Improving The Lawn ERADICATION OF WEEDS. Waohlngton. June ll.-While weed enemies of the lawn are troublesome throughout the growing season, they are most particularly so from the lat ter part of June until frost. During" this period crab-grass ls by far the worst weed present, says the U. S. department o fagriculture's laws spec ialists. There ts no really satisfac tory method of checking its growth, and the only treatment to be recom mended ls to cut or pull the plants before they have formed Urge mata. This/ ls a very tedious and expensive practice, but where a good lawn la Involved the resulta Justify the ex pense. Rational fertilizing and care ful watering during the summer help to Overcome the effect of weeds. Chem ical aprays or treatments have proven to be of very little assistance. Much difficulty Is experienced In cutting crab-grass with the ordinary mower ' on account of Ito semlprostrate char' acter. This difficultly can be over come to a certain extent if a rake is used In conjunction with the mower By menns of the rake the branches ot the grass may be lifted so that they can be clipped reasonably close. It ls almost Impossible, however, to cut crab-grass sufficiently close tc prevent the formation ot seed. There are many other weeds that are troublesome in the lawn not only in the spring but' also in tbe summer and autumn. Among the most impor tant ones are dandelion, plantain, chick wood, oxeye daisy, and yarrow. While chemical sprays are more ef fective In the eradtcUon of these weeds than, in the case of crab-grass, the best method of - preventing their de velopment ts to remove them with a spud or similar implement. Top Dressing. The weed problem can perhaps best be solved by makin/ the conditions as favorable os possible for the lawn grasses and to maintain a strict watch at all times to check the growth of ] the troublesome weeds at the begin nings. At the end ot tbe growing season before the severe weather of winter arrives the lawn should be giv en a good top-dressing of well-rotted barnyard manure. If the manure ls not well rotted, lt ls likely to intnj duce sn abundance of ' weed seeS which will ultimately cause considera ble trouble. Topdressing not only adds fertility to the soil, but gives the grass ' protection during the se vere weather of winter and the freez ing and thawing of early spring.

Chk^o A valuable business asset is command of oue or more foreign languages. Busi ness requires the personal supervision, the personal in terview with the foreign rep resentative who realizes the value of personal contact. To have command of French, Spanish or Ger man assists a young man or woman to progress with the firm. Dentistry, law, medicine und other like professions are slow and arduous because the student is rarely equipped to read or understand the phrasings of higher and foreign authorities, whose words are needful for study. Hence, much valuable time is lost and the student makes slow progress. Foreigners arrive in this country, associate with Americans, attend night schools and devote their minds to a study of our language. Japa nese young men in particular seek situations as butlers, waiters and general utility in order to be in coutaet with the language. I have met graduates of colleges of Japan, men of high birth, priests and soldiers, merchants and college students, engineers and theological students who have acquired the difficult American tongue. For intelligent young men and women there are opportunities as inter preters, stenographers, proof readers, copy holders, governesses', teachers, chaperons, professional men and in many other vocations. Notably, the Spanish possessions and Mexican commercial, profes sional and mining interests are demanding assistance from students of Spanish. The first practical interest dates from the Cuban and Spanish war, when Americans flocked to Cuba and the Philippines. Clerical and professional men and women eagerly sought language schools and by con centration and application they soon acquired a certain knowledge, which was developed later when they settled in their new homes. To train the mind in a study of languages is fine discipline. The concentration esquired through this means ia valuable in many ways, for it is the mind that develops the successful man. In one's spare momenta a language may be learned by means of a study at home through excellent books for this purpose, the phonograph, or at night school. Contact and study with natives is preferable, but many men learn as they can. fl Benefits of Sleeping in the Open Air By Emt? W. Wood* Spnajaeld, Ma*. We read much about the healthfulness of sleeping out, but I have not read any explanation as to why it is more healthful to sleep out. other than the stereotyped advice that "fresh air is good for us." I therefore venture to suggest that the reason of the bene ficial result is that the more dense the air the less action is required of the lungs to sustain normal animation. Inside the house it may require as many as half a dozen inflations to secure the same amount of oxygen that would be secured by one inflation of the lunga in the denser air. Therefore it seeme reasonable to conclude *raat the dungs become quieter and the whole physical system also becomes quieter and the whole man, lungs, brain and all, goes more soundly to sleep in the denser out aide air. When the weather ia cold enough to require fire for comfort, the air in all ordinary houses and rooms is leas moist and vital than the cold, dense air outside, and as a consequence when one enters such a place thc action of the respiratory organs becomes more laborious, so much so in extreme cases as to manifest itself to us and we say the room is stuffy. A health department bulletin published during extreme cold weather advised : "Don't stay in a stuffy room any longer than you need to get out." Stuffiness is manifested through resistance to breathing and in no other way. The degree of stuffy unwholesomeness is plainly indicated by the degree of breathing relief felt when stepping from such a room or house ont into the open air if it is not sufficiently stuffy to attract our attention while inside. ' " ' < Again, outside, in cold weather, sufficient oxy?w ia contained in so' ?mall a quantity of air that one cnn breathe as nature intended, through one's nostrils, and this explains the rapid recovery from bronchial trouble. Other things noticeable in those who sleep out are less snoring and fewer stories of horrid dreams. They sleep. fl 1 School for Training Girls for Wives Dy H. O. JOHNSON. Colutabw. Oak? ?J A Washington preacher advocates the establishment of a school for training ? wives. The best school for a girt to become a good wife j is a good home, with s good mother. The great trouble is, there are so many mothers who dont care about training their daugh ters for housekeeping. They want to make ladies of them, and have them sit in the parlor crocheting, playing the piano am: reading the society novels. '1 f J Now the influence of a good mother is such that when the time cornea for a daughter to make her own home she will cook all right and be able to Attend to all the details of her ' onie. It is the indifferent and foolish mothers who make poor housekeepers of their girls and bring upon them matrimonial hazards. There is,u wonderful preservative in the spirit of a home, and it has laved from misfortune and ruin many a boy and girl. Wb'.'re these influences are lacking, didactic teaching in a training j. school wil| be beneficial, but there will be nothing that will take the place of a sensible mother. Lucky, indeed, is the girl who bas one. fl Influence of Idleness j Upon Man's Character I By J. P. M'ARTHUR, Pfafoagb. Pa. No matter what one's sta tion in life may be? if he ia habitually idle from choice, lila character in every direc tion undergoes disintegra tion. If he be dependent on daily toil as a means af rapport, he is likely to become a crimina! and prey on his fellow-men. If ! he be able to live without work, he will, in all probability, become morally ff.Me or dangerous. Idleness ia far moro potent fat ita influence upon character than isl , either earlier training or environment. The first a man who works , may rise above; to the second he may be superior. American character is derived from ancestors who were so busy with hands and brains building I a great nation that few of the corrupting and enfeebling vices of tba old world idle class?e found lodgment here. As a cons?quence, our forefathers were a sturdy race of man and women. They may have beeb narrow and puritanical, bat they worked to achieve for us a country rich in resources and in safety. If idleness follows wealth it win be transmitted rapidly to those who aro not wealthy, and sensuous ease 4r vicious crime will aap tba Ufa of the American nation.
