TRANSPLANTED TREES.
How They Should Be Cared for I'm the
Summer.
Meehan's Monthly.

Meehan's Monthly.
In the earth in which vegetation is grow
ing We can find no water, in the popular
sense of the term; but the particles Of
earth hold moisture. which can be extract
ed and condensed as liquid by the roots of
plants. How this is done 40 one knows ex-
actly, but the wonderful fact remains that
trees growing in ground comparatively dry
will fill their tissues with immense quanti-
ties of liquid, which is given off by the
leaves to the atmosphere daily, to be con-
tinually replenished from the moisture
stored in the earth particles below. To
take advantage of this store of moisture
the roots must be in actual contact with
these particles The great effort of the
successful tree planter is to pulverize the
earth as finely as possible, for the reason
that the finer the particles the greater the
amount Of moisture afforded; and because
the finer the particles the more closely
packed 1T can be around the finer roots.
Water, in itself, is an injury to plants.
Plants suffocate If the water lie around
the roots for few days in the growing
season. All that Is needed is enough to
saturate the particles. of matter, without
driving the air from spaces between the
pulverfzed particles. We can see from this
that watering newly transplanted trees
may be an injury. as often it may be a
benefit. If tree transplanted In the early
part of the season that has pushed into
leaf show signs of whiting in warm wealth
er, when surrounding vegetation shows no
such whiting, the inference is that there is
quite enough moisture in the soil, but that
it is out of contact with the roots. 1t may
have been wet weather, and the soil was
too pasty to pulverize properly In this
case a beating down with a heavy ram
mer-a paving hammer even, If 1t can be
had, is Of more Importance than watering
would be. The watering does not bring the
roots into closer connection with the earth.

SONS I often wish that had an image of
1t to make me happy for month instead
of for an hour. The flowers, with the sun
upon them, what faint shadow of their
beauty Is any painting on a wall! Stained
glass alone, one would say, could render
them. Stained glass in any originality of
design is too expensive for the ordinary
purse. We hesitate to attempt anything
ambitious or costly in our rented houses,
or our hired flats, in our modern nomadic
existence.
The other day saw in friends house
a curtain that answered many of my
wishes in regard to flowers. The outlook
of the window where the curtain hung was
not lovely The view was of other peoples
windows set in their brick walls. with oc-
casional glimpses of those neighbor-folk
going UP and down their stairs. So q cur
tain to conceal that we also went up and
down stairs was imperative.
When the sun was so minded 1t sent a
broad shaft of sunlight into that window.
Across the lower paneS was sash curtain
of blue denim or blue felt, something rather
opaquely blue. Flung bodily against this
background was such spray of nastur-
tiums as l had not seen since summer
time. On examining them closely I saw
that they were of yellow and red silk
which had been appliqued on, and then the
background had been cut away from be-
hind the silk. The leaves and stems were
represented there also in appropriate COL
ors transparent silks. The veins and
splotches of color on the blossoms were
done In embroidery silks. 1t was not much
trouble to do, my friend said; Ii had
whiled away a few warm hours last sum-
mer.
How many charming possibilities for
that may be varied by skill and taste al
most indefinitely. The stiff and stately

lion, the flower spray-everything and any,
thing one most desires-can be fashioned in
such curtains. The more poster-like the
design the easier will be its successful ex-

fashioned in silk as one wall of a kings

CoEDUcATIoN aUARRELs.
Small Prejudices Manifest in Some OF
the Eastern Colleges.
New York Post.

