The world is teeming with imitators. In

one generation after another initiate this

stock phrases. regardless sometimes of the
rules of grammar, which seem to have be-
come part of many of the college courses.
When it comes to mannerisms, fads, slang
and other lessons in frivolity the weakness
of the imitator is even more discouragtng.
Some generations ago it occurred to GER
tain desperate reputation hunters, eager to
reform the wicked portion of the world,
that they might make stir by descending
even into the slums and ascending with

shock mankind. Whether they really went

is certain that their lite nature got before
the public, excited great interest and made
for them some enviable regulations.
Since that time Stunning has come to
be fad that thousands of curious and

and the tone of the literature of the orig

times very successfully affected.

ON the Boston Transcript

From the Boston Transcript
There is one thing on which toll hasn't yet
been levied and which the poor people of
Boston may enjoy without let or hindrance
That is the fresh air of the Common, and
the time has come when the poor people
get out on Sundays and breathe all the air
they wish to, without anybody to compel
them to pay for the privilege. The tired
mothers and the sick babies who are seen
on the Common on hot Sunday afternoon
seem to be perfectly content, SO long as
they are undisturbed, and if they find the
right location they may absorb the fresh
air and the doctrines of the regeneration
of society at the same time Most Of the
people seem to care more for the air than
the doctrines, however, and seem SO well
contented with.their lot that the propagan-
dists who preach the doctrine of discomfort
have some difficulty in obtaining hearers

BEAUTY OF THE GARDEN.
Development of the Taste for Nature
Study
from the Chicago Inter Ocean.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The wonderful development OF the taste
for the study of nature is one or the most
remarkable changes Of sentiment in the
United States of late years. Naturally
since this so-called mature study is now
distinctly the fashion, much of 1t Is lnsin-
cere and superficial. But enough OF IT Is
real and sincere to make 1t an interesting
feature of that return to the soil which mas
been so marked of late in our American
life. There are manifestations everywhere
of a real desire to be near to nature
heart" Nature books, whether about wild
animals, or trees, or flowers, or gardens
have multiplied, and they are eagerly
bought and read. Some of the more attract
i've and useful works have attained cir
culation only exceeded by popular hcuon.
This nature study is popular In the pubIlc
schools The pupils like it edd the parents
approve it. The demand for teachers hav-
ing an elementary knowledge or natural
history is so great that summer schools OF
nature study for teachers ure recognized
feature of the vacation season. The De-
partment of Agriculture is assisting IN CIV
ing a course of training to the prospective
teachers of the Washington normal school,
Under these circumstances 1t is natural
that the garden should have come TO the
front as a means of outlet for this new
found zeal. To judge by the newspapers
aid magazines and manuals, one Wouid
think that the American had Just dis
covered that there was such a thing AS a
garden To be sure, every Englishman has
his garden, and it is the pride of the
humblest cottager and the richest landlord
Evidently however, this is one respect, at
least in which We have not copied our
English cousins.
From a society standpoint just now the
housewife is giving place to the garden
wife; the one is social incubus. the other
a social success. The gaIden-wife scorns
domesticity, but she ador.s her garden.
The butchers price-list has given way to
the rose growers catalogue. Indeed, 1T Is
very evident that the woman's viewpoint
has changed materially. She Is interested
IN the garden, she was in the days Of
her grandmother. 1t Is clear that scientific
and artistic gardening is passing into the
HANDS of the gentler sex.
AS sign of the tendency of our mod
Irn American people to get away from the
engrcssing cares of a pur ely industrial life
this nature study Is a good thing. AS a
matter of fact, in a garden lies one of the
richest sources of mental refreshment and

ton allotted to the dead of the Spanish
American war, is the plot containing the
bodies of 264 confederates gathered from
the various points about the District a
year or two ago
The Confederate Plot.
The plot is circular in form, with broad
graveled drveways around it and wide
walks leading to a central circle, upon
which stands a large urn ornamented with
tropical plants. The grave of each officer
and soldier has been marked with a
heavy white marble headstone, containing
his name, the company and command to
which he belonged and the letters G. 5. A.
Col. Theodore f. True. L. S. A, in charge
of the cemetery, and who was among the

of transferring the bodies. The graves are
arranged in quadrants of the circle in
semi-crcular rows. There are but few

At Tomb of Unknown.
The prettiest feature of the days cele-
bration occurred immedia tely after the GER
emonies at the confederate plot, where the
spectators assembled about the tomb of
the unknown Union dead and placed on the
tomb large and beautiful shield made of
immortelles. around the supports of which
was a mass of fresh cut flowers. The
shield was OF White ground, with margin OF
red and an edge of yellow Inscribed with
in the shield in blue letters was the follow
ing extract from the address of the late
President Mckinley at Atlanta, Ga, De
cember. 1898: I'm the Spirit of Fraternity"
and below this the words. From Confeder-
ate Veterans, June ., 1903
This shield was a tribute by the Confed-
crate Veterans in recognition and appre-
citation of President McKinley's kindly ex-
preston: THE time has come in the
evolution of sentiment and feeling, under
the providence of God, when in the spirit
of fraternity we should share with you
On the care of the graves of the confed-
crate soldiers"
The services here were conducted by Com
mander Samuel L. Lewis of the Broadway
RousS Camp, l.. c. V, of this city. In plac-
ing the shield on the tomb of the unknown
dead DR.. Lewis made a short address. He
said, in part:
The Words of Mckinley.
I'VE are assembled for the performance
of frdternal duty toward those who long
ago. equally with us dearly loved liberty,
and left home and kindred and died for it's
sweet sake. While we then strove for lib
erty against each other, we are all one now,
and this sweet land of liberty is our love.
And on this occasion it is fitting to recall
the fraternal language of our beloved Pres-
dent, William Mckinley. which came so
ferveutlY from his loving and patriotic
heart and which is so highly appreciated
by the southern people. You have just
heard the entire speech read at the con-
federate section by our comrade. Judge
John v. Wright of Tennessee, and il need
not be repeated except that noble utter
ance.
And the time has now come, under the
providence of God. when in the spirit of

to overcome both difficulties by the aid Of
the air compressor. The tanks IN which the
fishes are brought will be kept supplied
and constantly renewed, until the vessel

tanks will be kept there and, for the rest
of the journey, will be supplied with the
requisite air for the fishes needs by means
