POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

When you are all done but finishing,
you are just half done.
If you have time to boast about be-
ing worked to death, you have not
much to do.
Some people are so unfortunate that
their troubles make people laugh In
stead of cry.
A man who understands himself
may be tiresome, but he is not cir
cumstance to the man who brags.
People may disdain a compliment,
but they feel a tender little spot in
them where it hit and refused to be
dislodged.
1t is a theory growing in conviction
that the man who says a mean thing
about another isn't as mean as the man
who carries 1t.
The man who travels over the path
behind you wisely looks at your foot
prints and sees where you could have
avoided many a pitfalL = Atchisor

TRAINING DOGS.

POodles the Easiest to Teach, Dachs.
hsnds the Most Dimcult.
A poodle is the easiest of all to train.
and the dachshund is the most difficult,
the latter not because he is too stupid,
but because he Is too smart. A dachs-
hund readily understands what you
want him to do, and he can do 1t, but
he thinks he knows a better way, and
he Invariably tries his way first An
result he is never trained in any
thing thar Is really difficult A dachs-
hund seems to be always poking fun
at one and getting no little amusement
out Of 1t for himself. Collies are easily
trained, but they are more or less un-
reliable, and they are such fiatterers.
They make you think things are all
right and then they run away at the
very first opportunity. In preference
to other dogs, collies are trained al
most exclusively in the militia Of VI
emma for carrying, in time Of war, mes
sages and medicine to and from the
camp and the sick soldiers, but they
are chosen more for their speed than
their faithfulness. Fox terriers are
natural acrobats. Within a few weeks
one can be trained to turn a somer-
sault. A few weeks more and he win
do double turn. To teach him to do
this the trainer calls the animal to him,
and as he comes jumping playfully
against the trainer he Is caught and
turned quickly In the air, much to his
surprise. He thinks it is play, and he
comes jumping up again. After each
turn he Is given small piece Of meat
In few weeks he will run up and try
Independently to do the turn over In
the air for the meat, and if he is en-
couraged it will not be long before he
is an accomplished acrobat-Leslie's
Weekly.

PIANO ExPERlM ENTS.


Playing by Sweeping the Strings
With . Feather.
Open wide your piano so that the
wires are exposed. Over the wires
place sheets of music, and when you
strike tone you will find that it has
a rafting sound If now you play a
tune in the same manner, with the
sheets Of music still lying on the
strings, it will sound as if the instru-
ment were a banjo. Anyhow, it ia q
good imitation.
press down gently, but firmly, the
keys belonging to any cord Take the
simple cord C, q, G, for example.
The keys must be pressed down with
out sounding them and held down
while some one gently brushes the
strings with feather or a straw. The
effect will be as II the cord were play
ed far away and Is heard by you as
very soft tones.
Change the cord, always pressing
down the keys without sounding them,
while the feather still sweeps the
strings lightly. In this way you may
modulate or play a slow piece, and the
effect will be very beautiful, indeed, as
If heard from great distance.
The reason Of this Is that ordinarily
a damper rests against each string.
but when the corresponding key II
struck or pressed down the damper u
raised. In sweeping the strings with
the feather, lightly, only the strings
that are undampered sound, the others
being held mute by the hampers, but
If the touch of the feather is too heavy
even the other strings may sound, 90
your care must be In making a light
and delicate touch.
Now press down a key gently and
hold 1t. Strike very hard the octave
above this key, but do not hold 1t after
striking the tone. When the wire Of
the tone struck has been sufficiently
dampered SO that it does not sound 80
loud, the pressed down key viii be
heard to "sing" clearly, even though
1t was not struck This Is because
every note struck Ia composed Of sew
eral notes. being In reality a cord In
itself, and each note contained In that
cord causes the corresponding note In
the keyboard to vibrate, or sing In
sympathy If held down In like man
ner.
The other notes that will sound under
these conditions will always be the
| ffth above the octave, the second oc-
tave and the third and fifth above that,
and these tones that sound are called
"overtones."
For Illustration, II G in the lower
part of the piano be struck, any or all
Of the notes that follow will sound II
| their keys are first pressed and held
down.-Philadelph Press.

