Misuse Of Vines.

The mission of the vine, in its rela'
ton to dwelling houses, is to soften
the hash, monotonous lines OF arcni'
lecture, to extend its beautiful tracers
partially over the sides of the building
SO that sprays of stem and foliage
have their beauty accentuated by 9
suitable background. Its misuse con
sists of allowing it to grow in thick
ened mass, obscuring all lines of arch
itectural beauty, shutting out Ign
and air, thus conducive to unhealthfu
atmosphere, funeral aspect and a gen
eral air of depression suggestive 0
tomb-like darkness and silence. Vine
are glorious in their proper use, ou
become nuisances by abuse.

THE WAR
IN EUROPE
Principal Nations of the
Continent Now in the
Throes of Bloody Conflict

What has been the general fear for
the past generation and longer seems
to have become a terrible reality in
Europe. The principal nations OF the
continent are now in the throes OF
what promises to be one of the blood
lest of modern wars,
To relate the cause or rather the ag'
gregation of causes of this general
war would entail a long recital OF
Europeon jealousies and counter con-
tests which have been brewing for
years. The jealousieS seem to have
spr, NJ generally out of desire to en-
large commerce and axtend territorial
limits among some of the powers.
The direct cause seems to have
grown out of the assassination OF
Archduke Ferdinand OF Austrla.Hun'
gary which event happened several
months ago and the responsibility OF
which was charged to Servid. A rev
days ago the Austrian Government dl'
rected a note to the Servian Govern
ment demanding the punishment OF
those indirectly connected with the as
sasination of the Archduke in SerVla
and also the suppression of certain Fan
Seryian Associations, The reply OF
Servia to this note was not satisfactory
and a declaration of war promptly fol-
lowed.
