Texas to take seven Of the fifteen electors.

committees have about agreed upon a
division giving the Democrats four and the
Populists two electors 1t is also stated
that the chances Of fusion In North Caro-

In Landscape Gardening On q Par

The Chinese believed to have possessed
great skill in landscape gardening from very
early period though II we are to judge from
the illustrations on the famous willow pat

the extent of that skill. says Chamber Journal.
In 1843 the Royal Horticultural Society sent
out the eminent Scotch botanist Robert Fortune,
to visit these famous gardens of China-the land
to which we owe the peony. 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 re-

Chinese barbarism. Indeed, as matter OF fact.
