When to Plant Trees.

For trees and plants of undoubted
hardness there are some advantages
and no great risks in fall planting.
Some kinds, like larch, birch and beech,
1t is always best to plant in the fall.
With evergreens it is different; plant
only in the spring, or just after mid
summer. After several hard frosts the
earlier that fall planting can be done
the better; il leaves remain strip them
Off. Stake securely in windy places
and mound up. Never plant tree or
shrub deeper than the collar.

Steel Road an Agreeable Surprise.

That steel road in Murray street,
New York, laid as an experiment by
the Automobile Club of America, is
serving SO much better than the
prophets said it would that the
chances are it will be generally
adopted in the cities where machine
riding is popular. To the general
surprise, it has proved less slippery
in ice and snow than cobbles are, for
cobbles have round edges and tip the
hoofs Of horses slightly forward or
backward. Wheels of all vehicles
move with ease when they leave the
granite and touch the fat plates Of
steel.

WIRELESS PIANO.
Success After Inventor Toiled for
Thirteen Years.

! hirtcen years.
Ira F. Gilmore, of Bloomington, ILL.,,
has invented wireless piano upon
which he has experimental under many
disadvantages for the last 13 years. In
the beginning of his venture he tried
first in the United States to get his
reeds made and failed. So he
went to work on a piece
of steel one quarter of an
inch think and six inches wide, drilled
1t and filed 1T until he had made five
octave comb reed, and placed it on q
bridge and sounding board. Then he
picked and hammered it and discov-
cred that he had fine hard-tone, one
that had been eagerly sought after for
many years by all who tried to i'm
prove the tone of the wire piano. He
then began to search for a music box
manufacturer, who could manufacture
the comb reeds or music tongues. He
corresponded with firm in Switzer-
land, the real home of the music box,
several years without avail. So, after
finding that he could not get the music
tongues made either in his own or for
eign countries, he and his sons under
took the task and were successful.
They made a rough model of the wire
less piano at an agricultural machine
shop under great disadvantages. They
Z made the combination-the music box
reed with the piano keyboard-and

Put the young roses that have just
rooted into cellar where the frost will
not reach them, but do not keep them
too warm. If started very early in the
spring in the house and set out in the
open air after frost has passed they
will make rapid growth and bloom dur

be cut back after the ground is cold,

AcCuirenent OF
Better Results

A man inquired. How can I accom-
plish most for the energy. time, force
and efforts expended? l feel that
must accomplish more. yet my
strength will scarcely admit of greater
expenditure. How can l do it? is the
question"
When a store must have more space
for new goods and is unable to borrow,
rent or build. and all the space
1t has is chock full, there is one
thing to do. and that is throw out the
least important line of goods. But
sometimes when it is thought all the
space is entirely occupied, careful in
vestigation and some mental calcula-
tion will produce more space. There
are counters to-day which use room,
formerly unoccupied for holding
stock, and they give almost half as
much room as the shelves back OF
them.
Busy doctors have to study prompt
ness, briefness and effectiveness.
Some doctors will make twice as
many calls during the day as some
others do, using the same time, the
same energy. and having left fully as
much strength at the end of the day.
To do an extra amount of work re-
quires an original study of self and
environments, coupled with syste-
matte effort to gain at every point.
Our opportunities for doing more
work and better work with the same
time and strength embrace study
Of improved methods, better habits,
more nutritious food, economy of
time. casting off unnecessaries, less at
tention to the least important, hunting
for waste places, training others to
do what they should for us, and trying
to find something every day new and
useful to us in our work.
