Aftermath Society Gives Some Yard Cleaning Tips

Improve your neighborhood. One way to get a better city is to improve your own neighborhood. To do this the following plan, suggested by the Engelmann Botanical club, is being carried out in many.-localities In St. Louis. Let two or more persons in every block or group of blocks, form a committee. This committee is then to invite all those who live in their block to form a club, whose aim shall be to Improve the appearance of their block. ' , '. , Such clubs can act far more effect' Ively and systematically than the Individual. .They can agree upon uniform planting, can hire a man to do the work for several clubs, can buy a spraying pump, etc, A system of block cleaning has been in existence In St. Louis for about three years, on, Washington avenue, from King's Highway to Union avenue. At a smau inamauai cost a squad or workmen clean the pavements, gutter and crossings. The weeds on vacant lots are kept cut and sod is placed on the lawns where needed. This club Bystem has been tried for ten years in Brooklyn, N. Y., and through the efforts of these block clubs. ; Brooklyn has been practically transformed in that period.

The suggestions Is sued last year were as follows: Gather up all the dirt and rubbish in your yard and place it on a pile in the alley the morning of your clean up day Rake on a pile the tin cans, bottles, etc., on the vacant lot near you the day before your clean-up day and they will be hauled away by the city teams Plant trees and sow grass; do not live without a lawn. Repair your fences, gates and sheds paint or whitewash them. Burn all your rubbish. Do not throw it in the street, alley or vacant lots. ' Repair your sidewalk. Take all the dandelions out of your lawn they spoil its beauty and in time will de stroy it. If your residence, store front, wagons, signs or automobiles look old or faded, have them repainted, v Keep down the weeds on your property and while they are young, have them destroyed on the vacant lots near you. If your awnings are old, torn or fad ed, get new ones. Do not spit on the sidewalks. The city is trying to keep those in the business district especially clean by washing them several times each week. ;

In a discussion on the evolution of the bachelor girl Julia Ward Gibson remarks: There are just four classes of women matrons, spinsters, old maids and bachelor girls and it is one of the practical jokes of fate that frequently the spinster has been joined to some man in the bonds of wedlock and the man's woman who would be happiest married has not realized her destiny for some reason. Now, the title "old maid" Is often misapplied. Some are called, old maids who are really spinsters, for that is the word which expresses the unpleasant disposition the indiscriminating would apply to all unmarried women. Spinster is the title which should be applied to those women, married or single, whose entire horizon is bounded by the limitations of self Interest. What a miserable thing egotism is, that it destroys our ability to enjoy the pleasures and interests of others! It is ene of those faults the germ of which is bred in ns all, though the soil of personality induces different degrees of development. Now, an old maid is an entirely different creature. She is kind hearted, self sacrificing, gentle, lovable and usually klssable. You all know ber type, my friends, and rare. Indeed, Is the family whose connection is not blessed by an old maid aunty usually an old maid because her family "butted in" when the man she preferred was courting her. However, her relatives couldn't do without her to sew, cook, mend and take care of them through attack of all the ills man is heir to, from grip to gout. As for her, she finally puts away her dreams of natural happiness and achieves a certain kind of contentment In fussing over, caressing and taking care of the babies among the connection. The bachelor girl Is an entirely different creature. Nervous, ambitious, an Idealist and a worker, she is a combination of the virtues and failings of the other three divisions of womankind. Regret Is suffering, but It is a sensation that all bachelor girls have experienced, even In the midst of success. But continued progress in one's work and a constantly broadening horizon of life soothe away the pain of past experiences by a realization of the pleasures of the present, and memories which once opened the floodgates of tears become the occasion of a quiet, retrospective happiness or perhaps just a little amusement that one could have been so easily satisfied. And she may rightly be termed a "bachelor." Happy and contented, life holds much for her. At peace with the past, she builds ambitious plans for the future with eager interest, and if she marries now it Is not for a home or because of the impulse of sudden passion, but because she has found a man whom she can love and inspect and wbo knows how to be a jolly good chum. But for the majority of girls matrimony Is the safest harbor and the reamon for their existence. PROMINENT LEADER NEW YORK SOCIETY

