EXTRACTS FOR JUNE


 The Last American King.
 William Garrott Brown, in the June
 Atlantic.
 In March Maximilian and his fol- lowers were shut up in Querataro- Many powerful influences were at work to save him. Seward also did his best. But he made little or mo- eff fort to escape. If he had failed as an emperor. he could at least face disas- ter with the courage and the dignity or a right princely nature. Betrayed by the infamous Lopez, tried before court-martial of boys. and ordered to be shot, he spent his last, days in the discharge of all the obligations or friendship and courtesy. false fe- port of the death of Cariotta being brought to him in prison, he said sim ply: "One less tie to bind me to the world!" Led forth to his execution, and told to stand between two Of his generals who were likewise con- demned, he surrendered the place or honor to General Miramon in recogni- ton of his courage. The rattle of the muskets marked, perhaps. the end or all monarchy in the New World; but the bitterest critic of democracy could scarcely desire a gentler figure than Maximiiian's to stand before the eyes of Americans as the last representa- tive of aristocracy and of kingship on this continent.

WONDERFUL GERANIUMs.
Why California Should Beat the World
 on This Common Flower.

on This Common HlOWeFs
 It is a singular fact that we Cali fornianA neglect the geranium. says a writer In The Garden Magazine. Fasteners envy us because geraniums grow up to the second story of a house and visitors say that a five-foot hedge of red geraniums Is one of the most brilliant sights on earth. Why don't we have more hedges like thist And why don't we have more and bet ter geraniums everywhere instead of coddling rare plants that are not adapt ed to our conditions? No other plant native or foreign, seems to be so perfectly at home with us as the much neglected geranium. Anyone who ex- plores our foothills ana canyons may find deserted cabins around which are growing many varities of geraniums, fin nearly all shades of color, from white to carmine, with no hand near to till, with no moisture except the annual rainfall. yet seeming 10 thrive fully as well as the average native plant.
 The geranium is valuable for its fol- iape effect aIone-for massing in our drier and more barren spots-yet the Reranium with us, as everywhere IS distinctly a Towering plant, more so hv far than the canna and host of other weIl-known "Dedders. Ihis neglect is due, no doubt, to tho ease with which 1t can be grown. The now elty of being able to grow geraniums out of doors every month in the year appeals very strongly to the new-com- CT who has known it only as a much coddled pot plant, but after he sees inc possibilities of our climate, some- tbtne less common--somethtng impos- sihIe of successful growth in his East ern home-claims his attention to the conplete neglect of the geranium.

Personal and PertInents

What strikes the eye most in com parinR the North and the South is the excellent, well-kept condition of roads, streets, parks, school property and all things that belong to the public in the North. and the contrast of bad roads, nl-cleaned streets. ragged parks and carelessly kept school and public prop critics. Of course the question re- solves itself into one of dollars and cents.
 The eye can bring to the brain real ization of the vast amount of money expended North. There are roads and mile of which would cost, more than all the buildings that line the main thoroughfare of one of our small, but important and prosperous towns.
 The money expended in daily sweep ing and washing of the streets of Northern city would be more than a States revenue.
 The tulips that fill the city parks in season are brightening these places at q cost of more than one of our citys entire tax income.
 Yet we have a country whose re- sources are boundless. whose people are probably the best in the world as regards intellect, culture, character.
 Our school buildings are usually plain and unadorned within. While the Northern school buildings are handsome, the rooms decorated with many handsome pictures, copies of the great masters, portraits of great men and modern masterpieces.
 Yet for originality of thought, for quickness of perception. for breadth or mind and depth of culture give me the Southern school child.
 But why cannot we profit by the good example of our Northern neigh bors and have good roads, clean towns, many parks, improved school build tngs
 Good roads would soon pay for them selves For they would raise the price of lands adjacent to them. would draw South the better class of emigrants, would, attract the NoEthsrn tourist.

SAVE THE wIsTARIA.
Some Thought and a Little Pruning
 VIII Repay the Gardener.


