The Back Yard.

Paris is city noted everywhere for
beauty, not merely of architecture, but
Of nature, and the art which good
taste is able to evolve from nature.
Particularly is 1t known for the beau
ty of It's trees and flowers and parks.
The chief gardener of the city OF Paris
has been spending two months vaca-
ton In the United States, studying
American methods in developing city
parks and gardens. He found much
to praise, but had nothing but con-
1emnation for the American city back
yard. In New York, particularly, he
found the back yards incredibly ugly
and neglected-no grass, no trees, no
vines, no flowers. The criticism would
hold good of almost any American
city, but the matter is one which
young landscape architects are be-
ginning seriously to consider. One
such in Boston, says the Youths
Companion, is making "a special study
of the problem of converting few
square yards of brick pavement into
little secluded bower of greenery,
where the family can have restful
hour or pleasant meal, in surround
ings far more attractive than the aver
age roof-garden affords. Manufacture
ers interested in this young mans
work have produced special pieces OF
garden furniture, of cement and terra
Gotta. A New Yorker has recently
told, in print, Of the curiosity he felt
at the wording of an advertisement of
some apartments to rent. One Of the
attractions mentioned was the outlook
on real trees and back yards which
were gardens. Later conversation
with the agent disclosed the fact that
the modest attempt at beauty which
the windows commanded was a real
asset. 1t raised the rentable value of
the property.

Not long ago, the Youths Com
panion, in an article on English
historical pageants, made the sugges-
ton that something of a similar kind
might we'll form part of anniversary
celebrations in this country. Since
then something Of the sort has taken
place. The observance of "Ohio day"
by the town of Rutland, Mass, was
made intensely interesting, and also
historically valuable, by a pageant in
which men, women and children were
dressed as were the pioneers of Gen.
Rufus Putnams band, and drawn by
slow-mov,ag oxen hitched to prairie
schooners." More lately still the APP
proval by Lord Tennyson of a pageant
with scenes taken from his fathers
poems, as a celebration of the hun
dredth anniversary of the poets birth,
has led to the suggestion on this side
of the water that the coming Whittier
centenary be marked by a pageant of
scenes from the Quaker poets verse.
The simplicity and historic character
of much of Whittiers poetry would
make this easy.

calf nor Mr.. Bonaparte. 1t relates to
the retirement of no less a parsonage
that the secretary of state, Elihu Root.
Mr.. Root is not we'll man. His
health is impaired, and he is inclined
to feel that he ought not to jeopardize
his remaining strength, mental and
physical, by the performance of the
exacting duties of secretary of state.
1t is not likely the change will take
place before next spring, as Secretary
Root has some matters he desires to
bring to the attention of congress dur
ing the approaching session. but there
is strong ground for the belief that it
will take place within comparatively
few months.

Santos-Dumont again comes to the
front in attempts to solve the problem
of aerial navigation. He has a
machine which he calls the hydro
plane, by which he is confident he can
make successful flights, and he has
put up a wager to that effect. That
may show the inventors confidence.

air and fly at will, in any direction and
for as long a time and distance as he
may choose, will not be obliged to

the cabinet of President Roosevelt
From time to time in the past few
months it has been rumored that both
Secretary Metcalf of the navy and
Attorney General Bonaparte of the
department of justice were likely to
retire from administration life. While
unlikely that one, and perhaps both, of
those officials may leave the cabinet
