One of the oldest stories in the "Bes-
taries,' or stories of Bible animals
written by the monks is the legend of
the panther. The panther" 50 the
homily runs, is the most beautiful Of
all beasts More than this, when 1t
goes abroad it diffuses marvellous
sweet perfume. This odor Is SO sweet
that all the other beasts and birds fol-
low the panther wherever 1t goes.
Wherefore the panther Is a type of yir-
tue" Perhaps the old monks who Dor
rowed and embellished this story had
heard of and misunderstood the strong
love OF sweet scents which the panther
ards. often show.-London Spectator.

Sounds of music coming from the
cemetery in the middle OF the night
terrified the inhabitants Of the Swiss
village of Bregenz. near the Austrian
frontier Two gendarmes hid them
selves one night behind tombstone in
order to investigate. They saw young
tradesman climb over the cemetery
wall, pull violin from under his coat
and. standing over newly made
grave, begin 10 play the Bohemian
Girl" They listened to the end and
then went up to the man, who said he
had been playing over the tomb of bis
bride. who bad died the week before
at was the piece she liked best" he
said to the gendarmes, who led him

The free and easy manners Of the
political and literary friends with
whom Burke associated are exhibited
by a personal anecdote He often ask
ed his friends to sup on beefsteak or
leg of mutton. One night the house
sat late. and Burke brought home to
supper Fox and two or three more Of
the Wing politicians Mrs. Burkes
face told of the Ill provided larder.
Surely said the host. answering his
wife's look of annoyance. there's beef
enough"
Fox and another gentleman, seeing
the state Of affairs, hurried off to Il
tavern. where they obtained such
dishes as could be purchased. Amid
much laughter. they returned and set
the table with the food they had for
aged Burke called them the most
skilful of walters, and there was an
amusing, satisfactory supper.

Meals and weight

1t has been seriously asserted by
many people that we are naturally
lighter after meal. and they have
even gone the length of explaining this
by the amount of gas that Is developed
from the food. Average observations.
however, show that we lose pounds 8
ounces between night and morning;
that we gain l pound y ounces by
breakfast; that we again lose about IA
ounces before lunch; that lunch puts
on an average Of a pound; that we

The nre.r of the nlghlnnder..

The highland dress, without a RI
val in picturesqueness, unique in its
longevity and remarkable for the man
ner in which 1t has been employed to
distinguish the different families or
clans of one race, appears to be sur
vival of the ordinary Roman dress and
a relic of Caesars invasion of Britain
From the time when it was first adopt
ed and while fashion has been busy
with changes in other parts of the
world the costume seems to have I'M
dergone little modification. That this
dress should have been selected and
adhered to as the national garb is due
to its undeniable utility. Wrapped In
his plaid, the highlander was indiffer-
ent alike to soaking mist and violent
storm; he was prepared to pass the
night in defiance of the most inclement
weather, while the loose undergarment
would have been difficult to improve
upon when wading mountain torrents
or climbing the steep sides of rayine
and glen.

Lincoln and Hay.

From a somewhat careful study Of
the literary characteristics Of Abraham
Lincoln and John Hay, as we'll rs Of
their respective natural dispositions,
Leslie's Weekly ls led to remark the
likeness between these two celebrated
men. A"y were both humorously in
clined, Lincoln In his somewhat homely
way. Hay IN his more cultured style.
Each was able to clothe his ideas-al
ways notably permeated with charity
In clear. simple logical English. On
special occasions each rose to heights
OF classical expression in voicing great
thoughts. One may almost conclude
that Hay was the perfected type OF
Lincolns cruder personality and that
as a disciple Of his great leader. with
whom he WAS so closely associated in
his younger formative days, he had
consciously or unconsciously imhibed
not only his masters style but his
spirit as well

