EW YORK CITY is eur rounded by sparkling salt tidewater, yet a majority of the population derive their ideas of the seaside principally from Battery Park, the recreation piers or the ferryboats. It is swept by ocean breezes, yet on a Saturday or Sunday you might imagine there was no way to get a breath of fresh air except by = 5 jamming into a trolley car wee or elevated train and go- ing to Coney Island. Free baths are opened for a few weeks during the summer, and there is freat rejoicing among the small percentage of the population who get into them. But there is no danger that Manhattancse will be- come web-footed from frequenting the swimming-tanks. All the time the ocean breezes—which constitute the real at traction of Coney or any beach—are blowing up the bay, or the mountain breezes down the North River, and hardly anybody knows it, because to find out it is necessary to go up on the roofs, There area few theatre and hotel r » but in effe these are weather-proof, and of no account as outdoor resorts. The new apartment houses that provide roof facilitics for anything besid drying the laundry output are notable exceptions. About the only sections of the city where the vast reof acreage is utilized for health and pleasure to any appreciable extent is in the crowded tenement districts, where necessity has urged it, or) mission settlement work has set the example. In some of the huge | business blocks the janitors or superintendents live with their fam- ilies on or near the roofs, and their acrial hammock-swinging, sleep- | ing cots and children’s playgrounds afford an instructive object les- | son to any observant person who may chance to climb a high tower | end look down upon the life around. | These hints ought sooner or later to impress the builders of our | 5,000,000 metropolis. In Africa and the Orient, as well as in South- | ern Europe, from time immemorial the outdoor life of the people | hae been lived mainly on the roofs. There, as proportionately in| the case here, the narrow, stuffy, canyon-like strects afford avenues for necessary traffic, and that is about all they are good for. SUNFLOWERS. HE sunflower and the golden blows will now replace the summer rose, and gladden the aesthetic sense at very much reduced | expense. The glows with starry brightness fill the gardens of Commuterville. The sunflower rivals, at its best, the target at the Schuetzen fest. These yellow fellows, in their season, bring many a sordid soul to reason. They have the laugh on all whose creed condemns the | sunflower as a “weed.” BEER AND BEERAGE. if and, you know, they have a titled nobility of beer, called the Beerage, Statisticians have figured | out that there is one Peer | to every 2,000,000 gallons | of beer, | In this country, notwith- standing the fact that we are supposed to spend §81,000,000,000 annually in Yibations to Gambrinus, are actually = muck- nz the brewers, | Secretary Wilson, of the Government’s Department of Agriculture, having expressed the opinion that the people of the United States know less about beer than about any other subject except whiskey, the pure food and drink detectives of Dr. Harvey W Wiley’s Board of Inspection are busying themselves with the ques tion, What is beer?
