THE INFLUENCE OF THE LAWN
MOWER.

One mas only to take drive along a
country road to become convinced of
the value of the lawn-mOwer as a hu-
manizing agent. Ten years ago the
rural front yard" was but a mass of
long and tangled grass amid which
few old ia ashoned flowers struggled
feebly for existence. The only con-
cessicn to aesthetics was the semi
occasional and always perfunctory
moving with scythe. and the farm
er's wife had to beg without ceasing
of even that poor favor.
The cheap lawn-mower has changed
all this and the rural homestead that
does not rejoice in neatly Shaven
lawn is the exception. 1t follows
na turaly that the paths must be
trimmed and the flowerbeds weeded
and raked. These improvements but
make more evident the deficiencies in
the garden fence. Result, the replac-
ing of broken palings and fresh coat
OF whitewash. And SO the process of
regeneration goes on. and the gospel
of beauty Chat is never so powerfully
preached as by things themselves in
animatcI becomes a reality in that
household. All hail to the lawn-mower
as an apostle of sweetness and light
