MAKING JAPANESE GARDEN
Nature, Taste of Artist, Personality
of Owner, All Taken Into
Consideration.

Many a wise man from abroad has
said OF the pictorial artists, as well
as of the masters of landscape garden
ing in Nippon, that the one master tc
whom they go for lessons and guild
ance is nature. They are wrong as
critics in general and the imported
ones in particular are apt to be, writes
Adachi Kinnosuke, in Country Calen-
dar.
The landscape gardener in Nippon,
like all our artists, serves two mas
ters-nature and his own personality.
With US the mere copy OF nature is lit
tie better than a caricature OF a good
and great thing; natural scenery
should be seen and appreciated in its
original state as the gods had left it
on the canvas of their own choosing,
on the same ground that you should
never see a counterfeit of master
piece of painting. 4
Nature plus the man is the beginning
of art in Nippon. Sometimes the land
scape gardener in Nippon Is called
upon to serve three masters. Added to
the fidelity of nature and the play OF
his individual taste, he is called upon
to take serious thought unto the per-
sonality of the owner Of the garden.
And perhaps that is the reason why
the art of landscape gardening Is con-
sidered, with US as one OF the most
difficult of fine arts. A mans garden,
like his dress and his library, must
drst be a mirror OF his personality.
The tale it would tell when the
friends OF its master came to see It
must be about the master himself
it must tell this story not only in the
terms of art, but so plainly, too, that
the guest looking at the garden and
pleased with the beauty thereof, would
only see in what pleasing terms its
author has interpreted its masters
personality through it all The chief
thing which a good garden ought to
show to the eyes of men ought to be
the man and not the garden itself.

FRENcHMAN's SLIDING BOAT
Skins Along the Surface Of the Water
with Lightness and
Speed.

The fact that a stone can skim the
water If its fat surface strikes square
ly has recently been put in practice
In the construction Of a sliding boat
by a French inventor, M. de Lambert
The friction which is present when the
de Lambert boat slides over the water
is very slight, and the power which is
Becessary in order to make the boat
glide is not high. When the boat is
at rest it is supported by floats, says
the American Inventor.
The boat constructed by NJ. de Lam
bert has a total length of 20 feet, with
a width of ten feet. between the in
clined planes upon which 1t slides
The boat has parallel floats resembling
certain Asiatic canoes. The two floats
are very narrow and are united by
crosspieces, partly of wood and partly
of aluminium, a metal which has been
used to large extent in the construc-
ton of the boat because of its slight
weight.
uC nOlOA uocu 10 q IL hOAo P~"N
but the essential parts Of the boat are
fixed sliding planes, adjusted under the
boat at carefully regulated distances
from each other. These planes, which
are made of wood, are immersed to a
depth of several centimeters when the
boat is at rest, and they are inclined
at an angle which has been decided
upon after wide experimentation. The
total weight of the boat is about 1,2OO
pounds, but in order to move this
weight it requires a motor Of only IL
horsepower, while in the case of au-
tomobile boats the motors required are
60, so and even 100-horse power.
M. Belief says that M. de Lambert's
boat has been timed by official chronom-
eters, and that the results have been
surprising. When the motor is started
the boat commences to move with the
planes still submerged, cutting the wa
ter horizontally, But this lasts only
a short time; the planes show an in
Simultaneous tendency to rise, and they
are practically on the water at the end
of a few meters. Then the speed quick
ly increases because of the immense
diminution in resistance, and soon the
boat is sliding on the water, or, more
exactly, on a layer of air resting be-
tween the planes and the water, at
speed of IA, Is or rs miles an hour.

PRAISES CHINESE SAILORS.
Shipmaster Who Has Tried Them
Says They Work Hard and
Never Complain.

