contemplated work is carried out will
prove one of the beauty spots CT the
city, and one that is destined to meet
with the approval of everyone.

Located on Upper Water ST.
The location eff the proposed new
park is ON upper Water street, just
north Of the point where Pond brook
flows to join the Kennehcc river and
the eastern boundary of the lot in
view is the river. In other words, the
park will be located at the southern
terminus Of the land on which the
Edward Cos. mills are located, and
comprises about an acre of lawn,
beautiticd with wealth of shade
trees and protected from encroachment
of the river by high retaining wall
of granite. The western boundary of
the lot is a fence leading from the
mill office to the stone bridge over
Bond brook.
1t has long been Mr.. Stevenson's
wish that the piece of land in ques-
ton might in some way be devoted
to public uses, but the matter was not
crystallied, until Saturday forenoon,
when conference was held at the
mill office, by that gentleman and
Mayor Newbert of Augusta, and as
the result of the conference there is
no doubt that the park will become

A PROSPECT
That Fire Insurance in The
May be Lowered.

For about two weeks a new insu,-
ance man has been here quietly going
about carefully examining private
residences and outbuilding. leavings
behind him the impression that some
of the people who own their homes
may probably get reduction in the
rate of their fire insurance. 1t would
certainly be welcome news. In an
article published a couple of weeks
ago. when we called attention to the
reduction Of insurance rates on farm
property. we emphasized the fact
that a city having almost unequaled
facilities for fire protection like HOP
kinsville has, we ought to have
cheaper rates. and now we hope we
will get them.

When Sheridan was in distress in
early life one of his recourses was
that of writing for the fugitive pub
locations of the day, in which he was
materially assisted by his wife, and
many years after his entrance into
the sphere of politics he was heard
to say that eff he had stuck to the
law he believed he should have done
as much as his friend Tom Erskine
but" continued he, 81 had no time
for such studies.
"Mrs. Sheridan and myself were
often obliged to keep writing for our
daily leg or shoulder of mutton; 9TH
erwise We should have had no din

whom he conversed thus, wittily re-
piled: "Then 1 perceive it was q

GILBERT HAD A READY WIT
ramous Author Of ~The mikado" Was
Never at q Loss for .
N Retort.

His table talk will not be garnered
up in dismal little volumes where the
champagne is fat and the lamps
burn dim. Brevity was the soul of
his wit, says Rowland Gray in the
Century. The terrible verdict as to
certain Hamlet" whose imper-
senator unwisely asked him to be
candid is historical.
Sunny, my dear fellow-funny
without being vulgar"
A remark about another conceited
player was made to a very limited
audience:
"Poor - He has 81 the
faults of an actor without the excuse
of being one"
A word was enough. He described
a sweet old woman, all sloping
shoulders and Honiton lace, as 'be-
longing to the early keepsake pc
ROD" Another, who was being rid
iculed for the hideous Mddlesex ac-
cent, which converted bad weather
into "voil d'y," was gravely de-
Tended by him; "She is of ancient
lineage; for it is evident she is de-
scended from the Twanglo-Saxons."
Of stout matron in society he re-
marked: 81 like Mrs. A., but /
prefer a woman to be as long as she
is broad" Rallied for his admira-
ton of several beauties at once, he
retorted, 'But surely 1 am too good
to be true" which was unanswerable.

There VIII BE No After Aches n the
Tubs Are Only Placed
High Enough.

The washday Is often spoken OF az
blue Monday" because II is usually
day Of hard work followed by days
Of recovery from such aches as wom-
an thinks her due Now, II has been
definitely proved. says ]. Howard
Frick, instructor OF Medical correction
gymnastics In the Samaritan hospital
Of Germantown. according TO the New
York Tribune. that washing clothes
has nothing to DO with making WON
an feel gloomy, but that the way she
does 1t has all to DO with her after
health.
The most common complaint OF
women after a days washing is the
terrible backache which almost COM
pels them to go to bed. This is some
times followed by headache In the
middle of the head and behind the
eyes, which often last for days. Now.
what Is the cause of these after eff
fects? Certainly ordinary work should
not entail such after sunerings. The
whole cause is the position Of the
woman while working over the tubs.
The majority Of wash benches are too
low end the woman must stoop over
while at work. This causes the mus
cles Of the abdomen to relax, which al
lows the stomach. liver, kidneys. and.
In fact all the organs. to fall forward
out Of their normal positions, caus-
ing the terrible after effects of such
work.
The proper position before a tub is
a perfectly erect position. Here 1t is
impossible for the abdominal organs
to fall out of position, as the abdom-
inal wall Is tense, as It should be when
In the erect position
Another point Of value IN the erect
position is the fact that the wringing
Of the clothes is much easier, since
the whole force of the arm can be
used without having to exert an effort
to keep the erect position.
The lifting of the tubs Is an entire
ly unnecessary labor. When they are
not Of the stationary kind they can
be emptied by means of siphon.
