Maurice Berteau1, the socialist MT

just succeeded Gen. Andre as minister
OF war, is something of a novelty in
that capacity. There have been social

minister of commerce, in the Waldeck-

The dispatches recently have told the
world much about the German emperor
and his shooting party. We do not re-
member how many hundreds of birds the
emperor himself brought down, but the
episode reminded one of slaughter. To
the American sportsman it would not be
exciting to stand comfortably by while
a dozen seryitors load and pass guns to
the shooter and an army OF men beat
tom-toms and drive unsuspectjng birds
within range of the guns. This sort OF
sport is comparable to sticking pigs in a

COVERING U~NsloHTLlNEss.
How Unlovely Place in the Yard May
Be Transformed Into a Delight
with Flowers and Vines.

On many farms there are objects
which render unsightly an otherwise
beautiful situation, such as tumble
down fences and walls, old buildings.
etc. 1t is of the treatment of these
that | would speak.
To cover an old stone wall or fence
that cannot be removed, nothing is
prettier than the Virginia creeper. 1t
grows rapidly, clings closely, and is
hardy in almost any locality. An old
building can be converted into a thing
of beauty by training this vine owe
it, and at its base planting a roy OF giant
sunfiowers. In front of these plant a
row of dwarf sunfiowers and then a row
of dwarf nasturtiums. j
On our farm we have used hollyhoeks
and sweet peas for hiding an old stone
wall of remarkable height a few rods
| from the back of the house. We use the
double variety of h~ollyhocks. which are
beautiful in midsummer. When their
| beauty begins to a the peas are
| ready to blossom and, being in a shell
tered situation, continue in blossom
long after the first frosts.
A lady of my acquaintance had .
novel way OF ~disposing of old rubbish.
| When she cleaned the yard in the
spring. she heaped all the rubbish, save
the twigs and branches which had
fallen from the trees, on a barren place
in the back yard. Over this mound she
spread a thick coating of good soil In
which she sowed seeds of the climbing
%nasturtium. The twigs and branches
were then laid over the top, serving the
double purpose of protecting the plants
from the ravages of the chickens, and
furnishing support when the branches
began to cling.-Farm and Home.
