HOW NEW YORK
OUTGROWS ITSELF
ssls,sls.,ooa see ee sese . 3


New York no sooner completes
some municipal improvement than it
finds it has outgrown it even before it
has been put to use. This is particu-
larly true of rapid transit and the
water supply.
The remnants of some twenty-one
millions of dollars are now being
spent to finish the new water system,
which includes the famous Croton
Dam, the largest of its kind in the
world; the gigantic Jerome Park
Reservoir, for which the three hun
dred acres of land cost $3,5oo,ooo; the
Muscott Dam, fourteen miles above
the Croton Dam and dwarf in COM
parison, and the various highways and
a score or more of bridges in the
watershed, the ten thousand acres of
which, purchased at a cost of about
two and half millions, have been
cleared of scores of villages and hun
dreds of farm buildings, and now ONLY
hold the contractors buildings, which
will be burned shortly
The two big items in this improve
ment have, of course, been the Croton
Dam and the Jerome Park Reservoir.
Each stands to cost some seven
millions
But despite the immensely of this
work the city realizes that another
additional source of water supply is
already highly necessary, and it is
casting around for new region to
tap for other millions of gallons of
water at a cost various1y set down all
the way from $5o,ooo,ooo to over twice
that amount

Democratic Education of England's
Princes.


Prince Edward of Wales, the eldest
grandson and heir presumptive of
King Edward, is going, at the end of
the summer vacation, to boarding
school at Westgate-on-Sea, a seaside
resort in Kent
He is ten years old, but has not yet
gone to, school. He is wel1-educated
for his age, however, having had sew
eral private tutors. In company with
his brother, Prince Albert, lad Of
nine, he recently commenced his first
course in drill at Windsor Castle.
The Prince of Wales has decided
that both his sons shall have the or
binary education Of English boys of
good family instead of being trained,
as most European princes are, by t,i-
tors and governors. After they have
finished their preparatory school
course they will go to Eton.
Prince Edward, who is to be sol
der, will probably take course at the
military academy at Sandhurst after
graduating from Oxford University,
as King Edward did. Prince Albert is
destined for the Royal Navy. like his
father, and, will go from Elton to the
"Britannia' training ship.
Throughout their education the
young princes will be treated exactly
like their school fellows and brother
cadets, and will be on complete So
cial equality with them.
This was the case with their father
and his brother, the late Duke of Clar-
ence, especially when they were on
the Britannia" There are plenty Of
officers in the British Navy to-day
who boast that they punched the
Prince of Wales head when they were
on the training ship with him.

AS Others See Us.

Queer ideas about America are still
cherished in England. In a recent
speech Lord Lamington said
In America, if not to-day at any
rate till quite recently, a revolver or a
bowie knife was an essential part of
a mans everyday attire
Lord Lamington has held the inn
portant positions of Member of Par
lament, private secretary to the late
Lord Salisbury, and Governor of
Queensland, SO that he might really
be expected to know better.

Remarkable Cure Of Dropsy by Dodd's
Kidney Pills.

Sedgwick, Ark, July 1.-THE case Of W.

interested in medical matters as one of the
most wonderful on record. In this connec-
ton his father makes the following state

to such an extent that he could not walk

of the best in the country told me he would
not get better. ] stopped their medicine

SOME ODD OCCUPATIONS.
People il New York City Who Have
Queer Ways of Making
q Living.

People sitting around in the sunshine
of Battery park a few days ago were
astonfshed at the sight of a diver dis
appearing into the bay with a powerful
hose stream. This was something new
in the diving line, it seemed to them.
| Was the diver going to fight flames with
his hose at the bottom Of the bay?
Later, however, relates the New York
Times. they learned that the diver was
simply using the hose to force to the
surface certain jetsam that lad gone to
the bottom with a pier which collapsed
a few years ago. There was d horse and
cart down there. The diver did not want
the horse, but the ironwork of the cart,
and that of certain w~heelbarrows and
tools which had gone down was Of value.
This is only one Of the many queer
waysb by which enterprising people around
the Battery make a living. The park
there probably holds the record for queer
methods of maintaining the elusive in
come for which we are all fighting.
There is the nan who makes a business
of robbing people, but of course he is

watches in the summer months for peo-
pie to leave things on the benches, and
takes care that they are in his posses
sion before the rightful owners return.
But of course he is INSCRIPTIONS.
Then again there is the man who
makes a trip around the park every
morning picking up papers and rags and
fruit skins, all Of which he sells to paper
mills. Now and then this person picks
up a scarfpin, a airing, or something equal
ly valuable, which he sells in the Bow
cry.
But the queerest person to be seen
around the Battery park is the man
with the little dinner pail. He wears
very seedy clothes; he is gray-haired,
n the curiosity one feels over his gen.
eral appearance is further excited by
an old-fashioned pair Of spectacles that
forms the dividing line between his
shaggy eyebrows and his bushy beard.
He goes around eveY morning just
after daylight with his little dinner pail
picking up minute objects from the
grass. A young man who crosses the
park very early on his way to work saw
him engaged in this mysterious work
the other morning. The young mans
curiosity had been steadily growing for
two months.
Say, old man.. said he, "I'm very
curious to know what you do for a liv-
ing, working with that dinner pail in
The grass every morning?"
The old man smiled and took the lid
off the dinner pail. revealing a seething,
sQuirming mass of earthworms.
Many people have asked me the same
question, young man." said he, gravely.
II am under contract to supply worms
Tor the fish in the Aquarium over there.
That is how l make a living"

sUsPENDERs AND SUSPENSE
What Uncle Sam Needs the Former
For as Stated by a Hating
Speaker.

