NEW POSTAL CARDS

Will lie Ready For Distribution On New Year's Day

Designs, for. the. new postal cards to be iBsued by tlio; government have been approved by Postm aster.Hitch­cock. The cards will be furnished to the Postolllce Department by the Government Printing. Office, in ac­cordance with a contract-effective on January 1, 1910.

On the ordinary card the head of the late President McKinley, appears, as; now, but a much better likeness has.been selected. On the new small card, intended for, index purposes and for social correspondence, a likeness of President Lincoln will appear. The 2-cent international card will bear a portrait ot Goneral Grant.

An innovation lias been made for tile double, or reply, postal card, On. the first half will appear a portrait oi George Washington, while the stamp on the second, or reply, hall will be a likeness of Martha Wash­ington. The borders of the stamps oil all of the cardB will be diversified In design. On all the cards the. words ' ‘Postal Cardj" required by the Universal Postal Union Con­vention, will, appear on the borders of the stamp, and not, as noW, as a separate Inscription; .

The paper to be used is the best for. the purpose yet manufactured. I t will be more attractive than the paper used in the present cards and w ill '“ take ink" better than the pa­per now employed.

There are reasons \Vliy it Is not ad­visable for cavalry to trot or gallop on its road marches. The trooper is re­quired to carry Ills three weapons— rifle, plstoi and saber—over n hundred rounds of. ball ammunition, his Uilan lcet, shelter tent, clinteen, extra horse-

;. A., in Forest and Stream, ami as twen­ty-live tidies is considered a fair day’s march it Is tints made in about seven hours, considering the necessary halts. The wagous carrying our supplies can go no faster than that, and there is

: rarely any advantage In reaching one's camping ground very much in advance of the wagons.

It is customary with individual tour­ists and campers .upon makiug camp to turn 'their horses loose aud either to Watch them or else trust to luck in the matter of tinning them again. We are. not permitted to do this iii the army. \Yo always mean to provide

.grain for our animals on the niarch. and when we arc unable to buy hay. en route aud th^ts havo to rely upon

-giving.-we -put' each horse out on a rope fastened to a picket pin driven in tlie ground.

On. the march' each mounted man carries ids lariat and pin attached to liis saddle aud as soon as he unsaddles seeks a good grazing place for his horse ami drives liis pin in tbe ground. Tho liorse • thus gets a limited area: upon which to graze. The pins an* changed once or twice during the even­ing. and as the horse stays all night on

;his' rppe he gets a pretty fair chance at the gras*. after, all, and when we

• want'hhn In the morning we can Hud him. •

The horses having been unsaddled and disposed of. the men then put up tlielv shelter tents. A shelter tent Is a convenient little affair made iu two halves to accommodate nicely two sol­diers. Kach soldier carries his half and his pole with him 011 liis blanket roll attached to Ills saddle, so as soon as he unsaddles lie can select his “bunkle" and put up. his tent. The of­ficers*, tents are wall tents, carried In the wagons and cannot be put up till the wagons coiue In. .

As soon as that takes place details o f men put up the officers* tents, get •wood and water for the cooKs. and the latter’ .build their fire imd at once set about getting supper. Soldiers like to have their food well cooked; but, bet­ter still, tliey appear to.like It prompt­ly cooked, and that; camp cook is al- wgys popular who yells “Coiue and get itl? just, a .little sooner than it is expected. i

Oil the march we eat but two meals ! a day. After.breakfast the cooks give each "imm a liberal sandwich of bacou j and bread. This the man incloses iii ; his meat can and when he gets bun- i gr.v eiits it. This constitutes Ids mid- 1 day meal.. Supper over, a guard is posted to Jook out for the safety of the. cauip, and the other men. usually collect fuel, build a rousing tire, gather round It * and amuse themselves by .shigiug. tell­ing yards and cracking jokes upon each other till bedtime, which comes pretty curly .with men on the march. The officers till iii the time In about

; the same'nianuer.'. On the:march one always has to rise eariy. There are so many tlilugs to be done in order to get the cavalcade fair­ly .on the road that early rising is es­sential; The guard rouses the cooks Vug beforo daylight, and by the time the horses are’ fed and . brushed off tho cook announces breakfast. After iireaUfast the tents are taken down,- wagons packed, the horses saddled, and the column Is once more on the march.

