elemental sort, nro found continually

tho InEt ten or twenty yearis' avornlon
I on tho part of tin Americans, enpo
clally to classic education? Is It tho
rushing Into tho field of letters of too
many persons who nro meant to wield
a hoo and not a pen? Is It tho care
lessness of publlahors, or their coni
nicrclalistic, cold lndlffcrenco to real
art, Its rights and Its demands? One
thinks that it is all of these, pcrhap3.
Unquestionably not a littlo ot tho Ig

jtho contempt for classic knowlcdgo
(which distinctly marks tho mental at

of n lot that tho ownor might put up
a building. Later tho city notified tho
pwner that his building projoctcd sev
eral foot over the property lino, and
ho suod tho survoyor for tho cxpenso
of moving it back. Tho interesting
thine about tho cnne was tho claim of
the surveyor that he was not paid for,
taor did ho mnko a guaranteed survey,
hut that ho had mndo a mistako In
judgment This tho court would not
allow. In a profession, Judgment plays
an Important part; in a calling, rca
eonablo skill and accuracy nro moro
essential, from a legal point of vlow.
Consequently tho courts do not as a
rulo hold n lawyer or physlclnn re
sponsible for errors of Judgmont; it

DEAD MADE TO LIVE
Scientist Resuscitates Animals
That Had Been Killed.
Dr. Meltzer of Rockefeller Institute Be
lieves His Method Can Be Applied
to Human Beings Easy for
Laymen to Learn.
Now York. Dr. Samuel F. Meltzer
of tho Itockefoller Institute for Medi
cal Research, in the course of recent
oxperimonts to discover a successful
method ot artificial respiration, re
stored to ltfo two animals which he
had caused to be put to death nnd
which were dead in tho common ac
ceptance of tho terra. Both recovered
entirely. Ho believes the method to
be equally nppllcablo to man, and
urges that It bo tried in nil cases of
death; for it is quite possible, ho as
sorts, that In cases of death from
acuto Illness tho vactual causo might
bo only of a temporary nature.
This laboratory worker, whose repu
tation Is international, Is known to
scientists as an extremely conserva
tive man. Ills positive stntoments.
therefore, regarding tho results of his
latest discovery havo created a stir
In scientific circles.
It Is certain that Doctor Mcltzor has
dovlsed a method of artificial respira
tion tenfold moro efficient than tho
older ones, and it Is expected that it
will bo tho means of saving countless
lives.
Briefly, tho method consists of the
Introduction of a cnthetor Into the
pharynx, pulling out tho tongue, forc
ing tho back part of tho tongue
against tho roof of tho mouth by press
uro applied far back under the chin,
putting a weight on tho abdomen to
keep ajr from Wins Jorced into the
Btomnch, connectingho catnoTofrwTtE
a hollows and pumping air Into tho
lungs; With very littlo Instruction the
layman can learn theso methods as
roadlly as tho physician.
"The method was studied and found
efficient on four species of anlmnls.
But Its real usefulness will bo estab
lished only after standing the test In
lta application to human bolngs, and
tho final Judgment will hnvo to como
from tho phylsclans nnd not from the
experimenter In tho laboratory."
Tho majority of Doctor Meltzor's
experiments were carried on with ani
mals In. which respiration had benn
paralyzed by means of a poison namod
curare.

