To the statistics showing the value Of

ssting addition has been made, says
the Architectural Record. 1t il q com

the general council Of Louisville by
General John B. Castleman, who is
president Of the park board. He quotes
q former city assessor as stating some
years ago after careful investigation
that park development bad added $2O.-
000.00 to the taxable values. Accept
Ing the present rate Of assessment
$1.S6), General Castleman finds that
the income to the city from this In
crease Is $4,000 year. In ten years
1t comes to $3,7200O0. and In the same
period the total outlay for parks was
5000. 625.S3. Thus the municipality
realized in addition to the property il
received aci the pleasure given to cit

CLEANING THE TOWN.
Citizens Of San Francisco Put the
Streets In Order,

Nittxous OF San francisco Put the
Streets In Order.
The good work recently dune in San
Francisco to clean the streets OF that
city might offer suggestion to other
towns. About 1900 men and 300
teams turned out one day and made a
big success Of the first public street
cleaning on record. More was done in
ten hours by volunteers than had been
done In the ten months since the fire.
Business men shoveled dirt side by
side with men In overalls who work
every day at cleaning brick.
Buglers from the Preside sounded
the call to work. The city had been
Distracted, and under good managers
the work Of sweeping the streets and
carting away the dirt went along live
ly. Before noon 1t was clear that the
wagons could not keep pace with the
cleaners, and when work ended at night
there were hundreds Of loads of dirt
which will have to he removed.
The street In front of police head
quarters was cleaned expeditiously by
prisoners who were arrested for drunk
enness. When they had swept the
street clean they were allowed to CO.
Along Montgomery street. formerly one
of the worst In the city for dirt, finan-
ciers, brokers and real estate men
turned out with their full force of
clerks and soon had the thoroughfare
well cleaned.
Thirty eating stations were estab-
lished In various parts Of the burned
district. and these were attended by
prominent women who had volunteer
ed to look after feeding the workers.
Even cigars were handed out to all
who worked Take 1t all In all 1t was
q unique experience in town cleaning,
and its democracy recalled the days Of
the great calamity.

CARE OF THE LAWN.
Methods to Be Used to Produce the
Best Results.

Bert Results.
With little care and trouble a lawn
can be made beauty spot. How many
home owners know how TO take care
Of their lawns in a manner to obtain
the best results7 A perfect lawn can
not be made upon all kinds of ground,
but one may succeed in making a sat
isfactory lawn and keeping it in good
condition upon unfavorable soils by
proper treatment II the soil is thin,
with a graveIly subsoil, work deeply
into it as much organic matter as pos
sible and apply more fertilizing ele-
ments and grass seed in the season
than If the soil were heavy and moist,
says the Kansas City Star.
Perennial weeds, like the dandelion,
speedwell, plantain, dock, monkey plant,
ETC., can sometimes be got rid of by
sowing an abundance of grass seed and
making the soil SO rich that the grasses
will choke them out, but IL they have
obtained strong foothold 1t will be
cheaper In the end to pull them out
oAo lhCA put OA TIC grass Sccu anu
fertilizers.
The best lawn dressing Is fine ma
nure. Fine ground bone, wood ashes
or little muriate of potash is also
q good dressing. If the grass starts
slowly and is Of poor color-light
green-a little nitrate of soda, 100 to
300 pounds to an acre, will give the
plants better color and a rapid start
These mixtures should be put on as
early as possible and be raked little
into the grass roots to prevent the loss
of nitrogen from the decomposing
bone. 1t is better to apply bone and
ashes separately, and if the former is
applied week or two before the latter
there will be little loss of nitrogen.
The lawn mower should not be used
until the ground has become settled
that the grass may become well rooted
The lawn mower is generally much
abused by those who use 1t. When
nicely adjusted and In good working
order 1t may be kept so by a hair
breadth's turn of the adjusting screws
and bolts, and no one should be al.
lowed to NEEDLE with these parts un-
less he fully understands them.
Always apply enough water to soak
deeply into the soil. A light watering
of the surface only bakes the soil SO
that the moisture escapes the more
rapidly and in the end does more harm
than good. Upon thin soil grass should
be clipped frequently and allowed to
remain upon the lawn to serve as a
mulch.

