when the hunters return to the viii

game that he has bagged. in sack

not killed many have very little to

As they approach the village, singing
the song of the rabbit hunt, fires are
seen just without the gate aud near
the shrine, AMI the chanting OF wo-
men is heard. They have gathered
to welcome the return of the hunters.
and are rc-echoiuy the song of the

Glass Bricks.

Hollow bricks of glass are being
used in the construction Of tho walls
of winter gardens and plant houses.
They are so set that the hollows are
filed with rarefied air, which is non.
conductor Of heat. The bricks are laid
in a cement that unites tue entire masy
firmly. it is thought to be possible
to use bricks without any support. aud
experiments are being made on roof.
ing with this glass, which, put up in
arch shape, will, it is hoped, be suf.
ficiently strong TO answer all purposes
without the wood or iron frame or.
dinarilY used in sucL buildings.
Houses Of this material are said TO be
heated Mt much less cost than those
made after other methO Is. The light
comes through the bricks, and extra
windows are not necessary. The sys.
tenn is thought 81 combine great
strength aud economy, and il it is a
n success will almost revolutionize the

Growth OF the Papar.Naktng Inlnsrr,

G.SG9, $50 pounds, while ia 1876 it is
placed at tho enormous figure Of / f..

in causing this trcmen lous gro yth
was the development of processes for

large reduction in tho cost OF m1kin1

OF wood pulp shall continue to increase

eecretary Gresham sickness began May
3, when he was attacked with acute pleur-
1sy. The effusion filed the pleural cav
tty, but his condition yielded to treatment
until Saturday when no suffered relapse,
accompanied by acute pneumonia. His
condition since that time has been ex-
tremely critical. His heart action became
enfeehled, requiring the constant admins
tration Of the most powerful heart stimu-
lants.
About $3.50 last evening he sank SO
rapidly that death was momentarily sx-
pected. Restoratives were applied, and
hypodermic injections of nitro-glycerine
(the most powerful Of all heart stimulants)
and strychnine were made. His blood
vessels were In state Of collapse, and his
condition was so critical that tho ply
sicians decided that TRANSMISSION was inn
mediately necessary to stimulate the heart
DIR. Van Ransenlaer opened vein in the
left arm and infused pint and half OF
normal saline solution. The operation
was successful, and about 8 o'clock the
stricken statesman had revived somewhat.
The SECRETARY lay in one Of n suite OF
rooms on the ground floor of the johnson
annex of the Arlington hotel. At his bed
side were Mrs. Gresham, his daughter,
Mrs. r. K. Andrews of Chicago, and his
sonin-law, Mr.. Andrews the nurses and
the three physicians.
The anxious watchers at the bedside
about 9:3o saw the giant frame of the
secretary convulsed by A severe chill. He
sank rapidly, but the chill passed away
and he recovered slightly, and then dozed
Tor few minutes. The physicians con-
tinued to give hypodermic injections of
nitro-glycerine. AT 1920 he suffered an
ether rigor
At IL 30 O'clock, the physicians, despair
Sng N ell further effort, had retired from
The chamber and sat in the next room
ready to render such service as they might
IN smoothing the way to the end when
summoned.
By midnight the signs OF dissolution
were crewding thick and fast. He had
been conscious and even conversed calmly
with those about him, but as the midnight
hour drew near, the waning fsrces of life
were no longer equal 60 the effort and he
sank into silence. Although almost pulse
less, and without sign Of life, his eyes still
showed the CLEAN of intelligence and ap-
probation Of what was going on about
him.
Mrs. Gresham sat at the bedside smooth
Ing his fevered brow and occasionally read
ing 10 him from the Bible passages which
be loved. AS the end approached, his
pulss became hardly perceptible. Gradu-
ally his eyes glazed and closed. But Mrs
Gresham, with noble and heroic fortitude,
continued TO read the words of Gospel
90 her departing husband. Her daughter
and son-in-law stood with bowed heads at
she side Of the couch

peaceful shadow passed over his pale
countenance, his pulse hickered, and the

At 1880 it was apparent that he could
not survive the night. Mrs Gresham'S 5

CHILDRENS' PLAY GROUND
Here's n Chance to Chip Into the Fund

Here's n Chance to Chip Into the Fund
and Keep the Play Grounds Going.
Three Fairgrounds for children were
maintained in Providence during the
summer OF 1894, one each on Smiths
Hill, AtwelPs avenue, and Vinton street.
Iney were designed as places W here chill
dren confined to the city during the hot
months, and especially children
living in the closely populated districts,
could go for recreation and play. Each
ground was under the charge OF kinder
gartners, whose influence was to make
the plays orderly and peaceful, and
who had at their command all the re-
sources OF the kindergarten, TO interest
children and lead them in the right way.
The Fairgrounds were kept open for six
weeks, with an average attendance of over
ninety children each week, at total ex-
pense OF f110 each.
nine Fairgrounds, three for boys from
10 to 13 years of age, and six
for girls and little children. Young
men will act as leaders in the boys play
grounds, maintaining order and justice in
tho sports, teaching new games as we'll as
the best ways OF playing old ones, making
short excursions with the boys to places
OF historic or scenic interest, and acting
in general as elder brot hers.
Kindergartens will be in charge of the
Fairgrounds for girls and little children,
which will be conducted on much the
same plan as last year, except that
instructions will be given to the girls
in sewing and perhaps other domestic
duties, and the experience of last year
will make 1t possible to otherwise enlarge
and improve the work.
The grounds will be located in different
parts OF the city, near to or in the most
congested districts.
Contributions for the support of tho
Fairgrounds are solicited by the joint COM
mittee Of the Union for Practical Progress
and the Free Kindergarten Association,
ana may be semitic treasurer of the former
society, Mr.. William p. Goodwin, 20
Market Square, and will be acknowledged
by him.
