BIRMINGHAM'S NEW "CTTY
 BEAUTIFUL" DEPARTMENT

When nature blooms. her children smile, for her radiance reaches far and her beauty is undeniable. The lesson she sings is one of universal joy paean of cheer to the human heart. Year after year she repeats her miracle The oldest, most weather beaten tree renews in the springtime its youth, its blush becoming fair as that of the youngest maiden Side by side 1t may stand with more perfect tree, but when the first tremor of spring passes over it. it thrills with the same eagerness to express itself as is shown by its young neighbor, vibrant from root to tip with throbbing fresh sap
 This instinct to express to bear and to mature is shown by the outpouring of blossoms, blossoms in myriads, blossoms by the thousands; for every plant that lives bears some sort of flower
 Among this world of blooming things. none is more beautiful than the fruit trees known to almost every country dweller Children love the old apple tree when it sends out its pink and white. faintly sweet blossoms, growing in delicate clusters; and every observer of nature notes it's doings as a landmark in the year 1t matters not in what section of the country fl grows, whether by homestead stately or plain; to the members of that home.

 And a song for the hearts of men,

Both of these trees blossom at the sam etime that the leaves unfold. Again the bloom of the peach Is very pink, giving to the atmosphere a soft pastel-like glow, and the flowers of the cherry In many varieties are snow white.
 The blossoms of some fruit trees such as the apph are made up of five rounded petals. as delicately formed as those of the wild rose: but of other fruit trees. notably the quince. the petals are some what pointed, appearing angular in many positions. To watch the unfolding blos- sons of fruit trees Is one of the seasons pleasure, appearing they do one after another In long feteiil<e succession.

$|5,0OO CHANGES AT. THE BURGER STORE.
Announcement Is Made of Extensive Improvement.
 Will Start July 1

Improvements which will mean an ex- penditure of at least s1sOoo will be started on the store occupied by the Burger Dry Goods company on July 1, according to announcement yesterday. The principal change in the store arrangement will be made at the front of the building, a marquise being built over the sidewalk and three entrances being provided. The front of the store will be modelled along the same lines as is that of a recently constructed store on Fifth avenue, New York, and the plans were drawn by liar ry B. Wheelock.
 The new front will give much more display space, besides adding much to the general appearance of the store. It is expected the remodeled store will add much to the block between Twentieth and Twenty first streets on Second avenue. where 1t is located.
 In the interior every floor will be com pletely renovated, new arrangements for displaying goods being provided for. An other elevator will be added, fire escapes built and means of easy access to them made.
 Just previous to and during the work of remodeling the store Burgers will anr nounce a sale, 1t being the intention of the management to reduce the stocks to the lowest possible minimum, in order to give the workmen as much room as possible. Burgers now carries very large stock.
 It is expected the work will be com pleted within three weeks time and the work will be pushed.
 Sam Phillips, advertising manager of the store, who gave to The Age-Herald the announcement, says it is expected that the new arrangement will give much more light and will help the store to better serve it's patrons.

Change in Orchestra

One of the popular features of the Birmingham Newspaper club is the la dies orchestra. which adds much to the pleasure of the frequenters of the cafe by the interpretation of music and song during the lunch and dinner hours. Pos- sibly the fact that contributes mostly to it's popularity Is that the performers are girls Yet, despite this fact, the management had "butted in'' and placed a man at the piano. This happened yesterday and strange as it may seem the patrons of the beautiful cafe seemed pleased with the change. The applause was as generous as of yore and no one seemed to notice the difference. for the man at the piano was Mrs. Jennie Mann a charming brunette of pleading personality who manipulated the 1vories nth great slrilL

 the legislature will be quite an morren- siye and quite harmless lhoiViuua'.
 Rut the candidates are turning heaven ana earth. and each is boasting of the golden opportunity for victory which ne decIares hangs before his unflinching eyes.
 The constitution gives the lieutenant governor the right to appoint the coin- rnittees of the senate. Ihe proVlsioh or the constitution is carried out when the lieutenant governor has more uepehuapio friends than the president of the senate. Henry B. Gray, lieutenant governor with tbe Conner organization behind him, named the committees despite the protest of K. Perry Thomas, president pro tenn, an anti-admnistratio leader MT. Thomas based his contention on prece- dent and the plea that the president pro tenn should have some duty 10 per- form. Lieutenant Governor Walter b. Seed did not appoint the present senate committees. Hugh Morrow, president of the senate deprived him of that right. The lieutenant governor was too strong in the faith of prohibition for the major itv which stood for the ideas cnunciated by the governor.
 The committees of the next senate will be named by Mir. kilby. A majority of the members have already pledged them selves to aid him in acquiring the right to discharge the duties which the con stitution imposes. MT. Kilby is first of all .business man. and he is in ac- cord with MT. Henderson in his plan to give the state business" administra- ton. a constructive administration. Other governors have had similar plans, but in recent years, none of them have seen their plans materialize. Some issue. de- manding all the attention of the man at the throttle. has interfered. and the poor old state. as consequence, has been permitted to go hang itself.
 Better times are coming.
