sooIsty Woman Profitsd BY Reotors
oensIhie Remarks on the eublect
Of enobblshness.

But, my dear Doctor Brown. "ex-
claimed Mrs. de Puyster. However en-
ceilent these people may be. you don't
mean that ! ought to treat them 81
my social equalsr'
"And why not?" asked the rector.
To the lady his voice did not seem 30
sympathetic as usual.
well, really" she returned, a little
embarrassed, 1T seems obvious that
they are different"
"The differences you speak OF are
mostly petty. silly, and wicked distinc-
tions without real significance. What
clothes a man wears, who his father
and mother we're. what opportunity for
schooling he had or was denied-do
these things give any intimation OF
the mans essential worth or value?
"Once, at a fashionable summer re-
sort, sat watching the crowd bathing.
Among them three men were conspi-
cuous. It was a pleasure to see their
broad shoulders, their deep chests,
their splendid limbs. Finally they
left the water and disappeared into
one Of the lighthouses. Presently they
reappeared in overalls! They were
workmen building house near by. To
most of those who saw them, their
physical superiority had vanished un-
der their working clothes.
Some day." continued the doctor.
I'VE shall all lay aside our clothes
and our bodies as well. Some who
on earth seemed very impressive with
their fine clothes and their attractive
faces and bodies will then look pitt
fully shriveled and shrunken.
"If you could look into the serv-
ants hall OF some great castle and see
the butler refusing to associate with
the stableman, and the cook holding
herself superior to the chambermatds,
1t would seem to you utterly silly and
ludicrous for people to make such
ridiculous distinctions! But are they
really more absurd than we when we
make the same kind of distinctions
among our fellows?"
Mrs. de Puyster smiled. IT suppose
we are absurd" she said.
"If we were only absurd 1t wouldn't
matter SO much" returned the doctor.
"But It is not simply ludicrous. Snob-
berry isn't minor fault or a venial er-
ror It's one Of the great sins. II I'm
q snob, it's because in my heart / de-
spise my fellow men, and have set
myself up as their superior. have
repudiated the very heart Of the mes
sage Of Christ. I have cut myself on
from the common humanity with which
Christ proudly identified himself. In
asmuch as We have done 1t unto one of
the least of these my brethren, ye
have done it unto me- means that
Christ actually lives in humble human
kind. For me to be snob means that
have cut myself off from humble
humankind-and consequently from
Christ himself! That Is a serious
thingi"
Mrs. de Puyster no longer smiled.
1T Is a serious thing. It's an awful
thing!" she cried God be merciful
to me a snob!"-Youth's Companion.

Giant Of star.-

Campus, the giant of the stellar
system, is, according to a recent cal
culation Of w. F. A. Ellison, 40 1000
times as bright as the sun. It is 1874
times as large as the sun in diameter,
$4,000 times in surface and 2.42O,OO0
times in volume. It's distance from
us. according to the same estimate, is
4S9 light years. Suppose, says Mr..
Ellison, that instead of being at this
enormous distance it were placed in
the center Of the solar system, in lieu
of the sun. 1t would then occupy
eighty-five hundredths of the space ly-
ing within the orbit Of Venus, and as
seen from the earth would subtend an
angle of about 70 degrees Of arc Thus,
when its lower limb was on our hori-
zon, its upper would be within 20 de-
grees OF the zenith. Needless to say,
no life could exist on earth with such
q neighbor

HOW 10 Get EfnoIsnex

Here is some advice to the tired
business man. II you are not getting
efficiency from your typist don't can"
her, but get some music. This will
speed up tired typewriter performers.
The idea IL suggested by the man
ager of business college, says the
New York correspondent of the Pitts
burgh Dispatch. He claims that he
gets better work from his students
when he turns on the monograph and
1t plays some lively foxtrot. And
now the crafty employers here are
thinking of putting the suggestion in
action. The scheme is to turn loose
"a lively record on talking machine,
the lively strain offsetting the tired
strain under which the typewriter op-
orator Is laboring. The moment the
weary worker hears the invigorating
sound she strikes her key on the type
writer, and then all of the keys. Some
body has observed that the modern
dances do not confine the action to
the feet. No, the shoulders, elbows
and arms all have a chance to move
Every step forward is welcomed by
progressive business men, so why not
one-steps?

