A PUBLIC BLESSING.
Fairgrounds For Children Will

nics the wholesome pleasure of n
country outing. that may well be imi-
tated by other cities.
y privately otiiccred educational as
sociatiOn conceived the boncficent
scheme. says the New York News. but
the city authorities have done all in
their power to contribute to its Snc-
cessful operation.
In all there are eleven recreation
places. Ten of these are i'll the yards
of as many public schools. six of them
open all day and four others in the
afternoon. They have been fitted with
bins and the bins filled with sand. and
to the little ones who are to play in
and play with the sand, with its ac-
companying shovel and pail. will bring
imaginary whlffs of the cooling sea
air in the heated season. 1t was tried
in the summer with the idea of keep
ing the Juveniles out of the streets.
The experiment proved an unqualified
success and II blessing to the little
ones, whose parents or guardians are
not endowed with fair supply of this
worlds goods.
There Is no denying the fact that
the benevolence that prompted these
breathing spots for the poor children
of the city of Newark is of the service
able kind. Better citizenship into
which the favored little ones will grow
will be the result.
If all great cities had these play
grounds. the children would not throng
the streets. where they grow wild and
hear things and see sights which can
not fail to have bad effect upon
their morals.
Anything that keeps these waits out
of mischief and communicating intlu-
ence is to be commended.

WINE AND WATER.
A Simple Little Trick at Once Eff
fective and Mysterious.

Here is n trick that is always effec-
tive, and. while it is very simple in
deed, still it is bound to appear juS n
wee bit mysterious. and many, espe
cially your little brothers and sisters,
will be unable to explain it,
Take two ordinary claret glasses and
fill one to the brim with claret and the
other equally full with clear water.
Cover the top of the glass containing
water with an ordinary visiting card
so that there are no places around the
edge uncovered by the card. Turn the
glass upside down and place it on the
top of the glass containing claret and
adjust the glasses so that their edges
meet exactly all the way around.
Now move the card slightly to one
side so that th,re will be a little, space
at one side Of the glasses inside uncov-
cred by card. At once a thin stream
of clarct will begin to rise through this
space. not mixing with the water at
all, but its edges clear and sharply de-
fined. The water, too, will begin to de-
sccnd into the glass containing the
clarct. pure. glistening white stream
against the rIddy red
The stream of claret, too, rising
through the sparkling white of the wa
ter presents beautiful effect, and in Il
moment the clarct will begin to spread
about the top of the upper glass like
the unfolding of a red rose and the wa
ter will spread in the bottom Of the
lower glass. The two fluids will not
mix, but will present delightful con-
trast of red and white with sharply de-
fined edges.
In a very short time the claret and
water Will have changed places, the
clarct being in the upper glass and the
water in the lower. This is due to the
difference in weight Of the liquids; wa
ter being the heavier, forces itself into
the lower glass, and portion of the
claret is moved up to take the place Of
the descending water.-New York Her

CURE FOR CATARRH.
A Remedy which an Old VirEInian
SAYS Is InfRIlibIe.

An old Virginia horse breeder who is
visiting in New York claims to have an
infallible cure for catarrh. 1T seems to
me-" he said that 30 per cent of the
people of New York city suffer more
or less from catarrh. If they will do
as suggest. they can cure themselves
in short order.
"A friend of mine who used to live
in Yonkers had such severe case of
catarrh that he was compelled to give
up his business and go to Colorado.
The doctors told him that the high alti-
tude of that state would benefit him.
He remained in Colorado nearly year
and then found himself as badly off as
when he left Yonkers. After he had
made up his mind that nothing could
cure him and that he might as well
die ut home as among strangers he met
an old tinker. who gave him the RENE
dy, which cured him in three months.
"Dissolve a little powdered alum in Il
pint of cider vinegar. Use the solution
as gargle three or four times a day.
1t won't do any harm if you swallow
some of it. Two or three times day,
but particularly just before going to
bed, dip chicken feather in vaseline
and stick the feather up the nostrils.
suppose any contrivance bought at
drug store for the purpose will do just
as well as a chicken feather, but the
old tinker insisted that there was some
medicinal virtue in the feather.
''The garyle clears the throat and the
lower portions of the air passages from
the noStrils. The vaseline heals the dis
eascd condition of the affected parts.
In week the sufferer will feel better,
and if he will keep up the treatment he
can be assured that he will be cured"

Light In the SchOOlrOOm

Too much attention cannot be paid
to the question of light in the school
room, says Youths Companion. Many
children are made premature wrecks
from unrccognzed eye strain, and
school visitors may often see small,
helpless children sitting blinking in
the sunlight which streams through n
large window in front of them, making
frowning efforts through the glare to
read from blackboard and using up In
a few hours the nerve force of week.
Light should be abundant and should
come from the left side, so that no
shadow is thrown on slate or book, as
Is the case when the light comes from
behind or from the right.

Teaching Business.

The merchant Of fifty years ago be-
Eeved that business could not be learn
ed by educational processes, says a
writer In Success. The school which
proposed to teach business was looked
upon with suspicion. 1t advertised to
do the impossible. The tricks of the
trade had to be taught In the counting
room under system of apprenticeship.
The merchant received the boy into his
family and made him the trusted COM
panion of his life and labors. 1t was
the same in that day in all trades, but
conditions are changed. The volume
of business now transacted and the
methods IN vogue in offices, stores and
factories make it impossible for the
business man of today to afford time
for the general training Of his clerks
and assistants. The shop is the place
where training must he used rather
Shan sought. Thus In many occupa-
tions it has become necessary to sub
stitute practical training In the schools
for the teaching formerly given
through experience.-Detroit News

OVERHEAD WIRES.
Not Only Dangerous, but Destroy
Beauty of "a Street.


