting abuses by the applica-
ton Of Federal inspection, Federal regu-
lation of Federal investigation. Where
the Federal Government steps in and
performs duties heretofore performed
by State governments and municipalities
the Federal Government has to pay.
The inspection of meat alone will cost
$4,000, 900, where it formerly cost less
than $500, 000, The new building being
constructed by the Senate and House at
a cost of probably $12 000,0 900 require
large appropriations each year,
An example of the way expenditures
are growing is shown by the sundry civil
bill. This measure last year provided
an expenditure of $68, 1913 900. This
year, as it passed the Senate, it provides
for an expenditure of $102, DOC, 900.
The public building bill, which is yet
to come, is understood to carry appropri-
ations of more than $40, 600, 600.

The nomination of Lewis Emery, Jr.,
for Governor by the Democrats of
Pennsylvania shows that the party is
truly in line for reform. MI. Emery
who has been an Independent Republi-
can and fought the Republican machine
and the Standard Oil influence for
twenty-five years is the nominee of the
Lincoln Party. The influences which
first nominated Mr.. Emery as an anti
machine candidate helped to elect
Robert E. PattIson twice Governor and
helped elect William II. Berry state
treasurer last fall. The support the
Democrats will give Mr.. Emery this
year is a BETTING complimentinreturn.

Congress adjourned last Saturday.
Two of the important laws made were
the Hepburn bill to regulate the rail
road rates so as to prohibit discrimina-
ton and the pure food bill which re-
quires meats for domestic consumption
to be inspected. While they may not
be all that some desire in the way of
legislation, yet they are a step in the
right direction.

1t was sardonic fate surely that sent
Senator dupont, head of the so-called
powder trust, to the United States Sen
ate in time to see favorably reported out
OF committee a measure appropriating
among other things $165, 900 for the
erection of a government powder fact
DRY. This federal powder mill was rem
dered necessary because of the exorbi.
tant charges for powder made by the
trust, and a strong lobby failed to keep
the appropriation out of the fortifica-
lions bill. The coming out of the bill
and the coming-in of Senator DUPONT
were almost simultaneous.

1t Is a popular idea that the ermine
sheds its brown summer coat and that
on the approach Of winter a covering
Of snowy white fur takes its place.
This was a natural conclusion, as a
possibility of a change in the color Of
the fur had not occurred to scientists.
Experiments, however, have been
made, and the brown coated ermine
has been placed in a very low tempera-
ture. Almost Immediately a change
was visible in the color Of the fur, and
without shedding the creature became
snowy white.

Threats,

I consider it a mark Of great pru-

desire to revenge himself.-Machiavelli.

If New Jersey was not Steel Trust
clad such a suit might be and should be
brought against the Fire Insurance
Trust. Within the last ten years all
the Fire Insurance Companies have
combined and in some cases raised the
rates 100 per cent. They send one man
around to set the rates on all properties
in a town. Every insurance agent
must insure at that rate. All business
is sent thru one man at the county seat
who sees that the trust rates are charg-
ed. If they are not, off goes the head
OF the Insurance Agent. That is n
OF the greatest Trusts all men who w

Ice Trust Men Imprisoned

The courts are getting after the trusts
in the right way in Ohio. In Toledo
the Ice manufacturers formed a COM
bine and took advantage of the people
by advancing the price of ice beyond a
reasonable price. Suit was brought
against some of the leading men who
wished to get rich off the peoples neces-
stiles and the court has sentenced four
of them to pay a fine of $1,000 each
and to undergo a years Imprisonment.
The committing of these men to jail
had a wholesome effect as the local
price of ice which was increased Is to
100 per cent. by the combine has drop
ped from 80 to 40 per cent.
