More Seats Needed in the Parks,


notice that the seats are gradually being
removed from Mount Vernon SQUARE. and I
understand that such is the case with other
parks. l do not know why this Is being
DONE but l do know that 1t Is working a
great hardship on those who are in the
habit OF going to these breathing places"
for a little rest and fresh air l am sure
that II the one who Is responsible for this
wrong would go thereosome evening and see
children to whom this park has been a
refuge and relief from the hot, sitting
homes In which they are compelled to live
If he has drop of the milk of human
kindness in his body-would order them
back. Many OF the children who freou mt
this park come from It'll street where they
live over stores, with never a place to play
They come with pale. sallow faces and thin
bodies, the results Of our artificial way Of
living and sO-called civilization" and our
government, or some heartless officer of it,
would take away the seats where they
might rest their tired bodies. The big chill
dren often come with great babies in their
arms, now with no place to rest Invalids,
there are no seats this pleasure must be
denied them As l was seeking a seat
(Which did not fnd), in company with my
mother, who is an invalid and goes I'm a
chair. 1 met an old lady. upward of eighty
years old, who has been In the habit Of
sitting In the park evenings for years, de-
ploring the scarcity of seats and the alb
bones. The very object of these parks is
defeated in the taking out of the seats. I
hope The Star. with its accustomed zeal for
the people, will take the matter I'D.

Cattle as OmnivOra.

Most people are probably Of the opinion
that the goat and the ostrich rank highest
as omnivorous animals. 1t is not 50 gen.
orally known, however, that a COW takes
often very curious things into her stomach.
The United States Department Of Agricul-
ture has given space. In its exhibit In the
to collection of various objects which
have been taken from the stomachs of
cattle killed for beef at the Chicago stock
yards.
The most amazing of these objects is
the iron tooth Of huge western hay rake.
such as Is drawn by two horses upon the
and is four feet and eight inches long, by
about a quarter of an inch thick. 1t was
taken from the stomach of a Texas steer.
which was to all external appearances in
the best Of health when killed From the
stomach Of another Texas steer was taken
an iron bolt thirteen and one-half inches
long by f1ve-eights of an inch thick. OF the
truth of the finding Of these objects inside
the animals in question there seems to be
no doubt. The objects are on exhibition.
accompanied by the names of the men who
loan them
In q rather small COW were found objects
follows: One Masonic emblem. one dime.
one copper cent, two watch rings. one fin
ger ring and a number Of stones. In an
other cows stomach were found one silver
dollar. one silver watch chain. one brass
hair pin. a door knob and seven nails or
pieces of nails.
One of the most curious features of this
remarkable collection is lot Of twenty
three hair balls These were all found in
the stomach of a Texas COW which was
butchered at the stock yards here only a
short time ago. When she was killed the
animal was in good health, but small. She
weighed. when dressed for beef. $50 pounds.
These hair balls are each perfectly solid
hard circular mass. The largest one is
hve inches in diameter and the smallest
about an inch and half. The balls are
formed by the animals licking itself. The
hair comes off and adheres to the tongue.
IL Is then swallowed, and once in the
stomach, Is rolled up and compressed into
the Slobular mass described.

UNITED BRETHREN IN CHRIST.
INCONSISTENT MAN,

What the Lord of Creation Can Do
and What He Cannot Do.
From the Chicago Dispatch
A man can take his life In his hand and
go boldly into the trackless prairie to meet a
herd of savage buffalo. or he can traverse
the horrors of an African jungle without a
shudder in his body. But he cannot enter a
fancy wool shop to match a special hue
without breaking into a violent perspira ton
and finally rushing away without fulfilling
his task.
A man can suffer the amputation Of a limb
In a heroic manner. but he cannot endure a
mustard plaster on his chest without shrek

THE SATANITA WINS,
The Race Yesterday Of the Royal Dart
Yacht Club.

The regatta Of the Royal Dart Yacht
Club. OF which o. H. Study is commodore,
took place yesterday. The course was In
the English channel. starting from a mark
boat on Dartmouth. and sailing to and
around mark boat In the channel. The
course was sailed over four times making
a total distance of forty miles. Among the
contestants were the Calluna, satanita and
Navahoe. 1t was expected that the Britain
MIA would take part in the race She was
all ready to do 50. but just before the start
her captain received a telegram from the
Prince OF Wales ordering her not to sail.
II is conjectured that she was WITHDRAWN
because OF the recent death of the D.xe OF
Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, who was an uncle
Of the Prince of Wales
The yacht Satanita was the first TO cross
the line. She was followed almost imme-
diateiy by the Calluna and Navahoe, Meth
er OF which had any advantage Of the
other In getting away. except that the
Navahoe was to the windward. Before The
first round was finished the Calluna gave
up and withdrew. The Satanita won the
race. The Navahoe continued 10 lose
ground, and finished seven minutes ana
forty-hve seconds behind the Satanita.

1T WAS WORTH A DOLLAR.
How . Man Got Cured of Losing HIS
Umbrella.


From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat
II once answered an advertisement"
said Hugh Meadows, who is at the South
ern. which offered. in return for a 81 bill,
to send an infallible remedy for the habit
of leaving ones umbrella behind In Offices
and more especially in vehicles. As a mon
ey maker that advertiser was a distinct
genius, for in response to my application
and in return for my dollar I re-
ceived a printed slip about four inches by
three in size. with a picture Of a ma.
alighting from a hack with an open UNI
brella, which had got stuck fast In the
door. Below the picture. which It wa.
explained was purposely drawn out of
perspective. were few lines explaining
that II a man would once impress the pict-
ure on his mind he would think Of IL every
time he left vehicle or car, and would be
prevented thereby from leaving his UNI
pfeiia behind. L was in such a rage at
being swindled, as 1 thought, that the in
cldent and Illustration both became photo
graphed in my minds eye, and TO do the
advertiser justice that dollar has certainly
saved me many dollars a year in umbrel-
las. The science of mnemonics is a very
peculiar one, and few people understand it.

DEALING WITH ANARCHISTS.
The New York Police Believe in a
Active Policy.

There were two sudden changes made
yesterday by the New York police in the
matter OF dealing with the so-callei anarch-
lists and with the striking longshoremen.
These changes were evidently ordered by
Superintendent of Police Byrnes.
The first was the appearance on South
street of Police Inspector Williams, with
three captains and a squad OF reserves, all
under orders to prevent rioting and To ar
rest any one attempting 20 interfere with
the men who have taken the places Of the
strikers. AS a result everything was quiet
along South street yesterday.
The second change was a joint move on
the part of the police department and dis
trict attorney to secure the arrest Of the
men who have been endeavoring to stir tt e
unemployed, by speech and action. up to
the point Of rioting.
From present indications II looks as II