 Garden Magazine.
 Nearly all permanent vines VIII stand any amount of pruning except wistaria which does best if allowed to grow year after year without pruning. The commonest mistake in pruning vines is to allow them to grow for five or six years without any pruning whatsoever. This IS why you see on porches everywhere vines that are top heavy, 1. e.. which have a mass Of foliage at the top and scarcely any at the base. This is, of course absurd. for the purpose of growing vines is to screen unsightiy buildings, and 1t also has the disadvantage on a porch of furnishing a hiding place for mosqui- toes, and of littering the porch with leaves which fall before their time. If vines are headed back from one to four feet every year from the second to the eighth year, it should be en- tirely unnec sssary to sweep the porch every morning so far as fallen leaves are concerned. The reason why these leaves fall in July and August Is that top-heavy vine is so crowded that the sunshine cannot enter the mass of foliage and ripen the leaves. The vines bear more leaves than they can ripen and it is those imperfectly rip ened leaves that fall prematurely.

A good many people are amusing themselves by trying to identify the originals of some of the characters of David Graham Philips's The Plum Tree, a book which just now seems to be having considerable vogue For in- stance, the portrait of President Bur bank is said to be drawn from PresI- dent Mckinley; Senator Hanna is thought by many to have suggested Senator Sayler; while as to the original of Scarborough, whose history is con- tinued from The Cost. opinion is di- vided between William Jennings Bryan and Senator Beveridge of Indiana. The latter is generally favored because he Is known to have been MT. PhillIps's classmate at De Pauw University. The author, however, when approached on this point, disclaims all intention of singling out individuals of national fame for praise or pillory, maintaining that his characters are composites, and separate traits may readily be fastened on separate men. If. for example, MT. Hanna contributed much to the making of Sayler, 1t seems likely that Mir. AL drieh contributed as much again. An article by Mir. Phillips on Senator AL drich, entitled The Boss of the United States" created something of a stir a year or two ago. aud what better name could be found for Sayler than the title of that article?-The Bookman.

 It Is to be hoped ere the growth of our towns and cities begins. and 1t will begin soon, for all the over crowded Northern cities look our way for winter homes and new fortune building, that we may realize the im- portance of parks. With our beauti- full natural growths we may well have the most beauteous and diversified and interesting floral parks In the world. As to our school improvements our people are awake to that. and almost every village has its school improve ment society.

A yVriter and HIs noat.

Given a book, a horse. and a boat and c. F. D. Phelps, the author of The Accolade," recently published novel, would ask little more in the way Of pleasure. To skim the first, if novel, in half an hour, give clear idea or its contents, and perhaps a page here and there of accurate quotation, is-not an uncommon feat. Leaping fences on his horse was at one time a chosen pastime, while the handling of boat and sailing over summer seas has be- come second nature. A lifeless rower, he has girdled the Isles of Shoals, made his eighteen miles down the New England coast. and padded from Perth Amboy in canoe of his own construc- ton, rounding a Sandy Hook and land ing at Navesink Lights, through the surf, in seven hours. Fondness and familiarity with ancient and classic literature have inclined. his thoughts and pen to travel the ancient paths, and Chaucer's and shakespear's times are to him as familiar ground as the beaten highway is to many a traveller The most peaceful of men, though with decided opinions, he yet revels in tales of war, and his hero must needs be something of a soldier, while the 'ladye fayre" of Eye olden time" ap- peals to him more than the progressive new woman"

Mir. EdI.On's ..IntultIon."

In the June Worlds Work there is a striking new portrait of Thomas A. Edison. In connection with 1t, in an article on "The Modern Profession of Inventing," IS told the following incl dent.
 In the practice of his profession MT. Edison has to save time. There is a pretty well developed suspicion among his assistants that his deafness Is largely a ruse to avoid hearing things that he does not care to pay attention to. When Mir. Edison sat for the pho toRraph at the front of this magazine, in one of the poses his eyes were drop ped, looking at his hands. It was a time exposure, and the instant the shut ter of the camera closed with click he looked up and exclaimed, over ex- posed" His attorney shouted to him.

