ROYAL GARDENS. BY Cyril Ward. B.

color reproductions from original water
colors and with five pen drawings by
the author Small 4to. pp. 1872. Long
mans, Green & Co.
England Is the land OF gardens par er-
ceIIence, the country that has made the
garden q part, and an intimate one,
of home and home life. 1t is from her
that we in this country have learned
most, and borrowed most, in the build
ing I'D OF our own country life in re-
cent years. English royalty has culti-
waited its gardens since long before the
days Of Henry VIII, and gardens have
played a large part In its history, as
they have in English poetry and fiction.

Scotland at Holyrood. Charles ii. who

natural freedom OF to-day.
Mr.. Wards book is not merely one Of
beautiful pictures; 1t is also q history,
and. by happy idea, guide for horti-
culturists as well. He treats in picture
and print of the gardens at Windsor
Castle, Bagshot Park, Hampton Court,
Osborne, Marlborough House, Kensing-
ton Palace, Holyrood, Claremont and
Sandringham, but appended to each
chapter there is an article by the head
gardener Of the garden dealt with. This
is, Of course, horticulture on a regal
scale, but yet even the most modest of
suburbanites who loves the art can
gather from these pages suggestions of
value for beauty and pleasure for his
own little plot of good brown earth.
There is a touch of pretty poetry in
the arrangement of the book. It's

New York. March 20. Captain Gi-

numbering weathered barkentine Luisa

South Brooklyn. yesterday. The quiet
man. who has the peaceful looks Of a
baby, does not show in his blue eye
and leather-colored mustache the
fighter that he can be when discipline
and his own safety demand action.
Captain Ruffini is 20 years old, but
he has been master mariner for four
years The Genoese threesticker, with
her yards forward and her foremast
looking like trellis for a rose bush,
stuck in front Of two bean poles. had
discharged at Rio de Janeiro a cargo
from Pensacola when the lack Of a
charter from that port drove her to
seek better luck in New York, where
the great coal strike OF England had,
fortunately for Ruffni. kited the rates
of sail charter.

with a crew, bakers dozen of human
