THE CITY BEAUTIFUL.
What Civic Improvement Society Is
Doing for Hamilton, Ont.

Hamilton is being made more attrac-
tive every year through the efforts or
the Civic Improvement society, which
awards prizes for the best kept lawns,
flower boxes and gardens. The idea Is
so excellent that it is remarkable that
it has not been more generally adopted.
The natural tendency of all centerS OF
population is toward ugliness and UNI
tidiness. To resist this and aspire tow
ard the city beautiful is a worthy eff
fort We are influenced more than we
are generally willing to acknowledge by
our surroundings. The power of beauty
to cheer and purify human nature is I'M
measurable Why, then, should all the
natural beauty OF a city be confined to
it's parks or its boulevards, which are
visited only on rare and exceptional oe-
casions?
Here and there, it is true. efforts are
made to beautify the daily surrounding
In this city some of the modern factoc-
les are adorned with flowers and cling
ing ivy For this, and the consequent
appearance of cheerfulness, the public,
we believe, is sincerely grateful 1t IS
contribution to the comfort of everyone.
The splendid lawns and the gardens OF
our residential quarters also appeal TO
public appreciation. But there are dis
tricts of the city in which the sun OF
beauty seldom shines Prominent among
these are the business quarters, whefe
the tireSOme lnonOtOny of brick walls is
rarely relieved by the presence of any
green thing. 1t is here that the people
spend most of their time, and here 1t IS
that beauty and freshness are most re-
ouired In the more humble quarters,
too, though there is many homely gar
den. and many an effort to catch an IN
sniration from nature, the lack of beau
ty is often painful and depressing. Any
thing that will awaken an interest IN
the adornment of city, and stimulate
EFFORT along that line is a wholesome
and valuable influence. BY all means
LET ms beautify our cities, and if Ham
ilton has shown us how to do 1t thor
oughly and we'll we shall be grateful

BROTHER GARDNER.
He Gives Some Paternal Advice to
Departing Brother.

Four weeks ago Shindig Watkins of
the Lime Kiln club received an offer to
go to Indianapolis and establish color
ed ice cream and popcorn depot, with
sarsaparilla and molasses candy on the
outside, and he at once began getting
his shoes mended and the buttons sewed
on his vest.
At the last meeting of the club it was
announced that he had succeeded in
borrowing 90 cents of Elder Penstock,
and would start on his journey next day
After the routine business had been
transacted Brother Gardner arose and
looked around and queried:
Am Brudder Shindig Watkins in our
midst dis eavenin'?"
He am" replied the brother, as he
stood up.