How Sugar .Melts.If we drop a lump of sugar into a

cup of tea .we find it takes a consider­able time to inelt if allowed to remain ht the. hot tom of t;he vessel, but If. we hold It up' in the Wpooii near the sur­face of the. liquid, it dissolves .much tuore rapidly.’ This Is owing , to the sugar as it melts -rendering the portion of tho rea containing It-hea-vlcr. The s we etc. ttcd .part, therefore; descends, leaving-ihe sugar constantly' in contact’ with unsweetened or .Only partially sweeteiied tea—iti fact. - a • continual circulation offinH ]: b promoted ' until the. whole 'Is. dissolved. When the sugar is placed or permitted to lie a t the; bottom of the < up It di.^dves until the layer of fluid neJit .lt is thoroughly swoeteried fir saturated,' when it prac­tically, ceases to dissolve any further, the sweeter.Od. and heavier stratum

It was morning lii Idaho. and Hit* sun was beaming pleasantly ‘upon Bar­ry Vail as lie rode alongside- I he Mg irrigating ennnl th a t In* had been sent to' Inspect.

“Many - si*11 lers; o n ; t be ' rescrvn I Ion. Jiin?" lie asked tho foreman.

“They are coming now that they see the canal Is a go, The nearest one Is Judge Rand. Ills shack’s up yonder. He’s In luck. Wo go right .through his*, ranch.” ‘ . . • ' '

Judge Hand! Vail wondered If U could be the same man he had Unown long ago. He concluded It was not possible.' ., “Which way do I take to his ranch?*' he asked.

“He’s generally clearing sagebrush this time of day. Follow the canal and you’ll likely run on him.”

Vail rode on. tilting Ills sombrero back arid humming a love tune. He was in a . contemplative mood this morning, and tin* word “Ilnnd” carried him back to the east, where he had .been born nnd bred, but whose dust he had shaken from his feet five years be­fore... Al'.-thiil time he had been in love with Kate Hand, an imperious, self willed girl One fateful day she had announced her intention of going to a' masquerade In 1 lie character ami dre«s of a page, Hfs young, conservative scruples Were horrified. lie objected, and when slie persisted hi carrying out her Intention his dictatorial attitude moved him to break the engagement. Immediately nfterwnrd lie secured an appoinimenl as civil engineer In 'the west.' Lately Ids love affair viewed at long range appeared a very boyish af­fair. . . . ;

When he came upon the solitary fig­ure digging doggedly at a resisting root lie recognised the man who had come so near being his father-in-law. There were mutual recognitions of pleasure, and then tlie judge explained that he had been caught in tbe finan­cial col? of Wall street nnd bad lost all his worldly'possessions.

" jnst enough left.” lie said, “to make a payment on WO acres here, which I shall put to potatoes: The spirit of the west has caught me. Barry. I wouldn’t go back into Wall street purgatory for any consideration.”

After Vail had related bis own expe- ’rlcnces and Inquired after the fortunes of mutual friends be asked almost sheepishly: < • .

“Did Kate come out here with you?” The judge was silent for « moment.

Then he said, with a sigh:•V'Can you picture Kate in the primi­tive life? She had an opportune Invi­tation to accompany some relatives on ■a trip abroad.”.

“And you. live out hero alone?” ex­claimed Vail pityingly.

’•No. I have my helper. Bill.. Wo arc very comfortable—a little shack for a living room and dining room com­bined, two sleeping tents and an out of door oven—a place for these parts.”

But Vail was not listening; fils at­tention was concentrated on a slender figure that was approaching lu the dis­tance. The figure was chid In khaki trousers, blue shirt, a red kerchief and a sunbonnet.

