Mo Fun Enr Bows.

In some of the cantons of SwitZer-
land they have special laws made for
boys. Here is a sample of them:
''If boy throws a stone and hits
man he may be fined francs.
IF boy throws a SNOWFALL and hits
a woman he may be fined francs.
IF boy calls girl a red head he
may be fined from to A francs.
'Tf boy throws at frogs in pond
without being ordered to do so by his
father OF teacher he shall be fined
franc.
IF a boy throws a stone and breaks
a window belonging to some one else
his father may whip him or he may be
fined francs.
IF a boy makes face at his teach
er OF draws pictures Of him on his
slate OF speaks Ill of him he may be
fined francs and have to beg his par
don
IF boy stones a dog or chases a
cat it is fine Of franc.
IF two boys fight without the con-
sent of their teacher it is a fine Of 8
francs.
IF boy steals apples or other fruit
1t is fine of 2 francs, and he should be
beaten by his father"
The American boy who reads the
above will wonder what the Swiss boy
has to live for. About all he can do
and not be fined is to have the measles
or whooping cough.-EXchange.

The police of Trenton have ascertain
ed that Charles Lurch. the river pirate, y
recently arrested for looting craft and
robbing towns along the river from that
city to the bay, frequently operated by
Disgusting himself as a detective. If the
police or watchmen approached, he would
display badge, and in this way could
continue his operations without being mo-
Tested. Much of the plumber he secured
has been recovered under a false bottom
in Lurch's house-boat. When first arrest

fessed, his wife telling him this was the
best thing to do.
For three days the two sons of Geo.

More discoveries of contamination OF
the water supply at the State Hospital fol
the Insane. at Trenton, are being made by
state, city and the hospital authorities
but there is lack of harmony in these
discoveries. Independent tests are being
made, the state claiming that the hospita
spring has been polluted from leak il
the city's sewer system, while the CITY
Health Board contends that the contami
nation is from faulty construction of tn,
hospital sewer. Tests are being made by
each department to prove their RESPECTIVE,
claims While these are going on part o.
the hospital sewer system has been closed
and now the health Of Trenton is threat
ened as result. The closing of the sew
ers has resulted in the overflow of sewag
across two fields into brook that flow
into the feeder of the Delaware and Rari
tan Canal, and finally into the Trenton
water power and then into the Delawar
river few hundred feet above the intak
pipe OF the Trenton water system. Tn
health authorities declare that this condi
tion will prevail only during the maxim
of the sewer tests, but they make no guar
antee that the citys reservoir will not b
contaminated by the overflow

Rather CONFUSING

Nowadays the duties Of clerk and
sexton are usually performed by the
same person, and an amusing story is
told of a person who, visiting a village
church and being struck by the knowl-
edge of legends and history shown by
the old man who was taking him
round asked his guide what occupa-
ton he followed "We1l," said the old
man, Il hardly know what be. First
vicar he called me clerk; then another
he came, and he called me virgin; then
the last vicar said was the Christian.
and now l be clerk again" 'Virgin"
was, Of course, confusion of verger,
and Christian for sacristan or sex

The MuskeIlunoe.

The Indian name of this great fighter
OF the fresh water lakes and tributa-
ries is "esoxmasquinongy" Our nat
uralfsts have the word translated into
about eight or nine different styles, but
the correct way of spelling it In our
language is undoubtedly "muskel-
lunge.' Most fishermen, however,
pronounce and spell It to suit them
selves, and no man seems to be an ac-
cepted authority 1t is one thing in

ness it is said to surpass the tarpon

An up-Jersey paper, which seldom sees
anything or any person to commend, has
made the discovery that ex-Postmaster-
General Cortelyou will be a frst.class
man to name for Republican candidate for
President next year. 1t lauds him as q
man who has simply worked himself to
the front without aid or influence and by
his own qualifications. Some of this is
laughable. Perhaps those great qualifica.
tons did put MIR. Cortelyou into his first
position as one of the secretaries of the
late President Mckinley, but it is an oper
secret that he has been one of the partic
ular proteges of the present Chief Execu
tive, and what that means is known to al
1t is all right to give utterance to pleas

but it will be some time before the ex
Postmaster-General will occupy the Whit,

TUESDAY, AUGUST s, 1907

AFFAIRS at the State Insane ASYLUM
were not put in any better shape by the
investigation which was continued last
week, and which resulted in the dismissal
OF Dr. John Ward, who for forty years
has been the practical head of the institu-
ton Developments prove conclusively
That Dr. Ward was not removed any too
soon, but there remains no doubt that
other dismissals should follow. There is
no necessity to 60 into detailed account
OF the misdoings of any one official. There
appears to be good reason to believe that
every man connected with the asylum has
been grossly derelict. The Board of Man
ayers should dismiss all hands and then
promptly hand in their own designations.

A HIGH State official who wants to be
impartial in every way, and whose intelli-
gence is very much above the average, has
said that he doesn't think that the Tren-
ton Asylum managers are to be blamed for
what happened at that institution. The
public will respectfully decline to take
that view. Those managers were supposed
to be supervising and experimenting the
affairs of the asylum. They did nothing
of the kind. They neglected duties of the
office. and even when an outbreak of dis
ease compelled them to sit up and take
notice, they made no effort to see that their
orders were being carried out. And the
financial end of their management was
just as careless. The auditing was ridicu-
lousy pefunctory-so much so that one
member of the committee didn't know the
name OF the chairman. From all the facts
and testimony so far adduced it looks as
If Judge Vroom had been the whole
Board. The other members depended up.
on him and Warden Hayes and DIR. Ward
seemed to understand he was practically
the Board However that may be. the
inefiiciency and negligence of the Board is
indisputable. and the only way to appease
the righteous wrath of the public is to
make a clean sweep and install men who
will ably and conscientiously discharge
their duties. -Neaoark Eveniag Star.
