grounds committee with others has
worked out the problem of ways and
means to very apprcciablc extent
but there remains something yet TO
be done along this line to finance the
proposition. Those who have con-
trlbutcd have done SO generously.
Liberal donations in the way of
equipment have been received yet
there is needed additional cOntribu-
lions of money and further donations
for equipment. Any person WHO has
a tennis net, bascballs. bats, tents,

Some Zones of Quiet.

For some time there has been In certain
of our large cities q movement on foot
for the suppression of unnecessary noise
and In many ways the societies have done
good work. ! am told that It Is largely in
consequence of their efforts that quiet has
been established in streets near hospitals,
that the needless footing of horns or clat-
tering OF wagons has been eliminated from
localities where they might do positive
harm to invalids- The managers Of the
society have also endeavored to check the
over-much blowing of whistles and steam
sirens and ringing OF bells. The business
committees who have charge OF the
churches possessing clock chimes stop
those early in the evening and do not start
them again until late enough in the morn
ing to prevent interference with reason
able amount Of sleep. There Is even a law
which undertakes to regulate the beating OF
carpets, the noise of the knife grinder and
huckster and other street sounds which
may be deemed not strictly necessary.
But when it comes to the front door
and the back door-of our houses and apart
nents such surveillance ceases. You may
invoke the assistance of the board Of health
to check music at uncanonical hours or
the noise of dogs and cats IL you don't OBJ
iect to getting yourself on unpleasant
terms with your neighbors. But have
struggled in vain. on my own behalf. and
for the sake of others, to induce parents
to quiet a screaming child or even to close
the windows of the room in which the
child walked the midnight echoes.

the house adjoining began crying at or

the sound. Ny friend was a business wom-
an; she had no chance to make up lost
sleep by a daytime nap and the constant
disturbance was telling on her nerves.

But neighborhood nuisances are by no
means limited to small children. Even

incessant barking and yelping Of a small
dog. i don't know the cause Of his dis

Of chickens in the vicinity to keep them
shut up until after daylight that my family
might not be aroused by shrill crows at

almost to tears at the noise made by the
cows and calves in the barnyard. not only
after sunrise, but for hours before It.
What is the matter with the noise makers
and their associates? Are their ears built
differently from ours or are their nerves
made on another pattern? And even grant

There is no need in going further with
the repetitions which lasted for blocks be-

and fight, the mother kept up her COM
mands and her seedlings while / sat re-
straining with difficulty the unhallowed
longings to take hold of the child and ad-
minister discipline Of the kind he evidently
needed badly.
This illustration Of a neighborhood nuis-
Rnce is nothing unusual. II have in
stanced it I have done so merely as an
example Of the sort of thing we are forced
to endure in our vicinity on public con-
veyances, on the street, in shops and places
Of entertainment. as well as in our homes

by parents Of unruly children.

Appeal for Books.

Won't you please make an earnest ap-
peal for books for the little library some
interested parties are trying to establish
In our little town for the benefit of the
boys and girls OF this community? The
need il great and the benefits to be de-
rived cannot be estimated In dollars and
cents. There are many discarded books
that would otherwise be OF no use that
can be Of great service, and perhaps some
philanthropists may be reached In this
way who might supply our wants in this
missionary way. Even the smallest dona.
ton will be greatly appreciated.
Mrs. o. II. D."
Such an appeal as this from a little town
should need no indorsement-it speaks for
itself. But wish to emphasize the sus-
gestion that there may be books no longer
in use which would be of great service
to the boys and girls Of whom Mra o. h. D.
writes and hope most sincerely tfat
they may be sent to the correspondent

I have not been inside a church for seven

magazines they don't care for I would
gladly pay postage on them. as 1 am too
poor to buy them. Also II any one has

A card or a letter from some kind heart
