Southern New York for the last cen- tary ot ao recognized by up-state folk merely as the hoWer of the money-bags and fumiaher of revenue for develope¬ ment at up-state sections was placed in its proper poeition in the moat startling- ly afFective way thro-igh the medium of tb* Long Island exhibits at the New York state Fair Grounda at Syracuse during the week ending September 14th. An extremely unusual combination of gatherings at Syracuse resulted in most effectually calling the attention of the leaders in all parties political, to south- am New York and manifolds claims to fair and liberal treatment in the distri- bation of New York State's fnnd for educational and other public benefits for the three great political emblems—the broad antlered one, the great American •creamer, and tbe fuzzy-eared long-suf

In a collection of edible plant life, the j the Long Island exhibit showed 187 properly labelled specimens of plant food, many unknown in the United States except to American epicures and the refined palates of European nations. Long Island's exhibit led all the rest. Her watermelons, cantaloupes, egg¬ plants, tomatoes and beets had a verit¬ able walk-over. Even in business like packing methods Long Island's "crea¬ tion" THE LONG ISLAND HOME HAMPER which has solved for many Western and sume Eastern communities the two burning ciuestinns of the day, "How to reduce tne high cost of living" and "How to secure for the producer his well earned bhare of the cqnsumer's dollar" won first prize, as did Neigh¬ bor Tuttle's practical businessIiKe method of packing that most delicate of ve^tables, the cauliflower, and again, the Island won on the crate originated at the Long Island Railroad Experi¬ mental Station Number One, in 1906, which solved the problem of placing to¬ matoes in proper condition oft the gro¬ cer's counters, by uae of six four quart boxes, instead of the absurd and abso¬ lutely worthless methods so long in vogue, of shipping this soft arid delicate ve^tables in busnel boxes or crates, which invariably reach the city exuding whai K>oks like tomato catsup at every pore.
To the far sighted President of the Long Island Railroad, Mr. Ralph Peters, is due the credit for placing Long Island in the leading position it once more holds for he autnorized the first exhibi¬ tion of Long Island products sent to the State Pair in, 1811, sending it by special. > •xpreas car, which left Experimental 0 Station Number two, aod was unloaded at the siding of the Fair Grounds at Syracuse. This same broad guaged management was repeated for the bene¬ flt of Long Island in 1912 and made it poasible for the Blessed Island to over- coin* in part at leaat the great handi¬ cap of having to pick and pa«k delicate gant aeceaaitiaB and lmnrie*onTi!:oz9<. ly and Friday and wih^ against the •uae variatie* {daoad op *xhJbrtioh with-
if in any district the requirements of the statute are such as to deny unrea¬ sonably to the electors equality of op¬ portunity to cast their ballots for the candidates of their choice, or unneces¬ sarily discriminate against them in re- pect of their rights, the law violates their constitutional rignts.
It is pointed out that in some dis¬ tricts, according to the requirments of the Levy law, more signers would be necessary to petition than their are voters in the party, and that, therefore, the requirement became prohibitory. Justice Burr suggests that the fairer method of determining the required number of signatures, in view of the varying sizes of population of the sev- veral districts, would be one based on a specified percentage of nominators to the entire body of electors.
Nullifying provisions of the law, says the court, made it necessary to con¬ strue an existing statute the validity of which is not questioned. This had to be done to preserve the present sys¬ tem of conducting elections with an official ballot in this State. The court says that unless the elector has the right to express his choice then chaos must follow.
The court holds that in regard to nomination petition to be filed on Oc¬ tober 11, the first day of registration, an elector registering on that day may sign an independent petition. It is held also that electors who register on the later registration days may sign peti¬ tions that must be filed at midnight October 16, the last day for filing such petitions. Both decisions favor the nomination of petition candidates and will have an important bearing on the election. New York Press.
A AuWed ¦•«•» ths Trouble, and tti* arinlles Did the gmet.
"I Started an ogly fight between two grizzly bears once, mticb to my snrpriae," said A. B. Colton, for¬ merly of Blackfoot, Wyo. '1 was ont after elk and disoovered the two bears a long way off, digging in rot¬ ten down timber for gmba. I dia- monnted from my pony and, mak¬ ing a wide det«nr, came np behind the bears and got within eaay range withont being winded or diacovered by them. Takiiw good aim at one of the grizzliM, I f&ed. The bnllet tnmbled him orer, bnt he waa on his feet again almoat immediately.
"The other bear had at(^ped his grabbing when, thia one fell and tamed and stared at tt in surprise. The woonded bear glared at ita companion a moment and then ap¬ parency made ap its mind that its companion had knocked it down, for it pitched into that bear with a fierceness that plainly meant busi¬ ness, and instantly a battle was on. The bears clinched and bit and raked one another with their claws. In a very short time th^ir tough hides were hanging in strips on their huge bodies,-and the bears wero drenched wifh blood. I never saw nor expect to see suA a fight. It was featful. The grizzlies fought for at least ten minutes, and then the one I had shot failed to get up after being hurled to the ground by its antagonist, and the latter stood over its prostrate foe and tore him with its pawB until it had ditfembow- dW him.
"Then the victor, growling and gnashing ita teeth, moved away a few steps, staggered like a drunken person and fell to the ground. It tried to get up, but could not. I crept cautiously to the spot, fearing the bear might still have enough vitality to make it lively when it discovered rae, but my caution was not called for. The grizzly was aa dead aa his rival. Those two bears were the most prodigious specimens of their kind I had ever seen, but they were literally tom to pieces. There was not a wfiole piece of skin or flesh on either of them as big as my hat."—New York Press.
Chess and • Battlaship.
Admiral Charles E. Clark, who took the battleship Oregon around Cape Hom and into action at San¬ tiago, owed his appointment as com¬ mander of that boat to his skill as a chess player. Captain Clark was at San Francisco in command of the gunboat Bennington. When ashore he spent much time in the chess room of the Mechanics' library, where he met some of the best play¬ ers in the city. When the time came to appoint a man to command the Oregon a friend of Clark's in the navy department at Washing¬ ton put his name forward. "You should see that man play chess," said he and went on to describe-l^is intense application and determini^ tion, adding, "And that's why I think he can take the battleship around safely iif any one can." Three hours later Clark received or¬ ders tp assume command of the Ore¬ gon ahd take her at once to Cuban waters.

