ROMAN CIVILIZATION.
1t Was Inferior to Ours in Many
Respects.
R0Sfnn TrnrelleI

Roman civilization was inferior 10 ours
in t%o important elements-the scientific
and the moral. Physical science in its more
advanced developments is a modern crea-
ton, and it has brought with it numerous
conveniences that tend to refine and ex-
pand our lives.
Without steam, electricity and chemical
force, the Romans were narrowed down
to very limited existence. But their civ
ilization was mainly deficient in moral en-
ergy. The old religion had died out amongst
the cultured classes. Even where it re-
tanned it's influence in any degree, it was
powerless to Elevate and purify, for the
ideals it presented for imitation-the gods
who occupied its temples were themselves
destitute of moral character.
The patriotism which had been almost
religion to The ancient Romans had died
out. The social sprit-the inspiration of
the modern leaders of men-hardly existed
amongst people who had ceased to be a
nation, and existed only as ruling class.
The civilization of imperial Rome. based
on personal pleasure, and regardless of
moral ideals, quickly fell into decay, and
succumbed before barbarous nations which,
whatever their defects, were not wanting
In moral vigor.

Chinese Landscape Gardening.

The Chinese were believed to have pos
sessed great skin in landscape gardening
from very early period, though, If we are
to Judge from the illustrations on the fa-
nous willow pattern plates, there is some
excuse for doubling the extent of that
skill. 1t is true that very ancient Chi
nese writer, Lieu-Tscheu, has some ex-
uemely sensible remarks on the pleasures
of a garden, in the course of which he says:
"The art OF laying out gardens consists,
therefore, in contriying cheerfulness of
prospect, luxuriance of growth, shade, re-
tirement and repose, so that the rural as
pect may produce an Illusion. SYM
metry is wearisome, and garden where
everything betrays constraint and art be-
comes tedious ard disraStetuL But it
was the letter rather than the spirit of
Lieu Tscheu's advice that his countrymen
followed when they elected to patrouize
the natural " and the picturesque, and
they soon reached a stage of cockneyfied
imitation of nature which Horace Walpole
himself could not have surpassed.
In 1S43 the Royal Horticultural society
sent out the eminent Scotch botanist, Rob-
ert Fortune, TO visit these famous gar
dens of China-the land to which we owe
the pcony, the chrysanthemum, the azalea,
and the camellia. He was enchanted by
the magnificent azalea clad mountains Of
Che-Kiang, one blaze of gorgeous bloom
from foot to summit, but he saw little OF
the renowned landscape gardens, though
enough to show him that much that was
fashionable in English gardening was
merely O relapse into Chinese barbarism
Indeed, as matter of fact, the hideous
system of bedding out, " which has in re
cent years been so popular in this country
is simply plagiarism from the Chinese
Those detestable cockney ribbon gardens
with their bands of red, yellow and blue
blaze of gorgeous but incongruous ant
insarmonious color-are slavish imita
ton of Chinese taste-the taste to which
we owe such artistic masterpieces as the
willow pattern" and the illuminated tes
chest. Journal

His Artificial Snnrisn.

Dairyman Wilder whose milk producing
establishment is about ten miles north of
Santa Cruz, is one of the most ingenious
men In California, and he has done whnt
no other dairyman ever attempted Every
body that has ever tried to milk COW be-
fore daylight knows what q job tits. Bossy
is generally of the opinion that there is q
time for all things and firmly objects to
being awakened and millzed when she
thinks she should be asleep. Many cows
will refuse to be milked to the extent of
kicking and lying down.
AL of these troubles have been Dairyman
Wilder's, and not long ago he determined
to overcome them. In fact, it was neces.
sary that he should, as he was often late
in getting milk to his customers in Santa
Cruz. 1t cost considerable money, but he
has more than made up for the outlay. At
present he has one of the finest individual
electric light plants in the state, and his
COWS are as easy to milk as in broad day
light
When the electric plant was in position
and ready for work, there were three big
arc lights over the center of the yard where
the cows slept at night and dozens Of 9th.
ers fixed all over the different buildings, the
entire lot capable of producing about TO-
600 candle power, enough to make the
yard as bright as day. The plant was Of
the best quality, and everything was tried
in the daytime before the surprise was
sprung on the COWS.
Itworked like q charm. The bright rays
of the light had no sooner been turned or
than the cows commenced to get up Most
of them looked surprised to sec the day
break so soon, but when the milkman or
rived with his pail they seemed to think il
wes all right and stood perfectly still whils
being milked. The light also affected the
! poultry, for the cocks commenced to CROW
and the hens went around hunting fol
nests. Ducks, geese, dogs and cats wer
ball affected the same way, and the who'll
barnyard was awake at 2 O'Clock In tht

| getting used to it, for they behave the sam'
! way now after the artificial sunrise ha
