There may be more beautiful places on
earth. butI have never seen anything as en-
tranciag as ChatSworth, England. On the
day we crossed the river Derwent on the
Beely Bridge, alighted at the gates. The
surrounding lawns were occupied by groups
of people come by carriages and trains to
keep ealaday, some OF them lying under
the trees and some dancing on the green.
The working people Of England are always
welcome to this place on holidays. ltis the
grandest OF forty-six manors owned by this
proprietor. The glory Of the lordly estate
appears almost supernatural 1t seems not
so much to have been built mp as to have
alighted, and a commingling of the celestial
with the terrestrial. William the Con-
oueror gave the grounds to his son, William
Peverell. Christopher Wren, the most IA
nous architect OF the century, planned the
mansion. From 1858 until now the work
of building and enlargi1g and improving
has progressed. The hi, ,torical reminiscen-
ces are almost oyerpowering. Here Mary
Queen of Scots was for thirteen years i'm
prisoned. Here the child OF tragedies, Ara
bella Stuart, was born. The conservatoTyis
200 feet long, covering ali acre. The glass
house was built by Sir Joseph Paxton, the
designer of London Chrystal Palace. The
vast mansion is surrounded by gardens OF
every botanical and horticultural luxury;
orangeries, with entrance lion guarded, the
camelia house, the orchid house, the water
works, with dragons and dolphins and cas-
cades, and the emperor fountain, with its
wild toss of chrystalline brightness, 261 feet
high, worth crossing the ocean to witness.
Within the Mansion
is the grand staircase and floors OF mosaic
in black and white marble, walls and cell
ings with embossed leather and battle
scenes in alto relieve and bewitching with
Grinding Gibbons wood carving, tables of
Jasper and hornblende and malachite,
wainscoting of cedar, Corinthian columns,
rooms with suit of salm wood and fresco
and arabesque, the largns' private collec-
ton of paintings in the world, the old and
new masters represented, Raphael and Ru-
bens and Titan and Murillo and Rem.

ont from all other days of o mans lifetime
and stands alone for brightness and poetic
suggestion. Ten miles of foliage and stat
nary and palace and fountain and garden.
There is nothing beyond it to imagine.
1T does not seem possible that any sor,
row should ever come there But over all

golden hue out of the cloud and the corrI'

Drop of the Fountain Is Tear.
Sorrow leans against every carved pillow
and looks out from every window and sits In

owner of the great estate has lost his son; ;
