FLOWER GARDENS IN ITALY.
Some of the Effects of Rare Beauty in
 Various Villas

Some of the Effects of Rare Beauty in
 Various Villas
 The Villa Mutt had once the most varied system of flower gardens of any villa in Italy. The house is literally surrounded by them, all at different levels, and one might walk out of any story of the house and find ones self in a charming garden. The villa has now gone to almost absolute decay, and only the vaguest outlines of the ar engagements of these gardens can be discovered. There is therefore very little there which could be so repro duced as to convey any idea of what had been. The ''bosquet" is on a ter race resting above the upper garden, and is reached by a fine stairway, which begins in full sunlight and ends in the heart of the grove in the densest shade, The reservoir is above this, and has seats about it. There are two villas in Frascati belonging to the Borghese family, one of which, the Villa Taverna. has been kept up as family residence, and the other, Mon- dragone, is now occupied by Jesuit school. The palace and the scale of the gardens of the latter are of great size; but with the exception of fine terrace in front of the house, and an avenue of expresses which leads up to it from the public road, there is noth- ing left but architectural details The walls and fountain of the old garden still exist, and also a pavilion and col onnade of remarkable dignity at one end of it; but the razed parterre is now used as playground for boys.
 The Villa Taverna has very charm ing flower garden, which is reached from one wing of the house. It is raised above the road and is, in fact, inclosed and supported by architecture so that it seems to be literally an apartment of the house. The central fountain here is a very handsome one surrounded by laurels cut in circular form. There are some interesting fountains let into the wall, and the balustrade which con- meets the garden and the house is a very good one.
 With such magnificent views, and with slopes so delightfully."- accidented, it seems it would be difficult for an art ist-gardener not to produce beautiful results, particularly as the Italians in their construction of summer villas rarely allowed ideas of convenience to interfere with their desire to produce a beautiful effect.

Relief for Cyclone sufferers.

At the request of Gov.

 Miss Barton describes the condition of the people of the Carolina sea islands as wretched indeed, yet likely to become worse. The en- tire coast belt of islands, extending south from Jamaca island to Hilton Head island. with 1000 population, has been devasted.

There has been much discussion in
