A p,u Amusement Enterprlse.

A company of Philadelphia capitalists
have leased the Beaumont Deer Park,
near New Hope, for three years, with the
privilege of purchase, with the intention
of making it an attractive place of resort
for excursions, sc.
They intend to fit it up as an amuse-
ment park, similar to that at Neshamlny
Falls, Willow Grove, etc. Toboggan
slides, merry-go rounds, swings, etc., will
be built, and the lessees intend to have
the grounds In full running order by
Decoration Day, when there will be a
grand opening.
Already nearly every date in June has
been engaged by schools in Philadelphia.
The Reading Railroad has promised
very low excursion rates from Philadel-
phia, and it is expected that the Park
will speedily become very popular place
for city excursions.

Hoods Sarsaparilla has achieved great
success in warding off sickness which, il
allowed to progress, would have under
mined the whole system and given disease
a strong foothold to cause much suffering
and even threaten death. Hoods Sarsa-
parilla has done all this and even more.
It has been taken in thousands Of cases
which were thought to be incurable, and
after fair trial has effected wonderful
cures, bringing health, strength and joy
to the afflicted. Another important point
about Hoods Sarsaparills is that its cures
are permanent, because they start from
the solid foundation of purified, vitalIzed
and enriched blood. But it is not what
we say but what Hoods Sarsaparilla does
that tells the story.

The recent publication by the Trenton
Times of the result in this State of the
operation of the collateral Inheritance tax
has started discussion throughout the
ceuatry as to be the justice of such tax
The fact that this State was shown to
haye been benefited to the extent ofnearly
$499, 1000 in three years from the imposition
OF "a collateral Inheritance tax seemed to
give the subject more than unusual inn
portance. The Washington Post vigor-
ously opposes such tax and says: I'll
the State has a right to any share OF this
property beyond tho right to tax 1t JUS
like other property, it has a right to al

The Senate bill appropriating SIC, 1000,
600 each year for seven years for coast
defenses will probably become law. The
report OF the Senate Committee shows
that the amount of property in ~ sea
ports along the coasts that is virtually UNI
protected by proper system OF coast de-
Tense, reaches the enormous sum Of &c.,
900, 600, 900, of which 81, 600, 600, 900 is
represented by New York, Brooklyn and
Jersey City. The report is very urgent in
asking Congress to give this vast property
suitable protection.
According to General Miles, about all
the protection the New York harbor hse,
is received from sixty-two high power
guns at Sandy Hook. OF these, two are
mounted on gun lift, one on disap-
pearing carriage and one for testing fifty
nine are waiting test. II cost the Gov
eminent to mount the two guns on gun
lift carriages 100000.
Rear Admiral John G. Wake informed
the committee when before 1t that "The
plan OF the Euglish Is to keep their navy
equal Gin strength) TO that OF any other
two nations. II they were at this time to
send over such naval force as they could
spare from Europe they would have their
own way upon our coast. There is moth
ing that could stop them for any great
length of time and they would probably
capture or destroy our whole navy, but
by putting all of our vessels behind San
dy Hook we could make something OF a
fight fer New York, but nothing would
prevent them from raiding the whole
coast" There appears to be no doubt
now but that Congress has awakened to
the fact that the coast must be properly
protected and that money for such pur'
pose will be appropriated.

cow that has been in the habit OF giving
from six to eight quarts Of milk daily until
the last few weeks, when for some unac-
countable reason the supply fell OF, and
she gave only about half that quantity.
There seemed to be no good reason for the
falling of, and Mr.. Drake had the cow
watched, supposing that some one was
stealing the milk. He watched 10 vain
for over week, when one day his son
discovered rabbit milking the COW.
The boy told his father, who did not at
first believe him, but little watching
soon convinced the father that the boy
was right Mr.. Drake deemed the milk
Of more value to him than the curiosity
of the thing, and the rabbit was caught
and put to death, since which time the
cow has given the usual supply OF milk.
