Guards the Imperial Court Against

There Is at Kaiser Wilhelm Berlin
palace an OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, a lady
who has been described as a court
chamberlain In petticoats, who has to
make personal acquaintance with
every lady before she attends court.
A ball at the Berlin court is an
affair Of much ceremony, but curious
to say. there are no cloak rooms In
the palace and all wraps have to be
left In their owners carriages.

How Injurious Coffee Really Was.

Many persons go on drinking coffee
year after year without realizing that
1t Is the cause of many obscure but
persistent ailments.
The drug-caffeine-in coffee and
tea, is very like uric acid and is often
the cause OF rheumatic attacks which,
when coffee is used habitually, become
chronic.

"Since two learned jurists in the

a man earning only Sc a week should
be compelled by law to support his

of Toledo, Ohio, to a New York Tele

ton to one of our higher courts.
The jurist who holds that a man
earning no more than that should not
be compelled to support a wife, ever
though he has solemnly agreed to
does not appear to have taken the
popular end of the question.
1T Is not likely that Mr.. Roosevelt
in his widest rawlings about race sui
eide, would advocate a gentleman
marrying on Sc per week and endeav,
oring to support a wife and family.
AT the same time there are doubt
less many thousands Of married men
in New York who have no earned Sc
every week during the last year, and
1t is most creditable to them and to
their poor wives that you have not
had more men in this class before the
courts for non-support.
THE girl or woman who Ia willing
to struggle along with a man who
earns only Sc a week Is q heroine, and

When 1t was time to get up he was
weary and exhausted both in mind
and body. He was quite content to
lie still and listen to the familiar
sounds that had gone on repeating
themselves since he was a boy. Now
and then he felt as though he were a
boy still, and all that had happened
in later years was but a confused and
painful dream.
About 9 o'clock he fell asleep, and
slept on until noon. Then he got up
and dressed himself, and stole silent

Marion sprang ont of the big couch
when he entered and ran to meet
him.

she said, with a little catch in her
voice. 1--WE have been keeping the

That he might win her for his wife
was a proposition too absurd to be
entertained for a moment. She was
a lady of rank; he only a struggling
man of business. She had the pick
of society at her feet. Men had raved
about her for a couple of seasons.
Flattering paragraphs had appeared
about her in all the society papers.
Her photographs were to be seen
everywhere. For him, therefore, to
aspire to her hand would be the very
height of presumption and folly. One

his point of view a darker had come

The bright, irresponsible, incense,

MONMOUTH'S FARMERS

Estimates 5000 Acres Of Potatoes.


1t is estimated by the manager of
the Monmouth County Farmers Ex-
change that at least 5000 acres of
land have been planted in potatoes
this season by members of that or
ganization, and if an average crop
results the Farmers Exchange will
have in the neighborhood Of half a
million barrels of potatoes at their
disposal in the late summer and early
fall.
The Exchange will begin next week
shipping asparagus for its members,
and berries and other crops will be
handled in like manner in season.
About 10000 barrels of seed potatoes
were sold by the exchange to it's mem
bers this spring and about $4,000
phosphate business was done through
the same organization. Not all the
seed potatoes planted by the members
were purchased at the Exchange, and
perhaps not half of the phosphate
business was done through this chan
mel. The seed business was done for
the most part, on cash basis in the
Exchange this year, while indepen-
dent dealers sell many seed potatoes
and wait for their money until the
crop is harvested. The phosphate
business is conducted the same way,
and it was not until late that the Ex
change decided to handle phosphate
at all this year

kuRIos FROM CORRESPONDENTS

Q. Some of my pigeons have most
peculiar disease. A cock birds wing
became stiff l bred from him, and
now two of his squads have a stiff
wing What is this disease, its cause
and cure?
A. The trouble is called wing bone''
and is claimed to come from inbreed-
ing and improper feeding at time Of
molt. 1t is cankerous in nature, and
victims should be killed
@. Is it true that a Leghorn hen
mated to a Cochin male becomes a
half Leghorn and half Cochin and
from that time remains the same, it
matters not with what other breeds
mated?
A. No. That fool notion exploded
fifty years ago. To mate an eleven
pound cock with hen half the size
is, however, a colossal fool stunt.
Q. Is there any way to make hens
set?
A.. Yes. Pen them in coop where
there is little room to exercise; feed
only whole corn to make them fat and
lazy The hotter the coop the better.
@. Which do you consider the more
important. shape or color?
A. The saying is. "Shape makes the
breed, color the variety" Thus if
you don't have the shape you haven't
the breed. Both shape and color in
every section are scored, and the result
decides the prize. A good shape with
bad color and good color with bad
shape are seldom considered where
there is competition

from eating their eggs? How many
eggs should pheasant lay in sea-
son?

hind for hen, and hole in the bundle
just large enough for hen to creep

PUBLIC SCHOOL REGULATION.
Pupils Must Salute the Flag; Super
rising Principals Legislated Out.

AT meeting of county school super
intendents at Trenton last Friday In
the State House, Deputy Superinten-
dent of Public Schools Belts advised
those present of a new rule by the
State Board of Education which re-
quires pupils to salute the American
flag as part of the opening exercises
daily of every public school, The rule
was promulgated at the request of the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
tion and Sons of American Revolution.
The attention of superintendents
was called to the new laws just enact
ed concerning the public school sys-
tenn, not the least one of which is the
act regulating the appointment OF SUI
pervising principals. This measure
legislates all the present supervising
principals out of Office, the idea being
to get rid of such officials in districts
where they are not required, and at
the same time enabling the municipali-
ties that need the services of super
vising principals to re-establish the
office and continue the present incum-
bents in service, if SO desired.
Under the operation of this law Pro-
fessor H. C. Dixon, supervising prin-
cipal of this city, will be formally re-
moved from Office, but will imme-
diately after be reelected to continue
his present valuable services.
The compulsory school law leaves
the school age limit at II years, fixed
last year, but authorizes local school
boards to excuse from school attend
ance those under II and above the
factory age of Is years, who are COM
PEELED to work If they stop work
then they are compelled to go to
school Immediately.