WORDS "SHAME" AND "SCANDALOUS GREETED THE REMARKS OF THE MINISTER WHEN HE PERFORMS THE SERVICE. London, April 17. The funeral of Algernon Charles Swinburne, the poet, at Bon-church, Isle of Wight, was carried out in contradiction to his wishes, and the deviation led to a painful scene at the grave. In his will the poet expressly forbade the holding of any religious services. Theodore Watts-Dunton, Swinburne's sole executor, telegraphed to that effect to the rector of Bon-church, who replied that he would follow Mr. Watts-Dunton's instructions. Angered at Church Service. When, therefore, the cortege started for the graveyard and the voice of the rector was heard in the opening sentences of the Episcopal funeral service amazement and anger were shown in the faces of the mourners, t Mrs. Watts-Dunton attempted to . make a protest, but was restrained by ! one of the other mourners. When the grave was reached the rector announc ed that the non-religious service which had been planned could not take place. He added, however, a few words of j appreciation of the lovable poet, and j the mourners were appeased for a time, but their anger was reawakened when the rector resumed . the burial service at the passage beginning "Man that is born of woman." Mutter "Shame" and "Scandalous." Never before, perhaps, has that sentence been received at a graveside with muttered exclamations of "shame" and "scandalous" as it was on this occasion by the chief mourners. The clergyman proceeded relentlessly, stopping at "earth to earth" and omitting "in the hope of a glorious resurrection." The mourners, though deeply indignant at the disregard of the poet's last wishes, refrained from open protest after the first exclamations. THE "GHOST FLUID." j A Test by Which tfay 8e Discerned j the Digital Effluvia. ( There Is an experiment, first made ! by Dr. J. Maxwell, advocate general at iue coun oi appeals in fans, a distinguished magistrate and physician, which may be repeated in any drawing room. Place a screen covered with a dark colored cloth In front of a window so that the light falls full upon It. Between the window and the screen put the subject of your experiment. Let him hold his hands, palms toward the breasts finger tips touching. In such a position that they are projected against the dark background of the screen. Then bid him slowly separate his hands, keeping the fingers extended widely. Standing behind him you will observe a sort of bluish gray cloud which seems to unite one hand to the other. Eight people out of - ten will see this, says Vance Thompson fci Hampton's Magazine. In 300 tests made by Dr. Maxwell personally 230 folk of one sex and the other discerned the digital effluvia: about 5 per cent saw it tinged a decided blue, two saw It yellow la tone, and In one- instance the spectator saw It of a reddish hue. The experiment succeeds best to a warm room. Cold and damp work against it. The duration of ArmjMitj

FURNITURE COVERfNGS.

A Girl's Room Done In Cream Orange Colorings. Nothing could be more charming than some of the new cotton goods designed for couch covers, window Lansings and curtains that might be adapt, ed to portieres, bed covers, covers for cushions and others larger for tables. A fact that recommends these especially to persons of limited income Is that the stuffs really furnish, so that less furniture Is required than would be were the coverings plain. A gorgeous set seen recently in one shop adapted to a girl's room has a deep cream ground with fine ribbonlike stripes of burnt orange. At regular Intervals along these, are dark brown and green peacocks. The border Is about twelve Inches deep, with a ground of dull Indian blue, green and brown being Introduced. Teacocks and plain trees form the decoration. An Interesting point is that almost all the figures are oriental In treatment, nnd the colors, while sounding crude and barbaric, are handled with the utmost art. Camels and pyramids are the motif of another set, and brilliantly hued birds predominate In all. As it Is possible to have too much color, etc.. It Is wiser to put some plain pieces with these sets rather than to carry the patters through the entire room. For Instance, with the design first mentioned, that of peacocks, the couch would look far better if plain cushions were used. Greens, browns and dull blues, precisely of the same tones carried out in the figures, serve to accentuate the cover without bewildering tbe eye. A girl who is artistic is making; two such couch covers serve as a cover and as curtains. The lounge has one of the original covers thrown over it. and the center of tbe other cover she has made Into cushion covers. The border thus left Is placed as a band about a pair of drapery curtains of plain color. Tbe effect Is extremely good and unusual. Denim Is an excellent material to use In combination, or a thinner one may be adopted. The important point Is to carry the same tone, for unless this Is done the clash of colors will be distressing. All of these wash excellently and when Ironed look like new. A NEW USE FOR NET. Charming and Effective Lamp Shades of This Material. New lamp shades of chiffon or cretonne are finished with filet net drawn taut over the wires. Embroidered filet makes a very attractive finish and Is extremely practical, as it does not exclude the light. In fact, the old fasha sunns IMtT SOAOB. loned filet lace, commonly called darned net. is very appropriate whes used on lamp shades or candle shades. Somehow or other the style of lace lenda Itself as no other style does to the finishings of attractive little dainties for the household. It Is Just on this plan that one would use filet lac on a centerpiece or even to finish curtains. Who ever heard of using Valenciennes or a fancy lace for any such purpose? The Drawback.

Haymow senior one day repaired thither from his rural habitat and sought Information of his brother, long since established in the city. "Waal." said Haymow senior, "what do you hear about Ebenezer?"