Christ was master Of the art of adj

than Luke, according to Walter VIII
liams, dean of the school of Journalism
of the University of Missouri, who ad-
dressed Sunday school convention in

patch to the New York Herald.
Even Christ's last words were not

church has kept the good news of the
gospel to itself it has died. When 1t

Quered.
When Kitchener wanted 1000, 900
men he advertised in the newspapers.
When the church wants 100000
strong men to aid its cause it rings a
bell for five minutes on Sunday.
Luke, with his vivid phrases, wrote
the greatest report in the world-the
story of Christ" said Mr.. Williams.

Women like to wear large hats
there is q certain air to them-but
ever since they became fashionable
they have been causing several hun
dred feminine encounters. These hat
duels always start the same way. Two
women, each with big white hats, were
seated In a subway train recently.
Suddenly the stiff, saw-like edge of
one hat swept the other woman's back
hair. The one who had been wound
ed" turned and glared at the offender,
and in 80 doing inadvertently, of
course, sawed the offenders neck with
her own hat Il don't care; she
needn't think she owns this car" one
exclaimed aloud to her companion.
She can't be a lady or she wouldn't
act that way" the other remarked
scornfully. The average man who over
hears and oversees one of these hat
duels is likely to be unduly alarmed
while 1t lasts, and wonder why there
Is no bloodshed.-New York Times.

Tags on Motor Boats.

The long expected tag bill" has
been introduced in Congress, and if it
becomes law all motor boats will be
required to carry numbers just as the
automobiles do. The bill was intro
duced by Representative Joshua w.
Alexander of Missouri, chairman of
the House Committee on Merchant
Marine and Fisheries. The motor
boats are to be letttered and number
ed, the letters representing the light
house district to which they are at
tached.
This has been done because it is
claimed that there has been trouble
enforcing the law about equipment,
and if boat is numbered it will be an
easy matter to get the owner.
The law will not go into effect until
six months after it has been passed,
so that if it is late in the winter when
it gets on the statute books it will fall
before the numbering is required, and
it consequently may have little to do
with the coming seasons boats.

State Road Reform.

Sweeping reorganization OF the
State Road Department is the recon-
mendation of the Joint Highway Com
mittee in its report to the Legislature
after study of the laws relating to
road work with state aid. The COM
mittee which was named at the 1915
session of the Legislature consists OF
Senators Gaunt, Gloucester county;
Hartens, Hunterdon county, and Col
gate, Essex county, from the Senate,
and Assemblyman Gilbert, Essex coun-
ty; Agnew, Hudson county, and West,
Gloucester county, and former Assem-
blyman Weart, of Mercer county.
That the state is not getting full
returns out of the 25,OO0,0O0 already
expended for total of 3,40O miles of
road. is the assertion of the commit
tee. They state that one of the pres
sing needs in the state is an adequate
system of road repair to prevent
threatened deterioration of the roads,
and prevent injury to the improved
surfaces. While making these recon-
mendations, the committee pays
tribute to the present road depart
ment with regard to their recognized
ability and reputation. Another idea
strongly emphasized in the report is
that where the state is concerned in
road construction it should be with an
eye to the needs of the state as a
whole, rather than to particular 10
calities or sections. They insist that
county lines should not be stumbling
blocks in the way of continuous i'm
provement, and assert that in this re-
spect the state should set an example
to the counties, as it should also in
correct methods of construction and
repair.
In order to bring about these re-
suits, the committee has embodied
its recommendations in three bills,
submitted with the report. The first
provides for a complete reorganiza-
ton of the road department so as to
put. the work into the hands of three
commissioners, each representing a
distinct division of the state. For this
purpose the state would be divided
into three districts. The first would
include Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Pas
sale, Sussex and Warren counties;
second, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex,
Union counties: third, Atlantic, Bur
lington, Camden, Cape May, Cumber-
land, Glouster and Salem counties.
The commissioners would be appointed
by an advisory board, which is also
created by the bill, consisting of tthe
Governor, President of the Senate,
Speaker of the House, and the Chief
of the Division of Geology, Depart
ment of Conservation and Develop
ment. The terms of the first commits
sioners are to be one, two and five
years, respectively, at a salary of
$4,000 per year, all appointments
thereafter to be for full term of five
years. A state engineer and an as
sistant are to be appointed by the
commissioners, the salary of the for
mer to be $1,000 and of the latter not
to exceed $1,000.
The second bill provides for the con-
solidation of the present department
of motor vehicles with the new road
department, and abolishes the Office of
commissioner of motor vehicles now
filled by the assistant secretary of
state. The third measure deals with
laws inconsistent with the proposed
.hange, and repeats them.

