IMPROVING HOME GROUNDS.
The Value of Such Work to Whole
Neigh borhood.

If you have just bought a home, q
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
it Il 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 honey" human and attractive
without these things The man and
woman who go out Sunday afternoons
to seek Il house to buy or rent invaria-
bly-chOOSe the one which stands upon
ground improved and beautifed, il
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 we'll and repay you for
all your work.
One live, artistic home owner in
block will awaken the whole neighbour
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
little night and morning to make his
property presentable doesn't deserve
n home outside of a fiat.
If about to buy a house where the
grounds are not improved it's a good
plan to cut through the new sod In
several places and see what is under
meath. Some builders have a humor-
Gus way of putting sod on layer of
lime, mortar and broken stone. If you
neglect this precaUtiOn you'll regret
it, because nothing will grow there eX-
cept troubles. Don't buy such place
unless the man first gives you a good
lawn and clear soil at the rear for a
garden. And then take care of it. No
two men will give you the same ad-
vice about how to do this. One will
tell you to sprinkle the lawn night and
morning, and another will say that
grass needs no water except the rains.
A wise way is to do as some success
full lawn owner has done in your own
neighbOrhood.
And, whatever else you neglect, don't
forget the dandelions and other weeds.
Right after a rain pull them up, roots
and all, and keep at it, There's no
other safe and sane way. Kerosene
will kill the grass roots. Cutting the
weeds doesn't kill them. Pull them

Birth of Music.

There are many legends concerning
the origin of music. but it is impossi-
bic to say which is the oldest, BY the
old Romans the god Mercury was cred
tied with the invention of music. Ac-
cording to ApaIIodorus, the belief was
as follows The Nile after an overflow
left on the shore dead tortoise. Its
flesh was finally dried up by the hot
sun, so that nothing remained in the
shell but the carriages, which, being
braced and contracted by the heat. be
came SOnOrous. Mercury, happening
to be walking that way and striking
his foot against the shell, was 50 pleas
ed with the sound produced that the
idea Of a Tyre presented itself to his
imagination He Immediately CON
structed the instrument in the form of
a tortoise and strung it with the sinews
of dead animals. And so music began.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion Of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition Of the muscous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infia ed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing. and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by Catalrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case Of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that can
