Hut tho hour was much too early mid too drowsy to allow of any expression of diiucnt It is nn old question, that lH"tween the sopntry of tho two worlds. It in simple enough, however, with nn obvious answer. Hero it is primeval and virgin nature; there, nature affected by man mid art The difference between European and American trees and woodlands Is sig nificant of this. Early lu September an acquaintance took m to look at a re markable oak on hi place in Essex, which he said hud been thought by some persons to be a relio of the ancient Brit ish f orest This oak, which was not Tory high, threw its powerful arms straight out in all directions over a wide space of ground. Certainly mc.h a tree could not have stood in an aboriginal forest There would not have been sufficient sun to produce so great an amount of leafage, mid there would have been no room for such a vast lateral extension. It so happened that only a few months before, in June perhaps, I had seen in Tennessee a good deul of a forest which was almost virgin. The trees went straight upward to a great height, the holes being clean of branches a long distance from the ground, and the leaf age scant, except at the ton, where it re ceived the sun. I rode into the middle of this forest The trees wore often so close together that it wonld have been hard for a horse to go between them, and my horse followed the bed of a stream which was so shallow that it scarcely more than wet his fetlocks, the rhododendrons being very thick on each side of me. Halting in the midst of the level floor of the forest, it was an Im pressive scene which I found. The pale, lofty trunks stood everywhere parallel, and with a stately decorum and regular ity, except where, half way up the ad jacent mountain side, some tumbling trees, leaning at auglos against their surrounding fellows, which had arrest ed them in falling, varied the (uiivcrsal propriety with a noble confusion, the gray trunks looking like mighty Tallen pillars of a ruined tcmplo. It is true- that our scenery is not very rich iu its associations of human history. This source of interest we have here only to a slight degree. But the land scape has its own history. Is it not well to consider that history? Is not scenery made more impressive by tho study of those, sublimo changes which have pro pared the world which we see, and may not the disclosures of men of soionco, so far as the unlearned arecapabloof com prehegding them, be brought to the sorv iuo of the Bonse of natural beauty? Another contrast there may bo in tho scenery of tho two lands. There is this to be said of English scenery it 1m suit able to the luxury and comfort of Eng lish country life. It is appropriate to the English floshpots. There are plenty of oonntry houses throughout England in which material comforts are of the best, and which at certain seasons con tain much agreeable oompany of both exes. I bad some experience of such a house In Surrey. The library waa excel lent For .a wonder the weather waa good, the -ephemeral British sunshine remaining all day on the southern walla and really lavish among those flowers of the garden yon do not know by name. Easily detained by such an axistenoe, yon an not inclined to anything mora active tkan some kind of pleasant read ing ao4 are likely to lose your plaea at chat, while yonr gue rests upon the hill to the west To such a life and nek state of mind the vague, soft as pect of the Surrey hills waa moat suita ble two impalpable ranges of hills, al tering to the eyea. Essence they seam ed rather than aatbstanoe or matter, nd unreal, save in thoir gentle emer ald coloring. And they were always ly ing there, quivering as in a dream a mirage which did not go away. If there is an agreement between lux V7 nd English scenery, my sentiment is that, on the contrary, luxury does not rait our scenery. An iron foundry, Strang to say, does no harm. A forge, a factory by the side of pond filled with water lilies I have now in mind the New England landscape these are not nnanitable. Bat a fine house in soms way is, and my sense of incongru ity extends as well to those mansions which a friend describes as Queen Anne In the front and Mary Ann in the rear. Architecture, both private and public, should be such as is suited to the local requirements said history. A white spire, for instance, marking such a church as New England fanners have bnilt for generations, what an eloquent object in a wide and undulating view! E. & Nadal in Century.

