Great Russian FIGHTER.

More than any other member of the
royal family. the Grand Duke Nicholas
Nicholaievitch has devoted himself to
the profession Of soldering.
AS youth Of twenty-one in the war
of 1S77-1S7S with Turkey, he went with
his father, who bore the same name.
to the Danube and the Balkans. where
the elder Nicholas was commander in
chief of the Russian forces in Euro
Dean Turkey.
He was then junior officer in the
hussar regiment and was on the staff
of General Radetzky. He took part in
the campaigns Of Plevna, Lovcha and
the Shipka pass, received the Cross
Of st. George for valor, and established
the foundation OF his present high rep
utation as horseman and expert on
cavalry matters.

Teach Things Of Value.

Where one has never made the ex.
pertinent of leaving OFF coffee and
drinking Postum, it is still easy to
learn something about it by reading
the experiences of others.
Drinking Postum is pleasant way
out of coffee troubles. A Penn. man
Gays:
"My wife was a victim of nervous
ness, weak stomach and loss Of ap-
petite for years; and although we re-
sorted to numerous methods for re-
lief. one Of which was a change from
coffee to tea, it was all to no purpose.
'"We knew coffee was causing the
trouble but could not find anything to
take its place until we tried Postum.
Within two weeks after she quit coffee
and began using Postum almost all OF
her troubles had disappeared as If by
magic. 1t was truly wonderful. Her
nervousness was gone, stomach trou
BILE relieved, appetite improved and,
above all. nights rest was complete
and refreshing.
This sounds like an exaggerations
as It all happened so quickly. Each
day there was improvement for the
Postum was undoubtedly strengthen
ing her. Every particle Of this good
work is due to drinking Postum in
place of coffee" Name given by Pos
tum Co. Battle Greek. Mich.
Postum comes in two forms:
Postum cereal--the original form
must be well boiled. 15c and 25c pkgs.
Instant Postum-a soluble powder

Ger, and, with cream and sugar, makes

and Soc tins.
Both forms are equally delicious
and cost about the same per cup.

THE FRONT YARD
BY E. VAN eENTHuYsEN.

The neatest yard now has smooth
lawn grass sod kept closely mown,
while the flowers and shrubbery are
restricted to the sides and rear. This
not only renders the lawn more easily
kept than where there are flower
beds to NOW around and trim, or trees
or shrubs 10 dodge, but it is really
more restful in appearance.
If there is room for only one shrub,
let it be Hydrangea paniculata, the
magnificent tresses of bloom lasting
for weeks.
It should be cut back every spring
fully half of the previous years
growth. While this may go against
the will 1t insures larger blossoms and
more of them.
A liberal mulching with stable
manure is also in order. Roots may
be transplanted in either spring or
fail.
The Deutzias have extreme hardi-
ness, neat form, profusion Of bloom
and early blossoms to commend them,
and are worthy Of a place in any col
lection.
Several of the Spireas are beautiful
with graceful rose colored or white
blossoms. While not all of these
Withstand the late frosts which come
in May, just when they are ready to
put forth their feathery bloom, the
beauty of the blossoms when they are
perfect atones for an occasional miss.
Among June blossoms none are
greater favorites than the syringa or
mock orange, the flowers being as
fragrant as beautiful. While the
shrub itself is perfectly hardy, late
frosts sometimes kill the buds; and
an observing grower gives the rule
that there will be orange blossoms
when there will be peaches.
Calycanthus is curious shrub,
the brownish blossom being odorous
of strawberries, yet with SO many

hairs. either greenish or tinged with
red.
The Spigelia is handsome when in
bloom, the tubular blossoms of white,
rose or purple being produced In pro-
fusion. A variety with leaves varie-
gated with gold is especially pleasing.
Instead of planting in rows the
fancy is now to group the shrubs and
the flowers for cutting. Place the
taller ones in the rear with the short
er ones in front.

PLANTS FOR NORTH WINDOWS
By BETTY PAkE.

d =
To make boxes in windows with a
northern exposure attractive and
cheerful fill them with the following
plants:
For vines, plant either variegated
vincas or English ivy, or both inter-
mingled. vincas are very bright, but
they will not survive exposure to
freezing temperature, while English
ivy will stand unhurt all through the
winter. Either of these vines should
be planted about one foot apart. The
main part of the boxes can be planted
with begonias, which can be procured
from any florist In various colors,
white, pink, red. The boxes, If planted
wholly with material of uniform
height, are apt to have an artificial
appearance, to prevent which, plants
that grow taller and having a more
graceful habit should be placed, say,
one to every half dozen of the others,
and for this purpose few plants equal
dracaena terminals.
Pansies do fairly well In the shade,
and SO does saliva OF scarlet sage. If
English iyey is used for vine, it will be
found to be Of advantage in that when
the other plants in the boxes are
killed by frost the ivy remains and can
be left all winter, with the space taken
up by the other plants filed with
small evergreens.
