The Early Days of Central Park.

IGen. ESD6fC L. Nlole.
I first drew up the plans for Central
park in 1855. My report was printed in
full in several newspapers, taking whole
page. William Cullen Bryant in an
editorial article, praised my scheme, but
declared that | would never live to see it
carried out When the driveways of the
park were thrown open to the public in
1862, there were no public conveyances to
that part of the city. The lot now Occu
pied by the Fifth Avenue hotel was used
as a circus ground, and tombstone yard
adorned the spot upon which the Abe
marie and Hoffman houses now stand.
There were no buildings in Broadway
above Union square
1t was about the year 1855 that the
Lenoxes and Astors abandoned Second
avenue which was at that time the fash
ionable quarter of the city, for Fifth
avenue. Everybody was laughing at the
absurdity of the movement. 1t wasn't
long, however, before nearly all the high
toned families had left their establishments
in the old, for the more spacious buildings
in the new, fashionable quarter. Many
people living down town hardly ever
heard of Central park until several years
after it had been opened. The great
breathing place of the city is now com
pleted with a few changes according to
the plans which | drew up thirty years
ago

large yields per acre will become less

thirty-five bushels of wheat to the acre

It is very different with us. In summer
we wear thick helmets with good ventila-

while we have plenty of air. We all wear
light clothes, suited to the season, and
flannel shirts with flannel collars attached
are general even among the wealthy.

The Toilet of the Snake.
[GOod Cheer


Prior to shining forth respondent in
fresh attire, a serpent seeks retirement.
He becomes blind for a few days, refuses
food, and appears to be in a melancholy
state generally. When all is ready he be-
gins at the lips to extricate himself from
his old dress rubbing against whatever
may be in his way. The first part of the
process is tedious. but as he progresses he
works more rapidly; when he reaches the
ribs they assist the operation, until finally
the old skin is shed entire, turned inside
out, and Mr. Snake revels in his new
suit. His eyes, covered by perfectly
transparent layer of Cuticle, are bright
and beautiful 1t is only while this cuti-
Gle is forming over the eye that the ser
pent is blind. Their toilet is made in the
spring, but nos alone at that time; any un-
usual circumstance is apt to make them
wish for new suit of clothes, beginning
when they are infants from one to two
weeks old. Some are so fastidious as to
require change once a month, and even
oftener, while others, more plebeian, will
wear the same garment for six months
FORESTS Tragic Dietary.
brooklyn Eaglel
The relation between food and artistic
eminence probably exists rather sub
jectively than in primary form. What
man eats can scarcely be converted into
passion, imagination or fervor by any
known chemical process or any subtle
transformation that can be stated in Ian
guage.
It is truer than most stage traditions
that Forrest did regulate his dietary by
the theatrical programme in his later
years-at least it is vouched for as truth
by more trustworthy authorities than

stamps of old issues has just been dis
covered in Zurich. The forgers have gone
about their work very thoroughly. They
have collected scraps of old letters bear

1913 to 1860, and the better to deceive the

1t Is asserted that poisoning by vanilla ics

rope, where vanilla is recognized as a dan
gerous toxic agent. its peculiar effect being
known scientifically as vanillism. 1t is er-
planned that in preparing the vanilla beans
for the market they are classified according
to their size and quality, the latter depend
ing upon an abundance Of substance which
e1udss from the pod and crystallizes upon
the surface in the shape Of white. frost like
needles In order to secure these needles,
the pods are covered with protective coat