ONE of the laws passed by the Legisla-
ture il that allowing trolley companies to
carry freight To the farmers does this
privilege particularly appeal To act
under the provisions of the statute the
trolley people must first secure permission
from the authorities of the municipality
through which the road runs. While
much care and consideration should be
given to this subject by those in command
there II no reason for creating sentiment
which will result In prohibitive conditions
No harm whatever will result fromcompe
tition with the steam roads. Had such 8
condition existed in this neighborhood
years ago Mount Holly would not now b.
at standstill while other places have
forged ahead In the matter of manufac
lures and population. The little town.
along the river front. with water facilities
and cheap freights. are . striking example
on this point. The recent census show
that of q gross increase of 1929 IL
the eounty's population the rive
towns" contributed 3,669. Riversid,
alone gained 720. Palmyra increased
343. while Mount Holly was con
tent with an increase of BAL Trolley ant
steamboat competition gave the river from
railroad rates which attracted commuters
and steamboat freight was looked upol
favorsbly by the manufacturers. Moores
town, which had trolley service long be
fore Mount Holly secured that means 0
travel. increased its population 429. Com
petition along the lines suggested will d
no harm.

No CASE has attracted more attention or
created more interest than the contest over
the Office of Sheriff of Monmouth county
Asa Francis, it will be remembered. was
declared elected by very small majority.
A recount was ordered and Charles Close,
the Democratic nominee, was given the
Office by six majority. This decision was
reached after close examination of the
ballots, many cast for Francis being
thrown out because of marks upon them
that were declared by the court to be
distinguishing marks" and contrary to
the provisions of the statutes. This de-
cision has created comments pro and con,
but the general opinion prevails that the
unsesting of Francis was good Judgment
and that the law has not been overreached
In securing that end. That Francis was
not desired by the good people of Mon
mouth county IL an assured fact and that
il sufficient on that point. That he will
not willingly relinquish the office is to be
expected, but he will probably step down
and out in a short time. The opinion by
Judge Hendrickson contains many points
of value to other localities than Mon
mouth. He calls attention to points in the
law which, while they may be strict and
apparently trivial. still. he says, are the
law and must be honored. Particularly
do his remarks apply to the marking of
ballots. On some Of the tickets the marks
were possibly made by the displacing OF
types in the printing office, but the Judge
holds that it is not his province to pass
upon such point. The law says there
must not be any marks whatever The
wisdom of this il plain to be seen. Can
didates are allowed to have tickets printed
for their personal use. If printers errors
were to be allowed how easy it would be
to have few hundred tickets printed with
little marks that would identify them and
then be attributed to the slipping of a
lead or quad. 1t may be easy for such
thing to happen, but the law provides
that tickets be sent to the county clerk in
time to be examined before distribution in
order that any discrepancy may be dis
covered and rectided. Judge Hendrick-
sons decision is proper and it will
have the effect of causing officers to
carefully scan tickets before handing
them to voters.

TUESDAY, APRIL II, 1906.

IT Is generally conceded that the Legis
lature which ended its labors on Friday
was very creditable body. The Newark
Adcertissr says: This was q history max
ing Legislature. There was never any
thing like 1t in all the previous Legislative
history of the State, and probably it will
have no counterpart In many years. Left
to itself without guide or compass the
Legislature would have accomplished
little or nothing. But there was a master
hand at the helm in the person of Govern
or Stokes. to whom, as well as to the able
and resolute leadership In the Legislature
the people may well render grateful
thanks. The modest words of congratu
lation to the Legislature by the Governor
when the session terminated in the small
hours Of the morning were eminently ap
propriate and deserved"

The appropriation for the dredging
of Tuckerton creek under the present con
tract has been about exhausted, and work
will probably cease by the end of this week.
Major Flagler intends to provide for max
ing q uniform depth of six feet from the
mouth Of the creek to the grist mill before
the final work on the creek is completed
This may come in with the next appropri-
alton. which is likely to be made next win
ter, and will probably be done in connection
with the cutting of channel to Marshel-
der Point. 1t will be remembered that
the original plan of depth for the creek
was six feet to West Tuckerton Landing,
five feet to Scow Landing, four feet to
Cattsil Island and three feet to the mill
The change to uniform depth of six feet
will be great improvement.
