Wn.t Il Bes.~ Done VITA 49, Three
Pukssc Parha
During the past few pears there has been
. great deal Of talk about fhe CITY acquiring
property suitable for park purpose. since
the IRE the representative men OF fn1s cifF
upon vhom the success OF the movement
dependesi. hare bad their time taken mp
with building and other matters OF vital iHs-
portance. and the subject has been prac-
sically dropped Another reason Tor delay
Is that no provision is made IN the present
charter for raising funds for purchasing
park property. conservative It was deemed
best 20 wait until . new city charter sss
drawn up and adopted by the people. which
would provide for acquiring park land
Although IL may not be generally known.
the city already possesses three pieces
OF pz-k property which are under the
supervision OF . board of park com mis-
sioners, composed Of Mr.. W. T. Boone.
Mr.. &. W. IAxton and Mr.. C. ~ Sheafe.
Txo OF these parks are situated within the
city boundaries and are splendidiy located
They are respectively known as the
KEnnear and Denny parks
Some three years ago Mr.. George K.
Kinnear donated the city five acres. lying
between Olympic avenue and The beach IN
Queen Anne. under condition that the city
would fence and otherwise improve the
property. The park commissioners have
Just completed clearing and fencing the
property. A number of evergreen trees
have been set ont and the property now
presents an attractive appearance The
commissioners merely improved the prop
erty enough TO comply With the donation
stipulation, the city council supplying the
necessary funds
Denny park was donated to the city sew
eral years ago by Mr.. d. 7. Denny. IL is
. four acre tract. situated not far from the
Denny school, and bounded by Depot.
John. Dexter and Orion streets liz has
never been improved, but Mr.. Boone is
now making estimates on .bulkheading and
fencing, previous to steps being taken by
the commissioners to improve the prop
erty.
The city owns . forty acre tract on
high eminence between Lake Union and
Lake Washington. directly south of Mount
ain View cemetery, that was originally in
tended for park purposes, but there has
been talk recently Of using the site for q
high pressure reservoir. Il is not probable
il will be used for park.
In discussing the possibilities of Seattle
having splendid park in the future, COM
missioner Boone yesterday said: I'VE
have had the matter under consideration
for two years. and have several beautiful
sites under consideration. OF course We
cannot purchase property under the pres
ent city charter, but nevertheless have
been making plans for the future. We
think the purchase of large piece OF prop
erty overlooking one Of the lakes would
meet with the hearty approval Of the citi-
zens Of Seattle. But there Is lots of time,
and when the new city charter is framed
suitable park property viii unquestionably
be purchased"

Waiting for the End,

Gen. F. E Spinner, the watch dog
as he was called of the United States
treasury, is treading slowly to the
ever and never. In a letter received
from the dear old man, who is at
Pablo Beach, Fla, he says: My
condition is most deplorable for the
last few weeks. I have not been
able to leave the house, and part
of the time was confined to my bed;
had chills and other sinister bless
ings as adjuncts to my great and
incurable disease, that is slowly but
steadily on the increase, SO there is,
therefore, no hope that we shall ever
meet again, nor that | shall be able
to go North, except to be buried
among my friends upon the Mohawk,
which earnestly hope will happen
ere long, for my sufferings are great
err than eau bear, and am reduced
to a mere skeleton"

Gaming for a Mans Life.

From the Atlanta Constitution
Before the war man was Old trial
in Lauderdale County for murder
The circumstantial evidence against
the man was very strong, and when
the jury retired and took a ballot
the result was six for conviction and
six for acquittal. 1t remained this
way for two days and nights, neither
side showing any disposition to
change their minds. At last one o
the jury, named Silvertooth, pro-
posed a game of seven-up between
the opposing sides, one man to be Sc
leoted from each side, and whoever
won the losing side were to stand by
the result. This was agreed to, and
Sllvertooth, who was in favor of ac-
quitting the prisoner, and another
Juror, who was strongly in favor of
conviction, commenced the game. 1t
was a hotly contested game, and
each juror had scored six points,
when it came Silvertooth's time to
deal. He shuffied the cards carefully
and dealt forth the sufficient number
toeach, and then turned a jack, which
made him win the game and saved
the prisoners life. The six who we're
for conviction voted with the other
six for acquittal, and the prisoner
"as discharged from custody.

A Dangerous Clam.

The giant clam is the largest bivalvs
known. In Northern Australia this is
considered an edible species and is reg
ularly sought after by the natives. Mr..
Denton of the United States Fish Com
missioner has seen CLANS containing
forty to fifty pounds of meat, and it is
a matter of record that individuals
weighing 800 pounds have been OBJ
served. The giant CLAM lies almost
concealed iq the reefs, just showing
the beautiful blue and green of its
mantle above the coral. The crushing
power of this shell is startling. Mr..
Denton thrust stick as big as a mans
leg between the valves of ono Of them
and it was broken short off. A mans
foot would be crushed as easily as a
pipestenl. The natives have a whole
some dread of stepping unawares into
one of these formidable traps. They
kill the animals by stabbing it with u
long sword and then remove the meat
without disturbing the shell, thus saw
ing themselves vast amount of labor
and trouble.

Tanned by Perfumes.

Wild animals are completely fasci.
mated and can be tanned by perfumes.
There was Mrs. Lee in India who had
a tame leopard that played in the house
with her children. He was inquisitive,
as all the cat tribe are, and loved to
stand on his hind legs and with his fore
paws on the window sill look out at the
passers-by.
When the children wanted the place
for themselves they would all take hold
of his tail and pull him down by that.
He was generally very amiable, but
sometimes, his claws being very sharp,
the children were scratched. So Mrs.
Lee taught Sal to keep his claws
sheathed by giving him when he did so
little paper tray on which lavender
water had been dropped. This would
threw h m into transports of delight.
He would tear the paper into bits aud
roll over with it on the floor. With
nothing but bottle of lavender water
have become the best of friends with
leopard, tigress. and Il lioness in
the menaTePie. India Stories.