“Who in the world is that?” be asked. •The Judge turned hastily aud looked

confused. . . ‘ .“Oh"that's HUH. I want, him to go to

1 tlie next ranch on an errand for me. 'Excuse me a moment. I will tie back.”; lie hastened toward, t he sutihonncted figure, and after a moment’s conversa­tion the.-figure turned and went the way from which it. had come.

.“Your BUI doesn’t look' equal to much hard1 woWc!*’ observed Va II dryly.

: “Bill's all right at farm . work, or housework.” assured, the! jtidge. "lie’s >vlry. wlljing. enduring and, best of all, intensely interested in the development of the ranch.”

' “You see a good .many queer sights in Idaho.” remarked Vail, "but I’ll swear j ncrcr saw a man or lad wear*, lug ii sunlii-unei.” >. “Bill lost his one and only sombrero

in a reckless ride last week. He went to tbe nenresi ranch lo buy or borrow one. but I lie only superfluous headgear it bad was tlils sunbonnet. to which lie Is-quite attached. as he is.a little jfearful of Miiisirokes.” ;

“Well, 1 must return to the canal. I intend ,to be'neighborly, judge.”

"Of course, lii-t me see. . Come over tomorrow to dinner.” ;.•**/ /, Vail chuckled . softly ; as’.; lie rode away.. - '•■/-./. .. J ■

“I /wonder if the judge thought he could string inc..that- way.; I have, a very firin comvfc(Kin that. I1NJ Is Kate, and, remembering my. boyish horror of mule attire, the judge headed her/olT.I suppose lie.

He wondered what h is . reception would be, remembering the angry parting.

“I am Very glad to see you, Mr, Vail,'.’ she said courtedusiy. with ex­tended band; as be came up to her

i-IeVinstantly. 1 ook ihe cue, addressed her as Miss Rand and'avoided all allu­sion. ami reference to t he past. He wai •glad It was :1 o be this way.

“£)on’t you generally prepare it?” he couldn’t help asking.

"No,” , she said casually..- “Bill, the hejp. cooks, but he.is away.”

Vail decided to accept the little fic­tion regarding Bill nnd when the judge came home and was informed by his, daughter tiiat Bill had been called away for two weeks, which was just the length.of time Vail was to be In the vicinity, he never chauged expres­sion.

“Butb,” said the judge In reply. “Ruth!” interrupted Vail in surprise. She smiled.“Father calls me by my middle name

since we ciime out . here. It was my mother’s name, nnd he thinks I. am grooving to be illce her.”.

After supper; w;hen the judge and Vail had smoked rind chatted, a neigh­bor came to talk planting to the judge.

Barry proposed to Ruth (as .iie now liked to think of hen that they ride down tbe course of the canal. and she readily accepted. He remembered how well she used to ride and how well her boyish slimness looked in the saddle. But never in city parks could they Jiave had this glorious canter over the wind swept way on the ojien: plains. They came back In tbe glory of a west­ern moonlight.' When near the shack Barry drew rein. ’ \

“Sbull we.’’ he asked earnestly, “be­gin, nil over again?’’- ^

“Yes;” she replied in a lo\v tone. “That was -what V wanted to ask you 'to do.” ,' ■

For the next two weeks every mo­ment he coiild snateb from bis work Barry spent at the shackf Feeling that lie was depriving the judge of Bill’s help, he put In some effective work ou t lie ranch. In his rides, walks - and talks wltlr Khte Ruth lie felt a sense of intimacy he had never known when with the Ivate of olden days.

“Darling^” he said impetuously one night after a long silence, ‘’can you forget the past aud my boyish supe­riority?. Can you learn to iove me again. Kate?” ;

V-Don’t!” she cried breathless, “l am not Kate!”

He looked a t her in bewilderment.“I am '.Kate’s younger sister. I was

away at'school when you knew her, but I used to love to hear about you from father. 1 didn't know at tlie first that you mistook, me - for her, After- ward-rwell, I was afraid you would not care for me. but you can’t have her. She’s engaged.”

