FLOWERS ON THE FARM.
Our Farmers Been Criticised by For
eigners for Their Indifference to
Immediate Surroundings.

1t has been argued that in this coun-
try among our farmers, carelessness is
the trait which a foreigner most OBJ
serves, and some say that glance at
the immediate surroundings OF more
than the average number of farm
houses, proves the correctness of this
assertion. Tin-can strewn grounds, un-
slightly rubbish heaps, empty boxes and
barrels, occupy space which, in most
European countries would be put UNI
der thorough cultivation. Such en-
vironment has a depressing effect all
around.
II is our duty, at all seasons of the
year, TO make our homes pleasant and
attractive. The old Athenians spent
their money freely 10 build temples
and erect statues, while their own
homes were unadorned. This was
perverted patriotism. for the homes
of country are the true index of its
strength and prosperity, and the man
or woman. who seeks TO heautify his
or her home surroundings, is "A public
benefactor even though unknown to
themselves.
The identifying of the home and
lawns generally is done by the women
folk, or else goes undone. This is not
as II should be. The farmer could
spare at least one hour of painstaking
effort a week, 10 the work of improve
ment He understands the adaptibility
Of certain soils. and is more able to
dig and plant than his wife; but first
he must know that II is not a loss of
time. and even if he be too intensely
practical TO care for flowers. he must
know that a beautiful home has most
decided commercial value.
No home is too humble TO join in
the good work, and no spot of land
should be wasted. In many countries
in Europe even the space along the
hedges and byways is made TO produce
something of use to mankind. 10 IS
not area. but taste that counts ia
landscape gardening. The cost at the
start need not be great. Seeds and
slips are not expensive. Many plants

and a few dollars thoughtfully ex-
pended will start garden, capable Of

Rube was touched up for two more
hits in the third and one in the iourth,
but no more after that.
Burley Hatch was at the pivot for the
Perfects and Miss Alys Rabbit was at
his mercy all the time being unable
to bunch hits except in the sixth when
two two baggers by Barbour and Nc
Clelland Melted one run. Hatch re-
fused to walk any batter making them
hit He was accorded gilt edge sup

Whitley famed seven while Hatch
struck out three at opportune mo
when men on bases would have scor-

The Perfects made their five runs
as follows:
Dithridge doubled, Blaueser singled
Connors famed, Seares singled
Hatch famed, Long doubled followed
by singles by Bissell and Fleming, the
latter being the only man left on base
when Roland made the third out by

SHAW SAYS DIVORCE IS LEGAL.

Boston, April 2e.-Robert Gould Shaw,
I'd, of Brookline to-day declared the di-
vorce got by Mamie ~Langhorne Shaw

understand why the marriage with Waldorf
Astor of London should not proceed,
Mr.. Shaw believes that the divorce OBJ

within the ruling of the United States Su-
preme Court that no State court had the
right to grant a divorce unless both parties
live in the State.
While Mr.. Shaw was a resident of this
State the Virginia courts granted Mrs.
Shaw a divorce from him about two years
ago. He married a Mrs. Converse 70
after and now lives with her in Brookline,
Mr.. Shaw was asked:
Have you heard from Mrs. Shaw since
the legalityof yourdivorce was questioned2'
"No, I have not heard from her for a
long time"
Her friends say that she has been trying
to communicate with you"
How foolish that is"
"You know, do you not, hat the recent
decision of the Supreme Court places doubt
on the validity Of her divorce?"
Il have heard nothing, but ! know that
the divorce is legal
IF Mrs. Shaw endeavors to legalize the
divorce will you stand in her way2'
