Colonial architecture extant. and II
fs in an excellent state Of preserva-
ton. It has been satisfactorily de-
termlned that II was built not later
than 1880. and most Of It's furnishings
antedate that year. II was in al
probability a finer rural residence at
the time Of it's completion than any
on Manhattan island. Now it stands
at the intersection Of New Dorp lane
and Cedar Grove avenue. At the
time when the builders put on the last
coat OF paint and told the Cubber-

and picturesque hills Of Staten island.
The Cubberly cottage was but the
pioneer among many. In fact, as his
torical records show. the new settle
ment on Staten island grew so rap
idly at that time that some people
thought II might outgrow New Am
sterdam. The Cubberly cottage came
into the possession of the Brfttons in
the year 1895, when u was decided to
Nathaniel Britton, an ancestor OF the
owner who has given II to the public
as a historical relic. The cottage,

GUARDING GOLD ON LINERS
Most Daring of Robbers Would Find
Difficulty in Looting Strong
Rooms Of Steamers.

II would be natural to suppose that
forth across the Atlantic on the big
liners would be attended by consider
able precaution, but there is probably
no other place in the world where the
transport Of great wealth is carried on
with such simplicity.
One OF the great liners has two
strong-rooms, the smaller being In
close proximity to the captains quar-
ters. while the other is next to the
provision department The small
strong.room has its walls, floor and
ceiling lined with two-inch steel plate.
and contains nothing In the way of
furnishing other than shelves. This
has more than once contained enough
gold to buy the liner many times
over The locks. which are of the
double variety. are rendered still
more secure by covering the keyholes
with steel hasps. which are themselves
locked in place with massive padlocks.
This strong-room, being located In the
most frequented portion of the ship, is
passed by persons at all hours or the
day and night. which, after all, is the
great protection.
The strong-room located near the
provision department is II feet long
by four feet wide, and IL often hap
pens that both these rooms are filled
10 capacity with gold bullion. On one
occasion the I've rooms contained
sloO.oo00oo IN gold bullion, packed In
small kegs bound With steel hoops.

HARKING BACK TO NATURE
Few There Are Without Strong Feel
Ing Of kinship With the Things
of the Wild

A bond from which we are never
free unites us to mother earth. The
appeal of the refinements of civiliza
ton is strong; they are needed and
they have become an integral part OF
our life, but somewhere in our ma
lures Is something that always hanks
back to nature.
This feeling OF close kinship with
wild things, the stream, the birds and
animals. the woods, gives strength to
the soul. We're we to live always on
the artificial heights, we should ba-
come enervated For the earth Is our
home; from the actual physical earth
we gain strength Of body and mind.
From considering IL, we learn lessons
of truth and purity and order. and the
foundations of beauty are all found in
the material world. Our love of ma
ture, our longing sometimes to get out
into the wifds comes, though we may
never realize 1t. from our need OF
these things
With all our refinements, we shall
never do so well without the knowl-
edge of the kindly earth as with it.
Even in winter there is much TO learn,
much to enjoy. and we lose much
when we think We can do without our
close communion with the mother OF
US all.

Background for Pictures.

A plain paper or one with quiet self

makes a successful background for

cartridge paper is a splendid setting
for ornaments and pictures, while soft

most any picture. be it oil painting.

Gift of the Gods.

A meat packers wagon ratified over
the cobblestones down First avenue,
says the New York Evening Post.
Overhead roared an elevated train and
in the sunshine on the curb sat five
boys, shooting craps
Suddenly one OF them darted out
into the street. swung himself up on
the passing wagon, seized ham, and
jumped on-into the arms Of white
wing"
This agent of the city after appro-
priating the ham. gave the boy Wig
orous shaking and fling him toward
the sidewalk.
Immediately all five boys vanished
into the earth.

street and the wagon had disappeared
as completely as the boys, with the
driver quite unconscious of any I'M
