The Board of Freeholders did well at ill late meeting In taking Initiatory steps : to better provide for the health and com- 1 fort of tbe county's (unfortunate wards. The old building has served its generation, ami should be goody placed on tbe : retired list add tbe new one constructed on sound hygienic principles to take its place. The opposition to the scheme we - are sure will speedily dissolve into s very small quantity when tbe matter is looked at clear of the prejudice that , may have been generated, in a part of i the public mind, on account of tbe cost. ' Tbe county it well able to build a pro- ! C dwelling place fur her poor. Sbe a snag surplus, snd It cannot be put I to a better use than In caring for the tin- I fortunate pernios wbo must depend, for I One cause or another, upon the public | for auppport. The sanlt iry condition of i theoldwcather-beatcn almshouse is a sub- < Ject that haabeen demanding the a- tention of the State Board of Health, a body which moves somewhat slowly, but when it does take a' Hon there is ami Ic law to back its doings. But it will not , be necessary for it to luterfcre. The principal opporitiun to the building of the new alms house is tbe cost. ' Let us see bow bard it will bear upon taxpayers. Tbe assessed valuation of property both teal and personal, of tbe county, by the duplicates of 1W7. is as : Upper township. $456,740 ; Dennis township. $410,218; Middle township. :$014.185 ; Lower township, 988, 860; Cape May City. 1,700.000; Cape May Point. $800.000 ; West Cape May. fltiMSO; Anglesca, 150 000; Sea Isle City, $887,808; Ocean City. 900.078; Holly Beach. $173,000 Total, 4.542.798. Now let us suppose tbe structure contemplated coat $10,000. to be of brick or atone, and arranged for steam heating all over it, and with ail necessary sanitary appliances. Certainly nothing short of this will aatlafy tbe demand of this age of progress This cost wonld involve a rate of .0084+. Suppose Mr. A. has an assessed valuation of $1200, he would pay as his entire share of the cost $18 64. If tbe cost be $15,000, the rate would be $.0088+, and then Mr. A. wonld have tc pay $3.00. But there are not ao very many Sir. A'a. Let ns figure on Mr. IPs $800 and see about what it would cost blm to help make the home of the helpless poor comfortable. The {10.000 house would cost him a total of 1.10, and thc$15, 000, $1.65. If a period fl.1V, SOU uasw.uw.ei.w. *) - yvtiou r

Coon Hunting, a- These moonlight nights are the- best for coon bunting, flundreds of men _ and boys in Atlantic and Cape May counties are out every night now after Their shouts and the noise of 'r their gun* can be heard tS a region ot nearly sixty miles. Dogs are used to ° trail the creatures. When three dogs, which are usually tbe little ireen-acented g beagles, are started out at night- they know that it means coon or nothing, and „ that no variation in the chase In the way of running a rabbit is permitted. . With short, shattered, crescendo barks, the bounds dash into the wo:-ds after ' perhaps indulging in a brief scraping match or two on their own account. _ 0 there be a coon wllbin a quarter of a e mile of them tbe bounds are quick to r find It out. The coon at once begins to double aiM twist, in tbe hope of tbr-iw- , ing his pursuers off the trail. But the e -hounds, as uncrriugly as the baud of fate, follow him In his woodland pilgrim's progress, here, there, and everywhere. Once in a while with almost ' human intelligence, lire coon wil lake to the tree-tops and travel from limb to r limb for mayhap fifty yards. Then it is 1 likely that tho bounds will search in vain for the missing animal. Again the i- coon will clamber up a big bush, and. t clutching a hanging branch, sw.ng back. : ward and forward a few times until be j I bas gained enough momentum to cast . himself across a wide brook. But old ' coon hounds know these little tricks. The leading dog regains the trail and i tbe others scatter, on each aide and run ' abreast ot blm. It Is not long before the , dogs get'close up to the fugitive animal. ; boon aOon "reaches Its abode and ; I has hardly sbhisked its tail in out of sight before the baying dogs are at the ' . root ot the tree. There they sit and bay - until the arrival of tho hunters. Sound- ' ing the tree bv^ striking it with an sx, , i its trunk tbe hollow cxlrmls. At its , bare is the coon's nest. Just above it a men begin to cut a hole and the coon, c frightened by the noise, deserts bis nes', takes to tbo dead linths above and is ' readily picked off with a shot from a skillful marksman.
