Poking Fun at New Jersey.

Washington Herald: Not all of the
weather wisdom is centred in the bureau
at Washington. Old-fashioned methods
are respected in New Jersey. Accord
ing to farmer seer in that State, we
are going to have "a rip-roaring win
ter" which, being translated means
stormy and cold. His corn is growing
long whiskers, perhaps like his own.
His sunfowers blossomed early, indi-
eating a blizzard brewing somewhere in
the future. Prognostic maize Then
his short apple crop shows that the
trees are saving their sap against hard
weather. The cabbage heads protect
themselves with leaves thick and tough.
There are other prophets who base
predictions on the bark Of trees, the mi
grating of birds and the industrious in
sight of the squirrel. These, of course,
are long distance indicators, not bearing
on the weather of the morrow or of next
week. But New Jersey remains place
of rural lore, despite its situation be-
tween two great cities and its seaside
population and recurrent liquor problem
in summer

Crop and Agricultural Bulletin.

II is not possible at this date to make
reliable estimate of the yields Of the
various crops throughout the State, for
the reason that the growing season has
been SO varied throughout. Protracted
wet and cool weather in the early spring,
followed by severe drought, has reduced
the yields Of potatoes and market garden
crops-corn and fruit. 1t is doubtful
if white potatoes will reach sixty-6ve
per cent. of an average good yield.
Corn is reduced approximately twenty
five per cent. Tomatoes, favored by
timely rain, have yielded to excess,
and prices, where not contracted tor
early, have been reduced below the
profit line. Sweet potatoes, if not in
jured by early frost, may give an aver
age crop, Peaches, where trees are
properly cared for, yielded well and
brought paying prices
The late rains have revived fall pas
lures and given fall seeded grain and
grass a good start.

COLUMBUS DAY.

With Columbus Day added to the
list, the number OF legal holidays in
New Jersey is sufficiently lengthy.
We start the year with celebration
and day off, and before February
has got far under way We honor Lin
coin with another holiday In Feb
ruary, also, Washington's memory IS
kept green. Then Casually some time
in March) comes Good Friday and,
for the schools, the Easter holidays.
The month OF May brings US Memo
rial Day, and only about month later
we have the Glorious Fourth. Aug
ust is the month of vacations, and our
citizens are hardly home again before
Labor claims its annual tribute of a
day in September. October is now
tagged with Columbus Day and dur
ing November we take day off to
give thanks to Him from whom all
blessings flow. General Election da
is also a legal holiday. The round oil
holidays winds up with Christmas
There are only two or three months il
twelve when our work is not broken by
days festival of some sort
Ten States have fallen in line with
the movement to honor the great dis.
coverer. In New Jersey cloud has
been cast upon the cons,itutionality o
the Columbus Day law, but Governor
Fort, supported by the Attorney Gen
eral, has properly advised that the Law
is binding till it has been duly set asid
by the courts and no appeal with tina
end in view has been made.

DREAM INSPIRATION.
Intellectual Achievements Born Of
Visions In Sleep.

Intellectual Achievements Born Of
Visions In Sleep.
1t Is well known. says II. Addington
Bruce in Success Magazine, that
dreams have stimulated men to re-
markable intellectual achievements
and have even supplied the material
for these achievements. Thus Cole
ridge composed "Kublai Khan" in a
dream. Tartini got his Devils So
nata" from dream in which the devil
appeared and challenged him to mu-
steal competition. 1t was dream that
gave voltaire the first canto of his
"Henriade." and Dante's 'Divina Com
media" is likewise said to have been
inspired by dream.
Many novelists on their own admis-
sion have obtained the plots for some
Of their best works from materials
provided in dreams. A particularly
impressive instance is that of Robert
Louis Stevenson. whose "Chapter on
Dreams" in his book "Across the
Plains should be read by all who
would learn what dreams can do for a
man intellectually. The solution of
battling mathematical problems. the
ideas necessary to complete some in
vention. have been supplied by dreams.
Occasionally the dreamer has been
known to rise in his sleep and jot
down the information thus acquired.
In such cases he usually forgets all
about the helpful dream and on awak-
Ing is greatly surprised at finding the
record he has made Of 1t. which show
that-as with the visions so potently
influencing health-it is possible for
dreams to aid a man in an intellectual,
way without his being consciously
aware OF them.

