Mr.. LOGAN'S GIFT.
Leicester's New Park
Will Be a Thing
of Beauty.
THE WORK is WELL UNDER WAY.
Magnificent Gardens and
Drives Will Be Among
Many Fine Features.

Leicester. Sept. 14-One of the most
costly gifts ever presented 10 the town
of Leicester will soon be complete and
ready to furnish enjoyment to the citi-
zens of Cherry Valley and the whole
town as we'll Six and half acres of
meadow land in Cherry Valley, bound
ed by Church street, Olney street, and
the Cherry Valley cemetery, have been
transformed into a park which any
town would be proud to own, through
the generosity of James Logan of
Worcester.
Mr.. Logan was a native of Leicester,
and is we'll known as general manager
of the American Envelope Company.
All expense has been borne by ME-. Lo-
gan, and everything has been done un-
der his direction H B. Clewley, land
scape architect of Boston, has had the
contract for the job, and for the past
two months a force of men have been
at work.
Ernest Girard of Boston is the engi-
neer in charge of the work on the
grounds, and the setting out of shrubs
has been in charge of Charles E. Her
ron. Almost all of the whole tract has
been cleared of loan, the flower beds
dug down for three feet, the sub-soil
dug out and rich earth put in.
The grounds will slope gently from
the cemetery to Olney street, and some
grading remains to be done. The cen
trail part of the plot will be seeded to
grass. but along the outside are beds
for shrubbery and graceful rows of ev-
ergreen trees. Several hundred of
evergreen stock has been bought from
the Bloomingdale nurseries, Worcester,
and the Shady Hill Nursery Company,
Boston.
Many varieties of evergreens are rep
resented, including the Scotch pine.
Austrian pine, white pine, Frazer
pine, Douglas spruce and verginata
juniper. 1t is early yet to plant flow
ering shrubs, and the work of plant
ing that class of vegetation will not
be begun for three weeks. Between
1900 and 1000 specimens will be set out
in the park
A circular carriage drive encircles the
central grass plot, and there viii be a
number of pleasant walks among the
shrubbery. A small plot of land be-
yond Olney street on the shore of OIL
ney pond will be included in the park.
A retaining wall has been built, and a
small pavilion or outlook will be con-
structed overlooking the pond. A rus
tic pavilion will be built next the Gem
etery wall. Mr.. Girard, the engineer
in charge, is planning for an outlook
on the highest point of the ground next
the cemetery. 1t will be arranged so
that practically every part of the park
will lie stretched out below the specta-
tor at this point, and would be Just the
place for band concert.

"Perspiration is essential to health"
writes Edward B. Warman In the August
Ladies Home Journal. "A person in
good health never suffers from the heat
or the cold unless unduly exposed. One
may be Inconvenience by excessive per
spiration, but it is condition of health
rather to be sought than to be avoided.
Too much of a good thing, however is
not desirable. Proper care OF the body,
proper diet, proper exercise, with proper
bathing, will produce the normal con-
ditlon-in which condition the heat viii
not oppress any one. Let me especially
caution against the too sudden checking
of perspiration. Millions OF canals or
tubes from the inner part of the body
open their little mouths at the surface,
and through these channels, as ceaseless
as the flow OF time a fluid containing the
wastes and impurities OF the system is
passing outward and is emptied out of
the skin. This fluid must have exit or
we die in few hours. II it does not
have vent at the surface Of the body it
must have some internal escape. Nature
abhor5 shocks as she does vacuum.
Heat distends the mouth Of these ducts
and promotes a larger and more rapid
flow Of the contained fluid; on the other
hand, cold contracts them, and the fluid
is at first arrested, then damned up, and
then it rebounds. II these mouths are
gradually closed Nature has had time to
adapt herself to the circumstances by
opening her channels into the great in
ternal water ways of the body. and no
harm follows; hence the safety and Wis
dom of cooling off slowly after any eAere-
ion. and the danger of cooling oil rapidly
under the same circumstances. Encour-
age perspiration, under proper conditions
and with proper precautions. Always
keep the surface Of the body warm and
clean, and at the end OF the season you
will be mentally, morally and physically
sound"

The again on trial befote court
Dreyfus martial composed OF some
Trial OF the best officers IN the
French army. The instruc-
tons to the court are different this time
than in his former trial, as now the pros
ecution must prove his guilt. In the
former trial he was compelled to prove
his innocence in accordance with the
French law. The Rennes court martial's
functions are limited to hearing evidence
and passing upon the same as to whether
or not Dreyfus communicated the 'docu-
uents, enumerated in the bordereau, to
foreign power. Dreyfus has answered
no, very emphatically to all questions
asked regarding his guilt and he bears
himself as an innocent man. 1t is to be
hoped that in this trial the French army
will so far as is in its power wipe out the
stain forced upon it by former corrupt
court. II Dreyfns is guilty he should be
punished but if innocent he should be
returned to the position and rank which
are his by right. And redress should be
laade so far as lies in their power.
The higher civil court has adjudged
him innocent and the world at large are
0f the same opinion.

Among the many stor-

seems to be one fact
that stands out more prominently than
anything else, viz: that the fabulous
wealth extracted from that ice bound In

aggerated
That gold exists in the Klondike can
not be doubted but that it exists in such
quantities as the steamship and trans
portation companies would have one be-
lieyc, il not only open TO very serious
doubt. but il the tales Of a large major

Fully 80 per cent of those who have

tell. expense in getting there; greater ex-
pense in living after arrival; great hard
ships, sickness, injured health, in many
cases permanently, and failure to find
the precious metal for which they went
in search.
1t is estimated that nearly il not quite
as much gold ls spent in reaching that
country as is taken out, and when we
take into consideration the Inconvenience

Right here in the Rocky Mountains
are immense treasures never yet dis
covered, and on every hand are prospects
assaying high in gold, silver and the
other metals that cannot be developed
for the lack Of funds. II but part Of
the money spent in seeking among the
ice clad hills and gorgeS Of Alaska was
used in intelligent prospecting, or the
development of prospects already located
in the Rocky mountains. it would pay a
large interest on the capital invested,
and when wealth does come, the man so
Investing will have his health TO enjoy it.
In Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana,
New Mexico, Arizona and the other
mountain states there are thousands OF
square miles of mineral ground that have
never been thoroughly prospected, and
it is here that al investment OF capital
