First Aid,

Speaking Of the necessity for wide
spread education In first aid to the
injured, the st. Louis Times says:
perhaps 1t will not be taken amiss
II we call attention to the obvious fact
that nine-tenths of all the trouble In
the world is due to ignorance of GER
tain simple things. 1t might even be
said safely that all mishaps Of what
ever fundamental, physical and spirit
ual-are due to a want Of experience
and training, Accidents of a thou
sand varieties, from drowning to the
taking of a dose from the wrong bot
tie, are in a majority Of cases fatal
simply because there was not present
some one who knew what to do. In
juries which almost tear the body to
pieces are durable If the mar of train
ing and experience is at hand. The
simplest injuries often prove fatal
when they are not properly attended
to, when the injured person does not
get the benefit of a little simple help"

sy.o.si 70 the EVENING WE'VE

Spotswood, July 2O:-It is not
every country gentleman who can
boast Of a well arranged and fruitful
garden, but Cameille Baquet, Of this
place, has devoted many hours cul-
tivating the little patch of land In
the rear Of his residence on Main
street and today he proudly displays
the fruits of the same-white black
berries.
There are b~lackberries and there
are blackberries, but no kind hold
a candle to the luscious and peculiar
oolored fruit now being raised by
MI. BaQuet on his little tract of fer
tile land. His friends, too, are in
terested in the tracts development,
for this genial summer resident is
particularly soIicitious about his
neighbors and generally passes the
good things around, /. E., the pro-
duces of his garden. The white
b~lackberries are no exception and
Mr.. Baquet's friends have been
fortunate In tasting this unnatural
specimen Of "Rubus villosus."
White b~lackberries are scarce fl
the United States, New Jersey, anC
more so in M%iddlesex county, so Mr.

FAMILY PICNIC
Many Enjoyed Outing at

Special to the EVENING NEWS.

South Amboy, July 2O:-Quite a
large number of acquaintance and
relatives of this city and some from
other points who are visiting friends
here, Joined In a picnic at Laurence
Harbor yesterday. They had a very
enjoyable time on the beach.
Among those who participated
were: Mrs. Harry Stratton and
daughter, Of Church street; Mrs.
Enos Delmouth and Florence Kug-
Ter, Of Camden; Alice Roddy, of New
York; Mrs. Joseph Tice and daugh-
ter, of Second street; Mrs. A. M. Cole

dren, Of Church street; Miss j. M.
Kugler, Mrs. Harry Tice and chill
dren, of Second street; Mrs. William
Okesen and Rev. and Mrs. George
Okesen, Of Lebanan.
From appearances this place is
not only a pleasant outing resort for
the people of South Amboy. A rough
estimate of the people camping in
tents, bungalows, shacks and other
residing places, we have not the least
doubt would reach we'll on toward
four or five hundred people. A lit
tie expenditure of money by the peo-
pie in this vicinity In the way of i'm
~provements would no doubt swell the
number to thousands instead of hun
dreds, as 1t is one of the finest bath
ing places along the bay.
