The prodigious gardens Of Lucullus,
who introduced the cherry, the peach
and the apricot from the Persianss were
derided by his Roman friends for their
extraordinary sumptuosity. They are re-
lated to have consisted of immense arti-
fetal towers, large sheets OF water, 81
gantic edifices jutting into the sea, ana
mountains raised where no hill had ex-
listed before. A common Roman garden
must have been a very different place II
we are to take the description given by
Virgil as at all a faithful sketch. for he
speaks of nothing but endive Gntyba)
celery (apium), melons (cucumis), mar
cissi,. acanthus. roses, ivy and myrtles.
That they had various trees bearing fruit
as well as the common wild timber OF
the country and many different kinds Of
flowers must of course be admitted, but
that all gardens up to the most flourish
ing period Of the Roman empire must
have been much alike In respect to the
plants they contained is manifest from
theta that hardly more than 70 plants
of all descriptions are noticed by this
poet, although he wrote professedly upon
rural affairs. 1t Is true that the Romans
carried their passion for flowers so far
that II became necessary to restrain IT
by sumptuary laws. and that cases OF
extreme profusion in the use of them
are mentioned by historians. The insti-
tuition Of Floralia, or hower-feasts. the
universal passion for garlands, the re-
proaches addressed by Cicero to Verres
for having made. the tour Of Sicily In a
litter, seated on roses and decked with
festoons of flowers, are a sufficient evil
dence of this taste having been carried
to an extent unknown at the present
day; to say nothing of the prodigality
Of Heliogabalus. or Of Cleopatra, the lat
ter of whom is said by Athenaeus to have
paid upward of $1,000 for roses expended
at one supper.

His Enduring Monument.

As long as American citizens live who
love their country the world will have
opportunity to hear the stirring words
written by the venerable clergyman
whose sudden death occurred Saturday
at railway station in Boston. Samuel
Francis Smith was a thorough Ameri-
can and a typical New Highlander. He
wrote many verses; his glorious dis
tinction is that he Is the author OF our
national hymn.
It is interesting to take account Of
the fact that America" was written
by DR.. Smith when he was a student
in a school of theology. He lived to
be eighty-seven years old. He was
only twenty-four when at Fourth of
July celebration in 1882 a great COM
pany of Boston children gave the hymn
its first public rendering. Wouldn't
you rather leave to your country these
patriotic stanzas than to bequeath a
mammoth fortune TO your heirs?
Oliver Wendell Holmes who was a
Harvard classmate OF DIR. Smith. made
this clever reference in a poem read at
a class reunion:
And there's a nice youngster of excellent
pith;
Fate tried to conceal him by naming him
Smith,
But he chanted a song for the brave and
the free
Just read on his medal. my country. Of
thee"
DIR. Smith was also the author OF the
famous missionary hymn. The Morn
ing Light Is Breaking" That inspiring
hymn was also a product of his early
days; millions of men and women. dur
ing his lifetime. have united in singing
its ststely measures.
Our idea Is that, in every public
school in Montana. DR.. Smith should
have a memorial hour. Teach tht
children the words of his noble hymn
direct their attention to it's sturdy pa
triotism, its manly courage. it's fervor
its hopeful tone. it's reverent i.ivoca
ton to Him in whose hands is the des
tiny of the nation. Tell the story o
the authors life; and let there be

say that this country lacks a distinct

The pretty wicker cradle;
And with his left hand in a sock
He stands beside pot of mush,
OF seething mush, of redhot mush.

The restless twins to quiet.
But, ahl his rhymes get sadly mixed
In with the corn meal diet.

This lullaby the twins both shock.
They shrek; he rocks the faster;
And from his left hand slips the sock
Into that iron pot of mush.
OF seething mush, of redhot mush,
To heighten the disaster.
In vain he tries to claw it out,
And cooks his brawny feelers;
"IIush up!' he roars unto the twins,

PRESENT STATE OF THE IRISH
Ireland Has Made Remarkable Advance
in Industries.

