Crumley, of Hamilton Pish Park, "and the playgrounds of the city, even more than the public schools, ire making. American citizens out of the foreign population of the tenements.' "These children have never known What freedom was before. Neither have they known what respect for laws Was. Order is maintained in the tenement districts only by the presence Df the 'cop,' but on the playground the children learn that the laws exist for the Wod of the community, and obey them, illingly. They learn, in fact, that liberty is not license, and that is the most valuable training they could get for American citizenship." In some of the playgrounds there ap- pears to the visitor to be more law than liberty, and there le a painful rnechan- lcalness about the play. Unsupervised playing has been found to be out of the question, and how to supervise without checking spontaneity is a problem which has not always been satisfactorily solv- ed. In Hamilton Fish Park the corn- bined spontaneity and good behavior are marked by all comers . The children re- gulate their own play to a great ex- tent. During the crowded hours there Is always a girl in charge of each swing, or "teeter -saw,' and in return for count- ing the swings that each girl takes and directing her to vacate in favor of the next girl in line at the end of the pre- scribed number she is allowed to have one turn in every twenty-five herself. This works very well, as a rule, but occa- sionally a girl succeeds in getting hold of the swing out of her turn. Then there Is an appeal to Miss Crumley, but she frequently declines to interfere. Why did you let her get ahead of you 9" she asks, after listening to the eomplafnt of the injured party. "You should stand up for your rights." This useful lesson the little girl prob- ably lays to heart, and the next time it is not so easy to get ahead of her. The playground has had a far-reach- ing effect upon the neighborhood, end many things have changed since it was opened. It has added rnueh to the Interest of the hone life in giving the ghildren something to tell their par- ents when they go home. "My children never used to talk at home," said one mother. "Now their tongues run all the time." Another notable effect is that the children, both boys and girls, get home to their evening meal in time, and show little inclination to run the streets eft er wa d. "They get so tired and hungry in the playground that they are glad to eat and go to bed." Miss Crumley says. "Of Bourse, they had their play before, but it was dif Brent. It excited them and did not slake them healthily tired. For instance, they didn't even know how to run when this playground was opened. They had never before had space to set one foot before another, and any sort of rapid progres ion through the streets meant dcsdeine under horses' heads, av- oiding the trolley ears and keeping an eye open for the `cop.' To a visitor, of course, it probably doesn't sem wor- thy of remark. but to me one of the most gratifying things about the play- ground is to see the children rum "They are greatly changed, too, in other respects. When the park 'vas opened they were very excitable, just like wild ducks, and geese. Now they .an enjoy their play without getting wild about it, and it is quite wonder- ful to see them standing in the line kaiting for their turn at a swing or a "teeter -saw." --Front the ',New York Tribune. baa Minard's Liniment Cares iUistereper.

Mrs. Cornwallis West, the London beauty, has written a magazine article in which she says: "It is not to be de- nied that smoking is much on the in- crease among women in England, and it is now more or less an accepted fact and is tolerated even in the most old- fashioned houses. There is no doubt that when indulged in moderation its ef- fects are beneficial, particularly to nerv- ous, overstrained or overworked women, Mid the prejudice against it is bound to disappear." FROM SLAVERY TO; WEALTH. How an African Black Became Rich and Famous. • A British -cruiser swooped down on a slaver off 'the ,'Vest Coast of Africa, the human cargo was set ashore, and aanong the "picl aninnies" saved was a little boy wham the missionaries christened Richard Blaize, This happened many years ago, and yesterday Mr. R. B. Blaize diedtut Lagos, a millionaire, a great philanthopist and an honored citi- zen of the, Empire, It was to Sierra Leonethat the re- leased child slave was taken, and a missionary society adopting him, lie was educated in the Ohr'istian faith, and later entered the printing department at Lagos, in which he rose to be head printer. But the great Manchester trade that is done on the West Coast claimed him, and, beginning in a small way, he very soon established a good business. His knowledge of. printing was useful, for, carefully noting 'the designs which were mostly affected by the natives in their own weaving ,sheds, he registered the native patterns, and soon secured a large trade in Manchester goods bear- ing the favorite designs. "I have never anet a keener man of business," said a `'Vest African trader 'who had intimate business relations with the native magnate. "I3is busi- ness methods were excellent and up -to - dote,; his correspondence was always eouohed in the most perfect English, and looking at the hand -writing one would have imagined he was a hard-headed, unimaginative merchant who had never left his Liverpool or London office." Mr. Blaize was several limes offered a seat on the Legislative Council, but declined owing to an unfortunate im- pediment in his speech which he thought would prevent him taking part in the debates.

