A determined assault upon the 81 per

contradiction. To say that the poor are uni
versally self-respecting and anxious TO preserve
their neighbors from public charity is merely
opening an opportunity for some one else to
enumerate dozens of cases il. which grasping
spirit of selfshness is the only motive. But to
give the general impression of one who knows
the poor in a friendly, unofficial way is to come

NEIGHBoRILNEss IN THE TENEMENTs.
1t is 4 common enough observation that in
proportion TO their means the poor are more
generous than any other class. The neighb-rIi-
ness of the dwelers in tenements would offer
material for more than story Of great
hearted unselfshness. The general feeling IS
that they must stand together to face the out
side world however they have disagreed among
themselves on sundry occasions When trouble
comes to one family in 4 tenement, in nine cases
out of ten the others band together 10 help the
unfortunates over the hard sTot. This. of course,
holds good among the honest and hard working
poor; the submerged form another division,
but even among them class spirit is apparently
strong. A little story VIII illustrate the lengths
to which the poor Will go to keep from one whom
they respect the dreaded approach OF the charity
worker.

fessor W. o. Atwater, in one of his most recent
contributions on the nutritiVe value of foods, in
comparing nutrients in respect to their fuel
values, their capacities for yielding heat and
mechanical power, states that "One pound of
protein lean meat or albumen of egg is just
about equivalent to a pound of sugar or starch,
and little over two pounds of either would be
required to equal one pound of the fat of meat
butter
The mistake commonly made with reference to
the of fat food is that il is only eSpe
cially applicable in cold climates erroneous
inference, the same that cold is preventive of
consumption. That fat is the almost exclusive
food in Arctic regions is because other food is
not Obtainable, not because of the frigid climate
1t is necessary food though not in such excess
at all times and everywhere, to supply the pO
tential energy required by the organism to con-
struct IT, tissues and maintain the body, the
temperature of the body being about the same
in all climates. Fat does not stand alone in this
regard, except under such extraordinary circum-
stances those referred to. Carbohydrates of
various kinds contribute to the same functions
fat under ordinary conditions, but they do
not suffice to maintain the stamina of the or
ganiSm to the highest degree anywhere without
the assistance of or being supplemented by some
kind of fat.

student and for the scientist, but this place is
maintained for the purpose of showing the peo-
pie what may be done with hardy plants, how
they be used in decorating and identifying
their homes and gardens. Besides this. we raise
all the plants which used in the various
city parks and the new house will be used to
store the tender plants during the winter
months"
1t is intended to take the plants from the
house in the spring and plant them east of the
greenhouse in sub-tropical garden, which is
being laid out.
A part of this five reservation is called
the rock garden. This is at the north end of
the greenhouse, and by walking along the paths
one sees first of all the flowers of the American
prairie, including the sunflOwer aster, chrysop-
sis. Helenium and pampas plant. Beyond these
are the plants Of higher attitudes, and finally,
the Alpine plants and vines. The narrow path
leads through beds of Alpine roses to an ele-
eation from which may see the flower
farden. which lies to the west of the new green
house North of the garden is a propagating
Aouse. where plants of the cactus family are
housed When the plans for this part of Bronx
Park are completed a rosarium will occupy the
ground south of the flower garden, and another
house as large the one just completed will
stand parallel with the new structure on the
other side of the garden.
II more people knew how to reach the park,
and if it were more generally understood that
one can see the beauties of the place in a few
hours, the number of visitors would increase.
BY going to Bedford Park on the Harlem di-
vision of the New-York Central Railroad one
Ia within few minutes walk of the museum
and the great greenhouses of the Botanical
Gardens. A walk through the most picturesque
part of the park brings one in ten or fifteen
minutes to the old Lorillard mansion which is
now police station. and from there it is only
a few hundred yards to the new greenhousn
and that part of the park whence all the other
parks draw their floral supplies. From the
Lorillard house walk along the west bank of
the Bronx River through the hemlock grove
takes the visitor 10 the bridge 10y which he may
reach Pelham-aVe.. and about three hundred
yards beyond this point is the northwest en-
trance to the Geological Park. The new bear
den the buffalo range and all the attractive
features Of the geological collection are near by
and half mile from the entrance is the Ford
ham station. Hundreds of visitors who wish to.
visit only the animals go to the park by way of
West Farms. In this case the trip is reversed
and the return journey to the city is made by
way of Bedford Park

HUMBLE HELPFULNESS~

OF TOUCHING sELF-sACRIFICE

A queer little story found its way into last
weeks newspapers. 1t told of a small boy. rep
rimanded by his aunt for his general tough
ness and threatened with the Gerry Society.
The child thought he heard the approach OF the
dreaded agent, ana sprang from the window to
the paved court twenty feet below. Il would
rather die than go with him." he had said Now.

He belonged 20 a gang" among whom the
Gerry Society was probably discussed with con-
siderable interest His opinion on the subject
had been made up with elaboration, and he
paused on the windowsiH before his leap he IN
derstood the probable consequences. Perhaps he
did not fully realize that he would be taken
away to the hospital only to die-death is pretty
far from thoughts of eIeven-bUt he knew his
danger and chose it rather than face the man
who meant loss OF liberty and loss Of prestige
among the other boys.
The Gerry Society is an organization intended
to do good and justifying it's existence. This
chiId's horror of it was based instinct. 10t
on reason The society would have given him
better treatment. very likely, than h received
at home: but none the less he preferred 20 take
his fatal leap rather than submit to its
thority 1t all leads one To ponder as 20 the
mental attitude of the poor toward those insti-
buttons which civilization has built up ostensbly
and as far as the rest of the world can see
actually for their benefit. Dickens in Our
Mutual Friend" gave a never to be forgotten
picture of an indomitable old woman who pre-
ferred flight and death to the comparative com

exists in this country, and Miss Wilkins and
others have shown it in the New England char

man to note the existence in the Western hemi-
sphere Of the tobacco plant and quotes the fol-

Although the fact has been controve-ted, there
can be no doubt that the knowledge of tobacco
and its uses came to the rest of the world from
America. In November 1892, party sent out
