Planning the Garden.

The garden naturally divides itself
into the annual and the perennial both
OF which may be had in even the smallest
home plot. There are certain situations
which naturally suggest themselves Tor
the perennial flowers, those which grow
more beautiful under good culture from
year to year. The planting along the
house which have become known as
Foundation paintings" always should be
of perennial flowers or shrubs, with a
judicial admixture OF some of the small
er conifers such as the MughO pine
These are intended to cover the ugly
two feet of stone or concrete founda'
ton.
What TO use for foundation planting
depends upon which side OF the house the
planting is done ii the house faces
cast, with front porch, make along
the front two.foot border, in which
set French hybrid perennial phlox OF
not more than two colors in a width Of
twenty five feet or less, set out thus
. -. Good varieties are Europa
white with pink eye; Frau Anton Buch'

TOO READY WITH SARCASM
Tom Reed, Brilliant AZ He Was, Made
Enemies by His Biting Comments
on Public Men.

eff the late Tom Reed Of Maine
had lacked the gift of sarcasm, he no
doubt would have attained the goal of
his ambition-the presidency-but
he had that fatal faculty in abund-
ance," said former Representative
Rusk, at the Raleigh in Washington.
at was impossible for Reed to re-
frain from directing his shafts of
irony at members of the house or
others when occasion arose. His
thrust at former Representative Nc
Millin of Tennessee, now minister to
Peru, will cling to that gentleman
as long as he lives. 1t was to me
that he said ON one occasion when
McMillin was speaking: McMillin
never opens his mouth in a public
speech that he doesn't subtract from
the sum of human knowledge
''On another occasion l walked to
the capitol with Mr.. Reed-he was
not speaker then. 1t was in the ad-
ministration of Mr.. Harrison, and |
asked the Maine man how he was
getting on with the administration.
"'I can better illustrate that than
to attempt to describe my relations
With the administration said Reed.
Il think | have only two enemies in
the whole state of Maine-one of 'em
the president has made the collector
of the port at Portland, and the
other he recently pardoned out of the
penitentiary.'"

LOST LIFE ASSISTING FOE
British Officer Gained Applause From
Enemy for His Brave and
Sef-Saerificinp Act.

One of the most dramatic stories
of battlefield heroism concerns a
British officer who, noticing a
wounded German whom the enemy
had left behind during sudden re-
tirement, ordered his own men to
cease fire, while he himself went out
INTO the open to pick up the man.
Unfortunately the Germans did not
at first realize his object and fired,
wounding the officer in several places.
AS soon as they saw what his object
was, however, they also ordered the
Cease FIRE" Thereupon the British
officer staggered to the fallen man,
and carried him to the German lines.
a German officer received him with a
salute, and, calling for cheers, pinned
upon the breast of the British hero
an iron cross. Then the Britisher
returned to his own trenches. He
was recommended for the Victoria
cross for his notable example of chiy-
airy, but succumbed to his wounds.

PLACE BLAME ON BUILDERS
Structures In Italy Not Erected With
Wow to Danger From
Earthquakes.

1t might be thought that people
living in the Italian earthquake
zones would modify building meth
DDS to suit conditions. 1t is because
they have not done so that the ruin
is so complete. An earthquake as
severe as that which leveled Messina
might visit an American frame
built village and cause little loss of
life. Earthquake-ridden Japan uses
an even lighter type of structure
The new Messina, rising slowly on
it's ruins, is expected to be almost
earthquake-proof, with its wide
streets, low structures and generous
use of steel in framing.
The usual construction in Avez-
zano was like that in Messina. The
worst danger was the narrow streets,
where people who got safely out of
their homes were caught by falling
waits. These heavy walls were filled
in with rubble, with the upper
stories arched; and the Spanish say
ing that an arch never sleeps is as
true for Italy. Iron is lacking in
buildings, some of which reckoned
centuries of use. There came time
IN medieval Rome itself when iron
was so scarce that men rugged
bo's'ns' chairs and toiled with mallet
and chisel to cut out of ancient
buildings the iron that clamped them
together, giving the old walls their
present pockmarked appearance.

TWO VICTIMS OF. GREAT WAR
Permanently Crippled Boy and WoolIy
Pup Seem Out Of Place In
Ward Of Hospital,

The following little cameo of life
in the British hospital at Furnes ap-
pears in report of Sir Frederick to
the Red Cross society:
In the main ward--a fine halls
a little boy in bed very much too
big for him. He is a refugee from
4pres. In one of the many attacks
upon the unfortunate place his foot
was smashed by shell, and, as re-
suit, the leg has had to be amputated.
He is doing well. What has hap
pened to his parents is not known.
He is probably alone in the world. In
a basket on the floor by the child's bed
is another refugee from Ypres-a
puppy of very indefinite breed. He
was probably thrown by some COM
passionate soul into a cart which was
flying in haste from the burning
town. He is little more than round
woolly ball-woolly by reason of his
extreme youth, and round as the re-
suit of persistent ovcr-rationing.
1t is curious picture; the white
washed refectory full of gravely
wounded men, some still groaning
with pain, some nearing death, with,
high upon the wall, kindly statue
Of the Virgin looking down upon the
scene, and, in the center of the room
near the stove, the ridiculous puppy
and the onc-leggcd boy.

Lawrence Y. Spear, who has paid
moro attention to the development
OF the submarine than any other
man in this country, does not be-
lleve that the battleship is doomed,
but that a perfect navy must be
composed of several units, the bat
tleship, battle cruiser, scout cruiser,
torpedo-boat destroyer, submarine,
and many other craft. He is a grad
uate of the Naval academy at An
napolis. In 1900 he was on duty as
experimenting constructor for the
United States navy at the shipvard
of Lewis Nixon at Elizabethport,
where the first small Holland SUBJ
marine was building for the navy
department. Seeing great possible
ties in the submarine, he retired
from the navy and became vice-pres-
ldent and naval architect of the
Electric Boat company, which owns
the Holland submarine patents. He
has seen the submarine grow from
90 feet to 800 feet, which is the
length of the boat that is to be built
for the United States government,
and the plans for which have largely
come from his work. A large num-
ber of boats from plans made by Mr..
Spear are in service in the navies of
England, Japan, Russia, Canada,
Holland, Austria and Denmark.
