CARE OF THE LAWN.

The oftener grass Is moved the
better it will Withstand dry weather
II 1t becomes necessary to apply water
during July or August, do it thor
oughly. A little wetting with the
good for nothing lawn sprinkler is
worse than none.
Enough water should be applied,
says the Village, so that the ground
below the sod becomes thoroughly
soaked, thus attracting the roots
downward. Do not use the lawn
mower when the grass is wet.
Try using commercial fertilizer
on the lawn at intervals during the
summer. The manufacturers make
a lawn fertilizer that is much more
eff1cacious than stable manure. more
cleanly and sanitary.
If old, Well-rotted manure could be
applied very thick and allowed to
remain, some good might be accom-
plished, but the usual custom is to-
spread a thin coat. leave it few
weeks and then rake it off. 1t might
about as well not be used at all.
The commercial fertilizer is much
better in every way. BY it's use an
old, worn out lawn may be- rejuve-
mated. ANY fertilizer dealer who
knows his business is able to give
full information about its cost and
use.
If you have thin, weedy spot in
your lawn, scratch it and sow grass
seed very thick IF at first you don't
succeed in getting turf try again.
Thick grass will drive out the weeds
in time.

in each piece given to the animals

After Burbank.

Shortly after new administration
took hold of a well-known Southern
railroad a great number of claims
were preferred against the company
on account of horses and cattle being
killed along the line in Kentucky. To
make matters worse, it appeared that
every animal killed, however worth
less it may have been before the ac-
cident, invariably figured in the
claims, subsequently presented as
being of the best blood in Kentucky.
One day, in conversation with one
of the roads. attorneys. the president
became very much excited in refr-

HOUSE IN THE GARDEN.

Ethel had a July birthday. She
had celebrated nine birthdays in her
short life, to the accompaniment of
birthday cakes and candles, and flow
ers, and candies, and dolls, and doll
carriages. Indeed, SO many good
things had come to her that even
mamma and papa began to rack their
brains to find some sort of surprise
for the tenth anniversary of their
only little girl.
Aunt May put the idea into Mrs.
Gordon's head.
"Why don't you build her a play
house, Sister FAM"
ETHEL is too big to play with
dolls"
Never! I love mine now-in Sc
cret; but don't mean dolls house.
I mean a playhouse big enough in
side to hold her and her friends; and
outside finished off like genuine
house, gables, turrets, windows and
ALL"
What an Imagination you have?"
laughed Mrs Gordon.
eff you'll give me leave to carry
it out, I'll show you what can be
done. I've seen the dearest little
houses, but they cost money.
Every well, go ahead" said Mrs.
Gordon. GAS long as Ethel is pleased
I'm not counting the cost"
So Aunt May went to work, as she
always did, with her whole heart and
soul. But no one knew what she
had done in the two months time
before the birthday.
Ethel opened her eyes on clear,

Who BOsSed.

Once upon time youth who had
commenced to navigate the sea of
matrimony went to his father and
said:.
Father, who should be boss, I or
my wife,"
Then the old man smiled and said:
Here are 100 chickens and team
of horses. Hitch up the horses, load
the chickens into the wagon, and
wherever you find man and his wife
dwelling, stop and make inquiry as to
who is the boss. Wherever you find a
woman running things leave chick
en-. If you come to place where a
man is in control give him one of the
horses"
After seyenty-nine chickens: had
been disposed OF he came to a house

So the wife was called and she af-
firmed her husbands assertion:

was the boys reply.
So the husband replied: "I'lf take

But the wife didn't like the bay
horse, and she called her husband
aside and talked to him. He returned
and said:
Il believe I'll take the gray horse"

THE PIE PLANT.

In the neighborhood where the
writer passed his boyhood days only
now and then did a family have a
good supply of this early and very de-
sirable plant in the garden, but other
places were equally neglected and are
so even up to the present time, for,
surprising as it is, even now, but few
family gardens have more than one
or two plants and very many have
none at all. As it is a very easy
plant to grow it is hard to understand
why 1t is so sadly neglected. 1t is
hardly too late even now to make a
beginning in its culture for future
supply. Send to some scotsman for

:, Ethel found dressing easy, with
some one to button her shoes and
comb her hair and fasten her dress.
Then mamma and papa came, also
very much excited, and Ethel was
hurried down the shady avenue, past
the hothouses and geranium beds, to
the further end of the lawn, on which
she had not been allowed to play
for many weeks.
AS she reached the geranium bor-
der she suddenly stood quite still and
uttered a little shrek. There before
her rose a miniature of her own dear
home. 1t. was a perfect little house,
set hack in a lovely garden, laid out
in fascinating flower ibeds. There
was-s.a pretty fence around it, just
like the home fence, and little iron
gate. 80 ~;
There. were gay rockers on a dear
piazza, and Ethel went Wonderingly
forward, pushed on by Aunt Mary.
She looked-through the front door
into perfect little sitting room, with
rattan furniture and lace curtains
in the windows and a cunning tea
stove with a pipe going out through
the real roof, just like the one in their
big, old fashioned home kitchen.
Ethel was speechless with delight.
No little girl ever had a present more
calculated to make her happy.

there for many years, and Ethel's own

DEATH OF FAMILY PET.

J. Howard Henry, well-known
abstracter of the city, appeared last
night at police headquarters with
fine old Irish setter dog which has
been the family pet for over ten
years. "Poor old Don has been suf-
fering of late with the rheumatism,
explained Henry 1--WE are afraid he
might freeze to death this winter,
so we decided to bring him down and
have him shot"
'I wouldn't shoot that dog for
fifty dollars if he was mine," growled
big policeman. "I'd about as soon
shoot my brother as dog like that,
which had been in the. family SO
long. He wouldn't freeze, for I'd
take him in the house where it was
warm and make him up pallet on
the floor behind the parlor stove"
But old Don was led away, not by
string, but by a command from
his master to the killing post. His
neck was fastened to the post by a
wire and Police Officer Leasure was
told to kill him. The officer walked
behind the dog, so he could not see

FEEDING ZOO ANIMALS,


There is a part of the Zoo that the
public is not allowed to visit. 1t
may surprise many to know that
there exists in an out-of-the-way cor
ner of the gardens an inclosed space
where horses are examined, and often
kept for some little previous to being
slaughtered. Disease cannot be de-
tected so easily in the carcass as in
the live animal, and were carcasses
bought the possibility of the car
nivora becoming infected would not
be nearly so remote as it is now.
The only case in which the Zoo re-
ceives a carcass is where a horse,
having met with an accident in the
street, has to be slaughtered at once.
IL it has a. healthy record the Zoo
authorities do not refuse it.
= Not. en1y in this way is much care
exercised in the choice of horsefesh,
but when a carcass is cut up it is
