You can easily move your furniture about on the waxed 
ors, the rug or matting, without injury to them and with a 
tal absence of noise. That is, if the furniture is fitted with 
Tips 
Casters 
They are made from the finest long fiber carbonized wool, fitted together by a labor 
process without the use of any glue—will support the heaviest weight and last as long as 
the furniture itself, and yet can’t scratch. For the drawing-room chairs and tables, etc., the 
tips are used — put on in a minute with a hammer—can’t split wood and can’t come ofi 
The casters for all the heavier furniture will support any weight. Tips—4 for 25 cents. At 
all dealers’, or direct by mail on receipt of price. Fit up your furniture—whether new or old.

the morning glories, and the salvias. All 
these welcome visitors are brought by my 
garden—sometimes it even induces the 
butterflies to call. 
Perhaps the greatest mission of this 
garden is as a playground for our chil¬ 
dren. A child is unfortunate indeed if he 
must grow up apart from natural beau¬ 
ties, and even as small a space as a back¬ 
yard can give the recreation found among 
growing things. 
Ruskin has said: “It is at your own 
will that you see in that despised stream, 
the ugly gutter, in the heart of the foul 
city, either the refuse of the city, or the 
image of the sky—so is it with almost all 
other things that we unkindly despise.” 
So, too, it depends on us whether we 
shall see in the despised city backyard, a 
wilderness of weeds, and an urn of ugli¬ 
ness, or an image of the great world of 
life and love and beauty.
