For real enjoyment the gar- den must be considered as a work of art, not as a “chore,” and one’s plants as friends and intimates, not em- ployees”. . . Chiefest . . . of its “100 delights” is that its charm is wholly unrelated to the amount of money spent upon it. The simplest of little gardens may have more of this lovely and endearing quality of charm than the most pretentious of estates. _PROFIT IN MUNICIPAL FARM 8pringficld, 11, Made - Money After - Supporting Prisoners and Aiding Latters’ Families. ' In Springfield, I, the sum of $529.15 in cash was realized from' the ‘municipal farm in addition to the ¥eep of prisdoners and a considerable quantity of vegetables for prisoners ‘families, according to a report issued by City Prison Keeper Henry Mes- ‘ter, who had charge of the farm. Ap- proximately 400 bushels of corn were ‘raised on-the 20-acre tract near the water works. The grain was sold to e police and fire departments for ithe horses. In addition to the corn, vegetables raised, such as potatoes, onlons‘ cabbage, beans and other nrdm stuff brought $190. ' Aside from the money earned, Mes- “tter declares the experiment has worked ‘out to the great physical and moral ‘benefit of prisoners who, if it had not been for the prison farm, would have n confined all summer, or at least @ la great part of it, in the “bull pen” at . the city prison. Commissioner Roy R. " Reese, head of the department of health and public safety, is well pleased with the plan. A Common Error. 8 QOne of the most common errors, no ‘flcenhle in gardens, is overplanting {with trees of ultimate large size and spread. This evil can seldom be rem- iedied except by removal of some of the ilot and this job is too often left until some or all are out of shape, crippled . or under-developed in parts, so that several years are necessary for grad- 'ual re$umption of *hormal form and 'outline. Leave lawns as epen spaces and plant trees only as border growths ‘and then, if in after years the latter 'grow together the effect still is noi bad, often is good, and the open glade 'of Iawn is still inviolate. Garden Design. The most important matter to con sider in every garden is that of design. |Until this is settled and accepted not.a Itree or shrub should be set, and if the design be not good no planting, how- ‘ever skillfully done, can make an af 'tractive garden. There should be com- ‘plete harmony between art and utility. ‘iThe garden should be natural in the 'use of plants and not dispose the Iatter ‘as one would purely architectural ob- |jects, yet it should be a subdued nature /that predominates, for the garden can {mot look like a piece of wild natare. “©ff-the-Tray” Service. | Passengers on a Western railroad |who do not care to go to the dining ‘car now take advantage of what is 'knawn as the “off-the-tray” service at a [less cost.

Desbleds explains some of the advantages and difficulties of trans- Atlantic flying. With regard to the former, the carrying of the malils in a quarter of the time at present needed for the vgyage between America ‘and Britain would, in the author’s opinion, be of immense benefit, as he _considers that the-correspondence of a-country may be taken as a measure of its com- merce with other nations, and the ac- celerated rate of exchamge of corre- Spondence would react upon commerce and shipping. €oming to the problem of carrying|, mails across the Atlantic, Mr. Desbleds considers that existing knowledge of airplane construction and propelling machinery only allows of such flights by reducing the strength of the ma- chines employed to far below that of the airplanes now in use; consequent- ly those undertaking the passage would run grave risks. of coming to grief on the way. Some parficulars of an airplane for flying the Atlantic are given in the paper, the proposed machine having a weight by itself of about four tons, which is doubled by the addition of fuel and stores, while a crew of ten men account for another fifteenr hundredweight, — Chambers' Journal. ARCTIC -RELICS "ARE FOUND Records Left by Explorers More Than Fifty Years Ago Brought Back by Crogker Land Expedition. Records left by various explorers in the frozen North, some of them more than half a century old, brought back by Donald B. MacMillan, head of the Crocker land expedition, who recently returned, are on exhibition in the American Museum of Natural History in New York. Among the records is a silk lining of a cap worn by Dr. Elisha Kent Kane, the American explorer, left by him at Rensselaer Harbor in 1853. It is marked with a leaden bullet “0. K. There is'also a paper containing a ree- ord of Docter Kane’s life in the North, cut with a knife, owing to a scarcity of writing materials. There are also records left by Rear Admiral Peary, including a bit of an American flag, left in 1906 at the top |. of Cape Thomas Hubbard. A packet of letters left in a cache gt Cape Isabella in 1876 by Capt. Allan Young for Sir George Nare's expedi- tion was also found by MacMillan. The Nare party left its mark only 20 feet from the cache where the letters were found, but departed without discover-} ing them. » Whale Made Waves Quiet. The use of oil to calm troubled seas was illustrated in an unusual way to a skipper who recently arrived in New York from a southern port. Every mariner who has dripped oil from his plunging bows in stormy weather to smooth down invading crests knows how effective the trick is when.done properly. This particular skipper sighted a dead -whale, which at first glance seemed to be a schooner bottom up, when he was about 250 miles east of the Virginia coast. There was a stiff wind from north-northwest which kicked up-a crestéd sea, but there was no disturbance within & mile to the northwestward of the whale. The skipper said in his report to the local hydrographic office that this mile was “smooth as glass,” or “like a ballroom floor,” due to the effect of the oil ooz ing from the carcass of the whale and borne on a halfknot current setting to the northwest. The Soldier’s Burden. The load which an infantryman has t0 carry on his back weighs from 39 to 60 pounds, according to the length of the march he is about to make. Any one who has tried to march with a load of such size on his back will rend- ily understand why ten or fifteen march. The soldier's burden includes his field ration, his mess kit, canteen, first-aid packet, blankets and usually a gas mask. A Real Luxury. “Waiter,” said the diner, “it says here on the menu, ‘green bluefish.’ ” “Yes, sir. That means fresh—right from the water, sir.” “Nonsense!” saild the diner. “You know well enough they do not take blufiesh at this season.” The waiter came up and looked at the disputed item. “Oh, that, sir,” he said with an ai®, of enlightenment, “that am hothouse blneflsh. sir.”—Boston Transcript. American Beer for France. The French beer brewing industry will have to be aided by imports- of barley from America in order to be continued beyond July 1, so one is informed by the authentic Official Bul- letin. The French brewers are said to be negotiating with America for supplies. Arrangements are also be- ing made to ship beer to France from the United States.
