FUTURE VALUES IN PALIsADE.
John A. Tallman Says Some Pertin-
ent Things of General Interest.

In a talk with John A Tallman,
who is building his ninth house in
Palisade, he was asked why he pinned
his faith to the Model Suburb. He re-
piled:
"One thing is certain. In buying
your home in Palisade it will never
be worth less The narrow strip of
plateau between the Hudson River
and the Hackensack Meadows extend
ing northward from Jersey City, oc-
cupies the same strategic position for
future values as does Manhattan ISL
and. The expansion can only be In
one direction and that northward, and
those who have watched the trend of
development in the section to our
south have noticed the rapid growth
toward Palisade. The day is not far
distant when Palisade. with its highly
restricted mile square OF woodland
park, beautiful artistic homes and
winding shady drives. will be sur
rounded by thickly populated city;
residentially private, and as refresh
ing in situation as Central Park IN
New York City"
Continuing, Mr. Tallman said:
1T needs no very great stretch of
imagination TO see Palisade occupy
ing this unique position when we con-
slider the rapid growth of other sub
urbs favored with good transit facih-
ties. Five years ago there wasn't a
single tunnel. and but one bridge con-
Meeting Long Island with Manhattan.
To-day everyone knows of the many
tracks now employed in carrying
thousands of commuters direct to and
from Long Island homes. We are
now entering upon new era of local
transit Improvement that has long
been overdue and the same energy will
be directed toward connecting Jersey
with Manhattan. When that time ar
riveS the PaliSade section, because of
its natural advantages as a home site,
its perfect drainage and altitude. will
be the cream of all residential local.
ties in nearby Jersey. And we don't
need so very much of an improve
ment TO realize this, One real rapid
transit line running on top OF the Pal
iSadeS, connecting with the Hudson
Tunnels would give us a service TO
downtown Manhattan equal TO the
Subway And this is bound TO come.
But don't wait for it. Buy now in
PaliSade while prices are still at pion-
eer rates; for they are still low COM
pared to other sections of similar
character near New York. and enjoy
the satisfaction OF owning your home
IN a community of genteel surround
ingS, where children can be reared in
an atmosphere Of refined companion
ship, and the gratifying assurance that
nothing can retard the steady advance
in the value OF your investment"

The President on Good Roads.

That the movement for road i'm
provement is approved by the Presi-
dent Of the United States is shown by
the following extract from a letter
written concerning the project Of
building highway from Washington
TO Richmond:
IL regard this as part OF the gen.
eral good roads movement in the
country. and have pleasure In say
ing that there is no movement that
know of that will have a more direct
effect to alleviate the difficulties and
burdens of the farmers life, will
stimulate the traffic, and add to the
general happiness of the people more
than the establishment of good roads
throughout the country.
II do not think that because this
may have been stimulated by people
using automobiles ii Is to be frowned
upon, for while persons using automo-
biles are by no means the most I'M
portant in the community, the fact
that their sharp interest has focused
the attention Of the public on the
movement entities them to credit"

Great Gamblers.

What men the gamblers OF the
great age were. There was Col. Mel
lish. that marvellous all-round sports
man and fine officer. who once staked
and lost 100000 on a throw OF the
dice. and in a single evening won
R197.OO0 1885, ,O00); there was Fox,
who was a ruined man at twenty-five,
although his father had paid E140,OOO
for him out OF his own property; there
was Lord Hastings. born out Of his
due time In the nineteenth century,
who was not only ruined but died at
twenty-six. and was understood to
have lost G14O,OO0 (s7O0000) on a sim
gle horse-race-a blow ne took with
complete GOODNESS.
From the curious betting-books at
Brooks's and Whites some quaint ex-
tracts are given. Lord MOntfort wa
gers Sir John Bland one hundred
guneas that Mr.. Nash outliyes Mr..
Cibber," both those personages being
at the time Q75D very Old men; yet
below the entry in Whites book ap'
pears the note. Both Lord NJ. and
Sir John put an end to their lives be-
fore the bet was decided" From
Brooks's book is quoted the wager OF
five hundred guineas that none of the

Bloodiest Battle.

