The Season at scarboro Beach,

The summer at Scarboro Beach is marked
as usual by delightful weather and plenty of
summer guests. None of the beautiful re-
sorts about Portland are more popular than
Scarboro Beach. Here the famous and
genial Uncle Otis Kaler keeps his comfort
able and otherwise excellent hotel, the Kirk
wood. Among summer visitors from all
parts of the nation the Kirkwocd has a repu-
tation both for itself and for Uncle Otis. At
present there are at the Kirkwood about enc
hundred and ten guests. Among them are :
j. L. Lowery and family; Prof. W. l..
Downing and Prof. Herbert j. Pease, Of
Utica, N. Y; Rev Viptimus. Jones, Of
Toronto, Ont; Rev. T. 81. Rowley and
family, Of No. Adams, Mass; w. j. Crow,
Of Texas; DR.. Arthur j. johnson land wife,
of Toronto; Rufus Fairbanks and wife. A.
Il. hoffman and family, w. S. Gardiner and
family and Robert Gardiner, Of Montreal.
Each Sunday-for Uncle Otis is devout
Congregationalist- are held at the
hotel. Last Sunday they were conducted by
Rev. ViptImus Jones. The singing was an
especial feature, being conducted by the
Misses Fisher. Madame Cornu, Miss Gluenin
Miss Kirby, Miss McIntosj, Prof Pease, and
Prof Downingl
The number Of summer visitors at the
beach this month is very large, and would
be larger still If there were more accommo-
dations. The Kirkwood has been refusing
guests for several days now.

Street Sprinkling.

To the Editor of the Press:
At this season of the year, when pave
ments are hot aud dusty, no sight is moro
welcome to the householder than the advent
of the sprinkling cart with the seeming cool
ness of the air resulting from its copious
showers of water. But street sprinkling,
like everything else, must be done with pro-
per regard to the surroundings to be wholly
good In results. Paved streets, when swept
often, require but little water TO lay the dust
and are much more serviceable when dry.
Horses keep better footing, and crosswalks
are better dry than wet.
Asphalt pavements do not need to be
sprinkled except when swept, because the
water does not soak away. but remains, sub
ject to evaporation, and with the manure
and other matter dropped upon the pavement
forms slime disagreeable TO walk over and
slippery for teams. When asphalt is kept
dry 1t Is as seIviceable as floor, and only
needs to be swept frequently to get the best
results. Macadam and earth roadways are
the proper field for the street sprinkler, and
the more water used on such streets in the
summer the better. Because here is dry
earth, dust, that moistened with water packs
more readily under the wheels of traffic and
makes better road. Less water on paved
streets and more water on unpaved streets
is the true policy. A. w, I'll,

Free kindergaften.

The Woman's Christian Temperance Un-
ion, ever alive to the needs of unfortunate
children, propose to open free kindergar-
ten In connection with the work of the day
nursery. 1t is generally acknowledged that
the surest way 10 effect reform in social or
moral life is to carefully train the children,
and through them reach the homes. This
doctrine Is as old as tire history of clviliza-
ton. The man, the character, said Juvenal,
Is made at seven. Implant lessons Of virtue
and welldoing In earliest childhood, said
Plato, II you would insure national peace
and prosperity. Let the playthings of your
children have bearing upon the life and
work Of the coming man, said Aristotle, and
this suggestion Of Aristotle is the keynote
of the kindergarten training. Crime has its
most effectual remedy in judicious work
among neglected children from three TO six
years of age; and this is the work done by
the true kindergarten. The work will be
under the supervision of Miss Abby Norton
and Miss Florence Scales, two w. C. T. u.
members, who are experienced kinderga.tners
and will any friends who are willing to ma
terially aid In establishing free kindergar-
ten for the little folks, who are otherwise
denied the benefits of such training, please
