GOSSIP OF THE GUARD

HOSPITAL STEWARD STORY, OF the Tenth
Regiment, was in the city for few days last
week.
THE Washington Infantry is making prep.
arations to go into camp about August for
10 days.
LIEUTENANT BERRYHILL, of Company E,
Tenth Regiment, spent a few days in the
city last week.
CAPTAIN HENRY SCHMIDT, Company A,
Fourteenth Regiment, went to Cincinnati on
short pleasure trip last week.
COMPANY commanders received the war
rants for the appropriation of 1891 during
the past week. and are consequen tly happy.
DR. j. ROWLAND FIFE, an ex-surgeon of the
Fourteenth Regiment, died at his late resi-
dence on Butler street on Friday after q
brief illness.
RUMoRs are flying thick that a certain off,
Ger will soon become benedict and it is
presumed his absence from drill is caused
by his shyness at meeting the boys before
the happy event takes place.
L1EUrENANT KIMHEL, OF Battery B, spends
about three days a week on the range. A
number of men have qualified and he homes
to have almost the entire battery become
marksmen before the season ends.
CAPTAIN CoRBEr, of the Fourteenth Regi-
ment spent Tuesday of last week on the
range with a squad from his company. The
Captain is an enthusiastic marksman and
one of the best shots in the regiment.
COLONEL SM1rH, OF the Eighteenth Regi.
ment, has issued an order calling the atten-
tfon Of the company commanders to the
orders about rifle practice. The range at
Coleman's is in good condition, and the men
are expected to use it.
THE date of the encampment of the Eigh-
teenth Regiment has been changed from
July 80 to August to IA inclusive. The
regiment will probably leave here on the
night of August l. Not more than seven
days pay will be allowed this year.
CAPTAIN JOHN P. PENNY has been rendered
the position of Inspector of Rifle Practice
made vacant by the resignation of Lieuten-
ant A. L. Pearson. Jr. While the Captain
retrogrades one stem in rank, he will in all
probability be the Senior Lieutenant. Ac-
cording to the State code, when an officer
accepts a commission of a lower grade, his
rank will begin from the date of the former
commission.
COLONEL n. NJ. SMITH has issued an order
dividing the Eighteenth Regiment into two
battalions. in accordance with general orders
No. 6 from the Adjutant Generals Office, to
comply with the new drill regulations The
first battalion consists of Companies A. c,
E and F and the second Companies B, D, G
and H. Major j. Conrad Kay has been as
signed to command the first battalion and
Captain R. w. A. Simmons the second. The

This spring toilet of Paris, if gay, is still
a serious business, because of its extent
There are over 300 acres within the walls of
the city to be cared for. This space is di-
vided into squares, boulevards, gardens and
parks
The squares of Paris are of modern origin.
The first one wss made 40 years ago, when
the city began to be remodeled The first
suggestion of scattering small open spaces
at equal intervals all over the city was
greeted with derision. 1t was Utopian,
impractical. But one square was made
around a picturesque old gothic tower which
the city wanted to save-and everybody
was SO charmed that the clamor for others
became unanimous. Since that first square
in 1856 some IS have been opened and two
large ones are now making Every quarter
of the town has its own open space, and
do not know of a spot where fve-minutes'
walk will not take the poorest as we'll as
the richest into green place furnished with
seats and running water and cool with
shade.
Where the Parisians Promenade.
But the Parisians love to walk as well as
sit in the shade, so they have inscribed at
intervals within the circle which the city
makes two great lines of boulevards lined
with large and fourishing trees. Besides
these two circles there are various short
avenues of great luxury, such is the avenue
of the Observatory, the splendid court Of
the Queen, relic OF Marie de Medicis, and
the new boulevard of Richard Lenoir, with
its quadruple rows of trees and with gar
dens end fountains running its length.
The so-called gardens of Paris are not
arranged so fairly as the boulevards and
squares They are most of them relics oi
the days of the Kings and mobiles, and were
placed where we find them to-day 10Y the
arbitrary will of these privileged beings,
not as the new open spaces tnave been
located, to give the greatest advantage to
those of the greatest need. eSome OF these
gardens are famous the world over. Who
has not heard of the Tui'Ieries, the Lu1em.
bourg, the Champ-El ysees, the garden OF
the Palais Royale. They are, without
doubt, the mostsirlteresting places OF the
kind in Paris, and the most popular.
Two importar1t gardens are the scientific.
One is the Famous Jardin des Plantes, q
combined geological and botanic garden,
and the sjEte of various important scientific
schools, museums and libraries. This garden
lies ipI the east of the city. Equality has
too strong hold on the French mind to
permit the east side to possess more than
sthe west, SO several years ago tract Of

