THE CITY REVENUE.

Just about the time we ascertain that the revenue of the city is $10,000 more per year than the expense; that the city indebtedness has been ro. duced $10.000 during ..e past year, and that with careful handling of the finances the city is able to make it's way on it's own resources for while-comes the probability that the city revenue is to be disturbed by the furthered contention in the courts of the liquor question. Even the present decision may not be fi- nality. The case may go on to the supreme court regardless of the de cision of the case now pending, The point of which we present as a con tinued argument for the repeal of the Going act, on the hypothesis that ey- cry community ought to nave a sim pie and effective plan of settling the liquor question before the time for the issuance of license. instead of complicated law that drags an issue throughout many months.

AFTER THE RAINS

\ The rains of the past few days have pr6pared the roads of this county for the split log drag. The split log drag is not primarily road builder, but t is a medium of evening mp the roads and filling the ruts when the ground is soft.
 The United States government in all the tests made has found the split log drag beneficial The government has endorsed that medium of road care and maintenance Now comes the Progressive Farmer which says of the situation:
 When will our people appreciate the value of the split log drag? When will they quit thinking they can have passable highways only by spending thousands and thousands of dollars for surfaced roads, and that if coUn- ty cannot afford these. it's people must pull along through mud and ruts till Gabriel blows his horn?"
 This journal suggests many oppor- tunities for trying the split log drag. One method is to engage farmers along the road to do the dragging The other is to send men out to work the road under the road commission CT. It has been suggested that ten men could maintain the roads of this county, on the split log system, if they started out right, and were kept at the work.
 There has been some splendid work done on the roads south of the city recently. Then a rainy period sets in. The roads are softened, and the heavily loaded wagons, with their narrow wheel tires, cut the ruts. Soon there is no road.
 The Progressive Farmer adds in it's comment of the use of the split log drag: use the drag. When used promptly just after the March rains end it will level down tho ruts and ridges and insure smoother tray cling the whole year through. But to be really effective it should be used after EVERY WET SPELL"

CORRESPONDENTS
HONOR DEVEREUX
Newspaper Representatives at
Trenton Present Gift at An
nual Banuet.
Especial to the Evening stnr.I

TRENTON, March Ex-Governor
Fielder and zmany other State Off
Gals were guests last night at the
annual dinner of the New Jersey
Legislative Correspondents Club, at
the Hotel Sterling. United States
Senatir James e. MARITIME also was a
guest. A feature of the night was
the presentation to William X. Dew
ereux. of Asbury Park, of a gold
watch and gold fob.
President Wilson was invited to be
present, but was unable to make the
trip on account of affairs at Washing
ton. He sent a telegram expressing
his greetings and good wishes. The
President was the guest of honor at
banquets of the club in other years
while he was governor.
Joseph Z. Tumulty, secretary to
the President, was also detained in
Washington. He telegraphed his re
grets, but was not left unhonored for
the back page of the menu card, 1.-The
Evening Meal" was devoted prin-
cipaly to the Jerseyman and some
of his friends in the West.
Mr.. DevereuX is the editor of the
Evening Meal. Those persons whom
he overlooked in his remarks during
the banquet came in for attention in
his publication. The presentation of
the watch was made by Governor
Fielder. He told of the fun that he
has had as a Trenton legislator, but
he added that some times, one of
which was very recently, he wished
he was back on the floor of the sen
ate. Then he could get out and do
some hard fighting.
The Governor said there were more
pleasant things to talk about, how
ever He thereupon, in all the power
of chief magistrate of the State, or
dered that Mr.. DevereuX be sum-
moned before him. The genial "Billy"
had his doubts concerning what was
on the program, because earlier in the
evening he had been given a rather
ostentatious time-piece, in a very
formal manner, by Charlie" Bacon
The presentation of the real thing
didn't overcome Mr.. Deyereux On
the contrary he said that it was the
best thing that had happened during
the banquet.
Thomas f.. Smith, secretary of Tam
manY Hail. was among the speakers.
He proved to be a match i'm wit and
jest for DevereuX. He said many nice
things about newspaper men in gen
eral. He formerly was a writer on
New York newspapers.
Senator MARITIME told how pleased
he was to be again with the Trenton
newspaper men and praised the pro-
fession.
One hundred and fifty covers were
laid for the dinner.
The officers of the club are: Presi-
dent, Daniel A. Dugan; Vice-president,
Charles j. Allen; secretary treasurer,
John J. McDonough.

