Beautifyinq the RAILWAYS,

In the west there is a growing appre-
citation of the movement to beautify
the steel highways a movement now
in popular favor and under full swing
on the Atlantic coast. Both steam and
electric lines in Los Angeles are each
year giving the matter more time and
attention. 1t is highly contagious
work, for it stimulates both towns and
rural districts to clean up and plant
streets and highways as well as to Inn
prove private places. We shall yet
see the day when all railway embank-
ments will be permanently planted
with suitable shrubbery.

How to Freshen Up Furs.

Owners of furs may have received
them from the summer storage and
found them dead looking and lusterless,
condition in which even handsome
furs are not attractive. This Is usual
ly due to the fact. says the Technical
World Magazine, that the fur is sim
ply sOled, and it may be cleaned and
frightened to a remarkable extent by a
simple method without the slightest
danger of injury to the article. This
Is the method employed by the Rus
slams, who are certainly the most ex-
tensive users of and probably the best
informed on the subject of furs of any
nation. Rye bran should be heated in
an iron or earthenware vessel, being
stirred all the while until it has be
come as hot as Is bearable to the hand.
The bran should then be poured upon
the fur in liberal quantities and thor
oughly rubbed in. The fur should then
be brushed with clean brush or shak-
en- and pounded until all the particles
of bran have been removed. The re-
suit of this treatment will be that all
dark furs have regained their freshness
and luster and that white furs appear
like new.

Selling by Fraud,

One of the catalogue houses, other
wise mail order stores, is selling for IS
an electroplated watch which it repre-
sents as having a gold filled case and
the house warrants the timepiece for
twenty years. Precisely the same
watch is sold at profit by many jew
elers for SO. The mail order concern
which sells it for $S makes at least S.
by clear and unauthorized fraud. Yet
many persons throughout the country
are buying this timepece just because
of the twenty years warrant and the
gold filling claim. Naturally a man
who has been handed lemon" will
not kick back If the lemon turns out
to be sour. so the catalogue house has
very little trouble from the complaints
OF those who find that the article they
get is not the one they order.

How to Save Trousers.

TO save mems trousers cut a broom
stick so it will fit under the lowest
shelf in the clothes closet, cover with
cotton batting about three or four
thicknesses, then with black cambria,
and sew this down tight. Make loop
on either end. Tack two tacks on the
shelf in the closet SO the stick will
hang about three or four inches down.
Fold mems and boys trousers by
creases, and they will look like new
every time by hanging them across the
covered stick.

How to Put on q Corset.

Fasten the abdominal hooks first,
lifting the body with long breath ut
the same time and holding the head
well back. This holds superhuous flesh
in the right place instead Of crOwding
1t downward, which can only be eX-
cessvely ugly as well as injurious,
says the New York American. After
the top of the front is hooked draw the
Topped laces from eyelets slightly be-
low the waist, pulling the bottom Of
the corset much tighter than the top.
Through this simple means healthy
breathing is permitted, for bodices are
so loose that it is only at the waist
and hips the figure needs to be held
taut

PROTECTING SHADE TREES.
Week Of Commissions Appointed For
That Purpose

The cities in New Jersey and Penn
sylvania are by statute now enabled to
appoint shade tree commissions to take
care of the shade trees on their streets
They can set out new trees and assess
the cost on the property benefited
They trim trees, protect them from in
jury clean out decayed trunks and fill
the holes with cement and wage war
against the insect pests. Municipal
Engineering describes the methods of
work of the shade tree commission of
East Orange. n. j., and shows what
can be done
In the trimming of trees great care
is taken to cut off all limbs close to
and even with the trunk. All scars are
painted with a coat of thick coal tar.
All trees on a street are pruned to a
uniform height, and as far as possible
that height is made ten feet, to clear
all street lights.
The campaign against the insects in
! Testing shade trees forms one Of the
chief tasks Of the commission. The
control of the injurious insects not
only preserves the foliage of the trees
for the season, but maintains their
health and vitality. What can be done
by persistent work in this line is
shown by the results with the woolly
maple scale Pseudococcus aceris),
which attacks the sugar maple. Other
pests are the tussock moths. attacking
the American elm and linden. the
white maple and the horse chestnut;
the cotton maple scale, attacking the
white maple; the elm leaf beetle, the
spring elm caterpillar, the bagworm
and the fall webworm. The idea con-
stantly borne in mind is to destroy the
insects in as early stage as possible,
to minimize both the amount Of work
required in treatment and the injury
done to the trees.

SONG OF THE CAVALRY.

OUR good steeds snuff the evening air.
~ Our pulses with their purpose tingle.
The foemans fires are twinkling there.
He leaps to hear our sabers Jingle.
Halt!
Each carbine sends its whizzing ball.
Now. cling, clang. forward all.
Into the fight!
HASH on beneath the smoking dome.
- Through level lightnings gallop nearer.
One look to heaven! No thoughts OF home.
The guidons that we bear are dearer.
Charge!
Cling! Clang! Forward all!
Heaven help those whose horses fall;
Cut left and right!
THEY fee before our fierce attack!
l. They fall! They spread in broken
surges.
Now, comrades, bear our wounded back
And leave the foeman to HIS djrges.
Wheel!
The bugles sound the swift recall:
Cling! Clang! Backward all!
Home and good night!

Ballad of Sleepy Bill.

In Sleepyvile dwelt Sleepy Bill.
Who kept a sleepy store.
A place was it to lounge or sit
And snore and snore and snore.
And sometimes came to play game
OF checkers three or four.
But seldom there a lady fair
A bargain came to buy.
For women's toys in catalogues
Quite often caught the eye.
So things for sale they bought by mall
At prices low or high.
In town one day appeared gay
And lively youth, who quoth:
"Why sit and snore and let your store
Run down? Upon my oath.
Lemme run things and make. by jings.
A fortune for us BOTH
Bill said 20. K" and dozed away,
But Mr.. Lively sized
Things up at once-he was no Ounce
And went and advertised
Such bargains rare Obi had EN- there)
The public was surprised.
The buyers came-young girl and dame
And youth and man and child.
There was rush. a real crush
In fact. to put it mild,
All Sleepyville woke up. until
The rush was almost wild.
And Bill awoke and even spoke.
He said: I'm feelin' sore.
I never thought folks would have
fought
To patronize my store.
guess them ads. is poplar fads-
Ill advertise some more!'
