a COMMON SENSE VIEW.
Parks May Be Legally Purchased by the
City.

Parks May Be Legally Purchased by the
City.
A gentleman thoroughly conVersant
with city affairs and in close touch
with everything pertaining to munich.
pal progress, speaking on the right OF
the city to purchase land for parks,
said yesterday
"Ihe wording Of the act OF 1889 in
relation TO this matter is as follows:
To purchase. by and with the consent
Of majority Of the qualified electors
obtained at an election held therefor.
My conclusion is that majority Of
qualified electors means majority Of
the votes cast at the election in quss-
ton. BY what other criterion Is an
elsctor to be Judged save by the exsr-
else of the franchise? Surely the law
never intended that that particular
proviso should he construed so that a
majority Of those registered should be
obtained.
Registration alone is no Qualifica-
ton in Judgment. Tue only true qusli-
fication Is the electors exercise OF the
right to vote in every ward In this
city, or in many wards varying, Of
course, with the sizs of tn ward. there
are hundreds who should not bs regis
tered. Many of them are not even
naturslized while still more OF them
never pay taxes. These are two essen
tisl qualifications and how is it posi-.
BILE to discern who is or who is not in
| possession of them?
mo. sir, >" concluded the speaker. "A
qualified elector is the man who votes.
1ne fact that he does vote is the best
proof as to his qualifications. The fact
that many registered persons do not
vote would imply to any dIsinterested
person that they do not possess the nee.
essary qualifications. This seems to be
clearly proven by the fact that they do
not exercise the right so dear to all
Americans, the right to register their
will by judiCious uss of the ballot"

AMUSEMENT NOTES.

In this city, where "a Texas Steer"
is so well known, there can be no ques
tiou as to the reception it will receive
this evening at the Academy. The re-
turn one gets for the attendance at a
Hoyt play is most remarkable one
since laughter and merrimsnt are sure
to rule the hour. In the present offer
ing, with abundance of pastime, there
is something to take away and con-
slider, in the ssnseful hits at political
shortcomings.

For the healthy the nap in the
afternoon is not necessary and The
brain will not demand it. If man
finds himself mapping at that time,
either he has eaten too much at his
midday meal or his cerebral circula-
ton is feeble.
Its the universal habit of the pig
that is being fattened to sleep in his
sty after his midday meal, says the
Hospital The working horse, on
the other hand, which gets nothing
at midday but feed of corn-a small
but highly nutritious meal-does not
sleep at all after it, but is fresh and
ready for work in half an hour.
One would like to persuade all
literary workers to work in the day
and to sleep in the night. They
should never go for more than eight
hours day, Early rising would be
good for most of them. A cup Of
coffee and a piece of toast at $3.50
might be followed by an hours work
from to g. The whole hour be-
tween8 and should be devoted to a
Thoroughly good breakfast and a
short Walk Work from o to y.
Haitian hour should then be spent
in gentle sauntering in the fresh air,
and light lunch should follow-say
chop and bread, with modicum OF
light pudding, accompanied by a
small glass of lager beer. From to
9 a pipe and a saunter, and at 2 a
cup of black coffee. From ? to 4,
work; at 4 cup of afternoon tea,
and a rest until 3. From to or
$3.50 the real labor of the day should
be over and completed,
At a good, well-cooked, appetite
ing, slowly-eaten dinner, followed by
one cup of black coffee, but no tea.
At 1915 a small cup of cocoa and
one or two pieces of toast. At II,
bed, and sleep till or $3.50. The
brain worker should not work more
than five days week in this fashion.
He should have two days OF leisure
in the week.
The first of these should be devoted
to brisk and thoroughly fatiguing
exercises in the open air, and the
second to lolling, Longing, little
light reading, and the like. This il
the kind of life which physiology
would suggest for the brain-worker
and in this "scheme of lifen there il
neither place nor necessity for the
afternoon nap.

The practice of throwing over
board from ships letters inclosed in
sealed bottles is centuries old. Hol-
low copper spheres and oaken barrels
have also been used as sea letter
carriers in attempts to trace the
direction of ocean currents or to send
word from persons at sea to friends
on land. Barnacles readily attach
themselves to these drifting letter
holders and sink Them. Only very
few of the many messages that have
been thrown into the sea have ever
been recOTered.

congress several years to make up
it's mind to erect library building,
but finally in April iSS6, it decided
to do it. A site was chosen on Cap
itol hill directly east Of the capitol
itself. and $3.50, OOJ was appropriated
for its purchase. Forty or fifty
buildings had to be removed before
excavation could be made for the
foundation. 1t took 300 feet of
fencing twelve feet high to enclose
the ground, and it was nearly four
years after the fence was built before

largest ediace in Washington and
the largest library building in the
