CHARM OF OLD GARDENS.
Development In style In England an,
This Country.

In the art of gardens, as In all other
arts, there comes times of decadence
when false taste takes the place OF
true, when follies are exalted and the
judicious have cause for grief. So 1t
was ut least In England, In the seven
teenth century.
The revolt against ridiculous eX-
cesses In clipped box and yew and
against the puerilities of parterre
made of colored earths and broken
minerals-a revolt started as protest
against tasteless absurdities-gathere
such head that In the end 1t resulted In
n new school of gardening the princi-
pies Of which were fundamentally at
variance with those of the older meth
change OF thought we may gather from
the fact that In 172S Batty Langly. n
stanch adherent of the new method,
was able to ask, In full hope Of mega
tive answer from every reader. rs
there anything more shocking than n
stff, regular garden!"
For 200 years, although Kent, Capa-
bility Brown and their successors have
had 1t almost all their own way, the
formal manner IN England has never
been quite dead Even In the middle
OF the nineteenth century a number
OF large gardens Were laid out In the
Anglacized Italian manner, manner
which lent itself with fatal facility to
the tastelessness OF the "beddlng-out"
system. Now and then throughout the
century something has been done
worthlly in the old way, as Mt Pens
hurst, Blicking or Montacute, but It Is
only within the last twenty years that
there has been in England a definite,
even though not very general, revival
OF the formal method
In America the case Is different, says
Frank Miles Day In the International
Monthly. Although many Of the earlier
cOlOnists came here at a time when the
ideas Of landscape school were making
great Roadway in England. the gardens
about their new homes were In almost
all cases formal. Stately houses of the
eighteenth century from Virginia to
Massachusetts, had their gardens laid
out In harmony with their architectural
lines. The abundant remains of these
old gardens, possessed as they are OF
quiet charm all their own, bear wit
ness 10 the fact that our ancestors not
only loved their gardens but took a
most intelligent interest In them.

Consume Lots Of Timber.


In the United States 100000 feet OF
pine lumber are used every year for
matches, or the equivalent Of the prod.
uct of 400 acres of good virgin forest.
About G2O,OOO,OOO cross ties are now
laid on American railroads and 10000.
600 new ties are required annually for
renewals. The amount Of timber used
every year for ties alone Is equivalent
to 3,OOO.OOO,OOO feet of lumber. There
are now standing nearly 100000 tele-
graph poles. The average life Of a
telegraph pole Is about ten years, SO
that nearly 10000 new poles IRE re-
quired every year for renewals. These
figures do not include telephones poles
and the poles required on new railway
lines.
The total annual consumption Of tim.
Der for ties ana poles Is equivalent to
the amount of timber grown Oh 100000
acres of good virgin forest. For max.
ing shoe pegs the amount Of wood used
In a single year Is equal to the prod
uct Of fully 5000 acres Of good second
growth hardwood land. Lasts and boot
trees require ut least 100000 cords
more. Most newspaper and packing
paper Is made from wood. Although
this industry has been developed only
within the last forty years. yet the
amount Of wood consumed for paper
during that time has been enormous.
The total annual consumption of wood
paper pulp is equivalent to over 500.

A. His Child Saw Him.

A prominent real estate man In Los
Angeles had an experience few even
ings ago that kept him guessing for q
little bit as to whether he should feel
cOmplimented or otherwise. He was
at home with one little daughter while
his wife and another Of the children
were downtown. Darkness was com.
ing on and the little girl was anxiously
watching for her mothers return. Her
nervousness grew apace, In spite of the
fathers attempts at reinsurance. AT
length the little one burst into tears,
saying:
II just can't help 1t! need mamma,
and I must have her!"

ton to grow less. How does 1t happen
that this one individual is singled out
from all the rest to be the possessor of
80 much hair? Has 1t been the use Of
hair tones? Is 1t the result Of frequent
indulgences in shampoos by the bar
Der? Has he been spending money for
some famous hair restorer? Nothing Of
the sort. None Of these things has hap.
epend. 1t has been brought about
neither by wise management nor hered.
ity. This is the way 1t happened: The
head upon which this luxuriant hair
grows Is Of long diameter from before
backwards, but Of short diameter FROM
side to side. That is to say long, thin
head, with rather hollow temples. This
makes 1t impossible for him to buy a
hat that FITS tightly to his head. His
head being 80 long. he is obliged to buy
~, which Is always too wide for his
thin head. He has probably never worn
a hat In his life that fit tightly over the
temples.
Well, what has all this to do with lux
uriant hair? 1t has much to do with
1t. The temporal arteries that supply
the scalp with blood run UP the side Of
the temples. The average person wears
a hat that fits tightly over the temples.
This construction Of the arteries and
veins that supply the circulation Of the
blood and the pressure Of the hat upon
these blood vessels cut of in part the
circulation Of the blood to the scalp
This makes the hair unhealthy and in.
clined to drop out. Bald-headednesl
comes ON prematurely. But in case Of
the long headed person we are describ.
ing, no hat could be found that would
fit tightly across the temples.
1t was no wisdom Of his that preserv'
ed his hair, but merely the accidental
shape Of his head. He has always been
obliged to wear hat that touched the
forehead and back Of the head, but did
not touch the sides Of his head. This
left the circulation Of the blood free te
the scalp. Hence the brisfling, rugged
healthy mop of hair on his head. Each
hair stays In Its place with the tenacity
Of a pine stump. A pound weight would
not be sufficient to pull out a single
hair.
Now, II there Is any lesson to b
learned from all this, It Is simply Il
avoid wearing anything on the heat
that presses the temples. This Is prob
ably the reason that women have bet
ter growth Of hair. 1t Is rare indeed
to see bald-headed woman. 1t Is very
common to see bald-headed man
Women's hats are worn as ornaments

AT FIRST GLANCE.
1t Would Appear That Local Rene
dies Would Be Best for Cure Of
Catarrh

1t would seem at first glance that
catarrh being a disease of the mucous
membrane that salves, sprays, etc,
being applied directly to the men,
branes of the nose and throat. would
be the most rational treatment, but
this has been proven not to be true.
The mucous membrane is made and
repaired from the blood and catarrh is
blood disease and any remedy to
make a permanent Cure must act on
the blood. and when the blood is puri-
fed from catarrhal poison. the secre-
tions from the mucous membrane will
become natural and healthy.
In this climate, thousands of people
seem scarcely ever free from some form
OF catarrh: 1t gets better at times but
each winter becomes gradually deeper
seated. and after a time the sufferer
resigns himself to 1t as a necessary
evil
Catarrh cures are almost as numer-
Gus az catarrh sufferers. but are nearly
all so inconvenient and ineTective as
to render their use nuisance nearly
as annoying as catarrh itself; anyone
who has used douches. sprays and pow
ders will bear witness to their incon-

There are a number of excellent In
ternal remedies for catarrh, but prob
ably the best and certainly the safest
is new remedy, composed of Red
Gum. Blood Root and similar antsep-
tic remedies and other valuable catarrh
specifics.
This remedy is in tablet form. pleas
ant to the taste and sold by druggists
under the name of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets, and anyone suffering from
catarrh may use these tablets with alb
solute assurance that they contain no

eral whatever
n leading druggist in Albany speak
ing of catarrh cures says: II have
sold various catarrh cures for years,
but have never sold any which gave
such general satisfaction as Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets. They contain in a
pleasant concentrated form all the best
and latest catarrh remedies. and ca

at the quick relief and permanent re-
