The Art of IdIfng.

Cultivate the art of idling. There is oo doubt that to be able to idle at will IS most valuable gift and one which Is becoming rarer every day The art of loafings is not properly understood oy the majority of people. Much has been written on the subject. Steven son dealt with it in an essay; MT. Kenneth Grahame touched on 1t in Pagan Papers," and MT. Barry Pain has some Illuminating remarks on the subject in his Canadian canoe book. There is a subtle difference between the views of these experts. MT. Ora hame advocated absolute idleness. Er. Pain pointed out, with more truth, that the great art of loafing was to do the easiest thing and that sometimes it Is easier to work than to be idle. This Is the secret of the whole matter. The superficial idler thinks 1t his duty to be idle on every occasion. The man who has studied the subject knows that this is an entirely erroneous view. There are times when we feel that we must be up and doing. If we sternly repress this inclination our peace is disturbed. The really scien- tific idler is the man who can idle at will.-London Chronicle.

Chances Are Against 5. Minority Report on
 City Court Contest
Continued From First PageA


 The Old Mems faction rely upon Sen- ator Searles and Judge Malone to fight their battle upon the floors of the Sem ate and House, respectively. It is be- Iever, however, that neither of these gentlemen relish the idea of attacking the sentiments of the majority of their colleagues, but will content themselves with having made the best fight they were capable of in committee.
 Whether he deserves it or not it is nevertheless the fact that the one all prevailing influence which the "Old Men'' say is responsible for the turn events have taken is the gentleman from FairfieId, the distinguished Speaker of the House, Hon. Fillmore S. Banks.
 If the Hull-Gould slate goes through Fred Bartlett is slated for prosecuting attorney, William A. Redden for as- sistant prosecutor, Albert J. Merritt clerk and James A. Turner assistant clerk.
 On all sides regret is expressed that Prosecutor Alexander Delaney will be retired for the advocates of the Hull Gould slate admit that he made a first class prosecutor and that no one can question his efficiency of honesty, des- pite the intellectual attempt of the Pas tors Association to besmirch his char acter

Storm Broke Up Train Schedules and it May Be Sunday Before They Can Get Away-Au Trains Hampered.
Special from United Press.)

Especial from Cn1ted PreSS.D
 New York, March 1.-The back bone of yesterdays storm. which caused enormous damage along the Atlantic SeabOard. was broken to-day and thousands of men are at work repair ing the damage but it will be several days before crippled commun. cation with Washington and Baltimore can be restored or before trains can run with anything like schedule regularity from and to the National Capitol.
 Every city along the Seaboard from New York to Norfolk, is suffering fro n the heavy snow which armies of snow shoveliers are endeavoring to c-ear away. More than a thousand tel<~ graph poles are down between Wilm- ington and Washington and stalled somewhere along the line are many trains filled with incoming passengers. Many of these did not reach Washing ton at all. Some got as far as Balt1- more and then they turned back.
 It was stated by railroad official to-day that the crowd now in the cap itol would net be moved from there before Sunday. These include the Bridgeport contingent. He stated tha all trains have to proceed with the utmost caution and that even the fla nous Congressional Limited cannot make to exceed twenty miles an hour on the division south of Philadelphia
 Here in this city elevated and sur face railway schedules are re-arrang ed and cars being run with safety. The snowfall was a blessing to the unem- ployeo many of whom were given Edwards who is removing the snow without regard to private contractors. Several charitable societies are en- gagged in giving much needed aid.

Resin,

The resin of the shoemaker and fid- dler Is obtained from different species of the fir tree-as the Scots fir, the larch and the balsam fir of Canada. It is we'll known that a resinous juice exudes from these trees, which hardens into solid tears The clear juice itself. before it has dried up by coming to the surface, is known in commerce as tur- pentine and is in the main composed of oil of turpentine and resin. When the juice is distilled, the oil comes over, and the resin remains behind. When the distillation is carried on to dryness, common resin is formed, but when water is mixed with it while yet fluid the resulting mass is the variety called yellow resin, which is more preferred for most purposes because it is more ductile than the former. owing prob ably to its containing some oil.

History of the rypewriter.

"The history of the typewriter is in- teresting," said an inventor. ''The first patented machine was Henry Mills. It was as big as a bureau and made no popular appeal. This was in England in 1714- The first type bar machine was made in America. Its inventor was A. H. Beach. The patent was taken out in 1856. The Beach type writer was not practical. The first practical typewriter was invented by Latham Sholes in 1867. Sholes had for partners s. W. Soule and Carlos Glid- den, but these two men became dis couraged and dropped out It wasn't till some years later that Sholes got his machine ready for the market. Then he took it to big firm of gunmakers, the Remingtons, and it at once began to sell on a large scale. Sholes re- mained in the employ of the Reming- tons up to the time of his death"

 Washington, March Eff the other administration went out with a blus- ter, the new one came in with a smile. Today the sun shone brightly the sky was clear and the wind had reduced itself to the proportions of a zephyr. The Taft smile was the almost invol- untary expression of the avera ge Washingtonian as he appeared this morning on the sun-kissed landscape without. In fact, the Smile began yesterday afternoon almost incidentally with the conclusion of the new Presi- dents inaugural address.
 President Taft himself wore it with more than his accustomed warmth. He appeared promptly at 9:30 at the executive offices to take up the duties of his administration. His first caller was the incoming Secretary of State, Philander c. Knox, of Pennsylvania. The new premier of the cabinet con ferred with the President for about ten minutes.
 Next, he interviewed the Republican members of the Ways and Means com m1ttee, who appeared at 10, headed by Chairman Payne The President con ferred with them in regard to issuing his call for a special session, and was given assurance that they would have a bill ready for the consideration of the Congress on March 15.
 President Taft's first work was to send to the Senate which met in spec ial session, the list of his cabinet which he wanted to have confirmed without delay. With the list of cabinet offic- CTS was also sent the name of William Loeb of New York, former secretary to President Roosevelt, ito be collector of the port of New York.
 There was no change in the makeup of the cabinet as already announced.
 The weather is clear today and the snow in the streets is melting rapidly.
 The death List by exposure will be very large, it is feared. As a direct result of the storm three deaths have been reported.
 President Taft's nominations of his cabinet officers. the same as heretofore announced in the press, were confirm ed by the Senate to-day. He so nom mated MT. Beekman Winthrop of New York to be assistant Secretary of the Navy; William Loeb. Jr.. of New To k. to be collector of customs of the Dis trict of New York; Huntington Wilson of Illinois to be assistant Secretary of State.

The Orange Tree.

The orange is the longest lived fruit tree. It begins to bear the third year after budding, and for 100 years it will yield abundant crops. Orange trees have been known to attain the ripe age of 300. The orange requires less care and attention than any other fruit tree. Its early growth is rapid. In the first two years it grows more than it will in the next fifty. This refers of course to it's height and breadth alone its fruit stems and consequently it's crops increase more rapidly after the first ten years.

To dig a grave with spade that is new is SUD- posed to bring death in the family with in a twelvemonth. Hence gravedig- gers buy their spades second hand as rule. Another superstition with some is that a grave should never stand open overnight. It should not. they say, be dug till the day of the funeral. If it is made the day before. beware. There is a third superstition that if a cock crows once while a grave is being dug one friend of the digger will die; if it crows twice, two will die; if thrice, three"
