The definite announcement of Al
derman Gannon made through the
Evening News yesterday will doubt
less put an end to the unwarranted
nse of his name in connection with
the senatorial nomination which
some of the county papers have enjoy
ed discussing. This apparently leaves
the nomination free for Mayor Vieh
mann, of Now Brunswick.
The Republicans still favor Assemb
lyman Jackson and if he is nominated,
it will be two New Brunswick men
in the ring and the fight will center
■w *■ in that city. The many friends of
Mr. Gannon will be glad to know that
he is in line to go back to the
assembly and his record at Trenton
in connection witli the local fire de
Iient will go a great way toward
him for a second term. Mr.t
on is young, his entrance into
cs is comparatively recent and

HH^Hsater things which

The fact that the new tax rate gives
the city but $4,000 more to meet ex
penses which are increasing every
year is very disoouraging. The sole
object was to increase the annual
appropriations, but $4,000 is no more
■ than is neeaed for the lighting appro
priation alone, not mentioning street
^ repairs, street improvements, police
force and a hundred other things.
Something seems to be wrong some
where. The taxpayers would be more
willing to pay the additional taxes if
they were going to got most of the
benefit directly, but when $22,000 goes
to the county and there is only $4,000
increase for the city, it is no wonder
everybody complains.
No end of trouble is boing experi
enced all over the State in regards to
the new primary law. In Trenton
several of the petitions received by
the city clerk have had to be returned
and all kinds of mistakes have been
made. No one disputes tho fact that
the law is somewhat complicated, but
with all its faults, it is a step in the
right direction. At least, no man can
say he was prevented from having his
name on the ballot because of tho
party bosses.
There promises to be plenty of work
for tho Commissioners of Appeal
when they meet. It now seems evi
dent that the aldermen, in the little
time they have, will be unable to
change the valuations fixed by the
assessors, for if the work was attempt
ed the entire city would have to be
gone over. Those persons dissatisfied
with their valuations will be forced
to appeal and it will be for the com
issioners to examine the whole tax
list, changing where they deem it
proper.

|HHHpn a young man, \\a- visiting at ihe .
of friends, relates the Detroit
^Free Press, The boy of the family re
lated that at Sunday school that morn
ing they had studied a map of the
holy land. ‘•And, papa,” he continued,
"do you know that Mr. Wilson, who
sit* in front of us. his bald head looks
Just like the map of the holy laud.”
The boy was hushed. That evening
The entire party went to church. Wflile
the pastor was reading announcements
the boy looked intently at Mr. Wilson's
'barren head. Involuntarily the others
did the same, no doubt recalling the
allusion of the morning. A fly alighted
on Mr. Wilson's geographical pate.
“The amount received in the collec
tion this morning will enable us to send
another missionary to the holy land,”
read the pastor. "It will depend upon
your future contributions whether oi
not we will keep him there.”
At this moment Wilson’s hand swept
The intruding fly from the regions sug
gesting the holy land. The boy went
into convulsions. To preserve the dig
nity of the service the others soon
left, for their risibilities were fast
getting beyond control.

HIm Idea of Prayer.
Harold, the five-year-old son of the
Presbyterian minister of Dayton, Ky.,
was being prepared for bed. He had
spent a very active day at coasting,
and was weary and very sleepy.
"Now, Harold, knee! down by mam
ma and say your little prayer.”
"But, mamma—” half asleep, with
Jis head on her shoulder.
"Be mamma's good boy. now,” coax
ingly.
“Thank God for all His goodness to
you.”
But Harold was asleep.
His mamma gently aroused him.
‘‘Harold, don’t be naughty. He a good
boy, now, and thank Jesus for the nice
home you have, the warm clothing and
fire to keep you warm, and a mamma
and papa to love you. Think of the
poor little boys who are hungry and
cold to-night, no mamma to love them,
no warm bed to go to. and—”
"But, mamma,” interrupted the
sleepy boy, roused to a protest, “I
think them’s th’ fellers that ort to do
the prayin’.”—Will M. Hundley, in
Lippincott's.
The Cut Direct.
The president of a downtown bank
has lately issued ;^ew order to the
numerous employes. He has been dis
turbed by the great accumulation of
bills representing stationery, pencils,
etc., which have been called for by the
clerks and others. The new order reads:
“Hereafter anyone in need of supplies
will sign a written request for same and
deposit it with the cashier.”
The first morning after the notice
was up somebody borrowed the cash
ier's scissors during his absence, and
left two disjointed halves of another
pair, upopn his desk. The cashier, who
believes in “obeying orders if you
break owners,” immediately wrote out
a requisition on the engineer for a
rivet.
The president’s order was taken down
next day. He says the boys are too
sharp.—Philadelphia Press.

