Brooklyn Ia 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 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
$40 10 acres contained in that park and
paying only ~, 9ls, $40. 20 for them. Since
then the city has expended Il, 3lS, 800 80
ON construction account, making this
one park represent an expenditure Of
", adS ,23l ,05, but ii it was put on the
market tomorrow II would easily sell for
twice that amount.
This Is the biggest breathing spot in
the city. II contains 40 acres OF wood
land, n acres OF lakes, 20 acres of
meadow land and a5O 10 acres of plan
tations. To accommodate owners of
horses there are miles of drives and
u lilo miles of bride roads, while the
most enthusiastic pedestrian ought to
be satisfied with his IL 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
~ acres. New York Times.

Every progressive city is proud OF It's
fire department, and every department oil
any age has it's hero also its pride among
horses and often among dogs In the
human class very few have equaled the
record of Captain George W. King. OF
engine company No. 3, Pittsburg. He won
his first honors ut confiagration ON
Smithfield street. in the year 1868 at which
seven young women lost their lives. The
boy fireman, King, was the first to enter
the building and attempt the rescue OF the
unfortunate inmates. He succeeded in
carrying three of them out, but they were
suff located by the smoke before the street
was reached.
In The year 1870 he was in the three day
fight with tbe STANDARD Oil fire at the
Sharpsburg bridge. At the riot fires of
1877 he was on duty for three consecutive
DAYS without rest. While st. Philomena' 8
church was burning one of the malicious
rioters cut the hose with dagger. King
saw the act and promptly knocked him
down, taking the mans weapon from him.
In 1880 there was n big fire at the corner of
Garrison alley and Liberty street King
was working on'the steep roof, when some
OF the firemen accidentally turned stream
OF water on him. The force Of the blow
caused him to lose his balance, and like a
log he started to roll down the roof toward
destruction. The spectators below closed
their eyes and waited in horror for the
man to be dashed to death on the pave
ment. But Kings time had not come
Just as he was plunging over the edge he
caught the rain spout and, clutching it
with both hands, held on for dear life. A
rope was passed down to him and, grasp
ing it, he was safely drawn up onto the
roof
Again and again Captain King has been
apparently wrapped in flames and yet
come out with slight damage. At one

cesstul method OF putting out fire, and
exc frequently eur.oyed, IS To kill . horse
q COW, and splitting the carcass drag it
aoug lhe hre line an,l over the flames

This IS done by attaching long ,virs
rupees to two limbs of the carcass. To each
of which is hitched a horse on which IL ,,r

rides ON either side of the line of tra

used instead of the carcass of an animal.
by this method a line of fire twenty miles

night. Men ON foot usually follow after
tue horsemen and put out any fire that
may remain after they have passed. This

chinery, machinery SO fine that when the
last pairing is cut off the fur sometimes
hangs in one Iilmy section. This is worked
mp into felt. Ordinary hats are made from
rabbit skin. A better class is made from
hare skin, The best are made from the
nutria, kind of water rat trapped in
Buenos Ayrcs, and then come beaver and
musquash, obtained in the United States
and Canada
The cowboy wants the best hat in the
world, and as he pays for it he gets it. The
nutria felt stands wet and remains stiff
brimmed after soaking, because it is made
from the fur of water animal. The
American jackrabbit is of no use at all To
the trade. The English rabbit supplies
the best fur, like silk, but of course not
waterproof. Then comes the New Zealand
rabbit, followed by the Australian.-In.
