Masterpieces in Flower Gardening.

Masterpieces in Flower Gardening.
Florist Ettore Tassinari has completed
his designs at the Danvcrs Hospital for
the season, and they are doubtless un-
surpassed by any in this part Of the
country. The flower beds arc on the grcat
lawn at the front of the buildings, fac
ing west, and are daily visited by
scores.
The principal design is similar to that
oflast year, Chinese pagoda seventeen
and half feet high, surrounded by a
dome seven feet high, supported by six
pillars, and made of house leeks. In
the centre is tiny fountain. The Gil
conference at the base is nearly seventy
feet. and the base is made oil altcrnan-
thera, echeverria and other bedding
plants. On the front is calendar, with
wear, month, day of month and day of
week in separate boxes which are changed
from day to day and month to month.
On the reverse side is all American
shield and crossed flags of red, white
and bl he plants aud flowers and border
of different color. An archway seven
feet high is made under the design, and
is lined with growing plants and flowers
The floor is paved, and two fountains are
in operation. Over thirty kinds of bed
plants are used in the design and it is u
very fine exhibition. photographs have
been taken of it.
The next in importance and beauty is

scientific principle, which accurately
tells the time of day. 1t is in the form
of horseshoe and the Roman numerals
are arranged in the rim of the shoe. A
pole pointing north, ut an angle of forty
seven degrees, casts a shadow on the
numbers. The pole is made of growing
houseleeks, and the bed is made of the
same and other low plants.
There are twenty or thirty other beds
about the buildings in designs of stars,
crescents, etc., and al are very hand
some. The lawns are beautiful and the

BURNED TO DEATH.
Two Little Ones Lose Their Lives from
a Servants Carclcssness.


One of tho camp cottages at Mt. Tabor,
Denville, N. j., was burned to the ground
and two children were burned to death.
The cottage belonged to the Rev. MIR.
McCuskie, Baptist minister of Newark,
who, with his wife and five children, were
occupying the dwelling during the camping
season. A servant started the fire with kerr
oscne, which exploded and almost immedi-
ately the house was in flames.
Mr.. McCuslie was away from home at
the time, and Mrs. McCuskie with her chill
dren. was in bed asleep. The servant gave
the alarm and Mrs. McCuskio sprang out Of
bed and attempted to rescue her children.
They were all asleep and she was forced to
carry them out one by one. She succeeded
in getting three Of them out but in doing SO
she almost lost her own life. Her face was
scorchei and all her hair was burned from
her head. Notwithstanding this the heroic
woman went back after her other little ones.
She was powerlcss to aid them. The flames
burnt SO iiercely and rapidly that they were
soon burned to DEATH Tie children were
aged and years respectively. There was
fire eXtinguisher in the house, but it was
out of order and would not work
The people in the camp quickly rushed TO
the rescue and did all they could to extin-
cuish the fire, but the supply of water gave
out and the house burned to the ground.
The charred bodies of the two little children
were found in the ruins Mrs. McCuSkle is
crazel with grief and the entire camp is i'll
mourning.

The Cnre of n Cold.

A cold is n departure from health
ind should really be attended to at
once Do not let it euro itself. Get
lid OF it Mt once. Do feed it, though,
but starve it. One cold after another
nearly always ends in thickening of the
mucous membrane of the bronchial
tubes, and before you are aware you
become the victim of winter cough.
The morning tub (cold, I mean) is o
very sure preventative of colds. Never
overclotho or overhead yourself. The
neck should be kept cool. Keep AWAY
from fires indoors if you aro subject to
colds. Cough, if not the result Of SIM
pie laryngeal OF bronchial catarrh, may
mean q very serious departure from
health; and the sooner one sees doctor
in such o case the better. Do not DO
afraid to consult him. Remembe1 it is
only those that delay who suffer in the
end.
Getting thin is another serious de-,
pnrture from health One generally,
does lose weight in the winter and re-,
gain it in summer, but slow and.
steady decrease in weight calls aloud
for medical interference. Want Of sleep
and restless nights are things which
cannot be overlooked. The cause must
be found and removed The trouble
may certainly arise from overwork and
worry combined, but in most cases the
stomach and digestive systems are the
roots of the evil. Nervous people worry
most, but they also work most. Well, |
The question one is inclined to ask him.

iure You very much; but, on the other
hand if it is homework, and you find
little pleasure in it, then it will tell on

by breathing only fresh air night and
day, indoors and out, and by careful
regulation of the diet. In conclusion,
let me cntreat OF you, ms you value

The Chicago Times, referring to the
snow blockade on the Northwestern
says:
"The snow blockade in Dakota is
lifted. The first train through to Pierre
arrived there yesterday"
To which the Bismarck Tribune sub
mits the following sensible comment:
Snow blockade in Dakota lifted" is
good. The casual outside reader would
infer from the above that Dakota had
but one railroad and hat that had been
.blockaded for a long time. Why, bless
your soul, Mr.. Times, it is only a spur
of Dakota's 1900 miles of railroad that
runs out to Pierre. The railroads in
Dakota are not blockaded. The Times
must have got Maine, New Hampshire
and New York confounded with Dakota.
BY the way, Mr.. Times, do you know
that Dakota has more miles of complet-
ed railroad than any other state or ter
ritory except Illinois, Iowa, PennsyI-
yania, New York, Ohio, Texas. Kansas,
Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Minnesota
and Wisconsin? Just think of it-Da-

In Brief, And To The Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe to
good nature. The human digestive APP
paratus is one of the most complicated
and wonderful things in existence. 1t
is easily put out Of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
irregular habits, and many other things
which ought not to be, have made the
American people a nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done a
wonderful work in reforming this sad
business and making the American peo-
pie so healthy that they can enjoy their
meals and be happy.
Remember:-No happiness with out
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the
dyspeptic. Ask your druggist for a bot
tie. Seventy-five cents.

A LESSON FROM MATURE.
How to Cure Cold.
UBJECT IN WHICH WE ARE ALL MORE

How to Ourea Cold.
A SUBJECT IN WHICH WE ARE L MORE
ORLESS INTERESTED.
To cure a cold quickly it must be
properly treated as soon as the first
symptoms appear. Do you know the
first symptoms? if not, you will un-
doubleday remember having them at
numerous times and that YOU did not
consider them at all serious or even
worthy Of your attention. They are
a dry loud cough, a thin white coating
on the tongue and a profuse watering
discharge from the nose. Any one or
more of these symptoms is natures way
OF telling people they have taken cold,
and gives them ample time to cure it
within two days if they desire to. The
free use of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy will restore the system to a healthy
condition within that time. If however
the cold is neglected and allowed to
become settled in the system several
days or even a week may be required
to effect a cure, as nature must then
take its curse and all that can be done
is to aid nature in freeing the system of
the cold, which is best accomplished by
using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
1t Will open the secretionS and loosen
and relieve the cold in less time than
any other medicine or treatment; it
seems to undermine a cold and to COM
pletely eradicate it from the system, as
evidence of It's superior e~Xcellance, we
refer to the following testimonials Of
people well known and respected at
their several places of residence.
The general expression of those who
