A FL0WERY EMPIRE.
The wondrous Garden ofJapan.

Helen Thompson thus writes in the
Brooklyn Magazine: The Spring and
Summer in Japan is full of picturesque
beauty, and yields an atmosphere of de-
lightful comfort. The skies drop glad
ness, and the earth teens with loneliness.
Its garden pictures ore changing as a
kaleidoscope. The terraced hill-sides
rank with yerdure, vie with wheat fields
bending meath their load Of grain; some
just cut and supplanted by rico, in fields
flooded with water, while others, green
with the tender shoots, are ready for
planting. When the seasons are
unusually dry nothing is left to suffer.
The reservoirs are so large, and the irri-
eating system so com plete, that Japan's
wondrous garden smiles on beneath scorch
ing rays.
The trees of Japan are wonder Here

Some of these are sixty feet high, and are
covered with blossoms from January to
May, of many varieties, from the large
pure white, resembling double rose, to
various shades of pink and red The
cherry and plum trees are cultivated
solely for their blossoms, and are trees of
rare beauty. The former grows thirty

ing to the temples, verifying the native
poet when he says: "There are snow
showers which do not descend from the
skies" The plum tree is par excellence
the poets tree. Often it is seen standing
leafless in the snow, yet adorned with
blossoms like bride. The tree bursts
into soft clouds of blorm and fragrance
in February bnt without leaves.
Along the hill-sides naples and pines
are covered with vines of exquisite lowell
ness, trailing and INTERVENING with be

semi-huid envelope surrounding the delicate It's
sues of the air and food passages, that catarrh
makes its stronghold. Once established it eats
into the very vitals and renders life but long
drawn breath of misery and disease, dulling the
sense of hearing, trammelling the power of
speech destroying the faculty of SMELL tainting the
breath and killing the refined pleasures of
taste. Insidously, by creeping on from simple
cold in the head, it assaults the membranous lining
and enveops the bones, eating through the delicate
coats and causing Inflammation, sloughing and
death. Nothing short of total eradication will
cure health to the patient and all alternatives are
termination. Sanfords Radical Cure by inhala-
ton and by internal administration has never

was allowed to stand, ana Mary Ann was ordered
Over a month ago Judge Stoddard ruled, after