Chinese sailors have not heretofore
been highly regarded as rule, but a
shipmaster who has made a tour OF
the world and recently landed In Bos-
ton is authority for the statement that
Cinnamon make the best Of sailors,
states the New York Sun. He had
command of a crew of AZ officers and
men, of whom "a were Chinese. In
speaking of his crew he said:
81 left New York in December for
Australia and New Zealand ports with
a crew of Americans and Englishman.
! had no more than got out of the har-
Dor before there was trouble, and II
lasted all the time we were at sea,
and when we got into a port the men
got drunk.
This has been my experience with
crews for years, but determined to
make a change. had seen ships with
Chinese sailors and heard the captains
tell of their good qualities, and finally
l determined to try them.
"At Singapore fired my New York
crew and replaced it with Chinese.
paid the fares of the New York sail
ors to their home ports and was glad
to get rid of them. Since that day
the experience of myself and my fell
low officers has been a glorious one.
The continuous grumbling and kick
ing has ceased.
THE Cinnamon work hard and
never murmur. They are a quiet, or
der-loving crowd, and better lot OF
sailors never walked the decks.
1.-The time will come when they will
be found on every ship. When they
reach a port they do not rush ashore
and get drunk and then come aboard
and begin to abuse every one"
The Cinnamon are satisfied to take
short shore leave only. They do not
quarrel they do not drink to excess.
They are placid and docile and are not
inclined to mutiny.
American captains on foreign voy-
ages are, from present indications,
likely to have much to do with Chi
nese sailors in the future. The mari
time business of the Philippines is
largely in the hands of Chinese mer-
chants at present and many Of the
sailors in Philippine ports come from
Hong-Kong.
There is a large Chinese population
in Hawaii, too, and many sailors
shipped in Hawaii for voyages to
America are Cinnamon.
Though Englishmen and Scotchmen
are excellent sailors 1t was found
some years ago desirable for English
shipowners to secure for tropical or
semi-tropical voyages men less easily
affected by intense heat and East In
dian or Lascar sailors have been found
to fulfill this requirement. In much
the same way it is predicted that Chi
nese sailors will become popular as
seamen for American ships on voyages
south of the line.

Man,a Salhshnasa.

On a general survey Of all the great
er qualities men usually claim for
themselves that women are on an In
ferior moral platform. With many pro-
testations women are, perhaps, inclined
to admit that some sort Of plausible
case can be made out for men. But on
one thing women are unanimous. They
assert as a self-evident fact which can
not be contradicted that men are abom-
inably selfish In little things.-Satur-

One Of the revelations Of japanese
character and japanese prudence that

consequence. says the Detroit Free
Press, they have sprung one surprise
after another upon the world, and this
has aroused so much wonder and ad-
miration that other countries, our OWE
among them, have undertaken to en-
ulate their discretion 1t Is now an
nounced that our navy department will
hereafter order officers to keep silence
concerning matters affecting that arm
Of the service. OF course, we contend
that our navy is the equal, II not the
superior, of any other in the world, but
that its personnel has rather over
worked the boosted American freedom
of speech cannot be denied. In the bat

~ a question Of division Of honors; but
had there been 1t would not have taken
shape among the participants or In
official circles. The ascription OF sue
cess to the virtues Of the emperor and
the spirits of their ancestors precluded
all controversy.
Then again, we can hardly imagine
q japanese naval officer dragging In
the sovereign of a neutral country In
Hoch der kaiser" me und Colt" In
cident, even as an after-dinner pleas
antry of club banquet. Without doubt
our tarry heroes talk too much. They
are too free with their boasts and their
criticisms, and the same is true OF the
military arm Of the service. This amia-
BILE weakness can perhaps be Qualined
somewhat, but we doubt whether 1t can
be entirely eliminated. It 10 not Alto
gether a matter that can be reached
by discipline. 1t is not discipline that
Is wholly or in large part responsible
for It among the japanese. The virtue
Of silence where silence works to their
advantage is an inherited quality.
Moreover, it has been often noted that
the United States and the east, Japan
especially, represent two opposite types
of national expression. Here individ-
ualism asserts itself; there the indi-
yidual Is absorbed in the state. There
fore the secrets of the army and navy
are state secrets, and no individual
would any more think OF disclosing
them than the arm Of a man would move
until the brain willed it. Here we regard
our knowledge and our ideas as our own,
to do with as we will. We resent any
challenge Of that right, and probably the
new regulation will be stigmatized by
those to whom it applies as gag or
der" There is more hope that we can
successfully emulate the japanese hos
pital service than their practice OF ON
cial silence. Certainly we have never yet
been able to do what japan has done,
which is to mystify and defeat the best
newspaper correspondents in the world.

French Cookery and the Parisians.

