Moors's Greatest Poem.

Lslia Rookh" was read univer-
sally and translated into severa!
European languages. The poem has
no lofty Miltonic flights, no hall OF
Eblis reaching the height of the
sublime, but it is calculated to suit
the taste of every order of the mind.
Young and old, educated and I'M
educated, comprehend its luxurious
imagery, sweet passages, fascinating
descriptions and gorgeous yoluptu-
business; hence the uncommon popu-
larity Of the poem. Those who have
hearts for the deeper things of hui,
manity-what enjoyments come no!
from external color, orient hues and
tyrian purplel - will prefer the
heart which is shown in many of
Moore's other productions.-West-
minister Gazette.

TRUE MADST0NES.
Any Value They Possess Lies In Their
Absorbent Qualities.

Most persons, especially those in
rural districts, have seen so called
madstones. Frequently physicians
are asked whether there is actually
any virtue in these stones. Their
answer is that they do possess some
value, but that they would be of
still more value we're their limita-
tions understood.
There is no particular variety of
stone or substance that may be
designated exclusively as the mad
stone. Many madstones, so called,
have been examined, and it has
been found that but few Of them
were, geologically sPe' ling, identi
cal.
Madstones, it appears, act On the
same principle that blOttius paper
does when absorbing ink. and there
is nothing that makes a better oES

In order TO Be efficient therefore
the prime requisite Is that the stone
shall Re porous and show strong sd-
heSive and absorbent qualities.
There Is nothing mysterious abou;
the true maidstone. Some have ap-
pesred TO be coneretions, either YES
ical, renal or hillary, that were
found in the bladder, kidney, or liv-
er of some animal. Those from the
deer are supposed to be best.
When person is bitten by a dog
supposed to be mad and the porous
stone is applied to the wound the
blotting paper action begins, and
the blood saliva from the mouth of
the animal and whatever poison
these fluids contain will naturally,
by capillary attraction, be absorbed
by and into the substance applied,
whether the maidstone be the mad
stone of the superstitious or not.
There is no truth in the state
ment that if a stone sticks the
wound is poisonous and that if it
does not take hold there is no VEN
ON present. If the stone be clean
and dry it will adhere when moist
ure is within reach until the stone
becomes saturated. For example,
new brick will absorb a pint Of
water. After the venom has been
taken into the circulation the mad
stone is worthless, but as the VIC
tim is usually filed with whisky at
the time the stone is applied the
spirits may counteract the effects

New Union Street Bridge.

A new bridge will be built over
Swan creek, on Union street, Lam
bertville, during the present year
unless the plans of the Hunterdon
County Board of Freeholders mis-
carry.
County Engineer Grant Davis
was here last week and made the
necessary measurements. and plans
will be prepared at once for the
structure.
The present structure built more
than half a century ago, is OF cast
iron and entirely too light to carry
the modern auto trucks. The Hiber-
mia fire truck is not taken across it
at any time on account of the danger
of collapse of the bridge.
The new bridge will be the full
width of the street, and at the actu-
al street grade instead of creating a
hump as at present. 1t will be of
steel, with concrete flooring, and
will be strong enough to carry any
load that may be expected to cross
it.
Freebooter Harry K. Kramer has
been devoting special attention to
the local bridge problem, and accom-
panied County Engineer Davis on
the preliminary work.

MAKING COOKS BY
 THE THOUSAND
(Exchange.)

It Is estimated that there are in the field kitchens of the German army one cook to each twenty men bearing arms That is to say that since mob- ilization occurred, over year ago. one out of every twenty German soldiers have been forced to learn the rudi- ments of plain cooking, under the di- rection of men fully acquainted with that branch of the trade. After the war closes 1t Is just barely possible that these men may seek employ ment at the catering industry and stand a pretty good chance of dis placing those who have heretofore held the kitchen jobs. America Is not at war, but 1t has developed, in the last few years, enough embryo walters graduates from the self-ser- vice houses, to make the outlook any thing but encouraging.
