HISTORIC
Spot to be De-
stroyed.
Halls Park Will be an
Allotment.
OakdaIe Avenue Will be
Made Longer
And Residences Cover the Old
Fair Ground.

The heirs of the late Philander D.
Hall have begun movement toward
making the old Halls fair ground"
thing of the past. The park is to be
cut up into lots and sold as soon as
the necessary improvements can be
made. For years the land has been
lying idle, owing to indlsposition on
the part of some Of the heirs, to act
in conjunction with the rest and as a
ball ground, park and landmark for
Akron, the place has grown to be con-
sidered almost public property.
In 1864 the Summit County Agricul-
tural society leased the ground for fair
purposes and fairs We're held there
until 1870 when the lease expired.
Since then, with the exception of base
ball games, the land has lain idle un-
til now.
Mr.. z. D. Hall informed a Democrat
reporter Friday morning that the
work would be pushed as rapidly as
possible to extend Oakdale avenue,
which bounds the park on the west,
through to Maple st. and the entire
street improved.
Elaborate plans have been made for
\ tho d;,,io;op of tho land and IFS dispOs
al will doubtless be a matter Of but a
short time.

1t is wonderful, when you come to

Marriage is a desperate thing. The
frogs in Aesop We're extremely wise;
they Ind n great mind to some water,
hut they would not leap into the well
because they could not get out again"
An old Irish provefb says: Marriage
comes unawares, like n SCOT drop" and
another proverb Is TO this effect.
Marrying is easy, but housekeeping
is hard" Most familiar of all, though
usually misuuoted, is Congreve's Mar
ried in haste; we may repent at
leisure" All Of which ought to he

persons who, meeting other emotional
persons for the nrst time, are prone
to eNclaim, LET us so and get mar

persons who marry on the spur of the
moment are suited to one another, but
1t Is no credit TO either of them that
their marriage turns out a success,
More frequently such marriage Is
foredoomed to failure.

1t is difficult for the residents of the
Eastern States, which have been
blessed with abundant rains, to real
ize the seriousness Of the conditions
resulting from the prolonged drouth
in Kansas, Missouri and other States
OF the Middle West. Mr.. Norman j.
Coleman, Secretary of Agriculture in
President McKinley's cabinet, speaks
thus of the matter: "It is my belief
that the reports from the corn belt
have not been exaggerated. am
firmly Of the belief that to the farmers
of Missouri this drouth is greater
calamity, financially, than was the
Civil war. believe that the losses
from dry weather this season will
exceed the devastation, the burning
and sacking and pillaging in the four
years OF war in this State"

May Be Turned to Account.
The time may not be far distant
when our cities will be furnished
with music at every corner. A curious
discovery, which results from much
electrical research and experiment. at
the central technical college of the
city and guilds Of London institute, is
reported by w. Dudel1. The arc, Of
course, sissthe blaze of light which ex-
lists between two sticks of carbon
placed. end on and between. which the
electric current flows. Two different
kinds Of carbon are employed in the
arc lamps. In the one kind the carbon
stick is made hollow. and is filled with
a poWdery material, while in the other
kind the carbon is homogeneous. The
former type Of carbon is called
'ecored" the latter 1"solid.'' Now, the
cal soul It is deaf to all persuasion,
whereas the solid carbon are, he finds,
is like the mouthpiece Of a flute, ready
to emit any note. The note of the
fiute depends, of course, on the length
OF the pipe, as determined by the po-
sition of the fingers and the raising
Of the keys, whereas the note given
out by the solid carbon arc depends on
the nature of a bypass or "shunt" that
is put across the earbons. Mr.. Dld-
dell, having evolved these facts, ar
ranged keyboard of two octaves, SO
that he could play tunes. In demon
strating this before the scientific body
referred to he arranged four arcs in
series to increase the loudness of the
sound, and by varying the self-indue-
tion and capacity in the ''shunt'' cir
cult he played the national anthem
upon the electric light. "Now, this
Keyboard" he explained, "mayI be
placed at distance from the arc light
just as the current itself supplied to
an arc lamp is in most cases generated
by a machine at considerable dis
tance. Hence" said the scientist, 1--WE

