IMPROVING HOME GROUNDS.
The Value Of Such Work to . Who'll,
keiahhorhood.


II you have just bought home. a
new place perhaps. where the side
walk and the curb are the only i'm
provements, don't get the idea that it
Is too late in the season to beautify
the grounds. If. on the other hand.
you have a home and have neglected
the lawn and you hope to sell the place
the rule still holds good. Don't neglect
1t a day The value Of such work is
proved by the fact that the most sue
cessful home builders, men whose
properties are sold often before the
houses are finished, spend almost as
much money for good sod and flowers
and shrubs as they do for paper and
paint These men know that no home
Is "homey," human and attractive
without these things. The man and
woman who go out Sunday afternoons
to seek house to buy or rent invaria-
bly, choose the one which stands upon
ground improved and beautifed, If
their means will permit. Any up to
date realty agent will tell you that.
You can plant flowers and shrubs now.
and they'll do well and repay you for
all your work
One live. artistic home owner in a
block will awaken the whole neighbor-
hood to the pride and satisfaction that
come with such things. 1t doesn't cost
much either The principal item is
the work, and the man who hasn't
enough gumption to exert himself a
little night and morning to make his
property presentable doesn't deserve
a home outside OF fat.
II about to buy house where the
grounds are not improved It's good
plan to cut through the new sod ir
several places and see what Is under
meath. Some builders have q humor
GUS way Of putting sod on layer OF
lime. mortar and broken stone. II you
neglect this precaution you'll regret
It. because nothing will grow there ex
sept troubles. Don't buy such place
unless the man first gives you u good
lawn and clear soil at the rear for g
garden. And then take care Of It Nc
two men will give you the same ad
vice about how to do this. One vii
tell you to sprinkle the lawn night ant
! morning. and another viii say thai
grass needs no water except the rains
A wise way Is to do as some success
full lawn owner has done in yorr owl
! neighl,orhood.
I And. whatever else you neglect. dom

Right after 4 rain pull them up. root

A Woman Soldier.

Eleonore Prochaska, born March II, 17S5. at Potsdam, was the daughter of a sergeant. After being brought up in the military orphanage of that town she became cook in some citizens house. When the great war against Napoleon broke out in 1913 she was led away by enthusiasm to quit her town secretly. By selling her poor be- longings she procured male attire and weapons and enlisted under the name of August Renz in the LutZow corps. On account of her tall, slender figure her sex was not. discovered until she was mortally wounded This happened in the encounter in the Gohrde forest. Regierungsbezirk, Luneburg, Kreis Dannenberg, Sept. 16, 1913. The Prus- sians were there attempting to storm hill occupied by the French, she act ing as a drummer In 1863 a monu- ment in memory of her was erected in the churchyard at Dannenberg and an- other in 1889 in the old churchyard of Potsdam.-London Sketch.

Ina Riaht Hand Seats.

The. Philadelphia Record quoted an observant street car conductor to the effect that the right hand seats are all ways filled first. He could not account for this except on the theory that, as most persons are right handed and ac- customed to turning to the right, it might be simply force of habit. ''There is another probable reason which he did not think of," says the Record. "It is generally believed that the right side of a car is safer. An
 old traveller once said to the writer Tn travelling always sit in the middle
 of car and on the. right hand side. The middle is safer than the ends in
 collision, and the right side is not likely to be ''side swiped'' by project ing objects on trains, cars or any ve- hicles passing on the adjacent track !"

Persuasion,

Dr. A. is a specialist in nervous ail- ments. In his most successful cases "persuasion" has played an important role. SiX-year-old Frank has evident ly had opportunity to imbibe his fa- ther's views on the efficacy of persua- sion, which. Dr. 4. contends. appeals to the highest psychic functions
 It was only few mornings ago that Mrs. A. overheard an altercation in the kitchen between Master Frank and the cook. Mary's voice rose in loud proteSta tions. Mrs. A. haStened to the scene and arrived just in time to see her son seize convenient broom and threaten Mary.
 'Why, Frank" she exclaimed in mortified amazement, what are you doing?"
 But Frank was equal to the occa- sion- "Pm just trying to persuade Mary for some angel cake," he ex- plained in a matter of fact way
 If this treatment may not have ap- pealed to Mary's highest psychic func- tions it at any rate tickled her sense of humor Frank gained his point New York Times.

Murat Halstead, the great journalist of war times, went to General Willia m T. Sherman's headquarters once for the latest news from the front'' Hal stead was armed with many fine intro ductory letters, but decided to rely mainly on one given him by Thomas Ewing, Shernlan's brother-inlaw. He found the general and presented Iswing's letter. The general opened 1t somewhat impatiently, read a few lines, folded it and said:
 An, you come from Ewing, and you desire to have all the latest news the next probable move of our army, eh We'll, there's a train leaving this town for Cincinnati at o'clock. Here, take this ticket and step over there and get your dinner and then get on that train."

Jspanese DeIicacies.

Under the head of Japanese Delica- cies'' the Berlin Prometheus gives a list of some of the queer things which are served to citizens of the Flowery Kingdom who have a refined taste -' In the provinces which are so distant from the sea that fresh fish cannot be obtained readily, and where meat is not abundant, snakes and lizards are considered good food and are prepared in many ways. GraSshoppers rank among the real delicacies. They are always kept in captivity without food for a day, then bathed and decapitated and made legless. Heads and legs must be torn of, never cut. They are served in various ways, but dry, with salad dressing, is the most popular. An insect of the bee family which lives in the earth is also much sought This is served with sugar or honey when eaten raw, but 1t is also made into a porridge. The chrysanthemum exists not only in the poetry. and art ofsthe Japanese. but has an important place on the table. where 1t is met as salad, candy and stew.

Stone Eaters.

Sir James Ross in the course of his travels noted a curious fact with re- gard to the penguin-namely, the habit of swallowing stones. In one speci- men he found ten pounds weight of quartz. granite and trap. Other ami mals, reptiles, fishes and mammals ex- hibit the same strange fancy. In a paper contributed to the proceedings of the Bristol Naturalists' society w. H. Wicks has collected a number of facts connected with such stomach stones. The fact noted by Mir. Wicks that the pebbles are usually white quartz is interesting, but does not ap- pear to throw any light on the strange habit-London Globe.

LaoIand Reindeers.

In April the Lapp lets his reindeer loose to wander as they please. and when the mosquitoes begin to abound, about midsummer, he collects his herd simply by catching one deer. fitting it with cell and trusting to instinct. which leads the animals to gather into herds for protection against tine mos Quitoes. to do the rest. In a cool sum- mer. when mosquitoes are few, this Instinct does not come into play, and it is almost impossible to bring the reindeer together.

There are clip tical bald spots, circular bald spots, elongated egg shaped bald spots, bald spots that are almost square and bald spots whose shape can hardly be de scribed for the reason that they in. clude the entire circumference of the head, with the. exception perhaps of 8 slight row of finishing fringe between the head and the neck.

A RemarkzhIe Race

The Lapps are very fond of stimu- iating drinks. They think nothing of drinking fifteen or twenty cups of cof- fee 8 day, while their consumption of punch is on a vast scale. It is no un- common thing to see numbers of help lessly drunk natives in the streets of TEon,so, especially when the sale of reindeer flesh has been profitable. Yet robbery and, indeed. crime in general are practically unknown among them. The Innate honesty of the people is quite extraordinary.-Wide World Mag nZine
