LAWNS AND LAWN MAKING.

The best lawns have seen are
those composed OF single variety OF
grass. So long as the texture and
color are good it makes but little diff
ference what variety is used, presup-
posing the soil to have been properly
and carefully prepared. For New Eng
land and regions near the coast,
where the influence of the ocean
winds may have some effect, Rhode
Island bent and creeping bent are the
best grasses to use. They require
careful attention, however, more than
Kentucky blue grass, and for general
purposes l would recommend Ken
lucky blue grass. Lime is required
in the soil to make it do it's best. From
experiments at some OF the agricul-
tural experiment stations Rhode ISL
and bent and other bent grasses are
not improved by the application of
lime. Now, for a mixture l would
recommend Kentucky blue grass, Ital-
ian rye grass and white clover. The
Italian rye grass is introduced simply
for immediate effect.
An ultimate lawn should consist
Of blue grass and white clover. An
other mixture which may be recon-
mended is Kentucky blue grass, crest
ed dogs tail and white clover. In
this case also Italian rye grass could
be added II an immediate covering
is desired. This mixture is good for
somewhat shaded lawns. In New
England and the middle states some
Of tie fescues might be used for
lawns, but their characters are not

sown thickly makes good turf. For

which stands any amount of hot sun,
and remains beautifully green
throughout the season, or St. Angus
tine grass or Charleston lawn grass,
which is used for lawns in cities near
the coast from Charleston southwark.
Poor and weedy lawns are the result
Of improper care or bad management,
and, as stated above. an attractive
lawn depends less upon the variety OF
grass than upon the preparation of
the soil and subsequent care.-F. Law

Inspector o. B. Sheppard. OF the Ca
madam department OF fisheries. says
in his annual report that unless some
thing is done to prevent it. sturgeon
soon will be practically extinct in the
Lake Huron and Georgian Bay dis
trict. In the northern part Of the dis
trict, especially in Lake Nipissina
and rivers leading therefrom. they
are still plentiful. but they are being
slaughtered at fearful rate. one firm
having shipped 10000 pounds OF ca
Ware in the season. AS the roe is the
part of the fish that Is of the most
value, and it is taken just before
spawning, the sturgeon has no chance
to reproduce itself. and the end must
shortly come. Mr.. Sheppard strongly
advises drastic measures OF protection
for the fish for few years. :
In a recent issue of the London
Spectator a correspondent was un-
lucky enough to define a gentleman
as one whose family had been for
three generations out Of trade. This
has called forth more protests than
the editor of that journal has appar-
emily had room to insert. and some OF
them emphatically asked the atten.
ton of Edward VII to the definition,
With the respectful request that he
would in some way intimate what he
thought OF 1t. The occasion for con.
trasted notions on the subject was not
neglected. One humorous interpreta.
ton of the old English notion OF .
gentleman-a man who owns land and
does nothing--was given in the Irish.
mans definition OF him as "a man who
never did q hands turn for himself or
anybody else." The burden OF the
protests, however. was that the i'm
portance of industry is now SO vital
that feudal notions on this topic must
finally give-way; in other words. that
business was as respectable as to
own land. But it was thought neces-
sary to get the king to say so. as any
revised standard for English society
would need the royal hallmark of ap-
proval.

Still, though she might be as agile as
panther, we were by no means in
love with her as a battIeship and rain
ed out objections in perfect storm.
To these Alec listened gravely enough
at first, but presently his eye lighted
up, and he answered with an amount
of irritation and heat which was unu-
sual in him.
TO the ship breaker with your clum-
sy apple bowed floating fortressesr' he
cried. ''Noah's ark was not more un-
handy In Il sea. Look at my beauty,
how she sits the water like a duck.

remember, is the enemy's target. You

did you not hear before we left Eng
land that Captain Hawkins of Plym-
outh was razing them from all his
ships as a lubberly incumbrance fit
only for land loving towards who could
not fight except from behind a stock
ade!"
And so he ran on, decrying every
point In our ship and sticking up for
the innovations on his own so fiercely
that losing my temper somewhat, / .
ventured to demonstrate. But before
ten sentences had passed my lips the
old man interrupted.
"Oh, no, ho" chuckled he. Empty
headed Jack, what pity you're not a
Spaniard, for surely a more mulish
bigot never stuck to a foolish cause.
Why. good numskull, you're always
prating of your hatred for the dons and
mere you are trying In your Grass igno-
rance to belittle the most cunning
scourge that was ever made to swing
against their idolatrous backs. I tell
you, Jack, and you, my masters all,
tell you-I, who have thrown you q
dozen or so of true prophecies before
tell you that yon outlandish craft
which Is now working her way almost
In the eye of the wind shall work q
deed the like of which no English bark,
like manned, has ever worked before.
She shall fight a single handed fight
with great galleon and capture her,
and there shall be spoil such as the