Somft VYilMnl Thinks Thnt Thin Are llet ter In America Thnn Klwwhera. In 'the London Standard is given nn admirable account of nn Interesting in terview which a Rnsslati Journalist lias had with Count Leo Tolstoi. Tbn journalist had beforehand ap prised tho count of his intention and stated that tho theme of conversation lnwished to start would lio "the vicious tetidencyof society," or briefly, "inbred sin," mid tho count consented hi give his ideas on the subject ns follows: "Hupiiose for il moment, " paid he, "that six tigers had lieen brought in a solid iron cage to sotiio tneiuigerio in the government of Tula. (In on to sup pose that tho beasts had broken loose nnd spread over tho plains and forests, attacking the inhabitants. Naturally, if these six tigers were killed or caught und shut up ngiiin in their rages, tho mischief would he at nil end. Home peo ple sccin to think that the case of vi cious men is similar, in which they lire altogether mistaken. Vitiated human lieings are not tigers in Tula, hut wolves wolves which regularly breed there mid have dono so for generations, and which it is absolutely impossible to ex terminate. " "Yon proM)e, then, count" "I declare that if I (hid that ill nty own house fleas tiro breeding it would be straiigo for me to try and catch thcXe Insects ono by one. A much simpler way is to clean out all the dust mid dirt from the house, and tho fleas will disappear of themselves. " "And what havo yon to say, connt, of the rapid development of 'the vicious tendency' which is to bo observed now even in the most cultivated society?" "It is duo to the absence of good sense and of love. I consider the cultured so ciety nf today, ns yon call it a some thing nbnominl. Common sense has lost its footing there, and, as for love, it is conspicuous by its absence. It is very sad. 'Inbred sin' (zluya volia) leads to grewsomo consequences, especially be cause it is never possiblo to define the form in which it is likely to manifest itself or tho victims predestined for it If a dying horso in the street lushes out in spasms, any passerby may fall under his hoof." "You say a 'dying horse?' " "A 'dying' or raging or bolting, it is all the sania I mean an 'abnormal' animal, just in the some condition as an abnormal mnn of vicious tenden cy. "And which nation do you consider the most abnormal nt the present timo Americans, French, English, Ger mans?" "At any rate, not Americans!

Nevertheless I sent tho MSB. over the ocean, thinking it wonld be accepted by any paper as ea gerly as my other productions. Not a bit of it The translator took it to 14 different editors without it getting ac cepted and flually it had to be sent to England" "If not America, connt, then?" "Why, Frnncel Can nnybody consid er Fratice as normal whero such things as 'Panama' occur, where men occupy ing high positions in society are ready to commit any crime for gold? Is that a normal state? A thousand times no!" MiMtr of lHvlntttlnn. If a Scottish maiden desired to sum mon tho imago of her future husband, sho read tho third verso, seventeenth chapter, of the book of Job after supper, washed tho supper dishes and retired to bed without uttering a single word, placing underneath her pillow tho Bi ble, with a pin thrust through the verso she had read. On All Hallow cvo various modes of divination were in vogue. Pennant gays that tho young women de termined the figure and size of their husbands by drawing cabbages blind fold, a custom which lingers still in some parts of Scotland They also threw nuts into tho fire, a practice prevailing also in England, as Gay has described: Two basal nuts I threw Into the Hunt, And to each nut I save a sweetheart's name. This with tho loudest bounce me oreanuued, That la a flame ot brightest eolor biased. As biased the not, so nifty thr paaeion grow. Or they took a candle and went alone to looking glass, eating an apple and combing their hair before it, whereupon the face of the future spouse would be seen in the glass peeping over the foolish girl'ssnonlder. AU the Year Round. Dwarflaft Daenbo Trees. The dwarfing of bamboo trees is an important branch of the Japanese nur sery business. A few weeks after the shoots begin to grow, and when the trunks measure about 8 inches in cir cumferenoe and 6 feet in height the bark is removed, piece by piece, from the joint After five weeks, when the plants get somewhat stout; the stem is bent and tied in. After three months, when the side shoots grow strong enough, they are all cut off five or six inches from the main trunk, they are then dug up and potted in sand. Care should be taken not to use any fertiliser, but plenty of water should be given. Cut off the large shoots every year in May or June, and after three years the twigs and leaves will present admirable yellow and green tint.

