* 139th SESSION OE LEGISLATURE. The 139th sessiou of the State Legislature, which adjourned t week, acquitted itsell very well. The lew things that exception -•d be taken to were rather sms ol omission tliau commission. ocratic extravagances have been cutbetl, aud the aieadcd State c has been avoided. Long strides have been taken toward a more Jonomical and efficient administration ol the State’s allairs, anu bile-it will take some time, it is true, to determine just how the irious economics will wotk out, there is cyery indication and -son to believe that they will come up to expectations. The Republican platform pledges have been redeemed, and RSnlf-baked inefficient legislation was avoided. Notable, in that it aliects the shore iesoiis,L the bill introduced l, for Speaker Godfrey by Assemblyman Stephens, ol Cape .May County, ■jgtovidiug for adequate beach bout protection, which is now a law. It provides for tire New Jetscy Harbor Commission what will prove 'm boon to the seacoast citie., and already the Stale engineer has prenued plans for bulkheads and the like, best suited to conditions in Be various sections ,of ihe Sutc. Municipalities liavc also tin right, under this law, to consult with the Slate s engineers, mid gel f the benefit ol tbcii research work, and knowledge ol conditions re HWting from a study m all lauds. Taken all in all, 'lie rccoid of the past legislature has been rthighly crediublc, aud th« Republican legislators cau rest easy iu tin Eeasuraucc of a duty well performed.

A£AV DAY.

• On ihc first day of May in the old-iashioncd country town tbc f Children used to expect a half-day holiday. It was quite customary liar the teacher to take the youngsters to walk, lot gathering 01 I flowers and observation of buds, trees aud vegetation. “ twentieth century youngster is too sophisticated for such Tbc boys arc out ou the back lot playing liall and ^ like Indians. The small girls are designing new 1915 for their dolls, while the big girls arc having formal teas. In the Old World, May Day was a time ol populat mem I mskiuu. For a young woman to be chosen Jjucrti of Hie May, an 'action based mostly ou her beauty ol feature, was a greater tnmph than anything that could be bought with money. Lightrevellers gathered around the Aiay-polc, aud the lads auu ■asks footed it ou the village gtccu. To-day iu Europe, wctc it not for the war. May Day woult. 1 1 bring the usual Socialistic aud trades union mainleslaliuus. T1.1 spirit of festival seems to have gone out of the day, whtclt- has Le an expression of discoutrut aud often ol hostuc class feeling lu this country May Day has 110 longer auy |articuiar fesin.. a. In many cities it is the auumil moving day. liousci, diacontcuted with their surroundings, pack their hies am. late* on the moving van, and sally forth 111 discuuiiort and to. a more commodious mansions, or at least ajuUineuts lor tin iat ol which they can gel trusted. Thus the first day of May, once a pastoral kind 01 att occasion ms to stand to-day mostly lor unreal. As the sap rises in tin S*,at the spriug time, so some kind of human sap seems to md e heart, creating new longings for the untried aud the 1111 (messed. Perhaps the most thoroughly sensible way to cclclnah ^ where possible, is to quit work aud go to the hall game. I Or, better still, get out iu that back yard ami dean up.

► ILLY SUNDAY, in one of his ringing sermons, pays this eloquent tribute to Life Insurance: -I doa t look like a mao that would die very qnlckiy. de IT I haw just aa good a physique aa yon ever gated at. J wonldo t trade with any man I know. A lot of yon fellows are stronger than 1, bol 1 have ar good a plivaiqo* aa you ever looked at. I have been prwaebiry at lHa p*ee for fourteen yearn, and 1’va Blood it, although 1 begin to feel myself fading a little bn. But 1 may die. and on that •may,' on that possibility, 1 carry thousand* and Iboorands oldollart of lit* insurance. I don’t believe that any man doea ngbl to himaelf. bin wife or his ebfldran if he doesn't provide for them with life insurance, so when he is gone they will not be thrown on the charity ol the world. And next to my faith in God, if 1 should die to-night, that which would give me the moet comfort would be the knowledge that 1 bare in a safe deposit vault In Chicago, life inaurance papers, paid for np to date, and my wifs could cash diem in and she and Uie babies eonld listen to the wolvre liowl for a good many years. I don't expect to die soon. ' 1 may die, and on Uial ‘may* I carry thousands and Uionsanda of dollar, in life insurance.”
