Ji -oil MiHJrejror,
At lot : William Dull,
J. 1'. Wcimer, Harrison John,
Clerk. liir's of the l'oor.
We herewith submit to your Honor
able Court and 4rand Jury the 47th
annual rejiort of the House of Employ
ment of Somerset county.
Another year has been numbered
w ith. the past; to some it has lieen a
year of disappointment and failure, and
to others full of pleasure and success.
J low well we have filled the hih of
fice intrusted to us and what success
we have made in the distribution of
your charities, you must jude; but
whether it meets with approval or not
surlicieiit to say we have conscientious
ly endeavored to faithfully discharge
the onerous duties of the office as Di
rectors of the l'oor.
Charity and the dispensing of it is
on;' of the leading problems if the day.
We are so thoroughly the creatures of
circumstances and environment that
our very thoughts as well as our lives
are governed thereby. The crson who
has only known a iife of ease and lux
ury, and has never come in contact
v ith the actual suUl-ring and distress
of the j"or, can not possibly know
their needs. Neither ca'i such Jierson
agree with the ioor in their ideas as to
tiie ln-st iik thod of ameliorating their
condition or eradicating the evils which
have served to produce the existing
iMiidiiious.
Chatty is the impulse of a generous
mind, and while the ieople in general
are willing, yea anxious that suitable
provisions be made for the poor, they
are not in sympathy with those who
l.tb-ir and give tlieir time and U-st en
ergies to rare for and relieve Ibein f.ir
a nit re pittance, but are prone to criti
cise and even rc-at storii-s that, -r-chani-c,
have lieen spread by an un
grateful and diluised and aiisi-ondcd
pau-nT. They forget the true meaning
.f charity, the impulse of a generous
mind, which thinketh no evil, doclh
no evil, but whose heart and hand are
pen to tlie care and protection of their
fellow-man.
We realize the fact that there have
lieen mistakes made in the manage
ment ol the home, but we believe the
home fur the l'oor of Somerset county,
and the managing of it, will compare
favorably w ith any other in the State,
with more thau a comparatively less
expense.
We are pleased with the visits made
to the home by sw many of the citizens
who are large taxiiayers, and the com
ments of approval of the management
of the institution.
The Home was uol visited by any in
fectious diseases cr scourge of any kind
during the year, and beyond the usual
and common ills that this class of de
iieudentsis heir to, the health of the
home was good.
The thanks of the public are due to
Mr. Ja-ob Mitin gor, the retiring di
rector, for the faithful anil conscien
tious mamur in w hich he discharged
his duties.
Fakm Tl-.e farm is gradually lieing
brought up to a high state of cultiva
tion and is producing well. A glance
xtthe Steward's reiKirt will convince
all of the fact.
lit ii.t'iM.s The buildings are in
good order and repair, and present a
li ne appearance. The past year a slate
roof was placed on the "main brick
building to take the place of a worn
out shingle roof, which adds ereatly to
the apiiearauce and lessens the danger
of lire from adjoining buildings. All
the comforts that are usually found in
similar institutions are found in our
Home and ere enjoyed by the inmates.
I x M ato There was a daily average !
of 7" at the home during the year. All (
were carefully housed, fed and cared
for. Thse that are able, do such work j
astliey are able to do, and when it is
possible all should and are required to
! soiiieuuiig in orutT to teach them
that they have an interest in the Home.
Dkaths There were 1 deaths at the
J lome during the year. Most of them
were old and had long since passed
their allotted time, A few were
brought to the horn .t-k and never
rallied. All were given a resiiectable
Christian burial.
JtEMKF It being the experience of
many 01 mose w no have devoted their
lives to the work of charity and of car
ing for the uufortunatis in life that
out-door relief was more of an evil than
the good it was designed fir, and had a
tendency to increase ile-n,ieiits rath
er then assist them, the director hr
resolution, discontinued the giving of
-rmaneut relief, and only in eases of
urKeui necessity nave ttiey issued tem
porary relief. The result has been
that those who received relief hereto
fore have lieen able to live just as wi II,
and the number of in mates at the home
has not been materially increamd.
Ciui.ukkn- During 'the year there
have been more children received at
the Home than any other for the past
tl ve years. lmler t he la w w e are pro
lubited from keepiug th.iu at the
Honie . neither do we believe they
should lie kept there. Yes, we think
they should not even be committed to
the Poor House,
"Hushes do not grow without mire
nor tlagy without water," and no more
are pauper classes reproduced fro,u
generation to generation without in
fluence acting upon them from ehild
nood and developing them into chron
ic paupers,
EhcIi individual has vrii i innate
tendencies fr good or eil. Mental
and moral traits areas certainly lur-di-tary
as physical likeness. The child
ofaaiii.er inherits from his parents
the mental and physical defects which
have made him a public charge In
each succeedingj-eneration these grow
rtronger, while the charaeter.-ii,-s
which make tlie independent citiz-i I
fci" miicr.
Inherited tendencies are strongly af
fected by early environment. The
rtigmaof pauper clings to a child for
years after it eutcrs the lV.r House.
T liVT ft i ' ,t'ee1n.lrinff t void.
The Chi dren Aid Society has beeuo,
preat help in this niatu-r. Thev have
provided a temporary home f r trie
keeping of children uutil a permanent
homen be fenind in which to place
them All children committed to the
Jounty Home have been placed in
tneir charge, and some 'have bn tak
en directly in charge by the Aid Socie
ty before reaching Hie Poor House We
appreciate the work and services of
If JJh,Mrpn 8 A,,, that all
It- . "?lst fnd 'nwurage them In