French Cookery and the Parisians.
The closing of SO many once famous
Partisan restaurants during the last
ten years is due to various causes. But
the chief is undoubtedly the fact that
Paris has become so largely city OF
impaired digestions. Those English
people who, intimate with members OF
the Partisan bourgeoisie, partake OF
the latter's private hospitality when
they happen to visit the French cap
ital, win have noticed how simply, as
a rule, the viands served at their
friends tables are nowadays prepared.
Even when any dishes at all recherche
In character are served for the visitors
benefit, the host will generally refrain
from partaking Of them, stating as his
excuse that his medical man has or
dered him to conhne himself to

STORY OF HISTORIC GEM.
Diamond That Shone in Royal
Crowns and Swords Stolen
by Thieves.

The Pitt diamond was first employed,
liter it became one of the crown jewels
d France, in the ornamentation OF the
rown that was made Tor the coronation
If King Louis XIV, in 1722. In lIsl
t was entered in an inventory of crown
.ewels that was compiled by order VI
ne national assembly during the reyo-
luton and twas deposited at the Garde
.Isubel after the assembly had deter
mined to sell it if buyer at a suitable
rice could be found. But no offer was
made. and so it happened that in Sep
smicr it was stolen with other jewels
oy a band of men who broke into the
arde Menble. 1t was secreted by the
thieves in a hole in the timber work OF
a garret in low lodging, and there II
remained some time. 1t was at length
,scoyered by the republican authori-
ties and deposited in the national treas
iry.
II was not again disturbed until 1904,
when it was set in the pommel OF the
sword which Napoleon wore when he
crowned himself emperor at Notre
anne in Paris. Empress Marie
,ouise carried it of with other crown
ewels to Blois, after Emperor Napoleon
vas banished to Elba, but her father,
-.mperor Francis Of Austria, obtained
t from her and sent it to Louis XVIII
that king, on Napoleon's return from
Glba, fed with it to Client, but after
Waterloo returned with 1t to Paris. IN
$50 the diamond was used by King
Charles X at his cor. ION. but since
then it has not been employed at any
ceremonial. Shortly after the fall OF the
second empire many of the crown jew
els of France were sold by the repub-
lican government for the benefit OF the
state. But no buyer was found for the
Pitt, or Regent, diamond and 1t remains
in safe custody at the Louvre.

ACCUMULATES WEALTH.
Prosperity Falls on a Former Resident
 of Prescott.

The mining fraternity of this sec tion will remember Matt Hovick, who for many years was a well known mine foreman under several companies, and particularly so of Douglas, Lacey & Co.,, while the latter wer operating in this section. Less than two years ago MT. Hovick pulled out and went to Nevada, locating at Beatty in that state, occupying position as mine fore man of a company. His ability was early recognized, and he went up the ladder to the superintendeney of the company. With that advance he be- gan to accumulate money, and is now generally recognized as not only an au- thority on the industry but is reputed to be very wealthy. His wealth is said to reach a quarter of a million of dollars, while back of this sum are interests that probably will make him a full fiedged millionaire MT. Hoviek is to be congratulated in winning such sum, and in doing so his character isties are the same as when struggling in Yavapai, and not a hair in his head has been turned by this vast aceumula- tion in so short a time.

Nelson-Fagerberg Nuptials.

Amid the fragrance of snowy ear nations and many orange blossoms, that shook their golden censers and vied their softness with the American Beauty rose, while the lacy fronds of asparagus ferns and trailing pepper branches that adorned each nook and corner, a young couple paid their VOWS of love and devotion in the parlors of the brides parents, MT. and Mrs. William Nelson, at noon on Wednesday.
 A small circle of friends gathered to witness the marriage of Miss Amy Nelson and MT. Dixon Fagerberg, and a hush fell over the little group as Master Oliver Nelson preceded the wedding party, bearing in his hands a magnificent rose, in the petals of which was hidden the wedding ring. While the strains of the wedding march were being sweetly played by Miss Louise Nelson, the bride enter ed by her fathers side. The young couple stood in front of the minister in one corner of the room, where the Rev. Rogers, of the Congregational church, repeated the sweet and solemn ring service of the Episcopal ceremony that made them one
 There were no attendants, and the brides sweet and girlish beauty was set off with an exquisitely becoming travelling suit of pearl gray, with a touch of "old rose" and handsome hat of velvet to match completed the pretty costume.
 The ceremony was followed by en- thusiastic congratulations, showered upon both Mir. Fagerberg, and his bride, after which a sumptuous de- jeuner was served the guests.
 Mir. and Mrs. Fagerberg left for San Francisco, where they will remain for several days, returning later to make their home in our city.
