6 o GREAT is the demand for ground

lngs some of them quite modern, were
razed during the past twelve months
to make way for skyscrapers. The
structures destroyed cost fully $12,-
100000, yet the compensations for this
destruction of property are as remark
able as the story of the losses. Col
lectors of fine decorations find treas
ures In the dismantled buildings,
which are preserved in newer and
finer dwellings, churches and public
institutions. The property destroyed
is replaced by modern edifices worth
at least eight times what the old
buildings cost. Adopting the records
for the last year as basis it will be
seen that nearly two structures fell
prey to the wreckers every day in the
year. Of the 618 the section north and
west of Central Park contributed the
most. The rise of the great apartment
houses in upper Manhattan meant the
sacrifice of hundreds of dwellings, A

JEW designs for coins which were
~ to have been minted in Philadel-
phia which Augustus st. Gaudens, the
distinguished sculptor, made shortly
before his death, have been found un.
suitable in their present shape for
execution with the machinery in use
at the mint. Hence, contrary to a
current report the government has
not accepted any of them. The gen.
eral approval which was expressed by
the president is not conclusive in an
official sense. The law requires that
they shall be accepted by the secre.
tary of the treasury and the director
of the mint before being adopted.
The projection of the sculptures
upon the coins is too high for con.
venience of handling at banks or
other large business establishments.
Coins cannot be we'll "stacked' unless
one will lie perfectly fiat and snug

MOT content with furnishing summer
~ Fairgrounds and outdoor gym
nasiums for the needs of school chill
dren, who otherwise would have to re-
sort to the streets for their past
times, the New York board of educa-
tion has established kindergartens
for mothers. This is the very latest
and newest wrinkle in the educational
line. The board of education has
come to the conclusion that the train
ing of children must begin with the
mothers, and part of it's summer work
Is directed to the training of the wom-
en- of the east side and other crowded
portions of the greater city. Of all
the progressive steps taken by the
school authorities in this city the new
form of kindergarten is one of the
most remarkable and interesting.
That it will be fruitful there is al
ready every reason to believe. Pri-
marily it is just a summer kinder
garten with a material annex. No
boys older than six years are admit
ted. They are sent to the other play
grounds conducted by the board of
education. No girls above the kinder
garten age are permitted to attend un.
less they bring babies with them.
Thus it can be seen that a baby is a
regular ticket of admission. The pur-
pose OF this kindergarten course is to

few of them were old country resi-.
dences, but the majority belonged to
the newer growth of the last 10 or Is
years. The destruction every year of
buildings costing $12,0O0,000 seems to
be heavy sacrifice for even a great
city like New York to make to prog
ress. AS matter of fact, the loss
is insignificant when compared with
the tremendous gain. The $12,OO0,-
600 worth of demolished structures
are replaced with buildings worth
$1O0,OO0,00O. Fully 250,000 tons of
structural steel were put into the new
buildings erected in this city last year

No Quarrel with Time.

According to the poet we are speed
Ing forever down the ringing grooves
of change, and this is nowhere more
apparent than in the alterations In the
thing considered A writer in the
New York Evening Post, in alluding
to this matter, says that those who
occupy the benches in the public
parks on summer afternoon to listen
to the band are no longer satisfied
with the Star Spangled Banner and
a medley from the comic operas, but
must have selections from Wagner
and Gounod, though he indicates that
they may not be averse to little Of
Richard Straus thrown in, we sup
pose, by way of dessert in the musical
feast There is a like fastidiOusness
in regard to painting. due to the in
f1uence of the museum of fine arts and
picture exhibitions. ChromOs, even
when they are copies Of celebrated
paintings, have lost their vogue, and
the fashion for fruit and flower pieces
is going out. while "marines,' repre-
senting heart-rending shipwrecks,
have been superseded, it is somewhat
satirically observed, by Waves with
cotton wool crests and splash of
moonlight which discloses nothing be-
cause it is SO suggestive.' A change
in the taste of literature is also ap-
parent in the demand for short stories
in dialect to replace the old-fashioned
serial novels. Continued works of fic-
tion in the monthly magazines still
have their admirers, though the ma
jority of readers no longer like bloody
tales of the frontier type or long
drawn out sensational narratives of
unhappy brides and ghostly visitants.
Instead they prefer a story concern
ing the fair settlement worker who
lives among the poor and perhaps
makes a romantic marriage, or &C.
counts Of automobile adventures in
which the heroine has many lucky es.
capes from perils of various kinds.
In sermons, too, the ministers keep
abreast of the times in short dis
courses, treating the topics of the
hour as they bear on moral and reli-
slous life, and do not model their ser.

had sleepy congregations. What was

SENATE "THlRSTS" COST
SIG APIECE LAST YEAR

WASHINGTON. = Senators are a
w thirsty lot The report of Charles
e. Bennett, secretary of the United
States senate, shows that during the
last fiscal year that august body con-
sumed $50 cases of mineral water,
costing $4,504.70. Then there was
$2,O25.87 for carbonized mineral water,
and $31S.97 for lemons and sugar for
the famous senate lemonade, making
total of $6,S49.54 for drinkables, and
not drop of anything "hard," as far
as the official list shows. Since there
are 80 senators, the per capita con-
sumption is about SIC. 1t should be
remembered also that while there
are some senators who drink a great
deal of mineral waters there are also
some who drink very little, and there
is much curiosity here as to who drank
the most last year.
But why in the name of all that is
unparliamentary did any senator
need 'skirt trunk" costing $2670?
The Official list of expenditures makes
no explanation of this interesting item.
Another peculiar item is that of ZOOS
metique, AZ cents,' and it is thought
this may have been incurred about
the same time as the skirt trunk.
An echo Of the good old days when
the senators received free transporta-
tion from the railroads and
were thus enabled to pocket the
20 cents mile allowed by the
government is contained in the item
"Pass cases, $780," There are $SS
worth of feather busters on the
list, but it is promised that this will
not occur again, and it is realized
that more effective weapons are re.
qnired in strife with the president.
For sponges the senate made the mod
est outlay of $510.21, according to pub.
lisked figures.

and poultry, and in the more thickly
inhabited regions probably does as
much damage as the golden eagle. y
The golden eagle, say the experts, has
been known to attack calves and colts
and to have carried away from one
range in the west in a single year
more than 400 lambs.
The report of the survey divides
the hawk and owl families into four
general species as follows: Species
wholly beneficial; those chiefly bene-
fetal; those in which beneficial and
harmful qualities about balance; harm
full species. Some of these birds may
be good citizens in one locality and
extremely undesirable citizens" in an
other.
