Schooner Comes Here To

China and Wilhelmina Coming
Tuesday.


Tuesday.
The Matson liner Wilhelmina and
the Pacific Mail liner China left San
Francisco yesterday, and are both
due to arrive here on Tuesday next.
OF course there will be no question
of a race between them, as that is
prohibited by both companies, but
it will be interesting to see which
boat will arrive first, or make the
faster time. The China is one of
the crack liners of the Pacific Mail
fleet, but she is known as a coal
eater. Along the waterfront it is
conceded that she is an excellent old
boat and speedy, but it is asserted
that if ever she took to racing she
would have to have a consort to car
ry coal for her. The Wilhelmina is
an oil burner, but she is not looked
upn as a fast boat, as speed is con
sidered nowadays. One authority on
the waterfront stated one day that if
the China were equipped to burn oil
she would be about one of the fast
est boats on the Pacific ocean. Some
of the crew of the China have been
looking forward to the pleasure Of
seeing both these boats leave togeth-
er, as the China always makes good
time. The Wilhelmina received a two
hours start. as she left at noon.

There used to be an aged elevator
man who operated one of the lifts In
the house wing of the capitol. Most
of his passengers were either repre-
sentatives or newspaper correspond
ents. The old man got to know all
Of the correspondents very well and
always had a cheerful greeting for
them. 1t was often noticed, too, that
he seemed TO he erantlv interested In
their conversation.
One afternoon, as three of them step
ped out Of the elevator, Serene Payne
Of New York stepped in. AS the car
went down the old elevator man turn
ed and said:
Mr.. Payne, l can't understand
about those newspaper men. They
puzzle me-"

to another and say, What do you

This BURGLARS Umbrella.

Among q collection Of articles used
by burglars when engaged In their ne
fariOus calling is n particular con-
t~rivance that arouse great interest.
In appearance 1t resembles a large
umbrella that has seen hard service.
1t was formerly the property Of a bur-
glar, and it was by it's means that he
was able to enter the second story of a
building. Removing the cover, q stick
wound with ropes is revealed. The
stick opens like a telescope or a joint
ed fishing rod. Wound round it Is a
rope ladder made Of strong material
and about thirteen feet In length. The
ladder is only wide enough for one
foot to be placed on the rungs. The
extending stick was used to raise one
end of the ladder to the window
through which the operator wished to
enter, and on the upper end of the
ladder are two hooks to be fastened
to the sill. This imitation umbrella Is
regarded as one of the most ingenious
ever made use Of by a thief

Old Time Strawberries,

Strawberries have improved very
much in flavor since the fifteenth CEN
fury. Until then the only strawber-
ries eaten were wild strawberries Of
a kind which would never find a mar
ket nowadays. By 1880, however, they
were beginning to be cultivated, for
Holinshed records under that date a
particularly fine crop grown by the
bishop Of Ely in the grounds Of his
palace, now covered by Hatton garden.
He quotes the Duke of Gloucester as
saying to the bishop: MY lord, you
have very good strawberries in your
garden IN Holborn. l require you to
let US have d mess of them" This
speech was copied almost verbatim by
Shakespeare in Richard Ill" Still,
even the bishops fruit would not ap-
peal much to modern connoisseurs, for
the garden strawberries at that period
were only transplanted w%ildlings, the
plants being sold at about fourpence
a bushel.-London Standard

Wonderful Animslcuise.

OF all the minute creatures that In
habit this globe unseen by the naked
eye there is none 80 astonishing, ac-
cording to the Scientific American, as
the little living things that live in
stagnant water. They are c tlled slip
per animalculae, or, as the scientist
has it, the paramecium. These tiny,
Invisible things develop so rapidly that
If they were able to live through $50
generations they would crowd every
other living thing off the face of the
earth and form q mass larger than the
planet itself. Should they go on re-
producing until the nine hundredth
generation these little creatures would
form a mass large enough to crowd
the moon and stars and even the sun
entirely out Of space. Luckily for US
this is not possible, according to na-
lures decree. The paramecium dies
after 1t has attained the one hundred
and SEVENTEEN generation, and so the
awful possibilities are checked of its
multiplying to fill the universe.

Saucers and Finger Bowls.

