Thousands and thousands of trees
are killed every year by planters al
lowing the roots to become dry, and the
nursery man from whom they are pur
chased is condemned for the careless
ness of the purchaser.
A stake should be set where each
tree or shrub is to be planted, and the
name may be written on the stake. Dig
the holes carefully and of ample size,
so the roots may assume natural pO-
SitiOn in their new location. Put the
top soil around the roots and the bal
ance on the surface.
Before the stock is set out prune the
of last seasons growth, so the tree
will be able to thrive less the roots 1t
has lost through its removal from the
spot where it originally grew. Cut, off
the ends of all bruised roots, leaving q
clean, smooth cut.
Set the trees so they will be as deep
as they stood in the nursery. The
feeding roots are near the surface !;
therefore, too deep planting is injuri-
Gus. Dwarf pears and budded roses
should be set with the bud two inches
below the surface
Work the soil well in around the
roots, and as soon as the roots are
covered tramp down the soil with the
feet and gently pour in pail of water,
and second and third pail if the soil
is dry, until the soil is thoroughly
moistened. Wait until the water has
soaked in and then fill up the hole.
Do not plant trees on land that has
been cut down by grading and filed
in with earth from a cellar and ex-
pect them to grow

Economy in Summer Wear.

There are two things to do to ar
of summer-dust, bleaching sun, per-
spiratiOn and salt water. One clean
them; two, color them. OF course, if
the color is actually faded out cleaning
Will hardly do any good. Often, how
ever, things that are apparently faded
are only badly soiled, and thorough
cleaning is all that they need.
The market is full of cleaners and
colOrerS of various sorts. SO, if you
have a soHed white straw hat, first try
cleaning it with some bottled or boxed
preparation and then, if it remains
soiled looking, try coloring it with
some other preparation.
SO, too, if a white frock or blouse
seems yellOwish or grayish, boil it hrst
in water to which little washing soda
is added. If it bleacheS nicely, we'll
and good. If not, get some dye and
dye it to some pretty shade~of pink or
blue
Rag rugs that have been washed so
many times that they are losing their
color can be satisfactorily dyed. The
color in them will modify the color of
the dye, to some extent, 50 count on
that when you are choosing the color
to dye them.
There are many satisfactory hat
dyes with which straw hats can De
cOlored easily in almost any shade.
Follow the eZDlicjt directions ALWAYS
given with these commercial coloring
liquids to get the best results.
For faded pink lingerie, remember,
there are bottles of pink liquid to re-
store it's original hue. A few drops Of
red ink to bowl Of water, too, will
brighten pink lingerie, and so will a lit
tie red dye well diluted with water.

"Can / have your seaty" he asked.
"Sure, it's the last one on the right
hand side, cross seat"
The man clambered aboard and hur-
r1ed to the seat just left vacant.
Fare please" said the conductor
shortly afterwards.
Fare nothing" responded the man.
II just took the other fellows place
who got off and he said he paid to
the end of the line and said that l
could have his seat"
The response evidently was stun
ner for the new conductor and he was
so surprised he passed up the fare.

was, of course, a one-piece affair, but
toning in the center back.
Straight-frOm-the-ne dresses dis
tinguished by plated side panels or
panels Of contrasting fabric, and fair
number of little frocks of the Kate
GreenaWay type are also liked.
The little frock shown in the sketch
is the ''jaquette" type, short wasted
and demure. Plain and plaid serge or
taffeta may be used for this frock, or
it may be a distinctly summer model,
made Of chambray, Bingham or linen.
The dress is Of the tailored type, there
fore better suited to sturdy material
than to one Of the sheer fimsy weaves,
such as voile, handkerchief linen, etc.
If desired, two materials Or colOrs
may be used, the skirt and sleeves be-
ing of plaid, and the jaquette of one
tone fabric. If this development is
favored, or other trimming is really
required, although braid or narrow vel
vet ribbon may be used if wool or silk
material is selected.
The dress might be made of white or
colored heavy linen or chambray and
heavy embroidery in conventional de-
sign used to decorate the skirt and
jaquette and smart little pockets.
To make this frock for child six
years, if, only one fabric is used, two
and half yards, SO inches wide, will
be required. If the jaquette employs
a different material two yards for the
dress and three-quarters of a yard of
material SO inches wide for the ia
quette will be needed.
A study of type, with the idea of
harmonizing the individual and her
apparel, is quite as important in select
ing the wardrobe Of the very young
woman as in choosing clothes for the
grown-up member of the family
Setting the foundation of good taste
in dressing may begin quite early in
life, with profit to all concerned, and
the question of expenditure plays only
minor part in the final showing.

Their Fear Not Realized.

The great fear of those whose act
here in Philadelphia 40 years ago
made this a nation was that the state
would not remain nation, writer In
the Philadelphia Public Ledger says.
History has proved IN their case the
falsity of the epigram
"The thing you fear will get you"
What they feared never happened.
We are young country, but a very old
government, as governments go.
Call the roll of the nations and you
will see that q majority Of them are
babies beside the United States. ia
pans present imperial regimen Is not
half a century old.
The house of Hohenzollern Is fairly
ancient, but the German empire Is not
yet fifty and the French republic Is no
older.
Austria and Hungary were yoked
together long after Franklin told the
signers of the Declaration Of Independ-
ence they must all hang together or be
hanged separately.
Italy's kingdom Is not half so old as
the United States. Portuga's republic
is thing too young to vote, and the
Chinese republic has not yet been
weaned.
All the score of Central and South
American republics are much younger
than is this greatest Of world repub-
lies.
Nearly half the human race has now
copied that lesson which was an
nounced by the Liberty bell.

