AS soon as there was a university, the
clerks and students are seen running the

as gifts from substantial householders,

were given in families and exchanged

and the grass roots in the sod cannot find
their way into the clay underneath.
For time the appearance OF the lawn
is very pleasing, but when the hot suns
Of July and August make themselves felt

to find their way any deeper into the

moved when the foundations OF the house
are first begun were only saved and then
spread over the clay the result would be

1.-The chief consideration In preparing a
lawn is to have a sufficient depth Of good
soil in which the grass can take root 1t
is often advisable In the spring, when
the ground is soft. to roll the lawn and
thus pack the soil more firmly around
the grass roots. The grass should be kept
short enough. by frequent cutting. to al

then gets busy with her broom and feels

But this is mistake, for the dead grass

best possible one. Thus. It Is that II the
lawn is cut often enough to prevent

be necessary.
"Throughout the city the method Of
watering the grass seems to be practically
the same" continued Mr.. Mulford. THAT
is, by sprinkling the tops OF tho grass
every evening or q couple of times a
week This has fatal tendency to bring
the grass roots to the surface and when
tho hot sun beats down on them or the
sprinkling is neglected for several even
method OF watering can suggest Is to al
low q gentle stream Of water to now
throueh the hose. The hose should be
placed on the ground and allowed to stay
there for several hours. then moved to
another portion Of the lawn. This process
is necessarily long. but once week Is
SUFFICIENT. In this way the ground itself
Is soaked. In somewhat the same manner
as the large irrigation farms are treated.

Easter eggs that springtime day at the
hospitable board of Master Leonard, re-

Gayly the old-time Parisians had re-
turned from church to their festive noon

good man-banner bearer of the Roasters'
Union-sat at his own Easter table, with
