More parks about a block square arc
needed in the crowded lower east side
and In the middle east side. in the es-
timation of Mr.. Pallas. He is in favor
of clearing open places in the most
disreputable sections. considering the
placing OF opportunity for recreation
and sunlight within easy reach of those
who need it most to be more efica-
cious and economical than increase in
police protection.
To Provide More Fairgrounds.
Although Central Park is magnificent
in its way, Mr.. Pallas sees much room
for improvement. He intends to do
away with complaints that the ponds
in the park are breeders OF malarial
diseases In summer. 1t is his intention
to make the park, IL possible, a place
that New Workers will feel that they
own. rather than that they are allowed
to walk through on sufferance. He
believes in the opening of more grass
plots to children and the establishment
Of more Fairgrounds.
The project OF making a great seaside
park system on Staten Island has the
Endorsement OF Mr.. Pallas. The prop
erty necessary to the accomplishment of
the scheme can be secured now for a
tithe OF what will be demanded for 1t In
a few years. With up-to-date ferry SER
vice, and eventually tunnel connection
destined to be one OF the most popular
parts Of the greater city. Mr.. Pallas be-

Pastor Resigns.

At the regular morning service of the
Universalist church, on Sunday last
Rev. Dwight A. Ball read his resig-
nation which named October 18th as the
date when his pastorate should cease.
The announcement came as a complete
surprise to everyone and feeling Of re-
greet is universal throughout the society.
His parishioners appreciate that Mr.. Ball
has labored very conscientiously and they
had hoped that he could remain with
them for long pastorate. A meeting
of the parish will be called at an early
date to formally receive and act upon
the resignation thus rendered.
Mr.. Ball came here from Bellows
Falls, Vt. in D 'cember, 1902. He has
taken a lively interest in all matters that
pertaned to the welfare of the town
and has won the respect of the entire
community.

Damage Suit

Miss Lillian Copp has brought suit for

with the results above mentioned. Miss
Copp is we'll known here in this, her
home town, and the suit will arouse no
little interest. The case will be entered
for trial at the September term of the s..
j. Court.

disgrace Of civilization that the num-
tcr Of deaths Of children under s
years Of age was out Of all proper
ton TO the progress of the race. Last
year this proportion was greatly re-
duced in Chicago, New York and Lon
don. not to mention cities Of lesser
size. and it is one Of the most hope
ful signs Of the times.
Aside from any human and humane
sentiments. the enormous waste to q
country where years are spent in rear
ing and caring for children only to
have them die before making the
slightest economic return is incalcu-
liable.
Anything, then. which tends to in
crease health and longevity is of vast
u more Importance than large birth
rate merely. The latter alone may
mean the poverty and weakness of q
country. The former is the real
strength Of a nation.-Los Angeles

Value of Appreciation.

Many men and women underesti-
mate the value of expression; they
take too many things for granted;
they assume that their affection, or
their gratitude. or their sense of OBJ
legation, is understood without words.
Such people are often surrounded by
those who are craving some express
sion of affection, some word of ap-
proval, some kind Of recognition. The
best work is sometimes done with shut
teeth and a fixed purpose, in dead ST.
lence, so far as the world is con-
cerned, without a murmur Of applause
or a word of thanks; but this is not
the way in which work ought to be
done among Intelligent men and wo-
men, and it is not the way in which,
as a rule, the best work is evoked
from the greatest number Of people.
The majority of men and women get
the best out of themselves when they
are in congenial atmosphere. This
is particularly true Of those finer kinds
of work which express individuality,
quality and personal gift.-St. Louis
Republic.

Followed Directions.

A gentleman engaged man to act
in the capacity of coachman and gar
dener. One day he bought bottle Of
horse liniment and told the man to ap-
ply it to a lame horse according to the
directions on the bottle. About an hour
afterwards he went to the stable and
found the man industriously dipping a
spike into the nniment and then rub
bing it against the horses leg.
"What are you doing that for?'' he
asked.
The man looked up with smile Of
assurance.
because" said he, "'twas what it
said in the directions on the bottle; but
it's slow work"
"You must have made a mistake" :"
said the gentleman.
"I have not" answered the man, in
an aggrieved tone. ''1t says here on
the bottle, Apply with large nail or
tooth brush,' and, as l had no tooth
brush, I thought I'd better use this
sDike"

HEALTH AND LONGER LIFE
The Falling Birth Rate Is Offset +
the Gain in Health

The Falling Birth Rate Is Offset by
the Gain in Health.
While statistics of this country and
of most of the countries of Europe re-
port a falling off in the birth rate,
there is marked improvement in the
health rate and in longevity. Beyond
question, in spite of much that seems
to initiate against progress in this di-
rection, other factors are at work
which more than balance certain bane-
full influences Of the times.
Athletics deserve no small credit for
the new life in the community. Ath-
letics may be shortliyed, but their in
f1uence in the country has been to
raise the standard of health and
strength and to promote the temper
ance and self-control which tend to
longer life. Much is due to medical
discoveries and to better knowledge
of sanitary conditions. Although the
germ theory of disease has been acted
upon scarcely more, than twenty years,
the results are beyond calculation,
both in saving life and warding off
sickness.
Perhaps the best showing in the di-
rectfon of health is the great decrease
in infant mortality. It has been the

Brains and Money.

Francis. .Bellamy, in magazine ar
ticle, declines to indorse the view that
"while brains may be more important
than money, the best way to convince
the world that you have brains is to-
make money" This idea was enun-
ciated some months ago by a distin-
guished lawyer, but Mr.. Bellamy
points out that there has always been
select few who put brains ahead
of money. For instance, there was
Agassiz, who refused to lecture at $500
a night because he was too busy to
make money. Charles Sumner declin-
ed to lecture at any price because, he
said, as Senator all his time belonged
to Massachusetts,. Spurgeon refused
to come to America to- deliver fifty
lectures at $1,000 a night, saying he
could do better-he could stay in Lon
don and try to save fifty souls. Emer-
son steadfastly declined to increase
his income beyond 1,20O because he
wanted his time to think.

Painting on Cobwebs.

Through the New York postof1ce, the
other day, came package of some
size, which, on being opened by the
customs officers in the presence of the
person addressed, was found to con-
tain picture set in frame and
painted on a spiders web. 1t came
from Norway, where, as was ascer-
tained, this peculiar art of making pic
lures on cobwebs is understood by a
few individuals who enjoy monopoly
of it. The webs employed, which are
of remarkably dense weave, occur
only in few localities difficult of ac-
cess, and the supply of them is very
limited.
Presumably the arachnid that spins
them is a species Of ground spider.
There are plenty OF ground spiders in
this country, of course, and on any
dewy morning early one may observe
their webs spread here and there like
tiny blankets on the grass. These
webs are of different construction from
ordinary "aeriaP' cobwebs, and dense
" woven, but one would not like to
try to paint pictures on them.
Spider silk is the finest and most
beautiful in the world. and exquisite
fabrics have been spun from it. There
was a handkerchief made Of it while
ago in the museum of the Department
of Agriculture at Washington, but it
has disappeared. Unfortunately the
material cannot be obtained in large
quantities, because spiders, when kept
together in numbers (as has been found
by triaD eat each other up. So, pretty
soon, instead Of colony Of spiders,
there is only one large, fat arichnid
left.-New York Post.
