New Ideas in Lawn Gardening.

One sees some beautiful expressions
Of new ideas in landscape gardening
on Cliff Walk at Newport. This fam
Gus foot-way runs along the winding
brow of the cliffs for three miles. On
one side is the ocean, on the other
the smooth turf of the velvetry lawns
of the finest residences in Newport.
On one beautiful lawn you note that
the superb hydrangeas of pale blue,
massed in great beds, are exactly
matched by lawn seats and porch
chairs of pale blue enameled wicker
work! Very pleasing this to the eye,
as the green background of the hy-
drangeas is the same for the blue
enameled chairs and tables.
One lawn shows a hedge Of yellow
Towering shrubbery, as a background
against which are set gorgeous flower
beds. The novelty of this lawnscape
lies in the fact that the beds are ar
ranged in Vandyke points, pointing
seaward. This is an uncommOnly
snowy arrangement.
A handsome timbered villa painted
cigar brown has the ample verandas
set with willow porch chairs, little
occasional tables, a beehive seat and
a settle, all enameled in glowing vel
low, a deep honey color, almost old
gold. This looks well with the Havana
brown Of the house Yellow flowers
are blooming around the porch.
Another lawn is partly screened
from the public gaze by a triple hedge
of box, very old and well-established
and clipped perfectly fiat on top.
No property owner. not even Midas
himself, would be allowed to fence
off or wall off his frontage" in such q
manner as to prevent the public
from taking the cliff walk" along the
ocean marge.
The Newport cottagers who attemp
to screen their lawns by living hedges
Oh box or other shrubbery do so by
cutting off their own view of the
ocean, except from upper windows o.
from a great distance back from ia,

Physical training aims to enable
women to meet conditions and emer-
gencies that formerly filled woman
with nervous timidity that can hard
~ be said to have been marked by
womanly dignity or grace. IT, for ex-
ample, there is an obstruction I'm the
road. physical training enables a wom-
an to get over 1t easily and make 1t I'M
necessary for her to wait for assist
ance. In case of fire, physical train
Ing makes 1t safer for such a woman
to be lowered by a rope to the ground
If that should be necessary. Physical
development, in other words, takes
away from woman no grace Of man
ner, no natural dignity or reserve, but
hts her for physical tasks and emer-
gencies for which she could be fitted
in no other way.
Athletic contests are perhaps as In
evitable as any other kind Of contests.
They are stimulating and strengthen

necessarily enters into them may ex-
press itself in somewhat strenuous
movements and tones, but there is no
reason to believe that these contests,
entered into as part Of a scheme of
physical training and conducted with
the decOrum that ought to character
lie every educational exercise, have an
injurious effect on the manners of the

The use Of sweets is one Of the most
prevalent and most perniclous customs
Of the day, says Health Culture The
habit of using sweets is usually con
tracted In early life The child De-
fore II can walk Is frequently a victim
Of the candy habit; and this love OF
sweets usually lasts through life. Al
though it contains food elements, vr-
binary cane sugar is not actually
food; but for all practical purposes
may be regarded as a condiment. 1t
Is injurious in many ways In the
first place 1t acts to retard digestion
through neutralizing the action Of
certain Of the digestive fluids. A cereal
taken unsweetened is coyerted by the
ptyalin of the saliva into a digestible
product, deXtrine. But when sugar is
taken with the cereal the ptyalin can
not act upon the starch, which enters
the stomach unchanged So cereal
with cream, OF fruit juice, unsWeet-
ened, is readily digested, where the
same with sugar at once ferments ia
the stomach. The same is true OF
fruit, which should never be eaten
with sugar. Strawberries, for instance,
which by themselves are an ideal ar
ticle of diet, become an indigestible
mess when mixed with cream and
sugar.
Another injurious result from the
use of sugar is that through its appeal
to the palate it induces overeating.
Surely, after oysters, soup, fish. roast,
game, salad, with several vegetables,
the appetite is glutted, and the di-
gestive system sufficiently taxed. But
just at this point the ice cream, the
pudding, the candled fruits and con
fections are brought on The appeal
to the palate is irresistible The fool
ish diner, tempted by tlavors, takes
into his already overloaded system a
quantity Of sweet matter which, once
in the stomach promptly ferments.
The fermentation produces poisoza,
which, in addition to those resulting
from the chemical combination Of the
matters already taken, must be
promptly eliminated by the depurat-
ing organs, skin, lungs, bowels and
kidneys. Unless carried off by the
depurating organs these poisonous
matters are retained in the system, set
ting up disease in m"ny forms.

The Secret OF Youtb

An acute observer is quoted by the
London Queen as remarking: "Wom-
en- have given up growing old. sup
Ose they are tired of it." Most of us
soon tire of growing old. 1t is a ia
tiguing process, and one that human
ity in general would be glad to dis
pense with. According to my observ-
er, our women Of to-day do dispense
with it, but our men do not. He went
on to remark, "a modern woman Of
forty looks, say, thirty to thirty-two."
What Is the secret Of this eternal
youth?
] People who live exceedingly quiet
Hives in the country, whose greatest
dissipation is rare garden party,
whose hour for bed is TO- and whose
hardest labor is game of tennis or
the gentle wedding Of border, declare
that in the rare garden party, in bed,
tennis and wedding of borders Is eter-
nal youth to be found. Others say that
quiet mind is the best make up in
ie world, and that the mind cannot be
liet in great city. Certainly one of
the youngest looking women for her
age whom I have ever seen does live
one of these peaceful lives, far away
from the roar of traffic and the gage
ties SO many Of us cling to- She is
famous, and she says she is forty-one,
yet in bright daylight she looks more
often than not like a radiant girl. The
whole world has rung with her name,
, yet she cares nothing for the world.
She adores peace, fresh air, simple
lity, early hours, and, as 1 have said,
at forty-one she is like a beautiful
young girl.
But the surest way of keeping young
Is to preserve your interest in people
and In things.

How to Grow Tomatoes.

Set plants out when quite small, and
when about a foot high begin to thin
out the small ones until you get them
about two feet apart in the row. As
soon as they begin to branch out,
commence to prune as you would fruit
trees, cutting all the small limbs and
sprouts that come out, cut close to
the body of the bush. Keep this up
as long as necessary and you will be
surprised to see how much earlier
you have tomatoes, and how much
larger they are than your neighbours.
If you want large, nice tomatoes, try
this experiment and you will be well
paid.-The Epitomlst.
