The. international Sunshine society
has been offered a home in Saratoga
Springs as Sunshine Rest home. This
beautiful piece. Of property has large
house completely furnished, even to a
]. piano. The ladies who own this place
offer it to. Sunshine for 100000 and the
land alone isvalued at more than this.
If easy payments can be arranged Tor,
perhaps the home will be secured. Mrs.
Alden is anxious to secure just such a
piece Of property, SO school teachers,
aged. women, any women, in fact, who
need rest may go there.
Miss Emma J. Lockett, Of Kansas
City, Mo, has made an offer to donate
a large plot Of eighty acres of land in
Ozark county, if the sunshiners Of Mis-.
souri, and other states will help found
a Sunshine Fresh Air home or Rest
home for girls there. She is SO en-.
thusiastic over this project that she has
announced further gift Of eighty
acres on some property adjoining it i

More Clothing Needed.

shines store was nearly all given away;
besides, the society never keeps much

it among the needy at once.
Sunshine does not charge the poor for
old clothing, but is glad to give it
wherever deserving and needy. A box

JANITORS MANUFACTURE
INK FOR CITY SCHOOLS
Writing Fluid Once Bought by Quarts
Now Made by Barrels.

Twenty-Five years ago the board of
education bought two barrels OF ink
year for the use Of the public schools;
last year the board provided fifteen
barrels. It is doubtful, however,
whether all the ink used last year cost
any more than the two barrels pur-
chased twenty-five years ago.
a A quarter Of q century ago ink was
purchased by the quart bottle-and paid
for accordingly but now ink is made by
the janitors.
3 The board purchases seventy five
pounds of ink powder in one-pound
cans. When ink is needed, a. can Of
powder is dissolved in ten gallons Of
water and satisfactory ink is pro-
duced. b
A pound Of powder costs about so
cents, which reduces the cost Of gallon
Of ink to about 8 cents. The total ink
bill is less than $40 year for-more
than 100000 pupils.

PARK SUPERINTENDENT
FAVORS LAKE CANALS
idea Of Interlachen Boat Course Ap.
peals to New Official.

Idea OF lnterlachen Boat Course Ap-
peals to New Official.
Hearty Endorsement is given by Theo
dore Wirth, superintendent Of parks, to
the oft-discussed plan of connecting the
park lakes by water courses Of sutfi-
cient size to float power launches. Nat
urally he has had no time to give the
matter particular attention or to study
any Of the proposed suggestions and
his Endorsement is simply on the general
proposition.
A waterway connecting Lake Of the
isles, Calhoun and Harriet, and even
Cedar lake, would greatly enhance the
popularity Of the park lakes. and in
crease their attractiveness. Neither Of
the lakes is large enough to encourage
the residents along their shores to in
vest IN launches as the length of the
cruise is far too limited to secure much
enjoyment out Of it, but with four lakes
Joined into one long chain the oppor7
tunities for boating and cruising are in
creased fvefold at least.
ssThis work should not be under
taken,0 said Mr.. Wirth, ssuntn it can
| be done properly. The canals con-
meeting the lakes should not be mere
straight bitches dredged thruNat the
narrowest place, but should be artistic
ally laid out; in a winding course SO as
to suggest as much as possible 9 natural
watercourse or creek. The banks
should be carefully prepared with this
, effect in. view. IF carried out, in this
manner the plan is a praiseworthy one
and should be done. as soon as means
1 will permit.
/ It is a problem and will need some
scareful study before any plans can be
! made. AS / understand it, Lake Cal
houn and Lake Of the Isles are on
practically the same level, while Lake
Harriet is somewhat lower and Cedar
lake somewhat higher. These condi.
tions make it necessary to provide locks
or some method Of raising the boats
from one level to another. That is the
feature requiring the greatest atten
tion. .s# s#

