Gardens of Villa Palmieri.
It takes much less time to return
from Fiesoie than to go to it. Our
driver had his brake on for over
mile and had TO do some clever ma
neuverng to get around corners
against the still rising tide of travel.
On the way back into Florence we
passed the Villa Palmieri, once known
as the Villa Medici ascribed as the
resting place of the young Floren-
tines who fled the plague many years
ago and while waiting for the pesti
lence to pass told the tales which
Boccaccio related in his Decameron.

beauty. unfortunately hidden from public
view
Before returning to the hotel We drove
in the Cascine-pronounced "Cashina -
the chief park of Florence. 1t is a long
reservation on the river bank west of
the city. comprising two parallel roads
end. Between them stretches a thick
growth of trees. with frequent open
spaces for chldren's games. an occa-
sional pavilion and in the middle a foun-
tain hordered hy flower beds. TWO race
courses lie on the .northern side. Four
or five foot ball fields are laid out along
side of the north road. and on these
yesterday games were being played
All Florence, apparently. was in the
Cascine during the afternoon afoot. on
bicycles. on horseback. in motors. IN prI-
vate carriages or hired rigs. Young men
in tWos and threes were driving in horse
taXs. enjoying themselves as much as

stead of the decrepit wrecks that con-
stitute Florence's main rapid transit mo-
tive power. The driveway was filled and
there was throng upon the broad walk

eXtremities of the drive We're crowded.
Easter Sunday was being celebrated by
the City of Flowers with Zest

would he that of the eleven million dol
lars which it carried the United states
would pay only four million dollars ana
the District of Columbia WOULD pay seven
million dollars.
But the other measure in the Iislriss :
appropriation bill. the so-called Borlahd
amendment >would if enacted. cut down
the governments contribution sun iui-
ther for it prevents any expenditure from
the national Treasury upon any improve
ments or repairs of the streets. avenues
and highways of the National Capitai.
The Borland amendment places the whole
cost of such improvements upon the aput-
ting property owners where the roadway
Is less than forty feet wide. and upon
the abutting property owners and the
District of Columbia where the roadway
is wider than forty feet. deducting in
each case the amount required to be
paved by the street railways
Further Results Enumerated.
This would mean OF course. that the
people living on the smaller streets would
pay the larger amounts. The Borland
amendment would prevent the harmonious
and comprehensive improvement Of the
highways OF the capital as has been
done heretofore out Of the common tax
fund. the special benefit. if any in the
case of the abutting property being COW
cred by the increase OF assessment.
"The friends OF the National Capital
do not seem to know generally that sec
ton and the Borland amendment have
actually passed the House and are still
very much alive in the conference COM
mittee even though the Senate has voted
against them.
THE three other measures which have
passed the House and are pending In the
Senate committee on the District OF Co
lumbia provide. first. for handing over
81 100000 Of District revenues to the United
States Treasury in compensation for an
alleged advance made by the United
States to the District on the bonded in
debtedness prior to the settlement OF
1878. when that and all other items on
both sides of the books were considered
and disposed OF. so that since that time
no Secretary Of the Treasury or con-
troller Of the Treasury or auditor of the
Treasury has recognized the alleged ad-
vance as an obligation Of the District,
and no committee of Congress until the
present time has ever undertaken to re-
open the matter.
Licenses and Similar Taxes.
Another of these measures provides
that license and similar taxes to the
amount of about S5O0.OOO a year shall not
be considered as District revenues for
the purposes of the 'half-and-half ar
rangement That is. that measure would
prevent for all time to come the appro-
priation of an equal amount from the
national Treasury to meet the amount
thus contributed by the District to the
National Capital. The third measure
places the entire cost Of improving side
walks upon the abutting property IN
stead of requiring 1t to pay half as al
present This. Of course. would anec'
most adversely the owners OF the smailes'
properties.
Besides all these, the Crisp bill frankly
repealing the 'half-and-half' arrangement
Of 1878 and making no provision for any
substitute is still pending IN the House
but it seems to be sldetracked by the
House itself in view of its extreme pro-
visions"

Secretary Lane, a group Of senators
and representatives and members OF
the Seattle chamber of commerce

fixed his signature to the act which
passed both houses of congress by
substantial majorities. The president
was in a happy mood as he signed
and In laying one souvenir pen aside
to use another smilingly remarked:
I'm change engines"
When the bill had been signed the
president made a brief speech.
Secretary Lane Immediately after
ward had a long talk with the presi
dent about the selection Of engineer
for the task. Although Colonel Goe
thals had been mentioned for tb'
work It is unlikely that he will b.

Temptation Forms Character.

No man knows how good or how
bad he is until he is sorely tried. 1t
is the fire that develops the beauty.
The gun, the bridge, the ship-these
are all put to the test, not otherwise
is it with man. Temptation lends
strength to the soul that r~esists, and
takes power from the soul that yields.
Every time we gain a victory we add
to the sum total of u manhood
Character comes by temptation. 1t is
the secret of virtue. Temptation
takes innocence and turns it into vir.
tue. Virtue is innocence under fire.

hands OF Secretary Bryan Friday
night. but he did not make 1t public.

dicated he would give the United

Mr.. Bryan, II Is said, did not reply
directly TO the recent note OF Car
rama on the Benton case, but sci
forth the wish OF the American gov
eminent with respect to a Spanish
citizen for whom the Spanish ambas
sador had asked the United States
to secure protection. The communi
cation pointed out that nations which
had recognized Huerta could not dea
