The Chance Acquaintance.

The question is often asked about recognizing the man er woman whom uneonventionality has allowed one to meet. There can be no set rule For instance. man may have rendered some great assistance in an accident or have protected you from rudeness in public. In this case 1t would be impossible to pass such chance ac- quaintanee without civil nod or 8 smile of recognition should you hap pen to meet him again. But it must be remembered that in all cases an in- troduetion is in order before friend- ship can begin.
 Always remember that you do not know the mere acquaintance. Be eau tious and endeavor to swing the con- versatfon Into impersonal channels. Men often laugh at the foolish girl who pours out her childish enthusi- asms into their unsympathetic ears. Never talk or act in such a way as will cause shame or regret in the calm consideration of the next day.

 Specializing on the Farm.


 There promises to be revolution in methods of farming not only In order to greatly increase the product but to utilize land hitherto regarded as useless for raising anything on II that would afford profit, and make it to yield val uablc crops, particularly. in New Eng. land.
 The general government, the State governments, the Agricultural Colleges and Agricultural Societies, are each and all laboring in their several fields to make this great promise n reality
 The NJ massachusetts, Agricultural Col lege has issued pamphlet in which 1t calls attention to the unsurpassed op- portuuities for apple culture through out nearly the whole of New England soil, climate, low prices for land and nearness to market, are all advantages which cannot be taken away. What they need To supplement them k know ledge of the vast varieties of fruit 10 raise. proper cultivation, better meth- ods ot handling and packing, and then neighborhood cooperation in market ing.
 The Connecticut Agricultural College has undertaken To supplement the na- tural resources for fruit raising by prac- tical demonstrations how 10 trim the trees to produce the greatest amount of fruit, and then how to spray them to protect the fruit from injurious in- sects. Some marvellous results from these demonstrations are reported. One old orchard. which the owner deemed so worthless IS tit only to be cut down for lumber and tirewood, was trimmed and sprayed and yielded an abundant crop of fine fruit.
 In Connecticut, as in most of the New England States, a large part of the land Is iit only for the growing ot trees. N here fruit trees would not be profitable 10 plant, then forest trees should be set out. and will well repay the owner, Many countries on the Com tlnent are greatly in adVa anccd of this country In forest culture for profit, but We afe fapdidls advancing.

Relation -in-Ias Duties.

When a girl marries It is the duty of her husbands family to give at least one reception in her honor. that she may meet their friends and be made welcome.
 And 1t should not be forgotten that. even if the choice is what may be termed distasteful to his family. man marries to suit himself. and it is a reflection upon all of them if they do not try to make the best of the matter and prevent remarks that are not complimentary. Such a course is far the more dignified for mother and sisters of the man to take. and at the earliest opportunity 1t Is proper to give reception. inviting personal friends to meet the new relation-in- law.
 Usually such an affair is held at night. fin order that the men of those families invited may be present.. Then cards are issued in the name of tho father and mother of the bridegroom.

Trenton, Jan. 4:-Vice-Chancel-
Tor Walker filed an injunction re-
straining the Hudson County Water
Company from laying pipes under
the Kill Won Kull for the purpose of
supplying Staten Island with water
from driven wells at Belleville. The
opinion establishes three facts. name
", that the state is the owner of the
land between high water mark and
the boundary line between New York
and New Jersey; that the river and
harbor act of 1899 empowering the
secretary of war to grant a license

tide waters of the United States is a
mere regulation for the benefit of
commerce and navigation and not
authority to do the work in the alb
sence OF state consent; and that the
laying of pipes is beyond the corpor-
ate powers Of the Hudson County
Water Company. The decision is re-
garded as a distinct victory for the
state, the opinion sustaining all the

Sc III VERDICT

hoessIer & Hass!acher Chem
icaI Company Loses The
Smell Case.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
New Brunswick, Jan. 14:-After
an hours deliberation the jury
| which heard the damage suit of Mr..
and Mrs. Stanislaus Dregler against
the Roessler & Hasslacher Chemical
Company, of Perth Amboy, return
ed a verdict of $610 for the plaintiff
Yesterday afternoon. The jury on
the first ballot voted for the de-
fendant and the deliberation was
caused in reaching an amount. This
damage is to cover two years only,
from March, 1907 to 1903.
While the verdict is comparative
ly small it means much to the de-
fendant company, as four other suits
of similar nature are pending
against the company and there Is
nothing to prevent the suits from
perpetually bobbing up year after
year. as long as the odors from the
chemical plant are Objectionable to
the neighbors. The same sort or
case has been threshed out in the
local courts and the United States
courts before and the company has
lost
Alan H. Strong, in his appeal to
the Jury for the defense, held that
industries should not be driven from
the county by such suits. He held
that the county should encourage
industries to locate here, instead OF
harassing them and making 1t un-
profitable to stay here.
Senator George S. Silzer, for the
plaintiff, dwelt with considerable
emphasis upon the sanctity Of the
home. He pictured the poor plain
tiffs. laying away a little every week
for eight years until they had ac-
ouired their modest home among
congenial neighbors, convenient to
their church and the school where
they are educating their children.
Then the chemical company comes
along and makes their home intol-
erable by a stencil, rendering them
ill. practically running the value OF
their property.
The defense had introduced testi-
mony showing that a portion of the
plant complained of Is owned and
operated by the Perth Amboy, Chem
ical Company, a New Jersey corpor-
alton, distinct from the Roessler
Hasslacher Company. Senator Sill
ger held that this was simply
dodge to evade responsibility. When
Roessler & Hasslacher are sued, he
argued, they claim that the odors
come from the Perth Amboy com
pany, while IL the Perth Amboy
company should be sued. they would
claim that the odors came from
Roessler & Hasslacher's.
Judge Lloyd told the jury that 1t
would have TO decide this point and
refused a request to charge the de-
PENDANTS were not responsible for
odors that came from the Perth Am
boy Company's plant.
The court instructed the jury that
the plaintiff was obliged to show,
before they could recover that the
odors, loud noises and lights COM
planned of had materially and sub
stantially impaired their enjoyment
of their home. He pointed out that
in this mixed factory and residence
section the air would not be as pure
as in the country away from all fac
tories and that parties living there
are obliged to submit to some i'm
purities of the air but are not re-
ouired to submit to a condition
