Some Suggestions.

Select those trees and shrubs which
are the commonest, because they are
the cheapest. hardest and most likely

and bare that enough plants can not
be secured, without money, for the
home and school yards. You will find
them in the woods, in old yards, along
the fences. 1t is little matter if no
one knows their names.
A rare or strange plant may be in
troduced now and then from the
nurseries if there is any money with
which to buy such things. Plant it
at some conspicuous point Just in
front of the border, where it will show
off we'll. be out of the way, and have
some relation to the rest of the plant

gated-leaved bushes will add
much to the spirit CT the place, but
many Of them make it look fussy and

Have a definite plan for your plant
ing, considering we'll the size and con-
tour Of your grounds. The aim should
be to hide, by the aid Of trees and
shrubbery, all objectionable buildings,
or portions of the place. and to so
locate the trees and shrubs as to give
a pleasing outlook and to afford pro-
lection from the winds. They should
be planted however, in natural groups
and nature does pot plant in straight
stiff rows. Remember TOO. that flower
beds are much more effective when
framed in suitable background of
foliage than when planted in open
spaces. The open spaces should be
made attractive with beautiful grass.
Flowers also are effective in. window
boxes, or along the edge OF the ground

climbing roses about porches, walls,

FREE FROM THE BLIGHTING IN
FLUENCE OF THE SALOON

The General Assembly of the Presbyterian
church listened to a stirring report from their
temperance committee last week in which ap
peared this paragraph:
Eight million six hundred thousand people
abolished the saloon last year, including four en-
tire states. The seven Prohibition states have
population of over 1O,OOOO0O, while 27000,00o
more live in other Prohibition territory, making
about forty-fve percent of the total population
of the United States free from the blighting in
huence of the saloon"
1t seems to us that nothing is gained from an
over-optimistic statement of anything; rather,
there is the opportunity for much loss. When
the temperance committee said to the General
Assembly that forty-hve percent of the total
population of the United States are "free from
the bHghting influence of the saloon" the state
ment was not only inaccurate but wholly mis-
leading. It may be possible that forty-lve per
cent of the people of the United States do live
in territory that is what the country today calls
dry but to count that forty-fve percent there
must be included such localities as Hyde Park
and Englewood in Chicago, the no-license town.

Dakota farmer, were every joint driven out of
his state, would still sell his wheat in competi-

homes where the bread supply is scanty that the
beer supply may be lavish. And when we come
to consider the question in smaller localities
the inaccuracy of the statement is manifest in
moment Who will claim that the farmers

The spread of that popular sentiment that is
giving us no-license territory throughout the
United States is cheering, indeed but let us not
delude ourselves with the idea that the real end
is being accomplished We are making progress
perhaps rapid progress-along the line of in
creased public sentiment but the end to be &C

According to the press dispatches, Mrs. CARRY
NATION has again been sentenced to Jail, this
time III Plttsburg, upon the charge of "scoldlng
and embarrassing" four men. We are wholly
without particulars in the case since past ex-
per1ence has taught us that where Mrs NATION
is concerned the press dispatches cannot be de-
pended upon, except to misrepresent and falsify.
We do not know what Mrs. NATION did do but
we are very well assured that she did nothing
to harm any human creature We ourselves
have frequently seen men so behave, both in
Pittsburg and other cities, that it seemed to us
they certainly needed "scoldng,' though we
doubted if anything could "embarrass" them If
the courts of Pittsburg were half as Jealous to
protect the poor and children of that
city against the scolding and embarrassment and
outrage and wrong that come to them out of the
door Of the saloon as they have been in this
instance to punish good for what, at
worst, was nothing more than an indiscretion,
things would be vastly better in that great and

Some of our American cities are just going
through another of the periodical hydrophobia
"scares" and the cry, "Muzzle the dogs" sounds
far and wide. Unquestionably there is a small
basis of fact behind these constantly recurring
panics. Mad dogs do kill few people, and, so
far as that is preventable it ought to be stopped
and any carelessness that leads to it is criminal.
But where mad dogs kill one person, the saloon
demonstrably kills score. We say "demonstra-
ably that is, so clearly that no one can for
moment dispute its responsibility. When the poor
STARR boy for example, killed that policeman on
Sixty-third street last winter and blew his own
brains out in wild despair, it was the saloon that
did the double murder and all men know it.
Yet we have heard mighty little about "muzzing"
