HORTICULTUBAL HALL- Derelape Habj Beatlfal Fluts Suitable fer Gsxdems, An Visit te lifabea Pnrat Bay lata av ValaabU Ohjeet Leuaa. The weather waa so Inclement last San- day aa to almost preclude visit to any of the various resorts, especially during the day up to 4 o'clock In the afternoon, when the weather cleared somewhat; and the rain, which had been fall-lns; ll day long, had ceased.

Notwithstanding this state of the weather, aome few people took advantage of temporary cesssatlona In the downpour to visit Audu bon park, bat, arrivlnx there, they were compelled to aeek abetter in horticultural haJL Instead of detracting from their pleasure, however, this fact rather added to It, for they thna had an opportunity, which they were compelled, so to speak, to avail themselves of for want of any thing else to do, of examining the various plant aad shrub contained therein In a much more careful manner than they would ordinarily have done. Superintendent Baker, who was on the groocida, waa thua afforded a chance of ex talcing to those few people the nature of many of the plants to which they were entire strangers, and when their attention waa called to each they wondered that they had psased and repassed these same pnaata, now era, trees na snrun-bery. and never rave them any atten tion. They were astonished that each should have been the case and they lis tened to Mr. Bakers explanations wiLn great attention and Interest.

The Information he Imparted to those present, given as a whole, almost amounted to a lecture on horticulture. and will no doubt prove of great Interest to lovers of plants and flowers. lie said in eubstance that the urge collection of olanta and sowers in horticul tural hall contained many rare and some familiar species. Many of them were commonly grown in the gardens out In tbe open air and In conservatories, bat tn the hail they- attained autih proportions ana sizes that the appearance by which they were known In tbe gardens was lost, and many who knew them well In gardens looked upon them as entire strangers la the hall. They were In realVty old friends la the disguise of giants; the even temperature maintained In the hall, and the constant care and attention bestowed upon them caoerng a growth and development closely resembling that attained by these plants in their native homes.

This, he said, waa especially the case with palms and the Utter being varieties of the IndU rubber tree. It had already happened that some grand soechneos of tkeae kind of oJaarto or. rather, tree had been destroyed In order to orevent them from rrowrar taroarn the roof, forty feet above. Looting close ly at sosne or tne specimens ox paims the tops of whacta scraped the roofa, the resemblance to arm a 11. dwsrrfed specimens often seen In gardens could be discerned.

Mr. Baker, continuing, said that a per son might walk through the hall many times and on each occasion be attracted by some plant or thrub which had escaped hla or her attention on previous oc casions and wnocn naa entirely escaped their notice. Pine trees are well known to the peo ple of this city as a rule, and If an ordinary observer passing tferough horticultural haU would be told that they had passed fire or six varieties of pine trees they would most nrobablv think tkat there must surely be some mistake about tbat. well, the fact la that among tne most beautiful trees tn the hall are the varieties of Araucaria. which is a species of pines, native of Brazil, Chill, and the islands and commonly xnown aa "Norroix pines." In their native lands these pines grow to an enormous heighth, the ''Araucaria Excels" attaining a height of 200 feet.

In horticultural hall there are some five or six different specie, from to 25 feet In height, sad more beautiful and symmetrical trees could not toe seen anywhere. At the ton is a tint oz leaves, snapen Uke an Inverted umbrella, but the leaves are almost aa delicate as the maiden hair tern. Them branches of almlUr leaves shoot out In great regularity from the side the trunk down to the ground. formlnx a beauniui ieaiy cone. The coior la of the brightest green, and these tree cannot zau to attract atcenuem, even from the casual passer-by.

Mr. Baker caue especial attention to a pUnt which is called tbe "Uarica Pa ova." or "Melon tree." He nointed to several of them, which were In various stages of growth, ana some oesnng diss-soms and fruit. The general aspearaace of the melon tree is tropical, and the leaves are most beautiful in contour aad la the tracery of the veins, and would form a fine study to the artist designer. This tree a native of the West Indies and other tropical coun tries. Where the fruit Is eaten, aad when cooked the flavor much resemble that of the well-known "squaeh." At present there are not many ptanrs la bloom In the hall, hot among- those that are la the "Duranta Plume rH." Thia is a very pretty green nouae sarua, with dark e-reem learea and bearing clus ters of light blue flowers larger than, but somewhat reeembnng the "Lantaaa."

Training the Beffjdar Artillerymen Hew te Shost. The Mney Spent lm Tarnret Practice at the Farts Waa Well Iavestca. Battery First Artillery, In command of Captain Wm. Bafferty, returned to -Jackson barracks on Sunday evening, after tea daya of target practice and drill with the rapid-fire guns at Fort St. Philip.

