HANGING GARDENS OF HELENA.

The strangest and most interesting
park project ever undertaken in this
country is to be found at Helena,
Mont, where the citizens are engaged
in Transforming the bald slopes of a
conical mountain which towers nearly
fourteen hundred feet above the city,
into a forest park.
There is no spring, we'll, brook or
pond upon the bare sides or rocky
submits of this singular park; nor
will it be possible to raise water from
the valley for the irrigation of trees,
shrubs and flowers, yet the expert for
esters of the Federal Bureau, who
spent last summer planning for the
planting of the park, are agreed that
several varieties of evergreen trees
will flourish there without water or
attendance.
A spiral footpath has been graded
from the city to the summit of Mount
Helena, and there an ornate pavilion
has been erected upon the highest
point of rock, 1,400 feet above the main
street. In the cliffs of the peak there
are two spacious natural caves, which
will be tenated by native bears, lions,
and other carnivora of these noun

THRIFT OF FRENCH WOMEN.
In Money Matters They Are Eminently
Practical,

That the French woman is pre-em-
inently person of charm has long
been an established fact, but that she
is equally astute in business matters
and in the management of her hus-
band, her husband and the family
purse has not been SO widely accent
ed. Nevertheless. it is all true, ac-
cording to Alvan F. Sanborn, who,
writing in a recent number of The
Independent" out of a many years
acquaintance with French affairs and
the French woman, characterizes the
latter as all things considered. the
most practical woman in the world"
Ages before 1t became the fashion
to talk about the enlargement of wom-
ans sphere she was business woman,
says Mr. Sanborn, and France is full
of women farmers, hotelkeepers and
dairykeepers. who. while they may not
be able to read. and write, ARE as eff
ficient and sagacious body of women
as the world has ever seem" Pos

ing as he does the luxurious eXpendi-

French woman to dress only another

to the Prince Regent of France that

He was taken to England, but his re-
quest to be allowed to remain in that
country was denied, and he was taken
to st. Helena, accompanied by his
faithful friend Bertrand and a few
others who refused to desert him in
his captivity. The following year Sir
Hudson Lowe, British soldier was
made governor Of the island, and there
were almost constant disputes be-

score of years, but in 1910, by consent
of the British government and under
the direction of Louis Philippe of
France, the faithful Bertrand had the
tomb under willow tree at Longwood

the face of the hero of Austerlitz and
Jena exposed to view. The body had
been embalmed so we'll that the fea-

ST. HELENA, SCENE
Of NAP0LEON'S EXILE

One Of the most widely known of the
smaller islands of the world is famous
st. Helena. For six years the great
Napoleon was prisoner on this lonely
rock in the d-Atlantic, and there the
Little Corporal of Corsica. the First
Consul of France. the emperor of the
French, the indOmitable man who
made the march to Moscow, and who
led the eagles of the French nation to
defeat at Waterloo, laid down his life
In weary exile. There his empty tomb,
whence his body was afterward re-
moved to the tomb in Paris, which is
yearly visited by all the tourists who
throng the streets of the gay capital
OF France. still stands, almost the only
memorial of the man who changed the
face of Europe.
When St. Helena was on the route of
vessels bound for India as we'll as
those for South Africa it was visited by
many persons, drawn. thither by the
glamour of mighty name. But since
the opening of the Suez Canal changed
the sea route to India and China and
fast steamships to Cape Town found 1t
not worth while to halt where there
are few good harbor facilities st.
Helena has become more and more
neglected The last use to which 1t
was put was as place of imprison-
ment for several thousand of followers
of Dom Paul when the British Boer
War In South Africa was in progress,
just as others were sent to Bermuda
and to India but now 1t is proposed to
withdraw the British garrison, and
when this Is done even the use of the
island as prison station will cease.
The garrison Is to go away next month.
St Helena lies 1000 miles off the
coast of Portuguese West Africa and
1900 miles east of South America, and
there is no land above water nearer
to it than Ascension Island, which is
800 miles away. 1t lies Is degrees
south of the equator and the climate
Is modified by sea breezes and is mod
crate and equable The island takes It's
name from the fact that it was dis
covered on st. Helena's Day, 1901, by
Portuguese navigator, Joao do Nova,
but he did not make his discovery
known until 1t had been re-discovered
a quarter of century later. The
Dutch made the first settlement there
on In 1645, but it was taken from them
by the English and granted to the
British East India company in 1857,
but the possession passed again to the
Dutch later and again to the English,
and this was thrice repeated Finally
the English gained permanent pos
session of it and there were several
thousand colonists who went thither.
They replaced the indigenous fora
with many exotic plants which flourish
there. The great variety of indigen-

the island, practically have disappear
