How Some Pretty and Marvellous Eff

There are degrees of skill in all pas
times, but one would hardly think that
there were specialists in the art OF
blowing soap bubbles. An article in
the Windsor Magazine by Meredith Nu-
gent however, shows that some very
pretty and marvellous effects may be
obtained by the exercise of care and
patience with soap and water.
The first step is to make a solution
by rubbing pure white CASTLE soap into
a bowl partly filed with water until a
lathcr has been formed. Then remove
every particle of lather, dip cley pipe
into the cleared solution and start to
blow q bubble
If you can blow one six inches in d.
ametcr SO that it will hang suspended
from the pipe and will allow your fore
finger covered with the solution to be
pushed through into the bubble with
out breaking then the mixture is ready
for use
Six bubbles may be blown, one inside
the other. This IS performed by dip

Tree Planting Alons Roads.

The Stockton Gal, Arhor club has
commenced IN active campaign TO
raise funds for the purpose of saving
the fourteen miles Of trees planted
along four roads leading out of Stock
ton. The scarcity of moisture this
season makes 1t necessary that the
trees he watered several times. and adj
dftional funds are necessary to carry
the many fine trees that have been
growing through the summer. 1t is
also the Intention of the Arbor club to
later extend the tree planting on the
four roads already lined with trees.
Officers OF the organization hope be-
fore many years to have the main

A General Cleanup 10 Of First Con-

Many are the anxious inquirerg who
work to attack In the fight for civic
beauty. The question is usually of only
local significance and may be solved by
those interested If they will but OBJ
serve the most pressing needs of the
community. As a rule, nothing will so
effectually and SO cheaply improve a
section as the cleaning of streets, park
ways and vacant lots. This accom-
plished. an air of general thrift and
cleanliness Is at once noticeable by all.
whether residents or visitors. Individ.
uals will catch the fever, and general
cleanup Of private premises will still
further improve the scene, says the
Los Angeles Times. Some funds will
be needed for the public work. and
these may be obtained by starting an
improvement association with low
membership fee, and the organization
need not live beyond the cleanup pc
Rod.
Whether the association is to he
made permanent should be gagged by
the interest and enthusiasm manifest
by the general public. If only few
are interested the fight for permanence
will prove hard one, but if enthusi-
assn dominates the whole people do
not rest with a simple cleanup, which
Is only a negative move, but engage in
some permanent improvement looking
to the identifying and lettering Of the
whole field under consideration. Doubt
less the easiest task and the one most
productive of lasting results in proper
ton to the cost is the planting Of street
trees. If money is only on hand for a
single block Of planting. do not be dis
couraged. but make this block COM
plete and orderly, and it will then not
prove SO hard to add tlereunto. At this
stage Of the game some enthusiastic,
energetic workers will be needed to
fan the feeble spark into an active
fame. If you can get one street plant
ed you can eventually and in the near
future secure the adornment of ALL
ANY community with we'll planted
streets is well on the highway toward
the goal Of the city beautiful, and less
difficulty will be experienced with
every successive step.

Wink at Some Things.


"When you have mastered the gentle

field, "you hold the key to success in
your hands,
Every ones personality is made up
of trivial failings and trivial talents.
Foster the good qualities in your
friends and subordinates and wink at
those failings so dear to their possess
ors. Not to see everything is a rule
which will strengthen friendships and
help you to get the best results from
your fellow workers.

did more to lose the day than all the

IT, Effect Upon the Fortunes Of Our
Revolutionary War.

tS EneSt upon the FofSuheS OF Our
Revolutionary War.
The element Of chance as exempli-
fed in the blunder Of copyist had an
important bearing on the result Of cur
war for independence. AS is well
known, the crisis Of the military be-
tween Great Britain and the revolving
colonies was reached when General
Burgoyne's campaign was planned in
London. The object was to strike a
tremendous blow at the center of the
Revolution. The British forces were
to take possession Of the Mohawk and
Hudson valleys by a concentric march
from Lake Champlain, Oswego and
New York on converging lines toward
Albany. The ascent of the Hudson by
Sir William Howe's army was essen
tial to the success Of scheme by
which New England was to be cut of
as by wedge from the southern colo
MES.
Orders were sent out from London
for the advance Of Burgoyne's and ST.
Leger's forces from Canada. At first
Sir William Howe was merely inform
ed of the plan and was armed with
discretionary powers, but finally a dis
patch was drafted positively ordering
him to cooperate in the movement
from New York
A British clerk made a hasty and
very careless copy Of the dispatch,
which the minister, Lord George Ger
maine, found great difficulty in read
Ing He angrily reprimanded the cul-
prit and ordered a fresh copy to be
made without flaw or erasure. Being
pressed for time and anxious for a
holiday, Lord George posted off to the
| country without waiting for the fresh
! copy.
The military order was laboriously
copied in the clerks best hand, but
when 1t was finished the minister was
not there to sign it. 1t was pigeon
holed and overlooked when he returned
and was not sent to America until long
afterward. Howe, being left with full
discretion, allowed himself to be draw
into military operations against Wash
ington's army near Philadelphia. Bur-
goyne's army was cntrapped, cut off
from retreat and forced to surrender
at Saratoga.
Thus the fortunes Of the Revolution
airy war turned upon the carelessness

