All dwellings of the present day are obtrusive to as great an extent as those of any age since man first builded. but we need not add to their conspicuous ness by inharmonious colors in paints and stains. Nature gives us soft col ors and tints, and these we should strive to imitate In the exterior of all buildings. During the long, cloudless days of summer nothing in local landscapes is more offensive or harsher to the eyes than glaring white. Softened or warm ed into creamy white the "glare" dis appears and a softness is manifested In Its stead. Pure yellow is equally harshand should be toned down to buff or a straw color. Greens are warmed by the addition of red, and so are stones and slates. Where moun tains. hills, plains, rocks, tree trunks. weathered lumber and a host of natu ral examples may be seen on all sides it should not prove a serious task to choose a shade that harmoniously blends with immediate natural sur roundings. Perhaps some captious critic will say that sky blue Is natural and, from the, writer's standpoint, a fitting color for exterior decoration. For obvious reasons such a course in coloring is not advised or even suggested. any more than that we should-seek to imi tate the blackness of a thundercloud or the bronze of the setting sun. Such colors and shacles will do for neckties or hair ribbons, but who wishes a coat of bronze or trousers of sky blue? ROSES NEED REST. Bushes Should Be Allowed to Do With out Water Several Months. Rosebushes that are not now pro ducing blossoms or did not have blooms last seasol should be allowed to rest by neglectig to water them for three months. - By the end of this period they will have become nearly dormant, the small and useless wood may have wilted somewhat, and some leaw iag have turned yellow and dropped. Happy the garden owners whose rosebushes have so rusted. for he shall inherit a crop of blossoms In the latter months of the year that will cause his heart to rejoice. Before wa tering and starting tem into active growth cut out all small. weak growth. leaving but a few heavy canes. and cut most of the heads off from these. When they have been well started into active growth water often and heavily and also fertilize heavily. Keep the soil well worked up, not deeply. but frequently. That you will then have fne roses In abundance you may rest assured. A little close observa tion of just what you do this year. coupled with equal study of how the bushes thrive and produce, will .profit you much In the handlIng of your roses in years to come. TREE PLANTING IN NORWAY. Mountains to Be Covered With Forests - as In Olden Times. The coast land of western Norway is almost devoid of forests except where protection is afforded from the sea winds. The bulk of the forests, con isting of pine, birch and spruce, are found further in the interior at the heads of the fords and In the valleys. The Bergen Tree Planting society was founded In 1900 to rehabilitate the rap Idly dwindling forests and maintain additions made from time to time witb the society's slender means. The so cety has undertaken a monstrous task. one that will require many years and large expenditures of money and labor. as It proposes to cover the mountain sides and the untillable areas of west ern Norway with forests as they were centuries ago. Since the society started thirteen years ago 36.606.000 young trees have been produced. of which more than 2.000.000 were planted on 10.000 acres within the borders of the two Bergen hus counties. The annual report shows that there are no* 144 tree planting so cieties in these counties. which last year planted 2,276.000 trees. Flight of Winged Seeds. How far do the winged seeds range from the parent tree? De' Ridley of the Singapore botanic garderis watched those from a large forest tree and found them to travel more than 100 yards. Plumed seeds, like those of the. dandelion, or ainely powdered seeds easily travel far greater distances than winged seeds or samars. It would seem that wings on seeds do a far greater service in causing the seeds to alight In a position conducive to easy entrance to the soil than by wafting them., by the aid of wind, to great dis tances. According to Dr. Ridley. the tree abarved by him would spread but 300 yards In 100 years.-Los An gles Times. Get a Social Center.

