Cursinu In Korea.

A strange way Of cursiDg is that of
the Korean. His ordinary wear word
is "Oenuma," or You brute" The
Japanese have the same Partially for
this term Of endearment. But accord
Ing to the Oriental Economic Review
the Korean considers himself especial
ly abusive when he calls a person his
child or grandchild. When he wants
to call somebody down the Korean
demands holly, Are you not my
childf" And the angry retort is:
WHAT l your child7 You are my
grandchild." Then the first goes a
step further and cries, you are a
grandchild Of my grandchild' to
which the rejoinder Is: You conceit-

OrIoip Of Dukea.

The word duke comes from the Latin
"dux," a leader. In early Saxon times
the commanders OF armies were called
dukes-i e., the leaders Of the soldiery.
In other words, the first duke was the
first best fighting a No regard was
had to ancestry or present attainmepts
or any other sort Of thing beyond the
simple matter of warlike efficiency.
Naturally the leader Of the fighting
would when the fighting was over come
In for the lions share Of the spells and
"honors," and naturally again the rest
of the folks would look up" 70 him,
and by degrees his superiority would
be impaired to bis family, and a mo
bility' would spring into being. 1t all
rested, to start with, on brute force and
animal courage combined with cunning

Servants In Turkey,

Turkey Is not nearly so benighted as
we imagine, for there is no servant
question there. Though slavery Is still
recognized, the kadun (mistress Of the
house, is a mother to her servants,
whom she treats as children, and no
children In the world are better treated
than Turkish children. The most pain
full thing the kadun can do to a maid
is to say: "The master has found a
good husband for thee. Thou wilt be
married at such and such a time"
"Oh, mistress, what have ! done to
be thus abandonedT" Is the usual sor
rowful response.
Even after the servants marriage the
kindly relations between mistress and
maid continue. There are no 1xed
servant wages In Turkey. Faithfu,
servants are rewarded from time te
time In accordance with their masters
or mistresses' good pleasure or circum'
stances.-Chicago Journal.

u CELEBRATION.

Perth Amboy will have her second
safe and sane Fourth of July cele-
bration tomorrow. While last years
event was a great success, to-mor-
row promises to be still better and
there is every reason to believe that
the safe and sane" Fourth will be-
come a permanent feature in celebra-
ting the nations birthday in this
city. Every year sees and
more cities adopting the idea and 1t
will not be long before the old prac-
tice of blowing ~children's eyes out
and their arms and legs off, not to
mention killing them, either outright
or through the slower but more hor-
rible process of lockjaw, will be abol-
ished entirely. 1t is one of the
things that Perth Amboyans can feel
proud of, that this city was among
the first to adopt the reform.
The credit for the success of the
new style of celebration in Perth Am
boy is due Mayor Bollschweiler and
the energetic committee which he
named. The people have responded
literally to the appeal for financial
aid. without which the celebration
could not be carried on. With the
$500 appropriated by the city sutt1-
Gent money has been raised to make
the celebration one long to be re-
membered.
Perth Amboy has the reputation Of
having a large foreign population
But, Judging from the amount of
money raised for a Fourth Of July
celebration in other cities, supposed
to be more American, the patriotism
here is much more in evidence.
Perth Amboy believes thoroughly in
a safe and sane" celebration. This
is manifested by the way the people
respond to the appeal for money to
make the celebration a success. The
ambulances are not kept on the run
all day here, and the fire department
goes on parade instead Of taking
extra precautions to fight fires.
Altogether, the Fourth of July in
this city promises to be a very aus
picious occasion. We are all going
to enjoy ourselves to our hearts con
tent and we are not going to have
our children MANNED and blinded for
life either.

done now and the city, when Sheri-
dan street is paved, will replank the
extreme north end of the structure.
1t is up to the Board of Freehold
ers to see that these various stretch
es OF repianking are connected for
the full length of the bridge. The
slope leading down to the spans on
the north shore is particularly bad.
1t is due to the county that the whole
bridge be replanked, for the remain
der of the main road to the shore
where it passes across Middlesex, is
being put in first class condition.
When the criticism of this highway
is again written we do not want the
reputation of this county married by
a short stretch on the Amboy bridge.
Considering the fact tina both ap-
proaches are being put in excellent
shape without cost to the county,
and that even a part of the bridge
IL to be replanked at the expense
of the city of Perth Amboy, 1t would
seem as If the freeholders ought to
strain q point, If necessary, to do
their part in making the bridge what
it should be. The county can afford
the few dollars it will require to
complete the replanking far more
than it can the drain on the pocket
book, patience and reputation. This
Is a duty the freeholders owe to the
thousands of people who use the
bridge every season.

Eager For Double Duty.

A manufacturer In the west Of Eng
land, anxious that his hands should
keep Christmas In a proper spirit, told
them that If they went to church on
that day they should receive their
wages just the same as If they had
been at work. Shortly after the ad-
dress a deputation Of solemn faced
employees waited upon their chief.
Were willin' to attend church" said
the spokesman, "and II ye can see yer
way to payin' us overtime we're willtn
to attend the Methodist chapel In the

CoIored Haiistopes,

Red hall Is not unknown, even in
Great Britain, for in May Of 1885 there
was quite q heavy fall Of it at Castle
wellan, in County Down. Red and
white fell together, and the red hue
was not merely on the surface Of the
pellets, but went through and through.
When one was squeezed between the
fingers 1t stained them.
At Minsk, IN Russia, an even stran'
ger hail shower had fallen Eve years
before. Some Of the pellets were ring
shaped, and, while some were distipctlJ
reddish, others were a bright blue
Some scientists declare that the color
ing is due to various mineral salts.

ark News, which is investigating the
condition of the-h through
State. That newsba9er-Esz
ce1rcIy wrote up" the trip by au-
tomobile from Newark to the shore.
The worst stretch Of road In the
whole distance was between Railway
and this city, The next section to re-
ceive a heavy blow was the road be
tween this city and Keyport, particu-
lar mention being made of Sheridan
street and the bridge over the Rari-
tan river. In commenting on the
condition of the roads editorially the
Newark News says:
Nothing is clearer than that the
main roads should be kept in contin-
ual repair. These are for the con-
venience of the vast majority. They
have a direct and very important
bearing not only upOn the comfort
of those who travel them, but upon
their prosperity, for these roads are
| the OF no little intercity traf-
fc. 1t is pleasant, of course, and
| profitable to have all the byways in
irreproachabIe condition, but only Of
| secondary Importance. The interest
Of the largest number Of people Is
| the paramount consideration, and
| this is served only by keeping the
main thoroughfares, the real state
highways, in repair
This is quite true, but it falls par
ticularly hard on those counties that
are In the center OF the state where
they are crossed by all the
through" traffic. In Middlesex we
not only have the main road to the
shore to look after all the way across
the county, but the route between
New York and Philadelphia, passes
through the county lengthwise, start
ing at a point lear Railway at the
Union county line and ending a lit
tie south of Cranbury where Mercer
county Is entered. To keep these
long stretches of highways in shape
is a heavy tax on the people. Because
of our location and the fact that
our main roads are used by so many
non-residents, 1t would seem as II
this county is entitled to an extra
large portion Of the state funds fol-
road Improvement. With the in
creasing traffic going both across and
up and down the county for it's full
length 1t requires an enormous out
lay every year just to keep these
highways in repair.
This year the road between thi!
city and Railway, about which The
Newark News article had so much Il
say, is being rebuilt. Sheridan

river bridge, which was particularly
complained of, viii be paved with
