TREES FOR CITY STREETS
Expert Recommendations on Proper
Distribution and Sc
lection.

The proper distribution and selection Of
trees for streets was made the subject Of n
report by the committee of the Hartford
Comm Florists club. While the recon-
mendations of the were intended
for Hartford alone, some of the points
brought out In it's report are applicable to
every other city in the country. In the first
place, the care of the trees should be placed
in the hands of the city government, ac-
cording to the committee, so that a uniform
method of planting can be carried out, as
we'll as in the case given to those already
on the streets. The trees should be
systematically spaced, a distance of forty
to fifty feet being allowed between .T1"s.
Careful pruning should be undertaken ~
those in charge, all the dead wood being
cleared out and the trees kept free from in
sects. The ideal location for a line of street
trees is between the property line and the
walk. If planted in this position they are
out of reach of horses, the roots are fur
Their removed from the gas that escapes
from the street mains, and they have more
oportunity of obtaining moisture than when
under the asphalt or other impervious
street paving.
3egarairg the kind OF trees that does well
under city conditions, the committee favors

standing any possible conditions in a city,
such as smoke, dry soil, etc, and they are
also free from insects. Other trees similarly
constituted are the cottonwood, white pop
lar and some forms of willow; then come
the European linden and the English elm,
both of which are tougher in this respect
than the American species. For the subur-
ban and semi-urban portions of the city
the best all-around tree is the American
elm. It's advantages are high but not too
dense shade, the ease with which wires
can be passed through its branches without
multilating them, its rapldity of growth and
it's beautiful way Of over-arching the street.
1t has the disadvantage, however, of put
ting out it's leaves very late, shedding them
continually after the middle Of the summer
and its liability or attack by the elm tree
beetle. The English elm can adapt itself
much better to unfavorable city conditions,
but has a greater attraction for the elm
tree beetle than the American type. The
committee recommends for the suburban
parts Of the city such trees as red, scarlet,
black and pin oaks, horse ~chestnuts, hack
berry, silver and red naples and black

NOTES.

Carter H. Harrison, jr., the 12-year-old
son OF the mayor of Chicago, has written a
two-act historical drama entitled, "The
Battle OF Agincourt," for the English his
tory class Of the Chicago Latin school.
The anonymous individual who some time
ago gave a handsome sum to Bryn Mawr
college for the erection and equipment Of a
meteorological hospital proves to havo been
Clement A. Grisccm of Philadelphia, head
Of the Shipping trust.
Mrs. 8. r. Reins is the oldest principal In
the New York schools, having served con-
tinuously since 1863. The teachers under her
presented her with a sunburst of diamonds
and pearls, hidden In a box of American
Beauty roses which she found on her desk
last Friday.
The executive committee OF the Carnegie
institution, Washington, has made q grant
of 5000 and travelling expense to Prof,
Arthur Gamges. emeritus professor of ply

able him to prepare a report on the physi-
ology of nutrition.
The remark OF President Eliot of Har-
ward anent the entertainment of the ma
tlonal convention of school teachers at Bos-
ton hat the western delegates should be
given Il trip to the sea beach, as "a bath
would do them good" has caused a good
deal of comment among the pedagogues OF
the wild and woolly west, who think the
Bostonians have as great need of lessons OF
cleanliness as have the people from other
sections OF the country.

walnut. The committee warns against the
rock maple for street planting, this being
one Of the first to succumb to city condi-
lions. It shade is too dense and It is difh-
cult for wires to be passed through It's
branches without cutting a large hole
through the foliage. The Norway maple
has some Of the Objectionable features OF
the rock maple, but stands city conditions
better. Where the trees on an avenue do
not reach above n certain size the commit
tee recommends that the practice followed
in some European cities be carried OUT;
that is. to plant trees which will attain a
large size II left to grow. but which are
kept within bounds by very severe pruning.

put his arm strongly about her and drew
her into safety.
That was a close call, ma'am," said Tom
Downing in a voice that trembled, as he
stood beside her on the curb, still holding
her hand.
Miss Pinch looked up at him with CULVER

abruptly.
She felt the blood rush to the roots Of
her hair.
"fes'-she faltered-"just now. But he
was with a lady and gentleman, and-and-
they were in a great ~hurry-there wasn't

There was an awkward pause, which Tom
broke at last.
"How's the parrot-he hasn't bitten YOU
again?' he asked with an EFFORT at jocose-
ness.
"oh. no. and she shook her head. re-

He likes It very much, indeed" with a
perceptible Frightening. Sometimes lie

Tom smiled broadly and sat silent. Miss
Pinch, also silent, let her mind wander
after the delinquent Richard.
DO you think that the parrot would be
Jealous of a monograph in the same house
with him?'

she had quite pronounced the little word

A lot Of young fellows in an Ohio town
had a good time with a tramp last week.
They took him into a shed. gave him a good
bath, shaved him and cut his hair. They
then bought a new suit of clothes, white
shirt and standup collar and dressed him
out complete. But when they attempted
to burn his hobo clothes he objected and
fought for them with such desperation their
suspicious were aroused and upon search

Samuel Enders Of Joplin, Mo, has sued
his wife for divorce, alleging that she de
serted him twenty-three times. He is a
mine operator who has amassed n fortune
by careful investments in small properties.
He AYERS in his petition That his wife has
long had a penchant for running away.
Once she was gone for six months. Twenty
two different times he forgave her on
promises that she would do better. He
states that he was much annoyed by her
going away at unexpected times and leav-
ing him with no one to take care OF the
household. He adds that she has gone
again now, and that patience has ceased
to be a virtue" For the additional reason
that she sometimes called him bad names
and otherwise abused him he asks to be set

An amusing story is told in the English
papers about Kaiser Wilhelm's fondness
for surprising his army and his navy.
When the squadron was at Klel some time
ngo, the officers attended a court function
in Berlin. A young naval commander.
while mingling with the crowd Of gayly
uniformed courtiers, thought he espied an
other naval friend in front of him. His
friends back was turned toward him, so
he pushed up to him, and, placing his hand
on his shoulder, he said: How are you,
old fellow? Come, let us go and surprise
the aquarium tonight" His supposed friend
turned around, and, to his horror, the naval
commander found that he had clapped Ad-
miral Wilhelm on the back. The com
mander stood aghast, but the kaiser saw
the joke. Excellent idea!" he said. Keep
quiet. and we will start at once" And the
biggest kind of torpedo raid was the result,
and, to the kaiser's great glee, he was able
to torpedo every battleship and cruiser in
port that night.

errors are made during the marching exer-

One of the oldest families in the world,
not in point of pedigree. but of longevity.
is said to live in Bell county. Kentucky.
Lewis Green is 90 years old. his wife, Vir-
ginia Green, is 90 years old. They were
married seventy-three years ago and went
to live on a farm at the mouth Of Bing-
hams creek, in a bend of the Cumberland
river. They are still living in the same
house to which they went as bridegroom
and bride t~hree-quarters OF a century ago.
They have ten children, the youngest OF
whom is now 4S, and there has never been
a death in the family.
