SOME NOTES IN SEASON

Prune Towering shrubs as soon as
they have finished Towering. The Sc
cret Of pruning shrubbery, in a nut
shell. is to study the habit Of growth
Of each plant, and to strive to encour-
age It; not alter It to your views.
Make a note Of the yellow spots on
the lawn. If the grass is scanty, the
trouble Is probably sand or poor soil.
The best cure Is to dig out the place,
and put In some good loan.
Then resod the place. If the grass
is there, but dead. the trouble is lack
of moisture.
II the grass on the lawn is growing
fast, two mowings a week, allowing
the clippings to lie where they fall, is
easier than one moving In ten days
or two weeks, followed by raking to
remove the cut grass.
Gravel roads and walks that refuse
to get solid can be greatly improved
by the judicious use Of clay. Pulver-
ize the latter. and sprinkle evenly
Too much clay win make sticky road
in wet weather, which is far worse
than n soft gravel road.
To insure a thick privet hedge, cut
back three inches every time the
plants make six inches of growth.
Evergreens from the nursery can be
safely transplanted by the end of July
It is important to keep the roots moist
with as much soil adherfnQ ms nos
dble.
Always keep on the lookout for pos
sible mosquito-breeding places, rair
barrels upturned cans, low places II

Safe Anesthesia,

Nov that surgeons are in the habit
of removing the tonsils entirely, the
methods of anesthesia in vogue when
they were merely clipped have be-
come inadequate. For the operation
takes time, and the gas and oxygen
anesthesia does not last long enough
to permit of complete dissection of
both tonSilS.
DR.. j. Bloomfield. senior anesthetist
of st. Georges hospital, London,
writes in the Lancet that he has
found the best general method, both
for children and adults, consists in
giving a preliminary dose of atropine,
gradually producing deep degree of
unconsciousness by mixture of
chlorofOrm and ether, supplemented in
some cases by a few minutes of open
ether. This generally suffices, he says,
and when it does not, he reapplies
chloroform from a junker's inhaler OF
an open mask.

A Fit.

Discussing the American hotel,
which of late years has largely ceased
to pay, George c.. Boldt of New York
said:
''Some people complain that the
front of the house, the room clerks
or greeters, are not courteous enough
in American hotels.
"Be the fact as it may, the front
of the house can't be too courteous.
In a shore hotel a newcomer said to
a greeter:
81 like the seventh floor back well
enough, sir, but isn't the bed rather
short?"
"'Well, you see,' said the greeter,
the people who take our seventh floor
backs are usually rather short them

Thrashed by a Man of Peace

A Yorkshire village will have folk
tale about the conscientious objector
long after the war is over.
This conscientious objector told the
tribunal that he would not defend his
mother and sisters. The two sisters
worked at the mill and were twitted
numerically about their chicken
hearted protector. The appeal failed,
and the conscientious objector had to
report himself at the barracks. On
his last night at home he waited for
the chief tOrmentOr and thrashed him.
And now every time that patriot
goes out he is laughed at by all the
village as the man who met consci-
entious Observation-Disclosures (Eng.)
Guardian.

Not Entirely New.

An item going the rounds to the
effect that a yellow rambler rose has
been discovered by an explorer in
China, and that it's seed will shortly be
introduced into the United States,
where the species is now unknown,
has aroused, it would seem, the indig-
nation of half the gardeners in the lat
ter country. The item says, among
other things, ''Those who take delight
in the crimson rambler will be glad to
welcome the new flower to this coun-
try" If one will look over the seed
and plant catalogues received this
spring it will be discovered that they
contain very pretty pictures of yell
low rambler rose that has long been
an early summer bloomer over a wide
area of the United States.

