scale it will always be found easy to
never be accomplished except at large
expense.
The park system of city should be
laid out in systematic manner and
should consist Of parks Of varying sizes
and design, each more or less particu-
larry adapted for certain purposes. In
a general way the parks should ill.,
crease in size with the increase in dis
lance from the business center, and
there should be four or five classes of
parks.
! Those Of the smallest class should be
of the city to relieve the pressure Of
I business, but they should not be So
large as to have a disorganizing effect
or cause undue Inconvenience to traffic
and the dispatch Of business.
: Parks Of the next largest size should
be in the crowded residential and tene-
ment districts, and they may be Of
varying sizes, from one to four blocks
or more in area.
! Parks Of the third class should be 10
Gated on the outskirts of the residen-
tial portions and may be of large ex-
tent, from twenty to several hundred
acres in extent. These should be the
principal parks of the city and should
be connected by boulevards and park
ways.
The fourth and largest group OF
parks may properly consist of large I'M
developed areas of land purchased by
the city and rented out partially for
farming uses and partially held as for
ests, from which the wood may be cut
and sold in such quantities as will not
deplete its growth.
! The system of parks should thus be
laid out in the most comprehensive
manner and with long view into the
future.
: In the planning Of a park system
many important considerations must
be taken intO account, among which
are, in addition to the ample sizing of
the parks. their number, their proper
locations, the nature Of the land to be
lIIcil lhto u - D
tenn. their relation to waterways and
boulevards, the purposes for which
they are to be utilized, their environ
ment, their accessibility and their in
ternal design.
The latter depends on size, location
and uses and may be either Of formal
Or a rural character or q composite.
! The number of the parks of a city
should be large. particularly as regards
the smaller parks. and an important
principle of park design is to have the
number and location such that every
portion Of the city is within easy walk
Ing distance Of at least small park.
! In location parks should be so placed
as to be part Of system and not mere
" set down at haphazard and wherev-
er room may be made. They afford
excellent terminal points for streets
and avenues. and when organized into
q proper system add unity and variety
TO q city's plan.

Resuscitatinq tho Drowning.

The Instructions to boy scouts for
restoring breathing persons taken un-
conscious from the water are as fol-
lows: when taken from the water
the patient is laid on the ground face
downward arms extended above the
head and face little to one side so as
not to prevent free passage of the air.
The operator kneels astride or beside
the prone figure and let's his hands fall
into the spaces between the short ribs.
BY letting the weight of the upper body
fall upon his hands resting on the prone
man the cir is forced out Of the lungs;
by relaxing the pressure the chest
cavity enlarges and air is drawn in to
take the place of that forced out BY
effecting this change in air-pressing
and relaxing twelve to fifteen times q
minute thine ii by watch at first and
then cOunt)-artificial breathing is per
formed If the pressure does not bring
the water out at once. pull the tongue
forward. Sometimes it IS necessary to
work for an hour or two before the
flicker Of an eyelid or gasp from the
patient rewards the life savers efforts.
When the breathing starts promote the
circulation by rubbing the legs and
body toward the heart Put the pa
tient to bed keep him quiet and warm.

Romance of tho Elevator.


The elevator waited.
Packed with business men and clerks.
And bankers and stenographers and
statesmen and agents.
The starter snapped his signal.
The doors began to close.
When a cherubic faced messenger
boy slipped in and faced the door.
He turned and looked us over.
With a childlike. questioning, re-
proachful stare
Then politely doffed his number cap
and held it against his breast.
The women smiled
While painful bushes
Swept over the faces Of the men in
the ascending car
And one by one
The hats came off
Until every man in the elevator stood
sheepishly bareheaded.
Just then
A strange thing happened.
The little messenger boy, having
glanced into his cap,
Shouted, stop at
The twenty -thoid, will YER.
And replaced his cap on his head at
q raking angle, whistling.
All he had done
Was to consult
The address on the telegram.-New
York Tribune.

HIGH FLYING Birds.

There are two animals that puzzle
naturalists more than any others.
They are natures submarine and aero
plane. the whale and the eagle. 1t is
known that whales occasionally de-
scend as much as 1900 feet below the
surface Of the sea-a depth at which,
by the pressure Of the water, they
ought to be crushed fiat. Why they
are not injured scientists have yet to
discover. 1t is this pressure which
prevents modern submarine descend
ing even 800 feet, let alone 5000.
Eagles have been seen through tele-
scopes to fly with apparent ease from
10000 to 10000 feet above sea level
says Pearsons. At that height no
human being can live, owing to the
rarefaction Of the air. How the birds
live and fly at far greater heights than
man can endure for long is a question
still to be answered.

Game Of Months.

It is only necessary that the leader
should know this game. He starts by
asking in order from left to right first
What month are you going away?'
The player might answer, June
Then of the next one he asks. What
will you wenr?" or What will you
do?' What will you take with your
etc.-any question he thinks of, but
the answer to all must begin with the
initial of the mouth chosen.
As an answer for the first question
might he Jacket and jumper" for No.
2, Jump and jig for No. 3, Jar of
jelly etc.
The answers in all probability will
be confused. as the players at first
do not catch the trick. Each one who
makes wrong answer is told That
will not do" When one or two "catch
on" they may make the game funnier
by giving ridiculous answers.

they saw Pat lying precariously on a

And from this place he directed his

But just as they were lowering ropes
Pat slipped down another twenty feet
So they patiently began again, this

was almost in his hand when, in his
excitement, he lurched forward and

Its odd name was given to it because

irritating to the nose that workmen are
obliged to sneeze even when they are
planning it. II a piece Of wood of this
tree is put In the mouth 1t is found to

it is this bitterness which prevents in
