The Gates of Paradise.

When the plague which visited Flor

people decided as a thank Offering to
add bronze gates to the baptistery of
the Church of st. John the Baptist,
and the guild of merchants invited the
best artists of the day to compete. The
design of Ghiberti was considered
faultless, and he was intrusted with
the work on Nov %, 1903. It was
twenty-one years before the two fold
ing doors were completed, and so ex-
quisite was their design and workman

Pixies Peak In Summer.

The first part of the road to Pixies
peak is through a picturesque ravine
with beautiful mountain torrent roar

vine is popular walk. and one sees
many climbers who shoot their kOdaks
as the train passes, until one knows
exactly how it feels to be celebrity.
AS one goes on the climbers become
gradually fewer, and after three or
four miles they are left behind. Sud
denly a new turn in the road shows
that the first foothills have been sur
mounted and that we are climbing the
vast bare side Of the peak itself. The
track stretches tobOCgan-like far ahead
Great views unfold. One looks down
on lonely wooded valleys, where blue
lakes glisten, Ola tAe tops Of the noun

Some Boston Boasts.

'The Hotel Pelham was the first
French apartment house, or fiat, as
they have now come to call them, to be
opened in the United States,' said an
old Bostonian. ''At that time the late
DR.. Dix, who owned the property, had
returned from European trip, where
he got the idea. Upon his return he
brought it with him, the Pelham was
fitted up in that way, and the idea has
continued to spread until it has gone
all over the country. Another thing
that you may have forgotten is the
fact that the Parker House was the
first hotel in the United States to be
conducted on the European plan. 1t