When the wntor rushed Into my lungs and stomach, it felt for nil the world like a pleurisy pain, which lias nlso given me a tussle in later years, btit was over in a second, writes a man who was once nenrly drowned Then my body nettled quietly to the Imttom, nnd my arms fell limp by my side. In my half eonsi'lons condition I could see nil my relatives and acquaintances crowd ing about ma and looking down on mo With tearful faces. AU the events, it t'cmed, of my can-er passed slowly in review, nnd tho good, had unit Indiffer ent nets stood out. before mo in bold re lief. I knew 1 was drowning nnd re member thinking, "Why, this is not so hard, lifter nil!" I wondered where my body would be found ami shuddered at the thought that it might never Ihi found. I also won dered whether or not my companion had become alarmed and run away und lilt me to my fate, or whether be was div ing hero, and there to Undine. Then I pictured my burial, mid how the clods Would resound on my eollln whea it was lowered into the grave, mid my fate would bo pointed out to other boys by anxious mothers ns it warning. At the next stage I could' lictu bells loftly ringing in the distance, together with little tinkling nnd chirrups sound ing in my ears. Tlieu I began, to pea pretty pictures. The colors of tho rain Low danced beforo my eyes nnd inter mingled mid formed into all sorts nf odd shapes. I had no pain and no fear of what was expected to follow. I seem ed to bo enchanted at tint sceno bofore me.' Everything was light mid calm and moved nlsmt without any vlsiblo impelling force. It was like looking into a largo mirorr with every beautiful thing that thn most vivid imagination could conjure up revealed thereby. The last stage that I entered increas ed the beauty of the surroundings. All discordant noises ceased and were super seded by tho softest sweetest music that could be thought of. Apparently I had been transported to a place flooded with bright, calm sunshine. It was neither too hot nor too cohl, but seemed like a clear autumn dny. Then I seemed to rise from the ground and float off into space like thistle down. Higher mid higher I went until I seemed to look down on the world from a great height, and then cmne a blank. The next thing I know I was lying on tho raft with my companion looking down on me with a pale face. New York Journal Chinese Women's Feet. It is the common understanding among Americans that the women of China have dwarfed feet. From the timo that China was opened to explorers books of travel, and especially school textbooks, have been filled with descrip tions of tho dreadful agony to which Chinese women were subjected to make their feet small. According to these ttories and according to the popular be lief in America, the feet of Chinese girl babies are put in compresses until their growth has been stunted Travelers in China hove described the attempt of Chinese women to walk as something very painful. No ouo would be shocked at Mrs. Yang Ju's pedestrian stylo. It is true, tho interpreter of tho legation tolls mo, that in tho southern provinces of China women's foot ore dwarfed, but it is only in tho southern provinces that small feet are considered a mark of aristocracy. Mrs. Yang Ju's foot wero nover put through tho dwarfing process. Neither bid thn feet of her children undergoing that painful operation. Tho little tots run about thn legation halls freely, and dii tho day when I was there ono of them took a long peep at me through the door way of tho reception room when I was not supiioHcd to bo looking in that direc tion. This littlo fellow was dressed in tho gaudy silks which are nn invariable Foaturo of the Chinese custom. Wash ington Star. Strange Captivity. The springbok of South Africa mi grate in vast herds, moving in a com- fiact body and carrying everything be ore them. If a flock of sheep be in tho line of march as it sometimes happens it is surrounded, enveloped and be comes, willingly or unwillingly, part of the army. An African hunter tells tho strange story of seeing a lion in the midst of the antelopes, forced to join the march. It is supposed that the lion had sprung too far for his prey, that those upon whom he alighted recoiled mffloiently to allow him to reach the ground, and then the pressure from both Banks and the rear prevented him from Neaping from his strange oaptlvity. If the springbok travels in such ar mies, how can those in the middle and rear find food? In this wise: Those in the front ranks, after they have eaten greedily of the pasture, gradually fall out of the ranks to rest, while the hun gry ones in the rear oome up, and so the columns are all the while changing. ftttsburg Dispatch.
