Figures Seem to Show That Ameri
cans Are Not as Extravagant as
Has Been Supposed.

The size of a mans income has lit
tie or nothing to do with the amount
of money he saves. Some interesting
statistics have recently been gathered
by the United States labor bureau
showing the portion of the income
saved by men in a variety Of profes-
sions and trades. Incidentally. more
than one-third of the men examined
confessed to having saved nothing
The average saving among the bank
ers and brokers was found to be sur
prisingly high. With an average in
come of about $1,000 year, the ex-
penditures Of family were found to
be about $4,000, thus leaving practi-
caily 30 per cent to the good. Among
lawyers with an average income OF
$4,000, the average amount saved was
nearly $1,000 a year.
The figures relating to physicians
were particularly surprising. The ay.
erage income was $4,000 year, and
the average savings only $500.
Among railroad officials the proper
ton of the income saved was under
| 20 per cent About the same proper
ton was found among men employed
in manufacturing concerns. with in
comes of $4,000 year. The class that
saves the least, according to the in
vestigation, were the clergymen. From
the experience of several clergymer
with an average income of $4,000 6
year, it was found that less than II
| per cent Of the incomes was saved
Among professors and teachers, the

better, averaging over rs per cent

Lightning struck barn belonging Il
Towers Cramer, at New Gretna, las
week, and it was destroyed by fire. A
horse, automobile, wagon and farm i'm

Politics TaboOed.

Pomona Grange, Patrons of Hus
bandry, held a regular quaterly meeting
at Rancocas Tuesday. AT first it looked as
if there was not going to be very great
interest in the business proceedings, as
the morning session was not as well at
tended as those of former times but the
members came in during the afternoon
and before the gavel fell for adjournment
there had been considerable interest
manifested.
Mrs. Hannah ID. Engle, of Rancocas
delivered the address of welcome which
was responded to by Harry Brick, of
Medford Then there were some fine
vocal selections by Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Intyre, Mrs. Joseph Cross and William
Lowber. dear Old Sweden, panto-
mime, was pleasingly rendered by MEM

sion settled down to business. One of
the most important subjects discussed
was the fair and the picnic to be given
at Rancocas Park on the 18th and 10Th
of this month. This is going to be the
largest affair of the kind ever witnessed
in this neighborhood. 1t was expected
there would be many displays of farm
machinery and products. with compel

the committee in charge of that particu-
lar feature thought it had made ample
provisions with room to spare, but the
applications for space have been so NUM-
erous that Encouragement of that por
ton of the programme has been made
necessary.
Then there had been preparations K

COMMITTEE has found that it will be abl'

dipping" of Flags, and Other Obser
vations, Are Under the Most
Strict Regulations.

The salutation given when a vessel
lowers or dips" its flag is one of ~
Oldest and most honorable of all forms
of marine greeting. This form of sa-
lutte has always been demanded by
English-speaking seamen, and It's ex-
action has warmed the hearts and
used up the powder of generations of
naval commanders. In the old days,
for foreign ship, whether merchant
or naval, to enter an English port
without yelling topsails or dipping
It's national flag was to run the risk
of war, although the profoundest peace
existed. Without warning or argu-
ment, the shore defences OF a man-of
war would send a round shot across
the bows or between the masts of the
foreigner, and If the offending flag did
not instantly come down the insolent
offender was brough to her senses by
being raked through and through. Such
was the reception accorded by Sir John
Hawkins in the sixteenth century to
the Spanish admiral who, in time of
peace, sailed into Portsmouth sound
without yelling his topsails or lower
ing his flag. Statutes are essential
matters of naval etiquette and are ex-
changed on an elaborate code fixed by
the maritime powers. The number of
guns to be fired in all circumstances
Is infinitely stipulated.

MooreSfoWn.

While awaiting hearing last week on
charge of arson, L. H. Call attempted
suicide by hanging in the police station.
A prisoner in an adjacent cell heard
moaning, went in and cut him down.
Call was unconscious, but was revived
by DR.. Stroud. He was afterwards held
without bail by Magistrate Petit on
charges of having been responsible for
two fires in Moorestown last March.
Francis Malraney had narrow escape
from serious accident on Wednesday
when the truck he was moving on the
station platform was struck by the cars.
He was knocked down and run over by
the truck, sustaining severe bruises and
a deep cut in his right hand. The eX-
element of the accident caused many
of the passengers to leave the train.

AT SKIES AND SEvENs.

Word comes from Washington to the
effect that the Progressives are at skies
and sevens over the attitude of Pinchot
towards Perkins and the attitude of
Roosevelt towards the same very i'm
portant and useful gentleman. There
is faction in the Progressive party that
doesn't take kindly to the idea that it
is necessary for the Progressives to tie to
the tail of the Perkins kite just because
the kite carries with it ready, willing
and generous check book. This faction,
disposed to be consistent with the
attitude of the party towards trusts, be-
lieve that it will injure their cause if
they tag along behind man whose as
ISOLATION with trusts made him mil
lionaire. 1t is feared that the lack OF
harmony in the Progressive camp will
seriously affect Mr.. Pinchot's chances in
the state of Pennsylvania, and it proba
bly, will, but since Mr.. Pinchot has nc
show OF being elected to the United
States senate, the result will not be dis
astrous to any of the vital interests O
the people. Itsimply promises greater
plurality for Penrose, whose election
is sure.-Stdte Gazette.