Tho Promenades and Grave Yards.
There are two features of Paris which
really belong properly to Ter promenades,
though not primarily for that-her quays
and Notifications Both are clean and beau
tiful, and are used cop.stantly by those who
dwell near them.
The cemetery, v'hich with us is such 8
favorite promenade, Is of no use in Paris.
A French cemetery is a monument of ugli.
ness It is crowded, inartistic, distressing.
Nobody walks in it save to paw his respects
to the deeId or to hunt epitaphs. The old
fashioned gallant whose great delight is to

pretty grave yards would have no chance al

are 60 of them, and each must be drained,
repaired and painted. 1 never fail to hang
with other loungers over the stone rim and
watch the process. The moment of greatest
interest is when the water disappears and
one can see the debris accumulated. Ihave
always been amazed that there is so little.
A beer bottle or two, broken pipe, per-
haps an old shoe, that is about all, save the
mud and sediment. In one of our Ameri-
can cities there would be CARLOAD of stuff.
The Parisians know how to care for their
citv.
The putting of new trees in the place of
the sickly or dead is another feature of the
spring cleaning which never fails to attract
the Idle. The transplanting of large trees
has been carried to great perfection here.
The process roughly outlined is the follow
ing: A trench is dug about the roots, leav-
ing mass of earth of about five cubic feet.
This mass is enveloped firmly in coat of
pine branches, or, if it is a rare specimen,
In one Of thin Stats fastened together with
cords. This envelope prevents the earth
giving away and exposing the tender
rootlets The transplanting wagon is now
rolled over the roots, and tackling of
boards and chains fastened under and
around the mass By means of pulleys the
tree is then raised above the surface of the
ground. the trunk is steadied BY ropes, and
the wagon, stately tree rising from its
middle, passes down the street. Each tree
Is surrounded by a system Of drains, and its
roots are protected at the surface by an iron
grating " hich gives it air and water. Trees
thus transplauted and treated rarely die.
The Municipal Hot Houses.
The Parisians are not more proud Of their
S. 500 trees than they are of the thousands
OF plants which blossom from the first
March c-ocus to the last November dahlia
al over the city. This lavish adornment
looks like an awful expense, but, thanks 10

not so rad as it .eens. Tie ls4eest of these
establishments c'vcrs an area of nea'ly FIVE
acres, and prydSces arpuaiiy 5000 600

for the industry of Excepting boarders" has
come to be one of magnitude in both towns.
For that reason, why would not one or
more of those large young peoples homes or
clubs, now becoming so common In London,
be a popular thing here? A large building
on the plan of an immense hotel, with the
lower floors given up to reading rooms, otfices,
reception rooms, billiard rooms, dining
halls, etc, while the upper stories are en-
tirely arranged in small suites of rooms,
each consisting of sitting room and alcove
bedroom would be popular. In London
these are thoroughly provided with al! con-
veniences of electric lights, electric bells,
heat, artistic and substantial furnishings.
ETC., while the building throughout has
all modern Improvements and appliances,
elevators, fire escapes, proper sanitary ar
rangements, etc. The rooms are let at
prices ranging from 50 30 to 81 90 q week,
have the choice of taking their meals in the
building or outside These with proper and
judicious management are said to pay
good round interest on the money invested,
while hundreds of young people employed
in Offices, stores etc, have chance Of living
comfortably and really luxuriously within
their income.
Seriously Considered in New York.
I understand that there is already talk
and plans for erecting such buildings in
New York City, and if there why not here?
Pittsburg is full of busy, enterprising, am
bilious young people who would hail such
movements with enthusiasm and promote
them by immediate and liberal patronage.
When we remember also that in Junction
City, Kan, there has been in operation
since January, 1891, a cooking and eating
club, composed and upheld by the most
prominent people of the place, and that
they have successfully accomplished tho
main object set forth in their constitution
and bylaws to "reduce the annoyance and
expense of housekeeping by cooperation
and consolidation" we must really begin to
look to our Eastern laurels, or rather to tho
proper maintenance of that favorite slangy
boast that whatever goes on Pittsburgers
are "'always strictly in it.
When we allow ourselves to imagine q
goodly proportion of our population living
in 'Beaconsfeld Terraces" enjoying every
modern convenience and luxury at nominal
prices, another portion occupying young
peoples homes or clubs, and yet others CO.
operating IN a sort Of family club life, or
rather putting Bellamyism to practical use
when the Ladies' Health Protective As
sociation shall have evolved pure air and
clear skies as result of the earnest efforts
now being put forth, all this forms such
dream of happiness that we return re-
luctantly to the contemplation of life as it
il in Plttsburg in the year of our Lord 1892.

