Why Should He Boast?

RAILWAY BEAUTY SPOTS.
'shlox and Hydraneeas For Stations.
Blue Grass Fer RIGHT of Way.

One of the good things for which
people have to thank the railroads is
the progress they are making in beau
tifying 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 it is to keep the rails and ties in
good order. Flowers and shrubbery
are planted in artistic plots, and gar
dcners keep them fresh and flourish
ing
At station on the Long Island rail-
road, which is subsidiary of the
Pennsylvania. GOO 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 I'M
slightly rock or dirt are transformed
into green terraces.
IIcnceforth 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.

Hydrophobia is in reality so rare and

water and drink eagerly if they are

Iron fences can easily he made at
beauty of town by following the
scheme described in this article
There is little two story house on
Il street in West Philadelphia that
boasts one of the prettiest rose hedges
that ever reminded the tired city
gardens. The house has, as most West
Philadelphia houses do a wee bit of
sOddcd yard behind it--only few feet
square and surrounded by low iron
fence
Over this fence the roses trail. gay
crimson ramblers and dainty pink ram
blcrs and rare bits of swcctbrier. From
the street through the narrow distance
that separates the house from its neigh
boring pair the passerby catches
glimpsCs of what looks like some love
ly pleasure garden. In the warm days
the family who live in the little house
all the year around eat their supper in
corner of the yard beside the roses,
and on summer afternoons they enter
tain callers there. It is one Of the
prettieSt places in town, this back yard
of Il little two story house.
And all that the wise housewife did
was to buy some little rose plants, the
climbing kind, ana train them over that
ugly wire fence.

How to Water Flower Beds.

You will feel better within forty eight hours after beginning to take such remedy as Dr. Shoop's restorative. Its prompt action in restoring the weak est nerves is surprising.