A certain congressman from a mountain
district, says the New York Sun, is trou-
bled with a weak, squeaky little >voice,
which sometimes fails in the midst OF
what might otherwise be an eloquent per-
grafton.
Recently in addressing the house on a
matter connected with tariff, he ex-
claimed:
Why, tariffs are like a pair Of suspen-
ders, sometimes tight and sometimes loose;
but Uncle Sam needs them just the same,
to keep up his
Here the congressman's voice struck a
high treble note, fared and stopped.
The house held its breath while he
cleared his throat. The suspense, which
seemed to last for fully a minute, was
more painful to the auditors than to the
orator, for everyone was wondering
whether he would say trousers" or
pants" and some were ever hoping that
he might say 'spantaloons.v Even Nover-
ais would be better than pants for
pants" is most supplementary.
But all fears were without foundation.
He cleared his throat with the greatest
care, and in a death-like stiffness esumed
his Grafton where he had dropped it: ito

& The words which followed were lost
forever in a gale Of laughter.

KINDNESS FOR HoODLUMs.
How the Children of the New York
Slums Are Looked After by
Settlement Workers,

The reform Of youthful hoodlums BY
other means than through the club o.
the policeman and the reformatory ha:
been undertaken by two New York or.
CARNATIONS recently. To transform
such youths into orderly young men is
the work which the West Side Neighbor.
hood house and the East Side house are
now attempting, reports the Sun of re
cent date.
The workers in these settlements are
generally men of tact and personal pop,
ularity. They investigate the gang
spirit thoroughly and learn its causes
and the means by which it can be trans
formed into something better. They
come into immediate contact with the
members of the local gangs and study
the mental and moral possibilities OF
each and in what way each member can
be influenced.
Most OF these gang youths live in tene-
ment houses Of the lowest order, with
an environment not calculated to
awaken their better nature. They either
congregate on street corners, in saloons
or at some other rendezvous; their
homes. such as they are, are merely re-
garded by them as temporary lodging
places.
n fortunate circumstance in the
work OF retaining these wild youths is
that the gangs each have an organiza-
ton with a recognized captain or lead
er, and by proper responsiveness and a
real kindly interest this form of organi-
zation can be turned from one of GRIM
inal p~ropensities into a ~law-abiding or
ganization, ambitious for decent devel-
opment. The members of the gangsh have
a deep loyalty to their leaders, whose in
fuence and example, one way or an
other, pervade the whole company.
The settlement workers visit the tene-
ment houses; interest themselves with
out any patronizlng airs in the personal
welfare CT each member; win over the
captain first, and after him his follow
Ing, and before the gangs are scarcely
aware Of the fact the organizations are
converted into orderly clubs.
Rival gangs which formerly fought
Hereby on the streets and assaulted one
another at the drop of a chance meet
Ing are brought together in the settle
ment houses and are influenced to forget
their animosities and their predatory
life and become merged in q harmonious
club.
The settlements give them the use of
g~ymnasiums and other beneficial and
elementary facilities. This transition is
not being accomplished suddenly. Its a
gradual process, and sometimes the
greatest difficulty is experienced, par
tcularly in effacing the spirit Of rivalry
among the more vicious.

HINDOOISM AND THE ZONE
Exposition in Brief of the Theory Of
Transmigration by One Of
the Swami.

As is we'll known, a great majority Of
Hindoos are firm believers in the trans
migration of the soul. The doctrine,
however, is but imperfectly understood
in Christian countries. Students of
philosophy, says the Chicago Chronicle,
will be glad of the explanation which a
Hindoo swami who signs himself
Amanda M" gives Of whattransmigra-
ton really signifies to the Buddhist.
Twenty-Five pages OF close reasoning
lead him to the conclusion which he
gives in the following paragraphs:
ITO live in love with all that lives,
not seeking or not earning for to-mor-
rows guerdon; to make Of his life an
oasis In the desert OF self-desire; to
strive ever, eyen here and now, after
true love and wisdom and the perfect
peace-this is for the Buddhist the SUI
preme ideal, the glory Of his dhamma
and the hope Of all his ways. All else
all thought of future gain on life for
self-is hutSa mockery and delusion. AS
something real true, as B%uddhaghosa
tells us, there rises in us the thought
4 am, I was, or I shall be. And II
Is all illusion, the dewdrop deeming
itself q permanent and separate entity,
though the waters which compose 1t
lay yesterday in the oceans depths and
with the dawning light will rise and
melt into the wandering airs.
