Amateur gardeners should beware OF

objects in flowers. The attempts In
the very nature Of the case are crude.
The flowers are tortured out Of their
lovely ways. violence Is done to ia

This railroad station variety Of gar
dening has the same relation to the
true art that picture writing has to the
modern alphabet 1t resembles the
plastering of great and picturesque
cliff with a glaring advertisement Of
Beefsticker's soap.
Nothing is so deadly to landscape
or flower garden as mathematical 6g-
ures. Diamonds. crosses. squares. cir
cles and other painfully precise ar
rangements do violence to geometry In
that they are so inexact and to the
flowers and shrubs In that these grow
by a beautiful law of their own and
not by a footrule. Whether or not ma
ture abhors a vacuum, she certainly
does abhor straight lines and mathe-
imatical regularity. Monotony and uni
formity are the two things that de-
stroy both individuality and beauty.
Let your flower garden express your

In planting shrubs. When God scat

earth-the Niagaras, the Alps. the Hud-

to say that the garden of Eden was
not cut up into angles and squares. Ii
SO, Adam and Eve were fortunate to
make their escape. If the human race
had been forced to live there perma-

Geometry and botany are both nee
essary sciences. but they should not be
confused. God did not plant the gar
den of the sky in rows.

Mr.. Gladstone cared little about per-
sonal appearance. and had it not been
for the loving care of Mrs. Gladstone
his dress at times would scarcely have
been in keeping with the dignity of his
position.
During one of the Midlothian cam
paigns," Mr.. Lucy In Memories of
Eight Parliaments' informs us, when
he was a guest of Dalmeny he daily
wore an ancient. short cut. much fray

Japheth might have worn when they
took their walks abroad before the
food necessitated the ark. 1t was

vogue, among other monstrosities of
fashion, in early Victorian days. This

guise the native majesty Of Gladstone's

THE WEIGHT OF THE GLOBE.

Six Million Million Tons-What
Would Happen if the Earth Should
Come to a Sudden Standstill.
1t is not generally known that the
rotundity of the earth and its move
ment were known long before Copper
nicus and Galilei Thus, Aristotle
SAYS. almost all those who claim to
have studied heaven in its uniformity
declare that the earth is in the center,
but the philosophers of the Italian
school, otherwise the Pythagoreans,
teach entirely the contrary. In this
opinion the center is occupied by fire
and the earth is only star. which by
q circular movement round the same
center produces night and day."
The following Greek philosophers be-
lieved in the rotundity of the earth:
Pythagoras of Samos, Anaximander,
Nicetas of Syracuse, Heraclides of
Pontus, Aristarchus of Samos, Sele-
neus and Ecphantus. Heraclides. and
Ecphantus admitted that the earth
moved only upon its own axis, the
diurnal movement. The Pythagoreans
held that each star was a world, hav-
ing its own atmosphere, with an I'M
mense extent of ether surrounding It