it is in reality large enough and suf-

But Mr.. Beddoe says he has now only

batt!efelds Of modern times, every
kind and variety of precious stone,
strange shells from China, Japan and
the Indies, autographs of noted per-
sonages long since dead, old bank
notes, American and foreign, and part
of the original Denton collection of
butterflies, which attracted much at
tention and favorable comment when
exhibited in Chicago and in the east.
Among the autographs, of which there
are several hundred, are those of Louis
XVI. of France, Charles K. of France,
Sir Robert Peel, Charles Dickens, the
present king of Siam, President John
Quincy Adams, duke of wellington,

The widest range in the estimate OF
twenty families was found in the table
expenses. On incomes of from $1,60O
to $4,000, two Or three families of three
persons each reckoned their table es-
penses at IS a week. One family of
two adults and two children gives S26
month, as the average cost of their
table during the year. In other fami-
lies Of the same size and income, table
expenses are computed at from $40 tc
$50 month. There is NO other de-
partment of household expenditure
which requires so much constant care
and good management as the provid-
ing for the table. In an impromptu
symposium of a dozen women upon the
subject Of domestic f1nances,it was de-
clded that out Of an income Of 81 900,
S4OO should be allowed for incidentals,
including savings, benevolenee, life

know of two Or three cases where on
this income about S400 year is saved
leaving $1,000 for the total family ex-
penses. An ideal division has been
suggested by Mrs. Ellen Richards for
different incomes. On $4,000 year for
a family of two adults and two or
three children the proposed expendi-
lures is as follows: Food, $500;
rent, S400; fuel, wages, etc., $500;
clothes s400; higher life, savings, etc.,
$40O. The last head must be under
stood to include incidentals such as
amusements travelling expenses, books,
etc. On $1,000 a year for family of
the same size, the allowance for food
is $500; rent, 5000; clothes, $780, fuel,
wages, etc., $100; higher life savings.
etc., $3.50. Whether rent needs to be
so much as the allowance here made
depends entirely upon the locality. Out
side of the large cities it should be
less. Many families of five or six
with $4,000 a year spend less than $500
for food. Another housewife testi6es
that her husbands salary amounts to
S939 a year. There are three in the
family and their expenses are as fol
lows. Rent, s216; fuel, $75; table

He Loved Animals,

thing that had life was remarkable

friends, and saw in them the handi-
work of God. On his lawn lived fam

dwelt from. year to year in the same
hole in green bank which a scythe
was never allowed to approach. He
had two little friends in pair Of sand
Wasps that made their home in a
crack of the window frame in his
dressing room. One of these he had
saved from drowning in hand basin
taking it tenderly out into the sun
shine to dry. Every spring he would
look eagerly for this pair of wasps
or their children, watching for them;
to come out from or return to the
same crack. The little hycatcher that
built its nest every year under his bed
room window was a constant joy to
him. He had also a favorite slowworn
in the churchyard, which his parish
oners were warned not to kill under
the mistaken idea that sloWWorms
were poisonous. The same love for
Gods creatures was encouraged in his
children. He taught them to admire
and to handle gently every living
thing. Toads, frogs, beetles and
worms were to them not repuls:ve
things, to be killed as soon as seen,
but wonders from the hand of God.

The cold is likely to contract the metal

be found to be losing time It fre-
quently happens that watches are
slightly magnetized by static electric

has been found that dark people are
more likely to exert this influence
over their watches. This influence is,
besides, more common among women
than with men. Persons of this, sort

year, but all watches are liable to
such an accident This is due usually
to the catching of the delicate hair

A watch should be oiled every eight

next take out the balance wheel and
examine the pin and pivots. Next
they let down the main spring and
examine the wheels. It sometimes
happens that jeweler will not find
