A Dream OF Landscape Gardening.

Since the visit of President Mckin-
ley and the newspaper men to Bit
more, there has been renewed interest
in Mr.. Vandcrbilt's garden of Eden.
1t is said hat Biltmore house is the
finest private residence in the world.
George w. Vanderbilt has lavished
his wealth on this place end its ada
cent park. The park is more than
twice the size of Atlanta, containing
about $4,000 acres, and the hunting
preserve, reaching to Mount Pisgah,
contains 125, 900 acres, or 1875 square
miles.
The park is all that landscape gar
deners can make it. The site i,
ideal, rolling and broken, and made
picturesque by the curse Of the
French Broad River. Twelve miles
of macadamized roads wind about
among the rarest flowers and shrubs
of the world. The mountain laurel
grows beside the rhododendron, and
the honeysuckle interlocks its foliage
with rarer vines along the borders.
Miles Of spruce and balsam are min
gled with other shrubs, and it is i'm
| possible to distinguish between the
Indigenous and the exotic. No one
can tell where nature leaves off and
art begins. The entire wonderful
variety of flowers and shrubs seems
to have sprung from the soil without
care. The drainage is perfect, and
the exhilarating air is laden with the
perfume of flowers, intermingled in
indescribable bouquet.
Biltmore house rests on an eminence
$500 feet above sea level, overlook.
ing most Of the park, with a view Of
half a hundred mountain peaks that
rise to a height of 1000 to $500 feet.
1t is a granite chateau, with an esplan-
AIDE and ramp in front. The mansion
has it's great hall, tapestry room, ban
quet hall, dining room, billiard rooms,
swimming pool and baths, and a libra
ry that fills two stories of the west
wing. The library overlooks a bow
ling green and tennis court. The
park has its golf links and its fish
preserves, a herd of 400 Jerseys, a
dairy farm, stock farm, Conservatives
and nurseries. The nurseries provide
the shrubs and trees for the park,
and the gentleman in charge, who is a
graduate of Harvard College, has at
his disposal a costly botanical library.
The farms and gardens, Conservatives
and diaries, are conducted on the most
approved scientific plan, and the hor-
ses are cared for by the best Of train
ers and grooms.
The employees of the estate, about
600 in number, are the most contented
of people. They are we'll paid and
not overworked. For their benefit
All Souls Church was built. Mr..
Vanderbilt presented it to the parish,
and pays the preacher, the ~organist,
the chorister and a choir Of 35 people.
Nevertheless, collections are taken
every Sunday, and when he is there,
Mr.. Vanderbilt oficiates as a vestry-
man and hands round the plate. The
| offerings are all devoted to charity.
The hunting preserve attached to
| Biltmore is under the care of a head
forester who is a graduate of the Ger
man school of forestry. He has Il

nursed like plants. Every year a GER

Canning Fruit.

Success in canning fruit, according
to the American Vinegar Maker, de-
ponds upon:
Using a reliable make Of glass jars,
and testing the alright quality Of
each by pouring a little water into it,
adjusting the rubber and cover and
standing it upside down.
Thoroughly cleansing all jars that
have been used, by washing them first
in warm water, then filling of scalding
hot water, to which borax, ammonia,
or washing soda have been added, and
allowing them.to stand at least two
hours before rinsing.
Rejecting all old rubber bands that
are stretched out, discolored, or in the
least hardened.
Using firm, large fruit of suitable
varieties, and having it under rather
than over-ripe rejecting all that is
crushed, over-ripe, stunted, or knotty,
and carefully preparing the rest:
Washing currarts on the stems, and
strawberries before they are hulled.
Take out a jar, set on a folded wet
towel, fill it to OVERLOOKING with boil
ing water, wipe off the neck, adjust
the rubber and cover, and screw the
latter tightly. Treat each jar in this
manner, and as they cool, endeavor to
tighten the covers about once an
hour. When nearly cold, invert. them
all, as a final test that they are air.
tight.
Wrap each jar in paper, or draw a
paper bag we it from the top, label
plainly on the outside, and keep in a
cool, dry place.
The flavor of canned fruit is greatly
improved by opening it two or three
hours before it is needed, to restore
the oxygen.
This is neither q new nor a difficult
method of canning fruit, but it is vir.
tually the same as that used by all
manufacturers of such goods. And
yet, for some inexplication reason, the
majority of preservers fail to appre.
ciate it's superiority over the method
commonly employed, and are content
to produce a third or f%ourth-rate arti-
cle-a sort of canned jam-if only it
"keeps."

a negro who had temporarily vacated
it, stepped up and said "This seat is

To Save Massachusetts Birds.

