A Royal Scramble.

Not only is human nature not affected
by such factors AZ latitude and longitude,
but the wearing of the uniforms of rank
and royalty does not modify it's tenden-
cies. Whether they are peasants in Rus
Sias swarming to get possession of a
trumpery coronation plate of tin or a
crowd of American women at a bargain
rush, or guests in a ballroom struggling
for plates of chicken salad and dishes of
Ice cream and glasses of champagne
punch. the desire to be in at a free dis
ribu;ion overwhelms all other considera-
tons. The latest example of this singular
characteristic of the human family is that

tials. the guests of high rank, represent

Treasury Department Suggestions.

Secretary McAdoo's invitation to the
employees of the Treasury Department to
submit suggestions and recommendations
for the Improvement of the service will
probably bring forth flood of commu-
nications. some of them practical and
others wholly impractical If the iden-
tity of the proponents is not TO be dis

matters included in this clearance of
ideas. but the general effect OF such a
disclosure of departmental thought will
not be unwholesome. There are two
types of workers in every establishment,
public or private. those who see the sit
uaton from the point of view of their
own welfare and comfort. and those who
regard it broadly, regardless of personal
interest and with reference to the general
efficiency. II is impossible to eliminate

the purpose of nflicting as much pun

knock out his opponent by landing a blow
that will render him impotent for at least
ten seconds To this end he has trained
himself to strike at certain parts of the
body with his utmost force, meanwhile
preventing the other man from landing
blows upon those same parts of his own

Value of Parks.

From the Rochester Democrat.
There are many thoughtful persons
who believe that it is to its enlightened
park policy that, to a notable extent,
Rochester owes its phenomenal growth
during the past quarter of century.
That growth, in residential sense has
been steadily in the direction of the
city's parks, which twenty-five years
ago were concededly outlying. This
tendency is shown by the beautiful
homes which reside under the caves OF
Highland Park. border closely upon
Seneca and Maplewood parks. and
which are yielding to the attractions
of the Genesee Valley Park and the Du-
ran-Eastman Park at the more distant
lakeside. Thus the prophetic vision OF
the late Frederick Law Olmsted of a
populous city broadening out and en-
circling its great outlying parks, is be-
ing realized But even that great ar
fist, who seemed almost inspired, did
not venture to predict that the fora
beauties of the parks ne planned would
materialiZe within the brief period OF
twenty-five years.
