cunning. My wife and | have FAMED
about beauty spots in the state, where
old mount Carrot looms up to the sky
about Paterson; then down the Passaic
valley; on top of the Orange mountains,
about Mount Clair and Caldwell; gazed
upon the white houses of Boonton, twenty
miles away, that gave the appearance oil
snow clad hills on the warm days of sum-
mer. We have rested in the valleys, and
glided along the waters of the Hudson
river in a palace steamer, gazing on the
wonders of nature depicted in the pala-
sades, and got tired out roaming about
Mauch Chunk, in Pennsylvania, but in
zone Of the places visited was the same
spirit of contentment manifested as we
found it at PENIS Grove.
| took strolls in the woods and along
the cinder path that leads to and from
the powder works. l met hundreds of
men, some on wheels. some a foot, some
going, others ereturning from work. l
noticed to my establishment, from the ia
cial expression of the bread winners,
marks of refinement, intelligence andthat
they possessed the requisite to be leaders
in social, civic and political affairs.

eys' are looked upon as being of the low
er strata. When death overtakes them by
explosions there does not appear to be
the same feeling that would be manifes-
ted in the destruction OF a mill with scores
of it's operatives, but how different when
you once with these same
Powder Monkeys! They are placed on
an equality with others Of high standing.
Had our trip been devoid of the great
pleasures we enjoyed, | would have felt
fully compensated in the knowledge l
had attained by my association with those
who constitute the majority Of the inhabi-
tants.
Penn's Grove we found a restful place,
with its pretty little grove where n can
view nature in all its beauty. The majes-
tic Delaware, with its numero us river
craft; the villages and cities on the slopes
of the sites in Delaware; the green fields
in the distance, and birds on their south
ern pilgrimage.
A short walk takes a j person to the out
skirts where you can behold the ripening
fields of corn, the farmer turning his hay
while the by-paths are concealed by the
/. wild flowers of varied hues.
1t is a perfect blending OF city and
country life, joy and contentment, with
out the abuses SO often to be found in
many places much smaller. During the
entire time Of our %sojourn we saw no n
who showed any evidence of having par
taken of intoxicants. Some may indulge
along the shore, trancient jewellers, but

A Doq Habit.

Have you ever thought why it Is that
a dog turns around and around when
he jumps up on his cushion or starts
to settle himself anywhere for a nap?
Now that you are reminded you can
recall that you have seen dog do it
many times, can't you? This habit is
about all that is left to our tame little
doggies of the days long ago, when
they were race of wild animals and
lived in the woods. Their beds then
were matted grass and leaves, and it
was to trample enough grass and prop
erly arrange the leaves that the dog al
ways trod around a narrow circle be-
fore he would lie down. The dog of
today keeps up the same old habit, al
though there is no longer any need for
it. and of course the animal has no
notion why he does it,

Love of Beauty.

We will try to make some small piece
Of ground beautiful, peaceful and fruit
full. We will have flowers and veg
etables in our garden, plenty Of corn
and grass in our fields. We will have
some music and poetry. The children
shall learn to dance and sing it. Per.
haps some of the old people, in time,
may also. We will have some art, and
little by little some higher art and
Imagination may manifest themselves.
among us-nay, even perhaps an un-
calculating and uncovetous wisdom, as
of rude Magi, presenting cups Of gold
and frankincense, for this love Of
beauty Is an essential part Of all
healthy human nature, and, though it
can long coexist with states of life in
many other respects unvirtuous, 1t Is
itself wholly good, the direct adversary
of envy, avarice, mean worldly care
and cruelty. The men in whom 1t has
been most strong have always been
compassionate and lovers Of justice
and the earliest declarers and discov-
erers of things conducive to the hap
piness Of mankind.-John Ru5kin.

THE MALE OPERA HAT. .
Why 1t Rises Superior to Any Passing
Fashion Dictates.


Men generally protest against the
changes of style in hats, and one of
the sex has written to the New York
Mail this complaint:
Why attack as a "collapsible. many
named pretender'' the opera hat, or
chapeau de elaque?
1 have such a hat and also a silk hat,
in which respect think differ from
most Gothamites. Whenever 1 have
an option I wear the opera rather than
the other It's more convenient.
At the theater or opera you can car
~ 1t better on your between the acts
promenades. If there is no rack for
your hat under the seat you can tuck
it in your overcoat and put it on the
floor under you without destroying it.
as you would do with a silk hat
If you put your hat in the rack IN
der your seat and then rise and stand
close to it to permit a late conner to
pass an opera hat suffers no damage.
A silk hat would be either ruffled or
crushed.
The opera hat looks as well at all
times as the silk hat and requires
much less care. Indeed, I think it
looks better. The glossy surface of
silk hat like the glossy bosom of a
stiff white shirt, is an uncomfortable
survival of the time when men wore
polished helmets and breastplates.
There is so much reason in the opera
hat that men of discrimination will
continue to wear it, the style of the
moment regardless.