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Costs Money to Raise Oysters.
A great many persons have the
idea that oyster gathering in this
state is a sort of natural graft,
that all the tongers have to do is &C
out on the oyster beds and dredge
up the bivalves, gathering a harvest
plentifully supplied by nature. A
different idea is conveyed by the an
nouncement of the Toms River Cour-
Ter that "Oyster planters at Tucker
ton and West Creek this spring will
put nearly or quite 500, 600 in Tuck
erton bay in the shape of Long Is
land sound oyster seed"
Time was when the natural beds
in the waters of New Jersey furnished
the "seed," or young oysters, for
transplanting, but failure of this sup
ply makes it necessary to go abroad
for seed oysters. The price is stead
lily increasing with the demand from
this and other states, and the prob
lem of getting a sufficient supply
gives Jersey oystermen cause for
worriment at times.
An expenditure of $1OO, 900 in
"seeding" the Tuckerton bay grounds
Indicates the large aggregate amount
expended every year by Jersey oy-
stermen to keep up the supply for
growth on grounds leased from the
state.
The oyster industry is one of the
most valuable in this state and its
preservation largely due to the state
policy of leasing and policing the
grounds.-Camden Post-Telegram.
Trenton Times:
1t is becoming quite manifest that
in order to drive the gamblers out of
New Jersey, a few of them must be
sent to state prison for long terms.
No sooner are they forced from one
county than they appear in another.
In Hudson, Essex, Monmouth, Middle
sex, Ocean and Mercer the authori-
ties have proceeded against them, but
they have always escaped with fines
and admonitions that they will be
sent to prison if caught again. The
last appearance of the gamblers was
at Atlantic City, during the automo-
bile races, and their games were car
ried on openly and defiantly, until a
complained that he had been
swindled out of 81, 2 Two arrests
we're made, but the prisoners were
released under $4,000 bail, which
was furnished by "a well known pol
itician." The chances are that they
will never appear for trial before
Justice Swayze, but will forfeit their
bail and still be considerably ahead
of the game. The incident has made
quite a stir In Atlantic City, where,
usually, everything goes"

THE REAL ISSUE.

But after all, this talk about violat-
ing the constitution on the part Of
Boss Strong or Mr.. Fordyoe is only
befogging the real issue. AS the
constitution specifically says civil
Office" Col. Fordyce did nothing
wrong in accepting a military posi-
fion while he was still in the legisla-
tpre. His wrong, in the eyes of the
boss, Is that he dared to appeal to the
people without first appealing to the
boss. For this the people think MI.
Fordyce is all right.
The issue in this campaign is boss
ism. Are the people of Middlesex
able to handle their own affairs or
must Dory Strong do it for them, to
suit himself? That is the question
for the people of Middlesex to an
swer. at the polls this fall. But first
of all. the republicans must answer
it at the primaries, when delegates
Will be sent to the county owen
ton to nominate who? Jackson, who
has been already nominated by the
boss and who has already proven
that he knows his masters voice, or
Fordyce, who appeals direct to the
people with no boss between to work
out his personal interests? The peo-
pie can rule If they only will. The
voters of MiddleseX are to be. given
the opportunity this year. 1t is for
them to say. Are you for a boss or

ENFORCING THE LAW.

It's the same old story. The state
constabulary is sent, to preserve order
in the Pennsylvania coal fields. The
strikers invokel a riot and the SOL
diers fire into the mob to enforce the
law. One is caught and arrested on
a charge of manslaughter. 1t is the
same way with the policemen. They
are armed with revolvers and sent
forth to patrol the streets at night.
They see a burglar escaping from a
house and they5ifire and perhaps
kill him. The officer is at once ar
rested and he is lucky If he escapes
with ten or fifteen years in prison. If
the burglar escapes, the officer is
condemned for not doing his duty
and he is asked what his revolver is
for.

law and the officers whose duty it is

were greeted by hooting, kissing and
jeering when they came from a hotel
in which they had been eating. They
were laughed at and scoffed at. Is
this the proper respect for the law of

the governments of Germany, Aus
tria or Italy would put up with such
conduct? Yet If these soldiers should
dare give the bowling mob it's deserts
they would have been condemned as
murderers. They were forced to en-
dure all of this insult and be sol

ly the low class Italians and Hungar-

think this is a free country, indeed,
