Some time ago when the street
forces were set to work grading Cam
den street and Richmond avenue, the
entire fence of the beautiful Madison
square park, one of the largest and
neatest parks in the city, was taken
down and has never been replaced.
The park now is fast going toNruin,
and the residents about the place are
making a vigorous kick over this
dissertation of once beautiful park.
They claim that people now drive
over the beds at liberty and that just
about dusk and dawn, the cattle of
the dairymen can be seen grazing on
the beds and destroying the trees.
They cordially invite the park in
spector to stroll in that direction oc-
caslonally, and the pound master to
bring several of his assistants with
him to coral q whole herd of dairy

means to convince his subjects that they

Europe. Believing, as is well known his.

it was made to assimilate all that was best
in other countries, he had succeeded in IN
PRODUCING some important innovation into
the half civilized region over which he held
sway At length he had patterns of CLOTH
hung up at the gates of the towns, and
those who did not conform TO the fashions
thus set were dOcNed publicly. Albeit this

Three sacrcd Trees.

The palm, the OAK and the ash axe the
three trees which, since time immemcria!,
were held TO be sacred trees. The first
among them, which figures On the Oldest
monuments and pictures of the Egyptians
and Assyvians, is the date palm honetaH.
Tradition of a later period says that when
Adam left Paradise he was allowed TO taGe
with him three thing0--a myrtle, because
it was the most lovely and most scented
flower on the earth; wheat ear, because
it had the most nou:,iBhment, and cate,
because it was the most glorious fruit OF
the earth. The date from Paradise was in
some marvellous way brought to the Dejaz.
From it have come all the date palms in
the world, and Allah destined it to be the
food of all true believers, who shall con-
quer every country where the date palm
grows.-Deutsch Rundgchau.
