Bo Longer the Simple Idle. Lite la now no complex. It la thM complexity of life that make* It what It la. We live for to-day. to-morrow and next day; aometimee for other daye; many eeem to live only for salary day. We look forward to it and backward at it. and we have so little equilibrium, also hard cash. The world baa grown worldly. It asks money, always money; usually, more money than anything la worth, and we must pay. Thla. remarks a satirical writer In the St. Louie GlobeDemocrat. fllla the earth with eadn< —and multi-millionaire*—and betray* us into lapse* from that peace of mind which should characterise the simple life. We have broken ^th simplicity. No longer will we sleep in cold bed chambers as our fathers did. and peel off the frost and rime from our whiskers as we leap out upon the bare Boor with the thermometer at seven below sero. In those simple daye they had no thermometers. nor felt tbe need of them. They knew it was gee men tally cold without a 75-cent apparatus to tell them bol The thermometer has helped to make the aimpie life complex. In those daye that we have drifted away from in out worldliness the whole family roosted around one fire In the great roaring fireplace. As you sat by the culet fireside lamp perusing >our studious researches the children played leap frog on the floor, the Innocent babe equalled fitfully in Its cradle, the dog thumped his rear “elbow” Intermittently on the floor in fruitleas hut noisy disturbance of his Infinitesimal companions, the cat strode about the table, purring gnd from time to time cartsalng your eyebrow with a wave of her velvety tail, the father of the flock disputed long and earnestly aometimee In loud, disturbing asperity with his helpmeet on the price she had paid for yarn, the younger eon came in ■tamping, throwing armfuls of snowin crus ted wood upon the floor thunderously beside the chimney, the maid beat the batter for the morning cakes effusively and diffusively, meanwhile singing a right proper hymn with vehemence through her nose. This was the simple Ilia Now it u complex. We have a room to ourselves. a steam radiator for heat, electric light, and may dwell upon our book in silence and solitude. Ah, it Is grievous In the language of the Gallic apostle who has recently been among .us: "L*t us save and cause to last as long as possible ail which still exists of the patriarchal, no matter under what form." Lot us go back to the roaring h replace and its noisy domestic simplicity. yW here the whole evening is epent in the oislracting and trivial uproar of the customary tamily circle of Ibth.

NEW JERSEY LEGISLATURE (CONTINUED rWOM riMT FACIE.)

Russell Sage thinks that smoking is a bad habit, '-."i overheard one day.” he said, recently; ••rfrotDeraation that delighted me. It was a conversation between a young man and his wife. He appeared to be a rather extravagant and lazy fellow. She appeared to be economical. industrious and ambitious. The wife was trying to urge the husband to give up smoking. Sbe was pointing out to him bow much in the course of a year be spent on tobacco. She was showing him that mentally, physically and financially he would be better off without his pipe. 'But all grant men amoks.’ he grumbled. *WeU.' she declared, ‘U you’ll glv* up smoking till you're grant m be quite

construct sewers over private property. Be us for Horuer introduced an amend meut to tbe crimes act permlttiug juries in capita! caaea to qualify verdicts by adding ’without the punish ment of death.’’ the penalty then resulting being life Imprisonment. Bseeker Arts Prods the Asarmbtr. Speaker Avis took occasion early in the week to urge tbe expediting of all bills In the bands of conuglttees so that the bouse would have something to work ou. Monday night'* apaslon hi the assembly was taken up enttrely wlth the Introduction of a number of bills and a few faeolutlona. there being ik) bills ready for consideration. Thla action of Speaker Avis is taken as Indication that the lawmakers. In the house at least. wHl get down to the real business of the session fufiler than In former years. Majority House Leader Duffield pre aeuted to the house a bill preacriblnu a mode of advertising the proposed abandonment of the Morris and Essex canal. The bill Is a preliminary *»«".> to the actual measure for the abandon ment of the canal and Is required by law in legislation of this sort.

Th* provisions ol the resolution embrace tbe Atlantic ocean for a distance of three milefrom shore. Tbe resolution suggest* changes said to be necessary to recon clle conflicting portions of the lawnow In operation. It la to be tbe duty of the commissioners to make such In restlgation aa they may deem neceaxa ry and to make a report to the present legislature. It la believed that this re* olution will precipitate tbe old tight be tween book and line fishermen and pound owners on tbe coast. Senator M< Kee In explaining tbe resolution said that by it eras intended only the cry* tallixlng of tbe conflicting views that have confused the lawmakers wbene< er a fight was made against pound fish lug. He said tbe resolution was not Intended In any way to block legislation for tbe protection of salt water flak It la expected, however, that the baok and line fishermen will Introduce nr antipound net bill later In tbe

Far laspertlaa of Bills. The pro|»o*;tlon to create an official or commlsalou to Inspect all trills be fore they are passed by Ihe legislature ha* been made because of tbe rush in,; through of n bill the first week of the session that afterward required csnald eruble fixing to accomplish tbe end sought. This was the first special elec tlon bill for Union and Sussex counties The proposition doe* not meet with much favor, as It would seem to reflect discredit upon tbe Intelligence of the legislators, Tb© president of the sen ate and tbe speaker of tbe bouse, the floor leaders in the' bouse and tbe senate and the chairmen of tbe Judiciary committee in each branch are all lawyer* of ability, and it would appeal that they arc fully qualified to peas upon questionable points, although their Judgment might not. of course, always agree with that of tbe supreme court and tbe court of error* and appeals. More careful inspection of bills and a closer reading of them. It Is believed, are ail that are necessary to avoid mistakes. Tbe bills, according to tbe rule*, should be read at tbe desks from beginning to end twice before tb* roll call It la pointed out that this would take time, but the time would be well spent. It la believed, in avoiding mistakes that are bound to creep Into eome of tbe bills.

sex.
