Delight myself in the lord.
S7:4.
The thought Of delight" in religion
is so strange to most men, that no
two words in their language stand
further apart than holiness and de
light" To them religion is service,
duty, or necessity, out never pleasure
or delight. But believers who know
Christ, understand that delight and
faith are SO blessedly united that the
gates of hell cannot prevail to sep.
arate them. They who love God with
all their hearts, find that his ways
are ways of pleasantness," and all his
paths are peace" Such joys, such
brimful delights. such overlooking
blessednesses do the saints discover In
their Lord, that SO far from serving
him from custom, they would follow
him though all the world cast out
his name as evil. To them delight
and true religion are &C allied as root
and flower, as indivisible as truth and
certainty; they are, in fact, two pre-
cious jewels glitteriug side by side in
a setting of gold.-C. H. Sturgeon.

futile are ordinary devices to draw
the crow to a spot where a man with
a gun is lying in ambush, the Mary
land farmers, SO they told me, long
ago discovered the value of the bubo
owl as an aid in this respect. To take
advantage of the aid Of the bubo the
farmer must first get the bubo.
THE bubo is no fool himself, and
1t is no easy trick to get him-that
is, to get him alive, for he would be
Of no service dead. The native dwell
ers back in the hills have a way
though Of trapping the bubo by means
Of a live chicken used in c~ollabora-
ton with a box trap, and they manage
to supply the farmers to some ex-
tent with these owls, although, they
tell me, not enough to meet the de-
mand.
"The owl is tied at a spot where
he may be seen from the adjacent
cornfeld, and If he is not discovered
by the crow when they come in the
field he will soon be discovered by a
sentinel crow, for the bubo will for
get that he is a prisoner and before
long will rise to make a swoop down
on that field after the crow. The
string will quickly jerk him back to
the limb though. But he has been
discovered. The sentinel caws the
alarm and the crows rise and make a
dash for him, each one v~ociferously
yelling it's anger. ,
"The farmer, a hired man or two
and as many more of the family as
are inclined to join in are in hiding
in the bushes near the tree where the
bubo is a captive lure, each with a
double barreled shotgun. AS the
crows come flocking fercely in they
are met with a volley and a dozen
or more are seer to come tumbling to
the ground dead and wounded.
"The crows, demoralized by the
unexpected and deadly assault, turn
and hasten from the woods. Natural
ly the owl rises from its perch
frightened. This rising Of the hated
foe as II to pursue them overcomes
the alarm of the crows and they
gather again and dash back to assail
him. The masked battery opens On
them again and their number is de-
pleted by half a score or so more.

WANT SAFE MILK SUPPLY,

Better Dairy inspection.

Steps were taken by the Haddon-

the State Board of Health more COM
plete and satisfactory inspections of
the dairies supplying the people of the
borough with milk. The action fol-
lowed an interesting and exhaustive
paper by C. H. Brinton, of the Public
Health Committee, showing that the
system adopted by the State for close
surveillance of milk supplies had not
been used to any appreciate extent
there, although rigidly enforced in
other places. AS a result, the dairies
of this immediate vicinity had scored
a mere fraction over the required 80.
per cent. to pass muster. The local
Health Board is to be urged to secure
the cooperation of the State Board in
providing for quarterly Inspections
and the reports of the results are to
be given wide publicity.

Cedar Grove Case.


There is no question of the legality
OF he decision that a pupil in the
Cedar Grove public school, of English
~parentage, need not be compelled to
repeat the formula of allegiance to
this Government when saluting the
flag, as is the daily custom. This
country educates children who are
resident here without regard to the
nativity or allegiance of their parents,
because it does not want ignorant
creatures growing up. 1t is taken for
granted that they desire to become
citizens, and that parents who are SO
welded to their birthplace as to object
to compliance with rules which are
good enough for Americans, will not
use the public schools, but pay for the
instruction of their children in insti-
tutions not supported by our people.
When there are exceptions they should
be ignored.

In Court Only as Mayor.

In Court Only as Mayor.
Mayor A. C. Hulsizer, of Fleming
ton, although not a counselor-at-law,
appeared in his own behalf in Su-
preme Court, and explained that he
was present in the capacity of mayor
rather than as a barrister. He has
been a member of the bar for 80
years, but never has qualified as a
counselor. Under the ordinary rule
of the court he would have been for
hidden to appear in person, but after
the explanation Justice Swayze said:
"The Court will close its eyes" The
question which Mayor Hulsizer de-
sired to argue was his right to receive
a salary of $500 as Flemington's ex-
ecutive. While the law provides that
mayors of municipalities such as
Pennington shall receive no compen-
sation except fees, the local council
passed a resolution granting him a
salary of $500. Following the argu-
ment, Mayor Hulsizer was informed
by the Court that he was not entitled
to any salary.