ABOUT TREE PLANTING.
BY LIMA n. ROSE.

Evergreen trees may be planted sew
eral weeks later than deciduous trees,
but as a rule the earlier the work is
done the better.
Keep the roots of the trees and
shrubs covered with earth or damp
moss until the moment they are to be
put into the ground. If not ready for
planting when the stock is received,
take them from the box or bundle and
heel them in This will keep the roots
from drying, and the labels should be
arranged so that any particular tree
can be selected as wanted.
Heeling-in consists Of digging a
trench, say q foot deep and two feet
wide, in any convenient spot in the
garden. The roots of the trees are set
in the trench and the earth sprinkled
over them so that all the roots Will be
covered, firming the soil by treading
with the feet.

NOTES ON BLOOMING THINGS
by ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYSEN.

If you want to encourage blooming
I'm your hybrid and tea roses, cut back
TO a well-developed bud at the juncture
of leaf and stem when cutting off the
rose
1t is not generally known that If a
spray of gladiOlus is cut when the first
flower appears. or rather opens, and
placed in water it will bloom just as
Well as if on the stalk.
Poppies are short-lived after being
cut, and therefore are unsatisfactory
fOr decoration. However, if every
bloom is cut in the evening and thrown
away, those flowers that open next
mOrning will last two or three days
IF they are plunged in water up to
their necks for an hour or two. After
"a thorough soaking they can be used in
vases, and their beauty Will charm for
two or three days.
The sweet peas, like every flower
that blows, demands a daily stripping
of every bloom. Producing seeds is
done at the expense of blooms. How
ever, flowers should be cut with sharp
shears, never torn from the plant.
Never cut the flowers of the wax
plant unless you wish no further
blooms. It's flowers are produced in
EXACTLY the same "eye" each time, and
IF this eye is removed no more flowers
will develop.
Weak liquid manure is just the slim
ulant most flowers need when they
bloom. Do not stint them In this re-
spect.
Another aid to the profusion of flow
ers is plenty of water.
The dust mulch in time of drought is
beneficial when water is scarce.
No matter what the calendar says,
do not plant your tube roses out of
doors too early in the spring.
Protect the toad. He is the garden
er's friend.
]. Mulch sweet peas by sowing seeds
of any of the iow-growing ANNALS
along the pea trenches and thereby
extend their blooming season.
Do not try to grow flowers or vege-
tables too thickly on the ground. Thin
out with a liberal hand, and give each
sufficient space to develop naturally.
If the lawn shows bald spots, or
looks shabby, scatter about guano be-
fore q shower.

PHLOX FOR GREENHOUSE.

Perennial phlOx makes splendid pot
plants for the greenhouse when
treated after the manner of chrysan-
themums. Make cuttings as soon as
the shoots are about two inches long.
Root them in small pots, moving them
along into six-inch pots and when they
are filled with roots feed with liquid
manure.
For potting soil use good loan two
parts and well-rotted manure one part.
Grow the plants outside, with the pots
plunged to the rim in earth.
Water literally throughout the sum-
mer and only put them in the green
house to finish.

Napoleon Hat.

NAPOLEON sports hats are the latest
and most dashing. The brim, very
wide and very flexible, is slashed
from edge to crown at the center
front, bound with black grOsgrain rib
bon and laced up with narrow black
velvet; finally the slashed brim is
turned directly up against the crown
and fastened there with small,
smart black velvet bow. Worn with
a black and white checked sports coat,
all big pockets and big white pearl
buttons, black Napoleon hat of the
sort described is indisputably chic and
distinguished. Of course, white gloves
and white washable kid boots will &C
company the dashing hat and coat.

Broom-Corn Soils.

Broom corn is hard on the land.
But Illinois farmers who grow large
crops of this corn have found way
to prevent much of this soil sapping.
The stalks, after the brush is cut
from them, are plowed under while
they are green. This adds humus and
fertility to the soil.

"Another Gold Brick"

It is in dispute whether Colonel Roosevelt said to J. A. Fl. Hopkins, chairman of the New Jersey Progress i've state committee, that MT. Hughes might turn out to be another gold brick" MT. Hopkins says the colonel made the statement to him "in the early part of the year" in discussing the presidential nomination. The colonel vehemently denies MT. Hop kins' quotation, and denounces 1t as false, absolutely false"
 As matters stand, the public is forced to judge by probabilities. A man as garrulous and incorporate of speech as the colonel and who habitu- ally disputes words attributed to him may at least be suspected of having defective memory.
 On many occasions it has been the colOnels misfortune to disagree with other people as to his utterances. No man in public life has more often faced this predicament, and no one has more consistently, in the face of the evidence, branded as q liar" the per son whose memory appeared to be bet ter than the colonel's.