“Dear,” he said gently, “I don’t.want Kate. 1 want you. “whether you are Kate. Ruth or-Bill.”

HORRORS OF THE AnCTIC.

B ra in s F or D iet,. There is a latent truth In the primi­tive Jlaori belief that by eating the' braiiis of his enemies a warrior ac­quired tbelr skill and cunning. .

It was a custom among these sav­ages, whose descendants I have seen and admired in Hawaii and ^New Zea­land, to hold a brain feast after; a suc­cessful battle. The-conquering chief always reserved for his own portion the-gray matter of the opposing leader. Observe how the practice works out In modern life. We do not actually, eat

| our rivals’ brains,, but if we are wise i we , will try to . absorb what those* ! brains contain. The man w'ho makes a ; big success is the inan who makes the

best use of bis enemies, studies, their ; moves, learns tbelr method, knows !■ what thought processes they are apt to

follow. Down here In the street I i guess we’re more-or less akin to the Jlaoris. anyway.—New York Herald.

V' There" is something * radically- •Nvrong with.-the tax la\ys in New Jer­sey Avhen f a municipality cau be

vmulcted the same as. has Neptune: township within the past few years.

vXast :year following;the assessments '.levied against property in the town-, ship the County Tax Board, on the appeals made before that body,

"granted' reductions amounting in the aggregate to about $60,000, The tax 'ra te last year, we will say, was

/$ io-on each ? 1,00.0 of assessed valu­ation. Those reductions of $60,000 then, means that the township lost

. $5)00. Not only that, but the re­ductions having been, made after tub township had paid its proportion of; the State School and County tax,

’ about $275 mere was dropped, a to-, {al of $1,17.5, which, was a clear loss to Neptune township. Among tbe

..parcels upon which a tax reduction

. .was made last year was the meadow ‘ land just west of the railroad. From an assessment of ? 24,0 00 the figures were cut In half— $12,000. ". This,

• too, after the township had sent its taxe^ to the county authorities. On that transaction . alone Neptune township lost $230, This year an­

o th er reduction was asked on the same parcel of land. The assess* meht was cut down to ?6,000, and again Neptune township is tho loser by the. reduction.. It is not the pur­pose here to question land values, or the infallibility of the assessor, but

’• to protest against the method of making the tax reductions. If re- dncrions are to be made they should ije made before the township • 1ms

.-^writf'ovcr'to tbe’comity Its share of the State School and County tax on parcels the value of which is made a ;matter, of appeal to the County Board; or the township should be

.periuitted to withhold ■ payment to the comity .until all appeals are o.d-

/justed. As tbe m atter now stands '. Neptune township is losing annually ' by these, tax reductions in the man-,

ner-.indicated, a sum .of money sul'- Vijcient to pay Che Interest on al) of ' its .outstanding obligations. * .

. And so it appears that the agita­tion' across *the lake for a repeal of the Ocean Grove milo-limit law was spasmodic as well as sporadic. It quieted down about as quickly as it was stirred up. There is no wide- spread demand for tiie legalteed sale of liquor in Asbury Park. Mayor Appleby is against it. James . A.. Bradley, the founder of the beauti­ful city is against il, no matter; who may say lie was not always stout in liis opposition. Right-thinking peo­ple are against it. The voters wero against it wlien tiie Question was submitted to them several years ago.

, Nobody wants it save those who ex­pect; directly or-indirectly, to Ue-

vrive, a money revenue from it. - A ■•convention hall will bring more credit to Asbury Park than the cry for legalized rum. The agitation for a convention hall is timely.