ENcouRAGEMENr FROM A PRIOR

Tho Story of Columbus Reception at Santa
Maria de Rabida
Standing high on the white shores in the
Southern part of Spain, near the little town
of Palos. is Franciscan convent dedicated
to Santa Maria de Rabida It is but poor
place, and even then, in that out of the way
part of the world, its poverty must have
been conspicuous 1t fell into ruin early in
the present century, but was restored in
1856. At the time Columbus left Portugal
the prior of the convent was Juan Perez, a
generous man of broad views and consider
able cosmogrsphical lore. His life on the
coast had thrown him in contact with sailors
OF all nationalities, and he had kept pro-
gress in geographical science.
Few applied for shelter and food in that
out of the way place, and it was therefore
a matter Of surprise to him when tall
stranger, with lordly bearing, leading a
little boy by the hand, asked for relief A
brother of his wife lived near Palos, and it
was probably to visit him that Columbus
went there. Keeping the wanderer and his
child for few days, Perez soon discovered
the loft aspirations OF his guest, and, be-
coming impressed with his ideas and the
extent of bis knowledge, he summoned
many of the learned men of the neighbor-
hood, including the city physician and
wealthy vessel owner of the name of Pin
zen. One of the mariners, Valasio by name,
strengthened the views of Columbus in the
minds of his auditors by telling of a strange
land he had seen 80 years before. when his
ship had been blown a long distance to the
northwest of Ireland.
The friendship formed in this convent
nurtured the falling hopes of Columbus and
the fame of his project spread rapidly
busted himself in endeavoring to obtain an
audience for Columbus at the court

a proposition. They will be obliged to
master it, however. or yield their places to
cleverer, more generous wits. Plenty of
open spaces are to be as necessary features
ofthe future city as plenty of pure water
and sewerage.
The city of Paris is the most shining e1-
ample in the world of the value of this
theorem. To appreciate fully her lungs
one should see her in the month of June
Her annual toilet has just been finished, and
she is in all the radiant freshness and per-
fection of her charms. This making of the
toilette de Paris" as a time-honored e1-
preston puts it, is merry sort of work. In
park aud garden and square it goes on
through the months of April and May. Seats
are repainted, dead or broken sod is patched,
walks are freshly sanded, shrubs and flowers
are set out.
Cleaning the Fountain Basins
One of the most interesting parts of the
work is cleaning the fountain basins There

it Is now a perfect masterpiece of the
English style of gardening.
Buttes Chaumont and Montsouris are
chiefly interesting as examples of what
good gardening can make of barren places
Both sites were originally hopeless-looking
wastes The first added to its dreariness
most unsavory traditions. The gibbet of
the middle ages stood on one of its heights,
and its irregular, rocky surface (it had been
a great quarry) concealed half the rufians
of the time. Here also the rubbish of the
city was carted, and here were the slaughter
houses. To-day Buttes Chaumont is, acord-
ing to my way of thinking, the most pic
turesque park in Paris.
The Tracadero, with the Champ de Mars
just across the river, are relics of the expo
sitions of 1873 and 1889. If Chicago comes
out of the Worlds Fair with as great a
practical proof of the value of an exposition
as this park, there will be greater rivalry
than ever for the next great show. Before
the expositions the space was a barren,
sandy tract. To-day it is the favorite prom
enade of large part of Paris 1t is les
son not only for cities, but for towns which
hold fairs and races. Why not make of
such grounds something besides eyesores in
the landscape?

pains vi eUOub dClcs cdCL, WHICH, nave

Seven Millions for Public Pleasure.
OF course, the making of all these places
has cost pretty penny. 1t is estimated
that the work of putting the two great
parks in order, of opening the three new
parks, of decorating the Champs Elysies,
and of laying out the first 25 squares cost
y, 600. This great sum has done more
than to give sunshine and pleasure, fresh
air and freedom to the poor and rich of
Paris 1t has had its material results
Land near the Park Monceau which before
its renovation bought for $40 q square
meter is now worth $50; that rear the ave-
nue. Bois de Boulogne which was formerly
sold at from 30 cents to 81 30, now brings
from $40 to $40 the meter. 1t is SO the city
over.

could be made it would be found that the

THE STORY OF A WILL.
The Transfer Of Property Valued at 2,000..
QOOL Effected by a Clever Forgery.

The Transfer OF Property Valued at 2,O00.-
QOOL Effected by Clever Forgery.
Adolphe de Ia Boussiniere, Royalist,
left 1000, 900 francs to nephew and cousin,
passing over his S0-year-old brother be-
cause he was Republican. Soon after the
legatees took possession a new will, unim-
peachable in orthography, was discovered,
leaving all the money to the brother. This
effected transfer of the property, says the
New York Sun.
This will had been brought to the brother
by notary named Guyard, who obtained
a promise that he should receive halt the
fortune. 1t had been forged by a Gtho-
grapher named Charpentier, who from q
mass of Boussioniere's letters had taken all
necessary words and transposed the writing
upon new paper. Nothing would have
been discovered had not Guyard, being
greedy tor more money, begun to write
anonymous blackmailing letters to the
brother, who innocently showed them to
the police. The case was investigated and
the will discovered to be forgery. The
two criminals were sentenced to prison for
ten years, and the brother, who was, in
fact, wholly guiltless, was merely forced to
give the property back to its rightful
owners.
