Nothing gives quicker returns 
than vines and no vines are better 
than Wild Grape, Bitter-sweet, 
Ampelopsis quinquifolia or Vir- 
ginia-creeper, Clematis Virginiana 
and Bignonia radicans or Trum- 
pet-creeper. The Ampelopsis is 
the only self climber in the lot, 
but for use on buildings the 
Japanese variety, A. veitchii or 
A. tricuspidata is also excellent, 
and Clematis paniculata, another 
nursery-grown vine, should be 
largely used where a support can 
be given it. In selecting material 
for the planting of schoolhouse 
grounds preference should be 
given to varieties that flower during school time. 
And the planting of both church and schoolhouse 
grounds must be so planned that it will practically

Such plantings will aid in a development of a 
love of refined surroundings and in the discipline 
that insures protection for the living things that make 
this world attractive and life worth living. Children 
should be taught to enjoy plant, bird, animal and 
insect life without indulging their savage instinct to 
slay. To pick a flower just to pull it to pieces or 
to throw it away is to slay it. To wantonly destroy 
useful or beautiful animal or vegetable life is a 
crime, and the inherent instinct to do so, active in 
almost every child, must be checked if the civiliza- 
tion of the Twentieth Century is to reach a higher 
plane than has so far been attained.

herbaceous plants, such as Violets, Squirrel-corn,

Asters, etc,, may fitly be introduced among shrubs. 
A sum of $25,000 was sometime since proYided by 
an anonymous donor for the purpose of maintaining 
John Wesley’s house in the City Road, London, as a 
permanent Wesley museum, the formal opening has 
taken place, says the Congregationalist. The rooms are 
three in number. Hundreds of American and other vis- 
itors annually make a pilgrimage to these rooms, which 
are to-day in much the same condition in which they 
were in Wesley’s time. Deeply interesting and affect- 
ing is the room in which Wesley died. In the front 
rooms is the high-backed, comfortable chair in which he 
used to sit and in which the president sits when presid- 
ing over a conference. On the landing stands the old 
“grandfather’s clock,” once Wesley’s and on the bureau 
the famous teapot presented by Wedgwood to Wesley. 
The lid is gone and the spout is broken, but an Ameri- 
can offered ^2,000 for the teapot. The house was fin- 
ished eleven months after the chapel, and Wesley first 
occupied it, as he says in his journal, on Oct. 8, 1779. 
The third room on the floor is the “prayer room,” which 
Wesley used to enter at 4 o’clock each morning. All 
these relics are now permanently preserved.
