in the smaller Sherwood Inn, hundreds of
impatient women were denouncing as
'horrid" and ''heartless" all this pomp

from them. But ON board the officers
were compelled to remain until the May
flower had left the last ship which the
President visited, and had steamed for
Washington. Then, and not till then, did
the swift little launches begin to run from

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT CONGRAr
ton between husband and wife long sep
arated 1.-THE engaged couples were more
circumspect) occurred with a frequency
and openness which only the time and
place excused. Women threw themselves
in the arms of their husbands and upon
their shoulders. Shouts and cries, laugh
ter and tears were heard on all sides Men
and women embraced and kissed each
other unconscious of or Indifferent to the
crowd around them. The place wss so
jammed that it was well-nigh impossible
to move around at all, but wherever one
went it was to see the same throng of ex-
cited, exhuberant men and women,
laughing, lovemaking, with happiness,
spelled with a very large II, shining from
every face. After the first rapturOus
greeting the woman and the officer with
his grip would disappear up the broad
staircase. or step into the car of the ele-
yator, and away from the eyes of the
crowd the calmer and more sacred reunion
of husband and wife would take place.
1t was rather amusing to the outside
observer to watch the women as they came
into dinner that night. Nothing had been
talked of for days in advance but the
charms ard virtues of husband or lover.
and the outsider naturally felt consider
able curiosity to see what these perfect
creatures really would look like. In most
cases they measured ND remarkably well
10 the description of them, tho the palm
had to be given to those who wore theii'
uniform ashore. Just why an officer
shakes his becoming brass buttons the
minute he strikes dry land, and gets into
his upbecoming "citZ," is something the
feminine mind cannot grasp, but such is
the case, and the officers of the home
coming fleet were no exception to the
rule. The majority, however, knowing
how the wife or sweetheart felt on the
subject, did have the decency to put their
own feelings aside on this occasion and
wear their uniforms ashore.
One thing about the women that night
which particularly amused and interested
the outsider was the fact that nearly
every one of them wore over her pretty
bare shoulders the Egyptian scarf studded
with gold or silver which is so expensive
when purchased in this country. The fact
was amusing because it showed how one
officer had followed the lead of another in
doing his shopping. When it comes to a
question of buying things most men,
whether naval or not, are at sea, and they
eagerly seize upon any suggestion. On
every ship there are always a few meE
who take more or less kindly to this
pleasant duty of picking up pretty things
to take home, and generally the majority
Of their fellow-officers buy exactly the
same things for their women-kind. 1t is
pretty safe to say that every woman with
son, husband, brother, or lover on the
feet who had not already silver or gold
Egyptian scarf, is the happy possessor of
the same today. The fleet visited Cairo.

LEST WE FORGET

In the last five years preceding the
present year, the number of injuries in
the United States occurring as the re-
suit of Independence Day celebrations
were 1908; of this number I.I5s re-
suited fatally. 1t is known that fire.
arms, giant crackers, and toy cannons
produce burns in,various ways and they
are especially the main causes Of SER
ious injury. The statement forego-
ing does not give any details of the
large number of personal blindness and
Gripping which are embraced in the
non-fatal events, nor does it take into
account in any way the great number
of instances in which sick and nervous
persons have their suffering much in
tensiflcd, and in certain number of
instances through this proving fatal,
or at least incapacitating in some de-
gree. The statistics should certainly
create strong sentiment for more
rational method OF celebrating our ma
tons birthday anniversary.

JULY a. 1909

Up to the present time six young
boys in this State have lost their lives
through lockjaw, caused by accidents
in celebrating the recent Fourth OF
July. Commenting on this, the New
ark News says ii it were not for the
fact that the PUBLIC has become familiar
with and therefore more or less indiffer-
ent to the cause of lockjaw that follow
the Fourth OF July celebrations, the
agonizing death of six bright boys might
be expected to arouse such powerful
sentiment against the use Of freerackers
ETC., that not city in all New Jersey
would tolerate them. Happily there
is such sentiment in this State, com
paratively weak at present, but strong
er than 1t was number of years ago,
and steadily increasing. The ordinance
introduced in the Trenton Council and
those in operation and successfully en-
forced in Baltimore, Cleveland, Spring
field, Toledo and Washington show
that sensible people are being thorough
ly awakened to the necessity of driving
out of use all dangerously explosive
playthings.

