City's Good Investment.

Father Knickerbocker has been very
successful with all his real estate ven
lures, but never more so than in the
case of Central park. Less than half

was waste of rocks and swamps. The

amount of $4,000, 900 for the acquisition
OF the land. Bonds TO the amount OF
x2, 100000 were issued at the same time
for the improvement OF the Central
park. AS this improvement progressed
other bonds for sl,725. 900, known as
Central park bonds" were issued, and
still more were sold for the building Of
the arsenal in the Central park and
for the reservoir there, bringing up
the total amount of cost to the city of
the Central park to s12,5o0, 900. This
was the first cost" states the Sun,
ano an additional sum of $1,000. 900 has
been expended for construction and
Improvement of the Metropolitan Mu-
scum OF Art, the One Hundred and
Tenth street and Eighth avenue en-
trance and sundry park buildings. In
ell Sl5.00o,oo0 has been expended by
the people of New York for the acqui.

Faithful Docs.

The faithfulness of the dog Is we'll
known, though not appreciated as it
should be. Perhaps most faithful Of
all the species is the Eskimo dog.
We learn the following about this
animal from the writings of Frederick
Schwatka, who made a wonderful trip
on a sledge from Hudson Bay to the
Arctic Ocean. The sledges were. drawn
by the dogs, and he started out with
sixty of them, returning with only
nineteen, all the rest dying of starva.
ton en- route
Says Schwatka:
"They were through all this terri
BILE time, perfect respecters Of their
human allies. and the little children
used to go among them and play
with them by pelting them with toy
whips; yet the same dogs we're starv-
ing, and should one of them die, his
comrades would eat him. / notice this
particularly, as some sensational writ.
ers have tried to make their readers
believe that the Eskimo dogs are IL
able to become dangerous fellows,
even to powerfully built man, when
simply hungry, and to be worse than
wild beasts when ravenous. ANY on.
slaught of Eskimo dogs is unknown
among the natives where travelled.
1T was pitiable in the extreme to
see their sufferings, as they devotedly
helped us along-many Of them up to
the very minute they had to be taken
from the harness and abandoned along
the road. AS they dropped ont along
the way. we harnessed ourselves in
their places to the sledge traces, and
II was thus we we're not compelled to
leave certain parts Of our load"

For most men this would have been

of his own philosophy. Yet this was
not ALL nor was the total so easily
to be explained away.
Steadily, and with an insistence
somewhat horrible, there came TO
Franklin's mind a feeling that this
career which he saw before him would
not always serve to satisfy him. Losing
no touch of the democratic loyalty to
his fellowmen. he none the less clear
ly saw himself in certain ways be-
coming inexorably separated from his
average fellow-man. The executive
instinct was still as strong within him,

splendid condition, and the prospect,

excellent. Plums, should every indi-

Inspection of the orchards over a wide

the branches by the shock which pros

Its violence was greatest. 1t is yet too
early to make observations on the fu-
ture of the grape crop. 1t is invariably
the rule in European countries that
"aR earthquake year always assures a
full vineyard" and II the rule proves
good in California, the grape crop OF
the present year should prove phe-
nomenal one. A competent authority
estimates the quantity of wine con-
Kumed in the late San Francisco fire az
exceeding 2o,000,0o0 gallons, or nearly

old, high-quality wines; therefore
there will be demand for every gallon
which the vineyards can produce. The
excellent prospect in every agricultural
product is distinctly encouraging TO

One morning the sur rose with q
swift bound into cloudless field. The
air was mild, dead absolutely silent
and motionless. The wires along the
railway alone sang loudly, as though
in warning-a warning unfounded and
without apparent cause. Yet the sigh

the still air the smokes of the town
rose directly upright; and answering
to them faint, thin spires rose here
and there far out over the prairies, all
straight, answering, ominous, ter

calm, a pause upon all things. The
sky was blue and cloudless, but at
last it could not conceal the mockery
it bore upon its face, so that when
men looked at it and listened to the
singing OF the wires they stopped, and
without conscious plan hurried on,

and smoked, and women darned, and
babes played. In thousand homes
