only recognized when the average
smoker tries to contemplate his pre-

time when he had to coax spark

answer is, he would smoke a great
deal less because of the difficulty In
getting a light, or else, on the other
hand, smoke continuously in order TO
keep alive the fire at the end Of his
stogie or Havana, pipe or cigarette,
as the case might be.

MAKING A COUNTRY SCHOOL,
HOUSE BEAUTIFUL.

Setting school-house in dense
woods is worse than having one in
an open field without trees, for the
health Of the pupils is promoted by
having the sunshine on the house
at times. But house standing on a
bare lot, without even grass around
1t, and often an implanted, barn-like
structure, is simply hideous. But
where there is some attempt at plant
ing 1t is generally In the nature of
making a grove over the whole lot,
and this, too, is wrong, for 1t pre-
vents the growth of grass or the plant
ing Of hower.beds and shrubbery
Trees Of large size should be used
mainly on the outskirts to. frame in
a picture OF a pretty lawn and some
fiower-beds. Make a wide border
around the building and plant Il with
variety OF lowering shrubbery that
will bloom at different times in the
season. Have a walk curving from
one side Of the lot past the door and
out at the other side so that there
can be a broad scope OF grass in
the center Around the outskirts
plant a variety OF trees and give them
room to take their natural ,forms.
making with them a broad, irregular
border to the lot, and not planting
them in straight rows like an orchard.
Make these trees largely evergreen,
for the school is held mainly in
winter, but still have some deciduous
ones for their spring beauty. Then
do not trim up the coniferous ever
greens or the magnolias with an ugly
stem, but let them branch from TIE
ground in natural form.
Keep playground in rear and screen
out the rear buildings OF convenience
with lattice and vines. On the outer
edges of the shrubbery border around
the house, which screens the base
of the building, you can have fall
planted bulbs, such as hyacinths and
tulips and narcissus, and follow these
In summer with annual plants that
the pupils are taught to raise from
seed in boxes and outside. Once get
the children interested In making the
front of the lot beautiful and they
will not damage II. Lawn mowers are
very cheap now. and the lawn should
be regularly mown and the grass
annually top-dressed with fertilizer to
promote the growth OF the grass.
Now is the time for planting the
declduous trees and shrubbery, but
spring will be better for the ever
greens.
Then, where the long-leaf pine
grows go into the woods and with
sharp spade cut under the young trees
a foot or so high to cut the tap root
Then let them stand another season,
and they can be moved after they
have made more lateral roots. Little
cedars foot high transplant easily,
as do also the little cypress trees from
the swamps and they make finer trees
on the dry ground than in the swamps.
