Brooklyn's Koomy Park.

Brooklyn is becoming quite town
for parks, and the taxpayers have never
been known in recent years to object to
having their money spent for such pur-
poses. There was a great cutlery thirty
five years ago, when the laying out of
Prospect park was suggested, but no.
body now worries because the project
was carried through. The city made a
very profitable bargain in buying the
518 is acres contained in that park and
paying only So, 918, S70.70 for them. Since
then the city has expended SIS, 34a, S60.35
ON construction account, making this
enc park represent an expenditure Of
$9,288, 231.o5, but if it was put on the
market tomorrow it would easily sell for
twice that amount.
This is''the biggest breathing spot in
the city. 1t contains Ito acres Of wood
land, n acres of lakes, 70 acres Of
meadow land and 259 1-8 acres of plan
tationa 70 accommodate owners of
horses there are miles Of drives and
ITO miles Of bride roads, while the
most enthusiastic pedestrian ought to
be satisfied with his 10 miles Of walks.
In addition the national guard and the
baseball players are provided with
plot Of level greensward known as the
parade grounds, and covering an area Of
40 acres.-New York Times.

A Catholic Home.

What an earthly paradise is 8 refined
Catholic home! The parents belong to
some of the church societies and the
older children are members of the soda]-
ity. The sacraments keep them inno-
cent, and the Sacrament Of sacraments
gives them the ineffable peace of Christ.
Quiet, order, gentleness and kindness
are the guardian angels of the house
hold, and education brings in it's accom-
plishments to add their charms to the
ordinary monotony of life. The souls of
all the members Of the family are grow
ing In grace; their minds are open to
what is most choice in science and art;
and, in their material surroundings, they
enjoy all the comforts and some of the
luxuries Of nineteenth century existence.
Troubles may come and troubles may
go, but the hearts in such home are
tranquil Catholic Review.

The Features of the Camel.

Apart from differences in species, to
enumerate the parts of the camel is to
catalogue instances of evident design.
His long neck, giving wide range Of
vision in desert marches and enabling
him to reach far to the meager desert
shrubs on either side of his pathway.
The cartilaginous texture of his mouth,
enabling him to eat hard and thorny
plants-the pasture of the desert. Ears
very small and nostrils large for breath
ing, but also specially capable Of closure
by valvelike folds against the fearful
simeon. Eyes prominent, but protected
by heavy overhanging upper lid,
limiting vision upward and guarding
from the direct rays of the monday sun.
Cushioned feet, peculiarly adapted for
case of the rider and the animal alike.
Five horny pads to rest on when
kneeling for burden or repose on the hot
sand. His hump--not fictional, but 8

When Ger that black and bloody field the war

While yet the deafening thunder of battle rolls

And louder roars the cannon aud thicker falls

Till the field where they are fighting is covered
with the dead;
But Kearney leads Us onward along the col

But fatal bullet strikes-pierces now that

And We know that with our comlade we for

last, faint breath,
And dark shadows fall around us bringing

He is gone--our pride, our leader. gone forever

Where upon Gods field Of battle islands he ever

And when on the glorious dawning OF the

A FLAG Made Of Undershirts.

Perhaps the most interesting war relic
in Maine is a Union flag made from the
undershirts of the prisoners at Salisbury
prison. The prisoners had set day
upon which they intended to rise and
oyerpower the guards. The flag wac to
be used as q rallying signal. But before
the day arrived orders came for them to
be exchanged. The flag was brought
home by Lieutenant George B. Kennis
ton, of Boothbay, q member Of the iftth
Maine, whose properly the flag now i.

encounters. il which the leaders on
either side set q shining example to their
followers, were by no means uncommon,
and almost all the men on our side who
came to the front could hold their own,
and more than did so, even with the ex-
pert hereditary swordsmen who rode
against them.
Nicholson was as efficient with HE arm
and wrist as with his quick decision and
active brain. Hodson of Hodson's Horse
was the very ideal of cavalry leader,
and his name was terrible to the natives,
as much, perhaps, by reason of his repu-
tation as swordsman as because of any
of the other so]dier-'ike qualities OF
which he was possessed. Sir Dighton
Probyn, when he was at the head of his
native cavalry squadrons, was looked up
to by his followers as very Paladin, and
could beat the best of them at tent-peg-
ging, lemon slicing, Or any of the tests OF
horsemanship dear to men who are SOL
diers by tradition, birth, and prediction.
Last, but not least, there we're few men
in India twenty years ago who would
have cared to meet Lord Roberts, as we
must now learn to call him, at any OF
these exercises if heavy stake depended
on the issue. Even now, when years and
the cares of Office may reasonably be
supposed to have dlmmed his eye, it is a
refreshing sight to see the Commander
in-Chief take the first peg as he usually
does, at the Simla gymkhanas, and to
note that he can WELD a lance with q
dexterity which mono of those who follow
him will surpass, and not man of his
age in all India equal.
Nor is it in our armies alone that such
qualities in officers have ever commanded
admiration. The brilliant Murat, vain
and theatrical as he was in dress and
manner, when the battle was at it's height
was never more thoroughly at his ease,
and never showed more strikingly to adj
vantage. The handsome figure covered
with lace and frippery was always wont
to shoot far ahead of the squadrons be-
hind into the melee, and regarded a
chance as thrown away which did rot
enable him to lay several opponents low
by the superior skill he could display
with the saber.
Lasalle, young, bright, and intelligent,
who fell at Wagram, the best leader of
cavalry of Europe, with the one excep-
ton we have just been speaking OF, at
two thirty years of age, owed much
Of his influence and authority to bis fine
riding and his cunning of fence. In our
own times Skobeloff was just such an
other, and the halo of romance which
played about him arose in large degree
from the physical advantages he could
boast OF among his uneducated troopers.
Valentine Bakers is another name which
will occur among several others, some OF
whom are happily with us still, and we
may hope that, unless the character OF
En9lishmen widely alters, we may never
lack plentiful supply of men Of the
same quality.
