There has been an absolute revolution in the
practice Of medicine and in the treatment Of
human ills. Instead Of undermining the vital
forces by cupping and bleeding, the vitality is
now sustained in every possible manner. In
stead of tearing down we seek 10 build up. In
stead of increasing misery we seek to create
happiness.
But the greatest advancement in medical
science has been made by discovery. Harvey
could afford TO endure the ridicule Of the world
for revealing to il the grand discovery Of the
circulation OF the blood. Jenner might be Ostra-
cized, but millions have benefited by his dis
covery of vaccination. Pasteur lived in more
enlightened age and escaped ridicule, while the
world received the benefit which his discoveries
have brought Koch, although forced TO reveal
his discovery before its perfection, will be re-
vered by future generations

Of untold benefit to the world, and yet they

BUILDING A HOME.
tbs Way to Select Site for Country

The Way to Select n Site for Country
House.
There are no definite rules, Of course,
that will always apply to the selection
of a house. Usually it should not be
placed exactly in the middle of place.
or close to the front, and it should as
sociate itself in some way with some
considerable plantation of trees that
may already exist
/ am speaking of considerations that
must be met in a systematic way, and
more or less in accordance with the
best practice of the art of landscape
gardening. But avoid being too con.
ventionally artistic. Use common
sense, and first of all make your
grounds comfortable and convenient;
then do what you can for the aesthetic.
The latter may, in your opinion, be of
the most Importance, but the former,
be sure. will sooner or later, revenge
itself or you for any undue neglect
am speaking now of all country
places, meaning thereby lot that may
be only twenty-five feet by one hun
dred feet, or may be five or six acres.
In any case you are devising a picture
when you undertake to lay out your
grounds, even in the most simple fash
ion; and any arrangement that will de-
velop and present with the best effect
the most artistically valuable features
should be invariably chosen, though at
first it may seem odd, and not in ac-
cordance with your conventional ideas
of landscape gardening art Any evil
dent attempt at mere oddity, is, of
course, bad, and destructive of the har-
mony of the general arrangement; but
there may be an unusualness of treat
ment that seems odd. though in reality
effective and harmonious, simply be-
cause it is unconventional
Against one thing let me warn the
reader, and that is the indiscriminate
use of formal foliage or flower beds on
most lawns. They are apt to lend q
garish and vulgar air to the place.
Close to the house you may sometimes
use one or two of these beds, but their
bright red and yellow colors should be
set little on one side, and not allowed
TO glare at one too much. l respect
the universal delight in rich color, but
all formal patches of color should be
used carefully and in proper relations
