How many people, as they walk along the streets on a cloudless night, and, looking up at the sky, make some remark about the bright ness of the stars, ever think of those same stars as any more than so many brilliant spots in the heavens t How many of us realize that these are suns, many of which could swallow up our own sun, and possibly the whole Solar System f The unpretentious North Star, which everybody knows, or can locate by the pointers of the big Dipper, is itself between sixty and seventy times brighter than our sun, while the "Dog Star," Sinus, the brightest star to the eye, whi.-h we see in the southern sky every even ing, gives off over forty times as much light as the suu, and is about one fourth larger, having a diamet er of one million sixty thousand miles. And yet some fool poet will work up an inspiration and scribble lines to the "tiny" stars. More brilliant than any of the stars just at present arc the two )lancts, Jupiter and cutis, which are conspicuous as soon as twilight approaches. Venus, indeed, is so bright tha: she cau be seen during the day if the observer knows her approximate position. At about eight o'clock in the evening Jupiter the largest planet 111 our system appears almost directly overhead, outshining every other body. In the west enus is seen, a beauti fully brilliant object just now, for she is almost at her brightest stage. If observed with a telescope she is seen to resemble the moon at first quarter, only one side being visible. At this time of year thtre are hundreds of intensely interesting objects in the sky, and if the aver age prosaic human would "get off the earth, as it were, some clear evening, and let his eyes and his understanding wander off into limit less space, he would be well re paid.

On Thursday of last week a com mittee of ladies from the Union Benevolent Society of town made a visit to the poor house and were very agreeably surprised and de lighted with the state of things they found there. The inmates are well provided with comforts and conveniences, have nice iron beds with spring mattresses and plenty of covers, with radiators in each room ; have plenty to eat, of good meat and home grown vegetables and fruit and home made bread and butter, all the tea and coffee they want three times a day if they wish for it ; a good supply of excellent water ; bath room and toilet fitted up in modern style ; in fact nothing seemed to be lacking to make the people comfortable. Really they are much better off than many poor families in town we could mention to whom the word poor house is a bug bear. The ladies came away with the feeling that the poor house is the best place for those who can not care !for themselves and have no reasonable expectation of being able to do so in the future. Mr. and Mrs. Houck seem to be the right people in the right place and impressed the ladies very favorably. The committee was taken out and brought back by one of the" splen did big teams of grey horses be longing to the institution, and they greatly enjoyed the ride and all they saw, and hope to go again in the near future.

The one hundred and twenty-five odd miles along the New Jersey coast line from Long Branch to Cape May presents the greatest pleasuring section in the United States. Upon the bluffs of the northern end and the gently shelving sands of the southern end are located forty re sorts which entertain during the spring and summer season millions of pleasure seekers. At no time in the year is this section more delight ful than during the spring and early summer months. One who has not seen them at this season would marvel at their delights. The great pine belt, which extends through the center of New Jersey, fills the air with life giving ozone, v. hich combined with the salty tang of the sea and the open air exercise possible at all times, is ex hilarating ana tonic to the. highest degree. Long Branch, with its beautiful cottage-neighbors, West End, Hollywood, and Elberon ; Deal and Allenhurst, largely devoted to cottage life ; Asbury Park and Ocean Grove, attracting thousands yearly; Avon, Belmar, Como, Spring Lake, and Sea Girt, are a galaxy of attractive places upon the bluffs where "the country meets the sea." Then the Barnegat Bay section, where Point Pleas ant, Sea Side Park, Island Heights, Barnegat City, and Beach Haven, with other smaller places nearby, welcome the summer sojourner. Atlantic City, with its seven miles of beach and drives, and its charming suburbs, leads the island resorts, separated from the main land by the great salt marshes. Ocean City, Sea Isle City, Avalon, and Stone Har bor ; Anglesea, Wildwood, Holly Beach, and Wildwood Crest also have a large summer population. And Cape May, with its new million dollar hotel and its wonderful improvements makes a fitting climax and hold a high place among the forty beaches. The Pennsylvania Railroad is the direct route to all of these resorts from all sections of the country. Its splendid train service makes each of them neighbor to all the rest and to the world at large. in Your Favor.