HOW TO EAT SWTEET CORN.
1 Helpfnl SntciieNt inn Which Will
Meet with General Favor
W lien Adopted.
We have decided that corn boiled on
the ear tastes better as a separate course,
and it is accordingly served immediate
ly after the meat. After being care
fully looked over for shreds of imbed
ded husk and stray silk it is thrown
into rapidly boiling water and cooked
for ten minutes, counting front the time
that the water bubbles again; it is
then drained and taken to table wrapped
in the folds of a napkin of ample size.
Set beside each person a finger-bowl—
an essential not to be forgotten—and
before each a plate holding a ball of
butter, a spreader and a fork, says Good
Housekeeping.
Hulls are not only useless as food, but
are very irritating to the digestive or
gans. Why not leave them on the cob
by the following quick and not un
graceful method? With the corn resting
on the plate, hold it firmly
by the stalk end. and. if it is hot—
as it should be—you will not think a
small corn doily superfluous. Take a
fork in the right hand so that one tine
only is in position to lie inserted length
wise into a row of kernels, beginning at
tip end of the cob. Thrust in the fork
and by a slight upward motion of the
hand raise the handle, ar.d me tine win
cut through the top of 11<- kernels; con
tinue up the row. not attempting to in
sert the whole length of the tine at each
stage of your progress. V\ ueu you have
scored every row, season well—but that
is superfluous! When the least is over,
you will have what you wanted and the
hulls will be where they were when you
began—the very best place for them.
Eating corn from the cob could not
by any device yet known be made to
figure as an elegant proceeding, but
many care for it iri no other way. An
improvement, so far as appearance goes,
results from breaking the cob in two
before attacking further; nevertheless
the indulgence “levels all, both great
and small.”
THE ATHLETIC GIRL.
Muy Be TltoiiK'bl “>ln 11 nisli" by Koine,
But UcuitM ItewuiMl .Meiitnlly
nutl Physically.
The outdoor girl has always been
considered womanly simply because
she is so. Both artists and poets have
pictured her as a type of young wo
manhood, There is no reason why
the active, athletic girl should be
“mannish.” Occasionally a silly girl in
quest of distinctiveness puts on men's
ways and apparel—and always to the
disgust of tlie womanly girl and any
thing but admiration to the opposite
sex, says American Queen.
Of course, the outdoor girl has and
will ever have her enemies; but, as a
rule, the criticism comes from either
prudes or from other girls whose arti
ficial make-up would not admit of any
violent form of exercise. The prudish
people who rise in indignation have no
tenable argument to offer, and the lat
ter objectors would gladly follow suit --
if they could. So, tiling isi really noth
ing in the way of options for the
athletic girl to fear. Tills she knows,
so she goes her hygienic ways, reap
ing a rich reward physically and men
tally tor her outdoor exercise and pleas
ure.
Many of the college trainers are doc
tors who are elated over the beneficial
and ever refining influence of athletics,
because it develops a girl along nor
mal, healthful lines; and. unless car
ried to extremes, which is not often
the case, can bring nothing butjgood
results for the girl herself. When the
lungs are filled with fresh air and the
blood circulates as it should, ii is in
deed a beneficent means by which such
icsimci i an uc uciaiucu.
From a broad, logical standpoint the
athletic girl is the real girl, the type
of perfect girlhood and the potential
mother of a race physically and men
•■ally sound.

