GARDEN FOR EVERY HOME
Two Hundred Workmen's Cottages
Erected in a London Suburb Are
So Planned.
Two hundred and four cottage resi
dences in agreeable contrast with the
ordinary working class home have
been erected at West Ham, a suburb
of London, says the Telegraph of that
city. The houses, which are built in
blocks of two or more, huve bright and
artistic frontages of various designs,
with tiled roofs. Euch cottage has a
garden at the rear, and there is a
small front garden, except where the
house faces one of the grass covered
opeu spaces for which provision has
been made. The forecourts are paved
back and front. All the roads on the
estate are 40 feet in width, and the
distance between each group of houses
is such as to insure ample light and
air. .
Fifty of the houses are three-roomed
with scullery ; 124 four-roomed and 30
five-roomed. Bents, inclusive of rates
and taxes, are 6 shillings 6 pence, 8 j
shillings 6 pence and 12 shillings a
week for the respective types. Each
house is provided with a bath, copper, |
cooking range, gas lighting and indoor |
lavutory. Wardrobe cupboards are
supplied to each bedroom, and there
are meat safes, with outside ventila
tion, on the ground floor. No effort
has been spared to render the interior
of the buildings commodious and as
cheerful as their external surround
ings.
VALUE OF HOME GARDENS
Distinctly Educational, Apart From
the Pleasure Derived From the
Work of Cultivation.
There are various angles from which
to praise the home garden work in
which 15,000 Washington children en- :
gaged this spring. It helps make for j
4i city beautiful ; the children's waste ;
.time is employed ; thrift is developed.
But one of the chief benefits is
educational. This gardening teaches
things that cannot be learned inside
a classroom. The youth gets the joy
of "seeing things grow." He acquires
a capital counter-irritant for the sup
posedly artificial atmosphere of thi
apartment house. He gets in touch
with the laws of nature, the pulse ol
living things, the great creative forces, j
He works in good, wholesome dirt. He
learns something of where his food
comes from. He loses the illusion ol
the tin eau, hermetically sealed, germ
proof, wax paper school of household
economy. ?
We must live in cities, and living
in them does not bring half the evils
that tlie "back to the farm" advo
cates would have us believe. But we
make our cities dilhcult to live in by
not doing the things that these chil
dren are doing-keeping our feet on
the ground, and keeping in touch with
Mother Earth.
Be Sure to Plant Some Vines.
Morning glories, cypress vines,
sweetpeas, gourds, nasturtiums, Japa
nese hops, wild cucumber, hyacinth
bean are among our most desirable !
annual climbers. Seeds of them do
not cost much, and a package of one I
or the other will yield shade, beauty
and grace.
The sides of a steep terrace or bank
may be transformed into a thing of
beauty by planting trailers along its
top. Rosa Wichuraiana, the memori
al rose, and its hybrids, are desirable
for this purpose. It produces a pro
fusion of long wreaths of smuli, thick
ly-set leaves, that look us though they
were varnished. In June it literally
covers itself with large, white single
roses.
The Virginia creeper, honeysuckle,
nasturtiums and moon vines are trail
ers rather than climbers. Of garden
plants the sweet potato and the dew
berry are genteel enough to be grown
ns trailers. They give edibles instead
of flowers.
Increase in Playgrounds.
Neighborhood playgrounds under
the direction of play leaders are being
maintained In 432 cities in the United
States, according to the annual report
of the Playground und Recreation As
sociation of America. The number of
new playgrounds opened during the
year was 1,000, bringing the total to
3,294. More than one hundred cities
employed 1,053 play leaders through
out the year.
In 250 cities playgrounds Hke parks
and schools are administered by the !
municipality itself. Seventy cities j
maintained classes for training recre
ation workers. Last year the expendi
tures were $4,066,357. Bond issues in
17 cities amounted to $1,663,750. In 49
cities neighborhood playgrounds have
been donated by private individuals.
The School Garden.
