EeautY Is Utility.

beauty lB OIiiiCy.
Does it pay to cultivate flowers, or
namental trees and shrubs and make
the surroundings Of farm home at
tractive?
A farmer should plant only such
trees and shrubs as are useful. AS
for flowers, of what use are they?
We often hear the useful and orna-
mental contrasted as if they were the
antipodes of comparison. Anything
that ministers to our physical needs is
useful. Anything that does not afford
food or shelter may be beautiful, but
if it is not essential to our existence it
is of no particular use, so we are told.
What things are essential to our
existence? We find ourselves subject
to certain laws. We are hungry and
must eat, thirsty and must drink, cold
and must be warmed. We comply
with these laws and we exist. But ''it
is not all Of life to live." If it were,
we would be no better than the "beasts
that perish" We have higher ma
ture that demands attention. We have
no more right to neglect or starve it
than we have to abuse our bodies.
Potatoes and cabbages are excellent
things to have in the garden, but there
are more snitable plants for the front
yard. Let us plant trees for protec-
tion, shade and ornament. They will
serve also as homes for our friends,
the birds, who cheer US with their
merry songs while they guard our
orchards and gardens from injurious
insects.
Trees should be carefully selected
and planted so that they will hot en-
tirely shut out the purifying, health
giving sunshine.
We occasionally see home fairly
buried in trees, so that moisture col
lects on the walls and musty atmo-
sphere pervades the place. But the
owner who has plante,, and tenderly
watched the growth of the trees can
rarely be persuaded to remove even
one. TO-
Groups of trees are fine for shade.
But let them be removed space from
the house. Pines may be planted in
circle, the lower limbs trimmed away
on the inside as the trees grow, MAX
ing lovely summer house carpsted
and rooted with fragrant pine needles.
Here one may swing in hammock
and enjoy book after the days work
is done; or the children may spread
their lunch and play house"
Ornamental shrubs may be planted
where q tree would be out of place.
They may screen an unsightly view;
but they should not be scattered pro-
miscuously about the yard. A we'll
kept lawn is always beautiful, but one
besprinkled with shrubs and flower
beds is not always. When laying out
flower beds in the spring, we must
consider our time and strength as well
as our love for flowers. We are tempt
ed to plant more in May than we can
cultivate in July. Often n bed of cut
flowers in corner of the kitchen gar
den will afford more real satisfaction
than elaborate designs.
Trees, shrubs and flowers, if we'll
chosen and tastefully arranged, in
crease our happiness by making home
life more enjoyable, and are, there
fore, in the highest sense useful

Gentlemen-If others have been helped
by Paines celery compound as decidedly as
in my case l do not wonder at the enthu-
siastic testimonials this remedy is con-
stantly receiving. II l had never heard a
word as to Its remarkable invigorating
capability, I. could unhesitatingly recon-
mend 1t from my own experience. As a
fact, many Of my professional friends have
been urging me to try Paine's celery COM
pound. 1t proved to be the very thing my
tired system needed to overcome the ex-
hausting effects OF close application to stage
work. I am recommending 1t to all my
