Nelson's Only Defeat.

Nelson, like all the greatest COM
manders on sea or land, made his mis-
takes and his failures, but there is only
one instance on record of his having
been actually defeated In a direct at
tack. This occurred at Santa Cruz, in
the Canary islands, on July "a, 1877.
The place was very strongly fortified,
and Nelson, in the face of a fire of fifty
guns from the batteries. attempted to
storm the town by boats. The attempt
was frustrated by the strength of the
mole and the nonappearance of land
force which should have co-oparated.
A hundred and fifty men were killed
and hundred wounded on the British
side, and Nelson lost his right arm.
Two flags were also captured, and
these are still kept in the cathedral of
Santa Cruz.

When garden first becomes joyful
possibility, most people turn at once to
the thought Of roses. Now, roses have
no place in landscape gardening. As
rule they do not belong In the front
yard. This may sound shocking and
heretical, but it Is true at least so far
as the common double Powered roses
are concerned. The place for roses is
in the flower garden, and the place for
at one side by itself. Roses have too
many insect enemies. Their foliage IS
always being destroyed. For the ordi-
nary person it is not worth while to
spray them.
Probably half the plants of all kinds
sold In America by nurserymen are
roses. Everybody loves roses, but In
practice no one takes good care of them
except the rose specialist. Personally l
prefer peonies to roses for my garden.
They have larger flowers which last
longer than roses. They make a more
compact and shapely bush. have an
abundance of rich, dark green foliage,
come into bearing earlier, are harder
and longer lived than most roses, and
they are remarkably free from insects
and disease. ALI they lack Is poetry.
perfume, thorns and bugs.
But | shall not quarrel with any one
who prefers roses. If you really want
roses, you would better have them even
if you fail Wilhelm Miller in Pilgrim.

Some survivaIs of Fashion.

Man Is unquestionably a highly ra-
tional being. Still, II you travel and
observe, from the mouth of the Danube
to the Golden Gate you will find most
men wearing a coat with a useless col
lar marked with a useless Y shaped
slash and decorated with two useless
buttons at the small of the back and
one or two more useless buttons at the
cuffs. The collar. the slash and the
buttons are there In answer to no
rational need. 1t is not a common ell
mate nor a common racial need of pro-
lection against climate that they repre-
sent, but IL common civilization whose
form and ritual they mutely confess.
Over this eutire area those who aspire
to be of the Brahman caste deck their
heads for wedding, funeral and feast
with black cylindrical covering, suit
ed, so far as we can discern. neither to
avert the weapon OF the adversary or
the dart of the rain nor to provide q
seat Wherein man may sit and rest
himself And as for the women con-
tanned within this same area we behold
that the amplitude of the sleeve, the
disposition of the belt and the outline
Of the skirt all obey the rise and fall
OF one resistless tide which neither
moon nor seasons control.-Benjamin
Ide Wheeler in Atlantic.