J S Harkev hId servici each

nieiits of the sick and iuinistcn.it to
t lit ir spiritual wants. licligious ser
vices were held at each funeral. A ser

greatly sjiprecibt il by all if one or
more'of the choirs of the churches
would volunteer to do it.

A ROMANCE OF WALES.
The Two Ladies of Llangollen Who Ured
Strange. Life Together.
Helen Marshall Xcrtb coutribntcs to
The Century au accouutof Lady Eleanor
Charlotte Butler and the lou. Sara
Ponsouby, who, more than a century
ago, ran away from their homes and
settled in the picturesque little town of
Llangollen. They dressed iu a strange
costume that was partly made up of
masculine garments. Tbey were visited
by many distinguished people and cor
responded with most i f the notables of
their times. The writer says;
Among their visiters the ladies also
counted a rrrtaiu Sir Alurrd, a band
pome and interesting but venerable man
at this ju ried. Here is a romance within
a romance, for of this gallant gentleman
it is sairl that one of the princesses fell
dwperately in love with bim, and her
father, poor old George III, sent the too
fascinating young man away to India,
where there was war at the time, and
wheuce, t'-icrifore, there was some like
lihood that ho would not re rn. But at
60 he came back, still hJLdsome and
f jscinatii p. aud was received with dis
tinguished favor by the new king, who
made him a fit Id marshal. Of the
princess and her atlectiou nothing more
is learned.
Sir A lured bad long known Lady
Eleanor indeed, for aught I know to
the contrary, be may have been one cf
the five despairing swains mentioned in
that lady's obituary and once a year,
usually in October, be came down to
Llangollen to pay bia respects to the
two ladies, to whom the visit was al
ways an occasion cf consequence.
The death of Lady Eleanor was a
grievous blow to the old man. He cane
the year following, however, but was
jess gay than usual, and it is even said
that he neglected to bestow the usual
parting kiss ou his fair entertainer. The
Hon. Sara promptly reminded bim of
the oversight, for which bo at once
mails atonement.
Alary Carry 1, the faithful servant.
bad died in 1809, making the first
change that bed occurred in tho inmates
Of tho household.
Each of tho friendi wished a picture
of the other, but neither was willing to
tit for ber portrait. By some stratagem
of a friend pictures of the two together
were secured when the Jadies were nn
aware. In June, 1829, at the ace cf 80. Ladv
Eleanor pnssed away, and. although hei
friends surrounded Miss Ponsouby with
every possiblo kindness, ebe refused to '
be comforted. She was seldom seen ex- j
cept by ber domestics and survived in
ber loneliness only 18 months.

