Vincent Azzara Has Placed the Pro-
duct of His Mind on Exhibition.

Vincent Azzara Has Placed the Pro-
duct of His Mind on Exhibition.
A general refuse receptacle, recently
invented by v. Azzara has been placed
on exhibition and in pactical use in
front of the railroad depot building on
Morris street. The general construc-
tion of the receptacle is altogether a
new innovation in that line Of public
and household commodities, and it
certainly tends to improve health and
cleanliness. The main feature of the
invention is that all the rubbish and
refuse thrown into the receptacle will
always remain under cover and in as a
sanitary condition as it is possible and
at no time, either by accident or by
neglect, may the receptacle be left
open and its contents exposed. Mo G.
over the receptacle is Of the hygieniC
sort in the true sense Of the word, be
cause everything being under cover
it attracts no flies, insects or mosqui
toes, and neither does it expose food for
them to feed upon.
In order to Kill all bad and foul odol
and prevent the breeding of germs in
the receptacle, the inventor has
equipped same with disinfectant box
on the inside of the receptacle. TAX
ing everything pertaining to the in
vention into consideration, it is an
ideal garbage receptacle for the house
hold, and very useful and indispens-
able commodity for the store keeper
and for public places as well. The re-
ceptable may be placed in the kitchen
as well as on tile lawn, and in public
places, it may be placed in parks, in
front Of stores, or against any wall or
building, as it's general appearance is
rather ornamental and not an eye-Sore
as is the case with the ash-caus we now
use. Members OF the local board OF
health, Mr.. Cole, our street commits
sioner; George q. Smith, president Of
the Morristown Civic association, and
other prominent citizens who have
examined the receptacle have one and
all commended it, and have also ex-
pressed the desire of seeing it adopted
by everyone in town. Application for
a paten5 has already been filed at
Washington, d. @.

received from the Lord Jesus, to tes-
tify the gospel Of the grace Of God"
Theme Nobility Of soul.
The unselfish devotion and noble
sacrifice which the memories of Me-
mortal Day recall afford Illustrations
OF personal nobility. We meet it also
in common life. In the Apostle Paul
we see it finely exemplitied in its high
est realization.
The words in which Paul tells us
the secret of his life disclose three es-
sential elements in nobility of soul.
The first is a conviction in the realm
of the largest values, a conviction
strong enough to call forth willing
sacrifice. The second is aspiration
along the line of the highest duty.
The third is a personal witness to
and revelation of the eternal and the
divine, in word and life.
