SCHOOL GROUNDS How the Girls and Boys Would Arrange Them. GREAT HINTS FROM LITTLE FOLKS Suggestions by the Children as to the Host Way to Make Tliem Attractive. Lactka V. Hawkex. I propose llrst, for the front yard, that there be a row of trees, about three; n cement walk In the center; on tho left side, flowers of all sorts, and the gardener to keep them nice; on the right, flowers, but have the girls of the brick building (in use now) take care of them. Detwcen tho Methodist church and the brick building, ivy planted would make it very pretty. It would bo rather dark between thero for other plants, and I don't think many other things would grow there. Where there is not nny flow ers I think it ought to have gravel. Thero should bo troughs, so when they are wntered, or It rains, the ground will not be too wet for the flowers or be soggy. There ought to be grass to the sidewalks. For the side towaras the old brick school there ought to be a place for croquet grounds for the girls, and for the boys, on the other side, to play catch and other boyish games. The yard facing Court Street can have a path in the center; on each side grass lawns or gravel. By the doors of the building there should be two pots of flowers. The back yard should also have some trees. Dorothy Bauman. On each side under the windows or any other place close to the walk, morning-glories, nasturtiums or any other climbing plant or flowers, could be planted. In the middle of the yard a bed, about three feet by Ave and one half feet, could be made, or raised a little, about one foot, and in the upper left hand corner, facing the east, a space about one and one half feet square, with a bed or field of blue asters or any other blue flowers with seeds of white candy tuft planted so that when they are in full bloom there will be about forty-six flowers, which will repre sent the stars in our national flag. Then have in tho space left, first, a row of red geraniums, and then a row of white candy-tuft, and so on, till the thirteen stripes have been made, and when in full bloom the whole will represent the Ameri can flag. Then on the front lawn, facing west on each side of the path, a cir cular bed, it does not matter how large or small with a border of nice, green grass, and in the center the letters, "H. H. S.," in red or white geraniums. The rest of the lawn can be left, a gravel place for play-grounds, or grass-seed planted, making a beauti ful lawn. Along the path and side walks, elm or maple trees could be transplanted. Roy Leindach. Generally school grounds are decorated by flowers and lawns, but in the case of the new high school building, it would be better if this were not done, as It would leave no room for a playground. True it is, that in the new building there is a gymnasium, but pupils need out door as well as indoor exercise, as the outdoor air is naturally purer. If the grounds were laid out in lawns and flower beds, the pupils would run over them and they would soon be trampled down, while if they were leveled off and covered with gravel and rolled smooth with a heavy iron roller, so that it would not be muddy, it would make a fine play ground; or if the ground was already high enough, It could be dug out about a foot, and filled in with crushed stone and fine lime stone rolled smooth on top. Leading from each of the entrances, to the street, could be concrete sidewalks like those in front of Dodge's and Katz's stores. On each side of the walks could be a few trees, which would In time furnish shade and beautify the grounds. Cheap Trolley Fares. Two cents Is the standard price for an ordinary trolley fare In Italy, France, and Germany, and four cents Is the London standard. Tho distances on the continent are not so great, but the average rlCe is no shorter than that taken on the New York trolleys. The cars are not so large, but they are clean, and people are not allowed to stand up In the aisles or between seats. Each car has a huge vestibule for any overflow of passengers, and the standee must stand there or get off the car. Milan has tho best lins, and it Is operated by the Bocleta Ellet trlca Edison, which sounds like home with a few trimmings. Doing Time. "I haven't seen your husband at church recently, Mrs. Bloggs," said a pastor to one of bis flock. "What Is be doing?" "Six months!" was the laconic reply. j THE HIGHER LIFE S S4J Cmm i Thoarfd Iron Pn ud Ptfe VI tt AB Sectt. Fighting onr Foes. Without the girdle of truth he will fall and fail In