SCHOOL GROUND BETTERMENT
What Can Be Done to Make Common
Property Attractive.

While we are imbued with the gar
dening fever let us look to the district
school yard and note if it has all we
could wish for In the way Of plant
life. If not, what can you do to make
it more interesting, instructive or at
tractiye? OF course there are school
yards where there Is not sufficient
space for flowers, others where the
school board has covered the garden
space with temporary buildings and
still others where they have built so
ugly and unsightly or insutiiciently as
to disgust the neighborhood residents,
who will do nothing until the wrong
Is righted
AS rule, however, school yards
in general are capable of pleasing eff
fects by the judicious planting of
tree shrub and vine. Where such is
the case it Is well to bear in mind
that it is the one piece Of neighborhood
property in which all are interested,
all have common ownership and that
upon all its condition reflects credit or
criticism. What is the condition of
your school yard? Can you Individual
ly or with your neighbors collectively
do anything to improve it? If so, act
that it may be a credit and a comfort
to you and yours.

A SON of Romance.


Ricciotti Garibaldi. who was arrested
recently for what perhaps IL an every.
day offense among the masses In Italy,
is evidently bent upon living up to the
romantic rather than the noble fame
OF his venerated father. Young Carl
baldi seems to covet the limelight. His
father was very unassuminG hero
born to do great work, which he did
well, then retired to obscurity. In his
early days the outside world looked
upon the first Garibaldi as something
Of an adventurer, a sort of Raisuli, who
made patriotism a pretense and was
always looking out for No. l. He and
his followers formed picturesque
group and were given to deeds that
smacked Of the age Of chlvalry rather
than of the nineteenth century. Pei
haps Ricciotti is barking back to the e.
ties, the days of the Carbonari. when
his father was striker rather than
liberator and protector, with a price
set on his head.
It Is the talk of Europe that young
Garibaldi's sword has price set upon
it and that he will fight for the side
that puts up the biggest purse. Tho
career of his foreign legion" during
the war between Turkey and Greece is
often recalled as an orgy Of plundering,
in which the victims were the very
people he pretended to help fight their
battles Since that time he has been
accused of conspiring to overthrow the
italian government, from which he
draws substantial annuity. He is
also claimant for share in the
crown property of Naples, which his
father turned into the Italian treasury
when he captured the city and drove
out the king and queen in 1850. III
this suit Ricciotti appears to be playing
upon the name and services Of his IA
ther and probably expects that tho
! italian nation will buy him off rather
| than seem ungrateful to the memory
| Of the name he bears. Old Garibadi
lived and died wrapped in the halo OF
disinterested patriotism, and his son
would do we'll to leave that halo undis-
turbed in SO far as it rests with Carl.

Heart Disease a National Peril?

At the recent annual meeting Of the
Chronological association the public
was warned by one of the lecturers
that under the conditions Of American
life prevailing at present heart dis
ease is national peril. In making
err of health in New York city. de-
clared that the effect of high strung
nervous tension induced by modern
methods Of social and business compe-
tition is factor in the production of
functional and ultimately organic dis
ease Of the heart. He asserted that
out Of 275.O0O school children exam
ined in the New York public schools
70 per cent were found to be suffering
from some physical abnormality, and
of this percentage $500 had heart dis
ease in some form.
TOO much is expected of the young.
and they are goaded too much. Final
ly they get into the habit Of straning
both at their tasks and in their play.
Even keenly contested games leave
their vicious imprint on the physical
status of immature and undcveloped
youth. The doctor referred to the ear
" days Of our national life, when the
young were allowed to grow up nat
urally. Children who were good schol-
ars were kept at lessons, but those
who were Indifferent to books were
given a chance at something else
Eagerness to excel soon begets phys
zeal and mental unrest, and this lasts
on through the age of maturity No
doubt many people are urged beyond
their capacity by influences on the out
side. Like the plant and the tree. the
human being cannot be urged too
much without sacrifice of viri!ty and
hardness.
