Little Stories of New Jersey
BY ARTHUR Il. WARNER.

once fortnight For twenty five
years this schedule continued.
In 1854 better plan was arranged,
which provided for three mails a
week. Canvas bags were used for the
first time, and there was change of
horses each twenty miles. This was
regarded as the creates thing in
speed.
In 1871 there were six postoffices in
New Jersey these being Newark,
Elizabeth, Bridgeton (now Railway,
New Brunswick, Princeton and Tren-
| ton.

Distinction.

Her dog has diamond-set collar,
Her cat drinks the richest of cream;
OF course she spends many dollar
On hats that are simply a dream.
She always buys fruit out of season
And game of the costliest kind;
Their very expense is the reason
That these things appeal to her
mind.
Ihinss any one else might be buying.
She looks on with heartiest seorn,
And that's why just now she is
trying
me radlum cure on her corn.

OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM
THE EXCHANGES

| many infants and small children have
of sucking their thumbs or fingers.
The results are often disiigurlng and
kthe wise mother prevents any such
comfort" at the risk of annoying
the child. The general opinion Of
philologists, as well, as psychologists,
is that tho speech Is determined by
physical characteristics and not the
other way around.
As commonly spoken English is not
a musical language. 1t is capable OF
being spoken generously or sweetly.
Unfortunately nothing is less COM
mon than to hear man or woman
with pleasing intonation. To &C
Quire this means constant and sus-
tanned effort The ancient Greeks laid
much stress upon it. Today in
France from the time the little tod
dler goes to school until he enters
q university some time each day is
spent in learning the French Ian
guage, especial stress being laid upon
pronunciation. In this country what
ever a child learns in this respect is
largely accidental.
One may cultivate fine voice for
speaking as well as for singing. 1t
is an art acquired generally by much
labor. Occasionally there is natural
orator like Clay or
BRYAN. lust as there are natural
singers like CaruSo and Ruffo, but
these exceptions only prove the gen
eral rule Any person who loves the
English language and knows it's capa-
bilities must sigh that it is so COM
monty murdered by men, but more
especially that women do not take
more pains with pronunciation.

younS nan's Fancy

Upon the ground the snowdrift lies,
But hope comes to the weatherwise,
And soon we shall be swatting flies
If I'm not wrong.
Soon northward will the wild geese whr,
So in my heart feel stir
And would, whenever I'm with her,
Burst into song!
However, will bide my time
And check my impulse TO rhyme,
For I'm familiar with this cline

The sap comes up on days like these,
Then generally, there is freeze
So you cant tell
The sap will all be in my head

But then, suppose some other chap
Yields to the influence of sap

any other person in the government
service by persons and employees OF

executive order No. 10S, issued by
Governor General Harrison on De-
cen1ber s. The order states that 1t
has been his experience that for the
purpose of entertaining him, on his
official visits to the several provinces,
contributions are levied, which con-
stitute an added burden on the peo-
pie of the Philippines. The order fol-
lows:
Executive order No. 20, July p,
1907, prohibits taking so-called vol
untary contributions" for public or
semi-public purposes by public OIL
GERS and employees.
"Oficers and employees of the gov
eminent should also discourage ana

Letting contributions for the enter
tainment and reception of public Of
localities. While the spirit of hospi-
tality intended on such occasions is
commendable, still burdens are some
times imposed upon the local com
munity, and due to such friendly en-
tertainments the public official on a
tour of insection is largely prevented
from accomplishing the object of his
trip.
1.-THE governor general takes this
opportunity of stating that he has
lust learned of very large contribu-
tions amounting to many thousands
Of pesos being solicited for his enter
tainment in various provinces, and
collected from all classes of people.
Such an expenditure of money is OBJ
viously though intended in the most
courteous and hospitable spirit, q
great hardship upon the people; and
at time when the government 1t
self is bending every effort toward
drastic economy such expenditures
are inadvisable. Therefore, in order
to assist in carrying out tins eXecu-
tive order, the governor-generalh mas
decided that he will deny himself the
pleasure of any more prearranged
official visits to the provinces, at
least for the next year, During that
year. however, the encouragement
expects to visit each one of the prov
inces, but will do so informally and
upon very short notice, so that no
undue financial expense of entertain
ing may be incurred by the people.

to determine how to classify colony

day from London. They are consigned
to L. e. Wells, a stu1ant of natural

Boys Give Picture Show in Theatre
Built of Snow.
NEW YORK, March 11.-Three flf.
teen year-old Brooklyn schoolboys
gave picture show last night in their
electric lighted snow palace in the
yard of 1916 Fourteenth avenue.
After the recent storm the lads
built a snow house twenty feet long,
eight feet wide and six and one-half
feet high. The walls are three feet
thick. One of the builders, Walter
Smith, who is studying electricity,
wired the interior. With magic Ian
tern and some slides the exhibition
was given to students of Public School
No, 112, which the other builders,
Dudley Norwood and Milton Alexan-
der, attend.

Tipping and Anti-Tipping.

| From the Chicago Record Herald
The vexed old and ever new ques-
! ton of tipping is raised once more
by two interesting announcements
In New York a popular restaurant has
put up these related signs; Mimi
mum Wage for Women. So Per
Week"-"No Tipping, Please. The
patrons of the place must feel that
business is meant. Many tip from
sympathy, and a few from vanity.
Where a fair wage is paid there Is ne
more reason for tipping a waiter than
for tipping a saleswoman or clerk.
Perhaps the tipless restaurant
charges a little more for food, but
who does not prefer such a system
to the nuisance of tipping, with the
impudenee, discrimination, servility
and snobbery it breeds?
The other item is o Chicago one.
The Illinois Athletic Club, with the
approval of the members, rescinded
It's anti-tipping rule because it could
not be strictly enforced and favorit-
ism resulted But the club has not
revived the tip-as-y ou-please system.
To each food check five cents is add
cd. and the proceeds are distributed
among the walters. To this modified
scheme there is no serious objection
1t mends if it does not end. Hotels
and restaurants generally might try
it with advantage, What right
minded people dislike is the element
of mystery, uncertainty, special priv
ilege. Publicity and certainty are
potent antiseptics in tipping as well
as in tariff and trust affairs.

Lord Ashbourne. the eccentric
Irishman of English ancestry, at
tacks the mother tongue on the
ground that using it deforms the
mouth. causes the teeth to protrude
and thins the lips Consequently he
speaks Gaelic ana wears ancient irish

language has no more effect upon
lips and teeth than wearing the kits
probably not so much

days that protruding teeth come from
