Two Thousand Birds Killed
Chicago Receive Burial
Rites.
CHICAGO, Aug. 29. "Wc arc
rery sorry, O God, that all the poor
birds had to die, for wo would llko
to have them stay around in the
trees; but we needed rain, and wo
cucss you know what Is best, and wo
hope that you will take them all to
leaven."
Two thousand birds were killed by
tho 'recent terrific storms In the gro
Tes near West Sixtieth and Ada
stroets, and all tho children in the
neighborhood paid their last re
epects, including tho foregoing pray
er, to their little friends that would
Blng no more. With childish rites
And genuine solemnity the little
leathery bodies were laid at rest.
About tho wide grave tho children
stood with bowed heads, sobbing as
they strewed flowers.
Hospitals For Trees.
"The trees of Paris will delight you,'
said the traveled man who was seeing
off his friend. "Every boulevard anri
venue has Its two lines of trees. Shel
tered from the hot sun. you walk under
them In a cool green dust.' Thnt hot
and dusty city doesn't easily keep its
trees vigorous and froeh. It must have
tree hospitals great nurseries where,
svlth all sorts of liquid parasite killers
and all sorts of stimulating fertilisers,
the "run down urban trees are built u;
again. Continually in Paris you see
faded trees being taken up and fresh
trees being put down and fresh and
faded trees alike in those ambulances
which we call transplanters drive coi
tlnually up and down tho sunny
streets."
Tho Fight For Niagara Falls.
The American Civic association is
'Still fighting for the preservation of
Niagara falls and the natural sur
roundings, for the abolition of the
giant billboards that desecrate the land
immediately contiguous and o prevent
signs being painted upon or fastened
to rocks, trees, etc.. on every hand. Ii
this noble woik they should hnve tho
moral and financial support of everj
person who believes In the presefa
tlon of natural beauty.
A Business Builder.
Advertising Is today the mightiest
factor In the business world. It is an
evolution of modern industrial compe
tition. It is a business builder, with
a potency that goes beyond human de
sire. It is something more than a
"drummer" knocking at tho door of
tho consumer something more than
mere salesmanship on paper. It Is a
positive, creativo force in business. It
booms the town. It builds factories,
skyscrapers and railroads. It makes
two blades of grass grow in tho busi
ness world where only ono grew be
fore. It multiplies human wants and
Intensifies human desires. It furnishes
excuse to timorous and hesitating ones
for possessing the things which under
former conditions they could easily get
along without. The human mind is so
constructed that It Is appreciably af
fected by repetition, and, after all, ad
vertlslng is only repetition.
New Way to Get Rid of Dandelions.
The unique spectacle of a battle be
tween a hobo and the dandelion was
recently presented In Iown Falls, la.,
as a result of Mayor Bryson's crusade
against the weed pest. In hope of rid
ding the parks and streets of the dan
dollons, he decreed thnt till bums 01
hoboes who were under fine should
work out thoso fines under pollco guard
by digging dandelion roots. As a re
suit there hns been n splendid harves'
of tho weeds.
The Sand Garden.
tA plea for playgrounds for children.
"Wo snt on alley doorstops In summer's
dreadful heat
We had no place at all to play but In thv
dirty street.
The sun upon tho stones was hot; oui
little feet wcro bare.
We had no shady garden spot nor am
pure sweot air.
Cut now wo'ro very happy and play In
piles of sand
And run about and laugh and shout and
swing to beat tho band.
W play at Jaclcy Horner and can sven
climb a tree ;
Since- the city imada a corner of the pub
tic garden free.
So we plead with every city In all this
great big land
To tako s. Utile pity and a little pile of
and
And make a shady corner free In public
gardens gay,
"Where little children, such as ive, ean
have a itaco to n,lay

lican. THE HUMBLE POTATO.
Tho potato Is not a beautiful plant,
fcut, like many small newspapers, It
fills a long felt wat and has como to
stay. It is 'not recommended in land
scape gardening, but to a hungry man
is more enchanting than lilies and
roses. Like the hen, tho potato Is
bumble and lowly, but It Is nevcrtho
toss a friend of man. Italso 'potatoes
even if you have to hide them behind
tho barn. Roasted, boiled, mashed or
fried they appeal alike to millionaire
ami pauper. The Irishman showed
that ho know a good thliig whon bt
Lad the potato named for bim.
ALASKAN DISH
Moose Nose a Fine Nutri
tious Dish For
Hunters.
.SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 27. The
nose of a big Alaska bull moose
weighs eight pounds, and when boil
ed twenty-four hours Into gelatine
makes tho choicest and most nutri
tious artlele of diet to be had in all
Alaska. At least this is what Web
ster Brown of this city, who has
hunted and surveyed all over Alaska,
says, and he ought to know.
"Alaska moose," said Brown, "is
the best game food to be had in
Alaska, and those who subsist for a
large part of the time on the gamo
of the country are careful when they
kill a big moose or any other kind
of big game to have the means at
hand to tako care of tho carcass and
save it.
"I remember not many months ago
in tho White river country, when our
food ran short and we killed a big
bull moose and made away in the
next few days with the most of his
good points. We were traveling over
a rolling, partly open country In the
direction of the Tanana valley, and
every particle of fresh meat counted.
When tho carcass was all butchered
up and packed away, I boiled tho big,
gristly, fat nose of the moose about
twenty-four hours, after spending
five hours scratching tho hair off the
hide and picking it out 'by the roots.
"Well, sir, I boiled that moose's
noso until it made the finest sort of
gelatine you ever saw, and absolutely
clear and of a delicious sweet and
nutty flavor. It made a meal for the
whole outfit for every day for three
days, and in my judgment the dish
contained more lasting and nourish
ing qualities than anything that we
had."

