GIRL GIVES LIFE FOR KITTEN
Young Child Killed in Front of street
Car When Brushing Pet to

down by Fifth avenue trolley car.

Front street, ran in front of the car.

Tessie and other little girls were
playing in front of her home with sew
eral kittens which were born recently
to the Calabra family cat. One of the
little animals jumped out of Tessie's
lap, ran into the street and sat directly
IN front OF car. Without a moments
hesitation Tessie. amid the warning
cries of her companions, leaped to her
feet and ran into the street to save her
pet. The car, which was going at a
high rate OF speed. was upon her be-
fore she could regain her feet after
having showed the kitten to safety.

Hard by is the ancient church OF
St Bartholomew the Great which has
perhaps suffered more from the
hand of the vandal than any other
church in London. For many years
the north transept was cut off from
the church and used as blacksmlth's
shop. a firm of fringe makers occu-
pied the triforium and the Lady
Chapel was part of warehouse
Gradually, and at a great expense,
the church has been redeemed and
improved, and it is urged in regard to
the contemplated improvements that
opportunities of further discoveries
of Norman remains would be given.
But at best these would only be
foundation walls beneath the ground,
while to get at them one would have
to demolish some of the quaint, pic
turesque old houses that Cloth Fair"
still retains.
The cost of the scheme is estimat-
ed at s1,000,000, and added to that
must be the sentiment OF losing one
of the last groups of the domestic
architecture of Old London.

no serious wound which had creased
the side of his head; if there was no
other he would surely revive, and the
discovery sent her blood throbbing
through her veins. She lifted his head

Luxury for Ostriches.

Dealing with the anti-plumage cam
paign in England, the Cape Times in
a leading article remarks that: Were
it not for the commercial value of its
feathers. the ostrich would today be
as rare In civilized South Africa as the
hippopotamus. The ostrich is really
a much pampered bird. living life OF
pure luxury. He is bred and kept In
condition merely for the sake OF his
feathers, and generally he lives to
ripe old age. The feathers are not
pulled out from the sockets by the
roots, but are cut with as little pain
to the bird as is caused to a sheep by
the shearer"

The shrubs should receive a final
bit of attention before cold weather
sets in. Not in the way of protec-
tion-it is still too early for that-but
In pruning in such a manner as to
bring something like symmetry out of
the chaos consequent on the unregulat-
ed growth of summer.
OF course we all know that the
proper time to prune plant is while
it is in a stage of development.
We ought never to let it waste its
energies in growth that must be sac
rificed by and by, when we attempt
to bring it into satisfactory shape
But the fact Is, none of us do as well
as we know; and we are quite likely
to let our plants have their own way
until all at once we discover the mis-
take we have made and set about
righting matters.
In taking an unpruned shrub in
hand, we are quite likely to overdo
things. We cut and slash recklessly
we get through, a most uncomfortable
looking specimen.
The beauty seems TO have all gone
out of it. Why? Because we have
made stiff. formal, unnaturallooking
thing of 1t.
The only true way to prune shrub
is to cut out some of the branches,
If there are too many of them. and
to remove old and weak branches.
Do not interfere with any of the
branches you leave. They have trained
themselves by the instinct of natural
ness, to be what nature intended them
to be-and nature makes no mis-
takes in her methods, nor in the in
stinct she arouses and encourages in
trees, or bush, or plant. But we. who
think ourselves so much wiser than
nature, torture the poor shrub into
fearful and wonderful shapes, and call
it pruning.

In order to do the work of pruning
well, provide yourself with a ine-
toothed saw, which should be sharp
enough to make a smooth, clean cut.
This for use on the larger branches
which cannot be removed easily with
the pruning shears.
Have with you little pot OF paint.
and apply enough of it to each cut to
fill the pores or the wood and keep

Do not use the pruning shears on
any limb too large to admit OF max

better work on such limb or
