ITALIAN GARDENS. U<e Cednr. Cypress and the Orangs Tree Mingle Their Foliage. I’erhaps nothing about Italian gardens studies us as so wonderful as the arbor walks, or pergolas, where nature seems so absolutely docile to the baud Os man. The desire is to make a dense shade—a retreat where one can shut out the hot sun—and to create this trees of a great many different sorts have been planted close together ami their branches so carefully interwoven that they form a complete trellis on the two Sides and above, so that cedar, cypress, orange and lemon trees mingle their foliage, all seeming to be lighted up by the pale golden globes of the fruit. With us the merest twigs of such trees would be supposed to have a stubborn individuality, rendering it impossible to train them to take the place of vines. In Italy for centuries everything has been done to create a grateful shade at noon, where one can rest or sleep and leave the world outside to the cicadas, that, when thousands of them take voice together at once, make rather a soothing sound. Along the terraces of the Villa Carlotta, on the lake of Como, these covered arbor walks lead into groves of ilexes, and there until past midsummer out of the silence and coolness the nightingales sing not only all night, but all day long. In spite of the lavish beauty of the land, the impression that remains after summer travel In Italy is of the inhabitants living very close to nature, almost subordinating her operations to their own needs. Nature is so pruned, so tended, her least effort so pressed Into the service of man. The plumy cypresses, it is true, have nothing to do but stand sentinel by the belvldwe ter races; so with the Ilexes. But the poplars are trimmed to flagpoles for the sake of fagots, and every leaf of the mulberry trees, across which the vines fling their festoons and garlands, is destined to feed the silkworms, and as soon as the maggots are ready to eat, the peasants, with huge bags, mount the trees and strip each branch of its foliage. The olive orchards that make a silver mist on the hillsides are busy perfecting their utetul harvest. Wherever a ledge of rock offers an Italian peasant makes a garden, carrying up the soil sometimes into almost Inaccessible places. But there he will plant leeks, herbs, salad and beans, besides a patch of wheat, the latter not for the half loaf of bread it might make, but to furnish straw to plait hats in winter. Nature is no niggard. The little red poppies blossom out of every cranny and chink and make a blaze of color In the most unexpected places. Oleanders have away of tossing their tufts of rosy blossoms along the white walls, Bengal roses, clove pinks, carnations and larkspurs grow wherever they can be tended and a little rill of water directed to their use. but the summer of Italy is of great heat, arfl after the great gush of flowers in spring the vaunted Italian gardens remain dry intersections of graveled paths with clipped hedges, flights of steps, urns and statues. Nothing can be dearer to artistic taste, but for the real Joy of gardening nothing can be equal to what the poet Gray called having “a garden of your own, where you plant and transplant and are dirty and amused.”—Philadelphia Ledger.

Bird Inspired Music. One of the most pathetic scenes remembered from the experiences of an unhappy genius is given, among other facts, about Beethoven in the "Life of Sir Herbert Stanley Oakeley.” The great composer delighted iu the outdoor world. He loved a tree, he once declared, with pardonable exaggeration. “better than a man.” After he had become stone deaf he visited the valley of Heiligenstadt, near Vienna, where lie had stayed iu other and happier days. “Here,” he said to the friend who accompanied him. “I composed my ’Pastoral Symphony,' and here the birds composed with me. Can you hear a yellow hammer?” “No.” wrote his friend on the conversation slate. “And in the symphony I only remember the nightingale, quail and cuckoo.” He believed certain phrases to have been meant for a direct imitation of certain birds, but Beethoven s method was a more poetic one. The birds had inspired him; they had “composed” with him. But they had done it by contributing unconsciously to the joyous harmony of the scene. Beethoven in answer to his friend’s suggestion took the slate and wrote upon it a passage for the flute in the “Brook Scene.” That was what the yellow hammer bad inspired him to do. The “Breatbing Cave." In the western part of North Carolina, iu the mountains known as the Fork range, is located the most remarkable cavern now known to exist. It,is called the Breathing eave and is certainly a most wonderful natural curiosity. During the summer mouths a current of air comes from it which is so strong that a full grown man cannot walk against it, and in winter the inrush of air is equally strong. At times a most unpleasant odor is emitted from the cave, which is supposed to be from the carcasses of dead animals which have been sucked in and killed by coming In contact with the in- „<■ fi.o inanimate, breathing monster. During the spring months, when the change from inhalation to exhalation takes place, the air is filled with pellets of hair, dry bones, small claws, etc., which are supposed to come from creatures sucked into this '.ty land maelstrom in times passed. Many scientists have visited ami revisited the place for the purpose of study mg i - peculiartifs but still the mystery remains unexplained.

