Il can't say enough in praise Of the
American gardens! | think should
rave about them II ever let myself
co." exclaimed Miss Carlisle. They
are ravishing-so sunllt, abounding in
freshness and beauty! DO you realize
that they are so brilliant that can
never show paintings of American gar
dens in the same room with English
gardens. because they make them look
quite dreary? Their one fault is that
there is often too much statuary In
them, and too much OF It irrelevant.
Frequently, too, they are not rambly
enough, and seem a little self-con-
scious. In English gardens small
stones mellow with years are used,
and the furnishings add that warmth
which breeds intimacy. II Is the in
formal garden that attracts the artist.
In England these abound, with their
winding paths passing through uneven
hedges Of many varieties OF flowers.
That uneven hedge, flashing forth
vivid colors, one seldom sees in Amer.

ing climate and the vogue Of a more
formal arrangement. Ethel X. Pey-

Dickens, Poor Taste In Dress.

When Charles Dickens was to make
his first appearance in America as a
reader an immense crowd awaited him
at a public hall in Boston. The en-
thusiasm of the people had risen to
fever heat. One of his most ardent
admirers afterward told this little in
cident Of the evening:
with a few gentlemen, who wished
to welcome him and to show him at
tention. was in the little room back
Of the platform when Dickens entered
t. He was a rather stout man. with d
somewhat red face, and ! saw. to my
surprise, that he was dressed in an
exaggerated servility to the extreme
of fashion. More than this. he wore a
boutonniere in each buttonhole, and
two watches, the chains Of which were
strung agressively across his chest.
There was a gaudy bad taste in his
appearance which his friends regret
ted, knowing how distasteful 1t would
be to his admirers. who appreciated
his genius and enjoyed his writings.

"A friend Of mine," says the nara.

Of a prominent parishioner, and was
amazed to hear his hostess pleasantly
remark:
"Mr. X, that new hood OF yours

Trouble.

There is something sustaining in
the very agitation which accompanies
the first shocks of trouble, just as an
acute pain is often a. stimulus, and
produces an excitement which is
transient strength. 1t is in the slow
changed life that follows in the time
when sorrow has become stale and
has no longer an emotive intensity
tnat counteracts its pain, in the time
when day follows day in full unex.
pectant sameness. and trial is a dreary
routine; 1t is then that despair threat.

hunger of the soul is felt, and ear and

PRACTICAL RESULT IN RUSSIA.

Since the prohibition Of vodka the
price of labor in Russia has gone up
in remarkable manner, says Prof. J.
Y. Simpson In the British Weekly.

and agricultural implC ments pur.
chased on the instalmei plan have
been bought outright. Having sup
piled themselves with gramophones
and watches and new clothes, the
peasants now employ their money in
buying land and even securities, or
starting little businesses. One hundred
million roubles per month used to be
spent on vodka; today 1t remains in
the economy of peasant life. On all
hands. the people demand that 1t shall
be banished forever. The last speech
heard in the duma was that of a peas.

nent prohibition of vodka be embodied

THE JUcoLER.
Ladies and Gentlemen: l will now
show you how the saloon helps your
town financially:
With your kind permission, I shall
represent the saloon; Mr.. Jones here
will represent your town.
You see this roll of bills? It con-
tains twenty thousand dollars In cash
(the exact amount OF revenue paid by
the saloons of your town.. You see !
now put this twenty thousand dollars
down in Mr.. Jones left.hand pocket.
Now, l shall give anyone here one
hundred dollars in gold who will prove
to this audience that Mr.. Jones is
not exactly twenty thousand dollars
richer than he was before. All, see
no one is foolish enough to claim this
one hundred dollars.
What's that? VIII l explain how
can afford to be so generous? With
pleasure.
You see, while you were watching
me put twenty thousand dollars into
Mr.. Jones left-hand pocket, was busy
taking this other roll here out Of his
right.hand pocket. Now this larger
roll contains two hundred thousand
dollars (the amount of money received
by the saloons Of your town from your
citizens every year,. And so you see
that Mr.. Jones. instead Of being twen-
ty thousand dollars richer than he was
before, is really one hundred and
eighty thousand dollars poorer.
Strange you didn't notice that" you
say. Not at all. You see. made so
much fuss about the twenty thousand
dollars was putting into Mr.. Jones'
lefthand pocket that ! kept you from
seeing me take the two hundred thou.
sand dollars from his right.hand pocll-
ct.
Every pickpocket knows this old
trick.-The American Issue.
