HALE FARE FOR SAILORS.
Practice of the English Boat and Rail
way Lines

The suggestion has been made to the
Navy Department that IL arrangements
could be made with the railroad companies
to carry the sailors of the navy at half
fare, or reduced ,ates, it would be of great
benefit to the ser<ice, and would cause the
enlistment of mere men from the inland
towns, who are r:ow compelled to pay the
full fare cut of thsr own pockets when they
wish to see their home folks. The sailors
of the British navy are permitted 10 travel
on the various boat and railway lines at
reduced rates. and it has been pointed out
to the department that an American blue
jacket, in uniform. will be transported for
half fare in England or the colonies.

COUNDS OF THE NIGHT
Opening of the Neighborhood Musical
Season for the Summer Of
1906.

WELL said Mr.. Elatdweller. summer
has come again, with the windows all open,
and once more do we listen to the familiar
sounds of the summers night.
-Onoe more we hear the alternately
yeafning and explosive playing OF the
man who is learning to play the cornet
And l can't say that l think he has learned
much through the winter.
He still sharps and fats in a frightful
manner. and he still gets the bugle all
choked up every 10Y and then with a lot
of notes wedged in together, which at last,
by one supreme oonvulsive effort, he blows
out all together, in a dismayed discordant
bunch. AS a matter of fact, 1 can't say
that l think he's improved at all, but,
strange as it may seem, l like to hear him
play; and l should miss him-who can
doubt that2-if he went away
And now we hear the pianos again,
pianos on all sides, and back and front,
pianos innumerable; the atmospheric inter-
sti ces etween being filed up largely with
the sounds Of multitudinous monographs;
and, listenl the pensive but p%ermeating
notes of a flute!
How we should nave missed that! And
! can fancy the flute player playing, in
the midst Of this musical tumult, all wrapped
up in and hearing his own notes alone,
and finding in them q 10y. And IL, 1t i a

and his own; else how wretched should

big summer picnic park where at night, in
the season, they always shoot of fireworks,
these being mainly bombs, which start
skyward from Che earth with a report like
that of a cannon, to burst high in the air
and scatter smaller bombs whose explo-
sions are like a rattle Of musketry.
Il never feel that the summer season In
my neighborhood has been really and fairly
opened until they have the frat big picnic
at the picnic grounds, and begin firing those
bombs, which they did last night. The
pianos were playing and the singers were
and bass horns and bassoons and flute
and cocertinas were going, the air was a
waving, billowing, surf smashe sea Of
sound, and yet there seemed something
something lacking.
sAnd then there came a glow in the sky,
the light Of a bursting bomb-the picnic
season had opened; and that was the thing
that was needed to complete the effect upon
the ear. just that one thing, the sound Of
the bursting bombs; and now that the

it was suggested that the women make
rag carpets to obtain what was needed,
Consequently during the winter Of 1901 OF
the club members collected all the old cloth
they could lay hands on and at their regular
meetings tore it into strips and prepared
it for weaving. When the material was
ready for rugs Mrs. William C.. Houston,
the portrait painter, who has a summer
home in Cornish, suggested that instead
of the rag carpet OF, historic fame, made
on the old fashioned loom, a rug of prettier
color with some attempt at design should
be fashioned.

The women from the city soon made
