JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN.

JOSEPH CIAMBERLAlN. com p n m en- {
than most men now anticipate. 1t is
hard to tell whether "Orchid joe" as
he is called sometimes in England, was
only joking the reporters or whether he
sincerely holds the roseate views ascribcd
20 him, but if such amicable sentiments
could be guaranteed to result from all 'in-
ternational marriages" the comfy of ma
tions might be greatly promoted by en-
couraging foreigners to espouse our Amer
lean girls 1t is to be feared that there has
been somewhat of n sentiment here against
such course. Now, however, that we
have seen how much good may come of it
we may have to revise our opinions.
Mr.. Chamberlain is tolerably well known
in the United -tates as the English fisher
les commissioner who came over here in
1887 to negotiate "a treaty and returned the
following year to marry the beautiful
daughter of Mr.. Endicott of Massachusetts,
President Ceveland's first secretary of war.
His popularity in Birmingham, which he
represents in parliament, the immense for
tune he made there in the manufacture of
screws his prediction for orchids and his
desertion of Gladstone were all sufficiently
exploited at that time, and his political
career has been watched with more or less
curiosity since.
The records proclaim Mr.. Chamberlain
to be 81 years Of age, but he does not look
it, though he has a slight stoop in the
shoulders. His features are fine and clean
cut, and he still sticks to the monocle and
side whiskers that old pictures of him
made familiar and has the same imperturb-
able air and impassive demeanor. His
manner is coldly courteous, as is the habit
Of successful men, and his heart does not
go out to our great, free people, after the
manner of leading men in other lines who
come seeking advertisement and dollars.
His son Austin, who accompanies him, and
who is also in parliament, is younger copy
of himself monocle and all.

IN PICTURESQUE PERTHsHIRE.
HIr. Gladstone Spends His Vacation a
Blnckcraig CASTLE.

Mr. Gladstone Spends His Vacation at
Blackcraig Castle.
In 1.-THE Fair Maid of Perth" Scott de
scrbes perthshire as the fairest and most
picturesque of Scotch counties. Mr.. Glad
stone evidently agrees with the great novel
list, for he chose to spend his vacation this
year at Blacl. craig castle on the banks of
the Ardle a retreat which he selected be-
cause of the beauty of its environment,
aided somewhat in his choice perhaps by
the fact that with postOtlice and telegraph
only mile from the gates communication
with the ends of the earth is merely mat
ter of few minutes.
The castle is an old looking structure,
though it is really a modern building, dat
ing only from lS4S. 1t was built by the
late Patrick Allan-Fraser after plans and
ideas of his own and under his own super
intendence. One of his notions was to pre-
serve all rough and weather beaten stone
surfaces as much as possible, the more
lichen covered the better, and these were
invariably turned outward in the walls,
the result being a structure that looks a
hundred years oder than it really is, a de-
fusion that is assisted greatly by the ivy
which has taken so kindly to the walls.
The rooms of the castle are for the most
part small, too much space being given up
to spiral staircases and lobbies. The draw
ing room, however, is spacious enough,
high i'll the ceiling, well lighted and hand
some. The dining room, in the basement,
is lower and somewhat less imposing. The
furniture of the house is all antique and of
foreign manufacture and Mr.. Gladstone,
who is somewhat Of a cOnnoisseur in such
things, expressed his appreciation Of it,
/ The garden is not at all pretentous, but
has a sundial which shows the difference
between Blackcraig and Greenwich time.
The house is barely stones throw from

the highway, but is quite secluded because
of the number of sturdy trees about the
place, which, like the house, look older than
they are, every one of them having been
planted since 1911. One of the curious fea-
lures of the place is IA bridge which spans
the Ardle, which is surmounted by cas-
tellated house with transverse archway
beneath it for IA carriageway This bridge
is of later date than the house, having been
finished only in 1885. Some of the stones
Ised in its construction are ~ feet long and
feet in width. They are of a peculia; Y
