If I wished to teach art awkward
child, youth cr girl geed manners by
example, I should send hint or her to
Florence, says a writer to Truth (Lon- :
den). There may be Et mannered per
sons there, but I never saw cne. Poor
people behave with the suave dignity
which used in England to stamp the
lady or gentleman, ilost persons axe
brainy, tut cleverness is not eager to
pfofn. it is very subdued and more oily
thri corrosive. The cl-ratm cf .Florence
steals on cne Eke the wit of its clever
inhabitants. The senser axe scathed in
all directions by harmonious manners
and objects. Architects understood chi
aroscuro not less than the grpnft painters
and sculptors. One never wearies of the
streets and public bulldrngs. Their as
pects constantly and strongly vary, ac
cording to the course of the sun. Lights
and shades at 10 in the fcrenocri axe
wholly different from what they will
be at 4 in. the afternoon. The Floren
tine women have interesting though not
beautiful faces. But one has only to
walk into the market to see country
gfr4c who would have dene for models
for EapbaeTs Virgin mothers. One is
struck, in the galleries with the nice
judgment with which the pictures are
hung. What mere lofty in sentiment
than the tomb cf Lorenzo de Medici?
Loftiness is an attribute cf Florentine
architecture, palatial or domestic. The
doers cf private houses might pass in
England fcr portals. One feels them to
be great facts in their way.
Talking cf harmonious things re
minds me cf the Epholi gardens. Is
there a spot is England, the land of
stately and lovely scats, that at all ap
proaches them? In situation and tran
quil, generous loveliness 1 can only
think- of one the Duke of Northumber
land terraced gardens at his place in
Surrey. The Bobcii Eden, where the
Prince and Princess of Naples still court
seclusion, has the advantage over the
Surrey paradise of being under a reveal-,
ing skv. Ev try shade of greenery, every ;
Coral hue. is well breech t cut. One sees
the faultleFS teztHie of statues and
fountains mellowed by time. In so
strong a light a well ordered design is
reouired. and one has it. The raaxbles
are the climax. They are to the horti
- i
cultural beauties as brilliants to the
lace and satin of a fine woman's eress.
Florence is not what it was in the
grand, ducal days. Still, it retains the
air of a capital with a long and Oius
triens history. The ladies' dresses are
only provincial when measured by the
Paris standard, t which Italian wom
en above the peasant elass generally
submit more Tc the pity. Paris fashions
only suit Eienchwemen, unkss applied
by French hairdressers and fenrmes de

under a Psxis hat cr bonnet is at a
dreadful disadvantage if the hair has
not been first dressed, by a French art

LIGHTHOUSE IMPROVEMENT
n Tkat Have Beea ITari Xa ligkla
asd X-eT-rs.
An article about lighthouses, entitled
"The Lights That Guide-In the Islght,"
is contributed by Lieutenant JohniL
Enieott to St. Nicholas. After celling
of the growth in the number cf light
houses Lieutenant EHicctt says:
Meantime the means cf lighting were
being steadily improved. The open, fixe
gave place to the oil lamp, then a j
curved mTrrnr, called a parabolic mir- J
ror, was placed behind the lamp to ,
bring the rays together; next, many
lamps with rni''r s were grouped about;
a central spindle, and seme such lights
are still in operation- The greatest
Etride came when an arrangement of
lenses, known as the Fresnel lens, in
front of a lamp replaced the mirror 'be
hind it. This lens was rapidly improved
far lighthouse p exposes, until now a
cylindrical glass house surrounds the
lamp flame- Thfc house has lens shaped
walls, which bend all the rays to farm
a horizontal zone of strong light which
pierces the darkness to a great distance.
L,
The rapid increase m the number ct
linhthouses has made it necessary to
have seme means of telling cne from
another, cr, as it is termed, of giving
to each light its "characteristic." Col
oring the glass made the light dimmer,
but as red ccmes most nearly to white
light in brightness some lights have xed
lenses. The latest and best plan, how
ever, is to set upright priFrns at inter
vals in a circular framework around
the lens and to revolve this frame by
clockwork. Thus the light is made to
gash every time a prism passes between
it and an observer- By changing the
number and places of the prisms or the
speed of the clockwork the flashes far
any one light can be made to occur at
intervals of so many seconds far that
Iicht.
Putting in xed prisms gives still i
cther changes. Thus each. light has its
'characteristic, " and this is written j
down in signs on the charts and fully i
stated in the light lists carried by ves- ;
gels,
that
Thus, on a chart you may note
the light yeu want to sight is i
marked "F. "W-, v. W. FL, 10 sec,"
which means that it is "fixed white
varied by white flashes every ten sec
onds." When, a light is sighted, you see
if those are its characteristics, and if so
you have found the right one.

if there ever was a Mother Goose with
poetical talents which isn't likely
she was not the Mother Gccse buried fa

been haunted by sentimental, patriotic
and more or less literary visitors from
all parts of the country. It seems that
the respectable Mrs. Elizabeth Gccse,
whom legend credits with the coraposi

had no more right to a place among

and she died, and that, except the
names of her parents and the fact that
she had some children, is absolutely all

The story that she wrote, or at least
collected, the famous poems is a myth
invented by pne pf the presumably good,
lady's descendants. "Mere I'Oye1' was
from time cut of mind a character in
French fairy tales. The name first ap
peared in English in 1729, when the
prcse "Ccntes de ma mere I'dye" were
translated as "Tales cf Passed Times

the property cf John ZJewbery of Lon
don, the famous publisher cf little
books for children, and about 1765 he
utilized the trade name by printing as
a companion beck "Mcther Goose's
Melcdiesr" The latter was merely a
collection of old English nursery rhymes.
From England it came to America and
pras reprinted by Isaiah Thomas of
Worcester, Mass., about 1787, then by
Mrmroe & Francis of Boston about 1825,
and now by every cne. The fiction,
about Mrs. Elizabeth Gccse pf Boston

found in a dozen histories of the man
who held every elective office in the
power of cur sovereign people, from con

of the United. States:
"It was just following the impeach

Tt. Johnson was making his grand tour
of the country. His party put up at the

hoteL When tho presidential party were
leaving the bcencer, the carnages were
driven, from the hotel entrance across to
the east side of Broadway, and it
chanced that the one in which Mr. John

puHedup in front of genial Ed Quin
tan's railroad hotel, then at Front and
Broadway, but now, like poor Ed, no
more.
At that time an old Irishman named
Kennedy, nicknamed 'the Democrat, 1
was employed as houseman at Quintan's,
and chanced to be standing at the front

clerk and bookkeeper of the railroad.