CONTRASTS IN THE GARDEN:
Vivid Colorings as Well as Restful".
Tone Schemes, May Be Secured
by Careful Planting.
Contrasts of color in somo parts oti
the garden aro moro dramatic in in
terest, yet tho more restful schemes
that include but one ton, yellOTT or
pink or purplo havo their full value.
It la a good plan whero large spaces,
aro to bo planted to have ono part,
of tho garden whero tho tlowerlngj
vines, shrubs and plants aro all of
harmonious shades of palo reds, with,
deep" reds In shadowy corners; anoth
er part, say nt tho edge of somo open:
sunny slope, with theblossoms yellow
and orange. Plant forget-me-nots In
some retired moist bit of ground, mass,
delphinium In a sunny plot near w.
shield of trees, and campanulas near
banks of fern. Vines draped fromt
tree to tree, clambering over a pergolat
or running nlong a wall, aid greatly ln
bringing about a sense of unity.
A constant procession of color cam
be had by a Jlttle careful planting..
For instance, in the corner of the gar-
den where yellow Is the color scheme,,
daffodils, tulips, yellow hyacinths and;
crocus should bo planted under oc
near tho forsythta bushes. Coreopsis(l
calllopsis and marigolds can be sot:
thickly as borders, and tho closor the
flowers aro massed the better for their
growth, for the ground is thus keptj
moist by the thick shade of lntermin-'
gllng lcavos. Yellow panslcs can bo
set In front of these, nasturtiums or,
even tho gay sunflower at the back ot
them.
Put the meadow lily and garden lrlsi
In a moist placo and the yellow Japa
nese Illy In n sunny plot. Scatter
thickly tho seeds of tho California,
poppy In ground that Is too sunny for
most other flowers, and they can be
depended upon to furnish tho gayest
splash of color in the 'whole garden
Yflllow asters, chrysanthemums, dah
las must be In evidence, and honey
suckle vines and climbing yellow rosesl
allowed to ramblo at will over a fence
or over a tree. Arranging the flowery
thus In a succession of crops not only;
nffords continuous bloom and color but.
Is also a valuable form of intensive

MAKE THE HOME BEAUTIFUL
Vines Should Cover Unsightly Fences;.
and Back Yard Should Be a
Garden.
One of the moving sentiments of the
day is for the betterment of civic con
ditions through tho co-operation of the
indivldual householder. The city has:.
Its part and the civic organizations,
have theirs, but the enthusing of the
Individual until all individuals aro full;
'of tho spirit of making their city what.
It might be from the point of view of
simple esthetic adornment Is tho thing."
that counts.
Nature has provided tho means for
tho most satisfying kind of homo en
vironment at this season. For a num-j
ber of months the trailing vines may
cover the unsightly fences and nlongt
tho walks the beds of brilliant bloom,
may yield both beauty and fragrance
The care of the garden plot in thet
back yard, whero thero Is no frontt
lawn, makes up a total of enjoyment
thnt no ono should miss. Many an anx
iety Is burled with tho garden spadei
and many a worry set aside In tending,
the simple flowers In the yard, and
health and hope wait upon such eni-r
ployment.
The time Is at hand when the work
of caring for these spots that may bo
mado so bright and Inspiring to youngL
and old may bo undertaken and by
univers-1 employment In this wise
the city will -be beautified. Beautify
ing the envoronmeut of the home wllL
maku the home Itself more beautiful''
and full of content.
Cleaning Up.
Many cities throughout "the country
aro having clean-up days this spring
on the order ot tho experiment which
Pittsburg so well remembers. Somo
do not ko so far as to guarantee re
moval of debris by the street cleaning
department, but nil urgo that house
holders clean up their premises and.
yards.
General obedlonco to this Injunction'.
Is -to bo commended every where. It
Is not alone In tho lntorosts of ap
pearance, of cleanliness and of order,,
but of hoalth. Most people can find a.
way to dispose of accumulated debris
which neglected otherwise accumu
lates dirt and breeds disease and dan
ger of Are.
Oncof the testa of good cltlzonshlp.
is tho cleanliness nnd order of one's,
homo. And this means tho back yard,
ns well ns tho front lawn. Tho man
or woman who spruces up the front of
tho houso and allows dirt and rubbish-
to litter up tho back is no better than. '
a whlted sepulchre.
Small Trees for Shade.
Prof. C. H. Goetz of the forestry
depurtment In tho ntato university
does not favor tho planting of very
largo trees for shnde. In a bulletin
containing advlco as to tho planting -of
trees on Arbor day ho suggests that
largo trees, ns a rule, suffer moro froro
transplanting than small ones and
says that u largo troo will continue to
grow uninterruptedly and tho sooner
mako a large one.
He counsels against planting any
kind of a treo n any old place Just
for tho soko of planting. Thought of
lta future development and care
should be taken. Tseos for transplant
ing, ho says, should never bo moro
than three Inches In diameter. From
.one to throe Inches base measure la
,tho best for most trees. Columbus
