SATAN’S THRONE IN BEfiLffi
Not, However, the teat of the Kaiser's
Authority, ae One Might Rs*.
eonably Suppose.
In order to understand where tha
throne of Satan came from and how
It came to Berlin, It Is necessary to
open the pages of ancient history and
renew our acquaintance with Perga
mum.
Pergamum (Pergamos or Pergamon)
was the ancient capital of Mysla, In
Asia Minor, It was about three miles
north of the Calcus river and fifteen
or twenty miles from the Aegean sea.
Under the Greek rule of Attalus I
(241-197 B. 0.) It became not only a
powerful city but also the center of
the artistic and literary life of Asia.
Attalus built many wonderful
temples, altars and monuments that
attracted the attention of the entire
world. His son Eumenes H (197-159
B. C.) carried on the policy of his fa
ther. He founded the famous Perga
mum library, which contained 200,000
volumes. This library was later re
moved to Egypt by Antony and pre
sented by him to Cleopatra.
Attalus III bequeathed his treasures
and the kingdom of which Pergamum
was the capital to Rome, and so, at
his death, In 183 B. C., It became a
Roman province. This was the first
Roman province on Asiatic soli.
Carl Hurnann, a civil engineer, who
had traveled In Asia Minor, induced
the Berlin museum to fit out an expe
dition to excavate for the bidden
treasures of ancient Pergamum. In
1886, at the close of the third cam
paign, Hurnann and a friend named
Conze unearthed the great altar and
the site of the library. Subsequent
expeditions uncovered many treasures.
The great altar was shipped, piece
by piece, to Berlin and re-erected In
the Kaiser Friedrich museum. A few
parts of it are in Constantinople.
However, the central and main por
tion of Satan's throne Is In Berlin.
With the throne of Satan In Berlin
it Is not difficult to understand the
military ambitions and actions of the
German government.
Amusements for Employees.
The secret of having thoughtful care
for the amusement of employees Is
not a new discovery. It has been in
use for more than a generation by one
of the most successful department
store proprietors now In this country.
The "Bon Marche” also introduced the
Idea In Paris years ago. New York
merchants arrange picnics and dance*
for their woman and man clerks.

Treat ’Em Rough.
This applies to all garden Insects,
for none of them are there with an
honest purpose, says the National War
Garden commission In a bulletin. If
yon discover that one or more bills
of your canteloupes are Infested with
plant lice, the only thing to do Is to
pull the plants up and carry them off
and burn them. But In doing so you
should put them In a tight receptacle
of some kind so that none of the lice
drop off and get on other plants for
they will multiply rapidly and you will
have part of your fight OTer again.
As for squash bugs If they begin to
snck sap until their skins burst, spray
the canteloupe vines with nicotine sul
phate, soap and water. Old squash
bugs can be trapped under pieces of
board placed near the plants. They
will hide at night under these boards
and may be killed In the morning.
Soldiers’ Swear Words.
Despite the chaplains, the men de
veloped the habit of swearing; soldiers
always have. War requires emphatic
expression. It destroys flexibility of
expression—and “damn" and “hell” do
seem the fullest description of a sol
dier’s occupation.
“It’s an Innocent kind of swearing?
though,” said a chaplain. “It does not
really blaspheme, and the men will fall
out of the habit when they return
home. They don’t do It In a chaplain's
presence—unless they are under Are,
when chaplains are too busy to attend
to such details.”
They did not swear when they were
In the presence of women and least
of all In the hospitals where they were
ministered to by those hard working,
practical, noble army nurses who sub
mitted to discipline as sharp as that
of the men, and where they learned
to appreciate womanhood at its best.
Walks Upside Down.
Because he walks upside down as
well as right side up, the black-and
white warbler is also frequently called
the black-and-white creeper, says the
American Forestry association of
Washington, which Is conducting the
national birdhouse building contest.
This bird has been called a symphony
in black and white because of the
beautiful manner In which these two
colors are used over his body. His
heaj Is barred black and white with
a white stripe over each eye; he has
wing bars on each wing and the Inner
webs of his outer tall feathers are
white patched. This bird gets most
of his food by gathering Insects and
grubs from the crevices Id the bark of
trees, thus destroying pests which
might work injury to fine trend
FORTUNE LOST IN STRIKES
Labor Disorders in Ruhr Coal District
of Germany Prove Financial
Disaster.
Berlin.—The strike recently conclud
ed In the Ruhr coal district has cost
the miners $8,000,000 In wages. The
output deficit for April Is 3,330,000
tons, representing more than $34,000,
000.00. The loss to physical property
is believed to be so great as to pre
clude profitable operation for a long
time to come.
The miners In the Ruhr coal fields
are more than $25,000,000 out on their
wages account as the strikes have been
going on Intermittently since the begin
ning of the revolution. In the Ham
bom district miners struck 63 days out
of 140 working days between November
9 and April 28.
The loss to the nation as a result of
the coal strikes cannot be computed. It
caused a general paralysis of railway
trnfflc. the shutting down of Industrial
plants and a loss of revenue and
freight to the state railways. The na
tional strike fever Is believed to have
caused a depreciation In the national
currency of more than $4,000,000,000,
and to have aided to repress the value
of the German mark abroad.
History Repeats Itself.
History repeats Itself In baseball as
well as In world politics. Last spring
after the Dodgers lost their first nine
games the Giants broke their losing
streak for them. This spring after the
Braves lost their first nine games the
Giants again were willing to appease
suffering and lost a game to Boston.

SOME FACTS
Never before in the real estate development of
j - Perth Amboy’s suburbs has such an opportunity
been offered to the homeseeker or the investor. The ,
f whole property is highly restricted, and these re
strictions are rigidly adhered to. Lots are sold only
i * to the most desirable people; and although this is a
difficult thing to accomplish, we believe the advan
tages more than compensate for the standards we
maintain, wnen you ouy ai xvariLan *»»uor you uuy
in the surety that your neighbors will be the sort of.
people you will want for neighbors. How much this means to the homeseeker is
so obvious that it needs no further comment. The restrictions are purely for the
buer’s benefit and for the mutual benefit of the Manor property owners, and are
of such a character as to appeal most heartily to those who desire homes in a
residential community of the highest type.
What Raritan Manor Is
Jump aboard a Middlesex trolley or a Fords-Metuchen Bus, pay just a single fare- -and
in twenty minutes you are on the grounds. Go a block farther and you pay two fares, Raritan
Manor is within the one fare zone. This is the first point that’s worth remembering.
Ten minutes beyond, by frequent trolley service, is the Metuchen station on the main line
of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
The property itself is located on New Brunswick Avenue , right opposite the wide lawns
and dark evergreens of the famous Bloomfield Mansion. New Brunswick Avenue here is a
boulevard, 125 feet wide, with a strip of lawn and a row of shade trees dividing its two road
ways. The Bloomfield estate sweeps back to a lofty, tree-crowned hill. This is the outlook to
ward the north from the Safr»n property. To the south it drops in a gentle slope toward the •
Raritan River, which may be seen in little vistas through the treetops uf the lowland meadows.
All about, particularly to the north and west, lies fine, open country—the kind of coun
<„ try it is a pleasure to stroll through, the kind of country where the youngsters grow up happy
and healthy an dtanned. Raritan Manor is high and di'y and healthful, more than 100 feet
above the level of the sea.
