TWO TICKETS
IN The FIELD
Lively Contest Promised in South
AmbOy Over the Election Of a
School Board.


There promises to be lively con-
test over the election of school
commissioners this year. This is
probably the outcome of the agitation
over the high school when Mr.. Bost-
wick was not reappointed principal.
Already two tickets are in the field
and the supporters of both are get
ting busy with the voters. One of
the tickets is composed of present
members who ask the people to en-
dorse their action by reelection and
the other consists of men, of equally
high standing in the community, who
are evidently opposed to the manner
In which the present board has con.
Quoted affairs. On one ticket are
the names Of Messrs. Sutliff, Deibert,
Slower and Dfsbrow, and on the other
are DR.. e. q. Haines, A. j. Miller,

"How strange it is" said the philoso-

countenance is least familiar to you"
"Who Is that?" asked the visitor.
yourself" said the philosopher at
Is fact that If people could be dupli-
Gated and could meet themselves in the
street very few would recognize them
selves. We look at ourselves many
times during the 365 days of the year.
We say our eyes are blue or whatever
color they may be, our hair brown, our
chin peaked, our forehead high. We
know every lineament of our face from
constant study and attention, yet when
we turn away from the mirror we can
not coniure up picture of ourselves.
We know just how our friends and
even acquaintances look In fancy we
can see them sitting so or standing so
md their varying expression under diff
ferent circumstances is clear to us,
even though we have not seen them
for years. But when it comes to our
selves we cannot even fill in the out
line of the picture. We may laugh, we
may cry, we may frown, but we do
not know how we look while we are
doing it, Photographs do not help us.
We have never seen ourselves in the
flesh. Mirrors and pictures are pooR
aids when we sit down and try to see
ourselves with the minds eye That
is why people are so deeply interested
in anybody who is said to resemble
them. Just say to a man, know
somebody who looks for all the world
like you,'' and he will never rest until
he sees that person. Then if the like
ness is really true he will own that up

WHEN FIRE BREAKS OUT.
Keep Cool and Remember and Follow
These Instructions.

In case of fire, if the burning
sprayed with q solution of salt and
nitrate of ammonia an incombustible
coating is formed. This is a prepara-
ton which can be made at home at
trihing cost and should be kept on
hand. Dissolve twenty pounds of COM
mon salt and ten pounds Of nitrate OF
ammonia in seven gallons of water.
Pour this into quart bottles of thin
glass and fire grenades are at hand
ready for use. These bottles must be
tightly corl1ed and sealed to prevent
evaporation, and in case of fire they
must be thrown near the flames, so as
to break and liberate the gas con-
tanned. At least two dozen of these
bottles should be ready for an emer-
gency.
In this connection it is well to re-
member that water on burning oil scat
ters the flames, but that -four will eX-
tnguish it, Salt thrown upon fire
if the chimney is burning will help to
deaden the blaze If a fire once gets
under neaQWay ana prompt exit De-
comes a necessity, a silk handkerchief
dipped in water and wrapped about
the mouth and nostrils will prevent
suffocation from smoke; failing this.
piece of wet flannel will answer.
Should smoke fill the room, recall
your physics-remember that smoke
goes first to the top of the room and
last to the Go0r. Wrap blanket or
wooden garn. about you, with the
wet cloth over your face, drop on your
hands and knees and crawl to the win
dow. Bear in mind that there is no
more danger in getting down from
three story window than from the first
floor if you keep firm hold of the
rope or ladder. Do not slide, but go
hand over hand.-New York Tribune.