Syrian Wanted to Pay $500 for 13-Year
Old Girl-Friend Explains
the Custom.

LA CROSSE, Wis, Jan. 2G.-[ Spe-
cial. THAT they were simply carrying
out the rules of an ancient custom of
their native land, is the explanation Civ
en- by 81. AbaIen, member of the Sy-
rian colony on the north side, for the
numerous attempts made by Abram
Flouty, leader of the Syrians. to secure
a marriage license for his 13-yearold
daughter. Adella, to Abram Asfoor,
which led to an investigation of the
alleged sale of young girls in marriage
to the highest bidder, among the mem
bers of the colony.
Abalen explains the financial end of
the affair as follows. "Asfoor was liked
by George Flute and following thrifty
custom of our people Asfoor offered to
pay to Flute the amount he expended in
bringing his daughter to America and
also the sum of $500 to win his good
will. The marriage ceremony would
simply have meant a sacred avOwal of
his attentions to wed the girl, ana it
would have been necessary for item to
wait three years before assuming the re-
lations of man and wife. During this
period the couple could be on friendly
terms and be secure from the tongue Of
SANDER.
"a young man in Oshkosh. Jim Mu-
louf, was in love with the girl, too, and
made a similar proposal. Now, AsfoOr
is mad and will not marry the girl be
cause Flute had failed to get the IL
cenSe.''

STUDENTS SEE BOYCOTT.
University of Wisconsin Youths Say
They Are Disseminated Against
Under Civil Service Rules

MADISON. Wis, Jan. 2S-T Special I
University of Wisconsin students com
plain that they are Disseminated against
in the allotment of capitol jobs under
the civil service regulations. The Car
dinaP says in part i'll an editorial:
Never before to our knowledge has . uni
versity student been called upon either to
deny his occupation or suffer to lose be
cause honesty demanded that he state his
connection with Wisconsin university
Many university students passed the re-
cent civil service examination for c!erkShipS
in the Legislature. Some were certified by
the civil service commission. When they
tried to plead their case with one of the
appointing officials. they were closely in
tCrrogatcd regarding their present Occupa-
ton. When they plead guilty to the crime
OF being students in the university, they
were told that their occupation was Suff-
cient to disQualify them.
This is no asylum for university mis-
fits, was the remark passed by one Off
c!al Indeed the chairman of the commits
Slon himself a student and in addition an
instructor of university students, holds the
very same views expressed above. Why
this discrimination should be made we can
not comprehend.
Our complaint is not against the abolition
of the SO-called snap job" We entirely
agree that such practices should be stopped
But we do protest against discrimination
against applicants for the mere reason that
they are students. Such prejudice is
against justice and reason.

RELIGION and TrOuScrs.

Many of the chiefs in the protectorat a
of Gambia wish to have their sons cdu-
Gated in the new Mahometan school of
that region; but there was a bar to their
full enjoyment Of the education they
were likely to receive. The piOuS Ma
hometan papas were afraid that the
wearing of modern trousers was part Of
the school curriculum. and therefore
they viewed the school with peculiar Sus-
picion. The governor of Gambia now re-
ports that the parents have been assured
that their children will not be converted
into "trouscr men," and the prospects Of
the school are now very bright.
1t would be interesting to learn how
this suspicion of the modern neither Gov
ering arose, and whether the dry goods
merchants denied the natives their ordi-
nary material. But it may be interest
ing to recall the fact that the British
government forbade HIghlanders to
wear the kilt for some years after the
battle of Culloden. However, the gov
eminent was in q tight corner during
their continental wars, and they were
glad to raise several regiments OF High
landers, who resumed the kilt, and the

maica sugar was shipped to q mill near