The Dead of the Sea. An inquisitive Frenchman has thought it worth while to ask what becomes of the bodies after death of the numberless fish and other living creatures that fill the sea. Os course they all die, sooner or later, and yet it is an occurrence so rare as to be practically unknown for anybody who lives beside or on the ocean to come across the ‘remains'’ of even a single victim of the fate that awaits all things mortal. In the profounder depths putrefaction cannot take place, so if the dead fish once reaches those calm, chill abysses he would be preserved until the end of time. Probably, however, no sucli peaceful repose awaits more than an infinitesimally small proportion of the finny folk, and no great accumulation of lifeless bodies exists at the bottom of the sea. The living eat the dead before they can make the long, slow journey downward. As a matter of fact, extremely few fish, and perhaps none, ever meet what is known as a “natural death.” Almost always they are slain and devoured and so put definitely out of the way. First Recorded Yttelit Race. A race across the Atlantic ocean would have seemed a wild romance to King Charles 11. when he took a leading part in the first recorded yacht race. “I sailed this morning,” says Evelyn on Oct. 1, Ififll, "with his majesty in one of his yachts, or pleasure boats, vessels not known among us till the Dutch East India company presented that curious piece to the king, being very excellent sailing vessels. It was on a wager between his other new pleasure boat, built frigate-like, and one of the buke of York's; the wager, £100; the race from Greenwich to Gravesend aiyj back. The king lost It going, the wind being contrary, but saved stakes in returning. There were divers noble persons and lords on board, his majesty sometimes steering himseif. n “Yacht?’ a word new to England in 1660, is from “jagten,” to hunt, to speed, connected with our “go.”—London Chronicle.

Resting the Heart. “Rest your heart now and then during the day,” said an instructor in gymnastics. “But the heart can't be rested,” a pupil objected. “It works incessantly from birth to death.” “It rests the heart to lie down,” said the instructor. “Every night’s sleep of nine hours saves the heart the lifting of 32,000 ounces of blood. Considerable rest there, eh ? “When we lie down, you see, the heart's action becomes slower -slower by ten strokes a minute. Thus in an hour 600 strokes are saved and in nine hours 5,400 strokes. Each stroke pumps six ounces of blood, and therefore in nine hours the heart is saved the labor of pumping 32,400 ounces. “The heart often requires a rest.”— Philadelphia Bulletin. Ran the Hole Ont of Town. A lecturer recently told of a Russian he saw some years ago in Manchuria whose methods of achieving results were not according to the usual code. The Russian had a well in his front yard which he concluded to till up. He began digging a holfc by the • side of the well, throwing the dirt from the new excavation into the well. “In the course of time,” said the speaker, “the old well was filled, but there was a hole alongside as big as the first. The Russian went farther away and dug another hole to fill the second. He continued this process of digging one hole to fill the other until he literally ran the hole out of town.” Health and Money. There is this difference between those twp temporal blessings, health and money; Money is the most envied, but the least enjoyed; bfeaith is the most enjoyed, but the least envied, and this superiority of the latter is still more obvious when we reflect that the poorest man would not part with health for money, but the richest man would gladly part with all his money for health. Snsgcstive. “Gee whiz!” said George for the twentieth time. “It makes me mad every time I think of the $lO I lost today. I actually feel as if I'd like to have somebody kick me.” “By the way, George,” said the dear girl dreamily, “don’t yoil think you’d better speak to father this evening?”— Philadelphia Press. The Lot’s Advantages. Advertising Expert—l’ve written the praises of all these lots but one. I’m afraid you can’t sell that one. Real Estate Agent—What’s the matter with it? Expert—Why, it’s on an almost perpendicular hillside. Agent—Cail attention to its wonderful drainage facilities.—Cleveland Leader. No More Work. Hicks—l suppose Dremer is still pottering alone at his inventions. WicksWell, he has actually perfected a great labor saving scheme at last. Hicks— You don’t say. Wicks —Yes; he’s going to marry Miss Roxlay.—Catholic Standard and Times. The Lesser Evil. “I don’t see wliy you asked Mr. Bohr to sing,” said the popular girl's sister. “I bated to'do it.” was the reply, “but it was the only way to make him stop talking.” To the Manner Born. Grubber—What a well bred man Mixer is! Dum’oy (who doesn't like hinn-He ought to be. His father is a baker. Do all the good you can to all the people you can as long as ever you can in every place you can.