Drinking from the saucer was not a
social solecism seventy-fve years ago.
In fact, sets of old china may still be
found intact that include dainty tab
loids upon which the cup was to rest
while the contents, taken from the
saucer, were imbibed and from the at
tending noise apparently almost in
hailed by the drinker. One spoon was
regarded as sufficient for all courses
of food as well as drink, and the over
worked knife did duty both for cutting
and carrying. AS for finger bowls, did
not the late Senator Tom Benton con-
fde to his diary that his first expert
ence with them was at a dinner given
by President Van Buren,? The presi-
dent" said he, dipped his fingers dain-
lilly in the bowl and dried them upon
his napkin, but l rolled up my sleeves
and took d good old fashioned wash"

RSBURY PARK PLAmSA
WESLEY LAKE CARNIVAL

Asbry Park, July 25:-The car
nival on Wesley Lake, which was to
have taken place last Friday ana was
postponed until Wednesday night on
account of the weather, has again
been postponed. This time the car
nival commission promises that un-
less the weather is unfavorable 1t
will certainly be held Friday evening.
The reason for this change is that
the Ocean Grove Compmeeting Asso-
citation asked that another night be
chosen, because Clarence Eddy, the
organist, will play in the Auditorium
Wednesday evening and the carnival
would keep many people away.
Colonel John w. Aymar, to whom
Director Tall Esen Morgen applied
for the postponement, readily con-
sented to do SO. This is to be the
first carnival of the season at which
the canoes, the boats and the houses
along the shore will be decorated.
Prizes are to be awarded the best
decorated boat. There will also be
fireworks and Pryor's band will fur
nish the music.

Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles Wants Reciprocity.

Trenton, July 25:-The New York
legislature, having adjourned vita
out passing any legislation in the
way of automobile reciprocity, Com
missioner of Motor Vehicles j. 3. r.
Smith yesterday announced that he
had issued an order disseminating
every automobile agency in New
York state with the single exception
of the headquarters of the AutOmo-
bile Club of America, of New York
city. The commissioner likewise is
sued an order directing all other
agencies not to issue any more eight
day tourists licenses to residents OF
New York. The order of the com
mission puts New York state in the
same class as Pennsylvania, orders
having ben issued some time ago re-
fusing to residents of that state the
privilege of obtaining an e~ight-day
tourists license.
Hereafter II residents CT New
York, Pennsylvania OF Delaware de-
sire to use New Jersey roads they
will be compelled to take out IL regu-
lar annual license. When Commits
sioner Smith revoked the order al
IOM1uS ShLog uAu 49,
residents to partake Of the eight day
tourists privilege, he hoped That be-
fore the New York Legislature ad-
journed they would enact some sort
of legislation that would tend to
meet New Jersey half way. The
legislature, however, did not seem
to pay any attention to the warning
from New Jersey, hence the order
from the commissioner. A like or
der may be issued to affect residents
of Massachusetts In case the legisla-
ture of that state %adjourns without
making any overtures to New jersey
in the way of reciprocity.
In explaining why he did not dis
continue the agency at the Automo-
bile Club of America In New York,
Commissioner Smith said that the
club had endeavored to bring about
some sort of an arrangement where
by the two states could get together
the automobile question and had
aided him in every move he
made in the matter, and for this
reason he did not desire to inCon-
venience the club, as it only issued
licenses to its members. The u
censes In this case, however, are to
be at the regular yearly rate.
While the commissioner did not
so in so many words, he intima-
ted that If 1t we're possible he would
Ike to have made his order SO the
members of this club could partiCi-
pate In the eight-dGy tourists license
privilege.

The Medicine Bottle,

In order to avert the most serious
thing Of having a child take the wrong
medicine, mothers should adhere to the
following rules:
Never give medicine in the dark.
Always read the label on the bottle.
Never go by the color of the medi-
cine.
When the bottle is refIled see that
the label reads clear.
Keep poisons locked up.
Keep all bottles locked up in a draw
er or medicine chest.
Mistakes of giving children carbolic
acid and such like poisOns in the night
time make it imperative that mothers
study and adhere to these rules, for
sometimes such inadyertent mistakes
bring about terrible conclusions.-Cin-

Why Gold Is a Precious Metal.

Pure or fine gold will stand any test
1t may be put to in comparison with
other metals. 1t Gun be rolled or ham,
mered, extending It in any direction,
until It becomes transparent. 1t can
also be drawn into a thread as fine as
human hair. 1t melts at about 1000
degrees B., and, though 1t may be kept
in a molten state for an indefinite
time, 1t loses none of Its weight, oven
should the heat be increased. The COL
or is unaffected by air, water or heat
and will stand any test of oxidation.
No simple acid will dissolve or attack
pure gold. In conjunction with silver
gold is the first metal with which man
became acquainted and is the most
valuable by reason Of the vast number
of uses to which it Is put. 1t is found
In almost every country in a metallic
state and nearly always In crystals.
The old Egyptian symbol for gold sig
nifed divinity and perfection. The
chemical term used today is aurum.-
