"Have you seen deer tonight" called
back the girl.

eyes, indeed" was the reply; sI've
seen darling"
"oh, pshawl" was the response to
this.
The young man is now down at the
hotel every day, for the girl who came
near killing him is the belle of the neigh
borhood; and they are holding prolonged
dialogues about deer huntington some
thing else.
Among these guides, whose services
cost three and a half to four dollars

Piles of physical manhood that have ever
seen. I do not exaggerate when I say
that one young man in particular, whose
headquarters are at Haul Smiths is quite
the handsomest fellow that could be
made. By association with refined peo-
ple he has acquired the manners of
gentleman, and his picturesque garb
and his abilities as a hunter and guide
make of him very romantic and
theatrical figure. He wears q large,
cartwheel hat, with a bright silk
handkerchief tied about it,
loose flannel shirt and tight fitting top
boots. He is about the same figure as
John L. Sullivan, but his head is remark
ably beautiful. He has dark, curly hair,
ihi6 complexion is a deep red, and his eyes
are gray and gentle. He is known as the

dark, gaunt and ragged. But in the
North Woods, as in most mountainous
sections, one must penetrate far and
diligently, and then of q sudden, when
all seems dense and Improbable, a
marvellous view, natural gem of the
earth, is flashed before ones eyes like a
change in stereoscope. As the stage
coach careens round sharp turn of the
road the glitter of roofs, the fair wave Of
lawns, the Hutter of leafy trees, and, be-
yond, the shining surface of lake, with
the blue hills frowning their shadows
down upon it, are spread under the tired
gaze, and Immediately the delight Of the
Adirondacks is realized. Then if you
come suddenly upon fellow lazing back
with cigar in his mouth, land girl with
wild flowers in her hands, while the scent
of the smoke and the perfume Of posies
miugle with the incense of their love-
making, you feel that you have surely got
at some truly rural solace.
One might as well try to comprehend
England at glance Of London as to set
down a picture of spot out OF these
mountains and let it stand for the whole.
When we think of the hundreds of miles
that a man and his guide may travel,
carrying their boat from lake to lake,
dining at one place, sleeping at another,
and reaching miles beyond any hablta-
ton the next day, we understand what an
unusual and immense wilderness this re.
gion is. The different phases of life and
character of people that find place here
would also be difficult to describe. In
the summer time the invalid is scarcely
discernible, not because of his physical
attenuation, but becusc it is his custom
to repair to secluded spot, where with
guides, cooks, nurses, and the best of
food from the city, he endeavors to I'M
pede the advancement of his disease.
The hotels are filled with healthy, jolly
and fine looking people. Around the
larger lakes, such as Upper and Lower
Saranac, Long Lake and st. Regis, there
are camps that cost their owners thou
sands of dollars, where the advantages of
isolation, of absolute freedom from social
! restraints and the romantic sensation OF
existing IN a nomadic state slightly imi'
tative OF the original Americans are com
bined with a luxury which could only
find example in the drawing-rooms of
these same people when they are at
home. Probably the most extensive
camp in the mountains at this time Is
that of Anson Phelps Stokes, of New

heart of stone to hear her.
The officer, as though determined not
to be baked of his prey, slowly ap.
preached the bedside.

"She must not be removed at present.

here and guard her door. Place guards
about the house if you choose; but !
pledge you my word that the poor child

So the matter was settled. The
officer took up his position at the door
of Ruby's chamber; another was placed
on guard upon the veranda, below
which the two windows of her room
opened.
DR.. Hall remained at her bedside.

"Oh, madam! madam" she began,

Chief Room in a japanese House.

