A MOUNTAIN OF LILIES.
sown Ten Years Ago by Luther Bur-
bank, a Californian.

From the New York Herald
On a mountain top. 20O0 feet above sea
level, in the northern section of California
I'm a cline particularly suited to their devel-
opment, thousands of the fairest OF lilies
have been blooming. For a decade they
have been planted there, and every year
has seen the number of bulbs increase UNI
til the place can almost be termed a ''lily
ranch" The lilies are Burbank creations,
and to this selected climate and soil they
were sent by Luther Burbank eight or ten
years ago and were taken in charge by a
competent man intrusted with TIE work OF
growing them by Burbank
Few people know OF the location of the
ranch, or that there was such flower gar
den In the mountains. Burbank was absent
from town a couple of days this week and
during his absence he Travelled many miles
by railroad and stage to reach the place
where the lilies grow. Three or four years
have elapsed since he was last able to visit
the place, but he found that the man in
charge had everything right
The lilies are all hybrids. They came
from forty different species. many OF them
OF almost priceless value. They were
crossed and recrossed and carefully Sc
lected before they were sent to their noun
tain home to multiply. in order that they
now, to mankind.
Some time ago 1t was mentioned that
Burbank had received letters from several
OF the European monarchs asking him for
information about his work He graciously
replied to the inquiries and today a per-
sonal reply came from one of the crowned
heads, thanking Burbank for his courtesy
and information. This reply from q king
mentioned particularly the thornless cac-
tus.
Another letter in a recent mail is one OF
special interest. Ii came from far-of
Siam. The writer informs Burbank that
he may expect a consignment of seeds and
bulbs from Siam, with which N. is asked to
experiment.

Gretna Green
Marriages Revived
Special Correspondence of The Star


Special Correspondence of The Star.
EDINBURGH, October %, 1905.
Gretna Green. the little Scotch village
just across the border from Cumberland, IS
witnessing revival of the weddings which
made it famous in the romantic days OF
yore. One Peter Dixon. a carpenter, is
playing the role of the blacksmith of ira
dtion, and well does it pay him that
he has abandoned his trade TO devote him
self exclusively to the tying of nuptiaI
knots for couples who are IN a hurry 10

The writer found Dixon in public house,
the center of an admiring throng of vii
layers. He is a good type of the canny
Scot, of middle age with shrewd eyes, iron
gray hair and a mouth screened by a full

counsel. He was not at all adverse tc

even Scotch whisky, that most potent en-
courager of loquacity could induce him TO
be communicative about his singular &C.

Under Scotch law a marriage can be ceie-
brated anywhere and at any hour of the
day or night, for the ceremony In its SIM
plest form consists merely in q couple
agreeing before witnesses to take each
other for husband and wife, One of the
contracting parties Is required to have re-
sided In Scotland for twenty-one days be-
fore the marriage, but 1t is doubtful If steps
are taken to compel proof OF that. though
the enactment was specially aimed at the
old runaway Gretna Green matches. Judg-
ing from Dixon's offer to marry the writer
offhand. he does not bother himself about
tho matter.
It was ascertained by inquiry in the VII
lage that In the course Of the preceding
week he had married half a dozen couples,
but 1t Is probable that most OF the loving

there was no need for a couple of English
lovers to be scampering off to Scotland to
get married. Ever since the reformation
had repudiated the council Of Trent and
most of its dongs English practices in the
matter of marriages had been growing
more and more lax and irregular. To put
an end to the scandal the marriage act of
1854 was passed.

matter OF marriages had been growing
more and more lax and irregular. To put
an end to the scandal the marriage act of
1854 was passed
It required all persons except Jews and
Quakers to get marrled-if at all-in a
church of England and according to Church
of England ritual A great many people
resented the new law, and as it did not
apply to Scotland the most obvious way
to escape it was to fit across the border.
But flight was not always easy. Numerous
stories were told of sensational chases, of
broken-down vehicles, of barricaded roads
and of the horses of pursuing carriages be-
ing shot to give gay Lotharios in front just
time to get over the bridge into the land of
liberty. When the names of great lords and
ladies began to be mixed up with such ro-
mances weddings at Gretna Green began
to be almost as fashionable as are now
those at st. Georges, Hanover Square.
Fifty such marriages in the course of a
month were by no means unusual at one
time Among the earliest recorded mar
riages at Gretna was that of Richard Az
nell Edgworth, who in the course of his
eccentric career married four wives-one OF
them deceased wife's sister - and had
nineteen children, among them Maria Edg-
worth. the novelist. Then followed several
lords, among whom were Brougham, Eldon.

came two level miles over the debatabIe

English boundary, the little stone bridge

conducted at the little dollhouse. Who first

There is no doubt about it, the