• There is a coincidence in the fact that at about the time Elias 14. Ca»-

, non di.ed in Ocean Grove last Sun . day the dead body of his lifelong-

friend; John B. Mettler, was found fin hi^* home in Asbury ParK. The

getlier, and together came to the Twiii Cities, ,Mf. Cannon clioosihg Ocean Grove, as a place of residence

Oh tiie: heels o f th e installation of gas in Ocean Grove comes tbe edify­ing announcement that gas, ■! witli greater heating power than that now manufactured, - is promised by t)r. J. M. W. Kitchen, of East -Or­ange, and at ono-tenth the price charged in the cities, of tiie United" States. Pshaw, doctor 'Kitchen/ you should have, woke up last year or the year before. 'T h e Doctor claims,, and it is interesting to learn,, that his discovery will revolutionize , the Industrial and mechanical worlds, lie says •that; in flvp years there, will; not exist a : .municipality emitting forth from its .chimney . a single volume of black smoke. Still Aye are not much troubled, with ydlumes of black smoke in Ocean Grove, for we are. not; a manufacturing centre. In .aviation, in ’ autoniobiling, : hi. the whirring of wheels for. tlio; use Of commerce, in'lighting, in generating .heat, in r.unning street cars and tunnel and railroad trains, Dr. Kitchen predicts tliat his process of producing power will supersede steam and electricity. Maybe so.( It.is bound to come, sooner or later; A lid perhaps the East Orange man has hit upon the- very thing. But let us wait awhile and learn more about this wonderful new tiling which- is promised- Meanwhile we. urge upon the. good people o£ Ocean Grove to avail themselves of the op­portunity to secure gas .from ; the. lo­cal company now piping the town.

Dear, dear'. Here is anothertempest in a teapot. We were al­ways under the impression that the publicity bureau ‘of Asbury Park, Darning niiich fulsome .flattery of the director, was doing a good work/.and. 1) ere combs a' deponen t who saith -.not.:

Another director would have done the. saiiie, ))erhaps; but Mr. Deneger, having accomplished the job .must be given the credit. As we have frequently said, it. la pQyformance .vatlier than promise* that counts. .

Another .chapter: will have been added to the tax piizKle in Ocean Grove after the meeting of the Coun­ty Board In this place today (Fri­day.) -Whichever, way the Board de­cides relative to taxing leaseholds, we hope that ail persons interested will be thoroughly,.enllghtened on a question that is . puzzling the legal minds of the State. \ ...

YES; . WHY NOT?Hesldeilts of Summit object to the

erection of a sanitarium for con­sumptives iri the town. If Oeeup Grove may bar the sale of liquor, not only within the camp-meeting grounds hut within a radius of one mile thereof, why may not the peo­ple of a city or town prevent .the building of a sanitarium that is ob­jectionable to the great majority, of the residents?—especially : when there are within the State so many desirable sites that are practically- uninhabited.— Trenton Times.

. NO BACKWARD STEP.Asbury Paj-k, known throughout

the country as a temperance resort — a place where people , can go. out Without having the saloon,.'flaunted in. their face—-liiiH had a marvelous growth. Its rise to fame and favor taw tho’ gradual decadence ■ of . Long Branch and the passing of Sara­toga’s prestige w ith-their gambling houses and drinking places until Long Branch, shook off its Bhackles and rose Sphinx-like from its ashes of iniquity;

Asbury Park ought to have the right,to govern, its own affairsr The people there probably know, what Ib best for them. Some people may lioiiostly believe that the restrictions as 'to the sale Of liquor js a great handicap to its growth but the evi­dence is all to the contrary. In .the .Interest of ,the broad cause of tem­perance .it is to be sincerely hoped tliat the presenL effort at Asbury Park , will not be successful,-, that the “Queen City of the Sea” , will not take this backward step.—Red Bank.

