A School For Cats.

Lets play school," meowed Tabby.
"Yes, let's" answered the others.
So they made Tabby teacher, and the
fun began. The cats simply wouldn't
sit still, and then Farmer Jones' big.
fat, juicy chickens kept running up
and down, peeping In at the barn door.
"Um, how I'd relish a chicken pier

The lesson on the blackboard was

properly" All was going well until a
robin few into the barn and perched
itself saucily on rafter.
"Meowg cried Malty. 81 want It,"
'Meow!' said Ted. ''Pm hungry

glossy, leave the room for miscon-
duct"
In little while, just as Malty and
Ted we're planning their escape, Flossy
came in, carrying big fat mouse In
her mouth.
Presto, changei The schooIroom was
transformed into dining room. Away

Over went benches and desks! On to

rho soareorow Game.

A straw figure. completely dressed,
is fastened to tree in such way
that It hangs about foot from the
ground. He must have one arm fas-
tened akimbo to his side and the other
hanging free. After the players have
had their eyes bandaged and been fur
nished with stick the game begins.
The object is to thrust the stick
through the opening made by the arm
which Is fastened akimbo. Whoever
succeeds in doing so may claim a
prize. OF course it often happens that
the player misses and receives light
pat for clumsiness from the straw
mans hanging arm. If any player
misses the goal and passes the naughty
straw man the bandage is removed
and the player is considered out of the
game.

GRADE CROSSINGS AGAIN.

Once more we have the deadly
grade crossings. The fatal accident
near Woodbridge yesterday was at a
place where there are comparatively
few trains The Port Reading
branch Of the Philadelphia G Read
ing railroad is used only by coal
trains hauling coal from the mines
to tide water, and now and then an
empty engine. The crossing where
yesterdays accident occurred has
been used by hundreds of people and
seldom does one see train there.
The fact that there are SO few trains
has led some people. perhaps. to be
careless.
The fact that there are so few
trains, inviting people to be off their
guard, makes the crossing all the
more dangerous. But 1t is this very
fact that furnishes an excuse for the
railroad to refuse to afford proper
protection at the crossing. The re-
suit is that two lives were sacrificed
yesterday. How many more will
there be before the crossing is abol-
ished?
Nearly everybody is riding these
days. Those who do not own auto
mobiles ride with their friends.
There is hardly one person in a
thousand today who can say that he
has never been In an automobile.
This automobile traffic is constantly
increasing. Because of this the
grade crossings in New Jersey are
one OF the greatest sources Of dan
ger. No other matter is so pressing
upon the legislature as this. Even
after law is passed abolishing
crossings at grade it will take sever
al years before the desired result
can be accomplished. When are we
to make the start? How many more
lives are to be sacrificed? In the
meantime every crossing in the state,
no matter If they are used by but
Dne train day, should have some
warning, IL nothing more than bell
to ring at the approach Of danger,
AS has been shown, the crossings
that are used the least by trains are
apt to be the most dangerous. Pend
ing action abolishing grade crossings
altogether law should be passed
compelling the railroads to place
gates, a fiagman or some signal al
every crossing.

Cutting the Wedding Cake.

There Is a distinction In these days
between the brides cake and wedding
cake. The former has come to mean
that one is used at the rehearsal, while
the latter is served in boxes marked
with the initials Of bride and groom.
These boxes are usually flled with
fruit cake and served from side table
in the hall as each guest leaves after
the reception. If you do not wish half
your guests to 60 cakeless it is well
to have the boxes passed out by a
walter. The most liberal providing
will not cover greedy persons, who
take home four or Eve boxes apiece.
The brides cake proper is generally
served the night OF the rehearsal.
sometimes at the wedding breakfast.

Now that Mayor Whittpenn. of
Jersey City. has come out with a
declaration that he is a candidate
for the democratic nomination for
governor, the race becomes more
interesting. Whittpenn. like Senator
Sllzer. is a young man of independ-
ent tendencies He has not the rec
ord to back him that the Middlesex
man has. however, and of the two
we believe the voters OF the state

Good
Form

The well brought up child of today Is
easily distinguishable from the one
who has had no moral training. The
boy knows why he takes or his hat
to all women folk. 1t Is to make the
stronger sex-ail other boys-know that
1t must respect the weaker one and to
make womankind respect themselves,
for every honest boy, you know, is
the keeper and guardian OF every lit
tie girl, and If he does not protect her
when the occasion requires he is put
ting down his own sisters and all the
little daughters he may have himself
some day In danger. Besides, he Is
bunting his own fine and polite feel
ings, for q gallant and brave man is
invariably courteous and protecting to
woman, and when he fails her at the
time he is needed he is called a cow
ard.
The well brought up little girl does
the things in which she, too, has been
trained by wise parents. She respects
the manly prejudices of her little boy
friends; she does not tease them coarse
ly or say belittling things of their cour.
age and honor; she has modest
manner and by showing respect for
her elders helps the boys to follow her
example; she is so clean and tidy
about all her little person and In all
her little garments that the boys must
be clean and tidy out of very shame.
Ii for no other reason, and she ex-
presses no liking for anything that is
not spiritually uplifting and beautiful.
So, In way, the little girl must lead
juvenile society, just as the grownup
woman does the grownup kind. for
when she misbehaves she is giving all
boys permission to be as bad and
i unpleasant as they wish to be.
As for the small politenesses which
so clearly stamp the lady and gentle
man, If boy and girl get accustomed
to them in their early years they will
have them at their finger points at the
time when they are most necessary.
To learn to eat quietly is important
J and also how to do all the other small
things which compose table etiquette,
for polite conduct at table is the foun.
dalton Of proper breeding. Soup must
be drunk from the side Of the spoon
and not from the tip. Bread must be
, broken from the slice and conveyed
to the mouth in small pieces and moi
the whole piece bitten into. and wher

1t Ii usually q white cake or pound
cake feed with elaborate bridal de-
signs with white icing and contains
trinkets that are supposed to tell for
tunes.
These trinkets can be bought in fan
cy satin boxes, which contain a ring
for the next to wed, a penny for
wealth, thimble for the old maid, a
button for the old bachelor. Some Of
the more elaborate sets have tiny gold
charms, slippers. wedding bells and
hearts In addition.
The bride always cuts the first slice
of cake. If she has a military or
naval wedding the cutting is done
with the sword Of the groom. Brides
maids and ushers cut In turn.

The Black Death.

The terrible plague known as the

by way OF the great caravan route to
the north OF the Caspian, through cen
trail Asia to Tauris and on to Constan-
tinople. reaching Europe by 134s. 1t
ragged for more than twenty-six years,
with mortality that will never be
accurately known. and TO this day the
results OF its ravages are visible. The
disease was bubonic in character and
oftentimes was fatal within twenty
four hours after its attack. 1t was
attended by burning thirst that moth
ing could allay, and many of its char
actaristics were too horribl. to men,
ton. 1t is estimated that Ct least 25,-
100000 human beings persisted from
this great plague.
