It Is ©i All Sorts tlie Most Pitiful and Rldlculon*.

Our counsel is to avoid all mimicry in gardeuing As we would avoid it in speech or iu gait. Sometimes we do not mind being repetitious. "In gar­dening," we say, "almost the only thing which costs uuduly—iu ruoney or in mortification— is for one to try to give himself somebody else's garden!"

One of tbe reasons we give aguiust it is that It leads to toy gardening, and toy gardening is of ull sorts the most pitiful and ridiculous. "No true art," we say, "can tolerate any make be- j

lievc which is not in some way finer | than the reality it simulates. In other words, imitation should always be in the nature of an amiable condescen­sion. Whatever falseness, pretensiou or even mere frailtty or smallness sug­gests to the eye, the ineffectuality of a toy is out of place in any sort of gar­dening." We do not actually speak all this, but we imply it, aud we often find that the mere utterance of the words "toy gardening" has a magical effect to Huggest all the rest aud to over­whelm with contrition the bud taste and frivolity of many a misguided at­tempt at adornment. At that word of exorcism Joints of cerulean sewer pipe crested with scarlet geraniums, rows of white cobbles along the walk or drive like a cannibal's skulls around his hut, purple paint kegs of petunias on tbe scanty doorsteps, crimson wash kettles of verbenas, anthill rockeries and well sweeps and curbs where no wells are, go modestly and forever into

"Speakiug of cold blooded methods in business," said a southern merchant, "reminds me of a story they tell about a New York drummer who died sud­denly in an Atlanta hotel. The coroner telegraphed to his firm, saying: 'Your representative died here today. I await your instructions.' In a few hours this answer came back: 'Search his pockets for orders. Express his samples to New York. Give the body to a medical college.'"

Cable in Scribuer's. failed to give any relief. A friend who had a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy on hand gave each of us a dose and we at once felt the effects. I procured a bot­tle nnd before using the entire contents we were entirely cured. It Is a wonder­ful remedy and should be found in ev­ery household. H. C. Baile}', editor.
