Snnithyi11e,

The bazaar and entertainment given by
the Ladies' Aid Society of the Methodist
Church, on Wednesday evening, reflected
much credit on the ability of the mem.
bers of the organization who had charge
of the affair.
One side of the opera house was de-
voted to booths most artistically arranged.
where numerous fancy articles, both USE
full and ornamental, were displayed. On
the opposite side of the hall were the tables
for refreshments. All the flowers seemed
to have blossomed forth in a wonderful
garden, each flower having roots contain
ing pleasant surprise for the purchaser.
The candy booth was well patronized
by the younger members.
A most enjoyable entertainment was
prepared for the occasion. Promptly at
$50 the curtain rose and the march of the
Chinese lanterns was gracefully given by
eight young ladies gowned in white with
picture hats of red
The color scheme of the stage was red
and white, while a maple graced the
centre, around which the fairy. like form
twined in and out. Their song especially
pleased the audience. Violin and piano
music were pleasing features of the en-
tertainment, and "Rastus and Eliza
caused much laughter and applause by
their quaint quotations.
The bazaar was great success, sur
passing expectations. and melted the
Ladies Aid the neat sum of SIS for their
treasury.

THE CULT OF SILENCE.

Fruest Intercourse Between COngen-
faI Spirits IL without Words.
Now, to keep ones freshness there
ought to be a zone Of silence around
every human being during some part
Of every day. 1t is significant that the
great religions Of the world have come
out of silence and not out of noise, and
the finest creative work is done, as q
rule, IN seclusion-not necessarily apart
from men nor in solitary places, but
away from the tumult and away from
distracting sounds.
1t is In silence alone that we come
into possession Of ourselves The noises
of life disturb US as cloud Of dust In
tervenes between the eye and the sky.
There ought to be cult for the prao-
tice Of silence-a body of men and
women committed to the preservation
Of the integrity of their souls by nei-
Their hearing nor making speech for
certain periods, pledged to the culture
Of the habit of quietness.
Maeterlinek has pointed out the fact
that the best things are never spoken,
and the truest intercourse between con-
genial spirits Is carried on without
words. If we said less and thought
more there would be far fewer things
to explain, many sources Of irritation
would be dried up at the sources and
the prime cause Of irritation, which IL
nervous exhaustion or excitement,
would be removed-Outlook

STATE LOTTERIES.
They Were Once Very Common an
Very Popular In Europe.

They Were Once Very Common and
Very Popular In Europe.
Lotteries were common In ancient
Rome, and during the middle ages lot
teries were utilized by the Italian mer-
chants for the disposal of their goods.
Some of the Italian states then adopted
the lottery as a means of raising reve-
nue., and the institution Of state lot
teries afterward became very CON-
mon and very popular throughout Eu-
rope.
The earliest English state lottery of
which there is any record was In 1869,
when 10000 chances were sold at 10
shillings each, the drawing taking
place In the west door of st. Paul's
cathedral.
The prizes consisted of articles Of
plate, and the profits were employed
for the repair of certain harbors. Early
in the reign Of Queen Anne private lot
teries were suppressed "as public nui-
sauces." but government lotteries, how
ever, were still maintained, and from
100 to 1924 considerable sums were
annually raised In lotteries authorised
by acts of parliament
The average yearly profit to the gov
eminent from 1893 to 1924 was over
$4,000. On the ground Of injury to
public morals lotteries of all kinds
were abolished in England In 1926

BURLINGTON COUNTY has another great
expense staring it in the face. The recent
murder at Moorestown calls for trial of
a man who deserves such action merely
because the constitution gives him the
right to that proceeding. The most i'm
portant witnesses live in Baltimore and
must be brought here at great cost. Many
dollars have already been expended in Sc
curing the arrest of the culprit. All this
is justifable and the money has been well
spent. The point about to be made Is
that, while the negro has right to have
lawyer defend him, there is no reason
why he should have assigned, at q
large fee, a lawyer. who, In case
of conviction, will carry the case
from court to court, at the expense of the
public for the advertisement and glorifica
ton of the legal gentleman. Give the
accused all necessities, but do not throw
the luxuries at him.

