HEDGES FOR THE GARDEN
They Protect the Yard, Mark Boun
daries, Hide Ugly Spots and Serve
Many Useful Purposes.
Hedges, if you have place for them,
serve at once the uses of utility and
beauty. They protect your yard, help
you out in many ways, such as mark
ing boundaries, hit!itss ugly eights oi
guarding beds of tender tilings from
blustery winds, and they add to the
appearance of your gmlen. In older
times there is reatvn to believe that
the protective feature of hedges com
mended them chiefly to landowners,
keeping out cattle, and even men.
There are a great many hedges in the
country which were planted and
trained with that purpose.
Think for a minute of the places
where you could use a hedge. It can
mark off the boundary between front
yard and back can mark off tho
limits of a vegetable garden, and pro
tect It, too: it can hide a boundary
fence, if you wish, and make it a
thing of beauty ii can be used as a
background for a border of llowers.
Hedges are of slower growth than
the average tilings the gardener
plants, but they improve from year
to year, and it is tin excellent cor
rective to have things of this more
leisurely class about the place.
California privet is the hedge gen
erally chosen for practical use. It
has much to endear it to the gardener.
It will grow rapidly and can be
clipped as much as you please. Few
if any pests have a fondness for the
California privet, and it holds its
greenness well through the season.
The main objection is that it is too
common and it is well to remember,
too, that one curse of small gardens
In this country is that they are too
formal. California privet will add to
that formality.
Other varieties of the privet hedge
have been much used, too. There is a
hardy Sheridan sort that has many
excellent qualities of resistance, ami
attractive appearance. Dox is not to
be recommended' to the average gar
dener in this region.
Evergreen hedges are a good choice
as a rule. Hemlock, arbor vitae and
Norway spruce are three standard se
lections. Arbor vitae, once universal,
has now lost much of its popularity
to hemlock. Norway spruce may be
made into an attractive hedge.
There are other hedges of extra
ordinary grace and beauty. The Jap
anese barberry is one. Eoth leaf and
stem of this plant are graceful and
delicate, and the conformation of the
plant is pleasing. The red berries
stay on through the winter.
The rosa rugosa makes a splendid
hedge, but one should be wary ol
planting it on too small a space. It
is best to keep the proportions in gar
dens as well as in architecture.
There are many other hedge possibili
ties lilac, spiraeas, honeysuckle,
cedar.—New York Post.
LIGHTING OF OUR STREETS
Rapid Change in Respect to lllumt
nants Throws Municipal Engineers
Into Quandary.
Municipal engineers who find them
selves confronted with the renewal
of city lighting contracts are just now
in somewhat of a quandary. A rapid
and extensive change Is going on with
respect to illuminants, and it brings
with it the,possibility of extremely
radical changes in street lighting. For
the first time there is now available
a highly efllcictit lamp of a thoroughly
practical character in units of mod
erate size. The tungsten lamp as used
In the last few years is an excellent
snifl!! unit, but not for a moment com
parable in efliciency, that Is in candle
power per dollar, with the modern
arcs which came into use about the
same time. At the present the nitro
gen lanvp is beginning rapidly to push
out the older tungsten form of in
candescent and will p«)bably end by
displacing as well all except the high
er grade of arc lighting.—Engineer
ing Record.
Decadence of Villages.
The typical American village, from
New York to New Mexico, is often
wanting in civic spirit. That fact is
writ large upon its face. It has one
focus of interest in the school and
half a dozen in the churches and
lodges. But it lacks the solidarity
that would manifest itself in a genu
ine village pride. A population small
enough to be roallv a unit and perma
nent enough to strike its roots deep,
(ret does not organize itself. This is
not true of the towns of New Eng-
land, which 50 years ago looked after
their lyceums. their commons, shade
trees and white palings. T!ut the
irearineRs of most western, Atlantic
ind southern villages testifies to the
rule they bear ail unkempt aspect
which, as William Allen White wrote,
requires the touch of twilight to give
it kindliness.
The ch-ange must follow upon the
birth of a new social spirit in the vil
lage itself. Wherever in the future
we have a beautiful center we may
be eure a set of social minded peo
|1« has been created.
GOLDEN VALLEY CHRONICLE
DO HINT SERVICE
"Veteran" Writes Interestingly of
United States Marines.
