THINGS WOMEN TALK ABOUT

The hearts of the members of Aux
iliary D to the Outdoor Recreation
league ere heavy within them at the
prospect of having to give up the chill
dren's free Fairgrounds at Ninety
ninth street, near Columbus avenue, in
New York. These grounds. which are
in the center of the congested tene-
ment house district of the upper west
side. have been the Mecca toward
which the fee.5 of all the children Of
the neighborhood have turned as in
stinctively as flowers to the sun.
'"The first two weeks we opened"
said Mrs. Clarence Burns, chairman of
the auxiliary, to newspaper man,
eve registered LOO children, while
from two hundred to shree hundred
children play there every day Last
year the Recreation league furnished
5000 toward the maintenance of the
work; but this year they say they are
unable TO help us out, because they
have no funds. T. seems hard to give
up this oasis which means so much in
the arid life of a city child in midsum-
mer, but unless some way is opened,
it will have to be DONE" and tears
stood in the big brown eyes of the
p1ucky woman, who is seldom daunted
in carrying out her plans for social
.betterm6nt.

Word has just reached the Sunshine
office of the death of Mrs. Frances l..
Mace. authoress, at Los Gatos, Cal
Mrs Mace had been a, member of the
Sunshine society bU. a short time, and
was therefore known personally to but
few. but many of her poems are house
hold words treasured in the hearts of
women the world over. THE Los
Getos News speaking of her death
on July 20, says:
Mrs. Frances Lawton Mace was born
in Orono. Me-, January Is, 1884. She
was married TO B. H. Mace. a promi-
nent attorney at law. in 1855. At the
age of seven she began to make
rhymes. and when thirteen she had
translated the Aeneid. At the centen-
NAL in Bangor, in 1869. her poem was
selected to be sung, When Portland

The London register generals re-
turns of the marriage rate, recently is
sued. show that ever since 1871 second
marriages have been on the decline.
In 1897 in every 1000 marriages 60
widows ertered the bonds of matri-
mony. as against 100 in the five years
ending 1875. The last census shows 4
general rise in the marriage rate OF
sixteen persons to every estimated
1000 of the population, as against
fraction over fifteen for the last 'twen-
ty years. In 1897 more divorced per-
sons were remarked than in any year
on record These facts provide food
for reflection.

confirmation in the case Of Harry Killman. an

mouth that cannot endure the touch of
heated smoke. Capt. KiIlman uses nothing
but plug tobacco in his coloring process. buy
ing it in pound lots and cutting 1t up as fast as
needed. As the tobacco is kept on q shelf over
the kitchen stove. It often gets too dry for use
To remedy this fault the CAPTAIN cuts a raw
potato in half and places the raw side OF the
potato on top OF the tobacco, thus preserving
the proper moisture.
Last winter when potatoes were high a
neghbor told Capt. Kiilman that he was ex-
travagant TO throw the potato sections away
after they had laid for short time on the to-
