Hedges There are a number of blocks in the city in which there Is no obstruction along the whole fronts by bashes, trees or fences, and these are much the best appearing blocks in the city. There is one beautiful-stretch of lawn which would be almost perfect were a mulberry hedge removed. This hedge interrupts with Its unslghtllness a 1 ooatlnuous stretch of pleasant sward.

It is obligatory upon the Scouts that they cultivate eouraee, loyuUy, patriot ism, brotherliuess, self-control, court esy, kindness to animals, usefulness, cheerfulness, cleanliness, thrift, purity, and honor. The aim of the Hoy Scouts is to sup plement the various existing educa tional ncrniiLs. and In nrnmnte tlia ability iu boys to do tilings for them-1 selves and others. '' It is not a military organization, rather a distinctly peace organization, but so cultivating hardiness, readiness, and courage in the boy as to better tit him for war or peace, or, indeed, auy emergency of life All Scout troops should consist of not less than eight boys, and all mem bers should be twelve years of age or over. These are directed tiy a Scout master; that is, the adult leader of. the troop, who must be twenty-one years ot age. Tlie Scout-master takes his directions and lessons, so to speak, from a Manual, the Scout-master's Manual, especially prepared for bim by the members of the Executive Board of 'the National' Council of the Boy Scouts. yvu - .This Board and Counsel are compos ed of men high 'In standing, experts in their own line, so that by means of this organization the Boy Scouts of the country are put in touch .-with the country's ideas and the wisdom of men who stand fur the best and most American things. The Boy Scouts will learn, if they rollow the general program laid out for them, and if they have an efllcient Scout-master, any and all of the fol lowing things: Scoutcraft The Manual reads: "To be a Scout means to be prepared to do the right thing at the right mom cut, un'uiattor what tlie consequences may be " WnonciiAiT Which enables the Scout lo Hud his way no matter wheiu he is; tenohes him tliu various kind of wild-fruit loots, nuts, etc ; tenches him cm of ul observation, etc. Cami'Ciiafi ok allKiniis Including tenting, cooking, boating, swimming, tracking, signaling, etc. Also, health and endurance, chiwiliy, first aid und life-saving, games and athletics, pa triotism and citizenship. Meetings should lie, If possible, onoo a week. The mum dltllculty is iu get ting a good Scout-master, it must bo someone tollable, lesponhible, and whom tho boys will tespeut. It is wisely recommended to ."go slow." (let things well ntaited. Let each boy have his own task. Send to headquarters for a Itooklot on Form ation of Putiols aud Tioon-i. Each boy should have a Manual. Itlsthhty cents well spent. All iufoi million and unit oilals may bo had from National lifudqiiHitcr-, liny Scouts of Amorlcu, Fifth Avenue Building, Mew YoikCiiy. In g'eueral, 1 believe this organia lion, aw it h tun its to-dity, to bu a splon did and unique hojh'oppoituuity. Tin especially good points mo tho miliUty discipline, with peace Intent; the dignity of the organization; the stipei- - two Weeks Each Year For $1,50. vision of the boys aud their interests by a Scoutmaster who is himself ac countable to superior officers; the In telligent appropriation and intelligent use of a boy's surplus energy; the practical knowledge taught aud ac quit cd, aud the allied mental, physical, and moral traiuiug. The secret signs, passwords, etc., are also good. They supply certain need, aud takothe place of the often datigorous secrecies main tained by small gangs and companies of boys. In a wotd, hero is an opportunity, mi employment, an education suited, almost exactly suited, to n boy's needs, und to just those needs that home anil a boy's mother cannot possibly supply. I do not write this at the solicitation of the organisation. Not a member of It knows I am writing it. 1 am writing it for other women and from a woman's standpoint the standpoint of the mother of the Boy. As I tbluk the matter over, I am led to believe that it is barely possible there may be a graiu ot egotism in my eager indorsement of the lloy Scout movement. I have often longed to tell the Rowdy's and the "Bully V mother how sho should train her boys, and have desisted; I have yearned to show the Biaggart's mother her flagrant mistakes iu the Braggart's education, and 1 have felt that 1 had no light. Hut now they have been Boy Scouts six mouths, these three I can see the Boy Scouts' organization effecting the very changes I have longed to effect. I can see the "Bully" no;longcr deserv ing of the name; the Braggart become a silent aud useful member of society; -add the Rowdy? he is not two feet from me as, I write, bis head bent duti fully, along with the carroty head of the Boy of my theories, over the Boy Scoots' Manual, studying absorbedly certain signs and obediences which he owes to bis superior officer; as fine a boy as you would care toese He even gets up uow in manly'fashlon to offer me a chair when I oorae in the room. And neither his mother nor I, nor any thing In our woman's sphere, is ac countable for that, but only and solely the Scout law and the grimy and much fingered Boy Scouts' Manual that has been complied and writteu by men who were once boys themselves, and who understand, as no woman ever docs or can, a boy's world. If custom permitted, I would take my hat off to them; as it does not, I say, "Lord bless you, gentlemen I'' The Editor. Allegorically speaking the editor Is 11 happy medium between a soupboiio and a portor-houso steak. Nobody ever saw a itch editor, says H. J. Itaiiu in tho lliriningham, (Alu.) News, and on me oiner 11a1.1t 110 one ever en countered 1111 editor who didn't head oery subcilptioii with n donation of four-blth and a stub pen Tho editor is said to bulong to tho fourth cs'uto because that Is the only kind he over loaves, Ho is also 0110 of tho most choerf ul and overworked prevaricators now passing us legal tender. When ever a girl with a nice likocreain pull's marries 11 youth who never earned a dlmo outside the shooting gallery, tho editor has to paint tho bride as a radiant vision of blushing beauty and 1110 groom as 0110 01 our using young business men, or else disappoint an expectant ciicle of delinquent sub scribers. If tho editor fails to spread a two column obituary over tho death of a pioiiilncut c!M.oii who never paid a gt ouery bill outside the justice com t, no is apt to bo waited on by some two fisted relative of tho deceased with an In jit icd air and a punch in either hand.

Weed! The city council should appoint some one with authority to keep the streets free from wef ds, charging the expense against the' lot owners. Some of the streets are In a horrible condi tion, suggesting a jungle or immature forest rather than an avenue of busi ness or pleasure. In past years 'the olty employed a man with a mower to keep the streets clean. It may be that the city finances will not justify ibis course now, and it may be that no one cares to run a machine over the streetawfth their accumulations of cans aeitwtre and other , things liable to break "a sickle. But were some one man given the entire charge of the streets, with authority to contract with the lot owner, and In case of failure to contract, to have the cost of his work paid by the city and charged up to the lot as taxes, he would find a profitable occupation, and tlie health and cleanliness of the city would be greatly enhanced.
