Ladles*. A uxiliary Gives Cordial Greeting:: to Many People.

• One of bile most enjoyable receptions •’Over given -’:by the Ladies’ Auxiliary was that of Monday night, in Associa­tion Hall. Awhile the severe cold wea­ther k ep td o w n tlie . attendance, the large hali was- comfortably illled, and everybody present had a part in the exchange of good fellowship. - ...;/;/ The decorations from ;the Associa­tion's late anniversary celebration had •been left intact in the hall,; and with a few touches here and where and -the addition of an arch o r two, the room presented a beautiful appearance,

%)“A vportion of the room was arched off. Here at tables glistening. with silver,, glass, and china sat the matrons .of the auxiliary and poureu coffee.: "A number of young ladies of Ocean Grove made acceptable waitresses, and were kept “busy, supplying the . w ants.oftlie visitors. <A special rule adopted by the/Auxiliary . excluded: children from the-reception unless accompanied by 'their parents ;or guardians.^ For this reason there was an absence .of the

■ noise and confusion 'Which attended several of Jast year's receptions when •children (especially half-grown boys) were;’'admitted promiscuously and no one was responsible for their helxurlmy

:>/;The refreshments- consisted of .coffee. Varid cake. There was an , abundance of both for. everybody:'. ‘ : v.—rf .^D uring the evening a musical pro­gramme w as' rendered by. Mrs. C. M. Waf-d, soprano, who sang several solos; i Mrs. R. H. Carr, of Brooklyn, soprano; Dr. : O/ B. 331rd; who gave several liu-

}morous.numbers,; and Mrs; Pare ons and Mrs* Snow, who sang a duett.'; / ./ ^

Article 7, Section 100, Division 12,— The .suggestion is .made .thatVthis^ -seer, tioii be so' changed as to; give liower to boards; of education to', borrow up.

..to the. full amount of the special tax' voted, foiV: the schools .by • the people a t thei.r/annual meeting a t periods dur- ing t he school year , when-, it' may - be­come necessary to do so, and that tlie Interest, on silch loans be paid by the , township; and not be taken from' the school funds. The argument is this:,- There exists just as .much need for .bor­rowing money ‘ during: the/last of the

; school year;vas ^befprevtlie^ newlyrlaid taxes are not collected. In any one year, and very bfteU.the' back taxes. will riot . yield snlliclen t to majce ,upf or what may' be lacking in the. present year’s taxes; We find also a great unwillingness on the part of the Township'Collector and the Township' Committee to permit- thc use Of any of Hie<money belonging;to the Township to pay- school orders as provided for by. hnv .and we 1k*iieve that the less .the board Is hampered by connection; witli the Township officials the better.it will bo for' t'he.adminis-.

Regarding the interest charges-it is contended th a t: these otight of right bo paid by the township out of its ftinds because it fails to provide the* sehool boa rd/with; the money, n eeded to carry. on its work, and that tho* interest charges would ; take from , the current expenses of the school fund an amount ^vhloh if hot provided ;for^Iri tlie^ an-; nual budget' could not weli bo spar3d

. from tlier account. There is one other side to tlie argument which is advanced that the school board ought ‘ to have • power to borrow to tho full extent of the taxes - laid; for school1 purposes and that is, that if the board - cannot de­pend on receiving- the full amoifnt from tlio township officials it must of ne-;

SKUNK FARMING.A n . A g r i c u l t u r a l O fU clu l S n y s T J ic r o

i t r c M i l l i o n ) i n U . ; - ."T here 's m oney In a skunk • farm ,”

said -an official o r the) A gricultural. De­partm ent, "and skunk farm ing will some day lie a g rea t Industry J n tills country. ~ ^ ie r e ’s a b a rre l1 of money in the business, and ycit the m an wlio sug­gested i t was 'regarded as out of his head. I td o ea -n o t take .a prolonged and

. expensive■ investigation to dem onstrate ithe tru th 'o f .w h a t I a s s e r t . ' /

“W hile there a re no ofiiciai s tatistics on record, i t is know n th a t skunks—the ' A m erican skunk—will begin breeding a t one year old.. They breed twice each year, and .have litte rs of from five to th irteen , an averrige of e ight to a . l i t ­ter. . I t is said th a t skunks can live on as little as any know n anim al, so th e re . Is little expense .in ra is ing . th e m > T h e y . a re of a d ifferen t d isposition to the coon, squ irre l an d . m any o th e r , small.

