Uniform Street PLANTING.

Simplicity amplified also assumes
dignity. One sort Of tree upon a
street, uniformly planted, is a simple
scheme, or, indeed, too simple to be
a scheme at all. AS such planting
extends is added more and more Of
dignity until with sufficient extent we
find the very height and depth of dig
nifty, simplicity, beauty, art and every
thing desirable that may be designat-
ed in language. And more; something
SO satisfying that while we may feel
its benignant influence, language is
inadequate to express it. Where do
we have such examples Of street
alignment? Here? No! May we
have them? Yes. Then, why not?
And echo answers, why not?" Who
is responsible? When shall we begin?
Ask the city council, at once, to ap-
point a street-tree commission, with
both power and funds, to carry out
our wishes-Exchange.

PRETTY HOME MEANS MUCH
Attractive Surroundings Of Farm
House Mark Place as Abode OF
Love and Contentment

A very observant traveller OF un-
questioned taste observes: II wish /
could more forcibly impress upon the
mind of the farmer the value of at
tractive surroundings. Every farm
home should be attractive. 1t is not
necessary to have a fine house or
fancy cottage or expensive lawn fence
to make the farm home pretty. To be
sure, neat fence, few ornaments
on the house and the free use of
paint help nightly, but the chief at
fractions can be made Of trees and
shrubs. A shady lawn and shady
driveway are always attractive. Groups
of trees, shrubs or flowers never fail
to charm. The lawn may not be kept
perfectly smooth, all the trees may
not be clearly pruned, yet the home
place ornamented with them does not
fail to convey the impression that
peace and contentment dwell there.
AS a lady from the city said: "A pref
ty farm house suggests a happy birds
nest We do not notice the dwelling
so much as we do the surroundings
If the surroundings are pretty we
know the interior of the house is all
right and that 1t is the abode of love
and contentment and all that makes
life worth living. We look to the city
for fine mansions, but to the country
for pretty homes"

HOW COCA COLA REEREsHEs.

The remarkable success which has
attended the sale of Coca Cola has been
explained in many different ways. Some
have attributed 1t to good advertis-
ing" others to efficient management"
others, to its delicious favor" and still
others to the fact that 1t was the first In
the field Of "trade-marked" soft drinks.
In this connection, the opinion of q
manufacturing chemist who has analyz-
ed Coca Cola and studied its history for
many years, will prove interesting He
attributes the popularity Of the drink
In large part to its quality of refresh
ing both mind and body without pro-
ducing any subsequent depression.
He points out the fact that the chemical
composition Of Coca-Cola is practically
identical with that of coffee and tea
with sugar added) the only material
difference being the absence Of fannie
acid from Coca-Cola. He points to the
laboratory experiments of DR.. Holling-
worth Of Columbia University and Of
DR.. H. c. Wood, Jr. of Philadelphia
which prove conclusively that the caf-
Coca Cola, etc. relieve mental and mus
cular fatigue by rendering the nerves
and muscles more responsive to the
will, thus diminishing the resistance
produced by fatigue. These expert
ments also demonstrate the fact that

the latter Is followed by period Of de-

GROWING PLANTS ON PORCH
Simple Arrangement Does Away With
the Baroness That Marks SO
Many Homes.

There is nothing that adds SO at
tractively to the porch as large hang
ing baskets suspended between the
pillars. When making them, purchase
large, fare wire baskets, the larger
the better in order to provide sum
cient earth to the growing plants
Now Ia the time to make these bas
kets, as the plants should have a good
start before they are hung on the
porch. Line the baskets with wood
moss. A basket outlined with yellow
myrtle, the center being filled with
short ferns, is very pretty. The blue
myrtle is just as good.
Trailing ferns. red geraniums and
striped grass are used in the baskets.
When porches are extremely large
have one or more fern-flled porcelain
jardinieres on pedestals. II the porch
rugs are red, select green jardinieres'
or a delft blue rug and blue porcelain
jardinieres and pedestals. The latter
is very pretty as a color scheme for
a porch.
From any furniture dealer you can
buy for a few cents the long boxes In
which curtain shades are sent by ex
press. These boxes, If painted and
filed with earth, make very good win
dow boxes for small flowers. They
can be placed crosswise on the cor
ners of the porch. or they can be
hung from the front to the side rail
ing. They should be filled with pc
tunias, portulaca and any vine thai
will trail over the sides.
