SHADE FOR THE FARM HOME

An abundance of shade is one of the luxuries which every farm home can and should have The city dweller is often renter and must take things as they are. Or if he owns home, the lot is restricted in size. and large trees are an impossibility. But on the farm land for commodious yard should always be reserved.
 Those having grand old elm. maple. or oak to begin with, are for tunate, indeed But the idea that trees planted now of these species will be a comfort only to succeeding gen erations is quite mistake.
 Most of the naples, and especially the sugar and red naples are of rapid growth. and at a few years at most will give an abundance of shade.
 Do not make the mistake of using fruit or nut trees in the yard. Both make litter at certain seasons. which renders them a sort of nuisance en- tirely unnecessary. If you had no room for an orchard it would be different matter. You want the yard for solid comfort, and not as crop producer.
 Because the city man uses the horse chestnut for shade, do not follow his example. He does it because this tree is low growing and eompact-just the thing where there is little room either on the ground or in the air. With your broad expanse a more as airing species should be chosen Be sides the burs are nuisance.
 There is nothing better on the farm lawn than native trees They thrive admirably, and in every community there are those we'll worth attention

pretty enough to be worn with dressy costumes and is not out of place among much more ornate headwear.
 A substantial hat of hemp, resem- bling a fiat baretta, is recommended by its unusual shape and its becoming ness. It is shown at the right of the picture and, along with the other two hats, is posed straight on the head without any saucy tilt. It Is supported by a round. plain bandeau covered with a narrow ornamental band made of silk fiber and beads. A wired bow of velvet Is posed on the underbrim at the back.
 These hats embody new features that come at time when novelties are scarce. The story of summer headwear has reached its final chap ter and will soon be closed to make way for the beginning of that for autumn

Threat to Assassinate J. p. Morgan ana Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, British
 Ambassador.

New Orleans. - A written thEVAt ' to assissinate J. Pierpont Morgan, S'e Cecil Spring Rice, British ambassador to the United States, and to destroy by bombs British vessels cleariu : from American ports was received by a local newspaper from a person who signed himself "Pearce"
 Pearce declared that the steamers Howth Head and Baron Napier, which cleared from here July and sailed from Port Ears the following day. probably never would be heard from again. The Howth Head sailed for Dublin and Belfast via Norfolk with q merchandise cargo, while the Baron Napier had on board 967 mules for Avonmouth, England Neither vessel carried passengers, it is said but the Baron Napier has aboard a large humber of muleteers, many of whom are residents of this city.
 Government officials attempted to get in touch with the Baron Napier by wireless. The Howth Head is not equipped for radio communication. Both vessels should now be some where off the Florida or Georgia coast
 Pearce declared that Frank Holt, or Enrich Muenter, was lis partner. He declared that it was Muenter who warned Charles Frohman and others not to sail aboard the Lusitania.
 Scores of detectives secured the city in an effort to locate Pearce. while squads Of British government agents and attaches of local shipping firms searched all British vessels in port in an effort to ascertain whether bombs had been concealed in their cargoes
 Pearce's letter. which was dated New Orleans, July 10. and which was typewriter. follows in part:
 Holt was my partner and I glory in the thought of his comradeship. We worked together ever since this CUTS ed war began. Holt is gone, but I am still here and I am going to carry on the work the two of us began.
 "Fhe statement that Holt intended to wreck libraries and other such public buildings is a lie. The capitol is the only building that we planned to wreck. and We partly succeeded in our plan. But what We did plan and what I am going to carry out, is the just idea to stop this country from contributing to the damnable, hellish. barbaric slaughter across the ocean. l may succeed in blowing up but one British ship leaving this port may succeed in destroying 10 but I am going to carry out this work and what ever l achieve will be satisfactory to me. And then l will be ready for Morgan. And after I get through with Morgan I will be ready to share my pals fate. I consider it a glorious fate.
 And Sir Cecil Spring Rice. Do you want to know who Muenter was after when he went to Glen Cove , Morgan? Partly. The real reason for going to Glen Cove was Sir Cecil Spring Rice. We have trailed Spring. Rice for weeks and we are going to get him yet"

leneth of Polar Day.

The length of day at the poles of the earth, i. e, the time during which a portion of the sun is continuously visible, is about one half year plus four days. or 1S7 days. The additional four days is added to the half year if we count sunrise as the time at which the upper edge or limb of the sun just begins to be visible on the horizon, and sunset as the time at which the upper edge is last visible; this additional time being necessary on account of re- fraction and the suns semi-diaueter.

Breast Tea, or as the German folks
call it, Hamburger Brust Thee at any
pharmacy. Take tablespoonful of the
tea, put cup of boiling water upon
it, pour through a sieve and drink a
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. 1t is the most
effective way to break cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores of the skin,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus breaking up a cold.
Try it the next time you suffer from

IT is an amazing thing that the
English, who have the reputa-
ton of being practical ma

which they were exposed. For many
years they had been spending nearly a
hundred millions a year upon their
army and their fleet. Squadrons Of
Dreadnoughts costing two millions
each had been launched They had
spent enormous sums upon cruisers,
and both their torpedo and their sub
marine squadrons were exceptionally
strong. They were also by no means
weak in their aerial power. especially
in the matter of hydroplanes Besides
all this, their army was very efficient
in spite of it's limited numbers, and it
was the most expensive in Europe,