Under the Massachusetts law men
must not only stop wearing dead birds
in their hats, but must not have such
things-that is, birds-in their pos
session at all. The increasing de-
strtction of vegetation in that State,
from the shade elms and naples to
grass, by moths and grubs and worms
is creating alarm and the expense of
keeping down the gypsy moth alone
has mounted into millions. The birds
would have kept it down for nothing.
In order to preserve the birds that are
left and encourage them to repeople
the woods and fields, a law has been
passed with the foregoing provision,
that men shall stop killing and wear
ing dead birds. We never did think
much of the man who wears feathers
in a pot hat or tile. Even his SLOUGH
hat looks as we'll without them and
his bicycle cap, with plumes and stuff
ed orioles on it, is simply ridiculous.
And whether he wears them or not he
is guilty if he has caused the murder.
If he orders or pcrsuades another to
kill a bird for him to wear, or to put
into a glass case, Or to feed moths with,
OR for any purpose whatsoever, he is
as confirmed an enemy to SC 'ety and
the joys of rustic solitude as t he was
a gunner himself. The lawl4ust take
its course. even if it has to arrest the
Adamses and the Ounces and the rest
of them as they walk from their hous-
es along Beacon Street to their clubs
with dead birds in their beavers.
Boston began the war against royal
taxes on tea and windows; it began
the revolution; it began abolition; it
began transcendentalism; it began the
lyceums; it began symphony concerts;
it must continue to be sternly upright
by fighting the feathers off from every
hat in town.

The preserve has bears, deer, pleas

Mr.. Vanderbilt chose this site as
one of the most beautifuli in the world.

DISCUSSION on THE APHORISM
CARRIED OUT.
DR.. Brown Lectures Upon Nagueness
and erfection-Quotes the Address
of DR.. Burton of Yale.


Inspector General Townsend an
nounced that Prof. Meade of Chicago
University would address the teachers
at l o'clock today.
At the end of a short discussion on
the question, 'Is knowledge Power?"
DR.. Brown said that there were GER
tainly two ways in which knowledge
can be power; it may be proved in
the direction of our activities and
power in the way of increasing our
power of acquiring new knowledge.
The principle held good in this sphere
as in others; we do not get that we
may have: we get that we may give.
Vagueness and perfection was the
subject of DIR. Browns address. His
text. he said, was taken from an ad-
dress of DR.. Ed. Burton at Yale. Bur-
ton spoke of picture of Rosa Bon
hend. in which the animals occupying
the foreground We're perfect in every
particular, and wrought out to the
whole of the picture; there was n
background of pasture and hill and
ravine, and you find your eye wander
ing from the perfection of the ami
mails to the vagueness of the ravile
and the mists. 1t was a great picture
because it was the cameo work of
great painter and had something of
the vague that touched on the infini-
ties. Burton's application of this was
that every sermon should have some
thing clear that can be carried away
! with perfect certainty. But if it is
| only this. the sermon would be I'M
perfect. because it ought to have some
thing that is an outlook to the large
the vague, and should be suggestive
and shadow forth infinite possibilities.
We should walken in the pupil an
aspiration for doing the things per-
fectly. But we should have something
beyond. In the things that make for
morality. seek for the large, not the
petty moralities.
It cores back to another thing
that IN o. work under such condi-
tions rs we have here, where the
teachin@ of language is so important,
the main thing is not the language
grind. it is giving the children little
glimpse of something they want. Ae
will teach language best who succeeds
in making them feel that there are
things they want that they can get
only in English.

WHO is HE?

According to the Japan Times a
Hawaiian journalist arrived in Yoko-

visit, it is said, is to make inquiries
into the state of japanese feeling in
regard to the negotiations pending be-
tween Japan and Hawaii, as well as
the measures the former might adopt
towards the United States in connec-
ton with the annexation question.
