copies of the same to all OF the men,

one to kindly send in all inquiries
as soon as possible before the legis-

Beautiful homes and modern busl-

Spare the Wild Flowers.
Forest and Strean

This is the season of the year when jewellers
in cities and towns may be seen returning
after holiday excursions, loaded down with
flowers, leaves and branches of trees, torn off
from their stems by people who wish to carry
aWay with them the beautiful things that ma
ture so layishIy spreads abroad in the spring.
To admire and to desire to possess these beau
tiful things is natural, yet to tear them down
and carry them away shows deplorable lack
of thought The least informed person. II
willing to pause and think for moment, knows
very we'll that few hours after the twig has
been parted from its branch or the flower from
its stem, twig and flower alike must lose all
resemblance to the beautiful growing thing
that inspired the wish for possession, and are
no longer worth having. Thus, for the graft
fication of passing impulse, one has destroyed
q beautiful object that but for this hasty act
might have given pleasure to other people for
DAYS or weeks.
It is not uncommon to see people coming
from the country laden with branches of dog
wood, for example, four feet long; lilacs are
torn down and defaced, and punches of more
ephemeral flowers like violets, buttercups and
others are willing in every hand. If people
would recognize how feetiDg is the gratifica-
ton derived from this destruction of the flow
ers, and how selfish it is, they probably would
not be guilty of it. A well regulated person
does not-even if the opportunity occurs-des'
troy shrubbery in the public parks for the pur-
pose of carrying away with him the flowers
or branches. In towns and cities such an ACT
is commonly regarded as an offense, and any
one found guilty of it is likely to be punished,
by fine or otherwise. Yet, the principle Is
the same, whether the destruction is wrought
in town or in the country the owner does not
attempt TO protect his shrubbery or his wild
flowers unless they are close to his house.

The Automobile on the Farm.

Lancaster (IU.) BJuUtHeT.
Just at present the automobile with lis is a
half fad and full of danger. 1t is disappoint-
ment in its willfulness, and when the people
are not joking about it they and the owners
are swearing at it. When it balks it is worse
than a horse and can discount dumb one
when it tries to run over a stone wall or a
spring house by the wayside. When it gets
sick-that is, breaks down-it is harder to
soothe and pacify than ten babies with the
collie Only men with Jobs special character
istics should run one. But in spite of its un.
certainty, its balkiness and general peryersity
of spirit it has not only come to stay, but is
the forerunner of the machine or motor that
will soon be seen on our farms. In Europe.
especially in England, the employment of
motor cars for farm work is already pretty
we'll developed, and it is found that they are
not only a vast improvement upon former
methods but they are also much more eco
nomical. On level land particularly these
farm motors have given complete satisfaction.
America, strange to say, has been far behind
European countries in the matter of automo-
biles, although recently great improvements
have been made in this country in this respect
and our inventors and manufacturers are rap
idly catching up with their foreign rivals One
reason for the European popularity of motor
cars is the splendid public highways that
abound in those countries, especially in Eng
land, France and Germany. The line country
roads radiating in every direction enable the
automobiles to compete in speed with railway
transportation, and, of course, in the matters
of privacy, comfort and independence they are
superior. According to a dealer in the ma
chimes, the reason so little has been done in
this country in farm motors is that such
vehicle is an entirely different type from the
passenger motor, requiring a different plant
and machinery to make it. All the power and
strength of construction in an automobile are
designed for rapid motion over a smooth road
bed, while in the farm motor the problem is
to get slow but sure and even motion over q
rough roadbed. The problem, however, is far
from unsolvable by American ingenuity, and
experts on this side are predicting that within
the next few years motor cars will be doing
most of the heavy work on the FARMS

Moving the Lawn.-A mistake is often
made by setting the lawn mower to cut too
short. and there is sometimes not enough of
leaf grown left to give strength to the roots Of
the grass. A more natural condition is given
by cutting a little higher, the lawn is made
more like velvet, and there would be less dam
ger of the earth below being dried or burnt by
exposure to the sun. Owners and gardeners
under the shade of trees where grass will grow
freely. The best remedy is free seeding with
Kentucky blue grass, which will endure shade
better than most other lawn grasses. Another
mode of treatment is to cover the ground
around the trees and beneath their shade with
some hardy evergreen running plant, as the
and shade trees in separate allotments.

Express Team Run Down by Light"
Enrfne.-George A. Murray, of T0wson, who
drives one of Cummings Express teams, met
with q serious accident at Notre Dame crossing
of the Maryland & Pennsylvania Railroad,
about 1.3O o'clock on Wednesday morning
last. Murray was driving west on Wyndhurst
avenue and Just as he got on the track an en-,
CINE, running light without train attached)
suddenly bore down upon him at high rate
of speed. It struck the team killing both
mules and totally wrecking the wagon. MUIR
raw was thrown about twenty feet and was
badly cut about the head and sustained severe
bruises about the body. 1t is miracle that he
was not killed. He was removed to the City
Hospital in Baltimore where he has since been
under treatment. He says that he often has
occasion to pass over the tracks Of that railroad
and that he is familiar with the time trains
are due at several stations. The one that ran
him down was an extra" and he was there
fore not looking for it.
Residents of Roland and Tuxedo Parks, and
particularly those who have occasion to use
the Notre Dame crossing, are blaming the
railroad company. declaring some means OF
warning and protection should be used Tor the
public safety there.
Belvidere avenue, the next crossing to the
north, is equipped with safety bell, which
gives warning Of the approach of train. This
road however, is not used to the extent that
Wyndhurst avenue is, as the latter is the main
outlet from Charles street extended to Roland
Park.
Commenting editorially upon the above &C.
currence the Baltimore SOn says: "Wednes-
day as wagon was crossing the Maryland and
Pennsylvania Railroad tracks at Wyndhurst
avenue it was struck by a locomotive and de:
molished. One of the horses was killed and
the driver was badly hurt. 1t is to be hoped
that we will some time reach degree of civil
ization when grade crossings will be strictly
prohibited. Until then it should not be too
much to expect railroad companies to keep
watchmen at important crossings, for the pro-
blv be far more economical for the railroads,
as one accident may cost enough to maintain
a Waterman. or at least an electric gong, fol
many years."
