What’s the USE of 
a Hot-Air Pump? 
In a Country Residence, its use means 
all the advantages of water supply, which 
are such an agreeable accompaniment of city 
life, z. ¢., running water in every room, the 
daily bath, the resulting health and cleanli- 
ness, which always follow the free use of pure 
water-—and water is only freely used when’ 
| easily and cheaply brought to hand. 
Ina City Residence, many dwellers upon 
high ground, as well as those occupying the 
upper floors of apartment houses, suffer fre- 
quently (especially in dry seasons) from an 
inadequate flow of city water. This comes 
from lack of pressure in the city mains, and | 
is entirely remedied by the use of a Hot-Air 
Pump, which supplies the force temporarily 
or permanently lacking, 
In Case of Fire, its abundant water sup- 
ply becomes at once invaluable; especially is 
this true of country or suburban residences, 
which are in most cases isolated or entirely 
§ without the protection of an organized fire 
department. In such instances the posses- 
sion of a Hot-Air Pump gives to the owner a | 
constant assurance of security from fire. 
In the Stable, an abundance of water 
means healthy animals. Every watchful far- 
mer or superintendent knows that, when wat- 
er must be carried toa horse or cow by hand, 
the tendency always is to scant the supply. 
In the matter of watering stock alone, the 
time of one man in carrying water about the 
barn or stable soon pays the entire cost of a 
Hot-Air Pump, and this pump will put run- 
ning water in any volume in front of every 
animal in your stable every day in the year. 
For Irrigation, the same pump which 
supplies water for your house and stable will 
also furnish it in any quantity desired for your 
lawn and garden, and no argument is requir- 
ed to show what an adequate water supply 
means in the way of early vegetables or at- 
tractive flower beds. cs 
A Hot-Air Pump can now be bought as low as $108.

A Home-made Japanese Garden 
DECELE buy miniature Japanese gar- 
dens from the florists and pay enor- 
mous prices for them, but it is much cheaper, 
also far more amusing, to turn landscape 
gardener on a small scale, and make them 
yourself. For friends that love their gar- 
dens, but live in town in the winter, these 
small affairs make most acceptable Christ-: 
mas presents. I had noticed one of pro- 
hibitive price in a shop just before the holi- 
days last year and went home to ponder over 
the fact that it was merely a very charming 
arrangement of moss, white sand, and an 
evergreen seedling or two in a dull gray 
wooden box. I decided to try my hand. 
The grocer provided the box (a square one 
is best), which was sawed down so that it 
was only two and one-half inches deep, and 
prepared as you would an ordinary flat. A 
dull oak stain, and a few Japanese letters 
burnt in on the sides, soon transformed what 
had once held somebody’s superior cocoa 
into a thing of rare antiquity; and when 
filled with sand and rich earth to the depth 
of two inches, the box was ready for planting.

Made from seedling spruces, orchids and moss gath- 
ered from the woods 
The woods of our own land will afford | 
plenty of available subjects for home-made | 
Japanese gardens. Take the one illustrated | 
for instance. The seedlings of spruce were 
found during the summer in Canada, also one 
of the smaller members of the orchid family, 
the rattlesnake plantain (Goodyera repens). 
But very attractive evergreen seedlings may 
be found anywhere in the woods near New 
York. 
Perhaps the most fascinating part cf 
miniature garden making is the search for 
the suitable pieces of moss, and the divers 
forms and colors in these delicate little 
ground plants are in themselves a delightful 
study. The best kinds for the purpose are 
to be found at the base of old stone walls, and 
a beautiful collection of hills and dales, rocks 
and beetling crags, may be carved out with 
the aid of a kitchen knife. 
This scenery must be carefully arranged