During the progress of the mom¬ ing bath of a few months' old in¬ fant a little neighbor girl came into the room carrying a doll which she had received for a birthday present and stood watching the operation for some time. The little girl's doll was much the worse for hard usage, being minus an arm and a leg. Finally she said to the mother of the child:
"How long have yon had your baby?"
The child was informed, and, looking from her doll to tho baby, she said:
"My, you have kept it nice."— National Monthly. »
Roses as Food.
Roses at ono time figured promi¬ nently in the pharmacopoeia. Pliny gives thirty-two remedies com¬ pounded of rose leaves and petals. SuflFcrors from nervous complaints used to seek relief by sleeping on rose pillows, and one is told that Heliogabalus used to imbibe rose wine as a pick-me-up after hia peri¬ odical gormandizing bouts. The flower was also served at table, both as a garnish, in the way parsley is now used, aud as a salad, and rose- water was largely used for flavoring dishes. Boses as food have gone out of favor among western nations, bnt the Chineae still eat rose frit¬ ters.

He made the world, and be ntada tbe man and then the vro- mao aod pot them on tbo iaiand of Ceylon. According to the account it waa the moat beaatiful island which man ean conceive—auch birds, vach aongs, sncb flowers and such verdure! And the branches of treea wera so arranged that when tbe wind swept throagh them every tree waa a thousand aeolian harps. Brahma when he put them there ¦aid, ''Xet them have a period of courtship, for it is my desire and wiil that tme love shotild forever precede marriage."
Then they had their conrtship, with the mghtingale singing and the start shining and the flowers blooming, and they fell in lova. Imagine that conrtship—no pro¬ spective fathers or mothers in law, no prying and gossiping of neigh¬ bors, nobody to say, "Yotmg man, how do you erpect to support her ?" Nothing of that kind. They were married by the supreme Brahma, and he said to them: "Bemain here. You must never leave this island." Well, after a little while the man said,-"! believe I'll look about a lit¬ tle."
He went to tlie northern extremi¬ ty of the island, where there was a little narrow niick of land connect¬ ing it with the mainland, and thq devil, who is always playing pranks with US, produced a mirage, and when he looked over to the main¬ land such hills and vales, such dells and dales, such mountains crowned* with snow, such cataracts clad in bows of glory, did he seo there that he went back and told his wife: "The country over there is a thou¬ sand times better than this. Let us migrate." She, like every other woman that ever lived, said: "Let well enough alone. We have all we want.   Let ns stay here."
But he said, "No; let ua go." Bo she followed him, and when they came to this nah-ow neck of land he t6ok her on his back like a gentle¬ man and carried her over. But the moment they got over they heard a crash and, looking back, mscovered that this narrow neck of land had fallen into the sea. The mirage had disappeared, and there was naught but rocks and sand, and then the supreme Brahma cursed them both to the lowest hell.
Tben it waa that the man spoke. "Curse me, but curse not her. It was not her fault.   It was mine."
The supreme Brahma said, "\ will save her, but not thee." And then she spoke out of her fullness of love, out of a heart in which there was love enough to make all of her daughters rich in holy affec¬ tion, and said: "If thou wilt not spare him, spare neither me. I do not wish to live without hira. i love hira.' Then the supreme Brahma said, "1 wiU spare you both and watch over you and your chil¬ dren forever."—Robert Q. Inger¬ soll.

What  Puulad  Louia.
Louis Philippe was a wit. What he specially ezcelled in was the clinching of an argument, such as, for instance, his fjJial remark on the death of Talleyrand. He had paid him a visit the day before. When the news of the prince's death was brought to him he said:
"Are you sure he is dead ?"
"Very sure, sire," was the answer. "Why, did not your majesty himseli notice yesterday that he was dy¬ ing ?'•
"1 did, but there is no judging from appearances with Talleyrand, and i have been asking myself for the last four and twenty hourF what interest he could possibl} bave in departing at this particular moment."
