Here are two ways of washing.
Choose for yourself:
The Old Way. Get up at 5 o'clock.
Make hot fire, fill the washboiler and get it
boiling Wet your white clothes, soap
them and put them into the boiler When
they're boiled good and tender, rub them
hard on the washboard, meanwhile putting
others in to boil. Keep the fire good and
hot 1t will fill the house with nauseous
steam but that's necessary in this kind of
Washing When noon comes, if the smell
of boiling clothes hasn't taken your appe-
tite, snatch bite of cold lunch When
you have the clothes boiled and rubbed
sufficiently, wiring them out, 60 from the
steaming hot room into the cool air out
side and hang them on the line. You'll
likely catch cold, but it must be DONE
The New Way. Get up at o'clock
summer and winter. Wet all your clothes,
soap we'll with Fels-Naptha and let them
soak in cool or lukewarm water for
80 minutes. Then rub lightly, rinse we'll
and hang out TO dry. That's all. And your
clothes will be cleaner, whittier and purer
than you could get them in any other way.
The whole washing takes only few hours.
Which way sounds best to you?
In using Fels-Naptha, follow simple
directions printed on the red and green

Kings College.
Marischal College and It's Founder.
Marischal College was founded in Aber-
deem in 1913, just ninety-eight years later
than Kings College. by George Keith,
earl marischal of Scotland. whose Ia
comic reply to the admonitions of the
Scottish parliament on a certain occa-
sion is carved over the entrance to the
new buildings:
Thay half said:
Quhat thay say;
Lat thame say.
This is quite ambiguous to uniformed
readers. and 1t would be necessary to re-
cite long chapter in history to make it
entirely clear but these three oracular
EXPLANATIONS mean that the earl maris-
chal was not frightened by the warnings
of parliament concerning the freedom
with which he turned over church and
government property to the new univer-
sity He had no comments to make, ex-
cept to remark that They have said
what they have said.' and j. was not a

For 30 years after Marischal College
was founded there was a bitter rivalry
between the two institutions, and. al
though they were consolidated in 1850 by
a commission. consisting of the father of
the present Duke of Argyle. the father
of the present Earl of Aberdeen the
Earl Of Elsemere. the Earl of Inglies and

two institutions has not entirely disap-
peared. Kings College occupies buildings

PROFESSOR TO Be
MONKEYS CHUM To
LEARN LANGUAGE
viii Spend Ninety Days with
Simians and Strive to I'M
derstand Their Chatter.

Ninety days in the monkey house at
the Bronx Geological Park is the self
imposed sentence which will be served
out this summer by Professor Melvin
e. Haggerty, of Harvard University,
in order that he may learn the Ian
guage Of the simians and get out an
orang-outang lexicon and a treatise on
monkey oratory. Quarters have been
prepared for the linguist and biologist,
and every detail except the flying rings
and trapeze have beer arranged.
After three months close association
with the other inmates Professor Eag-
gerty expects. to be able to interpret
their language.
The professor is the assistant of Pro-
fessor Robert M. Yerkes, the great
tutor to turtles and toads, who spent
some time at the zoo last summer
teaching the amphibians the benefits
to be derived from right living.
Whether Caruso will take up his res
idence at the monkey house to teach
the simians to sing in connection with
Professor Haggerty's work is not
known.

Essex Board Says.
FINDS UTILIZATION OF
SWAMPY LAND BENEFIT
Public Health Often MenaCed if
UnimprOyed by individuals.
VandaIs Scored.

The twelfth annual report of the Es-
sex County Park Commission for the
year ending December 81, 1907, was
made public tiday. The report is print
ed in pamphlet form, and many fine
half-tones descriptive of what has been
accomplished since the last illustrated
report in 1901. The work lone during
the year is reviewed and the plans for
the present year are outlined.
Much of the space in the pamphlet is
devoted to the forestry work at the
Eagle Rock and South Mountain reser-
vations, and a comparison is made be-
tween existing conditions and the task
which confronted the commissioners
in 1903. In this connection the report
says:
The greatest enemy the reservations
have, aside. from forest fires, is the van
dal; the man who is unable to enjoy a
beautiful dogwood blossom without
tearingit down, or to admire a noun
tain laurel without |uprooting it. The
Park Commission has used every means
in its power to impress upon the public
that there are not enough trees and
shrubs in the reservations to give of
their flowers and branches to every
citizen who visits them.
Special guards are detailed in De-
cember to prevent all the e%vergreens
that have escaped the woodchopper
from being turned into Christmas trees.
In the spring the dogwood has to be
especially protected, and in the fall
the chestnut, the elderberry and the
sumach have to be protected. Clrcu-
lars have been printed and handed to
all visitors, signs have been erected
appealing to the people and arrests
have been made. The nuisance cannot
be entirely stopped, however, until a
public sentiment is aroused which will
make it impossible"
Details of the acquisition OF the three
new parks during the year are a part
of the report. The commission advo-
Gates the use of low and swampy land
for park purposes, leaving the higher
and more desirable property for resi-
dence or business sites. 1t say

to be a good rule in park-making to

There are now ten parks directly un-
der the control of the board, viz.
Branch Brook, Eastside, Westside,
Riverbank and Weequahic reservation
in Newark; Orange and Watsessing
parks in the Oranges and Bloomfield;
South Mountain reservation at South
Orange; Montclair Park and Eagle
Rock reservation.
''The Park Commission was assured
by experts, the report continues, that
this community is equipped as COM
pletely as any other of similar popula-
ton in the country"
The above, referring to he play
ground apparatus, is preceded by
itemized statements of the various adj
ditions to the Fairgrounds in the mat
ter of apparatus during the year.
Among the features was a hot-water
heating plant placed in the field house
in the northern division of Branch
Brook Park for the accommodation of
those who use the field for football.
Statistical tables appended to the re-
port place the attendance at the vari-
GUS parks during the month of July,
1907, the banner month, at 165, 1886, an
increase of nearly 1000 over 1906. Of
this number Branch Brook Park is
credited with 62,250. West Side Park
follows closely, with 1890, and East
Side Park Is estimated at 80, 1000. The
average daily attendance was nearly
1000 in the Fairgrounds alone.
Mention is also made Of the stocking
of the South Mountain reservation
with game, 200 Hungarian cartridges
and forty Hungarian hares having
been turned loose in the reservation
during March. The cartridges resemble
the native quail, but are much larger,
while the hares sometimes attain a
great size, in some instances weighing
twenty pounds. The Hungarian va
riety was selected, the report says be-
u it was not migratory and was
hardy.
