RAILWAY BEAUTY SPOTS.

Phlox and Hydrangeas For Stations.
Blue Grass For Right of Way.
One Of the good things for which
people have to thank the railroads is
the progress they are making in beau
tifylng their right of way.
1t is the practice Of the Pennsylva-
mia, as Moody's Magazine points out,
to surround its passenger stations,
which are practically the doorways to
towns and cities, with little parks with
terraces and gracefully curving paths
and roadways. To care for these sta
ton parks is part Of the duty Of the
maintenance of way department, just
as 1t is to keep the rails and ties in
good order. Flowers and shrubbery
are planted In artistic plots, and gar
deners keep them fresh and flourish
ing.
At a station on the Long Island rail-
road, which is a subsidiary Of the
Pennsylvania, 600 trees and shrubs be-
sides beds Of phlox and hydrangeas
were set out this year. For another
station on the Long Island 425 shrubs
and twelve trees have been ordered Of
the so called perennials and ever
greens.
In the open country, too, far from
towns, the Pennsylvania has adopted
the policy of making its right Of way
pleasant to look at. Slopes Of un-
slightly rock or dirt are transformed
into green terraces.
Henceforth the standard roadbed,
when the tracks are in a cut. will in
clude the sodded slopes. Blue grass
used for sodding will prevent the ero-
sion which has given engineers so
much trouble in times past In helping
to solve the drainage problem the grass
Is even more useful than it is orna-
mental.

For five years 1 suffered from kidney
trouble in its worst form. Every part of
my body was more or less swollen to an
