SrADISG GARDENs.-lti Is very commo n
practice for men who are employed to work
in gardens, especially when spading among
groups Of shrubs. to work the beds much
higher Ill the centre than at the sides.
This is wrong, as 1t throws all the rain fall
from the centre to the edges, and the central
shrubs do not GET their proper supply of
moisture. In all cases the surface should
be kept quite level. lt is a sure sign that
the so-called gardner is an ignOramus, and
does not understand his business. The
operation OF spading is considered by most
people rs very simple one which any lab0rer
can perform, but it is really test whether
the man employed to do it is practical gar
dener or only common laborer. In the
very many eases where Il regular gardener
cannot be kept, the work has to be done by
common laborer but in such eases his work
should be supervised by an intelligent EN-
plOyor, Tor the success of the garden FOX the
season may largely depend upon its being
properly done at the first. II the soil il not

ffIAtAAm.
Paris Letter In Pail Mall Gazette.

lparis Letter In Pail Mall 6Hzstte.l
A posthumous work from the pen OF
MiGhelet appeared to-day. It is entitled 1.-THE
Banquet" and dwells at considerable length
% fetes past, present and future. The author
highly approves Of public rejolcings. He
says: Il was seven years old III 1905 and six
teen at the fall OF the Empire. That long
period seems to me one continuous dreary
day. | cannot remember that it was once
fine, or that the sun rOse brightly once"--the
fact being that there was only fete about
once year, when Napoleon returned to
fnris IN trtu,5n 1E,6. after having Ind the
thousand men. Tnese rejoieings were not at
all TO the taste Of the sensitive young Niche
Tut. and could not, he observes, be compared
to the joyous fetes OF the revolution. All the
fetes oil the revolution were certainly not joy
Gus. Take, for example that which took
place on the Inauguration Of the statue Of
Brutus, and which Fouche, the future Duke Of
Otranto, thus described: Toward 10 o'clock
infie1.tie Justice let Its heavy arm fall upon
three criminals, the horror OF society; thus,
to enjoy the soft emotions Of nature and OF
holy fraternity" In his chapter on the
future the author says: "Fetes-give US
fetes." This, he adds, is the cry which has u
heart In the damp and monotonous quarters
Of industrial Paris, Rouen and Naltes, and
the deep and gloomy streets OF Lyons. Ac-
cordtng to Mchelet the press will never ex-
ercse In France or Italy more than u sec
ondary influence; because the only way OF
acting upon p ope who are essentially electric
IL by means OF oral communications Of feteB
and spectaceg. There can be no doubt Of the
love OF the French for fetes and spectaeles. At
the beginning of the Revolution, Mirabeau
proposed that there should be nine each year !;
and in this he was supported by Talleyrand
then Bishop OF Autun. Napoleon, too
although he failed to satisfy Michelet was
well aware of the necessity of minstering to
the taste Of this French. Lord Holland re-
ports that when in Egypt he foretod the
downfall Of the Directory, which government
he observed, did nothing for the imagination
OF the people. Atpreeent we have no national
fetes. Even the fee OF the BGuf Gras has
been abolished and, as religious PROFESSIONS
are prohibited In the capital, the people can
neither enjoy the Corpus Christi nor any other
OF the church festivals. And yet it would BIZ
difficult to return to the fetes OF the Revolu-
ton, with their strange denominations-to
the fete OF Copjugal LoFe, of Animals, the
Friends Of Man. OF Reajbn, Of the Supreme
Being, etc.
