Quite often when towns are organ
lied the matter Of providing for public
parks is overlooked. Every town Is a
city in embryo. No one can prophesy
how great It may become in time It
Is well to look into the future and to
set aside grounds that may be used
for park purposes 1t has been the
experiments Of many cities that the
park question is a troublesome one
when not looked after In ample time
There is nothing that makes the city
more attractive or is such a blessing
to its people as a coy park where
they may meet for recreation during
the warmer months OF the year.

BLIND MEN BUILD A HOUSE.

Able to Work in Egyptian Darkn ess
 as We'll as Monday.
 Two totally blind men have built house fer themselves at Berkeley, Cal. doing all the carpenter work them selves without any assistance whatever.
 It Is a coincidence that both these men are named Joseph-Joseph Brown and Joseph Martinez. The house is of the popular bungalow type, one and a half stories high and constructed en- tirely of wood. It is eighteen feet wide by twenty-five feet long.
 As the builders are sIghtless, the work necessarily progressed slowly. From early morning until Nfrequently long after sunset the two men toiled patiently at their task. The shades of night did not hinder the work, for noon- day and midnight are equally dark to them and out of the blackness came the song of the saw and the blows of the hammer to passersby, who heard but saw ne werkmen-
 From day to day the work was curl. ously watched by crowds, including many carpenters. The general work Is pronounced as geed as that performed by many builders who are blessed with perfect eyeslght-
 Brown and Martinez were not blind from their birth, but were deprived of their sight many years ago. They were door to door peddlers for many years and managed In the course of time ts accumulate snug sums of money that were wisely deposited in banks. At the time of the great fire In San Francisco these men lost everything save their little bank accounts.
 Recently they pooled their holdings, purchased 6 small lot ia Berkeley and some lumber. They then set to work resolutely and built themselves a house.

HELPING COTTON PLANTERS.
How the Government Is Coming to
 the Rescue of a Great Industry.

ao" thC IN So"lhB to
 the Rescue of a Great Industry.
 At one time 1t was thought the whole important Sea Island cotton industry would be swept away by a disease" says Secretary of Agriculture Wilson. "The departments experts entered the field, de veloping a diseaseresistance cotton by breeding and selection, and re-establishsd the industry. In all the South where the boil weevil is now working the depart ment is striving to secure varieties that will be so early as to produce crops de- spite the weeyil. We are succeeding in this and are distributing new types of cotton superior to those already in exist ence, and which will mature ahead of the weevil.
 "One of the greatest lines of propa- ganda work the department is carrying on Is in the South, in connection with the cotton weevil. When the weeyil in- vaded the country the cotton growers were discouraged, and it was necessary to rally them. This was done by exten- sive systems of demonstration work. The farmer Is shown how to grow cotton de- spite the weevil, how to rotate his crops, how to improve his land, and how to sur. round his home with better conditions generally. Last year the department was working along this line with more than 100000 farmers in the States Of TeIas and Louisiana alone. and this year the number will be increased.
 "These farmers are being taught how to maintain the fertility of the land by the use of legumes, to grow corn, to keep animals. and at the same time pro- ducs cotton. We are endeavoring to show them that they can produce just as much cotton on half the land now in use, de- voting the other half to crops which will bring them ready money, and which will not deplete the soil"

HE WAS NOT sUPERsT1T1ous.

But When He Dreamed a Murde1
 Twice He Became Demoralised.
 Looking for q man who has not at least a grain or two of superstition in his makeup is like looking for . nee dle in q haystack, was given as the opinion of a man who declared that this peculiar element was present in 6 more or less degree with every person In existence. He made this remark In q small company which was enjoying . discussion of uncalled-for fears, occult agencies, and all that sort of thing.
 He based his assertion upon an incl. dent that, he said, happened only 6 week or 50 ago. "I was visiting an old friend in . nearby city at the time the occurrence of which speak came to my notice" he said. My friend is a very level-headed sort of an individ- ual, but sometimes rather irascibie, and has, In the course of his career, made some bitter enemies. His chief boast has always been that there is nothing superstitious about him. He would rather walk under ladder on a side walk than go around It. If he spilled salt on the tablecloth he would laugh to scorn any one who would suggest throwing a pinch of 1t over his left shoulder, and would rather begin a new enterprise on Friday than on any other day of the week, just to show people that he is not superstitious.
 Early in the morning or the second day I was at his house I was awak- ened by q loud knocking at my door, and when opened 1t was surprised to find my friend there. He was pale and haggard, and looked as If something terrible had happened. Of course, asked for an explanation. and he gave 1t to me.
 "I have not had a wink of sleep for three hours be said, and all on ac- count of two dreams that hau m sue cession. dreamed that I had an al- tercation with | business rival with whom must say I am not on good terms, and that I struck him . blow which killed him. The horror of the thing awakened me, and when drop ped off to sleep again I again had the same awful dream
 "In addition, he assured me that he did not dare to close his eyes again for fear of It's repetition a third time, and If that happened he knew be would do something desperate. Perhaps, he said, he might commit murder.
 T tried to laugh all this away and reminded him that to have an idea of that sort was the rankest kind Of su- perstition, something that he had al- ways ridiculed; but I couldn't reason with him, and kept him company un. til the breakfast bell rang.
 "I tell of this fact" the gentleman said to the company, ''in support of my belief that there Is no man who has not some superstition about him, and 1t crops out in various ways, as 1t did h the case I have just related."-wash- inRton Post
