THE SENSE OF BEAUTY.
Cdisivatc 1t by Observing tho Sky
and the Landscape.

hho Landscape
Tie Oldest and readiest means of cul.
tiyatiny the sense OF beauty Is habitual
observation OF the heavens. for which
the only things needed arc tile oper
sight of the sky and tho observing eye
The heavens are always declaring the
glory of God" The noblest poetry OF
oil nations celebrates the majesty and
splendor OF the sky. rsalnist, prophet
and artist draw thence their lofties:
teachings. Sun, moon aud stars, sun
set and sunrise, clouds tossed and torn
10y wind. Goating or driving mists and
fogs, snow. rain and the clear blue are
ali phenomena of the sky which will
afford endless delights to him who
watches them. The dwcilcr on tho
prairie or the sea has the best chance
mt the Sky, and the dwcller in narrow
streets, hemMed In by tall buildings,
has the worst. This obstruction OF the
sight of the sky Is one OF the grave
evils which beset modern urban pop
iilation. City people run about ut the
bottom OF deep bitches and often can
see only narrow strip OF the heavens
Fortunately the lofticst structures rear.
cd by mcn are not SO high but that
moderate open area in The midst of q
closely built city will give II prospect,
Of large sections OF the heavens. This
is one Of the great things gained for an
urban population by accessible open
spaces. such as parks, commons.
MARSHES and reaches or ponds OF wa.

burned fercely. The time came when
her husband, stricken in years and be-
reft of his fortune, lost interest in her
financial doings and could be of no
service to her in their unfolding Her
greed for gain made her parsimonious,
and he had been accustomed to hber-
aIity all his life. At last the climax
came and Mr. Green left his money
making wife to her own devices and
took up his abode in a private apart
ment in upper Broadway. For several
years he made vain efforts to recover a
portion of his lost millions but with
out avail. Feeble and disheartened, he
retired to the old and rather dilapidated
mansion at Bellows Falls which had
been the home of his grandfather, and
his wife remained in New York to con-
duct her winning battle with wall
street and its millions. Just previous
to Mr.. Green's last illness reconcilia-
ton was effected and Mrs. Green was
at his bedside when he breathed his
last. Their daughter and some Of his
relatives had ministered to him during
his long illness and he died content
Mrs. Green did not lnger in Bellows
Falls. The game was stiu in progress.
and she had not withdrawn from it.
With upward of $4,000, 900 as her share
of the profits she was not yet ready to

! the ground, for no other living creature
is capable of keeping track of the de-
tails Of her multifaTious and entirely
'sui generis" operations. Much Of her
wealth is still invested in real estate
She is reputed to have holdings of up
ward of $10,000,000 in Chicago alone
She owns millions in government bonds
and in other reliable securities. She
] has in the vaults of the Chemical bank
on of
diamonds in the world, not a single gem
of which ever sparkles on her person
To her they mean only a secure invest
ment. She maintains the largest
standing balance of any bank depositcr
in the country=with the possible ex-
ception of Russell Sage-and has mil
lions Of cash ready for instant use
This fact is well known in Wall street,
and it is the source of much of her gain.
Whenever capitalists engaged in con-
structive projects need large sums of
money they have only to call on Hetty
Green with the proper security and the
willingness to pay for the acconmoda-
ton. It is game that demands a
steady nerve and a practiced hand. but
there is no record that Hetty Green
mas ever made foolish move in it.
The brightest spot in the career of
this remarkable woman is her unmis-
taxable affection for her son. Edward
Howland Robinson Green, for several
years a citizen of Texas, in which state
he has achieved fortune and great
popularity. His mother purchased a
controlling interest in the Texas Mid
land railroad and made him its presi-
dent and has invested largely in other
Texas property on his account. He
has held the craftsmanship of the Re
. publican state committee for three
terms and has been mentioned proTni-
nently for official honors. He is thirty
five years of age and unmarried. With
his mothers millions and his own ca
pacity for adding to them he seems to
be a prospective candidate for the COM
ing American billionaire class.

rose in their might and demanded a
constitution.
The growth of the liberal movement
in the Russian empire has been phe-
nomenalIy slow and Enthusiastically
peculiar. Every permanent reform
made since the reign of Catherine seems
to be distinctly referable to the initia-
tive of the sovereign and to have no
especial connection with any concerted
effort on the part of the people. Paul
L, GATHERINGS son and successor, hated
the aristocracy and did everything he
dared to curtan its privileges. With
this end in view he favored the lower
classes on every possible occasion, al.
most to the extent of becoming a re-
former. He became SO liberal in his
tendencies that he alienated all classes
the aristocrats because they were
despoiled of their ancient right to prey
on the peasantry, and the latter be-
cause they were SO unaccustomed to
consideration of any description that
they did not recognize it when 1t came
and were suspicious of their rulers ad-
vances. According to the historians of
that period Paul must have been the
only person with liberal views in the
| empire, and his liberalism was so un-
popular that he was assassinated.
His successor, Alexander l.. seems to
nave been a real advocate OF Gne 4u-
manftarian doctrines that were preva-
lent in the latter part of the eighteenth
century, but he found little encour-
agement among his countrymen. He
began by abolishing serfdom in the Bal
tic provinces and by providing for the
more efficient administration of the
/ laws against oppression. Every at
tempt on his part to better the condi-
ton of his people met with the most
stubborn resistance, especially from
+ those whom he was anxious to benefit
/ There is abundant evidence to prove
that Alexander was not hindered Sc
greatly in his contemplated reforms by
the opposition of the aristocracy as he
was baff1ed by the distrust and ig-
norance of the Muscovite masses. H
finally gave it up for a hopeless case
and during the last decade of his reign
made no attempt to change the exist
ing order.
Even Nicholas l.. Alexander's young
est brother. who succeeded him, was
by no means illiberaI il his views. He

ped his fortune in Wall street she con-
graduated herself on her prudence.
For several years after the marriage
of the young couple who began their
welded life under such auspicious cir
cumstances the Greens kept up their
interest in society, but after the birth
of her ehildren-Henry and SyIvia-and
the loss of her husbands millions in
Wall street Hetty began to withdraw
from social life and to devote herself
exclusively to the expansion of her own
fortune. The mismated pair lived in
England for several years, the son
being born at the Langham hotel in
London, where they were domiciled. On
their return to America they settled in
New York, and it was not long before
Mrs. Green entered upon her career of
shrewd bargaining in the financial mart
of profitable investments in the safest
kinds of property, of litigation over her
fathers estate and that of her aunt, and
sometimes with her own lawyers over
their fees. of cramped living in cheap
boarding houses, of frequent changes of
residence to avoid the assessor. of un-
ceasing toll in the labor of money. get
ting and of sacrifice of all the personal
comfort and domesticity that most wo-
men hold SO dear.
The passion grew. With each sue