The wealthy japanese make no display
sither in the architecture Of their houses
Or in the display of ornaments. In the
way of furnishing, their pride is the deli.
cacy of their mats and the richness OF
the satin cushions. The chief room In
the house of rich japanese is thus de-
scribed: ssThe salon was about twenty
Eve fees long by fifteen wide. At one
end, in the corner, was small raised
platform in little niche, and on 1t line
Imari vase three feet high, holding flow
ering branches of the cherry tree. Be-
hind, upon the wall, hung very Valua-
BILE, but very ugly, kakamono OF god.
Twelve blue satin foutons lay in two rows
upon the floor, and three standing lamps
stood in line between. A folding screen
was placed to protect us from draught-
and that was the entire furniture Of the
millionaire's drawing-room. The mats
upon the floor were of the whitest and
finest straw. The screen was gorgeous

gold background" The japanese keep

dogs are the only tame animals within
sound; that fresh buck hangs by its
hind feet at the back of the camp; that
the brook, whose song you can hear, is
flashing with trout, and that your dog
barking down by yonder stump is calling
you to come and observe the beautiful
partridges that he has sitting up
before him-amid surroundings of
this sort your appreciation fol-
the first freshness of life
is bound to be invigorated, if YOU are in
anything near o normal condition of
mind and body. And it is exciting on a
moonless night to be padded up one of
these narrow rivers, skirted with 1mpene-
trable bushes and weird with strange
noises, watching for the deer as he comes
down to escape the flies and nibble the
yellow lilies.
But there is the highest sort of civiliza-
ton to be had at the hotels, at the high
est prices, too. I witnessed only yester-
day the despair of a young man who had
come to the Adirondacks for cheap va
cation, but had been charmed into ask
ing divine girl to dine with him. She
was rolling up bill of about $40. It
reminded me of this bit of dialogue,
which heard last week at very high
priced Brighton Beach race-course res
taurant. .......

"Oh, it's an awful day for favorites.
You'd better take ale."
But was writing of deer shooting
not of dear eating and drinking. That
the sport is agitating to the nerves OF the
citizen I can relate for proof an incident
which came under my notice few days
since. A young man in camp on small
secluded lake was hunting the river that
ran close by. As motionless as a
statue in the front of the boat, with the
bull's-eye lantern throwing its light over
his head, and his guide in the stern pad
ding without the slightest noise-as is
wholly necessary-the young hunter had
dis eyes nXed on the snores Tor the un-
wary but sensitive deer. Suddenly he
saw ball of fire directly ahead of him.
He raised his rifle, and was about to shoot,
when his common sense reminded him

best oarsman and fighter in the woods.
A club man from New York took this
handsome fellow down to New York
few seasons ago, and wherever he went
the crowd stopped to gaze at him. He
was photographed in his cough costume,
and more than one woman in New York
still treasures that picture. The best
thing about this Adirondack Adonis is
that he dislikes being an object of admir-
alton, and some time ago he declared that
henceforth he would guide only men and
old ladies, as the young girls made him
feel like fool and he couldn't do his
work with any effect While this young
man is reckoned the best fighter in this
section and weighs considerably more
than 200 pounds,it is interesting to know
that ssBilly" Edwards, of New York, a
professional lightweight boxer, was once
brought up here, and without knowing
who he was our handsome friend Fred
willingly accepted his invitation to
put on gloves with him The
simple, good-natured guides ranged
themselves about the boat-house
at Paul Smiths expecting to see the little
fellow from the city knocked into atoms.
A more astonished set of men could not
be found than they were when Billy
landed on the big fellows neck and sent
him in heap doWa among the boats.
Fred took off his gloves and said he was
satisfied. When Billy Edwards was in
troduced as the former lightweight cham
pion of America he was looked on with
more respect than if he had been Presi-
asnt. Fred tells the story to every one
and always laughs over it, his great voice
sounding like contented lions.

York. It occupies an island on st. Regis
Lake, and to show how important it is,
let it be said that Mr.. Stokes has fifteen
Adirondack guides in his employ,
besides his kitchen servants and at.
tendants, to care for the camp and
the people in it. Other camps in this
-eiohborhood and elsewhere are of nearly
equal pretensions. AS you float by one
of these fair spots it is hard to believe
that the -throated girl with the
skin peeling from her nose who stands in
the boat house rolling up her sleeves fol-
a row on the lake, is the same fairy that
whizzed in the dance at the Patriarch's
ball last winter, arrayed in gauze and
looking as white and as frail as lily.
Occasionally we discover how our girls
store up that energy which is the wonder
of the skeptic and the physician in Janu-
ary. It is just as hard to comprehend
that the white -whiskered old man,
mounted on a donkey, is the venerable
Professor Deacons, of Cornell University,
on a summer journey of recreation. BE
conceives the sure-footed donkey to be a
safer beast to ride than a horse, and
what is beauty compared with safety2
But the rough old camp, with its dried
venison hanging alongside the fire with
the bean-pot baking in the ground, the
trout you have caught an hour ago
sputtering in the frying-pan and the
partridge you have just shot roasting
with savory perfume-that is the Utopia
of these woods, in spite of its discomforts
and inconvenience. Out on the woody
point in lake that is about mile across,
knowing that you, your guides: and your.

