a face of wholesome color, pink and

morous, twinkling eyes of mingled
shrewdness and kindness. Rusticity

SO much pleased with a speech he
made that he printed it in pamphlel
form.
Il congratulate you." Senator Bailey
said a few days after, ION that speech
which you have circulated as a pam

so," said Tillman, much gratified

In AN item touching on the United
States Senatorial proposition the State
Gazette mentions former Senator Colby
and then calls attention to others as fol-
lows:
OF course, Mr.. Colby isn't going to
have 1t his own way when the time comes
TO roll up his trousers and sprint for the
United States Senate.
He will probably find in the field with
him the Hon. John Franklin Fort, who for
period of three years administered the
affairs of the Office of Governor, to which
he was elected while member of the good
old Republican organization for which he
manifested good deal of affection in the
early days of his political career. But,
he, too, has become progressive"
Washington looks good to him, and II
he can't sit on the Supreme Court bench,
little resting place in the United States
Senate chamber will satisfy him. There
IL a report to the effect Mr.. Fort became
disgruntled because President Taft ne.
elected to appoint him to Supreme court
judgeship. but it is pretty difficult to find
the trademark of truth on that state
ment. As a matter of fact, Governor
Fort showed signs of progression" pretty
soon after Governor Stokes yielded the
sceptre to him
Besides former Govern or Fort and
former Governor Colby, we shall have
former Governor Stokes in the running,
and he may be expected to set pace that
will keep the others on the jump to the
end of the race.
United States Senator Frank o. Briggs
will seek denomination. He Is an organ
ization man. He is just as progressive"
as any of the others, but he hasn't kicked
up so much dust trying to prove 1t as they
have.

Thu Larosst Dial..

The art of the clockmaker has
achieved many remarkable triumphs
Sometimes it is in clock wonderful
for the complexity of it's movements
and its busy population Of automatons
that attract our admiration, like tina
in the cathedral of Strassburg. At
other times the immense size of the
machinery and the dials excites aston
ishment. This is the case with the
celebrated clock In the tower of the
Church of st. Rombaut at Mechlin
This clock is believed to possess the
largest dials that exist In the world
There are four of them. one on each
side of the great square tower, and
their extreme diameter Is nearly thir-
ty-seven and one-half feet. The fig
ures showing the hours are nearly six
and one-half feet high. and the hands
have a length of nearly twelve feet

Years ago I was In America and
went down with the English minister
b the United States to a small inn In
Virginia where we were to meet Mr.
Marcy, the then United States secre-
tary Of state. and a reciprocity treaty
between Canada and the United States
was to be quietly discussed Mr.. Mar
ey, the most genial OF men, was az
cross as a bear. he would agree to
nothing. What on earth is the matter
with your chief?" said to a secretary
who accompanied him. he does not
have his rubber Of whist" answered
the secretary. After this every night
the minister and l played at whist
with Mr.. Marcy and bis secretary, and
every night we lost. The stakes were
very trihing, but Mr.. Marcy felt fat
tered by beating the Brtishers at
what he called their own game. His
good humor returned, and every morn
ing when the details Of the treaty were
being discussed we had our revenge
and scored few points for Canada

TUESDAY, JUNE A, 1912

TUESDAYS result In the primaries will
make many changes in the personnel of
the Republican party management In New
Jersey. Former Governor Murphy, who
has been a member of the National Re-
publican Committee for long time, will
probably be replaced by Borden D. Whit
ing, who was one of the foremost advocates
Of Theodore Roosevelt. Senator Edge, Of
Atlantic, while In the ''uninstructed" list,
was not selected as delegate to Chicago,
but he carried Atlantic county by vote
that must be very satisfactory to him,
when the opposition to him Is taken into
consideration. Senator Edge will not be
ignored In the counsels Of the Republican
party In the future. Another gentleman
whose light has not been dimmed is for
mer Governor Stokes. He was among
those who gave counsel and advice to the
successful side and his political wisdom
and foresight were of great value In the
campaign. On the other hand Senator
Briggs was an active worker In the Taft
ranks and his side went down.

Some years ago a Newcastle eng
landD coal operator named Branding
gave famous ball. The ballroom was
In the coal mine, LOO feet below
ground, in the shape of the letter L,
the width being Is feet, the height AZ
feet and the length 300 feet. The floor
was dried and tagged, seats provided
and the whole place illuminated with
wax candles. The company comprised
all the miners and their families, the
proprietors and agents and number
Of guests from London. 1t required
considerable courage for some OF the
strangers to go down the shaft, but
they all ventured. Dancing was from
noon till 8 p. M, and all returned to
the upper air clean and safe and each
carrying as a memento a piece Of coal
hewn from the end OF the drift.

Coz. of EIor.I Decorations

Millions Of dollars are spent on noral
decorations In America every year. 1t
is said that the amount spent for deco
rative purposes each year ts SUFFICIENT

them in commission. II La considered
nothing unusual for 81 900 to be charg-
ed by florists for decorating banquet

paid for home decorations. The deco
tator has to go through hard and long
school Of experience before he Is able
to command the salary Of an expert, for
the materials at his command are Of a
fragile nature, and IL 10 next to Inn
possible to experiment with them. Ger
tain set forms are known and prescrib-
ed for certain occasions, but when a
carte blanche order is given then the
art of the decorator comes into play,
and his artistic sense is well tested, for
it depends upon him to please his pa
irons in an artistic way, and also by
the wonderful blending Of his flowers.

Weight Of BraIns.

According to some scientists, every
human being gets complete new out
1T of brains about every two months.
They estimate that the duration of
nerves life is approximately sixty days
and that every brain cell is destroyed
and renewed that often. In other
words, we all have six brand new sets
Of brains each year. The following fig
ures, showing the comparative weights
Of persons Of different nationalities, are
interesting. According to Bastian and
other brain experts, the average Scotch
brain weighs 80 ounces, German brain
1915 ounces, English brain 1915 ounces.
French brain 479 ounces, Zulu brain
Ats ounces, Chinese brain 47.2 ounces,
Pawnee brain All ounces, Italian brain
40.0 ounces, Hindoo brain 45.1 ounces,
Gypsy brain 44.S ounces, Bushman
brain 44.6 ounces and Eskimo brain

Jack Tar apparently is considerably
older than Tommy Atkins. for the use
Of Jack to signify a sailor is at any
rate as old as 1859, and old Tar Is a
nautical character in play of about
the same period. The origin of the
name is not very romantic, for the
