Garden Ideas.

There are, in the planting of gar
dens, two widel differing ideas.
Either a man makes a garden with
an eye to the effect, treating the
ground as his canves, the plants as
colors to be laid in, everything be-
ing subordinate to the general effect,
or he considers the garden as a home
for the plants, consulting their pre-
ferences holding 1t of more import
ance that his Miles should be in pre-
cisely the right place for their own
than that they should be in
view from the balcony. If he has an
abundance of roses, it is because he
loves them and cannot have too much
of them rather than that he wants
a notable effect in pink. Naturally
these two ideas work into and involve
each other Sometimes they unite
in one and the same garden, in which
case one feels the wisdom of Tenny-
sons remark that two dear things
make one of double worth"
1t is this latter type of garden
which predominates in Charleston.
A very notable effectiveness and the
more intangible quality of lovable-
ness rarely ge hand in hand; but for
a garden within ones gates an inti-
mate and endearing charm is better
than the most brilliant effect from
the street; on the same principle
that, If a man must spend his life
with one woman, lovableness is bet
ter, in the long run, than a striking
beauty, though 'twere pleasant to
have both.-From Frances Duncan's
Charleston Gardens in the Century.

Fine RESIDENCE Burned.

Alayfeld, KY, March 6.-The new
and handsome residence of Mrs. NJ.
E. Melon, north of the city just
across the city limits, was completely
destroyed by fire Tuesday morning
about G O'Clock. The house was a
two-story structure with ten rooms
and was practically new, having been
constructed last summer. The con-
tents was also total loss with the
exception of piano and the fixtures
of one room belonging to boarder.
The house was valued at $4,000. 1t
was handsomely furnished through
out and the loss of the furniture and
other articles will fall quite heavy.
There was $4,000 insurance on the
house and $1,000 on the household
fixtures.

MRS HENRY LEE

Owing to modern methods of living
not one woman in a thousand APP
proaches this perfectly natural change
without experiencing a train of very
annoying and sometimes painful
symptoms.
This is the most critical period of
her whole existence and every woman
who neglects the care of her health
at this time invites disease and pain.
When her system is in deranged
condition or she is predisposed to
apoplexy or congestion of any organ,
the tendency is at this pc | o d
likely to become active and with a
host of nervous irritations make life a
burden. At this time also cancers
and tumors are more liable to form
and begin their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as sense
of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches,
backaches, melancholia, dread of inn
pending evil, palpitation of the heart,
Irregularities, constipation and dizzi-
ness are promptly needed by intel
ligent women who are approaching
the period of life when this gre t
change may be expected.

A DRAMATIC EXPERIENCE.

Most dramatic I'm its experience of
all the 1901 expeditions, hardly sur

was that of the Swedes under Nor
deiskjold. Landed at Snow Hill on
Seymour Island. Nordenskjold, and
his party bade goodby to Captain Lar
sen and the Antarctic, built them a
house and settled down to scientific
work for the summer, and as 1t turned
out for the winter. Larsen's instruc-
tions were to reft at the Falkland
Islands, to give the biologists of that
party chance at TERRA del Guego,
and to come back to Snow Hill in the
summer of 1902.
That summer and the next winter
passed and Nordenskjold and his
comrades saw nothing of Larsen or
of the Antarctic. One day they saw
coming over the ice and rocks two
objects which every one at first as
serted were emperor penguins, but on
coming nearer proved to be Duse and

The work of distributing adver-

There will be a number of new

Antarctic Birds,

Before the recent Scotia expedition
nine species of birds had been found
within the antarctic circle. The new
collection has been investigated, and
Eagle Clarke reports that II adds to
the list four speoies-the arctic tern,
the blue petrol, the short.winged
petrol, and Hutton's sooty albatross.
While the petrels and their relatives
are doubtless drawn so far south by
the extraordinary abundance of the
food near the ice barrier, it is thought
to be most remarkable that the arctic
tern, after breeding in the north,
should make the long journey to the
opposite pole.