. an im als, iri th a t they cannot be tamed, and I dp no t suppose th a t m an# ' people would care to bave one as a pet. ; / “Now, i t has been figured out th a t a

m an who- u n d e rs tan d s 'sk u n k , farm ing ' can begin on tw enty skunks—fifteen fe­

m ales an d Hvo males— in a very, few y ears w ill have a la rg e .an d 1 healthy .liarik account. I t is easy to; calculate* how rap id ly these tw enty skunks will increase in . num ber: If. you begin op­e ra tions dn the farm in th e ‘.early .fall the skunks will -breed in . December,. R igh t from the jum p, estim ating the

1 inc rease -a t the ra te of e ig h t to the lit- • t e r , : you; have a n ; increase .of>; 1 2 0 skunks. .W ell, - in . Ju n e - they - breed again and a t th e sam e ra tio o f increase

• a t . th e ' expiration of one and one-half years you will have -7,495 skunks. In four years, ; . w ithout; m ishap, - ; yciur skunks will have increased to 3,780,000.

“This is a good big drove of skunks, and-'if the pelts are w orth 51 each, the pelts of 2 0 0 male skunk would bring In open m ark e t §2 0 0 , and the o i l .a t . 0 0 cents an ounce w ould-be w orth $*0 0 . Then figuring as we did on the increaso of skunks, a t th e expiration of one and one-half years,-you could kill 3,700 rrialo skunks, the pelts of w hich would be w orth ju s t as m any dollars as skunks killed. T he am ount of oil gathered from th is num ber of skunks would am ount' to 29,000 ounces, •• w orth ju s t $14,800. A t the expira tion of four years you ' w ould’have killed 1,890,000 male skunks the pelts o f w hich would be

/ w orth ?1,S90.000, and the .oil—15;120,000 ' ounces—$7,SGO.OOO, and you would s t^ l

have 3,700,000 skunks left to continue business w ith:

“These figures aro not a t -all ex trava­gant, and It will not be long before some of our en terprising-c itizens will be em barking in the skunk farm ing business. I do not know of anything which w ill'p roduce m oney faster than

• this, and the beauty of i r i s th a t it takes only a sm all sum to begin with;* It.d is­co u n ts 'ra is in g five c(>nt cotton or any o ther ag ricu ltu ra l pu rsu it that. I know of.

U n v a r i e d D ie t . '.A n am using sto ry Is .to ld of an old-

tim e so ld ier who loved liquor better th a n food, and w as bound to have his d iet according, to his taste. I t was. in the days when B ritish soldiers provid­ed them selves w ith ra tions ou t of their pay. To insure the p roper feeding of tho men a s tr ic t inspection of the daily m ess w as institu ted . It was found th a t unless th is was done m any soldiers, would go w ithout m eat, in order that they m igh t have money to buy grog.

Donald loved w hisky, aftd could live very well on oatm eal. T herefo re, he eschewed bu tcher’s meat. But a t the daily m ess it was essential th a t he should have m eat before him.

F o r a long tim e Donald saved Ilia money, and yet, to all appearance, lived up to th e requirem ents. W hen the- officer w ent his round Donald had his m ess before, him . I t was tripe, tripe, and tripe again for a change.. “ Do,you alw ays eat tripe?" asked the Inspecting oftlcer, becom ing a little sus-. picious.•“Always, your h o n o r/’ replied Don;

'a id . .. ' . . : :-V ■■;. . ;The officer s tuck a fork in to the disk

before him . . •“W.ell, D onald /’ he rem arked, “ I

never before saw tripe w ith bu ttons oni t / ’ - - .

