HOLIDAY
Old Fashioned Greens Were Rosemary,

Country Life In America: The old FASH

mated thai we now use every year there
IL a much greater variety. Best loved OF
Ill is the glossy, red berried holly.

OF the Atlantic the American holly, Hex

Carolina, where 1t lifts a symmetrical
cone OF dark, shining leaves set with scar

OF gray and silver to the height OF sew

Delaware and Maryland are usually

A WONDERFULLY CLEAN CITY.

Boston not only impressed one as won
derfully clean city, but as having been
actually washed up" for the occasion.
The spotless streets, curbs and sidewalks
looked as if they had been actually scrub
bed, and that with conscientious thorough.
ness. Not only was there nowhere a spot
of dirt. stain, nor suggestion of where
filth might have been, but there were no
scraps of paper, straws, leaves or "litter''
anywhere.
The great, solid walls of granite and
smooth. firm brickwork gave the same idea
of having been newly-washed. The storms
which beat upon them in Winter leave
their traces in spray tracks, looking as il
hose had been playing on them quite
lately.
The little grass plots looked like fresh
green velvet. The plants were all bloom.
ing brightly. No dust On the leaves any
where. No dead or dying limbs on the
trees. The scars on old trunks carefully
covered with paint or cement.
Even at the waterside there were none
of the rotten piles, looking like bad teeth
in giant mouths, none Of the dismantled
hulks, none of the tumble down sheds that
one is accustomed to on water fronts.
Along the whole length of Charles River
on both sides, far as could be seen from
the street cars, is a substantial, neat sea.
wall, with a grass-plot meeting it at the
top, and behind the grass high buildings
| with trim fronts, and universal cleanliness
order, and fresh paint.
Things must get dirty, and fall into de-
cay in Boston as elsewhere, but there was
no hint of such a possibility in anything
| that the veterans saw.
If ever city put on a dress-suit and
patent-leathers for the reception of honored
| guests it was Boston.
The National tribune., 1904-08-25

THE WORST and most conspicuous failure
of an otherwise glorious affair was that of
the Boston police. This was not the fault
of splendid force, which has no superior
In the world. 1t was the customary failure
OF city authorities and leading men to
comprehend the bigness of g. A. r. affairs.
Probably nobody could have foreseen that
such an incOmprehensible multitude as
100000 should try to see the parade, but
certainly the civil authorities should have
made preparations for a much larger
crowd than they did. There were but 800
policemen on duty, where there should have
been not less than 5000, and 5000 would
have been still better. Only 800 policemen
to 100000 people was not even the ira
ditional proportion Of a grain of wheat to
q bushel of chat. It was more like the
other slmile Of q needle in q haystack.
Add to this the narrowest and most diff
cult streets in the heart of any great city,
and you have an appalling problem. Had
not the vast multitude been the best
natured, most reasonable people in the
world there would have been tragedies,
where fortunately the worst were angry
scufies, many instances of physical suffer
ing, many more Of wrecked tempers, and
intense aggravatiOn, and q world of disa D.
pointment to tens of thousands who wanted
to enjoy the spectacle, and pay q tribute to
the Nations heroes.

AGAIN WE must take exceptions to Mr..
Swinton's arithmetic. If Lee had only
10000 men at Amelia Court House, how
could he lose 5000 men at Sailors Greek,
many thousand more by foraging parties
and deserters along the route, and still
have $4,000 present for surrender at Ap-
pomattox? These known facts don't
consist"

How WONDERFUL are the churches in
Boston, Many of the much vaunted cathe-
ara.s in Europe are not so superb, so taste
full. SO expensive. Money seems to have
been no consideration when they were
erected. AS much was taken as wanted of
very high-prieed ground, the architect was
given the utmost freedom in working out
his s>st ideas, and then these were executed
in the best materials, and with endless
days work of high-priced skilled labor.
Those who built them thought the very
best was none too good to give God
Almighty, and the magnificent structures
are an eternal testimonial to the reality
and force of their faith. Such masses of
beautiful. viyidly green ivy as Chambers up
gaining grace and attractiveness each year
over the chiseled stone. The fronts of some
of the churches are entirely covered with
ii, as living green as an emerald, and
breaking, with its mass of verdure, the
stiff array of solid walls on either side
The man who don't go to church in Boston
simply has no appreciation of the Good and
the Beautiful, when he sees them.
The National tribune., 1904-08-25

THE JAPANESE seem entirely justified IN
taking the Russian gunboat out of the
harbor of Che-Foo. Chinese neutrality is
not of much account in the eyes of any
body. and certainly not in those of Russia
China is not able to enforce any respect
for her position, and therefore to leave the
gunboat in port would be simply to give
her an excellent chance to get in shape for
a raid whenever she was ready for it.

A MOST excellent feature of the Boston
Encampment were the Sons of Veterans.
Squads of them in full uniform were pre-
sent at the depots to meet every train, and
give necessary information to incoming
veterans. They were stationed at promi-
Rent places in the city, and every veteran
aud veterans wife turned to them gladly
for information. They were all bright, in
teiligent, earnestly accommodating young
gentlemen, who looked quite handsome in
their neat uniforms, and the veterans and
their wives were quite proud of them.
