GAMES IN CITY PARKS.

Even more remarkable than the
 growth of popular interest in sports in the larger parks has been the develop
 n2ent in the last three or four years of scientifically arranged and constructed
 playgrounds for the poor children of the tenement house neighborhoods in certain of the smaller parks of the city. Here the municipality fosters games and sports of various kinds by provid- ing not only the grounds with suitable fixtures and equipments, but also the
 individual implements necessary, such as balls of all kinds, bats, dumb-bells,
 Indian clubs, and even tennis racquets;
 and furthermore, it employs corps of Instructors to teach the children how to play the various games and how to
 get the most good out of their exercise. < There are eleven of these especially
 equipped playgrounnds now in opera s tion in Manhattan borough, and four in
 Brooklyn, besides the two big outdoor
 gymnasia and athletic fields at Ma ! combs Dam park. and Pelham Bay park in the Bronx. They are doing @

In the most scientific contests one sees a player plunge into a group of dozen others and there disappear; that is all there is to seventy-flve per cent. of the formations in the modern game.'

Oh. antoher man with the wind knocked out of him, or, it may be, he is shamming, for his team needs a breathing spell If you have kept tally on time called, you will find there has been more wait than game.

PRODUCTIONS, OF STUPIDITY

Any dearth of ability from which the civilized world may be suffering, says Sir J. Crichton Browne, is to be ascribed not so much to the infertility of the cultivated classes as to the articficial production of stupidity in various ways, and to the incessant draining from the country-whfch is the fit and proper breeding place and rearing ground of intellect-of the best elements of the people, to be swallow ed up or deteriorated in the big towns. The idea that the agricultural laborer is set apart from his followers by dull ness of intellect is as untenable as the belief that the city urchin is clever and better endowed mentally than the

little yokel. The rule seems to be that the mental development of children is hastened by city life, but soon stops short. Up till 13 or IA years of age they are precocious, and then come to a standstill. City life at it's best is best is bad for children, involving as it does early puberty, axciting distraction, superficiality of knowledge, insufficient rest and the want of soothing infiuen- ces which the country affords. At it's worst, with tight squeezing in squalid tenements, poor food, foul air, con- stant contact with vice, and manifold temptations, it is drying up the re- servoirs of strength in the population and leaving the immense proletarit of inferior quality.-Kansas City Journal.

Plea for More Men for the Lana and More

Thomas Cochran, veteran of the st.
Paul fraternity. The Minnesota legis
lature, he declared, was sitting unin
terested, turning down every proposal
to bring people to the state, saying
there were enough here now. He said:
'The three cities represented here
tonight, Duluth, Minneapolis and St.
Paul, compose population equal to one
fourth the total population of the state
of Minnesota. That state ranks ahead
of the world in the manufacture of -four
and in the production of iron ore. She
ranks sixth in the manufacture of but
tel: and cheese, ninth in the printing
industry in the United States. tenth in
the. boot and shoe industry: She has a
capital of $38 100000 invested in manu-
FACTORIES yielding an annual profit Of
$40S, 900 and employing lis, 5000 men.
Duluth is a maritime port ranking the
fifth in the whole world. Minnesota
is the empire state Of the northwest and
has the three most beautiful cities in
the whole world, yet the central part of
those three cities are each filed UP with
unattractive buildings or are bare of
buildings, while men who have made
their fortunes in Minnesota sit by I'M
willing to take advantage of the ex-
cellent opportunities of Investment.
So 1t is our business to change this con-
dition. 1t is the duty of every good cit
lzen to first invest his money in paying
local projects so far as he can find
them. After he has done this he NAV
look for foreign investments. It is for
us to show, these capitalists wherein the

Typical English Cottage
HARRY w. JONES,
Architect. 916 Lumber EXCHANGE.


One Of the most attractive small
houses planned for erection this spring
is this brick and plaster English cottage
which with it's oldfashioned flower
garden, and window boxes, will
be picturesque spot near Lake of the
Isles. Its cost will be 900. 1t embod-
les the taste of woman who has made
a study of English cottage architecture,
who has planned the details of it's finish
ings and furnishings with a special view
to atfording harmonious setting for
her interesting collections of old metal,
pottery and antique furniture.
The lower story to the level of the
high windows is of red brick topped
with water table of cream stone.
Above, the rough, cream-c olored plas
ter is panelled with Van DYKE brown
wood. The doors and the window cas-
ings are to be stained a soft moss green
and the low roof is to be stained red.
The interior finishings are to be severely
plain and rather rough in effect All of
the ceilings Of the lower floor are to
wainscoting and fnishings to MATCH The
dining-room wainscoting will be of ir-
regular height to accommodate various
decorative features, and will have.a
plate rail only at intervals.
The hall and library are but slightly
separated from the living room. A dis
tinguishing feature of this room is the
high curb Of the fireplace, taking the
place Of the fender and serving as Sc
cure seat if one wanted to huddle near
the fire. A settle is built at one side
and the curving corner window has a
seat below it. The number of built-in
seats is many and made possible by the
high easement windows -
The side French windows of the din
Ing room open on a screened porch or
loggia, that is to be glazed for winter
use. This has a brick floor, as has the
front vestibule in which there is bench
|seat. Convenience has been planned for
as well as quaint and artistic effects.
The kitchen has a hinged shelf under
window and in the pantry marble slab
will facilitate various culinary opera
lions. This room will be in white with
some kind of enameled finish that can
be readily kept sweet and clean.
The color scheme of the lower floor is
yellow and will be on the rough plaster.
The upper rooms will be papered to per-
nit a variety of pretty and distinct dec
orative effects. All of the rooms are of
generous size, with ample closet ROOM

Useful Home-Making Hints

A Chinese hour-glass chair is favor
lite in the studios of artists and often
appears in illustrations of attractive
rooms. To be quite comfortable this
chair should have loose cushion in the
back and thin pad on the seat.
Modern potteries, such as the Grue-
by, lockwood, Poillon, Merrimac, New
comb, Van Briggle, ETC., have made a
valuable contribution to indoor garden
effects by designing artistic " {, TO
hold bay, box and rubber trees.
The conventional supply of chairs for
the bedroom is a side chair and a rock
er: but, ,disregarding this rule, one may
select for, personal comfort a high
backed willow chair, Morris reading
chair, low slipper chair, or "sleepy
hollow armchair.
The Sheraton and Heppelwhite mod
els are we'll suited for chairs for the
parlor or reception room. Small Shera-
ton sofas are also in keeping with the
formal appearance of these rooms. For
the drawingroom, the Louis XVI. fur
nltture, when, carried out with the origi
nal purity Of design, is happy choice.
There are two ways to protect ma
hogany table from being injured by
hot dishes. One is to lay thick can
ton flannel that is especially made for
this purpose and sold by the yard; the
other is to use an asbestos pad that fits
the top of the table. If plate doilies
are used at breakfast or luncheon with
out a cloth, some asbestos mats should
be slipped under them.
Hardware is one of the lesser details
which has but lately attracted atten-
ton, altho every one should know that
it is one of the surest indications of a
good house. just as mans shoes
would seem to the uninitiate as a min
or detail of his costume; and one to be
is carelessly left to chance and shoddv.
f1imsy design often used in otherwise
very presentable houses.