An Execution for Deserting: to tbe ' Enemy.

Lato in 18C3 a re c ru it cam e to ou r B rigade. He seem ed .to bo a qu ie t s o rt of a m an; "he bad b u t little to say ,-anti mado few friends. H o was a close observer, and m anaged some' way to know w h a t .was going on in tlio Army of the Potom ac.

fTime passed, and in the aggressive m ovem ents of our Corps a severe engage­m en t took place. , ln .th is fight o u r re ­c ru it was m issing. A t the end o fa tfou t' fo u r days ho tu rned up, say in g th a t ho had been cap tu red by th o enem y, and held aa a p risoner, b u t th a t he m anaged . to escape and -had entored our lines: H o failed to exp laih w here he cam o from , though, or a t w hat p o in t he en tered o u r w ell-guarded p icke t line. H is s ta tem en t w as not satisfy ing , b u t was allowed to pass. In a few days our q u ie t recru iL d lsap - peared again.

Shortly g ite r tjiis in th e desire o f the com m ander of th e A rm y o f th e P o to­mac to s tra ig h ten tho lines, and a t th* sam e dimo occupy an im p o rtan t s tra^e- tic poin t, a n o th e r sh arp engagem ent took place. In th is sk irm ish , wo cap­tu red quito a num ber " of prisoners. And lo and behold! ono of these prison­e rs w as o u r recru it. W ith a rm s in his. hands, ho was su re ly fighting with tho C onfederates. ' . ’ ‘,/Tho nam o of th is re c ru it w as H icks.

A t le a s t th a t was tho n a m e :h o gave w ben enrolled.. <

Soon a fte r h is cap tu ro a co u rt m ar­tia l w as convened to t ry him fo r de­se rtin g to .ho enem y. B eing one of th is body I well rem em ber when H icks w as b rough t before th e court. Ho de­nied th a t ho w as fighting in .the enem y’s lines, but. said th a t ho was forced to go in th e ir ran k s o r be sho t; a p lausible story . W hen asked abou t h is first desertion from h is c o m m a n d c>r, as ho said; h is cap tu ro by the* enem y, ho contended th a t he w as cap­tu red . Being' closely questioned, he finally said th a t he tired of h is duties in tho a rm y and m ade up h is m ind to ge t aw ay, and In his a tte m p t to do so was taken p risoner by th e enem y’s cav­a lry , who s ta r ted to m arch him -inside th e ir lines, b u t th a t a t th e ir picket, th a t n igh t follow ing th e cap tu re , ho m ade h is escape, and in his endeavor to g e t aw ay found h im self again in­side th e Union lines, and m ak ing in­quiry ,.Jo ined h is com m and a t the end of fou r d a £ s / /H f s exp lanation aU iO his p o sitld n w h eri captured , and of hfe* re tu rn ^5 h is R egim ent, etc., w as not beliov<

T hcf'court m artia l gave him a fa ir tr ia l, p e n t over a ll th e evidence care­fully, and gave to th e accused all doubts. He w as found guilty , and senterjeed to be shot.

TheM nding o r th o co u rt w en t th rough tho m o p er channel’ to th e P res id en t,'

ifere. Tho findings of tho co u rt raar- \1 w ere approved, and a day so t for rry in g tho sentence in to execution.

'.O rd e rs wero issued in duo tim e fo r our Corps to parade In l ig h t’ m arching: o rder, on the day. s e t for th e execution.. T ho day opened w ith a low ering, gray sky , cas tin g a gloom o v e r th e old fields

•of a V irginia p lan ta tio n , th a t showed so p la in ly th e ravages of w ar, by th e unsightly- chim neys s tan d in g alone,- w here once stood a m ansion.

