THE ROBIN AS A RUNNER.
Question of Curious Subscriber An
swered by the Obliging
Editor.

81 saw a freak in birdology as | was
coming from my house to my office,
and called the attention of two others
to ii who were standing near by.
There We're several robins running
about in the yard adjoining my lot,
and among them was II with a white
head and neck. viii the president of
the Audubon society please tell us how
to account for it,"
Pending MIR. Parsons explanation,
says the Charlotte News and Observer,
we would suggest that a robin never
runs, since he can use one leg only
spontaneously with the other, and both
have to go the same way at once. 1t Is
a funny thing about a robins legs, but
they are dependent to a degree. Per
haps the robin ran because he was
white-headed. Now. why he is white
headed is another question. The prin-
ciple of the albion characteristics of
heads that once were black and now
are white has never been solved except
by those concerns which advertise to
make white heads black-and they
won't tell.
But if this robin has learned how to
run, he is the oldest in the flock GER
tainly. We put it down TO old age at
a hazard.

The PYTHIAN
SISTERHOOD.
Discussed Union with RathbOne
Sisters and Selected Officers
at Convention.

The New Jersey assembly of the
Pvthian Sisterhood does lot favor a
union with the Rathbone Sisters, a ri
val order. This was apparent at the
convention held recently. Some ia
vored such a union and some wanted
TO have men made members of the
"sisterhood. The general sentiment
was against it. Decisive action there
on can only be taken by the supreme
bodies of the two organizations.
Such Il union would necessitate a
new ritual and the obtaining OF new
initiation paraphernalia. Mrs. c. h.
Brown, of Jersey, was chosen as dele
gate to the supreme assembly at New
Orleans, and Mrs. Joseph Wilson, of
south Amboy, alternate.
The afternoon session, besides Civ
ing attention o the election Of Off
GERS for the ensuing year, gave con
siderable time to the consideration
of the question of the union.
Supreme Chancellor George NJ. Ad-
ans. of Haverhill, Mass, attended the
meeting and made an address in ia
vor of consolidation. The greater
part of the s|isterhood is not in favor
of the union.
There were also some guests pres
cnt TO give their idea OF the question,
among them Past Supreme Chancel-
lor Mrs. G. w. Bemis, of Massachu-
sets: Grand Chancellor of the State
of New York Mrs. c. e. l.. Gilmore;
Past Grand Chancellor of the State
of New York Mrs. e. NJ. ReahfielG
Grand Mistress of E%Xchequer Mrs. b.
Orback; Past Supreme Chapcellor
Mrs. G. l.. Van Wort, of Jersey City.
The election resulted in the choice
of these officers:
Grand Chancellor-Mrs. William
Woodward, South AmBoy.
Grand Vice Chancellor-Mrs. B.
Wilson, Jersey City.
Grand Prelate-LMrs. ]. Roberts,
Jersey City.
Grand MISTRESS of Exchequer-
Mrs. ]. Wilson, Jr., of South Amboy.
GrandJKeeper of Records and Seals
Mrs., James Allen, New Brunswick.
Grand Mistress of Arms-Mrs. G.
Smith, Sayreville.
Grand Assistant Mistress of Arms
Mrs. w. Leaman, Sayreville.
Grand Inside Guard-Miss C.
B%uckalew. South Amboy.
Grand outside Guard-Mrs. Clark
of South River.
The installation took place at the
evening session., and was conducted
by Supreme Chancellor Sister G. w.
Adams, Haverhill, Mass, assisted by
Past Supreme Chancellor Mrs. G. w.
Bemis, Haverhill, Mass; Past Su-
preme Chancellor Miss Emma Van
Wort, of Elizabeth; Sister Bessie
Stonehouse, South River; Sister
Brown, Jersey City; and Sister Van

JEWELRY.
THE DINING-ROOM

is used oftener than almost any other loom in
the house. That is why 1t should be msde
the most comfortable spot, and be p.easingly
arranged.
Without cut glass and silverware a dining
room makes little impression and is hardly
home like. A few pieces tastily arranged
will make better effect than many of them
placed Unfortunately.
A silver fern dish puts finish to the table
and livens up the room. silver set is need
ed to decorate the sidcboard. A few cut glass
pieces so srranged as 20 contrast with the tea
st will make the sideboard as it should be.
The cut glass required are decanters, berry
bowls and fruit dishes. The only other
silver piece that should be in evidence is the
candelabra.
fyou want your dining room TO be just so
have the bread trays and other trays Of silver.
Even the crumb tray anil scraper should be
silver plated.
The steel knives should have silver-platei
handles to match the silver-plat,d spoons,
knives and forks.
If you are not satisfied unless your dining
room is properly fitted, you are undoubtedly
particular about your own person. Ii is just
as well that you are. A little attention to
your ownself begets attention from others.
Wear diamond ring or two, lOcket, watch
and chain. AS the chain is more in evidence
thar the watch or the locket, you may as
well wear the best there is-the guaranteed
TX Gold Chain.
Let us fit out the dining-room as well as
yourself. Prices very reasonable.

In the presence of gathering in the

teen, announced 81 wss soiBg to COM
nit suicide. She then locked herself in
a room and cried: II am going to do it

aud a hslfof carbolic acid in view of men
aud women on the porch, and fell 20 the

ed: 81 did it for my sake and for his
sake. For Gods sake, save me-" She
died an hour later. Walter Kr0use, aged
twenty, Miss Allen sweetheart, says the
only resson he knows why she should
have taken her life is that he bit her on
the arm, and it made her angry. The
suicide was an orphan and exceptionally
pretty. Her stepfather, George Porter,
mysieriously disappeared shortly after
her mothers death, several years ago.
Mrs. Farrell, with whom Miss Allen lived,