Among the city nuisanccs with which
the coming years will have to deal ell
ergctically is the cumbcring of the
streets with overhead wires, says the
Springfield NlaSsl Daily Republican.
A network of wire is not only ugly in
itself. but it destroys the beauty of
street. No one who has seen a busy
thoroughfarc cleared of all this wire
rigging overhead can fail to nave noted
the great relief to the eye, the effect of
trimncSs and largCncsS given by the
removal of all this cumbersome appara-
tus, which is as out of place in pub
lie thoroughfarc as Il clothesline in a
parlor.
The transfer cannot be made all at
once. and it is already going on slowly.
1t is to be seen to with vigilance that
there be no needless delay i'm effect
ing change which is imperative on
both utilitarian and aesthetic grounds.
Here the representatives of the people
will from time to time have an OppOr
tunity to do good work. not in an I'M
reasonable spirit, but with steady firm
ness.
The ideal, not to be reached at once.
but some time, is the common great
conduit underground, built and owned
by the city. and giving room for all
wires. The mechanical difficulties are
considerable, but not insurmOuntable.
Cambridge intends to try the expert
ment. and when there are sufficient
data Springfield will doubtless be
prompt to adopt system bringing so
substantial relief.

Tacoh Fletcher and his good wife
Mary had lived together the lives of
farmers for twenty years or more and
had never had an hours misundeI-
standing. They had no children, but
their company was all sufficient for
each other, and ut the age of fOrty-five
they were in the hest or health and
without regrets. Then the serpent
crept in. He was he agent of a life
insurance company, and he sat down
in the kitchen where Mrs. Fletcher
was making pumpkin pies and talked
her to n standstil. What he wanted
was to secure mutual insurance. pol
icy by which the surviving husband
or wife would profit in the sum Of
$1,000. The farmers wife had heard
of such things, but was opposed to
them. and the agent had to talk for
two long hours before he could secure
her promise to talk to pa about it."
That night she did talk. though with
out any heart in it and was much re-
lieved when the husband turned to
her and said:
"Mary. it would be like flynn in the
face of the Lord, and | wouldn't think
of such Il thing
He had to think, however. The agent
came back again and again. and at
length his pcrSiStcncy received its re-
ward After much doubt and hCsita
ton policy was duly taken out and
filed away in the bottom drawer of the
bureau and the serpent had inflicted
it's sting. That afternoon as the hus'
band followed the plow in the field he
found himself wondering whether he
or his wife would die first and whether
it would be good policy for him to
build Il new barn out of that insurance
money in case he was the survivor
And the wife, as she sat pccling pOta-
toes for supper and opening the oven
door now and then to look at the bak
ing bread. found herself wondering
what she should do with the farm and
al! that money in case Jacob met his
death. Two or three days later wind

lie was speaking in levity, but he
sowed a seed On that same day the
wife of ncighbOr dropped in for
gossip. and of course she was told
about the insurance policy. 1t struck
her at first as n good thing. but two
minutes later she held up her hands
and exclaimed:
"Mary Fletcher. do you know what
you have done? You have prepared
your own gravel"

"Yes, you have. There isn't a hus-
band on the face of the earth who
wouldn't throw his wife down the eel

Danger to Health In school.

Many people who are scrupulously
careful of the health of their children
in the home are strangely Indifferent to
the conditions prevailing in the school,
says Youths Companion. Hygiene in
the public schools is n subject that is
yearly receiving more and more atten-
tion, with the result that new school
buildings In the larger towns and the
cities conform generally to sanitary
standards. but this is not true of many
Of the old buildings and of many
schOolhouses In small places. 1t is the
duty Of all parents to know how far
they fall short and why and what is
needed to make them healthy.

would surely marry again. She'd have

1t with liberal hand, and along would

She might possibly erect fifteen dol

wouldn't 20 dollar higher, and the

of being preserved and wept over.
Thoughts as hard and bitter passed
through the mind Of the wife. Jacob

there had never been 5000 at stake

FALLS FLORAL TROPHIES.

The tulip blooms in springtime,
The rose in summer comes,
But autumn is the season
That brings chrysanthcmums,
The fluffy headed beauties
That on their long stalks sway
And vclvctlikc their petals
In which the colors play.
Brown, purple, pink and yellow,
Red, white and loyal blue,
In every shade Of color
And every tint and hue
They stand in floral splcndor,
All rivals far above,
For ON them has been laNiShcd
The wealth of natures love.
They're lacking in the fragrance
That ncstlcs in the rose;
They lack the dew that gliStcns
When morning sunshine Gluws;
But whether maSScd or Siugly
They CLEAN in glory rare,
The floral queens Of beauty
With statclncss OF air.
And proudly they are posing
Before admrinG thrungs
As though they knew that tribute
OF praise to them belongs,
And there are ordinations
OF wonder and delight
From all who see these flowers
Arrayed in colors bright.
The tulips and the roses
Are but a memory now;
We hail later beauty,
And at her shrine we bow,
For when all other flowers
To age and cold succumb
We joyfully are greeting
The grand chrysanth thcmum.