Everybody knows something about
the common house fly, but by no means
all about it. We are aware it is a pest.
and full of cunning, and beyond that
we do not inquire. The Technical
World Magazine informs us that, un-
like ourselves, the fly was born wise.
1t sees not very much Of the world dur
ing its lifetime, for it rarely travels more
than few rods away from the place
where it was originally Matched.
The widespread popular notion that
1t bites on occasions is wholly erro-
neous. 1t has no mouth parts for Bit
ing. Occasionally stable flies, of en-
trely different species, find their way
into dwelling houses and bite people
whence the mistake. Another wrong
idea is that it walks on the ceiling by
the help of sucking discs attached to
its feet-the fact being that each of its
SIX paws is provided with a pair OF
cushions and two hooks.
The cushions are covered with mi.
mute hairs, which are kept moist by Sc,
cre.ion, causing them to adhere to Q
smooth surface.

preparations should be made at
once to down the undesirable mosquito"
is the suggestion made by the Division
of Zoology, Of the Pennsylvania Depart
ment Of Agriculture. Mosquitoes carry
the germs of disease and there is no
more potent dissemination of fevers.
The utmost precautions, should there
fore, be taken to keep the mosquito out
of our homes.
As pools of stagnant water, cisterns
and cess-pools, are breeding places Of
mosquitoes, Prof Surface recommends
that all tanks of water, cisterns, or YES
sells which hold water, or which might
be filled with water after rain, be
covered or screened with screen of at
least 10 meshes of wire to the inch
Standing water on lots should not be
permitted. All shallow lots should be
drained and kept dry, and post holes
filled, old tin cans and bottles emptied
and breeding places destroyed. All
stables should be provided with alright
receptables for refuse, and this refuse
should be removed every week.
Where there are large natural bodies
Of water which cannot be drained, the
surface should be disinfected and oiled
with kerosene at frequent and regular
intervals. Kerosene is invaluable in
this connection, and it is also good as
a disinfectant. Chloride of lime, or
common copperas (sulphate of iron)
can be thrown into cess pools. Even
the water used in sprinkling carts can
be charged with d,sinfcctan,s, and will
prove valuable aid in keeping away
the mosquitoes. The proprietors of
restaurants, meat markets, milk depots
and bakeries should be compelled to
screen their premises as well as all re-
ceptacles in which water stands or food
is kept and prepared, in order to guard
against mosquitoes and flies.

DON'T BE AN IMlTATOR

The imitator, says o. S. Marden in
Success Magazine, ruins his capacity
for originality for initiative; he loses his
creative power; his inventiveness and
resourcetulness are never developed.
In fact, his executive ability-the abil-
ity to originate, to do things-is serious
ly crippled, il not utterly destroyed by
his efforts to initiate someone else.
No human being ever yet made a
success irving 10 be somebody else, no
matter how great or successful that per-
son might be. Success cannot be sue
cessfully copied; it is original; it is self
expression. A man is failure just
in proportion as he gets away from him

When Henry Ward Beeeher and
Phillips Brooks were at the height of
their fame, hundreds Of young clergy
men tried to copy their style, their man.
nerisms, their mode OF expression, ges
lures, habits, but they fell as far short
of the power of either OF these giants
as the common chrome falls short of
the masterpiece. Not one of these
imtators ever amounted to anything
until he stopped copying, initiating and
began to build up his own foundations.
A great many clergymen today mere
ly echo other preachers sermons which
they have read and absorbed. The ma
jority of the books published are imita-
tons Of previous books, echoes of the
authors whose style and plots the writ
ers have copied. But these copied SER
mons and books lack vitality, force, ma
turalness. They do not stir the blood
or touch the heart of the nearer or
reader. They are cold, lifeless.

OVERLOOKING THE LAW.

The town OF Westheld, in South Jer-
sey, is at white heat. The Mayor APP
pointed a board composed entirely OF
Prohibitionists as drunk protectors.
This board made out Gag list" that
includes every man in the town who
was ever known to take drink of beer
or whiskey. This action Of the pro-
tectors has made the town as dry as
punk. The names of many church
members are on the list and it hurts
their feelings nightly to be classed as
DRINKS or near DRINKS.
The law was never intended for any
thing of this kind and by thus over
working the statute may force its re-
peal by the Legislature next winter.

Is made in history OF the young prince,

joicing In Paris and hailed rs the king
Of Rome" In January. 1914, Napoleon

last time and this really ended the
reign of the little king "who never

the Austrian court under the name Of
the Duke Of Reichstadt and grew to be
q handsome young fellow and quite
brilliant scholar. He had one short
year Of military life and then contract
ed pulmonary disease, from which he
died In his twenty-second year. He

Ii is estimated that there are remain
ing today between 10000 and $1,000
veterans of the war of the rebellion in
New Jersey. The roster shows the
annual loss to be about 1000 each

from all causes, nearly half of which
comes from the active membership of
the Grand Army.

A careful estimate OF the number OF
men at work along the line of the
Lackawanna's cutoff from the Della
ware river to Lake Hopatcong, shows
that there are about $500 men engaged
in the construction Of this 28 miles of
new railroad. Along the line there are
IS steam shovels at work, 90 dinkey
locomotives and 500 cars. There are
IS bridges to be constructed and aa5,-
600 yards OF concrete will be used.
