wonder If we realize when we talk
OF a billion dollars what an enormous
sum OF money 1t means?
We all. know how rapidly an expert
counter of coins win manipulate them.
You can scarcely follow the motion OF
his fingers as he shifts the coins from
one pile to another and counts them.
The treasury experts viii count 1000
silver dollars in an hour and keep 1t
up all day long, but that is their limit.
Working eight hours a day, then. an
expert counter of coins will count 81
600 silver dollars In a day, but how
long will it take him at that rate TO
count S1.000,o00? Thirty-one days
But that is only the beginning of the
measurements of great figures. for IL
this same man were to go on counting
silver dollars at the same rate of speed
for ten years be would find that he had
only counted l00O00.000 OF them and
that 10 count $1.o00,000.000 would re-
quire 102 years of steady work at the
rate OF eight hours day during every
working day of every one OF the 2
years.-O. r. Austin. Former Chief of
Bureau of Statistics.

Deserted vermont Woman Sues.

Mrs. Mabel B. Fowler of BrattleborC
has begun action for divorce from B
Sherman Fowler of New York, papers
having been filed with the clerk Of Wind
ham county court. Mrs, Fowler asserts
that they were married Oct. 49,, 1895, in
Jersey City, n. j., by Rev. d. B. I. Ran
dolph, and on April 20, 1897, they were
again married at Manchester, VT, by Rev,
George A. Smart of that town. No ex-
PLANTATION of the reason for the two mar
riages is given in the papers. Mrs. Fow-
Ter alleges that on Jan. |, 1909, at Man
chester she was treated by her husband
with intolerable severity and at divers
other times and places and that on Sept.
q, 1911, at 0berhofen, Switzerland, he
deserted her.
In an affidavit supporting her request
for notification by publication Mrs. Fow-
Ter sets forth that she has not seen her
husband since Sept. 20, 1911, in Geneva,
Switzerland. She returned 10 Vermont
in October, 1911, and that winter received
one letter from him. Later she learned
through New York newspaper that he
had returned 20 New York in October.
1912 She has received no communication
from him and has not known and does
not know his whereabouts.

PLANNING NEXT YEARS GARDEN
Its Place in the General Scheme.
KATE LANE.

With paper pencil, rulers, divlders
and a Frances Duncan garden set, :
which is a miniature garden in cardboard
with flowers, vines, shrubs, walls, gates
| hedges, etc., and comes in all sizes from
suburban place TO large estate, win
ter is surely the Ideal time in which to
plan for next years planting; for with
these accessories a design, which will NJ
into harmonious whole and be q salts
! faction for years to come, may be clev-
erly worked out. The secret of a sue
eessful garden lies in its gradual develop
ment year by year, for then il represents
personality and stands for something
vital. The garden plan should be In
keeping with the style of house, and
adapted TO the size, situation, and sur
roundings of the lot, the lay OF the land,
the climatic conditions, and to the soil.
1T Is the small lot of the country town
or suburb" says noted garden planner,
that cries out emphatically for atten-
ton, that is least understood, most com
mon, most neglected, and abandoned to
the fatal grasp of the commonplace. The
neat grass yard, the narrow straight
walk to the immaculate front door, the
bare walls OF the framehouse, have ruined
the reputation OF the suburb. The sub
urb' ought to conjure up a picture of
rural loyeliness, instead OF ugliness."
Draw the Plan To Scale.
In making garden plan include the
whole property in the drawing, no mat
ter how large or how small the place
may be. and then map out to scale. Thus
if property is 200 feet deep and 100
feet wide, draw the map on a scale of
20 feet to the inch, SO that every inch on
the paper plan viii represent 20 feet of
the real property; mark where the house
stands, in correct position as regards the
points of the compass, walks, drives, en-
trance, and boundary line, also showing
the position of any outbuildings, etc.
This done, the garden site may be intel |
ligently selected and at the same time q |
perfected plan for identifying the entire
grounds may be appropriately worked |
out, to be done as time and means per
nit. Start from the borders of the place
and work inward toward the house,
which is apt to be the central point of
the picture. Plant the boundaries, mark
ng where to set out trees, shrubs, and
vines and while the work is in progress,
select and write down the varieties
which combine well In color and bloom
throughout the season. There are many
,arden magazines, catalogues, and books
rom which to get data, and so much de-
lends upon selecting the right material
hat it is well TO take the greatest care
md pains TO make as few mistakes as
possible. With the background or Dor
lers sketehed in we can take up the
ompletion Of the plan next week.

cooper,s Hawk.

The almost universal prejudice
against birds Of prey is due to the nc.
tivities of few members of the hawk
family. chief among which is the Coop.
er's hawk. Cooper's hawk usually APP
proaches under cover and drops on un-
suspecting victims, making great In.
roads on poultry yards and game COW
erts. This bird together with its two
hear relations. the sharp Skinned hawk
and the goshawk. should be destroyed
by every possible means.