the conflict The foes of life are too fierce for any life to win the victory over them if that life is founded in falsehood or un glrdled with truth. Rev. F. Willis, Reformed. The Interest of Eternal Life. God has planted wlthl.'i us the In stint of eternal life. Indeed. It Is more than an instinct. The Inner man of which wo are speaking was made to endure. His desires and capacities are not compassed ,by time. Why, then, do wo cruch and throttle him? Rev. E. M. Luke, Unitarian. Pleasing the Lord. The Lord cares more for our grati tude than for our gold. He asks material gifts from us only that we may thus be helped to manifest the spirit of thanksgiving. Not all the treasures that wo could pour bofore the alter of God would Honor Him or please Him so much. Rev. M. Luke, Unitarian.' The HurrjiiiR Kvil. Tho frequency of hurry disquali fies men for sane Judgment. 'Vet, how wo hurry" to express our opinion.even before wo know the fact! With what haste wo speak the word of condemnation, and sometimes even tho word of praise, and both as the result of imperfect knowledge. Rev. F. Russell, Methodist Episcopal. Cause of our Trouble. "Violation of law sin has caus ed all man's trouble and sorrow, sickness and death. There Is a remedy for it all. There is hapni ness for all here in this life. He who obeys the laws of his country, enjoys the largest liberty. He Who obeys the law of God will enjoy the greatest liberty and consequent hap piness In this and the next world. Rev. Ralph Tompkins, Episcopal. Cannot bo Purchased. Man sells; God gives. Pride likes to pay and patronize, when what God asks Is penitence and humility. There are other things not to be had for money beside godliness and man liness. Good health, good tasS.', common sense, scholarship, life. "Wherefore (says the proverb) is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?" Friendship, love, es teem these are not bought and sold. Where Xohle Minds are Found. In all ages the noblest minds have been those who have penetrated be neath the surface of things and dis cerned the great spiritual realities. We are told that Moses endured as seeing htm who Is invisible. Tho mo3t conspicuous thing about Jesus was his consciousness of tho unseen. He lived in the atmosphere of spiri tual reality. He . seemed to know God on intimate terms, and to live in heaven as much as he lived upon earth. Rev. F. Willis, Reformed. Laws of God. God has his laws they are and must be Inexorable. Man has bro ken himslf against these laws he cannot break the laws, but he has broken himself. I throw myself over a great precipice on the rocks a thousand feet below I do not break the rocks which have been thero from the morning of creation I broak myself. Now, God is not to be blamed for my rash and foolish act, nor Is he to be held responsible, for the suffering which results. Rev.-Edw. Smith, Methodist. What tho AVorld Offers. Rule tho world and you may get the deepest delight out of It, you can make it help you to bo wiser, gentler, nobler, more gracious, more Christ-like, more full of God. But let it once get the. bit in its teeth, and you are gone. Many a man says, "It is mine this money I have got; this social or this political position I hove won; this cup of pleasure which I lift to my Hps at will;" when orly the truth would be spoken If one and all of these should riso up and say, "Thou fool thou art mine!" Christian Herald. Seeking for Truth. Welcome.interrogation point! If a reverential spirit accompanied in quiry nothing is too sacred to enter tain the thoughtful question of an honest heart. In religion and phil osophy, in science and ethics, lot the Interrogation point be granted the right of way. 'Reach hither thy finger and behold my nands; and reach hither thy hand and thrust it Into my side, and be not faithless but believing." Let the bold highlandor whose abode Is in the uplandd of truth never flinch before the Coilan togle combat. Rev. R. Townsend, Methodist. In touch with the Creator. One believes, not so much In the unknown as in the known. The worship of an unknown God cannot possibly stimulate faith. A religion that deals wholly, or mainly, with the supernatural cannot hope to mold and inspire men. The God of faith must bo a God working through nature, through humanity; must he a total experience, inner and outer; must bo the life of life and not merely a flgmout of the Imagination. To say that it Is the unknowable, the uncertain, that, promotes faith Is to rob faith of its