PORE'S ANTISEFTIC HEALING OIL, a sur gcal dressing that relieves pin and hals at PRESERVATION OF TREES. Cement Used to Fill Cavities Caused by Many insects. Trees require the services of doctors as does man. There are many schools of forestry that teach the preservation of trees, the needs of the great oaks perhaps hundreds of years old and the little sapling just beginning to bios som. It frequently occurs that Insects eat their way into the trunk of a magnifi cent tree, and if left alone these would cause the death of the tree in a short TRWE PRTEED WV=H CRuMr. time. Cement Is used to fill the cavity caused by insects. Extreme care should be.exercised in removing every particle of decayed wood In the trunk of the trees before filling with any foreign substance. If only a small piece of decayed wood is left to re main, that surrounding will quickly decay also. Such operations on trees are not confned to the trunk, but may be successfully performed on the branehes. CITY PLANNING BOARD. Act of Masachusetts Legistatb Aicb in improving Civic Beauty. By an act of the Vassachusetti legislature every city of that common wealth and every town of over 10.000 population is authorized and directed to create a city planning board. The act outlines the duties of the board and Its method of appointment as fol. lows: "The duty of the planning board shall be to make careful studies of the resources. possibilities and needs of the city or town. particularly with re spect to conditions which may be in jurious to the public health or other wise injurious in and about rented dwellings. and to make plans for the development of the municipality with special reference to the proper housli of Its people. In cities the said board shall be appoInted by the mayor. sub ject to confirmation by the council, and in cities under a commission form of government, so called, the members of the board shall be appointed by the governing body of the city. In towns the members of the board shall be elected by the voters at the annual town meeting.". TOWN IS SMALL, BUT ALIVE Cedar Point, Kan., Completes Many Extensive Improvements. The extent to which modern Im provements are finding their way intc the smallest communities and serving people not possessed of wealth is well illustrated by the town of Cedar Point. Kan.. said to be the smallest munici pality in the state, having only 18~ residents This town has just con tracted for the contruction of an elec trie light plant. It will cost $3.000 and will be ready for business within nine ty days. It Is asserted that this will be the best lighted town In the state, and it will have -a great white way." There are plenty of people In the larger towns who think that If they have gas or a kerosene lamp or can dies that is all they cain afford and that the use of electric light Is a rep. rehensible extravagance. Genierally speaking, the thrifty country towns are better served with electric power and light and perhaps some more modern conveniences than the large towns or even the great city. Caring For His Health. Not many people guard their health so carefully as Sir Tatton Sykes, who In winter wore five or six coats when out riding and shed some of them as he became warmer. Prince Poutla kine, however, took even stronger pre cad~ons against Illness. If there was a touch of cold in the air he had fires lit In his grounds before venturing to stroll in them. His waistcoats were made In two separate pieces. joined at the sides by buttons, so that he ~could take thema off or put on additional ones without removing his coat. If caught In a shower he sheltered himself with an umbrella nearly two feet wide. which came down below his waist and was pierced with little windows. In very hot weather the prince wore boots coated with tin as a protection against mad dogs and carried sponges soaked with vinegar in his shIrt front to ward off unpleasant smells.-Lon don Chronicle.

WE DEAL IN ECONOMY TO BUY PARKS FOR CITIES Dr. Eliot Tells of Value of Playgrounds, VERY NECESSARY ADJUNCTS Should Consider Welfare of Children and Grandchildren In Expending Public Funds, President Emeritus of Harvard Asserts-Necessary to Civ ilization In Growing Communities. Discussing the need of parks for a city. Dr. Charles W. Eliot. president emeritus of Harvard. says: -It is very poor economy of human life. It Is very poor economy of money. to postpone the purchase of parks any further. 'Nothin4 is so costly.' it has been well said. 'as sickness. disease and vice. nothing so cheap as health and virtue. . Whatever' promotes the former is the worst sort of extrava gance; whatever fosters the latter is the surest economy.

ELOT. the country park or the public park proper. In the town squares and bou lev-ards men :md women will find fresh air and shade and decent surrounding-s for their hours of sociability and safe playgrounds for the children and fresh nurseries for the babies. But there is an important element in human nature which the town square cannot satisfy. This is that conscious or unconscious sensibility to the beauty of the natural world which in many men becomes a passion and in almost all men plays a part..
