SHRUBS A NECESSITY,

Else Can Supply.
Every resident Of a community owes
certain obligations to 1t which he can.
not slight without annoyance to those
about him. One Of these duties is to
observe order and care about his prem
lses. A home which Is the very per-
fectton of neatness and beauty may be
thoroughly spoiled by a slouchy place
adjoining 1t. 1t Is the duty Of every
citizen to keep his grounds clean and
attractive, and they can be made beau
ty spots with little care and expense.
When one resident takes up this work,
others usually follow, and whole
blocks are thus beautifled. This Is
what makes the town attractive and
on identifying yards in the Home
Magazine Eben E. Rexford says
Every yard ought to have its shrubs.
They give to It charm which nothing
else can supply. On very small grounds
they take the place of trees very salts
factorily. Indeed, they are preferable
there because they are not likely to
.Outgrow the limits assigned them, as
trees will in time, and they do not
make shade enough to bring about the
insanitary conditions which are almost
always found to exiN in small places
where the trees have made strong de-
velopment.
Shade is n pleasing feature In sum-
mer, but there is such thing as lav
ing too much of 1t. We frequently see
places in which the dwelling is almost
hidden by thicket Of trees, and ex-
animation will show that the house IL
always damp and that the occupants Of
1t are unhealthy. Look at the roof, and
you will be likely to find the shingles
covered with green moss. The only
remedy for such condition Of things
Is the thinning out or removal Of some
Of the trees aud the admission Of sun
light. Shrubs can never be charged
with producing such state Of things
hence my preference for them on lots
where there Is not much room.
Vines can be used upon the walls Of
the dwellings and about the verandas
and porches In such a way as to give
all the shade that Is needed, and, with
few really fine specimens Of shrubs
scattered about the grounds, trees will
not be likely to be missed very much.
I would not be understood as discour-
aging the planting Of trees on places
where there is ample space for their
development. A fine tree is one Of tho
most beautiful things in the world,
but 1t must be given good deal Of
room, and that Is something that cannot
be done ON the small city or village lot
It takes years for tree to grow to
good size, while a shrub wlll-or ought
to at least-be in its prime the third or
fourth year from planting and gener
ally affords satisfactory degree Of
pleasure to It's owner from the start.

DRASTIC ON STEEL TRUST.
Gazette Says Contracts for New Rails
Are DiSregarded-

New York. May 25--'tIt is perhaps
safe TO say that there is no more
striking example in this country of the
dangerous and harmful possibilities of
a great corporation than that which
is now being afforded by the United
States steel corporation in its attitude
towards demands for sound rails
This is the opening statement of a
most drastic arraignment Of the steel
trust which is made in the current is
sue of the Railroad Gazette. in an
article entitled For Better Rails" "
There is 10 individual or combination
of individuals" the article continues,
which knows better how to make a
good rail than does the United States
steel corporation with its splendid
army of experts Nevertheless it
knowingly makes rails which break
and kill people The top of the ingots
are not being cropped off below the
point where high phosphorus and i'm
puriries are found
The statement of Mr. Schwab to the
effect that rails are manufa ctured
from specifications prepared and pre-
scented By the railroad companies
themselves is thus dealt with:
Specifications as furnished by the
railroad companies are totally disre-
garded and rails. especially in the new
and heavier sections. are furnished
with spots in them so full of impurf-
ties and so brittle that they must
necessarily break when subjected to
the strain of traffic The steel COM
pauv knows this quite we'll
