white paper cost seven-eighths of cent
before it is put on the press. Then
comes the cost of setting the type, the
ink, the power to run the press and the
labor and postage connected with the
output. The News is sold for one dol

alone-nearly one-half the price of a
subscription.
At a meeting of the Burlington
County Lyceum of Natural History en-
Friday evening, James s. Hulme was
elected trustee to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Rev. James
Stoddard. The other officers were
re elected. The subject of keeping the
library open evenings was discussed,
and it was decided to try the expert
ment of opening two or three evenings
each week in January. If sufficient
interest is manifested to continue the
practice it will be done. Another ques-
ton that was debated was that of clear
ing one of the upstairs rooms now oc-
Icupied as a museum and fitting it UP
for meeting room for the various or
CARNATIONS that are in existence, like
