In the Sahara.

All of ones preconceived ideas van
ish before the facts of experience. The
Sahara is not a desolate plain OF NOV
ing sand, with no signs of vegetation,
but a cultivated country, fruitful as the
garden of Eden. Like our "great
American DESERT" it has been greatly
billed, Ell Sahr, as the Arabs pro-
nounce it, is indeed vast archipelago
of oases, offering an animated group of
towns and villages. A large belt of
fruit trees surrounds each of these viii
lages, and the palm, the fig, the date,
apricots, pomegranates and vines
abound In the utmost profusion. As
cending the Atlas Mountains by
gradual slope to the region OF high
tablelands, we come to the land of the
Mozabites, or Ben Moz4b, and then
comes gradual descent for 800 miles
to the vast stretch of treeless country
known as the great desert. The rivers
have an inclination Of about one foot
In 400. Many Of the stream are dry,
the country. Gunshots are fired as
soon as the torrents appear all OBJ
jects are removed, and soon, with a
terrible noise, the Fl ood rolls on. The
Saharian city stands, as if by magic, on
the banks of the waters which rise to
the tufts Of the palm trees, but few
days only elapse ere all disappears,
leaving the district rich and fruitful.
The inhabitants are MT q migratory
people, and, unlike the tent dwellers of
the northern slope, live In substantial
houses, with thatched roofs and CELL
ings Of cane laid upon joists Of awe
wood. These houses generally consist
of but one room, and have no furniture
except mats on the floor and upon the
walls for three or four feet high. Beds
are sometimes found, but no one thinks
of sleeping on them. The walls are
whitewashed and inscribed with verses
from the Koran. The inhabitants are
made up of genuine Arabs md Berbers,
or Kabyles, as the French call them.
Jews are found In every oasis, and are
very prosperous and influential, dong
much of the trading and making up of
the great caravans. These merchants
frequently dress in very gaudy and
fantastic style, with gorgeous turban
and sleeves of different colors, one
being, perhaps, green and one red, and
the shirt a bright yellow. They are
not allowed to wear the chekia or red
woolen cap, but may wear black cap,
and can only wear black slippers,
which they must remove whenever
they step outside the ghetto, and must
step aside to the left when they meet
Moslem, and are not allowed to ride
horse. The men are handsome and the
women uncommonly pretty, and do not
cover their faces neither do the Kabyle
women. as Is the custom Of other
women of the Sahara. Among the
Kabyles of the mountain region pass
port, ssor annaya, from sheik or mar
about, brings protection and hospital
ity.

Natural and Distorted Growth.

True taste cultivates an admiration
of beautiful natural forms; false taste
distOrts these into artificial and gro
tesque concerts. A tree possessing nat
ural and graceful symmetry cannot but
be pleasing to true and cultivated
judgment; cut or sheared into the
shape of stiff cone, a hay y-cock, or q
peacock or bear, 1t becomes at once an
object of distorted unfitness. 1t Is,
however, quite common, all through
the country, to see trees, and especially
evergreens, tortured into unnatural
forms. Most common of all is TO trim
the trunk Hp to bare stem five or six
feet or more high, giving the appear
ance of trees on stills, instead of at
lowing the graceful sweep at tile lower
branches on the surface of the lawn.
Others, again, are sheared back into
the appearance of solid mass, ana
where number of trees are thus treat
ed, the door-yard appears as If filled
with a number of small Aay-stacks.
Such practices may be fifty compared
to pinchlng the human body out OF
shape, as pract,ced by semi-barbarouS
people. If the trees threaten 10 grow
to large, and any cutting back Is re-
Quired, let it be done with knife and
not with shears, so as to preserve, In
some degree at least, the natural free
ou line. In some .and ,cape gardening,
arched gsitways are represented anu
commended, where trees are bent out
of shape and sheared into unnatural
forms. Ii an arch OF vendure m ust be
had, let it be ne made of natural climb
ers and twiners, so as to partly but not
wholly conceal = properly and simply
formed structure of iron or wood. Ia
this way there would be no incOngru-
Gus distortion and obvious untitneSs oi
material to intended purpose. We
have seen at flower shows ill-directed
attempts to build temples of roses, and
sometimes they have been made into
the shapes of human beings, eagles,
flags, etc. The mind at once revolts al
the sight of solid and massive struc-
lures attempted with so fragile and
delicate materials as flowers. Nearly
as unit is the attempt TO build solid
gateway arches of delicate foliage.
There is another practice, much less
Objectionable, but still carried 100 far
the abundant planting Of weeping
trees. These are mostly unnatural TO
some extent, and if employed at all,
the most graceful should be selected,
and sparlngly introduced. They some
times assist in the variety of sky out
line. Many of them came in the first
place from an unnatural twist of a
branch, propagated and continued by
grating. We are glad to witness every
attempt at improving and ornamenting
the grounds which surrounds home,
even If these attempts may deyiate con-
siderably from the rules of criticism ;
but most pleasing of all are neat, fin
ished, and tastefully planted grounds,
with as much OF natural and graceful
beauty as can be brought together with
so much simplicity that no display OF
oddity or twisted conceit can find a
place. Purity and fitness should be
obvious, and if much care and skill
have been used in the management and
keeping they should not be seen by the
eye of the spectator.

