Long Green, 18th District.-Last Sunday
being the first Sunday in May many persons
came out from Baltimore to enjoy the day
among the green fields and fragrant blossoms
of the country. This is an annual custom
that appears to be growing in favor.
The unfavorable weather of this week has
been the cause of another setback for the
farmers who have had to face any number OF
discouragements this spring. But no doubt it
will come out all right in the end.

Rossville, 18th District.-Mr. George L..

four crops from it this year. The growth is

of both rolling and level surface. but he sug.
gested that much yet remained for the owners
to do before the best use had been made of
these advantages.
In speaking of the soil with which Balti-
moreans have to contend in their suburban
homes the speaker said that while it was diff
cult it was by no means impossible. Said he :
1.-The red clay which have noticed here is
really good soil; it contains all the elements
which go to make such, but the particles are so
minute that air and moisture will not pene-
trate it. What you people want to do is to
tighten it, and then you can raise anything.
Use coal ashes if you have them; if not then
get sand or lime. ANY of these will tighten
the soil, and, with the addition of manure,
you have the proper foundation for any sort of
garden. One Of the easiest ways to improve
soil is to grow crop of cowpeas or crimson
clover and then pillow it under"
In the laying off of gardens and lawns Mr..
Barron emphasized the concentration of effort,
and said that one of the chief faults he had
seen in the gardening about Baltimore was
the tendency to cut up the lawn with sprink-
ling of shrubs about it. you cannot fell an
OK with a tack hammer, he said, land no.
body can get gorgeous satisfying effect with
a half dozen shrubs standing like sticks about
the turf" Mass shubbery in corners and at
the entrance of the property was the keynote
of his talk, and he especially advised against
the using of too many varieties. He said !:
feet, and the ideal effect is where the garden
ing is subservient to the house and in harmony
with it." Hss
Another point,in the. selection of plants is
the covering of architectural deficiencies in the
house. When ahouseis too high-so tall that
it is conspicuous much can be done to relieve
this effect by the massing of tall shrubbery
and the planting Of tall hedge about it.
Vines, too, will tend to pull down" house.
Equal care must be taken when the house is
of q low appearance to keep high hedges and
shrubs from around it.
The speaker rather deplored the use of for
NAL gardening, pleading rather for natural eff
fects-effects that fit into the landscape and
make the garden seem but part of the one
great scheme. Where the surroundings are
those of the woodland, he advocates the wood
land garden, where all the beauties of the for
est and roadside are planted and grown in per-
fiction. He criticised the pruning of shrubs
so rigidly for formal effects that they would
not bloom, and that the invariable rule for
pruning all shrubbery was Immediately after
the blooming time.

For Air Regeneration.

Fused sodium peroxide, electrically
prepared. is the chemical agent in q
process OF air regeneration that has
been recommended for such purposes
as submarine boats, etc. In contact
with water, pure oxygen is given OF,
caustic soda being formed. The soda
absorbs the carbolic acid, coating the
peroxide with crust OF carbonate.
which Is removed by shaking the
chemical in wire net or gauze cylin-
der. 1t is found that six and three
fourths ounces of the peroxide give
the seven gallons OF oxygen required
by one man per hour. and that 20
pounds should sustain nine men in a
submarine Of 2.70O cubic feet capacity
for nine hours before the carbonic
acid In the air breathed would increase
to troublesome quantity.

overpaid Austrian Official.

That no sum is too small to be taken
into account by the lynx-eyed Austrian
officials Is evident from an incident
reported from Bregenz. The tax office
there has Just received formal notice
from the high court of justice at Inns
bruck stating that an investigation of
the accounts Of the Bregenz tax office
for 1906 shows an overpayment of one
heller (one-teuth Of penny in the
salary of one Of the officials.
: The notice directs that the official
be required to refund this sum, which
must then be duly entered in the state
accounts for the current year. A Vor-
ariberg paper publishes a facsimile of
this interesting document. and gravely
expresses the hope that the extra
heller has not led the overpaid Official
into paths Of extravagant dissipation.

Parslmony Means Health.

did you ever notice." said a prom
lnent physical culture teacher of New
York. that parsimonious people al
most always enjoy good health and
long life? Eating has a great deal to
do with this. We learn that one
wealthy person lunches always on a
cup Of tea and doughnut; that the
great standby Of another was apples.
ut is not that they eat frugally that
accounts for their excellent health,
but that there is SO much regularity
in their diet. The first thing the eco
nomical person does. as a rule, is to
reduce living to a system. He studies
how he can subsist best for the least
money, and then allows himself very
little variety from the regular order
of things.
Regularity Of diet means a great
saving Of time and money in his eyes.
and, whether he knows 1t or not, in
adopting rule Of eating there is moth
ing which counts so much in building
up robust constitution"

symptoms are likely TO be present in any

cases often run into maladies which de-
result fatally.

Is to streng then, invigorate and regulate

Revenue From Playing Cards.

One result Of the Austrian's love Of
gambling is the nice little sum of
$150.000 which the ministry of finance
derived last year from the tax on
playing cards. Ten manufacturers, en-
ploying 236 hands. turned out 1878 900
packs Of cards In 1906. an average Of
a pack for every two families in the
country. These cards were of differ
ent varieties-152.0OO for tarock, 1885,
900 for German games, $4,000 for
picquet, 100000 whist, and 10000 for
