Trees.

THE best way to plant" said Mr..
Burbank, when it can be afforded.
is to set out a number of trees, and
as they grow, thin out those which
may prove to be out of harmony with
the general effect"
THAT requires courage, Mr.. Bur.
bank"
Yes, a courage that few possess,
but the beauty of the whole depends
on 1t, and, besides, the young trees
shelter each other from sun and dry
large and in the case of some shrubs,
they may be transplanted ad help to
start a neighbors's garden"
What are some of the best trees
for ornament" asked the amateur.
Mr.. Burbank answered.:
THE NAPLES, the elmS, the lindenS,
birches and beeches, catalpas, noun
tain ash, the oaks, etc. And for the
low-growing trees the lovely Japanese
Towering cherries. crabapples and
plums with the catalpa bungei, the
Japanese naples, the Camperdown
elm, weeping mulberry and the dog
woods. These are suitable for nearly
all sections, but in warmer climates,
like Florida and California, the list Of
suitable trees becomes bewildering."
Mr.. Burbank continued:
THE taller growing trees may be
massed on the boundaries or in
corners, leaving the lawn almost un-
broken, wholly so, If small. Where
there is a view to be preserved, they
may be planted and afterward trim
med, or even removed, to give a visa,
and where there is anything unsightly
they may be planted so as to screen
it,"
May I add to the list the button
woods, laburnum, tulip tree and
gingko?"
"Certainly-they are all most de-
sirable, but again limits of space must
decide the matter"
But the garden writer, like all ANA
teurs, was ever reaching out for more,
as his next remark showed.
IF only we might grow the Cali

What TomorrowMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.

| Tomorrow'S planetary aspects are
quite benign and eminently suited for
all Sunday observances and recrea-
tons. They denote, until at dusk, a
desire for contentment. tranquility
and peace of mind. Even though
things may be said or acts may be
perpetrated that otherwise would
distress you, at this time you will
meet them all with Indifference and
with shrug of the shoulders. In the
evening the conditions are not quite
so favorable and there will be a tend.
ency to show the chip on the
shoulders, which only will provoke
unpleasantness and lack OF harmony.
This tendency must be fought If re.
grets are to be avoided and poise and
self-control firmly established. This
can best be done by quiet reading or
some other amusement of a harmless
| character.
| A child born tomorrow will not, at
! birth, be very strong and will inspire
a considerable amount of thought as
to it's future. This feeling, however,
is quite unnecessary. as, with proper
! care, 1t will develop into a healthy
| and normal creature. It's disposition
will be emotional and it's acts will be
more the result of impulse than de-
| liberation. It's character will not be
so firmly established as could be de-
sired, and, although wishing at all
times to do that which is right and
never inspired by the desire to do
any one harm, 1t will, byt it's lack of
| vision, very often cause considerable
trouble where none was intended. 1t
will not be very studious. nor will 1t
shine at school, but. with constant
| effort, it will succeed in getting by
1t will be exceptionally affectionatet
and very demonstrative, and If its
love be returned will be exceedingly
happy, although not materially sue
cessful. If its love, however, is not
reciprocated, it will be unhappy and
miserable.
Is tomorrow your birthday? If so,
by your experience and by your
actions you have succeeded in secur-
! ing the confidence of those associated
with you. You have great ambitions.
are very shrewd and possess a great
vision. With these qualifications, 1t
is possible TO attain to any height of
success. as those who trust you are
very valuable associates and will en-
able you to reach almost any goal.
You are considerate of others and ex-
tremely fair in your judgment. You
are a good talker, convincing and in
tellectual. In your home life you are
extremely happy, as you are patient,
considerate and kind. You are eXcep-
tionally fond of children and they
readily turn TO you, and they turn
to you not as children turn to a
parent. but as to a friend.
Well known persons born on this
date are: Benjamin F. Tracy. Secre-
tary of the Navy under Harrison;
Charles f. Browne C'Artemus Ward'o,
humorist; James P. Kimball, geologist;
Erminnie A. Smith, scientist; Harvey
Fisk, financier; Henry Morgenthau,

Carelessly. I'm living alone and
rather enjoying it,
A funny look crossed Reddy's face.

exclaimed well, how is Mrs. Jimmy
and her family?"
Mrs. Jimmy hasn't any family,
either. She is living by herself under
Farmer Browns henhouse, and she
seemed very well the last time l saw
her." replied Jimmy.
Reddy chuckled. He opened his
mouth as if to say something, but
closed it again without a word. He
chuckled again.
What is the joke?" inquired
Jimmy.

sight l saw this evening in the moon

about it now. Jimmy, for / must
