The strength of the French build ing, the unintlammabli! nature of their partitions, tlicir hardwood flooring and the scantiness of the furuit-hings, to say nothing of the comparatively slight use of fire for household pill poses, have generally kept Pari quite fiee from catastro phies due to tires, and at the same time have left the firemen seriously handicapped wheu it is a question of dealing with a serious conflagration A corresiM indent of the Boston Transcript, who saw a lire in Paris a few years ago, relates that while strolling along one of the principal etrects leading from the river up to tho central line of boulevards bis at teutioti was caught by a commotion in a building just across the street Smoke, was rolling out of the w in lows of the third story, ami busy hands were visible throwing items of household use out of the window with that lack of discretion ho preva lent among the savers of material at lires. Chairs and tables, a long legged stisil and items of bric-a-brae were saved from tho flames only to meet a quicker and more certain de struction on the hard asphalt pave inent. In the attic window there was a woman screaming, although it proved afterward she was quite us free from actual danger as if on the sidewalk below. A small crowd gathered and some one said, "They have sent for the firemen." The household good were taken down in a desultory way and the woman au sciicnie continued her scream. In just 15 minutes the engine ar rived. It was such a one as may be seen today at a muster in New Hampshire. It was gently led up the street by it cords anil set in position Is-nealh the windows, from which the smoke was still slowly coming forth. The firemen, who are sapper and miner in the French army, were dressed in uniform, each witli a leather helmet on his bead, and most of them with the short hooked climbing ladder in hand, of a form not unlike that now used by lis. If the previous proceeding bad been deliberate, all that waschanged now Like so many monkeys the firemen climbed from balcony to balcony, running up their little lad ders, sotbat in a moment the whole front of the budding was 'alive with men Half a dozen were on the floor of the fire, tumbling in at the w in dows, but thecoiitlagration had been too quick for them.

This i the presentation of beauty for its own sake. It appeal to the wstbetic sense alone and not to the imagina tion, and through it to our higher nature as a laudscaie picture does. It is uot necessary that a decorative group should be in any sense uat; ural, and plants with foliage of strong color or those that can 1 trained into peculiar shapes or which have an unusual habit, are ofteu the most valuable in such places. They are useful just a stones of different form and color are useful iu a mo saiu. Iu decorative gardening a plaut of golden elder or of Primus pissardi mayliave the highest value, while the same plant in a natural laudsiaipeHvould lie worse than use less and, indeed, might ruin a quiet picture by its obtrusiveues. There is another kind of garden ing, however, which has been called specimen gardening, and which ha many attractiou to genuine lover of plants. To such person a garden exist for its plant rather thau the plaut for tho garden. It i not a landscape picture that i desired, nor yet geometrical design of pleas ing form and color.

AN ISLAND IN THE JACK POT. It la nw Part of Minneapolis aoil It Worth Many fortune. At one of the most interesting games of jsiker ever played in Min neapolis Nicollet island was put in the jack pot by a man who thought he understood the game, but found therq were others who uude'v.'vd it Fifty five years ago Pierre Botti I, can tiHik up a claim ou the spot where St. Paul now stand. A year later he traded it for a horse and cow, which he drove away into the wilderness, never dreaming that the land be bail almost given away would iu a few years be the site of a great city. For a small sum he purchased a large portion of what is now tho business part of Minneapo lis and put up a log cabin on a Utile mound in the center of Nicollet is land. Half a dozen of tho old settlers, Bottineau among them, had a little poker dub. One evening the stakes kept growing larger and larger, uu til every jackpot contained a small fortune. Mr. Bottineau had liecn losing heavily, but at last was dealt a hand uisin which he hoped to rt gain his losses and win something Itfwides. He was given four queens. and, drawing one card, secured au ace, leaving four kings as the only- hand by which his could lie U'nten. He thought he saw one of the play er discard a king, and he considered his haud invim ible and played it in cordingly. Sum all but Bottineau and the man opposite him diopped their cards and retired to watch the game. The table was heaped with money aud the js-rsonal Isdonginga of the two men. The flickering light of the candle shone dimly on the flushed faces as they watched eiti ll other warily out of the corners of their ayes. All of Bottineau's poa- session lay on the talde, and it was bu bet. He looked at hi hand ture fully aud then said that all he had . left was Na-ollet island, which he would 1s t i.gamst t'.OO. The bet was ' called, aud Bottineau laid down las"' four quceu w lib a nolle of triumph. Amid a dead silence hi opponent laid on the table face i.p four king and a tray. It w a so still you could have beard them breathe. Then Bottineau called for w ritiug matei i al and made out a deed to the i. laud. From that day be never touch ed a card or countenanced uuil.liug iu uuy form.

".'If you like to send for it, I shall 13 glad to hand it over to any one whom you care to provide with a written authority for the payment,' said I, and to this she agreed with evident relief.
