Henutlfylng Cities.
The city of Washington is Justly
known as one of the most beautiful
cities in America on account ot the
seventy thousand trees that adorn its
streets; and there ara many New Eng
land towns fr.med for their extract
ive appearance, due largely to the
beautiful trees planted by village Im
provement societies. It Is said that
Parl3 has S0.CCG0 shade trees, and
that $00,000 are expended annually
in caring for them and planting addi
tional ones. Moth Washington and
Paris have nurseries In which seed
lings or desirable species are propa
gated" with special referenco to the
roqntrements of street planting. Poor
ly developed plants or sapTlngs are
discarded, anJ only the straight,
thrifty ones are selected for use on
the city streets.
In street planting care should be
Nerclsed t select species which,
len fully grcvn, will be of a slzo'
liable to tho width ot tho street.
d In making a choice only such,
.ould bo selected as aro best adapt- (
od to the peculiar conditions which;

in making a choice the first thing
to bo considered 4s tho width of tho
etrcet; also the width or the slde
wa4k or nearness of tho houses.
Where the house stands near tho
eurb, trees with a tap rot are prefer
able. I

which are quite common throughout
New . England nd the middle states.

mixed with thymol, glycerine, etc.,
makes u wnli that is ho.uutt to cure.
Old. obiitiunte casestit is true citn
not lie eureil in a few ilnys, but there
is absolutely no sufferer from eo
xotmi who ever used this simple wash
nut! did not find immediately that
wonderful smoothing, calm, cool sensa
tion that comes when the itch is tak
en away. Instantly upon applying n
few drops of the wash the remedy
'-.tkes effect, the itck is allayed.
There is tit need of experiment the
patient knows at once.
Instead of trying to, compound tie
oil of wintergrecn, thymol, glycerine,
etc.. in the riirlit proportions our
selves we nre using prescription
which is universally found the most
effective. It is known ns the D. 1).
