Henry James on France.

She has gardened where the soil of
humanity has been most grateful, and
the aspect, so to call it, most toward
the sun, and there, at the high and yet
mild and fortunate center, she has
grown the precious, intimate, nourish--
ing, finishing things that she has mex
haustibly scattered abroad. And if we
have all taken them from her, so ex.
pected them from her as our right, to
the point that she would have seemed
positively to fail of passed pledge to
help us to happiness If she had disap-
pointed us, this has been because of
her treating us tc the impression of
genius as no other nation since the
Greeks has treated the watching
world, and because of our feeling that
genius at that intensity is infallible.-

WISE HOSTESS
Won Her Guests to Postum.

Three great coffee drinkers were
my old school friend and her two
daughters.
They were always complaining and
taking medicine. ! determined to give
them Postum instead of coffee when
they visited me- so without saying
anything to them about it, made a
big pot of Postum the first morning.
Before the meal was half over,
each one passed up her cup to be re-
filled, remarking how fine the coffee
was. The mother asked for a third
cup and inquired as to the brand Of
coffee l used. I didn't answer her
question just then, for heard her say
q while before that she didn't like Pos
tum unless it was more than half
coffee.
After breakfast I told her that the
coffee she liked so well at breakfast
was pure Postum, and the reason she
liked it was because it was properly
made.

A recent investigation of the rela-
tive merits of parallel and staggered
arrangement of street lamps is most
interesting, since it discloses that from
an ornamental viewpoint the former is
preferable, while, from a utilitarian
viewpoint, the latter is preferable I'M
der certain conditions. By parallel ar
rangement is meant the placing of
lamps so that they come opposite each
other, while staggered arrangement
means that the lamps on one side of
street are placed so as to come half
way between those on the opposite
side. In general, the staggered ar
rangement furnishes more uniform il
Elimination. However, where the
street width is not much greater than
the distance between lamp standards,
the parallel arrangement is preferable.
In instances where the street width is
considerably greater than the spacing
OF the lamps, the staggered arrange
ment will give the best results.-Sci-

COLOR SCHEMES IN GARDENS
Matter In Which America Might Profit
by the Example Set by English
Landscape Artists.

Little attention is paid to garden
color schemes, less in California than
elsewhere, for the reason that every
thing blooms so riotously here that
we deem attempts at control quite I'M
necessary, says the Los Angeles
Times. The English are the great
color artists of the garden and they
have garden books upon this subject
alone. Sometimes colors are used for
effects not necessarily allied to har-
mony, as when yellow is used on
points thrust forward to shorten the
apparent distance and blue is used to
deepen the recesses and make them
appear farther in the distance.
Many of the good-sized local gardens
have long borders where color schemes
could be wrought with ANIMALS or
perennials, or with both. Remember
two points which may be called funda-
mentals: White is the one great neu-
trailer or harmonizer in flowers and
gray performs a similar office in foil
age. Borders in which white flowers
and gray foliage heavily predominant
may have any and all colors in har-
mony so long as they do not mix, but
have between them mere touch of
white. Such peace-maker is often
more necessary between shades closely
allied than in marked contrasts. Thus
with two shades of pink the lighter ap-
pears washed and faded in close com
parison with a deeper and therefore
stronger hue. Even great masses of
white relieved by an occasional touch
of any color never appear monotonous

Meat Forms Uric Acid.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says well-known authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked;
get sluggish; clog up and cause all
sorts Of distress, particularly backache
and misery in the kidney region; rheh-
matte twinges, severe headaches, acid
stomach, constipation, torpid liver,
sleeplessness, bladder and urinary ir-
ritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid Of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to normal
activity; also to neutralize the acids in
the urine SO it no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder disorders.
