|D|ALS COMING BACK
ARE NOW FREQUENTLY USED
BY LANDSCAPE GARDENERS.
Models Of Some of the Most Famous
in History, for Which Large
Prices Were Paid, Now in
This Country.

Sun dials are il increased demand
since women have gone in for land
scape gardening, and in the pursuit
of these timepieces of ancient manu-
facture there is a deal of energy dis
played.
Dlals of English make are most
common and are more frequently seen
IN the antique shops than those Of
any other country. In buying an i'm
ported dial it must be borne in mind
that to make it practical it may be
necessary to adapt it to possible
change in it's location.
So that one of modern manufacture,
copied perhaps from an old model,
is perhaps more to be desired. Some
Of the very old dials are arranged
to show the time in the four quarters
of the globe, for instance, in London,
New York, Melbourne, Australia, and
places in China and Japan.
Another suggestion for the woman
who is considering the purchase of a
dial for her garden is to see that the
tracings are hand engraved, not cast,
for the former are far more accurate
The process of casting the dial is apt
to detract from it's accuracy.
Dialists are born, not made, and
they are few and far between One
of them now in America is a German
and has qualified himself for the work
by being an astronomer, a mathema-
tlcian, an adept in the reproduction
Of ancient designs and a sculptor.
One of his dials is in the garden
of Mrs. o. H. P. Belmont's place at
Hampstead. It not only tells the time
OF day but at noon sets off a cannon
Occupying a prominent place on the
front wall of the new residence of
Mrs. Beethoven at Irvington-o the
Hudson is vertical ornate design,
|carved in the stone of which the house
is built. Two cupids rest comfort
ably just above the dial, holding in
their hands scrolls bearing Latin mot
toes Just at the left of the porte
cochere is dial showing the differ
ence between clock time and sun time
for all the year.
Sentiment doubtless enters largely
into the fad of collecting sun dials;
but there is another side to it, too,
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1906-09-01

for no one feature of modern decora-
tive gardening lends such pictur-
esque touch to the landscape as the
sun dial.
Sun dials range in price from SO
for the very small size-these are re-
productions and cast-up to $50. 1t
isn't always the dial itself that costs
so much but the pedestal that accom-
panies it.
An exceedingly artistic pedestal can
be purchased for $35, but the prices
vary according to the taste of the in
dividual. A wealthy New York wom-
an recently paid $4,000 for sun dial
and pedestal, but the latter was hand
somely carved.
Two particularly stunning pedestals,
recently imported from Japan for the
estate of railway magnate, were for
merly temple gate posts. A stone
pedestal can be bought for $40 and
one of marble for $65.

DOG EXPRESS IN OLD QUEBEC

Ginning away the sleepy hours, calling
to mind the melodies Of Tom Moore,
is education and delight.
Well, in the quaint city where Gen.
Wolfe made history and died a hero
and patriot, they have more queer
things and customs than you could
find in the old French quarter Of New
Orleans in months And then the river,
the scenery and the atmosphere.
The half-breeds have made Quebec
the most conservative city in the
world. In the days of fur trading en-
terprises voyageurs made long trips,
even as far west as st. Louis, to sell
their furs, travelling in OK carts that
sQueaked, and the noise, mixed with
the wolf howls, could be heard easily
twenty miles on any still night.
1t is not intended to prove that all
the express in Quebec is carried on
dog carts, a natural evolution, or,
rather, degeneration of the old-time OK
cart Of the half-breeds; but it does
seem funny to see the two representa-
tives Of transportation side by side, a
modern railroad car and dog cart.

The young alligator in the picture
was separated from his companions
and fell sick. Nothing that It's owner
could do seemed to restore It's appe.
tite. It cared only to die. Bits of roast
pig, mice chopped fine and spiced with
savory herb were no attraction for the
beast.
Among the young alligators which
were its companions before the separa-
ton was a slim, blue looking creature
with greenfsh scales, and the alligator
in the picture fell in love with it. All
day long it fixed its glittering eyes on
the slim stranger as if to fascinate it.
The chum liked the gaze, and used to
pound the floor with its tail In pure de-

Though a member of no church, Mr..
Lincoln was most sincerely religious
and devout. Not only was his daily
life filled with acts Of forbearance
and charity; every great state paper

reliance on a just and merciful God.
He rarely talked, even with intimate
friends, about matters of belief. but
it Is to be doubted whether any

good kind as opposed to 'ambitus.' -

there was none. Again he turned to

smoker was too strong. He went and
looked at the cigar. It had dried out,
