One of the long cherished schemes of patriotic societies in New Ysrk baa been to convert Into park the old Alexander Hamilton estate, and through the action of provement, the park is likely soon to be come a reality.

Ail uii -mains or tne original estate Is a tract 170 feet ly 195, on the west side of Convent avenue, between 142d and 143d streets. On the other side of tbe street Is the old bouse stlli known aa Hamilton Grange. It Is In an excellent state of preservation. Tbe new park will be called Hamilton Grange Park. It will be laid oat with the purpose of making the old" bouse the central point of the landscape effect.

About $10,000 will be required to transform tbe grounds into HOUSES IN SOLID PIECE. Concrete Construction Latest Wrinkle In the Modern Home. A norel plan of housebuilding has made Its sppearance In some of tbe suburbs, says the New York World. The usnal way has been, to build a house out of stone, brick or wood, tn pieces which are mortared or nailed and can be sectionally taken apart.

Under tbe new plan a house la all ooe piece, and after a few days' exposure the wails are like solid rock. The material osed Is concrete. Every ooe has seen the way tn which tas workmen jo the subway mixed their concrete to make the lining and filling for the tunnel. In the new method of building boose walls the ecnerete la mixed In much like manner and poured Into a mold. Beginning with Lhs fonndatloa the mold is raised foot by foot as the concrete is poured in and hard Mas, when the roof Is reached, tbe whole wall Is solid mass.

Holes are left for the doors and windows dnrinc tbe construction. Tbe system is cheaper than stone or brick, snd st the present price of lumber and shingles than wood, unless the wooden hocna ks fiimsily constructed. Its advantage Is also 1s permanency In painting and repairs. Tbe concrete of which the walls are boilt Is more cheaply mixed than the concrete used for subway work, where there has to bs a constant jar and more tensile strength required. Tbe proportions on snbway work were almost half cement to half fine gravel and sand- On house work ooe part of ce ment to seven or eight parts of gravel or crushed stone insures a strong wall, if prop erly mad and set, and if a coating of best qnattty ronjua nmein is wasucu uct vuw ootslde.

I When gravel, small stones snd sand are readily accessible and cheaply to be had. as they are In almost, all of New York's suburbs, the expense of a concrete ttobee for the cement. This can be lessened by using the cheaper grades of Ro-scndaJe cement for the main walls and tastn; the mors expensive Portland cement only as a wash. If plenty of suitable stones have been found In digging the. cellar they may be rsed for the foundation, or the concrete ccTstrneUon may begin from the founda tion trench and continue slowly to the roof.

The molds are either wood or metal, with a boHow core. Tie object of the core la to save material withoot loss of strengtn. and to provide for an air circulation within the Hollow concrete walls are cooler is the summer and warmer In the winter than solid atone or brick wall. Walla made in -this manner mir rlir-d any color both Inside snd oat by coloring the Portland cement wash, in citi run not wear off, as It ts part of the wall. F'oor beams are set tn the concrete as tn a- brick or stone wan Window doors and frames are Inserted ss now.

i 'Several of these concrete booses have bees ornamented In a nsvel way by scnliv tor friends of the owueis. The material is almost ss soft as day when first pat up. It can readily be modeled Into faces, figures, scroll-work or any kind af design. Skillfully done this concrete modeling gives the effect of stone earring at a small fraction of ths expenssv CASTOR I A lor Infants and Children, Thi Kind You Hare Alwajs Bongbt Bears the B1gnrnreof FRED0NIA NEWS.

It was only a tiny kitten of maltese and white tints, which had wandered from Its home to explore the earth, as kittens will. and now. cold and wet, had sought shelter from tbe snow tinder a step with no less than live small boys and two fox-terriers Inspecting It.

The boys poked it with their fingers and the on terriers barked at It. going within foar or five Inches of its tiny dawa and then backing away delighted at the pluck which made tbe atom attempt to defend Itself. It was a kitten with what glrla caH "rote" ways, and It made, such an attractive picture of self-defence, with Its arched back and fluffy tall, that young man sauntering np the street with a girl stopped to gaxe. "Whose kitten Is It?" he asked the largest of the bora, taking a stick ont of that yonng person'a hands with which he was diligently adding to the troubles of the stray er. "It hasn't any home," replied the youngster.

"Seems to me to be lost." The yonng man hesitated a moment. Then he picked up the small furry animal, wiped off its feet with his handkerchief and put It In the big pocket of his smart overcoat. The girl with him looked on sgbast. "What will yon do with It at Mrs. Blank's i tea'?" she demanded.

"Have the maid take it Into the kitchen to keep warm. I'm going to take it boms with me after that. I couldn't rest easy in my bed If I left as yonng an animal ont i all night," responded this knightly youth. and then he went on up Charles street with the mischiervooa face of the kitten peeping ont of bis pocket, to tbe great amusement of the populace.

HOW PORT ARTHUR GETS FOOD. The medium-sized northern Chinese junks ma te first-class blockade runners, writes a correspondent of the London Times. They are built very low in the water, with the decks almost awash when loaded, so that only the bow and stem rise noticeably above the water line. They are strong, flat-bottomed, and of unpainted, dirty wood, with no bright colors about them. Propelled by from ten to twenty oarsmen, if the sails fail, they glide through the water with no noise or smoke, and are very difficult of detection.

Dodging along the shore and among numerous islets, which extend from the Shan-Tung peninsula across the month of Pechi-li Gulf, they closely resemble the low brown rocks, and daring the past months hundreds of them have evaded the Japanese watchers and carried tons of fresh provisions and vegetables to the beleaguered Port Arthur garrison. DIVORCE AND OCCUPATIONS. There has always been a lower percentage of divorces among men engaged in agricultural pursuits than in, any other calling, not excepting the clergy. Soldiers, sailors and marines, on the other extreme, show the highest average of marriage infelicity. Next among the high averages come the hostlers, the actors, agricultural laborers, bartenders, servants and waiters, musicians and teachers of music, photographers, paper-hangers, barbers, lumbermen, and so on, diminishing in ratio until the lowest average Is reached, as before stated among the farmers.
