The Park Commissioners cannot do wiser
thing than to adopt the resolution presented
at their meeting yesterday earnestly protest
ing against the use of any part of Central Park
as site for the Worlds Fair. Without doubt
the resolution would have been passed i'm
medately upon its presentation had it not been
that the meeting was called for specific pur-
pose and all business apart from that was out
of order. All the Commissioners are hostile
to the invasion of the Park for this purpose,
and the emphatic expression of their we'll
grounded opposition will carry much weight.

Leon Albeit promises that he will clearly
present TO the people lof New-Jersey) in this
canvass the principles of the Democratic party
The Democrats in the New-Jersey Legislature
last winter showed such an utter lack of
principle that there would seem TO be need Of

the party.

Our dispatches from Saratoga show that
prominent delegates to the Republican Con-
vention are insistent that the platform shall
take firm and advanced stand on the question
of liquor legislation. As matter of course.
there will be no step backward. The Repub-
lican party is committed unreservedly to high
license as the wisest method of restricting the
liquor traffic and curtailing the evils which 1t
breeds If it were not it would be forced to
take this position 10y the course of Governor
Hill and by the Democratic appeal to the OPP
ponents of inequitable and oppressive sumpt-
uary legislation" The only hope for excise
reform lies in the Republican party, and that
party will not fall short of the expectations
which it has aroused.

Functions Of the Skin.

What curious organ the human skin
is, to be sure! l know that almost
every one looks on it with contempt, as
sort of well-fitting wrapper for more
precious goods beneath. That is, I'M
less acne or some other disfigurer comes
along and sets up business, with the
skin as sole hacker. Really, there is
no organ of the body so important, so
long-suffering and so abused as this
same flexible covering OF ours, that has
so much to do. In summer, when not
oppressed by heavy, ill-ventilated cloth
ing, it is always pcrceptibly busy; in
cold weather cXcretion continues, but
being in form of vapor is not noticed.
Few persons are aware how much work
this organ does. In cool seasons, the
average amount Of sweat eXhaled from
an adult is two pounds; this amount in
creasing up to four pounds an hour, the
latter enormous quantity having been
measured, upon wOrkmen exposed to
the intense heat of gasworks furnaces.
Night and day, every hour of our lives,
this wonderful sieve is at work, taking
from the blood useless and poisonous
debris, its labor 50 vital that twenty
four hours complete suspension means
death.
Now in winter, while its functions
are least, and its openings liable to be
clogged by pressure, by plugging from
lack of care, or by some disease, it is
plain that much, aye, extreme. pains
should be bestowed upon it. Every one
cannot take regular daily baths Of
water, but every one can, upon getting
out of bed, have a hearty, thorough
rundown with towel, not one that is
harsh enough to scratch and hurt, but
a Turkish web that will stimulate and
be pleasant. This friction will open
skin pores in good shape, set capillary
circulation OF blood and surface nerve
flow in full motion, and be the very
best possible preparation for a Decem-
Der day.
Avoid too frequent bathing in winter.
Few men, still fewer women, OF our
nervous Americans, have stamina
enough to waste any upon cold water,
as is done when plunge is made into
the morning tub at ordinary temrera-
ture.
In hospitals such baths are used to
reduce heat in fever cases, and it is
easy to bring it down three or four de-
grees in a few minutes by this means.
This fall, which seems so trihing is in
reality something very great, compared
with the narrow range within whose
limits life is possible, and such shocks
are inimical to health. Therefore, l
condemn daily water baths in winter as
unsanitray, unphysiological and unnec-
cessary. The dry rubbing spoken of
before is far better.-American Maya
zine.

Uncle Sam s PoSotmce

There is no department in the govern
ment with which so large part of the
people has to do, and none with which
the people have to deal so often, as the
postoffice, On an average, every man,
woman and child in the United States
both sends and receives something by
mail-a letter, a newspaper, a package,
once a week throughout the year.
Indeed, hardly any feature of the
modern civilization is more striking to
one who can divest himself of the feol-
ing that the pOstoffice is a matter OF
course, than the development and pres
ent extent OF communication by means
Of the mail.
When we remember that fifty years
ago it cost twenty-five cents to send a
single piece of paper, written or prin l.
ed, from Washington to Boston; that
the railroad system was in its infancy,
and that letter-sending was a luxury
not to be INDUCED in without consider
alton, we may see what vast change
half-century has wrought.
At present every one who can write
at all sends letters. Children are en-
couraged to begin correspondence with
relatives and friends as soon as they
can print" words. Business men are
hardly more sparing OF postage stamps
than their wives are OF pins. And this
modern idea Of the constant use OF the
postoffice is wholly the growth OF fifty
years.
Let us compare 1888 and 1885. Fifty
years ago the mails were carried on
only nineteen hundred miles OF railroad
in the United States four hundred
miles less than are now operated In the

How Old Shoes Are Utilized.

