Ancient Cardana-


 The Egyptians were conversant with the art of landscape gardening, though they had to contend with the fiatness of the land. Water, however, as an adjunct was often called into play, for there was the inexhaustible Nile. We have three plans of their gardens, as the one found in the tomb of Meryleat Teli el Amaron, which gives us the perfect idea of how a grand garden was laid out. We have, too, pictures of Egyptians reclining on chairs and fishing in these artificial lakes.

AFFAIRS At
Washington
Chinese Government Sends
Students to This Country.
Formation Of National Progress
sive Republican League
Causes Attention.

Washington. Feb. THE action
of the United States in gen.
eroUsly waving the indemnity
of $1l 100000 resulting from the Box
er uprising in China has borne good
fruit. China has since regarded this
country as her best friend, and has
sought advice and guidance from US
on matters affecting her internations.
At the present time the Chinese gov
eminent is defraying the expenses of
upwards of one hundred students every
year in American universities. These
students, as they graduate, return to
China and are scattered among the
different provinces of China for the
purpose of gradually Amercanizing the
people and customs of that country.
The formation of the National Pro-
gressive Republican League in the
fight between the insurgents aad
standpatters to control the Republi-
can party is exciting considerable COM
msnt. The President is said to be
concerned over the matter and to re-
gard it as an attempt to contest his
denomination in 1912. He is undecid-
ed whether to appear indifferent to
the League or to prepare to oppose
its activities. The attitude of Theo-
dore Roosevelt toward the League is
also causing much speculation. From
his utterancss in the Outlook and on
the platform, he is thought to be
entirely in accord with the prdnci-
pies of the new organization but
whether he endorses dts reported in
tention of urging the nomination of
Senator LaFollette for president is
an undecided question. The principles of
the League are brief. 1t aims to ne-
store government to the hands OF the
people; to prevent corrupt use of MON
ey in elections; to simplify presi-
DENTAL elections and to establish
the initiative referendum and recall.
This enunciation of so-callad RapubLi-
can principles sounds like a poll
tical platform written by William
Jennings Bryan, and demonstrates
how much political lines have been
shifted in recent years.
