THE SECRET OF GOOD GARDEN MAKING.

THE SECRET OF GOOD GARDEN MAKING.
In order to have good gardens we must really
for the plants in them and know them IN
dividually as well as collectively. This Ia an
important part Of the technique OF the garden
maker; he must know intimately tho form and
texture well 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 paint
ing and garden design gre closely related ex-
cept that the landscape gardener paints with
actual color, line and perspective to make a
composition, as the maker Of stained glass does,
while the painter has but a fat surface
which 70 create his Illusion: he has. however
the incalculable advantage that person
would think Of going behind picture to if
IT were equally interesting from that point OF
view.
The painter has another great advantage over
the gardener because he cannot possibly
transfer TO canvas the millions OF colors and
shadows which make up tho most ordinary
landscape he must eliminate many that his
presentment becomes more or less conventional.
just as a playwright must recognize the con-
ventions Of the stage. and these limitations
taken for granted by the public whereas the
landscape gardener has to put his equally
uhcial landscape out in real light, among real
trees, to be barred by real and moving shadows
The garden designer has no non-committal can
vas at the back Of his picture, but must be
prepared, like the sculptor, for criticism from
any standpoint, and 1t would seem as though
a composition from its least attractive side as
If, in a parallel case. they should criticise only
the backs of statues all OF which are not so
beautiful as that Of the Venus OF Syracuse
The painter has yet another advantage hard
to overestimate, in that his palette is really In
great measure the creation of his personal ar
tlst-c temperament, expressed with more or less
variation in all that he does while the land
scape architect must take the clements given
him by nature the basis of his composition
IN each separate piece OF work; this means
that he cannot use the color, form and texture
suited TO one place in another possibly only a
few miles away.-Beatrix Jones IN Scribner's

LARRY. THR INsANE HORSE.

Though getting old for a lumber camp, Larry
IS still very powerful horse; but for some
years he has been mentally unbalanced. Larry
came from Michigan; came G. foal and grew
up TO the work OF shdding logs. He had many
drivers, of many nations. and they treated him
with varying degrees OF consideration. One Of
his drivers made bet with another teamster
that Larry and his mate could skid moro logs
than eny other team in the camp. The bet was
made and q day appointed for the test From
the gray dawn until the going down of the sun
that day the horses were under the lash, and
when the days work done it was dlscov-
cred that Larry and his mate had carried 10

thousand feet Of yellow pine! That was the big
gest days work ever done In the camp Next
day when poor Larry was led out Of the stable
he was stupid. He did not understand a word
that was said to him. His strength was NOT

He was so stupid that they could not worl,

Imprisoned BY Fcebergs-
IMPRISONED BY ICEBERGs.

We had scarcely taken dozen strokes when
0e discovered ourselves to be in the midst OF
a plunging feet of icebergs. Observing an
opening between two bergs that We concluded
must lead TO open water. we pulled through It.
A sea rolled up, the opposing sides of the bergs
came together with crash that shook tens OF
ice into the sea. The next moment found us
completely surrounded by some dozen enormous
icebergs, held together by their cohesive force
The white and abrupt walls that hemmed us
IN were ct first but dimly perceived; but grad
ually the interior of our ice prison became clear
of al Vapor, and we saw that the bases OF the
bergs We're marked by sharp, shelving projec-
tions that slashel into the water with the WhirI-
ing movement OF mammoth reapers; by innu-
raerable large foraniaA which, on the down
ward roll Of the bergs, were instantly converted
into spouting geysers. and by long, deep gorges
into which the sea launched Itself with a sullen
lunge. Along their SUBMITS stood thousand
spires. ranging from giant icicles to towering
peaks. Rivulets and dinninutiye cataracts poured
down through the issures and gorges they had
fashioned, for the sun, that had now reached its
zenith, pouring his fire tipped shafts
straight into their bosoms with a consuming
heat
The play of light and color. drawn out by the
myriad fingered sum- was not less remarkable
A series Of many colored ribbons-red, orange
green. blue, indigo and violet-conforming to the
convexities and hollows in lines zigzag, verti-
cal and horizontal, stretched themselves along
the faces of the icebergs. Around transparent
cOlonnades, serpentine folds OF light wound and
unwound. An obelisk, leaning from the abrupt
side of gorge. one moment wore a cOronet
that glowed like ruby, then 1t cleaned like

On q crystal dome an Aurora slept. The bergs
nodded, heaved; the rainbow hued ribbons
wavered, danced, ran into each other. A
stronger impulse Of the ocean that set all the
bergs piunging and leaping. and the Aurora

golden spears; the colors mingled, unravelled
and again merged until the bergs from base TO

approached the station. Shortly after

mob was intent on storming the bas-

squad of patrolmen, quelled the rising
riot and no violence was attempted,

their heroine and denounce the police
in smothered murmurings.
The crowd stood about the entrance
to the station and fire headquarters,
and was strung south on Howard street
as far as Front avenue and east and
west on that thoroughfare for over 30
yards. The patrol wagon and the fire
apparatus were called out in an effort
to dispense the rabble, but the excited
populace paid no heed. When Mrs.
Hazlett was finally released on fur
nishing $25 bond, the mob went wild.