which most Of the animals are located, |
is about seventy Ave feet in length,
and some forty in width. At the far I
end, cages occupy the entire wall, piled |
upon each other in tiers like SO many |
cases Of eggs
Thsse cages are about four feet In
width, four feet in height and three
feet in depth. At this end Of the room
are four coyotes, two prairie wolves,
three coons, two red foxes, badger and
other ,smal animals The wolves and
coyotes have little more than room to
turn around in their respective small
quarters
swans Take Tub Baths.
In pens covered with wire netting are
twenty-five swans and ten wild geese.
Jars Of water are kept within the pens
for the birds, and occasionally james
Lynch, the. caretaker, adds bathtub
filledswith water This is great treat
for the birds. It's taste of what they
should have right along, and they fully
appreciate it, Tapping around in the
tub, as many as can get in at a time.
There are also several monkeys in
small cages, big ape in q cage too
small to permit him to stand up his full
height, and the mountain lion; in the
iron barred box in which he is confined
when located at Minnehaha. In pens
covered over with other cages are prai-
rie dogs and rabbits.
Another room, a smaller and darker
apartment, contains the wire netting
cages in which are kept the owls and
eagles. In one corner of this apartment.
is "Tom, = the big timber wolf. Tom
is in cage some five feet long, three
feet deep and four feet high. There is
hardly room in it for his wolfship COM
fortably to turn around. It is little
wonder that he is cross and groWls
when anyone comes near, tho his tail
wags vigorously when Caretaker Lynch
gingerly reaches thru the bars and
scratches his head.
At Mercy Of Fire.
| IF "a fire ever starts in the big barn
it is probable that it will quickly be
call up" with every one Of the ami
mails. The structure is infammable to
the highest degree, every portion Of it
being frame and sawdust being thickly
scattered around for sanitary purposes.
The entrance to the animal apartment
is thru narrow barndoor, and to carry
the cages out on a hurry up' call
would be almost impossible.
Another feature of the conditions
which seems unsafe is that none of the
cages is fastened with lock. The
sliding, barred doors simply fasten shut
with hasps which have not even the ad
ditional security Of staples. There are
no ratings in front Of the cages, and
If some one Of a crowd Of careless Sun
day visitors should slip up hasp, an
animal might be turned loose in mo
ment.

Of their cages loose is acknowledged by
the caretaker.

WOMEN WHO WORK FOR WAGES.
Are They lniuring Their Chances or
 Marriage by Going Into Business?

No one will marry you. my dears, " says the aIarminst to the young women of business. If they are young enough, they answer, in their hearts, Non sense"-whatever their lips may say; as they grow older the inner repudi ation may become tempered with a faint doubt. It is certainly true that the modern man-of the educated World-marries less early and often than did his grandfather. and any grandmother can give you the cason. living in spite of the turn given by sport to energies that once knew no outlet but love making, and in spite of the comforts of clubs and bachelor apart ments, still many men do marry. I wish I could say that the modern pref erence is clearly for the alert, self helpful woman Of affairs. the girl who has mastered a profession or the one whose trained mind can put through a real estate transfer or q deal in May wheat; in time l believe that this may he true; but as yet, limited personal experience says otherwise. We have travelled a long way since the odious Dr. Maginn made his sneering com ment. We like to hear q few words of sense from a woman as we do from a parrot because they are so unex- pected"; but the level head is still out rivaled by the curly head, whether we like the admission or not. Statistics may prove the contrary; but it has seemed to me that the women who work and who are thrown with men in daily practical contact are less apt to marry than those who meet men only by lamp and candle light. Vanity suggests that this is the woman's
 
 lieve that nearly all single women past thirty, no matter how brilliantly sue cessful their lives may be, are secretly crying in the wilderness they want love and children. and the want can not be stilled or satisfied with anything else.
 To the frank this would seem like an argument for it so vastly greater that it overwhelms this-which is, after aIl only a general tendency and need not apply to the particular case. Cn the other side lies the splendid fact that the woman with a trade of her own does not need to marry. She may wait until love comes. with no anxious thought of chances no compromise with her heart or head: she may keep the door open for the best thing of all. instead Of shutting it on a possible half best. If she misses altogether, she is not an economic hanger-On, a maiden aunt to be passed about among relatives; but an independent factor in the worlds processes. When hope goes. she still has dignity and a pur- pose; she still has her independent personal importance. Whatever the risk, the sum of the argument is all on the side of work
 It will make all the difference in the world to you whether you are with people who are watching for ability in you, people who believe in. encourage and praise you, or whether you are with those who are forever breaking 2 your idols, blasting your hopes and throwing cold water on your aspira- tions.-Success Magazine.

SPOILED THE BINDING.

M Rostand the French poet and dramatist. is an ardent collector or books and an especial lover of rich bindings. He recently gave Chopin's "BaHades ct Nocturnes' to his binder, with instructions to lavish upon them all the resources Of his craft. The bind ing was a thing of beauty, and might have been a joy forever, but for one drawback. When it came to stamping the title on the binding in gold the craftsman paused.
