reds of dollars to the value Of a

no space that will not permit of the
growing of some kind of flower. An
evergreen hedge is not only con-.
trast with other plants growing near,
but it gives a green appearance to
yard or lawn even in winter.
All natural streams over land are
more or less crooked, as they bend
first one way and then another to
avoid Instructions. In making ar
tifcial open bitches there is at first
an almost irresistible tendency to
follow the natural course and simply
deepen it. But after the ditch is
cut, if it is a cultivated fled, the

these should be done briskly
After the exercise, cold sponge bath
should be taken, accompanied by vigorous
rubbing and every other week a cupful
of common salt should be thrown into the
water each day, and when this is used it
must be remembered that soap cannot be
used as the two do not agree.
SIMPLE STIMULATING FOOD.
After dressing slowly breakfast should
be eaten of fresh fruit, grain foods and
eggs or chops, according to ones taste.
AT night, just before retiring, the same
exercise Should be gone through and
sponge wet with alcohol rubbed over the

hot water is soothing and healthy Also as

To give a woman an erect and beautiful
figure, there is no snrer way than to stand
with the hands on the hips as often as
possible, with the abdomen in, and the
chest thrown we'll out. When one is at
home 1t is easy to stand in this way for
several minutes at time, or to walk
about the house SO. IT works like magic,
too, for giving one fine carriage.
1t is, perhaps, unnecessary to add that
all the walking in the open air one can
possibly do, unless it is in the hot sun,
serves to add to ones health and beauty
aud q woman should be out Of doors all
that she possibly can, as nothing brings
the bloom into her cheeks so quickly or so
beautifully as Gods pure air and sun
shine. MARIE JOUREAN.

Union wages, at the rate of So per day

sion was reached yesterday forenoon at a

1t is stated that four of the six vacan-
cies were filled yesterday by the employ
ment OF new men, who are understood to
belong to labor organization, though no
questions were asked by Mr. Laurie
In conversation with a Times reporter
yesterday the superintendent expressed re-
greet that the men had appealed their case
to Mrs. ChiIds. He said they should have
dealt directly with him, and intimated
that it was his duty TO protect her from
such annOyanceS. He did not admit
however, that the question OF wages would
have been adjusted without Mrs. Childs'
interposition.

He laid particular emphasis upon tie
statement that he was paying the addi-
tional 20 cents per day out or his own
pocket, and said the concession was not
required by Mrs. Childs.
Messrs. Hogg and Rose, the two repre-
sentatives OF the Building Trades Council,
were interviewed by the Times, and stated
that there would have been no necessity
OF placing the matter before Mrs. Childs
had the superintendent entertained theiI
proposition. They claim that he rejected
their terms repeatedly. and was angry
when they were proposed. The men whO
left the job on Tuesday claim to- have
proof to sustain the charge that the wors
increase in wages was made by Mrs.
Childs' order.
They express the belief also that if
their side or the controversy can be prop
erly presented to her she viii promptly
direct that union labor be recognized, and
that, if desired by them, the retired work
men Will be reinstated-