The school that excels in the gar
den farming future will cover up
many defects in the educational pro
cess. There Is more hope for the boy
and girl who devote themselves to this
fine physical exercise and mind-open
ing employment than if they succeed
in parsing a whole page of "Paradise
Lost." It ts u beautiful part of life,
and just the thing a boy needs to
make a noble citizen of himself.
All Should Remember That
Christ's Mission Was Not
to Destroy.
The face of Jesus of Nazareth must
have been a striking face. People nev
er mistook any of the disciples for
Christ, and I do not think that anyone
who had ever seen his face forgot it.
Surely, people who looked into his
countenance while he did some miracle,
never forgot it. And people who had
been the objects of his miraculous
touch never forgot his look of love
and pity, and power. Simon, who
walked by Jesus' side within the cor
don of Roman soldiery, and bore his
cross for him on the way to Calvary,
never forgot the look of his face.
Caiaphas, the high priest, who had
plotted against Christ, and at hist suc
ceeded in having him brought in one
night for trial, never forgot it. Pilate,
who had sent many to the cross with
out compunction, but never one like
Jesus, and who in his cowardly way
tried to set him free, never forgot lt.
The centurion who sat immovable on
his horse and looked up at Jesus
through the hours of thc crucifixion,
never forgot it.
A man cannot keep out of his coun
tenance the dominant spirit of his life, i
The sin of life is stumped upon the
face; the purity of the heart is
stamped upon the face. The finer
the nature, the more easily it is read
in the countenance. Perhaps that is
the reason why woman's faces reveal
the Inner spirit more readily than
men's faces.
If the face is the dial of the soul,
then what of the face of Christ? The
inner spirit of Jesus must have made
his face beautiful. It was a face that I
drew people with the wonder of it. It
was a face that defied description, for ;
no authentic record describes it, and
one feels that no artist's brush has j
done It justice. As his was the purest j
soul, so his was the perfect face.
Rebuffs Frequently Met.
On his journey south Jesus passed
through Samaria, and at n certain Sa- i
maritan village he was denied hospital
ity, "because his face was as though
he would go to Jerusalem." The true
follower of Christ often meets with the
same rebuff. The world extends few
courtesies to the mun who turns his
back on its follies, and sets his face
steadfastly toward the city of God.
There is no need to suppose that
James and John were themselves the
messengers who met with this repulse.
The two sons of Zebedee were more
probably with their Lord at the time
when others brought back the news
that the village refused to receive
him. Upon this provocation all their
suppressed and smoldering indignation
against the heretics through whose ter
ritory they were journeying, breaks
forth. At this instance of contempt
shown to their Lord, and to themselves,
for there is no doubt that personal
feeling mingled with their indignation,
the sons of thunder forgot their Gos
pel teaching and would apply Old Tes
tament methods: "Shnll we call down
fire from heaven to destroy them, as
did Elias?"
Jesus rebuked them. It is well for
us to recall the love and generosity
of Jesus toward those who were alien
or hostile to him. for the spirit of re
tribution, nnd even of hatred, is so apt
to creep In among us Christians. Hos
tility between his nation and the Sa
maritans was both ancient and bitter.
Among tho later proverbs of the Jews
was one which said, "To eat the bread
of a Samaritan is as eating swine's
flesh." The Jews despised those who
worshiped at the rival temple on
Mount Gerizim. The hostility endures
to this day. Yet all Christ's conduct
toward the Samaritans was marked hy
special kindness. He chose a Samari
tan to typify the spirit of Christian
charity, and made the name of the
"Good Samaritan" a title of honor for
ever.
Je3us Always Loving.
Consistency and truth often com
pelled Jesus to say things which un
avoidably gave offense. And let us
note that he never pared down the
truth, nor minimized it, nor udjustetl
it in such a way that lt might be more
palatable. Truth nnd right met false
hood and wrong wherever Jesus hap
pened to be. Between them there ls
eternal war. This conflict Jesus never
tried to avoid, but in it one never
hears In his voice the threatening
note of wrath, but always the persuad
ing note of love.
