right way with some grown up person to
guide and interest them in the enterprise.
Another quicker but more expensive
means would be to raise the earth with
pulley; or an ingenious individual could
devise some home made method of letting
down conveyance of some sort attached
to rope, and raising it filled with dirt
placed therein b. some one stationed below.
When the earth on the roof is an accom-
plished fact, it can be put either in boxes
or in beds bricked up for the purpose.
Rough soap or starch boxes would cost
nothing, unless coat of dark green or red
paint was applied, which process would
not be expensive.
Seeds of the various hardy ANIMALS should
then be sowed. These come in little pack
cts, and if bought in a quantity from whole
sale seed growers can be had for a very
small outlay, those of some of the prettiest
blossoms costing only a few pennies an
ounce. Pansies, nasturums, mfgnonette,
common pInks, heliotrope, balsam, petunias
marigolds and q dozen others grow quickly
from seed and are all lovely in themselves.
Geraniums, scarlet, white or pink, single
or double. are very cheap and effective, and
no amount of sun can iniure them.
Hanging baskets, jars and pots filled with
vines and creepers would be pretty and
novel feature, every additional plant in
creasing the shade and GOODNESS.
The sowing of the seeds and the care Of
the plants later would furnish endless joy
and occupation to children of the house.
The beds or boxes could be arranged
around the edge of the roof on all sides,
and there might be a large center piece of
plants.

Pleasure Grounds Laid Out
on Top of Tenement and
Apartment Houses.

The all-important question of how to
keep cool again presents itself to the vast
number of people whose duties compel them
to remain shut up in the city durin G the hot
months.
A feasible plan In answer to this ques-
tion, and one being more and more put into
practice, is the home roof garden.
Nor need this sky garden be such an ex-
pensive luxury if undertaken by practical
person of an economic turn of mind Such
an oasis in the midst of dry and torrid
metropolis can be arranged at a very small
outlay.
The idea is particularly applicable to the
small apartment houses, once private dwell
ings. or the tenement house especially the
better class of such
The first consideration is an iron fence or
railing to insure safety for the occupants.
A great many buildings are already pro-
vided with such protection.
Then the mould in which to plant the
flowers and shrubs must be hoisted. This
could be accomplished very slowly by car
rying it up in pals or other receptacles,
and would furnish goodly amount of
amusement and occupation to the children

have to be taken that every article was
held in place, or some windy night possibly
part of the belongings might capsize.
Benches, rustic in design, or simple
wooden packing cases touched up, would
form an important part of the stationary
equipment, and an awning OF rough cheap
canvas would add greatly to the comfort
and beauty of this outdoor conservatory.
This covering could be tied on or taken off
at will and so. removed during windy or
stormy weather.
As it would be a haven of rest for the
weary man OF the family, home from the
heat and turmoil of the days work, 1t
would be resorted to at night by them,
when lamps or lanterns could be hung up,
and the masculine element could smoke
and take iced tea or other cool beverages
there, or even have supper served under
the awnings sometimes, by way of treat
While on Sunday it would be shady spot
to rest in and read the paper or books when
the little folks usually entrusted to the
men of the family on the seventh day go
for walk.
And what respite it would be for the
tired and overheated womankind OF the
household to bring their sewing, or even to
mount on high to this inviting green spot
and occasionally sit absolutely idle for q
while.
If the roof garden was arranged on an
apartment OF tenement house, the expense
could be shared by both landlord and
tenants, thus reducing the individual out
lay to small portion. and one found well
worth the cost.
Then if the householders are thrifty, all
the appointments, awnings, tables, benches,
lamps and the rest, could be carefully stored
away for another season, when the charges
could be greatly lightened. Even the flower
seeds could be gathered, which process,
apart from the economy of the scheme,
would afford pleasure to the children, who
dearly love to potter about and make them
selves useful, especially under the super
vision of some one grown up.
Such a garden could be made veritable
playground for the children. Hammoeks
could be hung on frames aud light swings
