The Gardener In Old Rome.

He literally grew colonnades; he fash
toned obelisks of box. cypress or lick.
He not only 1lattered his lord and mas
ter by inscribing his name in odorifer
Gus herbs or gorgeous flowers that star
tied the garden With occasional tours
de force, but he actually trimmed trees
into family portraits or even those of
historical characters. He transformed
bushes and thick foraged shrubs into
the fantastic likeness of ships, lions,
bears and birds. And these rather de-
generate ''conceits" and extravagances
met with profound appreciation and
were rewarded with increase Of wages
by the same individual who, having
tired of mere gladiatorial fights with
wild beasts in the Coliseum. only de-
rived real thrills from such uncanny
performances as fights between women
and dwarfs or women with each other.

Odd Things.

The origin of the sentiment, "Old

friends to trust. old authors to read" is
somewhat obscured. Bacon found that
Alfonso Of Aragon was Won't to say in
commentator of age that age ap-
peared to be best in these four things
John Webster QC3s) went further in
declaring. "Old Wine wholesomest. OLD
pippins tvothsomest," and that "old

whitest." Goldsmith in "She Stops to
Conquer" says. "Old friends. old times,
old manners. old books. old wine."
There are many variant quotations.
