MaiShapur, and we look askance at
ahy modern interIoper. And truly
though we nave had our Elizabeth,
an era, our Georgian epoch. orr
carry Victorian age, it is extremely
hard to discern the shining lights
OF the present. Such poets as we
nave feed us just exactly the kind
OF stuff we desire. Our taste has
descended to the depths of liner
lcks and dialect poems, just as our
sacred songs are written in rag
time and our minuets converted
INTO "turkey-trots.'
1t IS a rather remarkable fact
tins decadence of an art. formerly
held IN such high esteem. and a sad
commentary on our modern money
getting spirit. Perhaps the great
poet OF the age is even nuw prepar-
ing to try his winged flights of
fancy. Let us hope that he does
not fly, like Icarus, too close to the
sun.-W. II. Conner.

-, UTILITY.
Closely allied to appronriato
ness as principle in gardening is
utlllty. Utility means that every
feature i'll a landscape must have
us use and that convenience Of the
users must be consulted. For ex-
ample the principle of utility is
violated by building house on y
NH to get a view, if one must climb
Tue hlll daily TO get into the house
II Is violation of utility to run a
walk or drive III a decided curve
when d more direct route would
serve the purpose as well. In p
IKE manner trees must not be 81
planted as to shut in a house and
make 1t lmhealthful. 1t is a viola
tlon Of utility to cut walks and
drives through aplace without there
is definite object to be reached,
Trees must be so planted that their
shade can be enjoyed and lawns
must be made so that they can be
used.
In planning all home grounds
we should never lose sight of the
fact that they are to be used as
we'll as TO be looked at and admired.
FINISH.
1t is obvious that landscape
composition may be designed with
all the before mentioned principles
set forth and yet fail, because the
work has been poorly done. Many
a poorly designed piece Of land
scape has appeared better than it
really was because the work was
well done.
The chief items in which finish
is lacking is the use of common
place or poor specimens of plants.
A single specimen plant no matter
how rare should not be kept if it is
ragged and unkempt. Thinness of
plants i'll border prevents good
finish. Commonplace ornaments
should be kept out. Cultivation and
manure must be given trees and
shrubs to keep them in a constant
ly vigorous state. Sheared trees
and hedges must be kept closely
sheared lawn must be kept smooth
rich and velvety. Walks and
drives must remain i'll perfect con-
dition. All fences and buildings
should be in good order. Buildings
should be painted. Above all per-
feet cleanliness should prevail
everywhere. Attention to these
items gives a finish and IA polish to
a composition which greatly i'll
creases its beauty and the lack of
which effectively spoils any intrin-
sic value that it might have. This
is particularly true upon small
grounds.

EXPRESSION.

APPROPRIATENESS
The question "Is il fitting or III

examples of inappropriateness are
to be found in the old fashioned
cemeteries. A cemetery is suppos-

gaudy display Of flowers and the

instructors were able as well as consid-

One Of the most valued lessons learned
at the Peekskill infantry school, II is said.
was visual signalling with the hand and
arm during combat exercises, when the
voice could not be heard in giving COM
mands during the firing. In some cases
officers learned to use signals not pro-
vided for in the regulations. but when
proved a necessity, and were readily
grasped by the men.
The use of beer and whskey was strict
" barred during the entire camp, both
among officers and men, and IL was the
first time in the history OF the state camp
that il was strictly a temperance camp.
General Organ let it be known that ne