FRUIT TREES ON LAwSs.-The ques-
ton is often asked why fruit trees are
not more generally planted on lawns
and IN gardens, instead of purely Orna-
mental trees. The idea seems to pre-
vail that fruit trees must be confined
TO the orchard or kitchen garden; yet
what can be more beautiful than the
pale pink and white of the apple bios
som, the pure white of the cherry and
p ar, and the deep rose of the peach |?
Cherry trees literally white with BIOS
SONS are of no rare sight, and what is
more charming. than the graceful
branches clad in spotless purity? Then,
too, the ripe fruit, in Thick clusters

eye than gratifying to the taste. These
are many varieties Of trees which are
planted in yards and lawns which have
no mere slightly appearance than an
apple tree, without its wealth Of frag-
rant bloom, or its showers of luscious
fruit. On the continent. fruit trees
are planted along the sides oc highways
and lanes, and the fallen produce is
looked upon as common property, pro-

large towns, where but few feet of
land are allotted to each home, and
where one would suppose that each

pear or plum tees--any of which would
be far preferable in every respect.

AGRICULTURE.

GROWING HoRsE-R RADIsH Ii we look
through our markets and see the chunky
stuff sold for hOrse-radish, 1t Is clear
that not one In hundred knows how TO
grow 1t. Horse-radish we'll grown Is
as prof able as any garden crop, but
we think there Is not much profit IN the
scrubby stuff referred TO. To have
good horse-radish, u rather heavy soil
should be chosen, but by no means
wet, though one which gardeners would
call damp and cool will be by no means
objected to. IC cannot very well be
made too rich, and If subsoiling the
ground is to find favor 1t will surely be
IN favor with this crop. Now the OBJ
ject in raising good horse-radish is to
nave long. clean, straight roots, and
good culture Is TO get these. In raising
morse radish every piece OF the root
what little OF the crown grows. GEN
orally pieces an inch or SD long are set
just beneath the soil, and one or more
ouds start up TO make crowns with
leaves, and others go down TO make \
root or roots. These are then forky or
visited and give the wretched roots we
see. The proper way Is TO make holes
with dibble, postspade or crowbar so
AS TO let the small pieces which are 20
make plants go down foot or more.

result Is thas In couple of months Il

lure. Where the plow Is used 10 clear
up between the rows they must be
wider than when grown as a garden
crop. The richness of the ground will
also regulate the distance to pat the sets
apart. If these SIMPLE hints are
followed, one need never be without a
good relish for fish, roast beef, or any
of the multitudInous dishes where a
little pugency Is not TO be despised.
But how few persons follow them,
and indeed how few have even horse
radish enough to supply family needs?
In trucking, however, it can De raised
