TO speak UP for Mr.. Jerome.
There is no kind of writer whom the

few who enjoy its favor. the reason is
that real humorlsts are rare birds in

these, none is more generously gifted
than Mr.. Jerome, who is called the High

Colonel Cutshaw suggested that the fair
committee get a copy of the pamphlet is
sued by the city engineer for 1904 and
entitled Trees of the CITY, In which is
shown the parking plan and number OF
trees planted. He further said. II am
striving to have these 800 acres added to
Reservoir Park. Our park plans are all
made out. and have been building for
several years beautiful lake. covering
fifty acres. The dam is almost COM
Ipleted now. and we have site reservp1
for a green house which will cost at least
$4,000. In this VIC will raise flowers with
which TIC ornament the city parks each
spring. Our tree plan has been COM
mented on by many cities-by the author

their elegant Prospect Park.
Say More Later,
IT shall have something more to say
on this subject when 1 am called before
the committee" added the city engineer,
SHOULD such a proposition ever receive
serious consideration
1t is not seriously thought that the city
nursery site will be chosen. a great deal
of opposition to this course has developed
other than that suggested by the city en-
gineer. and 1t is quite likely that no
more will be heard of the matter
The site now most talked Of Is that
property known as the Deep Run Hunt
Club tract, running from Acca Station.
on the Richmond Fredericksburg and
Potomac Rsvlroad, to the Hill monument,
on the Hermitage road.
The committee will hold meeting some
time next week to settle the question

Richmond TOW has few enough parks,

stiIt Marl,s on China.

Hunting for silt marks on old china
is often good fun in itself. Almost ev-
cry old piece of flatware-i. e., plates.
platters, saucers, etc.-shows three lit
tie rough spots more or less clearly
marked on both sides, usually on the
margin. These spots were made in the
firing by the cockspur of stills, the lit
tie tripods used between the plates in
pillng them up in the kiln. The three
points where the cockspur touched the
plate caused defect in the glaze. I'M
fortunately silt marks are not as sure
a guarantee of authenticity as some
collectors have supposed, for they are
not only easy to initiate, but they are
sometimes imperceptible on the old
Staffordshire. Furthermore, they APP
pear very frequently on modern table

Beauty of Clouds.

1t is not of first sight easy to say
why people so rarely give more than
a passing glance to the realm of air
above them. Is it because we cannot
have finger in this department Of

label anything in those blue fields, pin
it down ON cork or fatten it in Canada
balsam; cannot here annihilate dis
lance with our ingenious instruments,
that we neglect the phenomena of the
sky? There above us, always ours for
lift of the eyes, is beauty in endless
change for the contented mind and for
the restless one the challenge Of the
ceaseless thaumaturgy which seems
little nearer being found out than
when the world began, and yet in COM

are offered by cuckoo's eggs or the

A BRAKE ON SUCCESS.
The Habit of Making Excuses VIII
Retard Any Mans Career.

Good excuses have kept back many
a man from realizing Il prosperous ca
reer. Once you get the excuse making
habit formed you might as well have Il
ball and chain attached to your neck
so far as your prospects for rising to
the top are concerned.
There are two kinds Of excuses which
keep a clerk in the business void oc-
cupying a clerks position when he -
capable (has 1t in HIM to be something
better If he only would The first Glass
Of excuses are the ones he makes to
himself. These are often rs enervat-
ing, subtle and death dealing as the
nasty cigarette.
A clerk sees a piece of work which
he knows ought to be done today. He
knows that the best interests of the
business require that this work should
not be put off until tomorrow. But he
has not yet reached a point where he
realizes that his employers interests
are identical with his own, and per-
haps he was out late last night and
feels a lack of ambition today. So he
on the ground that "the boss" didn't
tell him to do it today. After soothing
his conscience with this specious men,
tai dope he puts in his spare time read
ing about the way Slobett knocked out
Casey in twenty-One rounds. Several
days later when sthe neglected work
comes under the eye of "the boss" our
clerk is asked why he did not do it,
and he then repeats his stereotyped
excuse that he wasn't "told' to do it.
For such one the gateway to success
is always barred.
This brings us to the second kind OF
excuse, that made to ones employer.
OF the two this latter kind of excuse is
the less injurious to the clerks chance
of advancement. When he excuses
himself from doing obviously impor-
tant work he instills into his own
mind a subtle mental poison, a don't
care-a-hang essence that breeds lack of
backbone, lack Of concentration, lack of
continuity and application. He weak
ems and incapacitates himself far more
when he excuses himself to himself be-
cause he will then often allow his mind
to dwell on excuses SO weak that he
would never dream Of giving them
verbal utterance in the presence Of his
employer
And when he has once set the men
tai habit Of excusing himself he goes
on and on binding the letters which
will forever hold him back from any
rise. 1t is now only short step to
finding good excuses for not doing
what he has been told to do. Then
little further along on the same line it
will be strange indeed If he does not
land himself on the boot toe that ele-
Yates the incompetent and deposits

weighing Common Ar.

The weight Of air has often been
tested by COMPRISING it in receptacles
by the air pump. That it really has
weight when so compressed is shown
by the fact that the weight of the YES
sells Is increased slightly by filling
them with compressed air and that
such vessels become specifically eight
err as soon as the air contained in
them Is exhausted. Many elaborate
experiments on the weight Of air have
proved that the cubic foot weighs 536
grains, or something less than one and
quarter ounces. The above expert
ment on the weight of air is supposed
to be made at the surface of the earth
with the temperature at so degrees f..
Heated air or air at high elevations is
much lighter.