PLAN FOR BEAUTY IN GROUNDS
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

The beauty which is near at hand is
often neglected while we prize that
which Is denied us-we refer to the
beauty and desirability of the Celas-
trus, or bitter sweet vine. This native
climber, found in our woods and along
our fences, is one Of the most salts
factory vines that can be grown about
the home.

grower. twining securely about It's sup
port and 1t is not liable to disease. In
the fall, when flowers are scarce, 1t
covers itself with clusters Of orange
colored fruit. which the frost opens,
revealing its crimson seeds.
Choose a dark, rainy day, II possible,
for the transplanting. otherwise do
this work at sunset--we mean in trans
planting seedlings. Water the seed
bed thoroughly a short time before you
begin to transplant, then lift the
plants, with all the soil their roots
hold, and remove to the permanent
bed.
Keep the seedlings covered with q
wet cloth. so that the heat and wind
will not dry them. With a sharp-point-
ed stick make the hole for the plant
and then hll II with water. Plant the

VOTING AGE VARIES
Franchise Right Not the Same in
All Countries.
Belgium Furnishes Those Who Fail to
Exercise Their Privilege of Cast
ing BaIIot-Women to Vote for
President This Year.

The great army of stay-at-home
voters have no pride in what Doctor
Holmes describes thus:
The freeman casting with unpurchased
hand
The vote that shakes the turrets of the
land.
We get our word vote from the
Latin ''votum,'' and originally a vote
means vow or pledge. An old Roman
method of casting a vote once consist
ed in striking a spear against shield,
and from the Latin expression describ-
ing the resultant noise we get our word
suffrage.
Ballot" too, has an ancient origin.
The Greeks on important occasions
cast secret votes by using pebbles, and
their word has come down to our time.
A recent perusal of our newspapers,
however, will show that present-day
politicians don't stop with casting peb
bles. They carry it to the point of
Singing mud.
Anywhere in the United States one
must have lived twenty-one years be-
fore he can vote. Not so in many other
countries.
The Hun votes at twenty, but the
Austrian, in the other half Of the EN-
pire, must be twenty-four. Prussians
cannot vote until they are twenty-five
years old, and that is the minimum age
limit in number of German states.
Twenty-Five is also the age in Hol-
land, Belgium and Japan. Denmark is
a believer in the wisdom that comes
with age, hence no one there under
thirty can vote. English-speaking races
may vote at twenty-one.
| In many countries soldiers are dis
franchised. and under the Portuguese
| kingdom no domestic servant or gov
ernment employee had ballot.
Sam Salter never lived in Belgium,
system of multiple voting. College
graduates, for example, have three
votes, and so do many others who full
fill property requirements.
About 100000 Belgians have each
three votes, and more than that num-
Der have two votes. And notice this,
Mr.. Stay-at-Home, failure to vote in
DelSlulh Is punishable as msQe-
meanOr.
Idaho withholds the ballot from big
!amists. Election bets disfranchise
men in some states, and one duel will
keep any man from the polls in Florida
for all time.
A pauper cannot vote in Massachus
setts, while nearly all states speciical-
ly debar idiots, felons and insane from
the use of the suffrage.
More than 100000 women will be
able to vote in the United States this
year, and that will bring the total pos
sible vote for presidential electors up
% nearly 100000, or double the
number cast four years ago.-Philadel-
phia Ledger.

roof cutters, and liquid manure tubs.
Drain off and apply kerosene.
Make notes this year to guide you in
next years planting plans. Il you see
a shrub or flower that you admire, find
out the name and variety if possible
Replace wooden floors and posts
with concrete, and the work is done
for all time.
Keep all the fence corners cleaned
out. More vermin are harbored there
than anywhere else on the place.
BY ordering the various Dutch bulbs
-hyacinths, tulips, crocuses, narcis-
sus, daffodils-early, and by enabling
your nurseryman to book his order,
you can usually get better prices and
quality.
Pinch off the seed pods from azaleas
and rhododendrons to insure good
flower buds next year.
Give Japanese iris plenty Of water
to Insure good blooms.
Use lawn clippings as a mulch for
rose bushes.
With nearly all plants it is neces-
sary to keep the flowers cut to prolong
the bearing season. This is especially
true Of sweet peas.
Flowers that are not making salts
factory growth may be stimulated into
activity by liquid manure.
Most native wild flowers may be
transplanted safely to the home gar
den If a square piece of soil is cut up

disturbed as little as possible.
AS fast as flowers fade on the her

the garden.
For late flowers of gladiolus plant
bulbs not later than July 10. Put in
some tuberoses also.