Selfish ambition may help n to climb
to the point where we may be seen, but
It never aids ns in climbing to where
we can see. The higher a man gets in
the world in pursuit of selfish aims the
narrower bis field of vision becomes. I
The higher he gets in tho pursuit of un-1
selfish aims the farther he can see '
around bim. It matters little whether "
we climb in life if we do not climb to
ward a higher point of visiou. Sunday
The Ways tf IToridenc.
A benevohut locking gentleman was
walkiug along the Bowery, when the
l-jORt ragged, woebegone specimen of tho
tramp rpr-cies of tho geuus homo ap
proached him. Tho citizru stopped to
listen to the story told by Wandering
Willie, looking so sympathetic that the
bubo put in bis best work.
"I'm a victim o' batd luck. On the
dead. See? I hain't got nothin but the
marble heart fi r a week. My father was
rich, and soon'as he died the executor
tan off to Europe with the estate.
"I followed bim, and the ship got
wrecked, and after ten days my boat
lautii'd tu a island where therowas can
nerbals. My ten companions was eaten,
and the canuerbaU was so full they
went ter ski p, an while they was suoozin
I went ter sea in their boat; picked up
by a boat, went ter Spain; pinched f r
tieiu with pirates and got fivu years in
quod. 'Scaped au got back ter Ameriky ;
worked in a coal niino blpwcd up hy
dynamite. Arter got out o' hospital I
tried railroadin, an first trip fell through
a bridge aud broke a few o' my ribs;
hired out ter a farmer au fell out o'
the barn au broke tho rest o' my ribs
and au arm. Jess got out o"" ther hos
pital a weik ago, au haiu't had a haud
out since."
"My poor fellow," said tho beuovo-
leut genticinau, "it docs st em a shame
that in a country where there is plenty
for all you should be so cdicted, Lut
the ways cf Providence are inscrutable
I would help you gladly, if it was not
so plain that Providence has a special
object in view with you, aud it would
be sicful for me to interfere. But I am
sincerely interested aud would bo glad
to hear what happens to you next."

T.?iat a 8 tamp Collection Did.
They ore telling an interesting little
story in Toronto, which, if not true, is
certainly Leu trovato and will furnish
philatelists wth a greater justification
for the indulgence in their craza than
any they have probably had before Tho

North America, when be was appointed.
was required to give bonds to the
amount of 2,000.
Ha did not find this a particularly
easy thiug to do, for be had no friends
to whom he could go. In thinking over
ways aud means, it struck bim that per
haps bis collection of stamps made
wbn a lad might help bim out of the
difficulty, as be had some rare specimens.
He accordingly hunted out bis album.
which had lain uuregarded for over 20
years in an old drawer.
Then he made a catalogue and sent
it to a rich stamp collector of his ac
quaintance. In doe course euine a reply
from that gentleman saying be was pro-
pared to give the sum of 2,000 for the
collection.
Dramatio coincidence!
The cashier thereupon toeik tho letter
and bis stamps to the bank directors
aud offered them as the security he was
required to furnish. They were accept
ed, and tho hank has had the stamp-
book locked up in its vault ever since,
Au estimate has just been made of the
value of its contents, and tho lucky
cashier finds that bis stamps are worth
the snug little fortune of 7,000.

The Sunflower and Its Use.
The sunflower is a native of America.
In 15C9 it was introduced into Europe
and is now extensively cultivated there,
particularly in Russia, where it has
been grown for 60 years, principally for
the oil contained in its seed. The seeds.
after the shells are reu-oved, contain 84
per cent cf oiL This oil is clear, light
yellow, nearly odorless, and ol a pecul
iar pleasant aud mild taste. It is said
to bo superior to both almond aud olive
oil for table purposes and is used in
making soap and caudles. In Russia
the larger seeds are sold iu immense
quantities to the lower class of the
innple, who eat the kernels as we do
peanuts. The stalks furnish a valuable
fertiliztr, while the green leaves are
dried, pulverized and mixed with meal
as food for cows. The stalk produces an
excellent fiber. It is said that Chinese
silk goods commonly contain more or
lies sunflowi r fiber. The so called xs t-
ger seed oil is made from a species of
the sun flower family which is a native
of Abyssinia. It furnishes the common
lamp oil of upper India, where it is
largely cultivated.
Cluck Inicriptioua.
In former times it was the custom cf
clockmakers to inscribe ou the dial
plates of their clocks quaint verses, one
of tho most commou being the follow
ing: I serro theo here, with all my might.
To tell tho hour Lr day, by uichl.
Therefore example take by nis
To verve thy ijod ad I nerve tueo."
Another favorite inscription was
"Tempos fugit," or "Time flies," and
thsreby hangs a tale. A well known
English clockmaker who flourished to-t.-urd
the close cf tho last century, ou
being asked by a customer whether a
certain clock was of home manufacture,
replied: "Oh, certainly. Don't yoa see
the name, sir Tuinmas Fugit? I often
have bis clocks through my bands."