T his m orning arrived no doubt much too soon for poor H icks. T ho kind a t­ten tio n s of one o f .o u r C haplains were given to the prisoner, constantly .

O ur Corps upon reach ing th e ground’ selected for the .execu tion was formed in to a hollow square in double rank , w ith a sm all opening on th e no rth side of th e square, whero th o gravo to re ­ceive tho body of H icks was a lready dug.. E very th in g ready, tl\e codln, a p la in pino box, wfts placed in a n am bulance w ithou t top. Upon th is cofiln H icks sat-firm ly , w ith h is 'hands tied behind him . Ho w as s tripped of h is u n i­form, and d o sse d in a c itizen’s su it. Two guards besides th e d river, com­pleted the load of the am bulance, which ,was a brass band, m arching to slow Im m ediately, preceding the am bulance was a brass band, m orch ing a t slow m easured step, p lay ing tho “Dead M arch.” In th is form ation they s ta r t ­ed from th e .left s ide of th e opening in tho hollow square, and moved around

; tho square a b o u t, tw en ty paces from th e line of troops. T he prisoner, H icks, seemed to show nervo bu t w as very pale. T his m arch around tho hollow

•square in p la in view of all t)ie assem ­bled troops, no doubt had its deslrOd effect, w hich was th a t H icks’ fato would come to a ll who would do a s he did—“desert to the enem y:” ,Tho opon- in g was reached, the m usic ceased, the p risoner was rem oved from tho ambU- lanco and m arched l>y th e guards to n e a r tho open grave, th o am bulance being driven outside tho lino of troops. A detail of. e ighteen m en com m anded by a L ieu tenan t, m arched to tho open­ing w ith o u t arm s. T h e ir r if le s 'w e re w a itin g them in tw o stacks, som o of them loaded w ith blank cartridges, and somo w ith .imll cartridges. H ow m any of each, and w hich carried tho ball c artridges none of th is detail knew.. T hey took th e ir a rm s am i stood a t “o rd e r a rm s.” T he L ieu ten an t w alk­ed-to H icks, and moved him closer to h is cofiln nnd grave, an d th en care­fu lly tied a handkerch ief over his eyes. T ho tw o guards stepped aw ay, th e ir d u ty .was ended.. As H icks faced tow ard the dotail of

men .chosen to c a rry ou t tho sentence im posed upon h im a s lig h t trem o r w as seen to pass over h is body, a fte r.w h ich ho stood firm. . ' *' f -

W liy - l l i c S U y Th I I I iic .The explanation of the bluo color of

the sky, as given by A. H. Thlessen, is th a t a s the observer looks in to space liis line is in tercepted by a .m ultitude of particles of dust floating In tho air. T he reason these particles appear to he blue is th a t they reflect to the Qye tho blue rays again st which they form an effective b arrie r, while th’e red or coarser-waved rays pass on. T hat tho dust reflects back only the. blue rays Is due to their microscopic sizo. The finer, the dust, the purer is the blue which 'is reflected 6 r sca tte red’ T he bluest skies, therefore, are-seen in places where the dust particles a re sm allest; the blue of the sky , as viewed from the . tops of m ountains, Is deeper and pu rer than th a t ‘Seen from a lower altitude. This is duo to the fact th a t the a ir Is.Very

