a long look at the face OF his late pris-

massive muscles Of the chest were swOl-

Winters tried artificial respiration. but
the heart gave no response. Then he
carefully placed the sponges connecting
with powerful battery and turned on
the current. For a moment there was no
change. then the livid hue OF the face
began 20 darken. and finally changed 10

from the depth Of the chest, the body

had made keen his sense Of self-preser-
Yation. and he was quick to act.
The new vitality surged through his
veins and gave him strength, he moved
on the table. Winters. startled from his
dream OF scientific eXaltation, saw his
danger and I'm second felt the hands OF
this revived demon at his throat, the "a bile

life. He grasped a long surgical knife all

The execution was celebrated as a gala

AT noon one may be obliged to resort TO
glnghams and muslins. and for chilly, damp
evenings soft light silks best fill the bin. -
All sorts of light extra Jackets have
made their appearance in pique, loosely
woven tweeds and serges of all colors In
the cut of the jacket, though. there is a
universal sameness. They are all short
ana loose with very little fullness at the
back and none on the hips, and the sleeves
are moderate to an extreme at times.
AT the shops they have anticipated the
great popularity of the silk blouses. and
mere never has been quite such an unlim-
i'eu stock of beautiful silks to choose
from. The newest soft India silks are
printed with rich borders running along
one side of the goods. A piece with a
Dackground Of golden-brown has an all

border which is three inches wide. is gor-
seous in bright oranges and light yeliows

strange enough, when these silks are
fashioned into blouses they are subdued
enough for any occasion and are espe-
V'ally suitable for travelling.

The story of the Garden.
From the Quarterly Review.


The story is an old one Bacon reminds
US that God Almighty first planted gar
DEM" and, if it was the duty of our first
parents ito dress that garden and to keep
it," so, assuredly, has the love of garden
ing, of flowers, and of herbs occupied a
place in the hearts Of men, as in their
minds, from the beginning of the world.
No class has escaped, and the spell has
fallen at one time and another upon kings
and prophets, philosophers and poets, up
on men of every calling, creed. and occupa-
ton while the sympathies of men of sci
ence and learning have been frequently
enlisted side by side with those of labor
ers and artisans. To go back to the Bible
story is to find this love of the garden in
Deuteronomy as in Genesis, in the writ
ings of Solomon as in the words of Isaiah:
it makes itself evident in the works of
Eurlpides, of Aristotle, of Theophrastus,
Of Quintilian, and 1t comes out again and
again in the verse of Virgil and in many
a glowing passage of Pliny.
In the best days Of the Roman empire
and the garden Of the Roman villa must
have possessed many peculiar charms long
before gardening was thought Of in these
islands-the science of horticulture was al
ready widely practiced; the love of fow-
ers was common to men; and, were we
able now to look into the gardens of the
villas of those days, we should see ter
races and statues and glistening marble
fountains, gorgeous yet familiar flowers.
and tangled masses of creepers, and beau.
tifully kept paths leading out of the bright
sun, where the lilies grew tall and the
palms waved, into the deep shade Of the
lex, the laurel, and the olive, Pliny's gar
den may have been OF this character and
also Virgil's at Naples, or at his country
house at Nola, for he loved to have flow
ers about him. Horace was a townsman
first, but he too, delighted in his retreats
in the valley of Ustica and at Thur, and
Ovid carried the love of the beautiful with
him into his exile.
1t is the same all through; and, whether
we read Of the gardens OF Alcinous or OF
the Hekperides, of those Of Maecenas or
Of the rose gardens of Midas, we hear al
ways Of their charms and their fascina-
tons while, If we require an instance of
the spell which the practice OF the art Of
gardening has ever exercised we shall
find one in that familiar story Of the smile
Of pity on the countenance OF Diocletian.
when he looked up from the cabbages he
had planted with his own hand and re-
marked that he was no longer 70 be tempt
cd TO resume the purple. now that he had
once tasted real happiness.

The gowns laid stretched out in the
piece and selections were being made by
these French people who are paid enor-
nous sums for exercising their taste in
colOrs and fabrics. The gowns We're for
a great deal Of money. for their choice
was nearly all FROM the pierced materials
that cannot be expected to hold their
popularity forever.
The prevailing hue, as you entered.
brought TO mind a violet patch where
viOlets are grown for their size and beau
~. There they lie with their faces turn
ed up through green leaves. The colors
were purple, lavender, heliOtrope and all
shades Of that order. And the cOmbina-
ton cOiors were all touched with green,
hunters green, apple green, any kind OF
green that had no look OF blue in it, These
greens We're all taken 10 the sunlight and
back to the electric light, then put under
the gaslight, TO be sure there was not a
hint Of treachery in them.
This modiste told me that all things
were to be in suits for this fortuna e
young lady. She was to have slippers,
stockings, fans, parasols. and reticules
and all the little extras of toilet for each
and every gown. These extras cost more
than pretty penny in Paris. and those
who think they are picked up "for a
song greatly mistake. and in the trous-
seau of millionairess they cost a for

name Of every variety Of fruit and vege-
table In common or uncommon use,
scratched his head and mentally ran over
the list of summer apples. He asked her
IL she had not mistaken the name of the
apple she wanted. The woman gave him
TO understand that she knew what she
was talking about.
Madam" said the dealer. Il shall have
to admit that / have never heard OF that
kind Of fruit before. 1t surely cannot be
on sale in the street or 1 should have
known something about It,"
why, the street Is full OF them. They
are as numerous as any other variety

The dealer again ran over the list Of
apples, more carefully than he did the
first time. Then he looked at the woman
and caught her smiling quietly.
II really cannot see where the Joke

Il am not joking" replied the woman,