TRENTON SUFFERS
FEVER EPIDEMIC
1914 Cases to Date and Resi-
dents Demand That Streets
Be cleaned.
Especial to the Evening stnr.l

TRENTON, March 27.-An cpl
demic of scarlet fever throughout the
city has aroused the residents to de-
mand that the authorities take i'm
mediate steps toward the cleaning of
the city by the removal of garbage
and refuse from the streets. To date
104 cases of scarlet fever have been
reported. Many cases of pneumonia,
tuberculosis, grip, rheumatism and
other forms of ailments has appeared
here with alarming frequency.
John H. Vernam, clerk in the First
National Bank, twenty-three years
of age, yesterday fell a victim to
scarlet fever after an illness of eight
days. Vernam was in the best of
health when stricken. The young
man was popular in social circles
here
Another tragedy due to the cpl
demic was enacted in the family of
Mr.. and Mrs. Stephen 10th yester-
day, when their youngest child, Ste
Ihen, died shortly after the burial
OF his little brother Joseph. The death
of stephen makes the fourth death
from the same illness in this family
within a month.

SEEK ASSA|LANTS
OF POSTMISTRESS

Especial to the Evening Start

HACKENSACK, March 27.-A
posse organized by Mayor David A.
Speight, of haywood. and Sheriff r.
N. Heath, is searching the vicinity
of the mayors home for two high
waymen who shortly after o'clock
last night held up and assaulted Miss
Susie Speight, daughter of the mayor
and postmistress of the town, and
robbed her of $500 worth of stamps
and about $3.50 in cash.
Miss Speight was on her way home
from the postoffice, carrying with her,
as usual a satchel containing stamps
and money, which she always de-
posits in her fathers safe. Her
house is only two blocks away from
the postoffiee. but Miss Speight fol-
lowed an unfreduented path along the
tracks of the Susquehanna Railroad
and behind a row of houses. When
near her house. two men passed her.
turned suddenly and one struck her
in the face with a blackjack The
blow knocked her down and broke
her eyeglasses, which cut deeply into
her face. Miss Speight screamed. but
the robbers wrenched the satchel
from her hands and fled.
The young postmistress's mother
heard the screams and ran out to
meet her daughter. DIR. Freeland of
haywood, dressed her injuries. The
highwaymen We're later reported as
having passed further along the
tracks, where thew accosted Steve
Roder, and at the point of their
guns told him to beat 1t.

fIhiN8SO ueerm O rioNS!

"... .L- ."a - ALaaE L.a " "#a.l--
South East Africa, have invented n
sort of face paste which. when ap-
piled 10 the human c~ountenanee and
allowed to dry, assumes the appear
ance of a fine, white enamel. This
paste when allowed to set properly
is perfectly waterproof and very Gas
tic as 1t adjusts itself without crack
ing TO the fiexing Of the facial mus
cles. One coat of the cosmetic when
expertly applied will retain its pris-
tine purity for a month Oh more. Al
though the materials from which the
enamel is compounded are well known
and easily obtainable throughout the
region the art of mixing them is
known only to q few old women OF
the Macua people. These ingredients
include a certain variety of white and
very hard wood which, when rubbed
upon a block of pumice stone with a
small amount of ant" oil, produces
a whitish mixture which is the base
of the enamel. This mixture must be
put through a number of secret pro
cesses before it is ready for use.

shanohal and Salt Fish.

The city Of Shanghai imported last
year about 500, 900 yen worth Of salt
fish. The import of salt fish dates
three years back, and began with the
introduction of salt salmon from
Primorskaya RUSSIAN littoral prov
ince), salt cod from Kwangtung leased
territory, and salt sardines from Maya
saki, says the Manchurian Daily News.
In addition to salt cod, the leased
territory exported 5000 yen worth of
swordfish last year. This fish, which
owes its name to its likeness to a
sword in shape as well as in its glis-
tening, scaleless body, is found in
great abundance in these coast wa
tiers. The local quality is better suited
to the Chinese palate than imports
from Ningpo and ports on the North
China coasts, and has a promising fu-
ture on the Shanghai market. In fact,
the Chinese are heavy consumers of
this fish, the total annual import to
Shanghai reaching 10000 piculs.

