Ilegonlas are admirable plants for growing In window boxes. Thu foliage of nil begonias Is attractive, but espe cially so are the beautifully marked IcnvcH of tho Hex variety. TMo beef utenk, Glolro do I.omilno and other va rieties may bo exacted to grow well nnd to llower under tho conditions that suit tho vines already described, says the department of ngilculturc. Ferns In variety aro nvallablo for tho window box nnd may bo helected at any llorlst's to suit the tasto of the grower, but dwarf varieties nre better suited for tho room avnllnblo. Ferns may bo grown with begonias satisfac torily. Hotli requlro n tcnipernturo lower than tho nveingo living room. Coleus Is another group of plants that may be grown lu 11 window box, but they must havo sun. The lenves of these plants have a wide tiuigo of color and marking as well as of size and slinpo. They must have n warmer ut-nio-jphero th'nn tho plants already men tioned, n temperature of 55 degrees to CO degrees at night being desirable. Tho mouly bug Is ofton quite troublu somo on colons. For an upright plant growing n foot or eighteen Inches high tihpldlstrn is satisfactory.

Why do public pnrlw offer an lrro nlstlblo temptation to city councils, commissions, societies and tho llko to dlveit them from their proper use? Philadelphia has been very fortunate lu preserving her breathing spares from contamination. Put most other cities have had to fight all sorts of schemes for giving to n part of tho people what belongs to tho whole pco-1 pie. Hardly a year passes without some assault upon the Integrity of Central park, lu New Yoik. That Is tho greatest asset of lis kind the city has. Vet but for the energetic protests of public spirited newspapers and citi zens It would bo tilled by now with bulldlnga or turned over to various so cieties for special purposes. So lioston has been forced again and again to de feud the common and the I'ubllc gar den from encroachments, nnd Wash ington Is ut present exercised over the plan to erect n power houso close to the Washington mouumelit. It Is Hot u moro question of tho greed of real estate speculators. Many who honest ly think that they have the good of tho people nt heart nrpimntly irunot grasn tl-. fa t lint 1 ill.- m. t te considered in M'nw of ihe v.Jiolo peo pie and not or any part. Thus they aro neither to bo devoted to a part 1101 to be used by tho whole without such restrictions nu will protect tho Inter csts of every part. Kvcii park commissioners havo not always followed this salutary rule Thcro was ono recently In New York who believed that, becauso the parks belonged to the people, the people could do anything they ehoso with them. They could litter them with rubbish, they could trample down the grass, they could deface the trees nnil shrubbery, and nothing must bo donu to prevent them. The fallacy of this argument Is obvious. It makes each member of the public lu effect u private owner, with liberty to do what he likes with his own. it Is re;illy 11 denial of the civic spirit which con siders first the good of all. There Is great need hi most of our American cities of it better cult,!vutlon of this spirit. No Intelligent observer can havo failed to note the mipcrloilty of European elllcs In this respect. The value of open spaces Is more thuinugh ly appreciated there, nnd thu protection of them Is muie u matter of Individual concern. Philadelphia need not fear for her parks, It Is true, but In some other respects her civic M'trlt might i bo mado more active. No man does his duty to tho community lu which ho lives by merely accepting Its bene fits mid falling to cherish and protect Its rights. Philadelphia Ledger. Thoy Havo Proved o Do Diligent and Useful In Many Towns. No other movement for civic better ment has mado better use of thu ability and energy of children than has tho cleanup campaign, says tho Ametlcan City.

Congress of Mothers of Clovolnnd Plans Using of Vacant Lots. Community gardens for the coming summer Is the plan of tho Cleveland (O.) congress of mothers. It looks llko u rather sensible plan too. Tho different mothers' clubs will have charge of their respective dis tricts, getting hold of vacant hits to bo converted Into gardens, sending seeds to people who can't buy their own tind keeping the whole scheme moving ef llclently. Tho youngsters will bo Interested by gentlo competition, selling their vege tables lu the summer mid giving an exhibit in tho fall with prizes and rib bons for tho most successful.