TIE INQUEST which was to have been
held in the Moorestown murder case last
Friday was postponed for week. There
is no reason for holding an inquest in this
matter. The prosecutor has much testimony
and it will cost considerable money to
bring the witnesses before the coroner,
with no result save giving to the public
the facts that will come before jury
when the trial, which now seems to be in
evirable. takes place. The grand jury is
still in session and the case;can be present

A STATE of affairs which will be surpris-
ing to majority of our people was dis
closed at the meeting of the State Board of
of Equalization of Taxes, which was held
in Mount Holly, on Wednesday. With one
exception the assessors present were posi-
tive they had assessed all real estate at
its true value, in many instances more than
it would bring at public sale. and they
were equally positive that they had
secured all data about personal property
that could be obtained. So good was the
showing and SO rosy were the statements
that the chairman of the Board compli.
mented the officials upon their good work.
This is entirely different from what tn
people had supposed. There have
been many suspicious that property was
assessed in many cases below its true
value. more on the basis acknowledged
by the assessor from Chester, who frankly
said he did not attempt to place more
than three-quarters value on real estate.
Allowing that the other statements were
strictly correct, how is that going to affect
the assessments this year, when the new
law goes into effect, making a uniform
rate of $3.50 per $10Of 1t has been gen
orally understood that valuations would
have to be increased in many localities to
get that uniform rate, but if the property
all over the county is assessed at its full
value" and none of the personal property
escapes, how are rates. some of them as
high as %, to be brought DOWN.

"Llewenn had the longest beard Of
which we have record. When loose
and flowing 1t fell down over his
horses shoulders almost to the ami
mails knees. 1t was of peculiar yell
low or straw color, which was all the
more CURIOUS, both his parents being
dark haired mountain Welsh people.
Years afterward the mountain people
had proverbs which referred to this
freak, they often using the expression,
About as hong as Howland's beard or
yellow as the whiskers of Llewenn.'
George Kilingworth, whom Queen
Mary sent to Russia in 1866 as one of
her agents to Gear Ivan the Terrible,
had beard five feet three inches in
length, and Count Ruloff Of Poland,
1897, rejoiced in the possession of a
mustache which was so long that he
could not touch the ends Of it with his
fingers.

FORGET YOURSELF.
No One Can Grow While 1

No One Can Grow While HIS
Thoughts Are Self Conferred.
Forget yourself You will never do
anything great until you do. Self con-
seriousness is disease with many.
No matter what they do, they can new
er get away from themselves. They
become warped upon the subject Of
self analysis, wondering how they
look, how they appear, what others
will think Of them and how they can
enhance their own interests. In other
words, every thought and every effort
seems to focus upon self; nothing radi-
ates from them.
No one can grow while his thoughts
are self centered. The sympathies Of
the man who thinks only of himself
are soon dried up. Self consciousness
acts as paralysis to all expansion,
strangles enlargement, kills aspiration.
cripples executive ability. The mind
which accomplishes things looks out.
not in; it Is focused upon its object.
not upon itself
The immortal acts have been uncon-
sciously performed. The greatest pray
ers have been the silent longings, the
secret yearnings Of the heart, not those
which have been delivered facing q
critical audience. The daily desire is
the perpetual prayer, the prayer that
Is heard and answered.-Success.

Sulphur is solid, nonmetaliic MIN
eral which has been known from eaxli-
est ages. 1t is hard, yellow and brittle
and has a most offensive odor. 1t is
found In veins or beds, mostly near
active volcanoes. The imported sui
phur mostly comes from Solfatia, In
Sicily, but large quantities are also pro-
cured from copper and iron pyrites.
These minerals are heated, and the sui
phur being volatile flies off In fumes,
which are conveyed by means Of pipes
to condensing room. If left In the
powdery state in which 1t condenses
1t is called -four of sulphur. If melted
and cast into bars it is called roll sui
