HOW MoNBYED MAN MAKES HIMSELF COMFORT
ABLE.
From the St. Louis Times.
One of the most enjoyab days have spen
in England was a visit to Mentmore, Bucking
hamshire, the seat of the late Baron Rothschild
and still the homo of his widow. had know,
all my life of the almost fabulous wealth of pt
Rothschilds, but had no such vivid conce1'fou
Of the reality as I.broag6s away vrlsA s.-y,.---
The estate comprises $4,000 or 20, 700 'FoS "a
the finest land OF this famous shire, Inc aP
proach from Cheddington station, ON wnich
it is distant about two miles, is through
magnificent lawn leading to 'oooed accllVi'
| ty, upon the summit OF wfch the mansion
stands. From the tower tb view is one oil the
finest in the Midland co,nties, embracing on
one side the ancient ma .or anu villageof Wing,
on another the mxnorof Triug, and on third
the historic site of Ivanhoe. How the course
of the worlds history has been changed by the
blow which an ancestor of John Hampden
struck the Black Prince, the victor Of Crecy
and Poctiers, for which "Trlng, Wing, and
Iyanhoe" were forfeited In the distance is the
vale of Aylesbury, and far away IN the ridge
of the Chiltern Hills the monument of the Duke
of Bridgewater bounds the range of vision.
Tring Park, owned by another of the Reths
child family, is said to be second in the beauty
of its garden only to Mentmore; but this had
no time to see. The subtropical gardens, vege
table gardens, the Fountain garden, and the
Italian garden occupied US Tor hours. The first
is second, suppose, enU to the Royal Botanic
Gardens in Kow: tho second embraces, with
the fruit pa rde-s, about twenty acres, the whole
nroceeds u which are consumed in the man.
sia-.
In one Of the numerous gra peries, SO arranged
as to furnish fruit every month in the year,
saw a single cluster of grapes which would
weigh six pounds, the berries on which were
about the size of good, large plums, and the
most luscious | ever tasted. Oranges, figs,
pineapples, bananas, and other tropical fruits
consumed in the mansion, are all grown in the
Conservatives of Mentmore. When the Baron
ess is absent yachting in the Channel or at her
London house, orders by telegram are sent to
Mentmore daily for the supplies required.
The vases in the Fountain and Italian Gar
dens cost each FL 900. The statuary is all of
the most costly kind, executed by the first mas
ters, many ef them copies Of originals which
saw in the Louvre or in the British Museum
The great hall, which from the entrance SEEM
ed to me about 20 by 80 feet, is filled with vases
and statuary. Its contents must represent
value of not less than fSOO,O0O. We were not
less than three hours passing through the
ing of each sumptuous. Some idea may be
formed Of the whole from the furniture of sim
gle bedroom, one of the many great chambers,
costing 925 900 or 100000.
In the dining room and baronial hall the
furnishing exceeding 100000 each. Costly
cabinets of the time of Louis XIV. of ebony in
laid with ivory or gold; jewelled blocks, made
of solid gold diamonds, rubies, and sll sorts oil
precious stones; walls hung with the costliest
tapestry of the time of Louis XIV, or covered
with the richest needle embroidered satin, may
give some idea OF the wealth lavished on this
more than princely mansion. The costlles'
paintings adorn the walls, and the most skill
full and expensive workmanship is displayed
upon the ceilings. The idea of the Baron seems
to have been to build and furnish mansion
such as no other person in England, excep
perhaps the Duke of Westminster, could hops
to rival.
The stud is said to contain more high bret
horses than any in the world. 1t embrace
thirty-fve hunters and as many racers. Nom
of which l heard were less in value than $500
while many Of them run upinto the thousands

Mentmore through an acquaintance made
England. The grounds are on rare occasion
open to visitors, but ordinarily there is no &C
cess to the mansion. 1 saw, believe, ever
room in the house except the strong room
where the treasures are kept during the at
