the home fare if one desires. A good literary and reading- 

 room, with all the papers and magazines, is free to all. A 

 very fine band discourses most beautiful music each evening. 

 All kinds of bathing — surf, still water, or indoor warm water 

 plunge bathing are at the command of all. All the attractions 

 of the great hotel are shared with the occupants of Tent City. 

 For one of my simple tastes. Tent City offers as inviting a 

 menu as does the great hotel. I know of no place in Cali- 

 fornia, or elsewhere, where as much can be had to gratify 

 wholesome desire as at this beautiful retreat at delightful Cor- 

 onado. 



CULTURE. 



At the pretty little hamlet of Chula Vista, on the main- 

 land opposite the south end of Coronado peninsula, I had the 

 pleasure of being entertained by Judge A. Haines for two 

 days the past week. At the dinner table one evening. Judge 

 Haines, who has a family of delightful and promising children, 

 two of whom are making an enviable record in college, 

 remarked upon the tremendous importance of the parents 

 gaining and holding the fullest confidence and sympathy of 

 the children. To do this we parents MUST be able to enter 

 fully into the plans, thoughts and feelings of our children; 

 must give heartiest sympathy to all that pleases and interests' 

 them. This, said the Judge, is the key to all right training 

 in the home. 



I was greatly interested in his further remark, that the 

 best use of education was to make us able to extend these 

 sympathies. Nothing, said the Judge, will help us so much 

 to give and gain this fullest and best sympathy, as will rich 

 culture. Thus education, broadest and best, will, as its best 

 fruit, make possible such training as will result in grandest 

 men and women. Such will most exalt our citizenship, and 

 most bless the world. Judge and Mrs. Haines' own home and 

 family are the best proofs that his philosophy is correct. 



The .Judge made one other remark : Anarchy, whose 

 foul presence has struck such a cruel blow not only at us, but 

 the world, feeds on sensation and superstition. Culture is the 



arch foe to both these blots of character. Culture, then, 

 should rid us of the dastardly presence, that so seriously 

 menaces our peace and safety. 



EVERGREEN TREES. 



The mother-love is one of the most holy and sacred of 

 instincts. It impels the mother bird to fashion her nest where 

 the younglings will be most secure against discovery and 

 harm. Thus the pine and other evergreens are most sought 

 for purposes of nest-building. Thus on every home grounds 

 we may well plant a group of evergreens. I have only two 

 lots for my home at Claremont, yet down by the barn I have a 

 vigorous Monterey pine, Lawson cypress, Norway spruce, 

 silver cedar, giant sequoia, and graceful arbor vitae. Already 

 the birds have found my grove and appreciated it for nest- 

 building. Thus this grove has three advantages : It gives 

 real beauty, gives a touch of evergreen landscape, brings the 

 cheering, beautiful presence of our feathered friends. Hur- 

 rah for the little grove of ever verdant conifers ! 



THE GARDEN. 



Every bee-keeper, every rancher, should have a garden. 

 What a superb place to give the children the needed whole- 

 some employment ! What a chance to give them responsibility 

 and opportunity to earn money ihat shall be all their own ! 

 What a rich addition it gives to the family table as the best 

 corn and peas are only known to him who raises them in his 

 own well-cared-for garden. What a rich pleasure for the 

 family as a whole, to plan, plant and glean in this little best 

 corner of the home grounds. With what pride we note the 

 growth of the luscious pie plant and vigorous asparagus. A 

 friend — a very busy man of Escondido — a great bee-section, 

 has Just told me how he helps the purse by his garden. He 

 has only three lots, all told, yet his monthly income is very 

 helpful. One month it reached .3:^9.80. His cabbages sold 

 readily for two cents per pound, when lemons sold for only 

 one cent.
