THOUSAND CHILDREN were playing on one of the big open spaces in Central Park the other afternoon. It might have been one of the prettiest of sights. Tt was anything but a pretty sight! Why? Because 10,000 teraps of paper, pieces of pasteboard box, orange peel and ods and ens of luncheon were scattered over every yard of turf under the, youngsters’ feet! The children had lunched. They had hurled papers and rem- | nants in every direction as far as they could throw. Then they romped and raced over a lawn they had turned into a dump. These particular children were in the park by special invitation and atrangement. They were looked after by older people. Why was no effort made to keep them from treating the place like a; dirty back yard? | Every child who visits Central Pack under the care or authority | of an older person should be made to understand that rolling luncheon | teraps and papers into a bundle and carrying them to the proper | receptacle is just as natural and necessary a duty es washing the! dishes at home. Moreover plenty of such proper receptacles should be provided for every playground, and the police should be instructed to eee that they are used. Let us have back the old Sparrow Cops who had at| least some respect for the Park, and who tried to see how much! rather than how little they could do to keep it neat and attractive. 7 THE WORST EVER. | F ANYBODY thought the waiters’ strike was all over and done | with, a meal at almost any of the big hotele or restaurants dur- ing the past few days must have smashed the illusion into smallest atoms. Never in the memory of the oldest inhabitant has the eervice at | some of New York's best known cating places been so unspeakably, | atrociously bad! After exasperating delay guests’ orders are taken Ly stupid, unwilling waiters who often scem unfamiliar with even the names of the dishes they are supposed to serve. The waite are | interminable. When food is finally brought by the omnibus and Placed on the! serving table it stays there indefinitely. The guest sits gazing at his! dinner just out of reach until somebody condescends to set it beforo him, Instantly the dishes are fairly on the table the waiter vanishes completely, and no human effort can unearth him again until paying | and tipping time—the only moment during the entire meal when | ——— he turns up of his own free will and pleasure! If the guest complains to the head waiter he gets only olka | tions, short or elaborate as the case may be, that the kitchen hae only half its regular force and the men on the floor are all new. A number of waiters are said to be getting ready to come here from Europe. If so, the quicker the ‘better. It is perheps unjust te say that the hotel men are not doing the best they can umder tho circumstances, but the fact remains that to dine just now in almost any hotel in this city is to beget incredible weariness and wrath! RS A ES A BRAVE NAME. | N JUNE 24, 1643, after lingering for six days with two carbine balls in his shoulder, died ome of the most famous English patriots whose name has become a synonym for brave protest against injustice and oppression. For three successive years—1694, 1685, 1636—Charles I. of Eng- . land levied upon his subjects one of the most obsolete and odious of taxee—known as Ship Money.’ In much earlier times the monarchs of England had exercised the right to require maritime towns and counties to furnish ships in time of war. Charles did e thing for which there was no precedent. He used the tax to raise money for lie own use in time of peace. One land owner and member of Parliament refused payment. He was brought to trial. Five judges were for him, seven against him. From that moment this landowner and member of Parliament chose to stand steadfastly for the rights of Commons and People against the Crown; and when the rupture with the King burst into civil war, this man fell in the fidtd, stoutly fighting the royal despot in the struggle that later overthrow the Stuarts and made way for modern England. His name was John Henge. Pool NISYCLOPEDIA. eee 167, Why 1a it difioult to woek the Rande cloon in Rard water? 168.
