ROADSIDE ADORNMENT.
Much Attention Paid to This Matter in
the Republic of France.

the Republic of France.
In France road Is not considered COM
pleted, even though it be of the most per-
feet construction, until proper attention
has been given to the trees and shrubs
which grow along the side. There are
two reasons for this-to please the eye
and to lessen the cost of repairs.
Hedges and rows of trees are planted
Systematically along the roadsides. They
are pleasing to the eye, afford shade for
man and beast and protect the roadbed
IRON the softening and melting of the
materials of which the roads are con-
structed in the summer and the deteriora-
tons produced by the cold in winter. In
fact, they do the service of a parasol in
summer and of an umbrella in winter.
for the water that is not absorbed and
blown over by the leaves Is utilized by
the roots" The hedgerows retain in
position the loose ground on the sides
away from the road and form a sort of
wall for one side or the cutters, which
are usually dug near their roots.
Trees, however, require considerable
care at first, and it is continued. though
gradually lessened, until they are ten
years old. For three or four years after
planting the ground around them is dug
up and turned so that air and moisture
can penetrate to the roots in both spring
and fall, and then for three or four years
more it is done only in the spring.
Young trees are also frequently sprln-
killed..
Each year, about the end of February.
the trees and hedges are cleaned of the
nests of harmful animals and vermn and
dead parts, which are burned up. In
May and August the young branches
which rise much above the general sum.
nit of the trees are trimmed of, and in
the fall there is a general pruning, while
from time to time, about once in three
years, general cutting takes place so as
to give vigor and abundant sap to new
growths. Horticulturists are employed
by the government to do the work.

Don't give them tea or coffee. Have
you tried the new food drink called
GRAIN-O? 1t is delicious and nourish-
ing and takes the place of coffee. The
more Grain-O you give the the children
the more health you distribute through
their systems. Grain-O is made of pure
grains, and when properly prepared
tastes like the choice grades of coffee
but costs about as much. All grocers
sell 1t. l5c. and 25c.

SILVER COINAGE CUTS NO FIGURE.

WASHINGTON. June ii.-Assistant Sec
retary Nanderiip was asked today about

gress requiring the coinage OF silver bu,-