Lessons In civic beauty, democracy, economics and personal hygluno aro all to bo fruits of theoo community ! gardens. And whether or not it Is a coinpieio success this llrst summer, It can bo n line thing If parents and children tnko hold in tho right spirit. Inspections aro usually courteously madu nnd that when the authority to mnko requests for action In cleaning uii Is given them they approach offend ers with dignity mid politeness. Children took 1111 Important part lu some 5,000 local "cleanup and paint up" campaigns last year under tho auspices of the national bureau. Tho bureau laid much emphasis on the pos sibilities of children's co-opcrutlou, and Its suggestions were variously adopted everywhere. Civic leaders lu thoso campaigns 0110 and all vouch for tho wonderful educational valuu of the effort. TO REBUILD A CITY. New Park Scheme. A now plan to mnko tho pail: more intensively useful to tho public has been put Into operation by Park Com missioner Ingersoll'of Jlrooklyn. This plan, which utilizes the sch6ol Turni uiiiilon cottages hi parks as neighbor hood hoclal centers, has proved very popular. Tho other memuers or inu park board uro manifesting consider able Interest In tho plan, which may lead to Its extension to tho other bor oughs of the city. Tho use of recreation buildings lu parks for social centers Is 11 now Idea -.11 purl: woik. It Is especially adapted j New York city, whore tho great majority of the parks are located lu neighborhoods of large homogeneous populations and not situated at the outskirts as they die In most other 1 communities. Hitherto, social center work has been cnirled on by private associations and In certain public I schools. Land For Settlors.

Ilcbulldliig of the city mid county of Itagnlt. lu tho devastated province of l:ast Prussia, has been undertaken with funds contributed by (loriunii Amurlcaus to tho Kust Prussian itellof Fuuii, Incorporated. Louis Giieuzcl. a Chicago architect, is now drawing plans and will siipervlsu tho work, It Is said. According to the plans, Itngnlt will bo rebuilt as an "American city," with streets bearing such iinnies as Now York. Chicago. Philadelphia and At lanta. The villages In tho county will bo madu as Amerlcan-llko us possible. About 100 houses have been donated for Itagnlt, It was stated, each of thorn to cost $l,'-'00. Funds forwarded to Fast Prussia already amount to $5.Y 000. At tho heudqunrters of the fund a letter has been received from Germany stating that Kmpcror William, In a message road lu tlio Prussian diet by Chancellor von llcthuiauu-Hollweg, 1 thanked all German Americans who ' contributed to tho work of rebuilding tho Fast Prussian district.

In Planning Your Plot Always Dear In Mind Whoro Cortaln Plants Will Qo ahd Tholr Rotation to Other Flowers and Othor Colors. While seeds nre gcrmhintlng nnd plants nre very small they must bo handled with the utmost enru and pre caution, for, tiny ami inslgulilcnut as the young seedling may appear, it Is extremely sensitive to changes In tem perature, too much or too little mois ture, gas lu tho room, disease and all tho things which sometimes even lar ger plants have not tho strength to re sist. I There nre a few (lowers that should be started lu tho isced pans. Ono Is salvia, or scarlet sage. It Is such a daring color that It must bo planted with exceedingly good Judgment not prominently, for It will mnko itself 'seen In whatever distance or conceal- incut it Is placed, ami not close to tho porch of a red brick house, a mlstaku which Is no frequently made, hut It should bo near blending or well con trasting colors. Salvia Is ouu of tho lust llowcrs to bloom hi tho fall, but It Is slow growing, and tho seed must bo started at once. Verbenas nru frco blooming nnd gen ' orally satisfactory, but they must bo chosen carefully with regard to colors. Avoid the scarlet and other shades of ted and ptirplo unless you know exact ly where they uro to bo put nnd nro sure that they will not clnsh with other things.