; FOR THE P A R E N T S .-....;.How many of our school children'e

parents over visit the • schools or even know tiie teachers when they meet them on the street? How many lmow what their children are study-, ing, or how they are progressing? Is' (hero any of you who huve a build­ing to make or a fence to build; a dress to 'm ake; a house to paint, or what ever the job may be, that say to the one you have employed: "Here are the .tools and m aterial/ go ahead and do it to suit yourself and it will suit me.” Is not that what many of you avo doing - with your children. You say by your ac­tions; .. ‘fl-lere ;is my child, with its books, papers nnd pencil, I've fur­nished material and'tools, I.' educate, iiiill ary o u like.” Now we hear some of you say: "“The. teacher knowsbetter wiiat they oiight to study than I do..” f While that may bo, in part tvue tho carpenter, or a dressmaker, or ti .painter, knows better how to do tt>e work than you, yet you do not leave it all to them. On the rising generation depends the welfare of this great nation. Patrons and par- ents, take more interest in our schools often, nnd by your presence give the teachers more encourage­ment; ask them how your children are doing. Perhaps.a few minutes' talk with them will save trouble that years to come csin never undo. Think "about this and. ask yourself if you are doing right.— Keyport Enterprise. :"v;f

MILE-LIMIT LAW.... President P ittenger‘of tho Asbury Park Board of Trade, a t a meeting of tlmt body .last Week, advocated the repeal of the one-mile limit,law. which prevents the legal. sale of 11- .quqr in tliat 'c lty .- . Efforts are to be made at tills session of the leg is ­lature .to open the door for Ute sale of liquor at Asbury Park, as tbe one thing.tlint will make tbat city more prosperous 'in a business way.

I t Will be a sorry day. for the great’ majority of tiie residen ts' there when that, is accomplishedj and any effort on the part of the Monmouth mem- bbrs'.oC tiie Legislature to bring that about .will he most ' Beverely. con. denined by tbe ni oral people of the county, aiid their future political as­pirations will be doomed ■ ,

If ..those who are now' clamoring for the legal right .to sell liquor ate not satisfied with present conditions it is tiiolr privilege to go elsewhore. They know when they settled there what the law was and Is, and they wont there in spite of that knowl­edge. Others went there, also, knowing the law and it was this re­striction Which induced thorn I" Huy and make the place thoir home. As­bury Park has beon raude the lead­ing city In the county In spite of tho liq u or restrictions nnd it will con­tinue to remain so if present condi­tions remain. Long Branch with its scores of,-drinking places sbowB no such growth as Asbury Park, and while the latter for a number o t years lias been . having. ’prosperous business seasons Long. Branch has been reported dead upon more than one occasion and a bond isstie of bov-. eral hundred thousand dollars was . thought" to be necessary, to bring back some of the old-time prestigo of that city. But tho remedy did not provo the panacea it waB hoped to and tlio growth of tho city is nearly wholly duo to local conditions and not to immigration; Asbury Park's Board of Trade should • advocate

some other method to “ b r i n g " ; pros­perity” to th e city’than the one It is how fostering.— Matawan Journal,-.

manNaturo Has In Some Peculiar Way

Produced This Rare .Form of Carbon and Then Thrown Away the Secret of the Process—Found Only In Brazil,

. Tlio term “black dhimonds” is some­times Joldn^Jy ujipliwi to ordinary coal which-we burn in our furnaces, but the real "black diamonds" of com­merce are nmoug tho most unique min­eral products of the world, and tliey serve a purpose in the industrial world that makes them of great value. Tlie black diamonds arc pure; carbon und yet iu no outward appearance resem*. bio the d in in on els which we are accus­tomed to wear. as orna ments. They are slightly harder than the crystal or gem diamonds and, In fact, about the hardest substance known, •

Black diamonds, or carbons, arc among the greatest curiosities of the mineral kingdom. They are without crystalline form and are found iu ir­regular pieces,: ranging In size, from

.half.a carat up to three, four and five hundred carats. They arc dark gray, black or brownish in color and opaque. Tlio real diamond of the jewelry trade , is also pure carbon, but translucent and crystalline in form. Two objects so alike iu composition could not bo found so .opposite in appearance as "these two forms of carbon.

Another peculiar thing nbout the black diamonds is that they are found only in ono locality in tbe world. They come from n very small section of Bra­zil not more than 225 miles square in

. jar ea. Outside of this limited territory no puro black diamonds have ever been found.’

v What peculiar freak of uature caus­ed the deposition of the black dia­monds iu this section of the world and nowitere else is one of the mysteries which science has failed to explain. None of them lias, been found in the- great Kimberley diamond regions,

vwhere the crystal form of diamonds have for so long bc6n mined.