PropTM In Modern Athena,
The progress of tho modern capital of
Greece will not astonish American read
ers, but Athens in no way reseniLlcs
New Ycrk ur Chicago, nor is Cree-ce
America. L!etwet!i the two cooiitriea
there is to point tf comparisfiii whatso
ever. The Americans, springing from
aud connected with a powerful European
nation, began tboir career with all the
advantages and few of the drawbacks of
civilization. They had only to confront
the physical obstacles to tlieir possession
of the uti-nsive territoriea which at
tracted aud rewan'j'd their eulight nisi
energy, and immigration accelerated
the formation of a glorious common
wealth. Tho Greeks, emerging from
ages of debasing serfdom, had no politi
cal or social cr intellectual preparation
for the work of regeneration. After bar
ing achieved by dint of des-pe-rate efforts
the independence of a part only e-f their
laud and race they bad t i uudergo a
aeries cf revolutions beforo settling
clown into an organized body politics.
Moreover, the Lelief that the national
unity is not yet compk-to has tended,
and lung may tend, to retard the work
of internal development. Neither thee
considerations, nor the fact that the
whole country was a scene e.f de'solaticn
at the close of the war of iudepe ndence,
Ciu-t be lost sight cf in forming a judg
ment as to the progress thus far effect
ed. D. Dikelas iu Century.
A Dog Mory,
Two dogs belonging to an Iowa man
disappeared aud remained absent fur
nine days. On the tenth day tbe man
wan furpiised to se-e the di.s cotro tta
pt rinK into the hou.se, thin and hapgard
looking. Investigation revea'.ed that a
ueiKhbor wad out hunting, and on tbe
banks' of a creek hia el'-cs began to
whine at a bole in the ground, and
nothing could make them move away
from the t-pot. Satisfied that something
wa.4 wrong, the man prorurt d a fpado
and Legan dipgicg, and the deg assist
ed him. Fully six feet of earth was
taken away, when he came upon the
imprisoned dois. It seems that they
chased a rabbit into its burrow, and in
digging after i: they threw the dirt
back, thus closing up the hole and pre.
venting their own tse iipe. There tbey
had lain for nine days, and their sur
vival is a wonderful proof cf the tenaci
tyot lifo iu lower auimals. Exchango,
A Nice Re-giuirnt.
Soldiers belonging tn line regiments
are never tired of telling stents at the
cxpruse cf the militia. Here is one:
Whilo a certain militia regiment was
encamped ou a well known cerumen a
wosian with her children camo tut
there for a:i outiug. During the tiuiti
the was playing with the children a
militiaman, pxiii', Etclo a leaf ni:d
ran till. Tho woman, observing bim,
roiunieuced calling:
"Stop, thief!"
Tbn colonel was clcse at band, aud,
bearing tho cry, rodo up, asking tbe
reason.
"That thief has stolen my loaf."
"Never mind," said the colon?!, piv-t
ing ber a half a crown. "This will
another for yon. But for goodness' aki
don't cail 'Stop, thief I' or I shan't have
a man left iu tho regiment Londou
Tit Bits.
Initio ami Italian,
eteral hundred writer- oa the sab
ject claim that the Italian, with such
tkanges as uatarally come about in th i
Course cf ages, has always been the lan
guage of tho commou people living iu
the boot shaped peuiusui.t. The no wntcri
pssert that Latiu was the lauguuge of
literature, tho law aud tho educated
fla-ises, while Italian was Fpokeu by the
jitople.
Frtim the time cf Julius Ca?ar to
that of Cotistantine tho Great the popu
lar name f;:r a Ucman emperor was Cae
sar. After the re igu cf Cnustantine tho
sobriquet in the eastcru empire was
Couiitautise.
The civil crown was a Ri mn:i licncr

of a citizen ly slaying au enemy.