Measles and chickenpox are the
commonplaces of every household:
but their germs have eluded the most
elaborate attempts at detection. Back
in the eighteenth century Jenner con-
quered smallpox with vaccination: but
the most industrious search for 30
years has disclosed no trace of the
smallpox microbe. Medical men deal
with an unknown agent today, Just as
Jenner did 100 years ago. Reed and
Carroll showed us how to conquer vel
low fever; no one, however, has sue
ceeded in imprisoning any micro-or-
ganism Of the disease. Scarlet fever.
one of the most contagious diseases
known, has also successfully hidden
its secret. Pasteur, who discovered a
way to control hydrophobia, searched
patiently for its organism, but did not

American cities so years ago, still pre-
walls In attenuated form; but no one

grafton, has also so far concealed its
definite cause.-World's Work.

publican nomination for Sheriff, wants

ing in the open for himself only and for
the best interest of the party.
1t has been suggested that it might be
a good thing to have the membership of
the township committee distributed
more evenly according to territory. At
present four of the five members of that
body reside above Garden street.
A Beverly Democrat seems to think
that IF there was any justice in politics
DIR. Glasgow would be given the County
Clerk nomination without opposition
This Beverly Democrat must be very
young or else is very inexperienced,
otherwise he would have discovered long
since that justice and politics are
strangers.
A circular has been put in circulation,
copies being sent to many persons in
this county, attacking Senator White
for some of his legislative acts. The
circular is dated Atlantic City, but does
not bear any signature. This is in direct
violation of the election law which re-
quires every circular of political nature
to have attached to it the signature of
the person who sends it out.
Charles LaTour will ask for a re-
nomination for Township Clerk on the
Republican ticket. Mr.. LaTour has
given careful attention to the duties of
this office in the last three years and it
is safe to say the township records were
never in better shape than at the present
time He has been a faithful official
and deserves to be retained.
Candidates for township offices are APP
pearing. In Northampton DR.. E. ID.
Prickett and Howard f. Alcott have an
nounced their intention of trying for re-
nomination for members of the town.

Christian j. krayer thinks he will again
try for that office on the same ticket,
and Tilden I'll. Bedwell will be candi-
date on the Democratic ticket.
Politics develops strange measures to
secure votes and support and the Geran
law is strained to certain extent while
possibly not being entirely broken. Isaac

lican nomination for Congress in the
Second District, and it is reported that
his brother Harry is using secret society
stationery to secure secret society votes
for Isaac. This seems entirely out of
order, and is SO regarded by many of the
members of the society who have been
solicited to give political aid.

Henry Cabot Lodge, in his EARLY
Memories" tells number of good an
ecdotes. Perhaps the best of all is
the legend which Oliver Wendell
Holmes is said to have placed on his
door when he began practising as a
physician: THE smallest fevers thank
fully received and gratefully acknowl-
edged" Another notice that was put
on door is mentioned by Mr.. Lodge.
1t was on the door of Mr.. Evarts,
when, as secretary of state, he was
Desleged by applicants for consulates
and other minor diplomatic posts, and

That, one hastens to admit, is the an
ecdote, and nobody will pretend that
an anecdote is necessarily true.

RoBBINa AMERICANS TO TICKLE
ALIENS,

ALIENS.
Philadelphia exports and imports
tell sad story of the triumph of foreign
made products over homemade products.
In the first six months of this year this
city's exports fell nearly 81, 500, 900, while
the imports increased almost SIS, 600, 600.
A cut of 20 per cent. in exports and
q gain Of 10 per cent. in imports are not
healthy symptoms of American bust
ness. On the contrary, they reflect an
unmistakable advantage for the foreign
competitor.
Buying from France and England
something we could manufacture at
home is good business for the French
and the English, but poor business for
the American workers whose hands are
idle as result of it. II the American
consumer were feeling any great reduc-
ton in the cost of articles purchased, it
would furnish partial compensation for
the loss of the great American market
to the alien manufacturer.
All sort Of commissions are at work
A fertile field for another one would be
to discover exactly how much the
American buyer has been benefited by
the swollen flood of imports since the
new tariff bill went into effect.-Pubtic

Speech Made to Dead Man

Karl Gimpert, concert agent, who
died at Berlin a few days ago, left the
whole of his estate to a priest. with
the following reservation:
i consider that death is a private
affair. and therefore request that no
one except the priest to whom l leave
my property shall accompany my cof-
nm to the cemetery. where he will de-
liver an address,"
This clause of the will was observed,
and the priest made speech over the
open grave. A public notary, who
stood at distance as witness that
the terms had been fulfilled, was the
only other person present.

Rev. DIR. PETERS ON EueEN1cs.

Rev. Joseph Peters, of Hoboken, does
not believe in the teaching of eugenics
in the public schools. He says that a
mothers sacred obligation to daughter
should obviate the necessity ofeugenics
in schools, and that father has like
obligation to his son. There are great
many people who have already express
ed the same principle, SO that it is not
a new idea.
Such subject should not be taught
to children in classes; such matters
should be talked very privately. Girls
and boys should not be reared in ignor-
ance, but even modern girls should not
have matters that have been private for
centuries as a topic of conversation after
class is dismissed.
DR.. Peters idea looks pretty sound