very content By so doing you substitute dreams for realities. Are all who believe not In this God unfaithful? Of course not Rev. V, Willis, Reformed. HAD POI80N IN HI8 BEARD. As He Ate It Felt on His Food and He Fell Over Unconscious. Philadelphia. W. C. Deutz of 269 South Fourth street until recently was the proud possessor of a beard which was the admiration and the envy ot a large circle of fellow employees of the Mulford Chemical Company. Now tt is no more. While Mr. Deutz was weighing bich loride of mercury his beard came in contact with the deadly poison and many grains wer secreted In it Short ly atterward the whistle for the din ner hour blew and, being more hungry than discreet, the chemist went to lunch without preparing the facial ap pendage for the event, as was usually his wont. ' At the table as Deutz ate the whisk ers kept time to the masticating pro cess, showering little grains of bi chloride upon each particle of food. Soon afterward companions wer hor rified to see him tumblo to the floor, his body doubled up in agony. Anti dotes were given him, but of no avail, and the unconscious man was hurried to tho hospital. There the stomach pump was used and the poison drawn from his system. Deutz rallied quick ly from the experience to face tho fact that as long as tho beard remain ed with the grains of poison secreted In It Uiere was a possibility that he might again eat its contents. So he lias no whiskers now. WANTED HIS PIG. Knew Not that Salome, the Python, Had Swallowed It. Now York City. Clyde W. Powers, n dealer In animals, received a pec cary from Brazil Several days ago, and not knowing what elso to do with it, presented It to the Bronx Zoo. The pig was placed In a cage with another of the same sort. They got along fair ly well till there was a disagreement over food. The newcomer was so badly iiurt that he had to bo shot. The body was then given to "Salome," the twenty four foot python, for breakfast. That afternoon Mr. Power called up Cura tor Ditmars on the telephone and said he wanted his pig back, as he had just received a letter from a friend In Brazil, telling him that it had a very interstlng history. Mr. Ditmars said he was sorry, but that Mr. Powers had spoken too late, as the pig was then twelve feet amidships of "Sa lome." A Prince Monk. Cologne, Germany. A little over a year ago Prince Lowcnsteln-Werth-eim-Rochefort, a great German noble, who was one of the founders and lead ers of the Centre party in tho Reich stag, renounced his estates, position and dignities and, at the age of seventy-three, became a novice In the Do minican Order. Last week he was or dained priest by Cardinal Fischer, Archbishop of Cologne. The Prince, supported by his eldest son, wore his robes of state, with the collar of the Golden Fleece, the Grand Cross of the Order of Malta and that of the Order of Christ These glittering badges of his knighthood and worldly rank he laid upon tlie altar, receiving In ex change the white tunic and black man tle of a Dominican. She Raised Forty Children. Gainesville, aG. "Aunty Jane" Mc Crary, the mother of Mountain View Hotel, Uus McCrary, died a few days ago', having lived more years than she could eaxctly remember. She "va-j kept out of tho grave for four day3 after death that the church and ledse ceremonies might be observed over her remains. In a home-made buggy, with a lean, gray "Jenny" attached to the crude vehicle, she was a familiar figure on the streets here when she came to town with produce. She raised more than forty children about a dozen ot her own, and, strange for a woman of her race, more than two dozen adopted colored children. OLDEST MAN IN THE WORLD. Jose Guadalupe of Jalisco, Mex., Is in Good Shape at 139' Years. Mexico City. Jose Guadalupe, Al calde of Jalostitlan, State of Jalisco, is said to be the oldest man in the world. The record of his birth, as contained In the archives of the parish church, shows that he was born In 1770, so that he is now 139 years old. Ho is in good physical condition and seems good for several mon rears of Ufa. Love's Laws. He loves best whose love lasts. There's no fool like a bald fool. One good kiss deserves another. Kisses speak louder than words. Proposals make cowards of uc all. Tho woman who deliberates is won. Where there's a will there's a wedding. A fool and his money are soon married. A little debutante is a dangerous thing. Be sure you're right, then lose your head. 