Ireland Has Made n Remarkable Advance
in Industries.
I have Just returned from my latest
journalistic trip to Ireland and feel that
/ can speak with some authority on the
situation there, writes p. ONeill Larkin
in Donohoe's Magazine for November. In
Industrial progress Ireland has made re-
markable advance during the past Is
years. The people wear better clothing,
better shoes, eat better food and eat IL
oftener daily and live In better and more
comfortable houses generally than they
did Is years ago, when / first investiga-
ted their Industrial condition. The land act
of 1881, with its subsequent amendments,
has enabled the Irish tenant farmer to
stand erect. Formerly he crouched like
a slave before the landlord. who held thA
whip of eviction always suspended over
his head. Now he is part owner Of the
land he cultivates. Any improvements he
makes in his dwelling, outhouses or in
the land are his own property. He can
sell such improvements to any solvent
purchaser. III
The condition of the agricultural labor
er, too, has vastly improved. Formerly
he and his family lived in cabins unit
for human habitation. Now hundreds OF
neat cottages, containing four rooms,
with slated roofs, have been built for
them throughout the country through
means of a public loan running at low
rate of interest. Half an acre of land is
attached to each cottage. the whole let at
a very low rent. These cottages are prac-
tically the property of the laborer. pro-
vided he pays the rent imposed. Flax
| raisers and linen manufacturers in the
north of Ireland are fairly prosperous.
| Small wooden factories have been en-
| larged and several new ones built in diff
ferent sections during the past is years.
| These factories are making money, and
| the towns and villages where they are To-
Gated enjoy a fair degree of prosperity.
| This Industrial advancement is quite OBJ
vious TO the visitor who remembers the
wretched conditions that prevailed In
1850.
/ regard the political situation as by
| no means unhealthy, however unsatisfac-
/ tory IL may appear. understand that
to the average outsider the situation
| looks tangled IL not disgusting. The lat
| ter sees the nationalist factions making
war on each other. instead of showing a
united front to the common enemy. But
| underneath tins war of factions the ma
tional pulse beats strongly. The general
election last July conclusively demon
| strated that fact. Notwithstanding the
| fractional strife, two seats were wrested
from the tories in Ulster; not a solitary
seat lost. The heart of the country Is
| undoubtedly sound; the head Is a little
astray. a trouble which will soon RICH,
| itself. as was shown by the way the
electors of South Kerry and West Wa
terford dealt with Healyism since the
general election. Home rule has got q
setback. but only for a short time, few
years at most.

of way for himself One of the results
OF years Of contention is to-day's chaos
in New York democracy. The gossip
Is that the senator is inclined to an
armistice. as the one possible way OF
escape from another rout next year.
The preliminary step involves the su-
preme court vacancy.
Every reader remembers how, for a
former vacancy in that court, the
president named Mr.. Hornblower, and
then Judge Peckham. and how Hill
persuaded the senate to bowl both of
them out. 1t appears THAT Mr.. Hi
has conferred with Colonel Lamont.
with the result that the president may
feel assured of confirmation for either
OF these men. II he chooses to nomi-
nate one Of them.
Meanwhile. rumor is giving this COW
eted justiceship to Senator cray, of
Delaware. There is no question as to
the senator's ability as lawyer. A
few months ago. 1t was announced
that ne enjoyed the senate and did not
care to be named for the supreme
court. But things have changed. The
November election leaves politics In
such shape that the bench is more
alluring for Senator Gray than former
ly 1t was It is figured among the
probabilities that his career In the
senate will end with the expiration Of
his present term. That will not be
until 1899. but that Is brief tenure
compared with life appointment for
n man who is fifty-five years old.

Those who have views respecting the
policy this country ought to pursue
toward Cuba should bear in mind the
for the independence of the island have
an organized government of their own.
Elections were held in every part of
Cuba under insurgent control; dele
gates took their seats in a national
convention; a constitution was adopted
and. from president down. a list of
civil and military officers was chosen.
The struggling republic has at least a
provisional government-one that can
represent Cuba in all that relates to
recognition by other powers.

Cleyeland's Disaster.

A few days ago the public had the
news OF frightful loss Of life as the
result of the explosion OF a boiler in a
large newspaper establishment In De-
troit. AS far as the Investigation has
proceeded. the blame appears to rest on
the engineer who. 1t Is claimed. was
neglectful. ~
Yesterday brought the news Of a
street cars frightful leap OF a hundred
feet from a bridge i'm the city OF Cieve-
land. The fated car ran into an open
draw. plunging into the stream below
the public seldom reads. Of disaster
more shocking in its details The mo-
torman OF the car is alive TO tell his
story-it does not tally In all its details
with what others report. He barely
escaped: IL Is hardly to his credit that
he had to be hunted up by the authori.
ties after the accident occurred.
Somebody must have been criminally
careless. Wherever the blame lies. the
sense OF sympathy win be touched and
the public will receive the distressing
details with a feeling OF sorrow.

The state department at Washington
knew ten days ago that France was
disposed to release Waller as IAN act
OF grace" The members Of the Waller
family do not appear to favor that
sort of release-they have an indemnity
in mind. and 1t is mot clear that the
act of grace would carry a. money re-
sponsibility on the part OF the French
government. 1t is not easy to get at
the merits of the Waller case. The de-
partment of state has a mass of mate
rial to examine and the evidence is re-
ported to be perplexing because of its
many conflicts. 1t may turn out that
our government will not find good
grounds on which to base a demand
for indemnity; meanwhile Mrs. Waller
is for waiting until the case is sifted.
