Secret of Good Garden Making.

In order to have good gardens we
must really care for the plants in
them, and know them Individually as
well as collectively. This is an impor-
tant part of the technique of the gar
denmaker; he must know intimately
the form and texture as well as the
color of all the plants he uses; for
plants are to the gardener what his
palette is to a painter. The two arts
of painting and garden design are
closely related, says Scribner's, except
that the landscape gardener paints
with actual color, line, and perspective
to make composition, as the maker
of stained glass does, while the paint
pr has but fiat surface on which to
create his Illusion; he has, however,
the incalculable advantage that no
sane person would think of going be-
hind picture to see If it were equally
interesting from that point Of view.

When sending car on on a record
making or breaking trip on the Pacific
coast, observes Automobile, there are
more things to be thought Of than
gasoline. oil. tires and spares-many
more-and not the least of them is the
fact that, owing to the lamentable
lack of bridges and other signs of civ
ilization, there are apt to be many
times when the car will find itself
under water. Now the modern auto
mobile. while amphibious to certain
extent, is not diver, and when the
wet begins to rise above the foot
boards there is usually a mufaed sigh
and a gurgle that sounds the death
knell Of the carbureter as well as the
ignition system.

The Decisive Factor.

Temperament is a word that has
fallen into some discredit, according
to writer in the Revue Scientifique,
but after all, temperament itself is the
decisive factor in the daily life of
every human being. Heredity counts
for much, no doubt, and environment
Is very important; but heredity and
environment together are not so in
fluential in determining the factor of
ones everyday life as temperament.
An Illustration of its potency is seen
In the ease with which fortune teller
can read the past Of perfect stran-
ger. Many well-informed persons are
skeptical when clairvoyants claim to
be able to read the past life of an in
dividual. The too credulous, on the
other hand, are amazed when some
fortune teller states accurately the
record of their lives. The feat is CON-
paratively easy. One needs but to
know what a human beings tempera-
ment is-sanguine, Emphatic, bilious
or nervous-in order to read an out
line of his or her past. Hence all i'm
posters of the successful sort, like
Cagliostro, for instance, studied hui
man temperament carefully. Charac-
ter, We are told, is destiny. 1t would
be more scientific to say that temper
ament is destiny: Opposed tempera-
ments, if united too closely, may lead
to divorce, to rivalry, to thousand
and one complications inexplicable
upon any other hypothesis. Before we
can estimate any man or woman truly
we must satisfy ourselves as to his or
her temperament

Comment is often made on the SUI
premacy of the Jewish element in the
theatrical field. Miss Ellen Terry puts
her finger on the secret of 1t in her
comments on Disraeli. She expresses
liking for his novels because of
their color, their pageantry, and then
says: "Disraeli was heaven-born art
list, who, like so many of his race on
the stage, in music and elsewhere,
seems to have an unerring instinct for
the things which the gentle only &C.
quires by labor and training" In
other words it is not the commercial
sense alone, as so many assume, that
makes Jews succeed in this field, but
the instinct she speaks Of for what
will please.