New 1OFk ROSt-
Perhaps the most significant thing in
connection with the discussion Of coeduca-
ton which has been stirred I'D by the
action OF the students at Wesleyan Univer-
sity and the University of Pennsylvania,
Is the favorable attitude OF the press. Thir-
ty years ago the idea of coeducation would
scarcely have been tolerated in the Eastern
States by those organs Of public opinion
which are to-day championing the cause
OF ambitious young women. The Pennsyl-
vania freshmen recently held 81 meeting
for the purpose of uniting with the other
classes in an effort to check the spread Of
coeducation at that institution. The Phil
adelphia Ledger does not hesitate to brand
this action as "unmanly," and goes on to
ask pertinently. why should the young
women be excluded? What harm do they
do? Is not education as necessary for them
as for young men? Is association with
them In studies degrading or harmful in
any way Do they lower the moral. social.
or literary tone OF the university" In
stead OF setting about to answer these SEN
eible questions, the seniors, at their class
meeting. with ostrich-like cunning. adopted
a resolution TO exclude all mention OF
women students from the class record.
They might we'll have taken a leaf out of
the Cornell Era, which said. in its last is

OF university coeducation, whether IL is a

ists) Is 10 keep the relations OF the men
and women on a rational natural basis. a
condition under which problems will work
out their own solution"
The coeducational controversy is not con-
fined TO student bodies. The board of trus-
tees Of Cornell University have decided
that. while women may take advantage OF
the courses offered by that institution, they
may not hope to become members OF its
faculty. As a result OF this action Miss
Louise Sheffield Brownell has resigned her
position as warden OF Sage College. When
she took Office IL was with the stipulation
that she should be allowed TO teach as well,
and the executive committee OF the board
OF trustees appointed her assistant pro-
fessor OF English literature. The full
board has now decided that women shall
not be eligible TO faculty positions. and II

The other day said, if remember right
ly, that by the details of ones costume one
could keep In the fashion sufficiently to
pass muster, and that costume, If it be
not pronouncedly conspicuous. could be rem

To stamp yourself and your gown a la
mode this summer be sure to include in
your wardrobe at least one dress that has
the double sleeve. The outer sleeve should
be set into the shoulder fatty, with very
few gathers, fitted loosely to the upper arm,
but fiaring away from the elbow and cut
short enough to reveal the dainty puff of
lace, muslin, chiffon, or what you will that

band to suggest a real or simulated under

many as you can afford, should be counted
in your outfit, for you can ring many
changes in your costume with these. But
If you do not favor the. corselet-for 1t is
not becoming to all figures-have a LAig-
lon sash, the new sash that is drawn close
ly about the waist and fastened at the left
or right side, the pointed or fringed end
six or seven inches long, according to your
height. OF course, If you prefer long sash,
IL will be equally fashionable, as all sashes
are in great favor. But the black satin
sash with short fringed ends is little
more modish, as Nine. Sarah Bernhardt
has made II famous in Rostands latest
play. Another feature that is new is the
Napoleonic collar that appears on many OF
the imported boleros. 1t rises to the hair
behind, and then turns down broadly,
showing the large lapels of a century ago.
Lace Jackets will help to vary costume
also, and remember to get all accessories
with color harmony well in view. For this
reason 1t is much more economical to have
one color scheme for the season. as has
been suggested. With the details men,
toned ones outfit will pass as being quite
up-to-date, though 1t may be neither ex-

Wales and His Opera Glass.
London Letter.

OF the recent dinners none was more
striking than the banquet given at the
Hotel Cecil, Monday evening last, by the
British Empire League in honor of the CO.
lonial troops in South Africa and of the
Australian Federation delegates, when the
Prince of Wales made his first public ap-
pearance after the attempt to assassinate
him. AS he rose to reply to toast he re-
ceived tremendous ovation. He was un-
usually pale, and the nervous tone in which
he said. I'VE are all in the hands Of God, y
betrayed the intense emotion he was under
going. But as the gorgeous banquet pro-
ceeded Great Britain's future King re-
gained that geniality for which he is dis
tinguished, and mirthful laughter prevailed
at the royal table. His Royal Highness
also, on this occasion, inaugurated a GUS
tom which may become popular at large
public dinners where the guests are so nu-
merous that they can scarcely recognize
each other. With his coffee and cigars the
Princes special attendant brought him q
huge pair of field glasses, with which he
carefully scrutinized the long tables and

And set the bondman free
