REFoRMAToRY FOR WOMEN.

There can be little question but what there is need for reformatory for women in this state. It has been repeatedly pointed out, cases are con- -stantly. coming to light which prove ft and the legislature has been urged on different occasions to make pro- vision for such an institution.
 In the last four years there has rbeen a valid excuse in the fact that fhe finances of the state did not war rant such an outlay and that this was one of the things which could wait without any greater harm than has prevailed in the past. but with the state looking up financially it is time that a start was made towards sup w6ing this need.
 The state board of charities has fla Eored 1t and the governor in his mes sage comments it, but in keeping with the policy of doing away with a lot of needless commissions he believes that the wisdom of combining such a reformatory with the state school for girls, or at least on the same grounds and under the same mana cement ought to be considered. The sugges- tfon is a meritor1ous one and the pos abilities should be looked into. It is in keeping with the plan of conduct ing the State inebriate farm in con- nection with the state hospital here, but why cannot such an investigation as is needed regarding the reforma- tory be conducted in time to permit of action by the present legislature if the proper attention is devoted to it? Tt certainly ought not to require two years to determine and report on the advisability of the governors sugges- tfon, and the quicker a decision can be reached upon this point the quicker something can be done towards a start on the woman's reformatory.

TREE PLANTING.
Urged by New YorIe's Park Commis- sioner to Improve Appearance o' Streets.

You will be a better man, live a happier life, and your property will be worth more if you plant a tree ir front of your house, according to Park Commissioner Cabot Ward. of New York, who has issued an appeal to New Workers to let him be the gardener for the whole city.
 In his guide to would-be tree plant CTS, MT. Ward said that in Manhattan there were only 15.0o0 trees. and they are disappearing five times as fast as they are being replaced.
 The streets planted with regularly spaced trees enhance the beauty of the locality and indirectly of the en- tire city" the Commissioner said. They add charm to the finest archi- lecture and improve untidy and for bidding surroundings. Each dwelling, apartment house and tenement de- rives a direct advantage, not merely in improved appearance because cf the touch of green, but in a very real and increased value from the cooling shade"