A Sun Dial Formed in Flowers

7 Probably nowhere in New ENGLAND, and
probably nowhere in the United States
are there more wonderful floral designs
than on the grounds of the State Lunatin
Hospital, in Danvers, Mass. The Italla1
florist and landscape gardener, ,Ettosa
Jassinari, has completed his designs fos;
the season, and shows over one hundred
different beds, of which three large ones
attract great attention.
The main one is about seventy feeA in
circumference at the base, and the foun-
dation is'a huge mound, eight feet high
In each side is grotto, with back and
sides of masonry. From the top of eacR
grotto stream of water is forcibly driven
and distributed in trickling flow to d
pool beneath, from which another founa
tain sends tiny stream into the air. IN
each interstice, also, are numerous plants
-lobeha, century plant, palm, nirem.
bergia, geranium, vinca, ivy and many
other suitable varieties. On the front d
a calendar, the year hemmed in BY q
scroll, and tie day of week and month
in an oval frame. The top Of the mound
is.fat, and on it rests a great vase, made
wholly CT plants. The vase is five and
one-haf feet high and six and one-hah
feet in diameter and contains about thres
carloads of loan. The vase is filed with
choice tall plants, so that the whole mar
velous design has quite an altitude.
sSol's Clock" are the words on another
design at one corner of the principal
driveway. A pole of growing houseleek,
placed at the proper angle and toward the
north star, casts a shadow on Roman
numerals of st. Helena set in horseshoe
of althernanthera, the center of which is
bed of blue lobelia.
Another design is in the shape Of q
mound, surmounted by handsomely
formed turret of houseleek, supporting 9
neat weather vane. In the bed beneath
are letters of growing plants which mark
the points of the compass. On the 'front.'
the weather predictions are given daily:'
The word "weather" is permanent, and
over it is placed each morning the word
"fair," cloudy" or "rainy," according
to the forecast in the morning papers, the
boxes containing the words being portaI
bic, as are those used in arranging the
on the main design. In this
bed the moons phases are also given. A
moon of proper shape reposes
in dark bed, and over it appears the
appropriate description: "New moon,"

that no animal could have such On eye as
that. Hardly had he lowered his rife
when sharp crack pierced the air, the
lantern over his head came down upon
him and he was left in darkness. His
guide called out, in language more ele-
CANT than poetic, to whoever had fired
that shot not to fire another. The next
instant boat ran up alongside the
young mans, and in the bow of it he
discovered q fne-looking young girl With
jacket buttoned up about her ears,
peak cap pulled down over her forehead
and a rife balanced across her knees.
He laughed at the idea of her shooting
the lantern off his boat, but she was a.
most in Mysteries. .r...
"I'm so sorry and ashamed" she said.
ssI never shot deer and l suppose / had
the buck fever and didn't know a lantern
from the moon. Can you ever forgive
me, sir2"
Of course, she was gracefully for
given. 49,.
Chow did you find your way heres"
asked the young man.
"Oh,. I'm living at the little hotel
down on the Big Tupper Lake, and my
guide brought me up tonight. My
brother is going down the river and will
meet me at the carry after we have fin
ished hunting"
II think I'll be down to the hotel to-
morrow" said the young man, who was
a plunger.
"But you won't tell on me, will youa"
cried the girl.
"That depends" replied the youth.
The guides padded the boats ahead in
opposite directions.

smirched with the SCOT and changing with
the noise of iron mills, dread is likely
