THINK 1T OVER"

The following editorial from the
Hoboken Observer, on the riparian
investigation, and the refusal to give
George l.. Record a decent hearing, is
directly to the point. 1t seems to
Show that the whole thing is politics
and tie Testimony that is to be dis.
tribYted intended to be a campaign
DOCUMENT. 1t should have but little
Weight. The Observer says:
4 Senator Edmund w. Wakelce, OF
Bergen county, chairman of the spe.
ciaI committee of the Legislature APP
pointed to inquire into riparian af-
fairs, has been asked by George l..
Record to call Immediately II special
meeting at which the corporation
counsel of Jersey City may be per-
mitted to answer the charges which
have been made against him and at
which he may be allowed to cross eX-
anime John G. Payne and other wit
nesses who testified on Wednesday
and Thursday.
This request appeals to both the
American sense of fair play II to
the mind of every honest lawyer.
There are also other and peculiar
reasons why 1t should be granted.
First, among these is the fact thai
Record is Wakelee's political antas-
0nist and the antagonist of every
other republican members of the in
Nestigatihg committee. The corpora
eslon COUNSEL has gone up and down
NsrgeHS county, particularly, asking
the voters to turn out to the primar-
les and smash the machine of which
WaNkeIee is the chief.
Every fair commission Of inquiry
that was ever appointed anywhere
has granted to an accused the right
to make defense. This was true of
the IeXow and Armstrong commit
tees in New York, of the Voorhees,
committee in New Jersey and of the
Insurance investigating committee of
which Senator Hillery is chairman.
Senator John Il. Dryden himself,
Frederick Frclinghuyscn, Ernest Hep
penheimer and others were called
last month to testify for the life in
companies, and George L..
Record is entitled to the same rights
as Dryden.
Defense includes in this country
the right TO cross examine the accus-
ers. As a lawyer Wakelee knows that
this is one of the great safeguards of
freedom. There is no other way
known to get a the whole truth. This
is especially true when witnesses are
hostile, as it was apparent to the
whole state Payne was.
This special meeting of the COM
mittee ought to be called at once, not
in some indefinite, long distant time.
When an accusation is fresh in the
public mind is when the accused has
the right to answer it.
But beyond that unguesti0nablc
right is the further fact that the DO
1itical questions, with which Record
and his friends have taken issue with
Wakelee and Wakelec's friends, must
be decided September %.
Some persons doubtless believe
that the corporation counsel of Jer-
sey City is guilty of everything that
Payne has testified Il about him.
Others are convinced that the sud-
den calling of the two meetings in

LIKE EDGE OF THE WORLD
Unalaska, in the Alaskan Islands, o
Desolate Spot-Where White
Men May Not Land.

Unalaska resembles other northern
stations, having warehouses. docks,
the inevitable Greek church and a
score of wooden cabins. Whalers leave
here for the Arctic regions.
Dutch Harbor is station for our
revenue feet. There is much coming
and going of ships of all nations;
there are quite formidable fleet, and
only two ships out of twelve carry
colors of the same country.
Just before entering the harbor one
notices a detached rock high against
the side of the cliff. It bears strik-
ing resemblance to Russian priest
in full robes. Touched by the sunset
light, he seemed to stand blessing the
harbor.
Sailing north out into Behring sea-
one looks back at the desolate, silent
treeless islands. which seem to wall
the edge of the world. Hundreds OF
miles west they run toward Vladi-
vostok.
Two hundred and forty miles north
of Unalaska are the Pribilof islands;
not large, but the greatest seal islands
in the world. There are many fur
seals around the shores of Behrine
sea and the Aleutian islands, but the
great mass of them are bred on the
Pribilof group. No white man is per
mitted to land on these breeding
grounds without a permit, signed by
the secretary of the treasury of the

THE HONEY COMB PACKING CASE.
Of wood. All the railroads, I think,
now accept shipping cases with glass
fronts as second class. But the bee
keeper must not make the mistake of
having such honey billed sin glass" or
else it will go at first class rates.
The Aspinwall case is very unique
one; and if the discrimination against
glass fronts had continued the all
wood case with the lettering would
have been the solution.
The atwood case can be made con-
siderably cheaper, and l do not know
why it would not be juct as good. If
the freight handler cannot read he
ought to be bounced from the payroll.
Shipping cases with glass fronts have
been broken into, and the fine cakes
of honey despoiled by some big fin
gers, time and time again. The Aspin-
wall case would prevent anything Of
this kind.
The arrangement Of the no-drip
cleats in mortises or slots in the ends
of the case is very unique. 1t could
not, however, be very well applied to
a glass-front case showing four sec
lions six deep. But where the cases
are two-row, like the sample here
shown, there will be no trouble about
mortising for the cleats.

Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease
She maintained that just as nature sc
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods o.
all kinds; so, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies eX

WHAT TO FEED CHICKENS.
Variety Is an Important Thing
Barley, Wheat and Oats Make
Good Mixture.

A variety of feed is best. No sim
gle grain equals mixture. Rye is
poor feed, barley is good, and
wheat and oats the best, says Farm
ing. A mixture of the last three
mentioned with a smaller proportion
of corn, is very satisfactory. Only
sound grain should be fed. The av.
erage screenings in the market are
an uncertain quantity. Feed all grain
in deep litter, rye or wheat straw
being the best, SO that the hens will
be compelled to scratch and get ex.
ercise. Give plenty of grit, crushed
oyster shells and pure water. We

English Language in Antwerp.

Nearly one-half of the shipping traf
fic to and from Antwerp is carried on
under the British and American flags
and this has made Antwerp almost an
English-speaking port. Free night
schools for exclusive classes in Eng
fish, organized by the city authors
ties, are attended by thousands OF
pupils, while special attention is paid
to the study of English in all the
grades of the day schools, public as
well as private. This desire to pop
ularize the English language is not
confined to Belgium, but has extended
to Germany as well. where schools OF
instruction have already been estab-
lished at Munich and Nuremberg by
the German government.

was dangerous or harmless, according

deprived of his tongue he certainly
would have been harmless, for in the

about as meek and unassuming a man
as one could well find. II he had had
Q brain at all commensurate with his

THE POULTRY.

More attention should be given to
water fowls.
When fowls need tonic, there
are some who put few drops of
tincture of iron into their drinking
troughs.
Tobacco stems covered with straw
are an excellent preventative of in.
sect breeding, especially when the
hens are setting.
Feed the fowls about to be shipped
nothing but hard grain the day pre-
vious. They will carry better and
arrive in a better condition.
Poultry keeping can be made an
auxiliary to other pursuits without
infringing upon the time of the keep
er and will bring in handsome re-
turn for the food and care given
them.

Merit and common sense are the

IMPROVED POULTRY HOUSE.
One with Scratching Shed Neces-
gary, for Plenty of Room for
Fowls Is Essential.

In order to have hens do well, they
want commodious quarters. Especial
$ is this true during the winter and,
if they are prohibited running at large
throughout the year Owing to their
love for that freedom which allows
them to move about at will and work
as they please, they soon get tired il
confined in small closed pen, and
stand around and NOPE, as it were,
until they became fat and lazy and
lose their appetite. whereupon they
are detriment rather than a good, to
the owner.
What they need is an open scratch
ing shed, where they can exercise in
the open air, going in and out as they
wish. They will then be always ready
to eat or work, and this, in turn, CIV
ing them health and strength, will en-
able them TO lay large number of
good, fertile eggs.
Fortunately, it is not necessary to
build an elaborate, costly structure to
bring about these results. A simple
scratching-shed house, like that shown
in the accompanying illustration, will
suffice just as well and, oftentimes,
much better.
This affords the great advantage OF
having living room" adjoining the
sleeping apartment, so that on sunny
days a complete change of air and
scene can be enjoyed by the fowls
without exposing them to piercing or
driving storms. 1t also permits of the
ventilation being adapted to the
weather and temperature conditions
at the discretion of the owner.

But I have none," said the anar-
chist, at last grasping the point.
But, or course, all this wisdom was
wasted upon the anarchist. He con-
tinued to make rabid speeches when
ever opportunity offered, and Police
man Flynn continued to puzzle his
head as to the best method of proce-
dure in the matter

that lettering anarchist was a men

was harmless. "U is only where they

said. while they re movin' they
