Every JapaCiese iitise of any preten sions must have i garden. The cost of one is invariably reckoned with the estimates for house building, being usually estiailtel at one-tentli the cost of the house. The Japnn Magazine tells of the proced ire: WhTei the nlwasli (landscape gar dener) gets the contraet for a garden he first makes a model--that is, a min inture garden embodying every feature that the final product will have. The first thing to be done lin laying out the garden is to select the place for the lake or pond and excavate it. The earth thus obtained is utilized for the construction of an artificial hill and also for a small Island, both of these features being considered necessities. Next in importance is the placing of the stohe lantern; then comes an artis tic bridge to the island. Next conies the placing of trees, rockrs and stone, with due consideration for the appear mnce of the garden as a whole.

Curtous Table Manners of England In the SeventeentK Century. An account of hospitality in England in 1021) gives a good idea of the man ner in which a country gentlenan of the period lived. Dintier and supper were brought In by the servants with their hats oI, it custom which is cor roborated by hytes Moryson, who says that, being at a knight's house who hald many servants to aftend him, they brought in the mets with their le'tds covered with blue enps 11). After washing their hands In a basin they sat down to dinner, and Sir James Pringle-snid grace. '1'lhe viands seemed to have bceen plentiful and ex cellent-"big pottage. long kale, howe of white' kale." which Is cabbage; "brach soppe," ptrndered heef, roast and boiled mutton, a venison plc; in form of an egg and goose. Then they had cheese, cut and luneut, 1t1d apples. [lilt the close of the feast was the most. curious thing about it. 'The tableeloth wns removed, nnd on the table were put a "towel the whole breadth of the table and half the length of it, n basin and ewer to wash, then a greet.) enrpet bid on, then one cup of beer set on the carpet, then a little lawn serviter pinited over the corner of the table and i a glass of hot water set down also on the fable; then be there three boys to say grace, the lirst the tlia i ksgiviig, the second the Pater Nosier, the third prayer for it blessing of God's church.

"low enn I muake a start?" ask men who have growl) tired of uncongenial positions. Certain th ings seetn clear. First, the Individulni must decide for himself jtst which line of work he prefers, and then he shotd se(e(nre i good knowl. edge of the theory of it. The next thing Is to develop nt knowledge of the practice of the work. and about the only way to do so is ntually to work awhile at it. lDon't he too 'badly alarmed. In this day the farming busi nesses are crying for labor, and the workers are paid well for their serv Next, he ought never to buy a pince "unseen." Ile should look over the prospective farii, consider location, soil, climate, markets and labor condi tions. In short, he nust be prepared to handle a farm business like any oth er Iijisness. lie must he prepared for hard physical and keen, mental work. If he is capable of these, especlally of the latter, he need not be afraid to venture into a farming proposition, for it will repay his efforts. But if he hasn't this ability let him stay right where he is. Never let him attempt to show the natives how to farm, for without good business management behind it lie will fInd farming about the hardest work with the poorest pay on earth.-Justus Miller in Countryside Magazine. One Way to Get Fame. Walter was something of a wag. One day his father said to him: "See here, miy son. You must begin to think of the future.