The Democratic candidate for Assem-
bly,, John J. Mathews, within three
weeks has written to Frank Burke,
State Superintendent of the Anti
Saloon League, saying he will vote for
the Local Option Bill MS presented in
the Senate last year if the same is pre-
scented in the Assembly provided he is
elected thereto. We fear this declara-
ton has come little late and he is
tardy in assuming the policy long since
adopted by the Republican Party.
What is his record?
He represented Union County in the
Assembly of 1887 and 1888. In 1855
Assembly Bill No. 1896 authorized Ii
eense for the sale of Intoxicating liq-
uors. MIR. MATTHEW'S VOTED
YES.

sell intoxicating liquors without Ii
cense, known rs Senate Bill No. l2

VOTED NO.

TION BILL, Assembly Bill No. 36.
which contained the wishes of the best
people of the State, granting the priv
ilege to the people of a locality to vote
for or against the licensing of intoxi-
eating liquors was up for final vote.
Mr.. Matthews opposed the Bill from
the beginning and voted emphatically
NO. After this final vote the oppon-
ents of the Bill moved to reconsider
and Mr.. Mathews voted in favor there
of but which did not prevail.
Governor Green vetoed this Bill and
MR.. MATTHEW'S VOTED TO SUS-
TAIN THE VETO and thus kill the
Bill The Bill, however, became a
law over the Governors veto by the
same vote which passed it in the first
place, 80 Republicans and 2 Democrats
in the Assembly, and Mr.. Matthews
was not one of these.
Hunterdon voted dry under this law
but the next winter the Legislature
was controlled by the Democratic Par
ty and they repealed it and John J.

tial position of Clerk Of the Assembly,

Easton Argus: Is the cutting out OF
the appendix to be classed in years to
come with the bleeding mania Of years
gone by1 Is the operation for append
citis an actual necessity or surgical
fad ? Here are two interesting questions
which arise from the somewhat startling
statement of DIR. Charles +. Page, Of
Boston, who comes out with the declar-
alton that the surgical operation tor the
removal Of the appendix should be
called criminal operation and pro-
hihited by law. DIR. Page will doubt
less find many to favor his way of think
ing. The use OF the surgeons knife al
ways has its opponents. In the face Of
the worldwide resort to the operation
in appendicitis cases it looks as though
DIR. Page is rather extreme in his views,
at any rate the surgeons claim to point
to proportion Of cures large enough
to offset fatalities following the opera
ton.

A Man Who Seemed Always to Be
Ready For Emergencies.
To be ready for emergencies was one
of the gifts OF DIR. Samuel Gridley
Howe. the great teacher of the blind,
writes his daughter, Mrs. Laura e.
Richards. who has edited his Letters
and Journals" She gives several in
stances in which his quick action pre-
vented serious accidents.
Once at Green Peace my father was
going to drive with my mother and my
sister Florence in closed carriage
with large window in front.
AS the driver was mounting the box
he dropped his whip and got down to
recover it. This startled the young
horses. and they bottled down the
driveway.
My father tried to open the big VIM
dow. but it stuck fast. He flashed
through the plate glass as il 1t had
been paper and. catching up the reins,
stopped the runaways in less time than

tor" quietly shaking the bits of glass
from his coat and hat and explaining
to my terrified mother that he event
so quick there was no time to get cut"
Still another memory of my mothers
shows his quickness in a different
way. He was walking along Washing
ton street one day when furious dog
rushed at him and bit his hand severe
ly.
There was no Pasteur institute in
the forties My father instantly raised
up the skin and flesh Of the bitten part
and, holding it firmly. entered the
nearest apothecary's shop.
'Cut this piece or" he said briefly.
The apothecary exclaimed In horror.
He could not. he would not. without a
surgeons order. 1t was out Of the
question.
II am surgeon" said my father.
"and command you to cut it on"
1t was cut of. My father dressed
the wound with his other hand and
went about his business.