'Tls love that makes the man come 'round, A ring on the hand is worth two at the door. The longest way 'round Is the sweetest way home. People who live In a glass house shouldn't hold hands. Carolyn Wells, In Hampton's Broadway Magazine. A Use for the Dish Mop. The best thing to clean a gas or gasoline stovo Is a string dlih-mop. It Is etoetira and batm your lasers and finger nails. BRAIDS FOR STYLISH GOWNS Multifarious Uses of the Trimming Now In Demand. Manifold are the uses of liraldlug this season, and Indeed there Is 'noth ing richer, more refined and elegant than the way the different varieties of braid are employed. The black dresses of chiffon broadcloth and, in fact of all kinds of black woolen goods and also velvets are braided lavishly, gen erally with silk soutache. Some of this is heavier than the rest, so that the heavy lines are laid along the In ner part of the trimming or braided design, while the finer sort Is laid out side. Sometimes both weights are placed flat on the material, while In others it is set on edge. I saw a black chiffon cloth yesterdny with a deslgu nu inch and a half wide around the skirt and down the left side .from this bust line to the foot. This was In a clover pattern, the peJnls outlined by braid set on edge, while n row lay flat on the outside of this, and at tlw very edge two lines of the braid wern laid flat. A richer and more refined trimming could not lie made. In some other designs wider braids arc put in the center, while the fine soutache is nlmost always employed to ndd to Its beauty. A little bunch of soutache braid In your hand looks Insignificant, but when it Is neatly added to the cdse of n gnrment it becomes a thing of beauty. As to other varieties of really beautiful braids. It would be profitless to even try to mention the thousandth part, there are so many, but 1 can say tlint braid Is the most fashionable as well as effective of trimmings, buttons next. Many stylish gowns now have n sash made of the material wrought In some design nil over, and tills bangs quite to the foot of the skirt. Pretty capes are also Keen with long stole ends, the whole surface being braided In some set de sign or else in a vermicelli pattern. This last Is n favorite design for most of those who make their own gar ments, as one need not follow a pat tern, but just turn it as it happens. And it Is handsome. After all, It must be the wearer that makes tho hat beautiful instead of the hat making the woman so, for yester day I saw a woman in a hat so awful that I would be afraid to put It on a horse in the heat of summer. He would surely bolt and do all the dam age he could, and yet the wearer looked really lovely In it. The hat wos high In the crown, and It would bo difficult to say where the crown ceased and the brim began. The brim was bell shaped nnd faced with quill ings of pale pink tulle. The hat itself was of coarse black straw. A twist of black velvet ribbon went around the crown, passing plain across the front. There were velvet strings tied under the round chin. On the outside of the hat nnd flattened down over the ears were two white roses with buds and green leaves. These roses were not the big and rich satin nrtiflcial flowers of today, but were Just white muslin blossoms, such ns our remote ancestors wore, common little things so palpably artificial that one really felt like smiling. But the whole hat, drooping down so closely nround the face and bend, with Its cheap looking A MODEL rniNCESS GOWN. roses, was so odd that it was beauti ful as a frame for the demure dark face of the black eyed saleslady. The princess shape is elegant, and one finds It far oftener than the em pire short waist, although that Is by no means out of style. In ono fashionable shop I saw a model gown, ono which can be de veloped for a number of purposes. This was a mourning dress for home wear, but by using any of the season able goods in color it would bo as handsome. This was made of black silk crepon, a soft and beautiful ma terial with marvelous draping quali ties. Thero was a wide band of crape, which wound about from tho left side seam to the foot of tho back of the skirt Across the bust was a gulmpo of crapo and sleeves of the same. But tons were set at Intervals along tho band and at tho front of the waist Tho draping was very deftly done, Just a few broken lines. When this design Is carried out In colored goods tho band may bo simply of a wide castle braid, with colors or all black. OLIVH HARPER. ''"''"iwiiiilliilttiliiiiiyiljljliflll ALCOHOL 3 PER CENT.
