400 Pretty Homes and Gardens.

How general the use of photog-
raphy is coming to be adopted by
the modern magazine as a means of
illustration is shown in the an
nOuncement of the Ladies' Home
Journal that ii is about to publish
six new, distinct articles which will
include not less than 400 photographs
The idea of the magazine is to pre-
sent one hundred of the prettiest
country homes in America, to en-
courage artistic architecture; one
hundred of the prettiest gardens, to
encourage taste in Horticulture;
seventy churches decorated for festal
occasions of all kinds, such as we'd
dings, Christmas and Easter services
&C.; some forty of the prettiest girls
rooms in this country; twenty-five
floral porches and vine-clad houses
and the story Of the native wilC
flowers in America, told in seventy
five photographs. Over 5000 pho
tographers, in every part of thu
country, were employed by thu
magazine to get these pictures, anc
several thousand dollars were paid IL
prize awards for the best photographs
The choice was made out Of OveI
10000 photographs received by tn

A Mistake.

We see it stated in the papers that
the innovation which will be made in
the whisky business in this section
by the Carlisle Distillery manufactur-
ing "high wines" this season is
something unusual for Kentucky,
and that there is no other house
which does so.
Now this is a big mistake. We
know, by our personal inspection,
that there are number Of distilleries
in the State who have made high
wines for years.
For instance there are three dis
tilleries in the Sixth Internal Reve
nue. district that make these goods.
Then in the Fifth District there are
the Rugby, the West End, John G.
Roach, Bernheim Bros, and proba-
bly, others. In the Second District
there is the Mutual Distilling Co., at
Uniontown and probably others.
So, while it is something new, in
this immediate section, for a distillery
to make "high Wines" it is not an
unusual thing elsewhere in the State
