sUNDaVIN THR PARK.


 The Paterson Press has done good service in making a comprehensive canvass to deter mine the Sunday restrictions placed by the large cities of this country upon their public parks. Sixty-nine cities with public parks respond to the inquiry for facts. The lists sent out for responses contained inquiries regarding municipal permission of boating, the running of steam launches, the use of carrousels and swings, ball playing, music and sale of refreshments. To these queries twenty-six cities replied that in their parks on Sunday boating is allowed; eighteen re- sponded in the negative; it was found that fifteen cities allow steam launches to run, ,and twenty-ons do not; oarrousels are permitted in nine and prohibited in thirly-eight, and swings are permitted in twsnty-four and forbidden in thirty-three. It will bs seen that these numbers do not indicate returns from sixty-nine cities, but many have no facilities for the amusements enume. rated. Thus, twenty-five have no boats, thirty-three no steam launches, twenty-five no carrousels and twelve no swings. Ball playing is permitted in eight cities and for bidden in eixty-one. Twenty-one munici palities allow concerts and forty. eight do not Refreshments are sold in thirty-two of tn, sixty mine.
 This indicates that the old fashioned Sun day has not held it's own very we'll. An in teresting fact brought out by the inveatiga' tion is that nineteen of tho cities inquired O haya no parks Souares preens or com uon they may possess, but they have no ground worthy to be classified as parks. These cit ies are Newark, N. J., Jersey City, N. J. Milwaukee, Wis, Lowell, Mass, New Bed ford, Mass, Somerville, Mass, Kansas City Mo-, Charleston, s. O., Covington, Ky. Davenport, Ia., Auburn, N. Y., Springfield O., Poughkespsie, N. Y., Altoona, Pa., Go hoes, N. Y., Gloucester, Mass, Scranton Ps., Camden, N. J., and Norfolk, Va.

The Meanest Woman la New York.
 From the Epoch1

0ae of the most eontemptsble persons in New York is the woman who is seen daily in Madison or Union Square Park, and who evades the law which torbids dogs being per- mitted to run at large. She ties her dog to q rope long enough to do duty 6 clothes line for a good eized family wash. When the policeman is st the other end of the park she "plays out" rope until the dog can reach the flower bed-, where he enjoys himself to his hearts content in scratching at the roots of the flowers planted at the expense of the taxpayers for the delectsiiOH of visitors 10 the squares. When she sees the policeman coming toward her, this most ssthetio woman hauls in slack till the cur is pulled on the walk.

How Rats Are to be RxsermInated .K
 rE-,.. n--------a

The best course 10 take, when the exter- mination of colony of rats becomes Q ne- csssity, is to make them help to destroy one another in the following manner: A number of tubs, propor;ionate to the quantity of rats in the place which it Is dssired to Til of them, should be placed sbout. the middle of each occupied by e brick standing on end. The bottom of these tubs should be covered with water to such e depth that about an inch of the brick projects above it. The ton of the tub should be covered with snout brown pspsr, upon which a dainty meal of bacon rind and other scraps dear to the rst palate figures "a sloping board giving the rodents facilities for psrfsking of it. The feast should be renewed for several nights so that all the rats in the neighborhood may get to know of the good food which is placed in such easy reach. When 1t is jndged that .his policy has been pursued long enougl the center of the brown paper should be cur in such a manner that any rat venturing upon it will be precipitated into the cold wAter be- low. It might be thought that the result of rhis would be to capture a Tat, or at the most rso, for every tub prepared: but no such mesgre reward for the trouble that has been taken need be feared
 The first rat to iiud his trust abused and himself struggling in the water ct the bo.tom of 6 tub soon recovers sufficiently from the shock to ascertain that there is iittls island or refcge, on 10 WHICH he clamDere ana squesls his loudest for help. Now, the toueal of a rat in trouble attracts every one of his kind within hearing. and very few misaafes
 will elspse before the victim of misplaced confidence Is joined by one of his friends.
 The new conner is As quick to discover the
 chance of escape from 6 wAtery grave that
 the brick offers as was the original victim,
 but when he attempts to avail himself of its
 presence it becomes apparent that there is not room for more than one upon it. The first
 conner resists with tooth snd nail the efforts of his companion in trouble to disposses him | of his coign of vantage and the sQneals which | form an accompaniment 10 the fight for 6 | footing on the brick attract more rats to the | scene of the tragedy. The conflict waxes | more and more furions as rat after rst top | ples into the water, and by morning hedrsg. \ gled corpsss in plenty will gladden. the syel \ of the man whose losses at the teeth of rRtz have induced him 10 adopt this means oi thinning their numbers. Some years sgo the | plan described was tried in a city warehouse | with the result that more than 5000 rafI | were destroyed In 6 single night.

 Dr. Charles w. Dulles, prominent phy- sician of Philadelphia, holds to sthe opinion that there is hope for consumptives and that medical science will soon be able to control the disease. In recent paper on the sub. | ject he pointed out that while in England half century ago there were 55.000 deathi annually among 15, 5,000, 900 people, there are at present in population of 40,000,000 but 14,000 deaths due to phthisis.
 In recent lecture on "Flameless Com bustior" T. Fletcher said: The appearance ol flame is misleadiEg. and the greater the fam' the smaller thejwork.. done, other things being equal have been asked by we'll known engineer if could explain why certain boil ers gave such an exceedingly small duty fol the fuel consumed when the hues were, as h. said, "Hlled from end to end with magnif

 magnificent flame was @ delusion, hollow an'
 cold inside, and not coming in contact witl
 his boiler at all. When the same fuel wa
 burnt with very small flame, hardly visibl
