After reaching the north end of the lower floor, we were so interested
Central Park wc passed over to Biv in the story of his antics told by Louis
erside Park overlooking the Hudson Podge in the November Schribners
and the Palisades and stopped at that we here transcribe it;
Grant’s tomb, which stands out con
spicuously from far up the river and
rising 280 feet above it. The build-’ ehce ia felt chiefly at the wonderful
height,'being surmounted by a circu-
> Jar cupola. InBide one finds flags
and materials of all kind connected
with General Grant’s career and
through a large circular opening in
the floor one looks down into the
crypt and sees the sarcapl^agus of
polished porphyry in which the re
mains of the great Union leader re
pose.
Riverside drive itself is one of the
show places of the city, many.roads
wandering up and down its slopes and
extending three miles along the river,
Sir Henry Irving pronounced it
the most magnificent residential av
enue in the world. Here we find Col
umbia University, in which we once
remember having met John Ton-ey,
one <X the patriarchs of American
Botany; and again the two-million
dollar residence of Charles M.
Schwab, the head of'the steel trust.
Going back another way we see
some of the wholesale streets of New
York
Trinity church and wan
street, with the United State.^ub-
treasury and other famous buildings,
which have been damaged by a bomb
explosion since we last vteitedI them.
We abo pass an old and rather
lapidated three story brick house, in
which President Monroe used to live
and the antiquated tavern where
George Washington put up when he
came to New York.
Of course, we went to see the
Aquarium at the point of the Bat
tery Park, where the ocean’s tide laps
the feet of New York and from which
we look over to Bedloe’s Island at
the statue of “Liberty Enlightening
the World.” Since we saw it last the
Aquarium has become a two-'tory
structure—or rather there are tanks
in two stories. The building Hwlf is
the old Castle Garden of our boyhood
in which Jenny Lind, “the Swedw
nightingale.” thrilled the New York
of two generations ago.
The number of varieties of sea fish
shown here is the greater

We Have It
The Laundry
The public laundry is inevitable,
necreaary, desirable, and has come to
stay. With the growth in number and
business of the public laundries has
come a study by th. associations of
laundry owndh of the science of
laundering.' Th. laundry subjects th.
fabrics to no rougher usage than the
home laundress dore and usually gets
the fabrics cleaner.
The user injures many fabrics so
that a trip to the laundry merely
serves to bring out the injury. Stick
ing pins into cloth usually breaks a
few fibres, which later give way dur
ing washing arid start a hole. Catch
ing a shirt waist on a rough place in
the furniture, or bod linen on the
corner of a spring, will cause a small
tear or weaken a few fibres, which
even gentle laundering will break and
use ss a start of a tear or a hole.
Cutting bread on the tablecloth or
drawing a knife edge or fork prongs
over the tablecloth and napkins
causes almost invisible injuries which
the*laundry is sure to make visible.
Occasionally the fabric Itself is ati
fault. The thread in one direction
may be excellent, but in the "filling’’
may be paper or other inferior ma
terial. Knotted threads in the second
quality of fabrics cause trouble as the
knots stand out and get rough treat
ment in use or in ironing, tearing the
thread and starting a fault which sub
sequent laundering accentuates.'Cloth
may be improperly dyed so that the
chemicals used or the process of dye
ing weakens the cloth appreciably.
The laundryman causes damage in
some cases, but usually the fault is
with the fabric or with the use to
.which it has been subjected.—Albert
Parsons 8achs In the New York Ev
ening Mail.