Jesus had come, not to destroy men's
lives, but to save them. He might
have said to James and John ns he
said to Phillp on another occasion:
"Have I been so long time with you
and have ye not known me?" Though
they loved him and were zealous for his
honor, they still lacked his spirit. The
final prayer of St. Peter for the peo
ple of the churches was that they
might "grow In grace, and in the
knowledge of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ." The grace of God in
the heart of man soon betrays Its pres
ence. It Is the impnrtlng to the soul
of the mind of Christ, which desires
to save life, not to destroy lt. More
knowledge of Jesus Is more knowledge
of God.
First Duty ls Charity.
Christ still walks the earth in the
shape of Charity: religion, after all,
is best preached by putting its max
ims into practice; tho poor are al
ways with us, and the first duty of
the Christian is to bind their wounds
and soothe their sorrows-H. Rider
Haggard.
God Has Bestowed on All the
Privilege of Helping Souls
to Him.
I "And ns thy servant was busy here
anti there, he was gone."-I Kings
20:40.
These words aro taken from an Old
Testament parable. The prophet who
used them hud disguised both him
self and his purpose, lie appeared
before tho monarch with n mask of
ushes upon his face and with a mask
of uncertainty upon his words. In
deed the prophet disguised himself
so thoroughly that the world has
never found out who he was; he also
disguised his words so that their first
import is by no means plain. But,
lifting them out of their immediate
connection, wo shall quickly lind some
application for ourselves and for our
present work.
There are several things that np
pear at once on the surface of the
story. A man had been made respon
sible for the keeping of another; this
responsibility had been imposed by
a high authority; for a reason plain
ly stated he had failed of his trust;
when he came to himself he looked
about and found that his prisoner had
fled ; certain disasters .and penalties
followed upon his negligence. All
these points, which do no violence to
the ancient meaning, may well he fit
ted Into a parable of the Christian
life. Without further explanation we
shall seek for the lessons of the sim
ple word.
"First, then, we have been made
responsible for the reaching and
keeping of the souls of men for a
higher authority-God himself. It ls
difficult for us to realize the full Im
port of such a suggestion. Perhaps
at times we have wished that God had
put us in a world of relations and
had still left us without responsibility
for others. But in our better mo
ments we feel the goodness of the
ties that hind us to men, and we glory
in the divine partnership that our hu
man help fairly implies. In his ways
God has put us in each other's keep
ing.
Bringing Men to God,
It may not always be easy to say
just where human influence ends and
the divine culling comes in; not pos
sible to say just where the free will
of the other man takes up our work
and completes it by his own loving sur
render ; but that God gives us the fear
ful privilege of bringing men to him
there can be no doubt. In the Chris
tian view, every man must appear to
us as u candidate for the divine grace ;
nor do we dare to set limit to that
responsibility.
Vast as is the task of bringing about I
a universal discipleship, it is just
this duty that the Lord has set before
us. . The rest of the world is in our
charge. What can the Master say if
we fail of our very reason for being
und come home at the end of our
season of harvesting without any
sheaves for the heavenly garner?
The truth is that we do not want
any person to be lost. We do not de
liberately allow men to be lost. The
greatest tiling is simply crowded out.
We are "busy here and there." Our
carelessness in reference to souls
grows out of our busy-ness in refer
ence to things. It is this matter of
commerce; it is that party; lt is the
reading of this book; it is that lec
ture; it is this social call; it Is that
committee meeting. Life is so com
plex. We are so busy-God help usl
-that ere we know It our spiritual
chance is gone.
But One Poor Answer.
Is not all this the transcript of
your feelings? You are not heart
less; you are merely busy. Some day
the king of the kingdom eternal stands
before you and says: "Where Is that
one that was your special charge?"
Your poor answer conies up to him,
tbe best and only answer you can give,
and yet a shameful answer, "As thy
servant was busy here and there, he
was gone."
