Is there anything 
more annoying 
than to hear a wa¬ 
ter closet flush 
when guests are 
being entertained? 
Y ou will not suf¬ 
fer nor cause em¬ 
barrassment to 
others if you have 
installed in bath 
and toilet rooms 
the Silent Si-wel- 
clo Closet. 
Its construction has reduced the 
noise of flushing to almost nothing and 
it can t be heard outside the room in 
which it is used, if properly installed. 
The Si-wel-clc is sanitary inside 
and out, is made of Vitreous China 
which is impervious to grease or acid 
even when the glaze is removed, and 
is modeled to harmonize with any 
style of bathroom equipment.

and all of the old furniture—all together 
total but a bare $1,000 in addition to the 
original cost of the place. Much work 
has been done by the owner, whose genius 
conceived the whole and whose talents lie 
in many directions, painting being not the 
least of them. But there was much that 
he could not do for lack of time, and other 
much that he was too wise to burden him¬ 
self with. The very modest figure at 
which the place now stands, a home of 
every comfort and convenience for sum¬ 
mer — a complete heating plant is to be 
installed ere many moons—is really an 
eloquent tribute to foresight, careful plan¬ 
ning, careful buying and overseeing. 
In addition to all the beauty, lotus buds 
gathered early in the morning and taken to 
town by the doctor, bring one dollar a 
dozen every day he takes them — and as 
many as he can take! And the lilies that 
grow in such abundance that a morning’s 
picking is never missed bring fifty cents 
for the same number. So there is even a 
profit in the investment, for both the lotus 
and lilies flower generously, the latter 
yielding twenty-five dozen or thereabouts 
their first season!

are increasing every minute if the tree is 
growing at all. And if it is not growing 
at all, it is dying or dead ! 
So away out in a broad circle keep the 
work of tillage up, and if water has to be 
given, apply it down deep in the ground at 
this same point by means of holes made 
with a crawbar, into which a hose may be 
turned for an hour at a time. He likened 
the general principle of all this treatment 
to putting food and drink just out of 
reach, thereby inducing extra effort to 
reach it and developing through such 
effort desired strength and ability. Of 
course it must be within the ken of the 
person so treated ; and of course the water 
must be within the ken of the feeding root¬ 
lets. That is, they must be just touched 
and stimulated by its presence, in order to 
be quickened into pushing out where it is 
in greater abundance. 
Some one asked to be told how to trans¬ 
plant successfully little tree seedlings that 
have come up of themselves, and he gave 
us quite a lecture on just this phase of tree 
handling. For one thing—and the first 
thing — he said, never undertake to move 
a wildwood ‘‘tree” that is more than two 
feet high if it is a deciduous species, or 
more than ten inches high if it is a coni¬ 
fer ! And never move the former except 
when they are entirely out of leaf. This