There have been so many bloody
battles It is perhaps impossible to say
with absolute certainty which OF them
all was the "boodiest,' but the balance
Of the evidence seems to be in favor OF
the battle of Chalons, France, fought
A. d. 451. between the Huns. under
Attila. and the Romans, Goths and
Franks. under the command of Aetius,
the most renowned captain OF his day.
At the head of his half million OF saw
ages Attila was having everything his
own way. and it looked as II Aryan
civilization was destined to fall before
the Tartar despotism, when suddenly,
like the bolt out of the blue, Aetus fell
upon the barbaric hordes and Europe
was saved 1t is estimated that 4OO,'
600 of the barbarians were left dead
on the field.

BUTTONS THEY WEAR.
About 80 Per Cent. OF New York's
Men BeIonq to Some Society.

Any one who pays attention to the
appearance OF the folks he meets
when out walking is apt to notice the
number that sport lapel buttons OF
some sort. 1t looks as II about 90
per cent. OF the men in this city are
1oiners; they belong to some society
or other. The habit OF joining Is
matched by the desire to show the
token of the society.
Some man will come along with
Masonic button. Then there Will be
an Elk or so, an Eagle, a Forester,
sandwiched in between a couple or
high school buttons and closely foi-
lowed perchance by an emblem OF the
Knights Of Columbus.
The Holland Society lion appears
now and then, and there are Repuoii-
can club markers and indicators OF
membership in those pedigree institu-
tions which go back TO the Revolu-
tionary and subsequent wars. civil
war and Spanish war buttons are TO
be seen.
Occasionally the glance shifts from
lapel TO waistcoat as young man
comes wandering by with his hands In
his pockets. He Is very apt to display
a jewelled college fraternity pin

The Era of the Waterfalls.

One Of the most notable things In
the rapid march Of mechanical science
is the increasing use Of waterfalls for
the production of electric power. This
Is going on in all parts of the world,
and has resulted in an enormous IN
crease in the money value OF the falls.
Some one has estimated that Niagara
Falls. as producer of power, IS
worth s1.OOO,OOO,OOO. Waterfalls are
now driving tram-cars, lighting cities,
running factories, irrigating farms and
performing innumerable other SER
vices. often at a distance OF many
miles from the source of power. Italy,
abounding with waterfalls on the
slopes OF the Alps and the Apennines,
Is among the leaders in this advance.
In India it is proposed to derive $4,000
horsepower from the Doogh Sagar
River. at a point where its waters de-
scend about $500 feet.

SECRET CHRISTIANS OF TURKEY
Religious Services in Hidden Churches
and by Night.

When Islam swept Asia Minor
whole Christian neighborhoods were
forced TO accept the religion Of Mo-
hammed that they might escape the
sword. Most Of these converts ac-
cepted only the outward shell Of Islam,
so that there are to-day whole tribes
outwardly Mohammedan but in reality
more Christian or heather. a num-
Der of tribes among the Kurds. for
instance, are the descendants OF Ar
menians thus nominally converted to
Islam centuries ago.
Since the new Constitution Of Tur-
key processes to grant religious liberty
many of these people are attempting
to shake off the hated yoke of Islam
and the Young Turk Government finds
Itself face to face with the question
what attitude 1t should show toward
these attempts. At present the STAY
riots, as they are called, are making
great efforts to obtain their right.
The Stavriots who live in the neigh.
borhood of the cloisters Of Wasilu and
Peristera and within the diocese OF
Trapezunt, Erzerun, Neocaesarea
(Niksar) and Chaldia number about
$4,000. The Turkish Government con-
sidered them Mohammedan, but they
adhered secretly TO the ceremonies or
their former religion. They elected
their own Mohammedan teachers, but
they had also their own priests, who
performed marriage, baptism, and
other religious ceremonies in a hid
den church secretly and by night.
Each one of these Stavriots had two
names. a Christian and Mohamme-
dan. In the mosques they prayed
with the Turks but used Christian
prayers.
After the revolution they telegraph
ed the Young Turks and demanded
public recognition as Christians. This
recognition has not yet been granted
in spite of the fact that the new Turk
ish Government has promised COM

Narrow Country Roads.

Persons who are making study OF
good roads claim that the highways
of the United States are much too
wide. In Germany the roads average
from q TO 30 feet in width and car
ry an enormous amount OF traffic
while IN our open country; In the
western states where traffic is CON-
paratively light We make the roads 80
10 60 feet wide out of land worth 500
per acre, and allow three-fourths OF
the highway to grow up in weeds.
