Gen. Funston was compelled to give approval

soil under hre, but no doubt he felt Inundated
Gen. Parker says Funston in formal state

been received from the War Department =
OF course there are those who will critcise, but
they are not fully informed, and do not realize
the consequences that would have followed had
Gen. Parker taken any other line of action" The

Washington street railway official says that
the education OF the public would be an impor-
tant step in the direction of efficient service.
This is true enough, but it is just as true that
far more important step would be the education
OF some of the employees and some of the off
eials higher up. Slow moving and slow thinking
patrons undoubtedly much unnecessary de-
lay to traffic, but stupid and wilfully neglcctful
employees, not under competent direction and con-
troll contribute their full share to whatever inef-

BIRD WIGWAGS LOVE SIGNALS
Racket-Tailed Hammer Also May Be
Said to Use Flags to Challenge
Its Foes.

Signal officer of the birds army
corps is the racket-tailed hummine
bird. For his duties nature has
equipped him with a pair of purple
flags fashioned out of two long and
peculiar tail feathers. He wigwags his
signals from one tree to another, is.
sues his challenges to battle and courts
his mate. When he's not signaling he's
slipping honey from the flowers and
trying to keep his tail from entangline
itself in the briers
He's midget of the South American
mountains. He has short wings, which
he operates at lightning speed, hum,
ming song with them as he dives into
a flower and comes out again with
billful of honey.
His tail is a combination Of two wire.
like handles, with a purple tuft OF
feathers at the end of each. He crosses.
them near the middle and sometimes
he brings the pair of "rackets" at the
ends to his head, as though trying tc
fan himself.
The male birds have sort of love
dance which they engage in during the
mating season. Then they play all
sorts of tricks with the rackets.

DAISIES EVERY MONTH
Rx LIMA z. ROSE.

In the mild climate of California
and some of the southern states,
daisies bloom all the year around. In
California these flowers grow very
much larger than those of the East
as do all the Pacific coast flowers; but
they seem to lack brilliancy, and to
many persons are not as satisfactory.
Luther Burbank developed the
Shasta daisy to very large and beau
tiful flower, and this is largely taking
the place Of the Marguerite or Paris
daisy which has long been favorite
with Californians.
In some colder climates, of course,
it is impossible to keep daisies bloom
ing every month; but by planting diff
ferent varieties, some Of them may be
Kept, blooming nearly the entire sum-
mer.
The daisy is really not domesticat-
ed flower, as a great many long-grow-
ing wild flowers are called daisies.
Many varieties are classed as weeds
In fact. the ox-eyed daisy, which IS
pla ltiful all through New England

THE FRONT YARD
BY E. VAN RENTHUYsEN.

The neatest yard now has a 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 to dodge, but it is really
more restful in appearance.
II there is room for only one shrub,
let it be Hydrangea paniculata, the
magnificent tresses Of bloom lasting
for weeks.
1t should be cut back every spring
fully half of the previous years
growth. While this may go against
the will It 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
fall
The Deutzias have extreme harui-
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 Splreas 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 a curious shrub,
the brownish blossom being odorous
of strawberries, yet with so many
beautiful as we'll as fragrant bios

PLANTS FOR NORTH WINDOWS
BY BETTY PAKE.

To make boxes in windows with
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 70
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 we'll in the shade,
and so does saliva or scarlet sage. If
English ivey is used for a 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.