ICE FORMS IN SUMMER.
Bill in Penimylvanla ContninM a Cave
Tbnt 1h Coldent In Warm
Weather.
One of the most remarkable freaks of
nature to he tc%nd in the United States,
not in tue world, exists about a half
hour's riue east of Coudersport, Pa.,
near a little hamlet knowu by the name
of Sweden Valley. It is called the “ice
cave.” Some years ago, while excava
tions were going on in the construction
of a railroad, a short distance under the
surface of the side hill ice several inches
in thickness was found in crevices in the
rock in midsummer. Later it was dis
covered that on a large portion of the
side hill facing the north, along which
the railroad was being built, ice was to
be found only a few inches under tho
ground late in the summer, says the New
York Tribune.
Some persons, thinking the phenome
non indicated the presence of some sort
of mineral in the locality, began exca
vations in the side hill. An excavation
nearly 20 feet deep was made directly in
to the hill, and about ten feet from the
surface of the ground down to the level
of the excavation, finding ice and a pe
culiar formation of rock, but no evidence
of valuable mineral. A shaft was then
dug at the back part of the c-xeavation
about eight feet square and 18 feet deep.
As warm weather came on ice began to
form along the sides of the shaft from
the waler which dripped down the sides
of the shaft, until the work had to be
abandoned. The singular feature of the
freezing was that on the hottest days,
when the air was dry, the ice formed the
fastest, sometimes an inch or more in
a day. It continued to form until about
the middle of August, when the freezing
stopped, and by November 1 the ice had
nearly all disappeared. There was no
appearance of ice again until the follow
ing April, when, as the wpather began
to get warm, the ice again began to
form, increasing in thickness as the
weather grew warmer, until by the mid
dle of July the ice was fully 18 inches In
thickness in places in the well or cave.
Angleworms, lizards, etc., would be
frozen into the ice as they attempted to
crawl down the surface.
This ice formation extended to within
a few inches of the top of the excavation,
often being several inches thick when
the summer sun was shining directly up
on It. A currert of cold air is constantly
coming from the mouth of the excava
tion in hot weather, and is greatest on
! very hot days, when the outside air is
dryest. A thick fog at times forms over
the mouth of the cave, caused by the
cold aircoming in contact with the warm
air outside. At the present time the ice
is to be found in the cave more than a
font ihiek', all or which hasformed since
April 1 last. When the thermometer
stands at 90 degrees outside, the air In
the nave, only 18 feet from the surface,
stands at the freezing point. The sharp
spines of the forming ice can be seen
at any time in midday, or when the sun
Is shining outside and the thermometer
is at the highest point it reaches in sum
mer. Another remarkable thing is that
the current of cold air appears only in
warm weather, ceasing as the weather
gets colder.
The mayor of one of the large manu
facturing cities of Kngland visited the
place two years since, and when asked
what he thought of it, said: "I am gen
erally credited at home as a truthful
man, but if 1 went home and told what
T have seen here to-day I should not ex
pect to he believed. The whole thing is
apparently directly contrary to nature.”
WHITE LINES IN FINGER-NAILS
German Mctllcnl Expert Says They
Are an Indication of
Ilegcnc nicy.
A medical writer in the Frankfurter
Zeitung gives some curious particulars
about the white lines which cross fin
ger nails. These are signs of disturb
ing in the organism at the time thev
were formed. They often form during
serious illness.
The proportion of normally consti
tuted persons who have these lines on
their finger nails is from ten to 11 per
cent., while 4t> per cent, of criminals
have them, 47 per cent, of the demi
monde, 43 per cent, of idiots, and 50
per cent, of lunatics. Sufferers from
melancholia show a large percentage,
but the largest percentage—75—Is
among those who are periodically dan
gerous lunatics.
The writer comes to the conclusion
that these lines denote some degeneracy
of the upper nervous system; that they
the not purely physical, but are con
nected with physical, moral, and Intel
lectual change.