.raro a t g rea t heights and can only, sus­tain the finer particles’ .of dust; while the coarser particles abound in the low­er levels.:... T he in tensity of. the; bluo skyv fo r which Italy is* noted is not owing, to the .ex istence of finer dust th an in n o rth rn countries, but to tho fact th a t in the no rthern la titudes,, in. consequence of the g rea te r coolness of tho a i i y ^ e v a p o r more readily con- deusef/ii'poijStTIo dust particles. TheSc particlVs thus, become larger and les3 elTectlve In’ ttjrh lng back the blue rays alone; I t follows Uiat o ther rays are reflected, and a . g rayish’ effect is p ro­duced. When the sky form s a back­ground for w hite cum ulus clouds, ft. appears to b<? bluer/by the con trast than it o therw ise would, and afte r a shower, when th e lower s tra tum of a ir is wash­ed of its. coarse dust particles, the re ­sult- is a deeper, and palfcr. blue. The reason the reds a re prom inent a t sun ­set is j ,h a t then the dust particles are between ilie sun and the observer;.and the blues a re reflected away from him, while the reds pass unobstructed to his eye. .. .i: :

O ur sailors having acquired , a re ­m arkable slang of th e ir ow n, as will be seen by the following, w hich a re In da ilj use on board : •

The boatsw aiu Is “Tom m y” o r “Tom ­m y Pipes.” .

The carpen ter lg “Chippy.” < :. An able seam an a “Jnrbce.”A stoker is a “cinder kno tter.”T he M aster-at-A rm s Chief of Police)

is the ''ja u n ty .”H is a ss is tan ts (ships' corporals) a re

called “crushers.”A carpen ter 's crew Is a “ wood spoil­

er.”A cooper Is called “Jim m y B ungs.”

The sh ip 's s tew ard assis tuu t, “dusty .” The cap tain , of th e hold, “ tauky.” The boatsw ain ’s mate, “bufTer.”A bandm an is a “ wind jam m er.”The sick baym an Is a “poultice mix*

er.”■ T he pain ter, “P u tty .” 1 T he sallm aker, “Soils.” »Signalm an, “ B unting Tosser,” and

the drum m er, “Sticks.”B iscuits are. “hard tack,” and ..pre­

se rv ed m e a t, “ Fanny A dam s;” It Is a l­so re fe rred to as “soup and bufly.”

F resh m eat boiled w ith vegetables in the copper is “copper ra ttle ,” w hile plum pudding is "plum duff” d r “ llggy dow dy.”

To be askeii by a m essm ate to pass the “lighthouse” is sim ply a request fo r the pepperbox; a sim ilar request 1'or a ”gll)by” m eans a spoon.

To h e a r a m an being “sm ashed” means th a t he has lost his petty .o lllcer ra ting , w hile to heat* th a t he got a “ lif t” expresses the opposite—Unit he liun received promotion.

A m an break ing Ids leave-Is said to , be “s te lb in g It,” and if a f te r puulsli- mVnt he Is hoard to upbraid him sidf for his folly, he Is said to be “ flogging 'the cat.” “ i.ong m ay y ou r big jib d raw ”

I conveys to a m essm ate all the possible j good you can w ish him ; w hile 'T i l j s tre tch you along like a Yankee main 1 tack” has a fa r different m eaning, j “ Cocking a chest like a half-pay ad- j n u ra l” Is often used to describe the

bulk o f .a peis-.m who is considered to be pu tting on sltle.

To be 'to ld th a t you look like “a .b illy goat in s tay s” is not a com plim ent . To “sp jn .a cull'” is to. tell a story, and to be told to >“cn t” the. la tte r signifies you are to stop aud generally to go On with. the job In band. *

T he order to "h e a v e round,” “look suippery,” ..or “shake a leg,” m eans you a re to m ake lmste.

To “ top your boom” or “shove off” Is to leave the com pany you may be con-

1 versing., w ith . 'W hile th e m odern expression, “Well,-

you tak e the cake,” Is how often uset}, its equivalent, “ Well, you pau'V.niy cap ­stan” s l l ll .m a y .b e 'heard . ^

T o ’be told to “buck up and take a e iiillj” . is a i r iutlim itioii for you to ] shake yourself together, especially so it the .person In question has had a “cooking d a y ”—a drop too much. The sun Is sa ld .tp .b e “over a n d . foreyard” when re fe rrin g to an y o n e 'n o t sober,, ‘and to h ear o f so-and-so having “rp jled . up” m eans th a t lie is dead. ,

"Baggie” doesn’t sound very select, but spcli Is the expression used on tho lower deck. Once a man takes a Ilk-. In * to one m an more than the rem aind­er of the sh ip’s company,* they a t ouco lu 'com e,k now n as “rrtggles." •

NavaT proverbs a re Interesting, bu t not very expressive. F o r Instance, '.‘FirM on the topsall-and la st In the oet'f sk id” is th a t expression made con- ;*erning a sm art seam an.

