SUPERIORITY OF RED CEDAR.
Importance of This Native Tree as
an Ornamental plant


Any one who has noticed the num-
berless half-starved red cedars In the
country, standing up on so many
stills, would hardly imagine that this
evergreen Is by far the most promis-
ing OF all material for formal gardens
In the northeastern United States.
Yet so 1t is The red cedar can be
trained into nearly every shape that
Is demanded in the formal garden
These dominant forms, says Garden
Magazine, are as follows:
l. The standard or bay-tree form
OF course, no confer can take the
place of broad-leaved evergreen, but
the bay must be kept In a house all
winter.
2. The dome For this purpose the
globose arborvitae is superior to box
privet and catalpa bungei, since the
box is not hardy enough and the 9th
ers are deciduous.
8. The pyramid In this form, the
red cedar has to compete with arbor
vitae, Nordmann's and the silver mr.
and the Douglas, white and Norway
spruce.
4. The spire or column. In this
shape, the red cedar will reproduce
the effect of the cypress in Italian
gardens.
5. The arch. In default of hardy
evergreen vine, red cedars can be
trained in pairs over iron pipes to
form perfect garden arches six feet
across and ten feet high.
Finally, the rugged picturesqueness
of the famous Swiss stone pine can be
old cedars thirty or thirty-fve feet
high, their bare trunks crowned with
an irregular tuft of foliage.

out The device is made of steel, en-
ameled, and 1t is fitted with handle
which does away with the necessity
for STOPPING when gathering up tho
dust. The handle is detachable so that
the pan may be used in the old-fash
Toned way if desired and it is SO con-
structed that when it is not in conf
mission in conjunction with sweeping
operations it may be utilized as a re-
ceptacle for brushes and floor cloths.

AGAINST THE PUBLIC INTEREST.
Overzeaous Reformers Work for Law
Against Proprietary Medicines.

Schemes to diminish or destroy
the sale of proprietary medicines are
constantly being devised by interested
parties. Every now and then some
Jealous reformer comes to the front
with the demand for a law to require
every package of proprietary medt
cine to be labeled with printed
statement of the formula, showing
lust how it is manufactured. The mil
lions of people who use proprietary
medicines seem to be satisfied; but
the man with mania for regulating
the affairs of other people or who has
some personal interest to serve is
the one who agitates the proposition
To a person who has never taken
time to consider it, such proposition
may seem reasonable enough; yet II
is In fact nothing more nor less than
q scheme to compel the manufactur
ers to put their trade throughout the
entire country at the mercy of every
commercial pirate who might choose
to flood the market with limitations OF
their goods.
Under such conditions the incen
tive for the original manufacturer tc
advertise his goods would be practi
cally destroyed, for the money spent
on advertising would inure mainly to
the benefit of the pirates and imita
tors. Without advertising, the public
would receive little information In
regard to the medicine, and all future
sales would be greatly impaired II
not wholly destroyed 1t Is mainly by
judicious advertising that the knowl
edge of proprietary medicines is
brought to the public. Nothing is
more certain than that millions of PEG
pie have found relief at a compare
lively small expense by the use OF
some remedy first called to their
notice through newspaper advertising.
Why, then. should the manufactures
of a meritorious proprietary remedy
be compelled by law to practically
destroy his business as condition of
being allowed to carry 1t on? Yet
that is exactly what these formula
bills mean.-Exchapg

AWFUL NEURALGIA
AIR. Porter Thought He Should Go Mai
But Or. Williams Pink Pills
Cured Him.

at seems like a miracle that DR..
Williams Pink Pills should have cured
my neuralgia, " said Mr.. Porter. "They
are certainly marvellous medicine and
am always glad to recommend them.
For two years, he continued, 81 has
suffered almost uncomfortable pains in my
head. They would start over my eyes
and shoot upward most frequently, but
they often spread over my face, and At
times every part of my head and facs
would be full of agony. Sometimes the
pains were SO intense that I actually
feared they would drive me mad.
"My eyes ached constantly and there
was alwaysa burning sensation over my
forehead, but the other pains varied,
sometimes they were acute, and again
they were dull and lingering. l could
not sleep. Ny temper was irritable and
got no pleasure out of life.
- tried remedy after remedy, but
finding no help i'll any Of them, ! be.
came despairing man. Even when !
began to take DR.. Williams Pink Pills ]
had no great hope of cure.
"That was in December of 1908. To
my surprise a change III my condition
took place right away. The pains grew
less intense and the acute attacks were
further apart, as kept on using DIR. Will.
liams' Pink Pills. The improvement be-
gan with the first box, and when had
used six boxes I stopped. My cure was
complete and has lasted ever since.
Mr.. Charles H. Porter lives at Ray
mond, N III. He is one of many grateful
people who have found that DIR. Williams
Pink Pills will cure diseases of the nerves
that have stubbornly resisted every other
remedy tried. Not only neuralgia, but
sciatica, partial paralysis and locomotor
ataxia yield to them. They are sold by
all druggists, or may be obtained directly
from the DR. Williams Medicine Co.,

kind, says w. H. Cotton. All readers
of "Romola" will remember Pieri di
Cosimo, that misanthropic painter
who lived completely isolated from
his fellows in his queer, squalid stu
dio, with it's garden of weeds and fow'
ers growing rankly as they willed,
because he preferred them SO; his
only companions toads, rabbits, spi

chile of men. When he was painting
the portrait of the Duke Of Wellington
he kept the hero of Waterloo in a
rigid attitude for hours, at the least
movement threatening him with
dagger, and when the duke complain
ed of WEAKNESS the painter seized a
plaster cast and hurled it at his head.
Michael Angeles method of working
was one of his greatest eccentricities
Often he would get up in the middle
of the night to hack and hew his
marble by the light of single candle

then, worn by his great labors, he
would throw himself down to sleep
again without removing his clothing
or his shoes-sometimes keeping the
latter on so long that when they were
removed the flesh came off with the
stockings. 1t Is generally credited
that at one time a year passed in
which he never once removed his
shoes.-Leslie's Weekly.
