WOMEN WHO WEAR TROUSERS.
Employed at Gardening, They Have
Adopted Sensible Garments.

Al Kew Gardens, in London, a small
intelligent, capable and scientific
squad of practical women gardeners is
employed. They labor in the potting
sheds, WELD the pruning shears, study
fertilizers and wear trousers.
in summer their neither bifurcated
garments are of dark blue linen or
brown, as each wearer prefers. They
havc adopted long breeches strapped
closc TO the leg below the knees and
about the ankles to permit unimpeded
stepping in and out among close-set
planis. A blue shocked frock loosely
gathered in by a broad belt at the
waist forms the remainder of their
very sensible uniform. The public
when visiting the famous gardens easi.
ly catches a glimpse of them.

the greatest picture in the world. There
has been some question as to whether
Rafael actually finished the painting
before his death, but Vasari declares
that he did and that it was placed at
the head of the painters bier. It is at
all events absolutely sure to the minds
of the best critics that parts of the
picture were the work of Giulio Roma
no, who for a long time was Rafaels
right-hand man. The concOurse Of
people at the base of thte mountain in
the picture are credited to him. The
subject of the picture was given to Ra-
fael by Cardinal de- Medici, for whom
it was painted. He was obliged to
illustrate two distinct incidents, the
TRANSPORTATION on the mountain top,
and the bringing of the lunatic boy to
the disciples at the base of the noun
tain.
The Madonna di Foligno was ordered
by Sigismondo Cont, chamberlain for
julius H., and was intended to COM
memorate the chamberlain's escape
from a meteor during the seige of Fo-
ligno, an escape he credited to the in
tervention Of Heaven itself. The pic
ture shows him in his red mantle and
cape with fur Innings, kneeling in the
foreground of landscape, while the
bolt is whirling across the sky. Jerome
accompanied by his lion rests his hand
on the chamberlain's head. The vision
above to which they are both appealing
is that of Mary seated on the clouds
surrounded by angels and cherubims
and with Jesus upon her right knee
In the center is winged boy holding 3
tablet near the kneeling chamberlain
and to the left are st. Francis upon
his knees and the erect figure of John
the Baptist beyond him.
