BIRMINGHAM'S NEW CITY
 BEAUTIFUL DEPARTMENT

Natures adornment of shrubs and flowers is more beautiful than the most costly plantings. Yet flowers may be had at very slight expense. The care of a small flower garden all ones own, is perpetual delight, es- pecially to a young person.
 In general, the best way to lay off flower garden is not to lay it off at all. It should not be cut up into stiff beds. The space directly in front of the house should be left open. Der muda grass makes the best summer covering for southern lawns.
 By sowing white clover seed on 1t in the early fall the lawn will glad den the eye with it's carpet of green before winter has wholly passed. There may he a border of low Towering plants on each side of the walk while against the walls of the house may be grouped taller plants and shrubs as a background for beds of smaller

bright blooming flowers. The eolors of the flowers show better if many of the same are massed together.
 THE PLACE FOR SHRUBS.
 Against the fence on either side and in the corners by the steps may be planted shrubs. while between the front and back yards. there should be screen of tall shrubs or vines.
 The Japan honeysuckle and the Cherokee rose are good evergreen vines for this purpose. The purple wistaria is a hardy climbing shrub that quick ly covers unsightly objects or shades sunny porches For ornamental hedges, privet and pomegranate are good Some Of the many beautiful native wild shrubs serve well as screens.
 WHAT TO PLAN IN THE GARDENS.
 In the first place. hardy. self-re- liant plants are needed. Choose bounc- ing clusters of phlox and sweet will liams. and everblooming roses sturdy ranks of sun flowers. hollyhocks and princes feathers, that do not surrender q head or drought and smiling beds of pinks and verbenas.

ACCOUNTS OF
 SUCCESS VARY

Concerning the progress of this attack, official reports give widely different &C., counts. The Belgians say the German attempts to advance have been repulsed and that their sheels have had no effect on the forts. On the other hand the Ger mans declare the Belgian sorties have been driven back. It probably will be some days yet before the Germans bring the full force of their artillery to bear and not until then can it be judged whether the forts can stand the fire of modern siege guns.
 The Germans have agreed not to dam- age or destroy historical monuments or churches if the Belgians will agree not to use them for military purposes.
 The sowing of floating mines by tho Austrians to harass the French and English warships in the Adriatic, has re- suted in the sinking of an Italian fishing boat and the Italian government has entered a protest at Vienna. The incl dent has created bitter feeling in Italy, where 1t is said the mines have drifted from the Austrian to the Italian side of the Adriatic and have terrorized the fish ing industry. the chief resource of this re zion.
 Marquis Di San Guiliano. the foreign minister, one of the chief friends of the triple alliance in Italy. is seriously i'll and Premier Salandra has taken charge oi the Iorelen o11lce. It IS suggested in London that this might bring about some change in the policy of Italy, as the pre- mier is said to wish Italy to join the. allies, to which Marquis Di San Guiliano was strongly opposed.