And this brings us to the thought
that the result of carelessness through
busy-ness is the same as that of de
liberate neglect. The prisoner has
gone, just as surely as If the guard
had broken the chains, pointed the
path of escape, and said : "Gu ; I will
not molest you." The result Is one;
the man is gone in either case.
Evil ls wrought for want of thought
As well as want of heart.
The lesson may be applied also to
each Individual. God has put Into
your charge one person whom he re
quires that you shall hold for himself.
That person is you. It may be well
to ask if you are not escaping from
yourself, If the fine, sweet nature that
loved God in childhood, prayed to him
each day, believed in him and rejoiced
in the story of his love, is not slip
ping away from yourself. It is possi
ble for a man to be so busy "here
and there" that his very best self shall
escape and go off into the far country.
Call back that best of self now! It
ls a trust from God. Let it not be
that in the end you shall have to say
of yourself : "As I was busy here and
there, he was gone."-Bishop Edwin
ll. Hughes.
Christian's Duty to Comfort.
Close beside us In this sad world,
perhaps under our own roof, are sor
rowful hearts needing the glance of
sympathy, the word of cheer. Wrapt
)n our own selfishness, we pass them
by. Let us pray that our understand
ing may bo opened and we may he en
abled to minister to their need.
BOSTON WOMAN RECOMMENDING IT
TO HER FRIENDS.
Popular Boston Lady SaysTonoline Has
Proven a Godsend to Her.
It is always interesting to listen to
the statements of our friends, and
especially when you know they are sin
cere and honest in ?vhat they say.
Added interest is created in a state
ment coming from one who has spent
a life Lime in Boston, where sh?; is well
known socially.
Such a person as Annie Stewart, who j
resides in Boston, and is possessed of i
the respect and confidence of her as- j
sociates, and is willing for anyone to
call on her to verify the following |
signed testimonial.
"I have suffered with stomach trouble
for the past seven years. It took the
form of indigestion and dyspepsia. I
had dizzy spells and headaches, and af
ter I ate a little food it would ferment
and cause gas to form in my stomach.
I had pains all over mv body, and was
chronically constipated. My liver was
torpid, and I felt generally miserable.
I had doctored and had been in the
hospital, but received no permanent re
lief. I was so nervous and restless
that at night I could scarcely sleep.
The gas pressing under my heart |
caused palpitation, and when I arose
.in the morning I was just as tired as
when I retired. About two weeks ago
1 began to take tonoline, and I can
truthfully state that it has done won
ders in my case. I am feeling like a
new woman and can eat any kind of
food. I sleep the night through and
have no more aches or pains; in fact,
it has cured me, and I am recommend-1
ing it to all my friends, as it has been
aGod-sendto me." All druggists sell
and guarantee tonoline.
There are numerous symptoms of this
trouble that tonoline can relieve. In
fact, any of the following may denote
affections of the stomach: Indigestion,
dyspepsia, belching of wind, bad
breath, sick throbbing headache, poor j
circulation, night sweats, that tired j
.feeling, costiveness, coated tongue or
a poor complexion.
Caution:-As tonoline is recommend
ed as a flesh builder those not wishing
to increase their weight 15 pounds or
more should not take it continuously.
AN EASY WAY TO RFDUCE FLESH
Drink Hot Water and TakeTascoo.
Haven't you often wished for a med
icine to reduce your flesh? Something
that does not require dieting or calis
thenics? Well, right here you have it
in 5-grain tasco tablets, which you may
secure at any drug store. They are
pleasant to take, perfectly harmless
and cause no restrictions of habit or
eating, and reduce the flesh, little by
little, until you are down to the num
ber of pounds you wish to weigh. Too
much flesh is undesirable, as most
quite stout people will readily admit,
and it detracts from one's good ap
pearance; makes one clumsy and short
of breath.
There isn't any reason why anyone
should be too stout, when there's this
much-tried, perfectly satisfactory rem
edy at any drug store. Tassco tablets
(don't forget the name) are recom
mended by physicians and are guaran
teed to be perfectly harmless. Refuse
sabstitutes, if you can not come to
our store, we will mail tassco to you.
