1t seems that the passion for care
playing among Jewish women is not Of

The board of directors of the Y. NJ
G.. A., met at the association rooms
Tuesday night and made some, i'm
portant changes in the different de-
partments of the institution.
The secretary and treasurer's re-
ports were read and showed the as
ISOLATION to be in the best Of shape.
One Of the important matters OF
business transacted was the appoint
ment of a committee of DR.. A. M.
Hume and Sec. Sidenius, to revise
the constitution in such way that
the board of directors would be COM
posed of fifteen members, thus CIV
ing all the churches in the city a
representative.
At present only the churches near
ahe business section of the city are
represented, as the churches farther
away were not built at the time that
the present constitution was drawn
up.
Another matter of importance TAX
en- care of was the change in the way
in which memberships are paid.
Heretofore a membership for three
months could be taken out, but it
has been found that this will not
work to the best advantage and it
Will be necessary hereafter to pay
the SIS, per year, all at once. How
ever, if the years membership is paid
q manth before the old men,
hprShin eXnireS an additional
month will be given the one making
the payment.
The plan of Sec. Sidenius of TAX

was approved by the board, and will
De done.
Wednesday Sec. Sidenius and two
boys went to Linden to look UP

Leuend of the Moss Rose.

A German tradition gives the origin
Of the moss rose as follows: An angel
came to earth in mortal guise. He
sought place of shelter and repose
after his labors Of love, but every door
was shut against the heavenly visitor
At length the angel, being very weary,
sank upon the ground and over him a
rosebush spread like tent 1t caught
upon its outspread leaves the falling
dew which would otherwise have
,1renched the messenger of love. WAX.
Ing, the angel said to the rose:.
Thou hast yielded the shelter that man
denied:
proof OF my love shall with the abide"
And the green moss gathered about the
stem
While the dcwdrops shone like a diadem,
Growing the bushing flower.

Story of a Greek Saint.

A member of the Royal Geographical
society gives this little story OF q
Greek saint: "Our good st. BlazioS
gave us the phrase drunk as Blazes,
for this saint was pleasantly done to
death by having his flesh torn off by
wool combs. and so he became the pa
iron of the English wool combers. and
as high feast was kept up on his day
and the people who frequented the
feast were called Blazers so the saying
grew into the English tongue and re
mains there fixed and useful"

pictures of President Davis, General Lee,
General stuart and other famous Con-
