After Blossom had cracked a two-base
hit in the fourth and had been nailed
at the plate in trying to score on Rid

Reilly's single.
Cornish came through with Yales other
run in the next inning. when he was
hit, reached second on Burdette's sacri-
fee. and scored on Giles safe drive into
left. The teams went to Boston tonight

STREET TREE PRUNING.
A Few Hints For This Important Part
of Maintenance Work.

The work of pruning should be be-
gun at the top of the tree and com
pleted at the bottom. In this way the
desired form can be better secured.
and there is less danger of accident.
The men employed should be careful
not to do more damage by breaking
and bruising than they do good by
pruning. A rope properly adjusted
about the waist and fastened to a
stout limb above the workman is an
excellent means Of sustaining the prin-
cipal weight of the body while moving
about through the tree. The form and
direction of the cut when removing
branches depend upon the position of
the branch on the tree and upon
whether it is to be simply shortened
or entirely removed.
Erect branches are shortened by cut
ting them ut an angle, thus preventing
the undue entrance Of water, while
side branches are cut perpendicularly
for the same reason.

How to Be Up to Date In Your Table
Appointments,


The large damask tablecloth has
given way to the vogue for sets of
linen mats. including large oval nes
to be placed beneath the dishes, small
circular ones for the meat plates and
still smaller for use with cheese and
salad plates. The change in fashion is
all IN the side Of the decorative. for
not only are the mats extremely beau
tiful in themselves, but they afford an
opportunity likewise for the display of
q fine dining table. the darkness of
the wood showing up 10 advantage the
silver and cut glass arranged Upon it.
The mats themselves are usually plac-
ed upon others Of thin wicker or of
closely twisted strings in order to OBJ
viate the possibility of harm to the
table through the heat Of the dishes.
Some especially choice sets Of these
dinner mats are of handmade linen
richly embroidered in an openwork
pattern Of leaves and flowers executed
after the n of the ''broderie an
glaise." Into the worked design is in
troduced a number of Italian flllet lace
squares. also hand worked and display
ing in their design all manner of quaint
beasts and birds copied from antique
models. The edges Of the mats are
finished with a narrow border of thread
lace, and although the effect is elabo-
rate in the extreme. the materials en-
ployed are sufficiently substantial to
Withstand much wear and tear.

A Shade Tree Census.

The shade tree committee Of the city
of Philadelphia has submitted a report
to the Fairmount park commission
compiled from 1902 cards, giving a
ems of trees on about 1000 miles Of
sidewalk and describing 1861 speci-
mens. OF these $4,000 are standing
unprotected by any guards and are liza
BILE to be injured, while thousands of
others are strangled by guards that
they have outgrown. Many trees have
died owing to improper planting and
lack Of care. An appropriation Of $780,
600 is asked for, n about 40 cents per
existing tree. The cost Of pruning and
cleaning has averaged 80 cents and
spraying 70 cents. - Country Gentle

In order to avoid the blunt word
"mad' many euphemisms are resorted
to in the English language. While
"lunacy" refers to the supposed influ-
ence of the moon, insane" simply
means unhealthy, "imbecile' signifies
only weak, and CRAZY" meaning de-
crepit. almost corresponds to the slang
Cracked" "a tile off," mot all
there" "a bee in his bonnet" are only
a few of the efforts slang has made
to carry off the sad fact with an
uneasy joke. "Lunatic asylum" for
the old ~"madhouse.' represents not
only a great improvement in the in
s%titution, but also in the term used to
designate it.

A HOUSE
the commission is not securing the re-
suits desired. no matter how smoothly
the machinery runs o how excellent
+ the plans devised. Again, go slow
at first. Experience is a great teacher,
and you will need lots of teaching.

and learn the diff culties connected
Herewith than to attempt to plant
1000 and make a failure of 1t.

Municipal Employment Bureau to Be

Tried In Paris.
The French government passed a law
in 1904 authorizing the establishment
of free municipal employment bureaus.
Nothing was done about the matter
until last year, when the minister Of
labor aroused new interest in the es-
adjustment of these bureaus, which
had been worked out so successfully in
Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, etc.
He invited the projects to consider the
matter. and the project of the Seine
has been instructed to present definite
plans to the municipal council for the
establishment OF such a bureau in one
of the districts of Paris.
The plan is to conduct the bureau on
very democratic lines, to have it con-
trolled by a commission composed Of
the workmen and employers and pre-
sided v e by a a Of special qualifi-
cations.

been granted over the street trees anC
parkway areas of your town, ecure az
act of your state legislature granting
such authority.
Second.-Have your city authorities
pass an ordinance establishing u street
tree commission under the provision OF
the state act.
Third.-IIave the commission organ
ize and draft such ordinances as will
be necessary in the execution of its
power.
Fourth.-Get busy. Plant, prune. cul.

for all the street trees of your city
the extent Of your work to be com
mensurate with the appropriations
granted by the city and the income
from work done for citizens.

ically to plant the trees. The best.

All should be citizens of recognized

the maintenance of the commission be
used in running the machinery. Unless