BORING CLAM OF PACIFIC

The phola, or boring clam Of the
northwest coast, is one Of the most
curious creatures known to science.
Although almost universally known as
the rock oyster" the bivalve Is a
member of the clam family and makes
its home in rocks of varying hard
ness that are covered by the sea ex'
cept at very low tide.
The creature begins boring into the
lodges when very minute, using its
sharp shell as a rasp. The shell is
replaced by secretions as fast as worn
away. When it penetrates the rock
about six inches, it ceases from Its
labors. Its nourishment is obtained
from the infusoria swarming In salt
water. The phola is considered q
great delicacy by epicures and is in
demand at the summer resorts along
the coast. In many localities the
clans are blasted from the lodges
with dynamite. Lately quite a trade
has developed on Puget sound for the
clans, which are found in great pro
fusion on the shores Of the inlant
sea. They are shipped to many rail
road centers.

TESTING PRECIOUS STONES

Can you tell a real diamond from
an imitation? Genuine diamonds can
best be recognized by their hardness
and high reflective power. The dia-
mond stays brilliant because 1t is
hard and limitations become scratch
ed and dulled by friction. For an
experienced eye it is not difficult TO
decide from the appearance OF the
faces whether a stone is genuine or
not for those of real diamonds are
seldom so regular as those Of fine 1m1-
tations. With the latter the greatest
care is taken, in grinding, to smooth
and polish not only the faces, but
also the whole form into such a shape
as to avoid differences in the refiec-
ton, ~refraction and scattering of the
rays.
In the grinding and polishing Of real
brilliants, on the other hand, effort Is
made to keep the original size as near
ly as possible, and some little irregu-
larities in the faces and angles are pre-
ferred to any diminution in weight. In
| the limitations the superiority of cheap
material which may be wasted with
out making any difference enables a
perfect counterfeit to be made,
A necessary tool for testing is the
file, which is not able to injure or
scratch a real diamond, while on an
imitation it quickly makes it's mark.
Better than the file is a fragment of
sapphire, because the sapphire is the
next hardest stone to the diamond.
Any stone that can be scratched with
a sapphire is surely no diamond. If
a small drop of water is placed on
the upper face of a brilliant and touch.
ed with a pointed pencil, the drop will
keep its rounded form, while the stone
remains clean and dry. If the same
is done to a glass imitation, the dror
! spreads out at once A diamond
plunged into water will be plainly Wis
ible and will glitter through the liquid
while an imitation stone is almost
invisible
II a person looks through a dia
mond, as through a bit of glass, al
a black dot on a sheet of white paper
one single point will be seen clearly
If several points appear, or a blur is
seen, 1t is an imitation.
The white sapphire, the white topaz
and rock crystal are commonly sold a!
diamonds, but often limitations
are made of glass. To recognize thes'
glass limitations, treatment with acid
is also recommended, which remove
the polish on the faces, while 1t doe
not affect the diamond, ruby, sapphire
or emerald. However, an imitation
made of glass yields to the hardness
test, SO that a chemical test is super
fluous.

London SIums.

The approaching demolition of the
notorious Tabard street area reminds
one of the clearing away Of another
famous slum-the Rookery Of st. Giles
which was pulled down in the forties
for the construction Of New Oxford
street. It largely consisted of lodging
houses where men and women were
accommodated at two pence per night,
and was the resort Of thieves and
coiners. Many Of the houses were con-
nected together by the roof, yard and
cellar In such a way that the apprehen'
sion of a criminal was an almost i'm
possible task. In some of the pas
sages traps were set which landed a
determined pursuer into a cellar OF
cesspool.-London Chronicle.

MUSHROOMS IN QUARRIES

In France, mushrooms are cultivated
in subterranean quarries at a depth
of 60 to 200 feet from the earth's sur.
face. These quarries have been found
extremely profitable in this connec-
ton, owing partly to their equable
temperature and their freedom from
draughts, provision being made, how
ever, for their proper ventilation. The
beds are formed of manure, covered
with about an inch of fine, white.
stony soil, in which the spawn or
mycelium is introduced at a depth of
a few inches, and in rows eight to
ten inches apart. The length of the
beds is variable, and in general they
are approximately 20 to rs inches
wide and of the same height.