Mark TvvaIn,s Daughter on EKret..


 Mir. Herbert K. Jobs article in the May Country Life In America on Egrets has stirred up a storm of discussion. But his strong attack on the ruthless exterminating attacks Of the advance agents of milliners is felt to be well Justified. Miss Jean L. Clemens, the daughter of Mark Twain, has written a letter to another publication in high praise of Mir. Jobs contentious. She says: For every egret killed for the soft, dainty plumes that are so much admired two or three young birds must starve in their nests. or. 1T the eggs have not yet been matched the same number of birds must die. though less cruelty, because among the birds there are no incubators, no college settle- ments no founding hospitals!
 If ladies would only give less thought to their personal adornment and a lit- tie more to what that adornment costs, I believe many would cease from being so ruthlessly cruel as they are today"

BigeIow'a Life of Franklin.


 Among the features of the new edI- tion of Bigelow's Life of Franklin are two illustrations, which, though of for- eign origin. are of peculiar interest to Americans, and which now appear for the first time. One is a portrait of Bishop Jonathan Shipley, at whose res- idence Franklin commenced his fa- nous Autobiography. It is a copy Of the portrait of the Good Bishop painted by Joshua Reynolds. and now in the possession of the family. The other is a statuette of Franklin. made from life, and presented to Fournier, a friend of Franklin. to this day per- haps the most famous of French type- founders, and, like our De Vinne, also the writer of some standard books on professional subjects. It is quite un- like any other counterfeit presentment of the famous lightning conductor that has come down to us. The original of this statuette Is the property of a lady in France. who cherishes 1t as one of her most valuable possessions.
 American Thumb prints,' which win be published at once by J. B. Lippin- colt Company, bears the impress of our best American spirit. It also speaks distinctly for its author, Miss Kate Ste- phens. who herself comes of old Amer ican stock, Miss Stephenss forbeara officered two famous expeditions of the English colonists and later fought on the patriotic side during the War Of Independence. Perhaps such facts led to her acute understanding of certain facts and traits drawn in her book. Miss Stephens had the chair of Greek literature at the University of Kansas for six years. and in the past eight years has done much original work both In the middle West and the East Sha has edited several volumes which have been widely circulated. American Thumb-prints" contains a large num- Der of essays, the choice of those which have appeared in the leading periods calls during the past two or three years.

A New Joe Jefferson story.

James Huneker in the June Worlds
 Work.
 I saw Joseph Jefferson during the first week of his Rivals revival in 1880 at the Arch Street Theatre. Ten years later. when I knew him person. ally, I found him off the stage as he was on-a charming companion. The only example of his dry humor that can now recall was the result of a slight incident which took place in Union Square. before a store where the actor occasionally stopped to pur- chase painting materials. I was at his elbow as he alighted from his car riage and as I saluted him said: Buying paint for the country, Mir. Jefferson?"
 He halted, and in those shrewd old eyes-Celtic eyes-was just the ghost of a twinkle.
 Better paint barns than the town, young mani" and he went into the shop for his tubes, brushes and canvas. It was characteristic of Joseph Jefferson.

Rird Courtnhlp.

John Burroughs, in the June Atlantic.
 Bird courtship then is not a process of selection on the part of the females but is a process of arousing the mat ing instinct in the females on the part of the males. I doubt if there are any conscious preferences on either side.
 If tho female refuses the male 1t Is not because he does not fill her eye or arouse her admiration, but because the mating instinct is not yet ripe. In other words, the female does not ac- cept the male because she admires him, but because she is ready to mate. I have heard of two albino robins that mated, showing, if this be true, that abnormal coloring did not stand in the way. Darwin quotes from an ob- server in South Africa who says that the female widow-bird disowns the male when he is robbed of the long tail feathers with which he is orna- mented during the breeding season. This was very likely because this plucking broke his spirits and reduced his breeding instincts below the nor nal.