The wliole origin of the black dia­mond is, therefore, a selentlilc enigma. Naturally the question is raised, “Of

.Avlmt use Is n black diamondV’ No one would care to wear one of these diamonds, which resembles a piece of coal more than a real diamond, and so far no one has popularized the black

. gems as the black pearl has been.. Nevertheless the black diamonds serve a most Important and useful function in the industrial world. .

— K*i>‘i>ure black carbon is not only harder than the real diamond, but tougher and not so brittle as the gem. Consequently it is of great value fo r . many mechanical purposes and partic­ularly for boring with diamond drills. In diamond drilling the tips of the drills are studded with carbon, or black diamonds, nnd when tho bores ave deep the pressure is so great that therein diamonds would be.crushed in tiie process. Hut the carbon resists this continued pressure and slowly eats down Into tho rocks... . In diamond drill work the carbon is set jli circular pieces of soft steel or iron,' called bits, and those bits are at­tached to tubing. Armed with these black diamond teeth, the drills push their way down 'under severe pressure to a' depth of live nnd six thousand feet, cutting through the* hardest kind of rock. Some black diamonds are much harder than others, and there is no way to deUM-miUL* by tho color (he difference In this decree of toughness.

Muck diamond* or pure carbon are not by uny means cheap, and tlie own­ers of the mines in limy.)J where they are gathered are making a good thing out: of their monopoly. There is no known, substance that can take the place of carbon in drills iu boring for gold, silver, copper and other mineral deposits. Before tiie black diamonds of Brazil-were discovered It was Im­possible' to make borings.

When the. cavbon was first introduc­ed in our Industries it was .used in diamond saws for cutting stones, mur-

■ ble und similar' substances. \Thcti tlie price advanced so that tho carbon was found too cosily lor such use, and bort was substituted for stone rui ting. Bort is really an imperfeeL crystal or geui diamond, but It is loo brittlu for use iu drills. Cousoi|iu*ntly bort has tak­en I lie place of black diamonds for stone cutting, and the latter have been restricted almost entirely to diamond, drilling purposes.

Tlie-average si/e of black diamonds used in the drills- ranges from two to live c a r a t b u t the larger specimens give much heller results. They .cost more, but they last nmger. Conse­quently there is a greater ilemaml for the larger pieces of pure carbon; and the price is sometimes run• up to pre­

m ium ilgures for unusual specimens., The feiir dial I he supply of black diamonds may some. day. give out and paralyze .the diamond drilling Industry lms. stimulated prospectors lo syste­matic Search for new deposits, but so far ibe.v have not been successful. <»n the other hand, sclcnlists ‘have, been milKlug n chise study- of the cltendcal conditions wlili/U have produced^ the black (Uaiuonds...bu t ?J»c!r m.innf.ieinre

But his blood boiled.. Hilton, that degenerate son o f th e over rich— it would be hideoiis! He did Hilton injustice, however, for he really:, was , decent enough in his way,; The doctor decided to call a t the. Kings' just for a moment. As he turned the.corner he saw the other, man swinging- along, evidently bound'for tiie same goal.

And, like a flnsli, John Trevor knew that there was but one important thing in the. whole world,; and. that was to get to Mary Treuton—(Irst.

‘’Come—over into the shade,” she said.

Dr. John Trevor lifted his big rum- i pled black head from his book and,

with his rnlud still full of ;‘Minor Sur- ' . gety,” scowled on his friend who had

• seems that one will not stir without the .other. 1 wish to goodness you

. would lake Miss Trenton to the club dance tonight.”

The doctor looked his friend over . with good nntured contempt. He wns

a ‘suapshot diagnostician. No need to •look a t Morton’s tongue. It always• 'proclaimed its owner’s ailment In time.