Gallant Corps Is Older Than tfea Re
public Itself, Having Been Organ
ized by Act of Continental
Congress in 1775.
By a Veteran.
Washington, D. C.—It was the cam
paign of the Allies against the Uoxers
iu 1
it00. They had captured Tientsin
by a hard three-day buttle. A confer
ence had been called of all the com
manders to discuss the question of
advancing or waiting for reinforce
ments. Gen. Robert Meade, in com
mand of the United States marines,
was ill and Col. Littleton T. Waller,
then a major, was the junior officer
of the representatives of many na
tions in the conference.
One by one the elder men gavo
their opinions that there was no press
ing need of an advance and that the
troops must have several more days
of recuperating. Finally, Major Wal
ler's opinion was asked and he stood
up and said:
"Gentlemen, I don't know just what
the rest of you mean to do, but tha
marines start for Peking at six o'clock
in the morning."
The marines did start at six o'clock
in tho morning, taking the allies
along.
This incident was recalled to my
mind on seeing that Colonel Waller
had been ordered East from the const
and is likely to get mixed up in tho
doings in Mexico. Waller's reply was
typical of the gallant little corps
which is older than the republic it
self. An act of the Continental con
gress In 1T75, a year before the Dec
laration of Independence, organized
the corps r'-:ng the lines of a similar
British boc'.v.
Just one hundred years before the
marines bettered at the gates of the
Forbidden city they did a heroic feat
in Tripoli. In 1^03 a detachment of
these soldiers of tho sea marched Cfi)
miles across the African desert tj
subjugate the insolent tyrants of tha
Mediterranean. They pulled flown tha
mnlodorous flag of the Tripolitans and
hoisted the Star Spangled Banner
over an ancient fortress before a
horde which had in large number
never seen it before.
The marine as a fighting man
aboard ship is said'bv one historian
to date back to the Persian empires
Marines are mentioned in connection
with the battle of Lade, in the tinii
of Darius I, king of Persia, about
49.1 B. C.
In the old days of engagements at
close quarters the marines were the
"cutlass crews." The fighting of na
val battles at a range of five to ten
miles has destroyed the usefulness of
the slashing boarder, but there ia
plenty of work left for the soldier ot
sea and land. As Josephus Daniels,
secretary of the navy, said recently:
"The marines and bluejackets havo
rendered valiant service at Vera Cruz,
The marines as well as the blue
jackets have proved their caliber, al
ways understood by our own peopla
as well as those of other nations. It
Is the marine who is always called
upon to form the entering wedge, to
blaze the trail in landing on foreign
shores."
To illustrate the manifold services
of the marine, let us take the example
of Haggerty, one of the three marines
who fell in the first day's fighting at
Vera Cruz. He had been under fire at
Samar and again at Peking. He had
gone into action twice in Nicaragua
and had had rifles aimed in his direc
tion in Hayti.
Just one hundred years after theii
march to Tripoli the United Statea
marines touched again on African soil,
but on the peaceful mission of es
corting a representative of the state
department to the court of King Mene
lik of Abyssinia. They took a camel
back ride of several hundred miles.
Between the Peking expedition and
this they also had a touch of excite
ment at Samar, Panama and Colon,
and even while the detachment waa
crossing the Abyssinian sands another
band of their comrades was aiding in
quelling the insurrection of 1903 ia
Seoul, Cuba. Santo Domingo, Hayti.
The warships, are manned bx sea?
men or blueJac'SetS, whs, in time ol
need, must become soldiers for serv.
ice ashore. The marine is not a sol
dier pure and simple. His uniform
resembles that of a soldier, but ha
has an actual part in tho manning
of the ship, in that he has his regular
duty aboard with a "battle station"
to which he must spring whenever
"battle stations" is sounded, and the
ship goes into action.
Among other things the marine
must possess good eyesight, for under
modern conditions, with high-powered
riiles, the greater part of land fight
ing would be done at a range of about
a mile.
The training of the marines includes
not only the signal drills, scarchligln
and heliograph practise in which the
sol(i:"rs of the army are trained, but
also the drills peculiar to the manage
ment of a sdlip of war, such as !iq
use of the wireless wig-wag, signal
ing. semaphore signaling, and in ninny
cases the handling of small boats.