A periphatetic minister was called on at a place known as Spotted Islands to marry a couple who were awaiting a chance for the ceremony. The bridegroom was an elderly man, who was a kind of king in the place. When the minister arrived at the island he found all the islanders assembled in the little school room awaiting him. It was not till he actually entered the building that he discovered the bride was the deceased's wife sister. This being a for- bidden relationship. he refused to pro- ceed, whereupon the intending bride- groom quietly remarked: "Never mind, Mister, one of these others will do." So, turning to the expectant crowd, he se- lected a suitable partner, and she being willing, "all went as gaily as a marriage bell:'- Dr. Grenfell, on Labrador, in Les- . lie's Monthly Magazine for December.

Large quantities of coat have been carried to sea to replenish the bunkers of the Rus- sian ° war fleet on its way to the Orient. Tho comparatively new expedients for coaling steamships at sea will have the most thor- ough tests yet given to them. The results of experimeuts v-ith the transference cf coal in seas not too rough seem to have placed the work on a practical basis. Ever since Admiral Seymour succeeded in coaling the British naval fleet in the Mediterranean during the short campaign of 1882 against Egypt, the problem has been regarded as needing only better appliances for its full solution. No nation has since been compelled in the stress of war times to develop a system of sea coaling, though in 1898, in our war with Spain, we occasionally coaled at sea, but white our large fleet lay off Santiago for many weeks we made a coal depot at Guan- tanamo Bay, to which our vessels were sent for renewal of supplies, In the early days Of experimentation it was thought that to coal successfully the colliers and warships must seek the quieter waters inshore, out- side of the three-mile limit; but with the appliances and methods since invented ves- sels have been coaled far out at sea and in stiff winds if the water sureace were not too tumultuous. The Russian themselves have been prominent in these' experiments, and a series of pictures published last spring showed the battleship Aetvizani coaling while under way. The method now used is to have the col- lier in tow of the steamer to be coaled. An overhead cable extends from the after - mast of the warship to the foremast of the collies', and on the cable is a traveller pro- vide of coalfl Thwie Hall buckets areisent verhooks for cikto the warship and returned empty. Wo saw much the same method employed during the building of the subway, the buckets of earth or rock being transferred on the carriers to the dumping platforms, where the wagons were loaded; the sea apparatus, however, has various additions, as for example, an ar- rangement for taking un the slack of the cable or paying it out as the distance be- tween the vessels varies. In this way from thirtfefive to forty tons afrpaitransferred held warship anhou,whthe vessel ws steaming at the rate of ten or eleven knots.

Bow Not to Catch Cold. (Journal of Health.) People are more likely to match cold in the back than they are generally aware of, and if neglected may prove a serious matter. The back, especially between the shoulders, should always be kept well covpretl, and nev- er lean with your back against anything that is cold. Never sit with the back in a di- rect draught, and when warming it by the fire do not continuo to keep the back exposed to the heat after it has become comfortably warm. To do so is debilitating.

A quart of milk, three-quarters of a pound of anoderately fat beef, sirloin steak, for in- stance, and five ounces of wheat flour, all contain about the saane amount of nutritive material; but we pay different prices for them and they have different value for nutriment.

If you would have friends, advises the Chicago Journal, be interested in them. There is a difference between interest and curiosity. Never be curious. Interest asks nothing, but is glad of others' joys and sorry for others' mis- fortunes. Curiosity seeks to find more than is written upon the surface, seeks it for the purpose of distribution, for innocent slander, One's friends like one to be interested. They detest one -rho is curious. To be interested in those one meets needs but to wish them well. To see the best of those about us will cause us to wish them well.