. ’‘“Again!” he-, remarked caustically. “The hundredth time since I have

Wiiat is the im- nortniit thing in your life anyway? i f the law’ Js like medicine you should give some time to. your profession, and it, looks to me as if you do noth­ing but trail about after some pretty: bundle of skirts. It’s well enough, but you.don’t seem to bo landing anywhere in particular.” .

“Well, it’s serious this time. If I thought she would—have me T d —do— anything! I’m hard hit. I think she likes me too. Rut how much? I can't get her alone if you don’t help me. No-

. . body else.in this empty town is tit to■ amuse that little cousin of.hers. You

remember her? Little and blond and —awfully sweet, yon know;”

The doctor tried to call up Mary Trenton’s face.

“Seems'to me I do,” he said thought- •fuily. Morton groaned.

“To think of any human man having to remember Mary Trentou—that is, unless lie had seen her cousin*. Are

■ you going to lie decent the next two weeks, Trevor?”

“Sure thing,* boy! Make your plans, and I’ll , play dummy, anything to do

. you a good turn. Rut let me tell you this—the important thing with me is to

S . build up ray practice and ground my- sfelf nt every turn hi my profession. 1 want another year abroad; 1 want the best piano money can buy. for I miss my music; l want a pedigreed .Boston terrier and a motorcar that can’t be beat.

Vredenburgh’s Chance For Speaker­ship Now Seems Slim

Tuesday, December 14, has been fixed us the date of tiie Assembly. Caucus at the State House, Trenton. It Is now practically assured that Harry Ward, of Bergen, will be the next Speaker, and Walter 13. Edge, of Atlantic, the majority leader, al­though the members opposing'.'this s la te ;still haye hopes of breaking it,, .. Some of tiie older / members con­tinue ..their opposition to the. selec­tion of Colonel ISdge as the leader, on the ground that he is a- first terra man, but the indications are that; they w ill.all line up for him when the caucus gets together. ;

Captain “Jim*’ Parker will, for the eleventh tlnie, be chosen.; as clerk- of the House, and Upton Jef­fries,, !of Camden, will be .hfs- assist­ant.

Assemblyman Isaac T, Nichols, of Cumberland, put in a busy day last Tuesday asking his friends to urge Governor Fort to appoint him to the State Board £or the Equalization of Taxes, in the place of Major Lentz, Whose, term expires early next year. Mr. Nichols felt sure of landing the plum..'

Senator Edmund W. Wakelee, of Bergen, who came to the State Ilbiise to put the finishing touches on the Ward-E<lge slate, expressed some decided opinions on the pres­ent primary law of the State, and in­timated that he may-..have some amendments to offer when the Legis­lature meets^ Senator Wakelee thinks that the better way to remedy the law is to.first deflno who shall vote a t party primaries, and he strongly favored the enrollment sys­tem now used in New York, with some changes to bring it more up to date. That is, In the Bergen Sena^ to r’s opinion, when a voter goeB to the polls on Election Day he Shall also have the privilege of enrolling in either of the parties, and none but voters thus enrolled can vote at the primaries. Should an enrolled voter change his residence he can apply to the court in a day set aside for the .purpose and have the correc­tion made, but under no : cireum* stances can any change be made within thirty, days of the primaries. Many of the lawmakers present thought Senator Wakelee’s views sound.

A DREAM CAT.Repeated Appearance Premonitory of

That was ail there was to the dream, or, at any rate, tiiat was all I remembered oh awakening in the morning, and, natu­rally enough, I dismissed it from my mind as nothing but a dream.

“But when I found myself dreaming the same dream again and again I be­gan to wonder w’hat significance it would posSiloiy have. Usually it varied greatly in minor detail. Always, how­ever, the' climax wa** the same—the eat had me by the throat and w as bit­ing. and scratching viciously. Alto­gether I dreamed this dream not less than a score of times in six months.

“Shortly before Christmas I took n cold, which settled hi; my throat,, af­fecting it so badly as to require the attention of a s^ieciallst.
