Post once Cats Are To Get Grub.

Although this is the day of reduc-
ton of governmental expenses, Post
master General Hitchcock does not
overlook the value OF the cat in the
postal service. He has authorized the
allowance to be made for the support
OF cats in the large Offices OF the
country. The cost OF their mainten-
ance comes ont Of the annual appro-
priation made by congress- for "mis-
cellaneous items aud incidentals me-
cessary to Offices OF the first and SEQ
ond classes
During the present fiscal year the
department will expend approximate
ly $135 for "cat meat"
Cats are recognized by the depart
ment as employees, and carried on the
rolls. Throughout the county they
are used in the various post Offices to
minimize the depredations of rats and
mice.

TWO MEN AND A TIP.

An incident In q Broadway Lunch
Room In New York.
A business man who In his univer-
sity days had been devoted student
of ethics sat down In a lower Broad
way lunch room few days ago and
saw something that awakened n par
ticular train of thought In channels
unused since his student days.
Directly opposite him two men were
finishing their midday meal. One. n
sprucely dressed chap. slipped his last
drop Of coffee. placed dime on the
table in front Of his empty cup and
walked out. The other, equally well
dressed, took little longer time over
his coffee before preparing to go.
Then just rs he was about to rise he
furtively passed his hand over to the
dime In front of his former neighbours
plate and moved 1t to position In
front Of his own. He then walked
hastily out. The waiter moment
later picked up the dime, noting be-
fore whose plate 1t was, and cleaned
away the dishes, mumbling the while.
Now the former college man is Won
dering whether this is not case where
he can aptly apply those words of
Shakespeare, "Who steals my purse
steals trash, but he that
filches from me my good name robs
me Of that which not enriches him
and makes me poor indeed. New

"Nisi Prius,"


People often ask the meaning Of the
legal expression "nisi prius." Literally
interpreted, 1t means unless before"
a name given to the slttings Of court
for the trial Of civil causes. Judges
on circuit, besides trying prisoners,
have the power to give decisions In
causes Of complaints between private
parties and when SO acting arc called
judges of ''nisi prIus." Formerly,
when the circuits were less frequent.
the sheriff was commanded "by writ
to bring the jury and witnesses from
the county where the action arose to
Westminster, Gloucester or Winchester
on certain day, but when the assizes
became frequent ''nisi prius" clause
was inserted in the writ containing
these words: Unless before that day
our justices shall come to your county
and take the assizes there" As 1t hap
pened that the assizes always did take
place before the date named in the
writ, the clause was practically useless
and now remains only as a name for
those civil causes to which until re-

FARMERS DEMAND INSTITUTES

Franklin Dye, secretary of the State
Board Of Agriculture, states that the
demand for farmers institutes has in
creased, Notwithstanding the instruc-
ton given last year by means of trains
over the Pennsylvania Railroad.
The statement has been printed that
it might be necessary to give fewer
farmers institutes and more instruc-
ton by train. This, the secretary says
is not true. Through the lessons
taught by the sixty.one lectures given
last year the farmers have been made
to realize the need OF scientific work
in their line. They now wish to learn
more, and the demand for farmers in
stitutes at the present time is greater
than the State Board can supply.
1t is the present plan of the Board
of Agriculture to give about the same
number Of train lectures as last year.
The details for the program have not
yet been arranged.

Pengelley, and he had remembered. too,
that he was kindly old man. There
wasn't the slightest probability, he
thought, that the postmaster was still
alive. but his acquaintance with the
former incumbent might smooth things
a little with the new one, SO that the
whereabouts Of people to whom he had
been directed would be made known.

SAY BLAST DIDN'T DAMAGE PROPERTY

Whether or not 1923 pounds of dyna-
mite exploded last Saturday by order
of the Court of Chancery in the quarry
of the Delaware River Quarry and
Construction Company, above Lam
bertville, provided evidence sufficient
to warrant the issuing of an injunction
restraining future blasting is the ques-
ton being threshed out today be-
fore Vice Chancellor Walker at the
State House. The hearing is in the
suit of Mrs. Eva l.. Parent against the
company named. She seeks an in
junction on the claim that the heavy
blasts of dynamite are damaging her
home and making her i'll. Following
the first hearing, when there was con-
Trajectory testimony, Vice Chancellor
Walker made the order for the trial
test last Saturday.
The blast Saturday was set off in six
charges, holes being drilled in the face
of the rock more than twenty feet deep
and several sticks of dynamite being
placed in each. Besides counsel in the
case. several witnesses who had been
summoned for the purpose of observa-
ton, were present. They testified
today. They were William II. Run
Won, builder and contractor of Flem-
ington; Frederick Parker, of Lambert
willie and Lawyer A. G. Hulsizer, Of
Pennington.
The testimony showed that the trial
blast of Saturday caused no damage to
the home of Mrs. Parent, which is
1850 feet distant from the. quarry.
The defense claims the house is old
and in bad condition and that the
damage charged by the plaintiff to the
blasting is due to the age of the build
ing. Mr.. Runyon testified, however,
that the house is well constructed of
stone, the walls being eighteen inches
thick. He said the mortar, plaster
and other parts were in fair condition,
except that some of the beams Of the
first floor have rotted away, due to
dampness, and have been shored mp
with posts.
Counsel for the plaintiff exhibited to
the court samples Of plaster which
Mrs. Parent claims were blown from
the walls of huge stone chimney,
making it dangerous to build a fire.
This damage was in the attic where
the chimney had been coated with
thick mortar. Mr.. Runyon said the
plaster seemed to be in good condition.
Pieces OF window glass were also shown
which it is charged were shattered by
the general blasting.

There was time when the farmers
OF New Jersey raised cattle to supply
the butchers, but they could not COM
pete with range cattle and raising for
slaughter ceased. 1t is believed that
the time is not far distant when the
high value OF cattle will tempt farmers
generally to raise cattle again and the
price will come down in proportion to
their effort. 1t is doubtful, however,
If the price will ever go down to the
figures Of ten years ago, for the farm
ers will not raise enough to Offset the
loss Of range cattle plus the natural
increase in demand.

The chestnut crop in New Jersey,
generally speaking, is not as good this
year as 1t has been in former years.
This is due to the disease which has
been preying ON chestnut trees in the
eastern States for the last few years.
The disease causes the trees to decay
and die, and the farmers are cutting
down the affected trees to prevent the
disease attacking healthy trees. The
nuts that have been gathered are quite
small and wormy.