“ Pick him u p .and pipe clay him and lie’ll do a g a in ,” is often used to expresa th a t a .m a rin e h a s slipped dow n a lad- Jer Icadliig to. th e low er deck.

A big Insurance m an told mo recently in New-York th a t tho Prince of W ales was the heaviest risk o f any patron of the insuranco business, and th a t his death would cost E nglish, German, F rench and American com panies not less than $1 0 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 .

“No o ther person carries 20 per cent of th a t insurance,” he said, “bu t com- parafivcly llttlo of It is for the benefit o f-h is fam ily; perhaps not moro than $1,000,000.

“ It Is a curious fact,” continued my insurance friend, who spends a good deal of his tim e in Encland, “ th a t ?2,-‘ 000,000 or $3,000,000 „of insurance, per­haps moro than tha t, has been placed on the life of tho Princo of W ales as a speculation by persons who do not know him and have never had any rela­tions w ith him w hatever. T his would not be possible un d er, the insuranco laws of the United States, bu t i t is a l­lowed by some of the English com pan­ies. Over there any m an e3n secure a policy on the lifd of a neighbor, p ro­vided, ho gan persuade the neighbor to subm it to a medical exam ination or find a company whichi'has recently had him exam ined. Thus when thV» Prince of W ales undergoes an exam ination for in­surance-lots of speculators apply to the samo com pany for policies on h is life, o r ge t certified copies of the repo rt of tho" medical exam iner and , 'uso them w ith o ther companies. It is pure specu­lation. They pay a high prem ium , a m argin, so to speak, or, to put it in an ­o ther way, they book a w ager with tho Insuranco com panies th a t the P.rinee will die before th e total of their pre­m ium s exceeds the am ount of tho poli­cy. Thorefore, m any persons would be financially benefited if A lbert Edward should drop off sudden ly . one of these fine days. The P rince is perfectly aw are of this fact. He knows very well w hat advantages have been taken o f his s it­uation, bu t I do not suppose It makes any difference with Ills habits.”

“ Are kings generally insured?” I asked. • . • •.'

“Ye3 , m ost of them , but they-are not regarded-as a good risk, and companies th a t carry the policies do .no t'advertise the fact, any m ore than necessary. It in ju res ra th e r than benefits them . Tho late E m peror-F rederick , fa th e r-o f the p resen t K aiser, carried nearly $5,000,000 of insurance, which Is about all the money h is widow has to live on, for hor pension from t h e ‘Germ an Governm ent Is sm all. . F rederick was considered a first class risk, l ie was a m an of ro­bust health , splendid stature,: w ith tho tra in ing and frugal hab its of a 'so ld ier,

j and was an ath le te; but -all a t once a cancer w as discovered, which he doubt­less inherited from .h is grandm other, beautiful Queen Louisa, and he failed rapid ly . The present K aiser is not considered a . good risk . T his is quite, as much because of . his constitu tional defects as for political considerations, but for obvious reasons no company would decline an application from him for insurance?’ .

“ 1 understand the Queen of Spain is heavily Insured?” ' . • '

“ Y e s /th a t is supposed to be tho case, a lthough llttlo is know n about it, and the prevailing im pression is th a t m ost of her policies are .

trician of th is city, “ th a t tho hum an body- is capable of becom ing moro or less inured to shocks from live wires.

"Good evening,” she said, coldly. “Good evening,” w as tho equally
