RICHARD YOUNG of Brooklyn, a former Park Commissioner, in oommending the suggestion of The Evening World that the Dreamland site be purchased and maintained as a free ocean beach for the people, said of the plea that we need more schoolhouses: “Healthy children firet; then schools to educate them in.” No argument is needed to sustain the validity of that doctrine. Health is the first requisite for life on thie planet. And in this city, where the population is crowded and the summer heats are humid and unwholesome, fresh air is requisite for health. Access to the sea is a joyous, wholesome, health-giving thing. Tt should be made as convenient, as easy and as free as possible. The cost of providing it will never be less than is offered by this opportunity. And the gain in health will enable the city to eave in doctors’ bills or hospital services ample dividends on the invest- ment. Then why not make it? PUZZLES FOR HOUSEKEEPERS. T a conference of the Rainy Day Club, Mr. Reich- man, State Superintendent of Weights and Meas- ures, told the ladies that breakfast food boxes are not so big as they used to be. Thereupon Mra. Brown, president of the City Federation of Wom- en’s Clubs, said that as a means of assuring good measure women should go to market themselves instead of telephoning. But Mr. Reichman objected. He said it costs @ woman about twenty cents in carfare and two hours’ time tp do a day’s marketing; that telephoning is cheaper even if the grocer | and the butcher do slip a little on quality and measure. It is clear that an issue of this kind cannot be settled on any basis of averages or general principles. Some women can go to town and back for ten cents and do their shopping in half an hour’s time. Some other women cannot do it in less than half a day nor for an ex- penditure of less than forty centa. On this score every little woman has a problem of her own. 4 A groceryman who was at the conference said that all measuring fs subject to temporary aberrations on the part of the clerk. He ad- vocated buying everything by weight. But, alas, it has been found that even weights are sometimes crooked. So the life of a house- Hee DISBARMENT PROCEEDINGS.

The Revolutionists, haw ing no more aristocrats left to kill, split wp in factions and began to kill each other, The Reign of Terror eet in. ‘The most violent and bloodthirsty of all the factions was known as the Jacobin | party.

She listened to the Gtrondists’ tales of wrongs and was admitted to their plot to overthrow Marat. Whether sho was actually chosen by them to kill Marat cannot De known, An- other version of the affair says she joined in the conspiracy becduse Marat bad condemned to death the man she loved. In any case Charlotte journeyed to Paris, having calmly resolved to murter the Jacobin leader and thus (as she delfeved) to end the Reign of Terror. Noth- ing in all her gentle, uneventful past had given a hint of her ability to perform 0 bloody a deed. It 1s hard to understand how she brought nerself to such a resolution, except that a wave of mistaken patriotism swept away every natural emotion, Phrenologists eay she had “the ekull of a born murderei If eo, thi trait had never before developed in her.

He was lying in a bathtub, swathed in towele—chis being the only way he could find relief from the mortal disease that was already hurrying him to the grave.

Marat eelzed the tat A Girl's croaking: Mad Deed. “They shall dle, every one of them!” bata tescaladaincao hated As he spoke Charlotte threw herself upon the unsuspect~ |4ng man and stabbed him to death.

She was hurried to prigon and thence to jail. When the Judges asked what she had to say in her own defense, the girl answered: “Nothing, except that T was successful, She was condemned, and on July 17 was guillotined. When her head was struck off the executioner held {t up for the crowd to see and he struck the pallid cheek with his clenched fist. A gasp went up from the whole assemblage.
