The New Paris.

The red pantaloeHs Of the uniforms
are now pale blue, and under the steel
helmets, similar to the hurgonets of
the middle ages, the hardened faces
of the poilus speak Of battles. But
flowers are still to be had at the ki-
osks and from the little pushcarts; !;
children still play uoisily in the court
yards, or dance to the music of u
chance organ grinder; mothers smile
on meeting friends, and stop to talk
as ever, and the servants gossip in the
market places.
And yet all these faces, old and
young, aristocratic and humble civil
or military, bear the same expression,
grave, eXpectant, yelled one might
say that everybody listens to the dis
tant flow Of his very hearts blood,
while here runs its regular course. 1t

ternity which the war has impressed

HOME GROUND BEAUTIFUL
BY |. NJ. BENNINGTON.

AS soon as the spring towering
shrubs, like lilacs and others, have
done blooming, prune them. Cut back
to a strong eye or shoot, reserving the
characteristic form of the shrub.
This is the time to rest the house
plants. Do not encourage growth by
overwatering or fertilizing Pinch back
every bud that shows.
Look out for the weeds and do not
let them grow foot high and then
pull them. BY so doing you are apt to
disturb the surrounding flowers. If they
have not been attended to early in
their existence better let them alone.
For autumn blooming plant the as
ters. There is an endless variety Of
colors and blooms and they come to
shed their glory when other flowers
are past their beauty stage.
One Of the fastest growing vines we
have is the kudzie vine (Puerartia,
Thunbergiana). 1t comes from the
south of Japan and is hardy.
Use a sharp knife or scissors when
gathering flowers, Gather them early
in the morning and keep them in
large pail of water for some time be.
fore distributing them around the
house in vases.

HANDLE TREES WITH CARE
BY w. r. GILBERT.

To my mind. there is not half enough
attention paid to the way trees are
put into the hole when planting Some
people think that because trees have
roots they should grow nearly on top
Of every ditch in the country.
For ten years planted trees yearly.
Half the trees planted the first year
failed because | didn't know how to
plant properly. | said to myself there
was something wrong somewhere,
either in'the trees or in my want of
knowing how to plant.
l experimental a couple of years
and found out the secret of my failure.
Half of the young trees are nearly use
less for planting, on account of the
way that they are pulled at the
nurseries.
Some men, when they go pulling
trees in the nurseries, pull away Just
as though they were pulling turnips in
hurry slapping the roots together
and throwing them away as if they
were no more than rotten limbs.
Young trees, to my mind, should be
handled as carefully as eggs. They
should be dug out of the ground.
When the roots are strained in the
pulling they grow the first year badly
and then die away. l examined the
roots of a dozen young trees; there
we're two strained, and | cut the roots
short in two more, for experiments
sake.

can sit calmly down to a game of
cards"
She perched herself on the arm of
her fathers chair.
What are you playing for, dad
dy?"
Just to pass the time, daughter.
Run on out, you and Marion. We
have been talking over some matters
you wouldn't understand"
The girl passed her hands loving
ly over the old miners sparse hair.
The light in her eyes told Kynaston
what the loss Of her father would
mean to Dorothy. Then suddenly it
came to him that he was playing che
fourth hand, and that on the upshot
of this one hand it depended whether
or not that light should dawn again
in Dorothy Upton's eyes.
He bit his lips till the blood came
and ran down, salty trickle, into his
mouth. Upton looked at Kynaston
grimly as he flung the fifth card into
the widow and settled himself to play
his hand.
Patience and shuttle the cards,
as the Spaniards say. Wait a bit,
Kynaston."
He laid down his hand for a mo-
ment and shakingly lit cigarette.
"Who've you got at home, Kynas-
toni"
Sister. Why? What's that got to
do with it?"
How old are you, SOM"
twenty-five Still, why?"
AN I'm sixty-fve Did you aim
at that man, Kynaston? AS God is
your Judge, answer me-"
And straight as a shot came Kynas-
tons answer. Il aimed as deliberate
ly at him as ever aimed at anything
in my life. Did your
Il did. An without lyin more than
ordinarily | do, can say that If did

No. They covered it up with the
blanket too quick for me to see Why?'

The ones that we're not strained
grew healthy from the start and are
growing well. The ones that were
strained grew nearly right the first
year and died the second year, and
the ones that | cut a little of the roots
off lived in decline"
The roots, when planting, should be
spread out evenly in broad hole, not
deep, the roots just barely covered.
Where some, or most people, perhaps,
make the mistake is in sticking the
roots in bundle in a deep hole.
Trees planted in this fashion are
bound to fail. At least it has been my
experience.
Some people give the trees pull
up after planting. With this method
don't agree. There is no need Of
any more handling.
1t is important to press the roots,
secondly, say after a month, because
IL the air gets down alongside the
stem the tree is liable to fall.
have found always that the fall
was the best time for planting. When
they were put in later had more fail
ures.
Another thing noticed in planting,
if the young trees are any length of
time pulled, they are pretty sure to
"go under"
always steep the roots in a hole of
soft water the day before planting, and
have found them to grow and take
root more quickly than if they had not
been STEPPED.

FLOWER HINTS FOR BEGINNER
By E. VAN BENTHUYsEN.

| Flowers should have a friable, very
fertile soil in which to grow Often
they will make a fine showing in very
poor soil, but like humans they ap-
preciate good care.
Do not allow the flowers to form
seeds. AS soon as the flowers begin
to fade, pinch them off; your flowers
will keep in bloom much longer and
the blooms will be larger if you pay
attention to this little detail. Pansies
and sweet peas particularly require
looking after.
Use your flowers in borders and
around the sides of your lawn. Never
make flower beds in the center of
your lawn. A bit of green turf well
cared for is an asset to any home
grounds.
If you want a soft, thick turf on
your lawn NOW it often and let the
clippings lie where they fall. This
keeps the soil from drying out too
much and helps fertilize it as it de-
Gays.
Support sweet peas on a hedge of
brush. This is better than poultry
netting, as the sun does not heat it
and burn the tender tendrils of the
clinging sweet pea.
Plant your shade trees far enough
away from the house to allow the air
to circulate around the house. Sun
shine in the home is tonic and care
should be exercised when planting
that trees do not interfere or shade the
windows too much.
Do not plant your flowers too close
together. Give them all chance for
life, Pansies should be planted ten
inches apart Petunias and Verbenas
at least IS inches apart; Marigolds, |
two feet; Poppies, 10 inches; Zinnias, |
is inches, and Phlox, a foot Flow
ers will not be plentiful or thrifty If
grown too close together.

no; he is not the boss. The real boss
in this store IS the customer. It's the
customer that you and are here to

TRAINING THE ARMY HORSE
Animals That Serve With the British
Forces Go Through System
Of Education.

Horses are educated for the Brit.
ish army by methods which are rather
lengthy but in every way efficient.
A horse is first taught to lie down at
given signal Then he is taught to
trot round a field; then to jump hur.
dies. He is always rewarded for do.
ing well.
Gradually he is accustomed to va.
rious pieces Of harness, until, when
the time comes for him to be mounted
by a man, instead of plunging about
and having to be thrashed into sub
mission, he sees at last what the whole
thing is about, and thoroughly enters
into the spirit Of 1t. Then he is
trained to charge at dummy figures,
and he is always coaxed and soothed
II frightened. and soon learns that the
