Stupendous a.s the work of reclaiming the ineadows and 1 reaches of East Cap May, according to tire plans of the Cap May Keal Estate Company, may seen to the ordinary iniud, o- aocus omed to the execu'ion of like great projects, it is not regarded as anything unusual or dillicult by a man of such indefatigable

ed

Fliun of Pittsburg. It is related of him that a few years ago the owner of a wild piece of property which seemed to be beyond the power or skill of man to bring into usefulness or profit, approaches! Mr. Fbnn. The latter examined the tract thoroughly, then made the proposition to the owner that If he would give him one half in'erest be would set b ■ work and improve the whole. It was accepted, and the section is now one of' the most desirable suburbs of 1‘ittsburg. and both men have reaped great profitfrom its development. The way is now fully and clearly open for the furtherance and completion of the project which is to make, as it were, a paradise out of a desert. Those who carefully examined the printed plan of the improvement which appeared in last week's issue of this paper can read ily form a correct idea of the great change that is to be made and the coming beauty and attractiveness of the entire track Engineering skill, backed 1 by human energy and unlimited capital, can work out the most difficult problems of this sort with comparative While conversing the other day with Charles Church, a first-class mechanic and a gentleman having ripe experience as a builder, he took occasion to oiler what he considered would be an improvement over the proposed plan of boardwalk extension, and suggested tiiat it would be a grand thing to build a iMiarriwalk from Madison avenue to Sewell's i’oint not less than sixty feet wide, as a grard promenade, bordered 1 with business establishments instead of a driveway. The line avenues throughout the tract would tie sufficient after clearing the drive lielow Madison avenue. And we believe his suggestion one worthy of attention, even to the extent of changing present plans.

Love Ol the Home Town, is generally conceded that the children who entertain the deepest love for the home town grow up Into most useful members of society. But no child can have much love for “the old town" If he or she is unacquainted with its history. It haa eomo be accepted as a reproach that while the average bright child of a dozen years Is able to reel off glibly everything worth knowing and a great deal not worth knowing about every country under the sun he is apt to find himself beyond his depth when he Is asked the simplest question about the history of his own township or village or city, as the case may be. A plan which makes for familiarity with the history of one’s home and which may be easily adapted with the necessary modifications to this or to any other progressive community Is being tried with great success by the New York Times to commemorate the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of New York's incorporation as a city. The Times has offered a large number of prizes and medals to pupils of the public schools. The pupils are required to write essays hosed upon « series of seven articles printed by the Times from the pen of an authority da the subject treated. Teachers of the classes from which the successful pupils come are also to be awarded premiums. It will be readily seen how easily this plan might be adapted to the schools of any locality. Public spirited citizens will certainly see that the rewards In any Such competition Inaugurated by the teachers shall be commensurate with the effort put
