ENGLISH TOWN is A MODEL
Bonneville, Suburb of Birmingham,
Practically Ideal In All of Its
Arrangements.

Under the head Garden Cities
Wilhelm Miller gives us a splendid pic
ture of an ideal garden city. He says:
"The most perfect city l have ever
seen or heard of is the famous city of
Bonneville, a suburb of Birmingham,
England. was simply transported by
the healthfulness, happiness, and
beauty of the place, and believe it
gives the people more for their money
than any city on earth. Any one who
has cherished some noble vision of a
glorif1ed humanity would be intensely
interested to see Bonneville.
"Can you imagine yourself living
four miles from the city of Pittsburg
In a suburban town of about 5000 in
habitants, where there are no saloons
and never can be any slums, noiss
dirt, crowding, factory smells, bill
boards, or streets torn up for gas light
ing or sewers? Wouldn't you like a
chance to play golf, tennis, cricket,
bowls, or hockey under ideal circum-
stances at cost Of few cents day?
Wouldn't you be satisfied with the So
cial life of a community that has splen-
did schools, churches, baths, gymnasi.
UNI, Westinghouse, and one-tenth of its
whole area given up to parks and play
grounds? Wouldn't you feel safer in
city where the national birth rate
has been doubled and the death rate
cut in two? And what would you say
to a handsome brick house of seven
rooms and bath, with an eighth of an
acre already planted with fruit trees,
a month?
"Bourneville was founded by George
Cadbury, the cocoa manufacturer.
Only Al per cent. Of the renters at
Bonneville are employees of the fac
tory. The others came from any
where and everywhere, and many of
them spend their days in Birmingham.
Consequently the social life is that of a
normal, mixed community-not merely
industrial or suburban. In the second
place, Bonneville really pays. The
city's chief source of income is rent
Everybody pays per cent. on the in
vest"cnt actually made in his house
and lot. The city's income doubles ev-
cry five years ut is now fifteen years
old,) and ia fifty years, at this rate, it
will have an annual income of about
100000. And since 1t will never
have to pay back Mr.. Cadbury's gift
of about $775,0OO, the city will have
a large sum available for building 9th
er cities like Bonneville"

TREES FOR CITY STREETS
Silver Waffle Is Considered One of the
Best That ls Available at the
Present.

Acacia Dealbata, the silver waffle, is
one Of the best trees we have for city
street planting, and considered by the
writer Cat presents the very best We
are still in our infancy, in the street
tree question, for none has been sufi-
GENTLY proven to give us permanent
opinion as to it's comparative value.
We plant out a new tree, and after
four or five years trial conclude it Is
eminently satisfactory. At the end of
another five years the same tree may
be wretched subject, quite unfit for
street planting. The pepper alone has
stood the test of time, yet city resi-
dents do not want 1t, for they will not
properly plant and care for it, While
the silver waffle should be as well
cared for, it conducts itself properly
with little less restriction than the
pepper tree, and is really the most
beautiful of all acacias.

The pIstome and the Pearl.

In the opinion of many experts
pearls are the product of decay. The
free pearls found in the common
pearl-bearing moilusk are little tombs
surrounding the bodies Of the marine
werms known, as distomes.
In the month of August certain
nollusks are found that have num-
erous small reddish-yellow points In
the spot where pearls usually form.
frhen begins the imprisonment of the
creature. In the first stages the sur
face of the distone is sprinkled with
tiny grains OF carbonate of lime.

Model Dwellings for the Poor.

The Princess Polignac, formerly
Miss Winnaretta Singer, has just
opened in Paris the Foundation Sing
er Pohgnac, an apartment house for
"a families. These are designed to
give healthful living conditions for the
poor. The buildings are of brick and
iron. A room and kitchen may be had
for $44 year; with dining room in
addition, $50; with two rooms and a
large kitchen, dining room, kitchen
and bedroom, $S2. Thus all rents are
below the 800 rate, where taxes be-
gin. A garden costs 81 year in ad-
dition.

GOOD IN SCHOOL GARDENS
Aside From Everything Else, They
Bring Teachers and Parents In
Closer Communication.

Where school children have been
given seeds and plants to take home
mo way has been found to ascertain re-
suits. except to visit the homes. Luck.
Ply the work provides an excuse and
warrant. for this, for there Is some
thtng at home that belongs to the
school
Usually teachers and pupils do not
meet under circumstances favorable
to closer and more friendly relations
-the reverse is usually the case, and
the parent calls at the school. Now
the teacher calls to inspect Ce gar
den, an acquaintance results. with a
talk on gardening, simple but |neces-
sary directions are given for garden
work, and all concerned feel better.

Garden Clubs Good Work.

The garden club of Minneapolis has
shown how simple is the problem of
unsightly vacant lots. Last summer 1t
succeeded in getting sunflowers and
other plants to grow on nearly four
miles of street front of vacant land.
This screened the rubbish heaps from
view. In one street the club cleared
every unoccupied lot, and planted
grass and flowers where the rubbish
had been. When the season closed, the
club had under it's care thousand va
cant lot gardens and eighteen thou
sand home gardens.-Youth's Compan-

For Tidier Streets.

Every one besides that the city shall
be clean and tidy, but some people are
careless where they could be a help
in maintaining an orderly condition.
Waste paper scattered about is one of
the worst features of street untidiness,
and it is conspicuous in practically all
parts of most cities.