Ocean County Affairs.

The County Tax Board last week
cleaned UP its list of decisions on tax
appeals from the assessment of 1915.
One of the biggest reductions was
made in the borough of Beach Haven
where the Baldwin hotel, owned by the
estate of the late Charles T. Parry of
Philadelphia, of which w. Mercer
Baird is manager, was reduced on his
application from an assessment of
$66,250, to $4,000, drop of $21 $50.
The Beach Haven Realty Co., in
which Baird and a number of other
local men are interested, was reduced
from $4,000 to $38,31O. Mrs. Arthur
Brisbane, wife of the editor of the
Hearst papers in New Rork, and one
of the big property holders in the
neighborhood of Point Pleasant, had
$4,000 taken from an assessment of
$4,000. The Beachwood property in
Berkeley township was reduced from
$4,000 to $6O,495.
After 81 years of service, keepers
James R. Cox of Loveladies Island
station on Long Beach, and Abner R.
Herbert of Bay Head station were re-
tired on January 25. Each had been
in the service from young manhood,
first as surfman and then as keeper.
Under the retirement system they will
be taken care of by government pen
sions for life. Capt. Herbert, when a
surfman, received one of the gold
medals issued to the crews who helped
rescue the men from the schooner
George Taulane, in 1880, near Chad
wick. Superintendent John Cole also
announces that Britton Slocum, No. 2
man at Deal Beach station, is retired
after thirty years as surfman, and
will be pensioned for life. Edwin F.
Patterson No. man at Deal, becomes
keeper at Sea Bright; Charles w.
Cook of Sea Bright station becomes
No. man at Deal. Successors to the
retiring keepers have been recon-
mended by Superintendent Cole, but
have not yet been announced.
In Trenton Monday last Senator
Mathis announced that he had rec
commended the name of James D. Hol-
man of Whitesville to Governor Field
er for member of the tax board in
Ocean county to succeed A. B. Clute
of Lakewood. 1t is also said that the
Governor has kindly feeling toward
Prof. Clute; but the general impress
sion seems to be that there is an
agreement for Senator Mathis to
name the man for the tax board.

Whistle Scarab rhI.v.s.

s. Magari's ability to give a correct
imitation Of police whistle on his
fingers saved the days receipts of his
restaurant when lone robber entered
and drove him out of the back door.
Get out Of here, quick!" the robber
commanded as he entered the front
door of Magari's place, fourishing re-
volver. Magari dropped a pairing
knife and ran for the rear exit. AS
he passed through the door the robber
fired a shot at him. The bullet en-
bedded itself in the door casing.
On reaching the open Magari, with
his fingers to his lips, cut loose with
shrill whistle so nearly like the
metal whistles used by policemen that
the robber ran out of the place at top
speed.-Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
