KEEPS TREES IN CONDITION
Their Systematic Watering
and Ventilation.

A very ingenious and practical de-
vice for assuring the trees on city
sidewalks sufficient supply of water,
no matter how dry the season and how
hard baked the earth, has recently
been put in operation in Strassburg by
Mr. Sauer, the city tree inspector. 1t
consists Of a tube of iron or lead bent
into the form of ring large enough to
encircle the stem of the tree. The
earth is removed so that this ring may
be placed just above the roots, and is
then filled in again, leaving the end of
a pipe connecting with the ring pro-
jecting above the surface of the ground.
The top of the ring is pierced with a
large number of small holes, and a
tin cover or shield prevents these
from becoming stopped up with earth.
By means of a funnel in the protrud-
ing end of the pipe any desired amount
of water may be supplied to the roots
without waste or loss of time A fur
Their advantage, according to Prone
theus, is the ventilation thus secured
of the earth in the vicinity of the
roots-Scientific American.

SEEK TO INTEREST RAILROADS
Residents of California City Urge
Them to Beautify Their
Rights of Way.

At q recent meeting of tree plant
ers in California city it was resolved
to request the various chambers of
commerce in that part of the state to
urge the railroads to beautify their
rights of way, particularly their ap-
proaches to cities, all of which are
slovenly and none of which are good.
The subject of railroad gardening
has been agitating the whole country
for many years, and it has finally been
determined that hardy, drought-resist-
ant shrubs offer the best material for
permanent Identification 1t is not
advisable to obscure too much of the
station or station grounds, for obvi-
Gus reasons; therefore, few trees and
many shrubs should be used, with very
few Towering plants, for the latter
require care, and railroads are most
economical in matters where no direct
financial return is assured.
Could the entertainments be plant
ed. with low-growing, low-priced
drought-resistant towering shrubs and
among these sown seed of native wild
flowers, we would have beautifica-
ton scheme of effectiveness at low
cost that would stand for all time to
come with a minimum of care and eX-
pense; yet one that would forever
transform present ugliness into tracts
of beauty.

CuItIvatlna Vacant Lots.

Vacant lot gardening has greatly In
creased in Philadelphia during the
last year. More than six hundred
families were engaged in the health
full and remunerative work of cult
waiting the spaces of idle land in vari-
GUS sections of the city. The work
is carried on under the direc.
ton of the Philadelphia Vacant
Lot Cultivation association. Since
its organization in 1897 this organiza-
ton has accomplished much in af-
fording opportunity for self-help in
Philadelphia. 1t secures the tempo
rary use of idle land and assigns gar
dening thereon to people who are in
need of money, as well as healthful
occupation. Not only by this scheme
is a chance for healthful and profit
able work afforded. but 1t prevents
these vacant spaces from being used
as unsightly dumping grounds.

Bradstreet's Report

Bradstreet's Burlington Office re-
ports there appears to be On upward
tendency in orders received by the
state manufacturing interests in GER
tain lines. With manufacturers of
oyeralls and garments this is true.
the increase coming mainly from
Western points. Business in this
line from state retailers, however,
shows only moderate bdying.
Some wooden mills report plants
fully employed, this having been
made possible by orders received
from foreign countries. There is
also noted continuance in the de-
mand for machinery from abroad and
one of the state machine plants re-
ports sufficient business abroad to
keep present force employed into
May next.
An improvement is also noted
among the knit goods manufacturers.
During the past week the active
operations in lumber camps have
been noted, this having been made
possible by the recent snow fall,
which has also given employment in
the large places. The demand for
foodstuffs continues reasonably act
i've. January business is said to have
some gain over that during the same
month Of year ago in these lines.
Reports to Bradstreet from the
United States at large indicate the
largest number of failures ever rec
orded in any month during the past
month. The records show an increase
OF six per cent over December, and
OF SO per cent over January of a year
ago. Of the total number given,
two-thirds of the increase in number
over a year ago occurred in the
South.
January reports from 80 cities re-
garding building work that there
was a decrease of 19.4% in number
Of permits, but a loss of only 6% in
the value of such from the like
period of year ago.
Such complaint is heard from tan
ners of leather regarding the slow
ing down in the receipts of hides.
Retail merchants have had a fair
business as result of clearance
sales, but merchants are reported as
buying in a conservative manner.

is helped by perspiration. In cold
weather, with little out door work

Unprecedented Cruelty to Child

A woman, " hose right name has
been something of mystery, but
who formerly, it is understood, lived
in Barton with man named Longe-
vine, became jealous of a man at
Willoughby, and in order to wreak
vengeance upon the father, deliber-
ately heated the stove poker red ..hot
and applied it to the mans little six
year-old daughter, it is alleged, in
fiicting terrible burns.
She told the child, it is reported,
that if she told her father, she would
kill her, and the next morning the
woman left.
Officers think they have found the
whereabouts of the woman and have
gone to bring her back for trial.
