DEsTRoYING~A GARDEN.

Rome, June 1-Because the Vatican funds are low, the beautiful garden m the quadrangle adjoining the museum Is doomed to destruction.
 Y A portion of the wall of this garden. which is considered the finest example of a Renaissance garden in existence fell some weeks ago, and now the whole of the surrounding wall threatens to collapse.
 When the Pope was informed of this danger, he asked what it would cost to restore the wall, and was told that the expense would be fully $2,500 Ills Holiness then decided that such sum could not be spared in the present con- ditiop of the Church, even to save this wonderful garden, and he regretfully ordered that the walls should be de- molisheds and the garden destroyed.

For the first time the aristocratic exclusiveness of Fifth Avenue is to be invaded by the plebian flat, and great is the concern of Gotham's "400' thereat. For years they have been protestingiy retreating uptown before the advance of business, but even this has been aristocratic--high priced mill linery, art goods. jewelry and silver ware too expensive for the purses of any but the wealthy. At Fifty-second Street the Vanderbilts have expended more than $6,000,000 in buying adja- cent property in order that lofty flats, busy shops and comparatively noisy hotels might not disturb the serenity of their palatial residences. When Edward H. Hartman. who. as every body knows, loves peace and quiet above all things else. purchased the northeast corner as the site for a $250.000 mansion, the inviolability of the neighborhod seemed complete Now, sad to say, a skyscraping apartment house is to rise on the east side of the avenue to face and frown down upon the Vanderbilt houses and cast Its shadows upon the more aristocratic section of the city. To be sure the 60.5 feet of frontage cost $I,25O, 900, and the building designed for the site will cost $750000 more; so that rents will necessarily have to be considerably above the East Side level, but 1t is plebian, nevertheless.

FIRE SCREEN

CLOTHES HORSE.
White Enamel the Foundation Over
Which Decorations Were Made
Cream-Colored Satin Can Be
Used Effectively.

The accompanying sketch repre-,
sents a dainty little fire screen that
was made with the aid of a small
cl~othes-horse. A two-fold horse,
standing about three feet in height,
may, with a little trouble, be trans.
formed into a most decorative and
useful article of furniture.
The horse from which our sketch
was made had been painted all over
with white enamel, and brass balls
screwed into the top of each upright
piece of wood. Stretched tightly over
the side bars were two pieces of
c~ream-colored satin, on which had
been embroidered, in gold silk, five
empire wreaths-a large one in the
center and small wreaths at each
corner
This is only n way in which one
OF these useful little screens can be
made; but the horse, after once hav-
ing been painted and ornamented with
the little brass balls, lends itself to
decoration in many ways. Darker
colorS may, perhaps, be chosen, and
the woodwork painted to match tbs
color of the wall paper of the room
in which it is intended to be used.

IDEAS FOR THE HOSTESS.
Novel Musical and Luncheon That Is
Easily Arranged.

This pretty affair vas given for 36
guests. Six persons were set at six
small tables while a stringed orches-
ira concealed on a side porch played
softly during the luncheon.
In the center of each table there
was a candle with shade the color of
the roses used at each plate. AS be-
fitting the. month roses were used ex-
clusively throughout the rooms. The
menu was very simple, but served so
daintily. First, c%anteloupe thoroughly
iced, clans, .~sweetbread grilled on
toast, fingers, potato ~croquettes, as
paragus ~vinagrette, ices served in
crepe paper r~ose-holders to match the
decorations of each table. French
coffee, Roquefort cheese balls, bon
bons, %pistachio nuts and creme de
menthe completed the repast.
The place cards bore a musical quo
tation and the programme consisted
of soprano and baritone solos and a
harpist. All the performers were in
innate friends of the hostess. Some
of the especially good quotations are
given. They were written in fancy
letters:
Music exalts each joy, allays each
grief"
Here will we sit, ard let the sounds
of music break on Jul ears"
And softly the delicate viol was
heard, like the murmur of love or the
notes of a bird"
I'VE know they music made in
heaven"

There's music in the air."

SOUTHERN CROP CONDITIONS.
The Present Outlook for a Cotton Crop
and Some Suggestions.

From what We have seer and a
gather from reports, the prospects for
a large crop of cotton is anything but
f1attering. The cold, wet weather has
prevented many from finishing their
planting until the latter part of May,
and a majority report bad stands and
much to be planted vel. Some Sec
lions are experiencing a difficulty in
getting seed for a second planting.
Conditions are bad enough in Georgia,
but they seem to be worse In Ala
bama, Mississippi and Louisiana,
where the rain seems to have exceed
ed the fall in Georgia. Texas, too, is
far from her normal condition. 1t was
very dry until April, and since that
very wet and cold, as with us. So the
prospects o do not point to a crop
above the normal; hence we can pre-
dict good prices for our staple this
fall. The imperfect stands, the amount
of grass and the scarcity of labor, all
will prevent very many from securing
a good yield, but for the man who hus-
ties and works his crop well and
makes a good yield there is a GER
tainty of remunerative prices ahead,
and hence a sure reward for his en-
ergy and skill. Do not lose any time
in bemoaning these ~unfavorable
weather conditions, but bend every
energy to working your crop well and
pushing the cotton you have to the
very best advantage. We think many
have planted over, when it would have
been much better to have %replanted.
AS a rule the early cotton makes the
most, and where there is anything like
half a stand we would work it and put
more seed in the missing places.

1t is an old asying that "a dry May
makes a good crop" This, of course,
applies to our two principal staples.
cotton and corn, and is generally true
by reason of the opportunity afforded
to control the grass and so give all
young plants the clear right of way
and to get started, but there are other
crops for which a dry May are not so
beneficial. Small grain, for instance,
for a dry May generally means a wet
June, and June does not generally get
wet until after wheat and oats are
stacked, and it does generally get wet
before they can be housed.