FRAME YOUR LAWN LIKE A PIC
TURE. The National Council of Horticulture
Is doing great work when it is not pat
ronizing amateurs. Tho very way in
which it prints thnt dread word "ama
teur" Is enough to mnke the average
would be gardener shrivel up to tho
size of one of tho seeds ho is planting.
There is nothing like assuming a su
perior attitude, especially when one
has a national something or other be
hind him.
For one thing tho National Council
of Horticulture ndvlses that shrubs bo
used to frame the lawn, Just as a
border Is placed on a rug or a frame on
a picture. This sounds a little bit
mechanical, but can be handled in a
manner thnt does not make it appear
so. Tho Idea Is to avoid any stiff or
straight line effects, and If this is dono
a "frame" of shrubs may be made
most effective.
One thing advocated by the National
Council may be even more unreserved
ly supported. That is to match shrubs
both for foliage and flowers in such a
way that a patchy effect is avoided.
Colors should not be placed together
that clash. Sizo should also be con
sidered in making tho most effective
grouping.
Individual taste should be used in
these matters. No general rule can bo
laid down. Tho same sort of taste is
required here as in the choosing of
wall papers, rugs, colors for tho house
and a thousand and ono thiugs in life.
The things to nvoid are inharmonies,
artificialities, geometrical figures, ob
trusive regularity and stiff and un
natural effects. Do not be too rigid
and exact even in tho matter of a
"frame" for tho lawn.
Do not spray while trees and shrubs
are in bloom. To do so not only inter
feres with the bees, but also prevents
the full fertilization of the blossoms.
Give the bees a chance, and they will
help themselves and tho trees at the
same time.
A Chinese gardener near Fresno
claims to have produced an odorless
onion. Ills statement is borne out by
many of his white neighbors who
claim to have inspected the new mar
vel. The odorless onion should become
quite n social lion.
Despite all the stories of fabulous
fortunes made at gaidening. a great
many people do get a comfortable liv
ing, while others extract enjoyment
and save money by raising their own
vegetables. The sudden riches fake la
written about all callings. '
Grapes do well on high, stony laud

The only three essentials to success
in caring for garden, lawn or hind
scape nte good taste, common sense
and hard work.
By planting vines and, shrubs about
tho walls of the vegetable garden It
can be made a thing of beauty. Avoid
hard, straight lines. The giaceful
curves of nature are Infinitely more
charming than the precise, mechanical,
severe regularity affected by most am
ateurs as well as by many profession
als True gardening canuut be made
mechanical any more than true poetry
or true music.

One of the crimes not yet recognized
on the statute books Is that of per
mitting the face of nature to become
disfigured when a little care and at
tention would have made it a "thing
of ornament and use. An original wil
derness rnny have a certain beauty,
but a wilderness that has been allowed
to grow up around a human habitation
Is an abomination in the sight of the
Lord and everybody else.
BEAUTIFY THE VILLAGE.
Tho American of healthy and whole
somo Instincts has grown surfeited
with large cities. Ho has corao to seo
that the small village has infinite ad
vantages as a place of summer resi
dence at least over the big town. With
nu Ideal village life, such as would bo
easy to create, tho Immeasurable supe
riority of the llttlo town as a plaee of
permanent abodo would bo apparunt
Tho greatest need of the, average
American vIHro Is a plain, old fash
ioned housoclcanlng. It should have its
race washed. Tho eyesores, dilapidated
outhouses and a thousand and ono
nuisances of the sort should be got rid
of. The streets should bo kept clean.
Orcr and above all thcrp should be
mori artistic effects in the way of
lawns, parks and shaded streets.
With a movement of tills sort well
under way the migration of city dwell
ers into small village suburbs will not
only, be noc'elerated, but there will bo a
tendency 'for farmers to group them
selves in the snmo'way. In many coun
tries tho farms aroso arranged that
several housos can bo built in a group.
This facilitates social llfo and adds to
tho conveniences.
Tho perfecting of transportation fa
cilities makes tho movement from the
cities Intonthe little towns the more
certain. All of thU renders still moro
Important tho beautifying of the vll-lafie.
God created the rivers and the hills,
tho grass and the trees, tho fruits and
the flowers, but plnced them at the dis
posal of man, who must make the most
of their varied and infinite possibili
ties. Man himself thus becomes a sort
of creator. The gardener can make a
world of his own, shaping fresh com
binations of beauty, bringing out novel
qualities In plant, flower and fruit or
reshaping them, as in tho case of Lu
ther Burbank, into something wholly
new.
For covering verandas and arbors
mnny persons In this country are now
raising the Japanese kudzu vine. It is
hardy and grows from forty to sixty
feet in a slnglo season. The leaf is
largo and the flowers pretty. The vino
is adapted to the southern states, as in
the north it dies down in winter and
does not flower so well. The large,
flpshy root grows Into most curious
shnpos. In addition to being unparal
leled for ornament and shade, the kud
zu Tine has nu inner bark of tough
fiber which is manufactured into fine,
strong cloth and n root that yields ex
cellent starch.
He who creates a beautiful garden,
lawn, park or landscape Is a benefac
tor to his race. All who behold his
work nro gladdened, blessed and made
better. Others arc brought to emulate
him, and they In turn create things
of beauty to gladdeu other people and
to create still more emulators. Thus
his Influence for good, like the wave
on the lake, goes out and out forever.
It cannot be measured or limited in
either time or plnce. It increases with
a geometric ratio. It is impersonal,
and the Impersonal benefactor is tho
highest. The llfo of nun who creates ft
garden gives out a sweet perfume like
iui' creation. . . '