Old shoes have uses as raw material
for certain industries. In many coun-
tries abroad and to some extent in the
United States they are collected
with care, ripped apart and the leath-
err subjected TO treatment that renders
1t soft and makes it available for SUM-
dry purposes. Patterns are stamped
upon it, trunks are covered with it,
and IL is also used for making shoes
again. The soles are extensively used
in making heels for ladies' and chill
dren's shoes. The nails also are saved
and made profitable, and the useless
scraps are converted into fertilizers.

territorially small state Of Massachu-

territorially small state Of Massachu-
sets. Now the mails are carried on
lac, 030 miles OF railroad.
There are, in 1888, 81, 900 postoffices,
against $4,000 in 1888. The revenue OF
the department was 81, $50, 900 in 1888,
and more than $52, 800, 900 in the year
ended last June.
Statistics were not kept OF the num-
Der of letters and other parcels mailed
fifty years ago, but in 1898 tho let
tiers transmitted numbered almost
1,770, 200, 900; the postal cards 372, 0O0,-
600; the newspapers and periodicals
1,063, 000, 900, and the packages 373, 000,-
000-a total OF 1878, 900, 900 pieces, and
an average OF almost sixty to each person
OF tho 60.00O,O00 inhabitants OF the
United States.
American postage rates are by far
the cheapest in the world. The English
penny rate on letters is the same as the
two-cent rate, but the distance travcrs-
ed by letters here is greatly in excess
of that in the united kingdom. More
over, Great Britain has nothing to COM
pare with the American system Of send
ing newspapers to subscribers at a rate
Of one cent a pound. 1t costs half
| pcnny-onc ccnt-to send each paper in
England-at least six times as high q
rate as that in the United States. even
If no account be taken OF the great dis
tances here.
The English parcel post" is. how
ever, cheaper than the American.
Packages OF merchandise can be sent
at the rate OF three pencc-six cents
for single pound, and at n rate grow
ing smaller as the weight increases,
until at eleven pounds the charge is
only eighteen pencc--Or about three
and third cents a pound. The United
States rate is uniforrn at one cent an
ounce. A four-pound package--the
limit of wcight-would cost sixty-four
cents; in England it would cost fifteen
cents.
No doubt this country will in time
ovcrtake and surpass its great rival in
this department of the postal service,
rs it has already done in other depart
mcnts. There is no conceivable limit
to the expansion of this service, and as
the service grows in amount, it may
grow cheaper. 1t is probably too soon
to think of IL one-ccnt rate for letters,
but in a very few years, at present
rates, the department will overcome
the deficiency between receipts and
expcnditures-it was nearly five and a
half millions during the past year and
then the one-cent rate will come, as
surely as the three-ccnt rate supcrced-
ed the five, and the two the three-cent
rate.
Whether or not any OF the other
dreams of those who favor extending
the postal service-postal telegraphs,
savings banks and the like-are to
come true, is a question for the future
to answer.--Youth's Companion.

Mario as a Stage Lover.

Argonaut:-About 1850 the famous
tenor Mario was at st. Petersburg
singing in company which numbered,
among others, Lablache and his daugh-
ter, then only girl, but who after
wards became tho celebrated Mdlle.
DeCaters. One day, in some opera,
and during the usual duo of passion, to
her amazement and Indignation she
heard Mario, while she sung alone,
whisper so low that the words reached
only her own ears, "Mia cara! Mia
bella! ANA me! Iot'adoro!" So Offend
ed was she that after leaving the stage
she refused to listen to the tenor's ex-
PLANTATION, and refused to sing with
him again. Some days afterward,
however, from the wings she heard
Mario sing the same duo, and this time
with a very ugly woman who had as
sumed the abandoned role. Again did
the tenor fill in his '.rests" with the
same impassioned whispers-''Mia
cara! 10 t'adoro!" Then she under
stood The burning avowals were
only a means Of keeping himself en-
train of retaining the emotion neces-
sary for the continuance of his role.

