quests of Italian soil that Italy is now seeking to rend from the grasp of the Hapsburgs.
 A glance at the map shows that tongue of hill country, by nature Ital- ian, which Austria holds-the west side of it stretching down due south from near the Stelvio to the head of Lake Garda, whence it's eastern boun- dary slopes northeastward up to the ridge of the Carnic Alps. Within this triangle is contained one of the love- Hest hill countries in the world. The great snowy groups of Ortler, Oetzthal, Zillerthal and the Tauern do not be- long to it.

But all that is below-the smiling val leys, the crimsoned limestone peaks and walls of the Dolomites, the rich valleys that drain into the Adige or in to Garda-these are Italian, Italian in atmosphere, in color, in vegetation, in architecture, Tn language and senti- ment, and whatever else gives char acter to a land

THE rising generation will know i more of geography than any CS it's predecessors. Noth-
 ing teaches geography like war, more than any other, this war South Africa, the Cameroons, East Africa, the Sinaitic peninsula, the Per sian gulf, Armenia the Dardanelles and all central Europe have been the scenes of dramatic events in which everyone has been forced to take inter- est. And those events have in every case been conditioned by the forma- tion and climate of the countries in which they have occurred. The world scene of warfare has become real to us through the many detailed accounts printed by the newspapers and the memory of what has thus been im- pressed upon us will not soon pass away.
 Nothing was further removed from the minds of most peace-time tourists in their Wanderings than to look at the countries through which they passed as likely in their own day to be devas. tated by war. Occasionally one be- comes conscious of the existence of forts in recondite lofty positions, but these he was not permitted to ap- proach and seldom wanted to- If he crossed the Brenner by railway from Innsbruck to Italy he could scarcely avoid noticing the Notifications Of Franzensfeste, but why they should be there and what they were expected to attain-as to all that the mere tourist thought little and cared less. For no landscape in the world is less sugges- tive of war than a mountain landscape. Nature seems to have built up moun- tains to keep hostile people apart. She might have done the work a great deal better. Why did she leave here and there such notable gaps in their ranges? Why did she spread those ranges out so widely from side to side, and dip into them such attractive val ley approaches?

 There is hardly mountain range in the world that does not invite men to traverse it somewhere. The Alps are particularly thus preached, with the result that for all their formidable

STORING MANURE FOR GARDEN
By LIMA R. ROSE.

A common practice is to manure the garden every year, late in the fall or before planting in the spring, no fur ther attention being given. This prac- tice, however, is not the best.
 The manure for the garden should be kept in a large box with lid or so screened that flies cannot enter it. Manure heaps are the natural breed ing places of these pests and if they are allowed to remain near the house, uncovered, will prove a great hui sance.
 A good plan is to use very close wire screen nailed to a frame with hinges for the top. The manure should be spaded often on the top so that the water rom the clods or the sprinkling pot may penetrate to all portions of it.
 If kept in box a spout should be placed in one corner, at the bottom, so that the water may drain into a sunken barrel.
 This will supply liquld manure which can be used at all seasons when vegetables and flowers are growing.
 The manure ill the bottom should be worked over once or twice a month working the bottom to the top so that the entire heap may rot.
 Manure may be kept in this way if the boxes are placed at the farthest end ot the garden and if surrounded with vines their presence will never be noticed from the dwelling.

appearance they have as often con nected as sundered the peoples on either side of them. They form today no racial boundary From the earliest ages the people in the north have pressed down over them and even the loftiest Italian valleys on the south slope of Monte Rosa itself are colon ized by Teutonic stock. Thus it hap pens that the Italian Ticino and Ital- ian Tyrol both remain under Teutonic government and the frontier of the Alps has never, in fact, been the DO litical frontier of Italy.
 The Alpine playground of Europe takes great deal of knowing. In a visitors first season the great snow mountains impose their eminence upon him, and if he is likewise a climber he will have little attention to spare for valleys, but will spend his wonder up on the glaciers and the high crags and the great phenomena of the central mountains. But when the first flush of novelty has passed from them the maturer lover of the Alps finds de- lights no less keen at lower levels. The valleys have each a character of their own and the mountains themselves are not all alike. There are mountains built of crystalline rock and others of limestones of different qualities aAd colors. It is not necessarily the high est and hardest that take the firmest hold upon our affections.

Kidney Medicine That
 Stands the Highest

Some twelve years ago I began handling Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and we have heard nothing but praise for it as it seems to give entire satisfaction in every instance. From the manner in which customers speak sufficient confidence in it to recommend Swamp Root above all other kidney reme- dies. From the demand I judge it to be the most generally used kidney medicine in this country, and reports regarding it are always favorable.

the smaller peaks of the Maritimes, of the graceful Cottians, or of recon dite Dauphine. To each region there IS charm all it's own. And as with the peaks, so with the valleys. The better we come to know them the more varied do we find them. We soon learn to divide them into two main contrasting groups: Those that in cline northward, mainly into German lands, and those that bend south down to the rich Italian plain, and these lat ter are far more charming than the others.
 Are Essentially Different.
 In ancient days the region north of the Alps was mainly a dense forest. South of them has always been the open fertile Italian plain. The winds from the north were dry and cold i; those from the south warm and laden with fertilizing moisture Thus nature herself imposed a different atmos- phere upon these two sundered re- gions; and though now, on both sides, tiAS LClCoto letNC DGcu uIlNel dlOlI ana the lands suitable for it have been tanned beneath the blow, the essential difference abides. Fertile Italy climbs aloft from one side; strenuous Ger many from the other The very do- mestic architecture proclaims the diff. ference. The Italian valleys of the Alps are old friends of the sun and of the vine. Bacchus and Pan are there at home. They seem to open to the visitor warm heart. Even where the lemon cannot bloom the scent of it seems to penetrate. The southern val leys always seem to draw one from the Alpine heights as those to the north never can. You may not be able to see the Mediterranean far to the south, but you know and seem to feel that it is there, and thither you are impelled by the strange force that has drawn the men of the north southward since the days when the Dorians swept down upon the Aegean and long before.
 This southward tendency 1t was that brought the Germans over into Italy the Franks under Charlemagne, the Ottonians and the Hohenstaufen later and 1t is the remnant of their con

ORCHIDS EASY TO GROW
By L. M. BENNINGTON.

Contrary to the general opinion or chids are by no means difficult to grow to their fullest perfection An other prevalent error is that the orchid is exclusively a rich mans flower" This is by no means true. Many of the varieties are relatively inexpen- sive, and it is possible by the expendi- ture of a very limited amount of money to have a collection of superlative beauty.
 They require the proper kind of a house, the correct materials in which to grow them. care in watering and temperature and the same attention that must be given to every growing thing. but given these, the orch'1 will reward the grower most abund- antly.
