Tie trees which are best suited for
planting on streets where the condi-
tions for their growth are favorable
are listed by the American Forestry
association of Washington In reports
to its members, together with detailed
information regarding planting and
care of them. The list, with some In
structions as to planting, Is as follows:
American Elm.-A graceful tree, at
tractive in summer and winter Tall
and stately, with strong arching
branches. Grows rapidly in rich, we'll
drained. moist soil, but adapted to
many soils. Should be planted only
on wide avenues, forty to sixty feet
apart, according to soil conditions,
usually about fifty feet. Very liable
to attack by the elm leaf beetle. The
English elm is smaller, more compact,
not as graceful as the American elm
and more subject to insect attack. =.

about thirty-fve feet. The Eastwood,
or American linden, has larger leaves
and is less valuable for street planting
than the European species. -:
Tulip Tree.-Tall, very regular form,

on account of tender roots; best results
if young trees are planted. Subject to
scale and other enemies. On account
of it's great size should be planted only
on very wide streets and in suburban
sections. Spacing forty-hve to sixty
feet.

tarily and because Of that, because
from each layer Of the population we
have got educated men and men who
have enlisted because they are en-
thusiastic for the vindication Of our
cause, these armies have been train
ed much more rapidly than would
otherwise have been possible. And
you know we give them the benefit
in their training of the experience
gained at the front. There is an Of

pamphlets written describing the
characteristics of the warfare which
the troops will have to take part in,
warning them against mistakes and
giving them a careful account of the
kind of things which the enemy is
likely to do.
These notes are supplemented by
lectures which are given to the bat
talions Of the new armies by officers
at home on leave or wounded. They
are constantly sending over for few
days at time, officers who are
trained in this country, in order that
they may take spell in the trenches
and go back and find fresh meaning
for their work. S. :,
II had a young officer in here the
other day, a subaltern Of artillery

Notes About Birds.

A peculiar characteristic about birds
is that the young Of those that build
nests in trees are blind when hatched,
are naked, unable to walk and are fed
by the parent bird. Among the wad-
ing birds the young can walk, swim
and pick up food Immediately upon
leaving the egg. With birds, as with
higher animals, the females seem to
fancy bright colors and music; hence
Mother Nature usually ornaments the
head, neck and tails of the males that
they may find mates more readily. The
male birds usually excel in music also.

In Thick Of Fight.
Territorial regiments and divi-
sions are already serving abroad in
India, in Burmah, in Egypt, in Malta
and in Gibraltar Months ago terri
torial regiments were sent to the
front and very greatly distinguished
themselves. Their work has been
highly praised in Sir John French's
dispatches. The casualty lists in the
recent battle of Neuvo-Chapelle show
that territorial regiments were in the
very front Of the fight. The Sixth
Gordons and the Fourth Seaforths-
both Of them Scottish regiments-in
particular suffered heavily. Now we
are sending out whole. divisions Of
territorials, so that the army at the
front is being reinforced, not merely
by territorial regiments, but by the
territorial force as a military or
ganization. In the meantime the re-
serve battalions of which I have
spoken ere coming on fast at home. &"
Has Been Justified.
Mr.. Tenant pointed out that he
had emphasized the organization and
work of the territorials simply be-
cause they were the part of the Brit
ish military force, about which be-
fore the war, military critics abroad
had been most doubtful. The volun-
tary system had been even more
strikingly justified in the case of the
new or 5so-called Kitchener army,
which is enlisted on the basis of SER
vice of three years or for the dura-
tion of the war and is recruited to
fight in any part of the world.

CHAPTER XXXV.
THE DAY OF THANKSGIVING.
Although there were to be no guests
at the Marley wedding. the house was
naturally in a state of much tensity as
the time approached. Molly, for two
hours before the minister was to arrive,
was engaged In the finishing touches of
her toilet, which was fully as elaborate,
though not so conventional, as II the
function was to be the most formal ono
possible and her boudoir, from one end
to the other, was cluttered with fluffy
finery, with toilet accessories, with two
maids and Fern Burbank, the three latter
articles being In state closely bordering
on hysteria.
Downstairs, Bert Glider wandered from
room to room, feeling more in the way
than IL he were an unbidden guest at
somebody else's wedding, his only human
companion being an occasional contact
with the thin-legged butler, who, under
the excitement of the occasion. had

plenty of room in his intellect, had sue
cumbed 10 the inevitable gloom of the
occasion.

BONE INTERESTING NEWS FOR THE
BIG BOY.


Three days later the necklace came
out. but by that time Molly had given
ND all hope of heading Sledge Off. The
only thing she could do, she resolved, in
a hilarious conference with Fern, would
be to accept temporarily any crazily ex-
trayagant gift he showered upon her.
After the need for fooling him was over
she could send them back, and this reso-
luton once having been formed the girls
spent much time in eager expectation of
what the next surprise might be. Sledge
was at least making the game exciting,
and his perfectly mad, but equally earn
est antics gave both Molly and Fern
more fun than they had ever known.
In the meantime, while Sledge and his
cheerful co-worker, Tommy Reeler, were
keeping the girls busy day and night,
the preparations for the secret wedding
went steadily on, as did the business
preparations of Bert and Frank Marley.
