The ballot for the municipal election is similar in form to the primary ballot but contains only the names of the two candidates receiving the highest number of votes for mayor, and thf mimes of the eight candidates receiving the highest number of votes for commissioners, as stated above.

With the abolishment of the alley and the back yard, as it was known a few years ago, there has come a Si-eat change In the character ol' the iservlce and of the noise. In large cities, where the houses are of necessity set close to the 'street, the alley was the simplest so- to the problem of the ash and igarbage man, but as more of us move Unto the suburbs where the yards are large and gardens are the hobbies of the owners of the home, we come ito liv.e more In the open und have become averse to the sight of laundry flapping In the breeze or mops and brooms hanging by the side of the door and the garbage and rubbish cans a constant eyesore. In many localities, Angeles Herald says, tho fences have gone entirely and the back yards are made into a veritable park where the lawn la continuous, one's individuality being expressed only In the flowers planted and these must conform to a certain extent with the general plan. By many, however, this ia considered undesirable, as is, of course, very little privacy procurable fences are converted into lings beauty covered with vines. In this way you have a splendid background for any flowers you desire to plant.

Smith, Compt's Sol. TMSNGTH metamorphosed into pleasant place-. In many of the newer houses the back entrance has become the side door and Is screened from view of passers on the street by a lattice fence cunningly covered with climbing roses, wistaria or some vines. If an artistic gate is built close to the door, many steps are saved and the whole adds to the breadth of the house. This leaves the back yard for per-' gola and flower garden and gives an exquisite view from living room or room By partitioning oft' a portion of back, porch, to be used exclusively for the garbage can and rubbish box, these unsightly objects are hidden from view and one of the hardest problems is conquered.

If the garbage can Is emptied often. carefully cleaned with strong, hot suds or lye, there can be nothing repulsive about such a compartment. Prize Offered for Ideas.

Iron Road Pavements. In the last few years decided Improvements have been made in highway construction, The development of the automobile has done much to further new discoveries in road making. The French have begun of a paving material congistingi-ll iron shavings, or iron excelsior bedded in concrete. The -metallic Bhsvlngs come in sheets or masses are broken apart with oulty owing to the interwln.tng'of. the filaments, and -which are somewhat elastic.

In the construction of paving blocks a mold is filled with these iron shavings and the interstices are filled with cement sufficiently fluid to penetrate the entire mass. The blocks thus formed possess great strength and reeistance to abrasion. They are also elastic under blows of jarring. They are said to have a resistance to compression of about 160,000 pounds to' a square inch, and a tensile strength four times that of cement. The cost of construction is said to be same as that of ordinary macadam.

Municipal Fruit Trees. There- is -no need for an ordinance in St. Paul providing for the planting of fruit trees in parks as proposed by Emerson, the Chicago alderman, according to Superintendent Nussbauner of the park system.