How Two Lovers Learned Too Late
the Fate of a Missing Note,

HOW wO Lovers Learned TOO Late
the Fate of Missing Note.
Janet Russell was the belle of the
village, u Canadian village on the st.
Lawrence, and was admired by all the
swains who dwelt in those parts, but
her STEADY company" was handsome
young fellow-John Miller-son of the
village Postmaster, who also kept a
general store. John and Janet went
together to rustic frolic one night,
and on the road John asked the old
question, which was answered in the
affirmative. Things went nicely, but at
last, Janet dancing twice in succession
with young fellow whom he had look
ed upon as rival John felt bad, and
on the way home sharp words passed
between them. The girl told him she
wished it had been Charley Hall (thc
rivaD who had asked her the question
before mentioned, whcreat John said
he would give her day to take that
back, and if not-why, all was over be-
tween them. Janet relented when she
had time to think about it, and tho next
morning wrote a note to John and
dropped itinto the letter-box at old Mr..
Miller's store.
Time passed on. A year or so after
that Charley Hall and Janet Russell
were married. Some five years passed
and old Mr.. Miller died, leaving his
property and his store to his son, who
at once set about making improvements.
And so it happened that the day the old
letter box was broken up, Mrs. Hall,
accompanied by her eldest daughter,
four years old, was in the store. A
letter dropped to the floor, workman
picked it up, and with the remark,
Here's an old letter addressed TO you,
Mr.. Miller" passed it to John. At the
moment he was talking to his old
sweetheart.
He took the letter and turned it over
and over in his hand. As Janet's eyes
fell on it she blushed. John opened
the note and read it, and then he hand
ed it to Janet with bow and the words:
THAT has been in the box ever since
the day after VIC went TO the dance at
Turner's. All, Janet, If / had only
known!" Mrs. Hall took her child by
the hand and went home without a
word, Janet's poor little note had been
caught and concealed for nearly six
years, and had changed the current Of
two lives, but for better or worse who
can tell.-Detroit Free Press.

The Prosaic Reflections Of a
California Disciple OF Schopen-
hauer.
/ tell you, there would be q great
many. more romanccs IL they did not
end in such matter-of-factw way, argues
a writer in the San Francisco Chroni-
Gle. Fate is with peoples lives, like the
young woman who begins to write u
story. II seems to go a certain way
with them and then it drops them, or
else it suddenly becomes practical and
makes everything prosaic. Romance
does not last. You go to picnic and
you meet a lovely girl, and you have
just the sweetest time in the world un-
der the tree and by tho broollsidc.
And you are in n kind Of u poetic dream
until it comes time TO go home, and
when you get to the ferry you make a
break for your dinner. You're too hum
CRY to be poetic. The human stomach,
come to think OF it, is sad destroyer
OF your romance. Its prosaic call is so
recurront and SO imperative. don't
like to think OF the shepherds and shep-
herdcsscs of Arcadia sitting down TO q
meal Of coarse bread and buttermilk;
there may be poetry compatible with
eating grapes, but even pears and APP
pies and oranges are only poeticdi
when they arc part OF the landscape.
Few people can cat oranges and feel
comfortable without n finger bowl.
When you come to think of il, every
thing in life seems TO cOnspirc against
poetry. It's all very well TO fancy your
sweetheart laid on her snOw-white
couch dreaming OF you, Or standing in
gauzy costume by the window looking
Mt the moon and apostrophizing you us
Romeo. But then you know that she
has to take her boots of and take the
hair-pins out OF her hair, and when her
dainty little feet touch the floor you
know that she screams, Couch! how
cold it is!' and in that single instant
poetry is dashed to pieces. And you!
Well, you have lots of poetry internal
ly, don't doubt, but you arc not poetic

A LOST LOVER.
JAMES wHITcoMB RILEY.

Twas Summer ago when he left me
here
Il Summer of smiles with never tear,
Till / said to him, with a sob, my dear
Goodbye, my lover, good-byel
For loved him, oh, as the stars love night
And my cheeks for him flushed red and
white
When first he called me his hearts delight
Good bye, my lover, good bye!
The touch of his hand was thing divine
AS he sat with me in the soft moonshine
And drank of my love as men drink wine
Goodbye, my lover, good bye!
And never night as knelt in prayer,
In gown as white as our own souls wear,
But in fancy the came and he kissed me
there
Goodbye, my lover, good-bye!
But now, oh God what an empty place
My whole heart isl OF the old embrace
And the kiss loved there lives no trace
Goodbye, my lover, good bye!
He sailed not over the stormy sea;
And he went not down in the waves-not
he
But oh he is lost-for he married me
Od-bye, my lover, good bye!