Lieutenant Jesse NlchoIIs, who waa detached on special duty down there, which he performed with marked success and ability, aUo returned to the post. The officer and men of Battery were delighted to get back to their old quartere, where tbe bst of comforts and conveniences are obtainable. Captain Bafferty said that he was well pleased with the marksmaaahlp displayed by hla men. The target range varied from 100, 200 and 800 yards, and for men who had had no practice, with possibly a few exceptions, they developed considerable skill, and demaaatrated the fact that with more practice they would mo become very oroflclent. The drills 'with the large guns at the fort were a rovel experience ior tne aoioiers, ana they not only took deep Interest In learning how to handle them, but also acquired the first rudiments with comparative ease, which Indicates that they nave the will and menial qualincatlons, and only lack the practice, to become efficient.

Th skill of Captain Bafferty's battery haa been elevated to a high standard, aa a result of his Indomitable energy and tlreleaa efforts In that direction, and he haa reason to be proud of it. Yesterday evening Battery commanded by Lieutenant Chaa H. Whipple, left for Port St. Philip oa the Orover Cleveland, to have its turn at target practice. Like the members of Battery 0, those of Battery will shoot aeventy rounda apiece, which deemed amply aufflclent for the men to show If they have the genuine mettle.

Half of Battery will return In ten days, while the remainder will garrison Fort St. Philip for three months, when they will be relieved by a large detachment from Battery O. Lieutenant Whipple will be In command at th fort until the battery la called back. Lieutenant NlchoIIs resumed his former occuDatlon recruiting officer aad ad jutant yesterday at Jackson barracks, and went to won wiia renewed vim ana vigor. truth of it th lieutenant Is a born hastier.

Lieutenant NlchoIIs will recruit men far active service in the Philippines. He received a number of applcants yesterday. Captain Bafferty paid a compliment to th mosquitoes and sand-flies at Fort St. Philip. He praised their staying and affectionate qualities, aad noted-the fact that they attested their friendship in a stinging mannsr.

To say that they were tame would be expressing; it mildly, and he assured Lieutenant Whipple that they would tender him noisy and warm reception last night, Cat Wiavtor Seaiatal.

Editor Picayune: Several communications In regard to the, at present. Interesting; subject of charbon or anthrax, aaviag receatly appeared In your columns, notably the letters of Dr.

Tlchenor aad Mr. Shields. It weald seem that the following extract from an article In Harper's, for June, entitled, "The Century's Progress In Scientific Medicine." by Henry Smith Williams, M. might' be Interesting and sattsfactory readlnx. In February.

1S8L he (Pasteur) announced to the academy that with the aid of hla assocUtes, MM. Chamber land and Boux. he had produced an attenuated virus of the anthrax microbe, by the use of which he could protect sheep, and, presumably, cattle, against that fatal malady. 3. hla announcement waa Immediately challenged In a way that brought It to -the attention of the entire world.

The president of aa agricultural society, realizing the importance of the subject, proposed to Pasteur that hU alleged discovery ahouldbe submitted to a decialve public test. He proposed to furnish a drove of fifty sheep, half of which were to be Inoculated with the attenuated virus. Subsequently all the aheep were to be Inoculated with virulent virus, all belnc kept together In one pen under precisely the same conditions. The "protected" sheep- were to remain healthy, the unprotected ones to die of anthrax, so read th terms of the proposition. Pasteur accepted the ehaHejage; he even permitted a change In tn programme, by which two goata -wer substituted for two of th sheep-r-and tea cattl added stipulating, however, that since his experiments had not yet been extended cattl.

these should not be regarded aa falling, rlxldly within the term of the test, It waa a test to try the soul of any man. for all the world looked askance, prepared to deride th maker of so preposterous a claim aa Soon aa his claim should be proved baseless. Not even the fame of Pasteur could make the public at Urge. Uy or believe in the possibility of what he 'proposed to accomplish. There waa time for all the world to be informed of the procedure, for the first- "preventive" Inoculation, or vaccination, as Pasteur termed It, was made on the 6th of May; the second oa the 17th.

nnd another interval of two weeks most eUpse before the anal Inoculations with the nnattemoated vima. Tweaty-f ear sheep, one goat and five cattle were submitted to the preliminary vacdnationa. Then on the 81st of May all sixty of tbe animals wer inoculated a protected and aa unprotected alternately with aa extremely virulent culture of anthrax microbes that bad been ta Pasteur's Uboratory since 1887. This ae-compliahed, the anlmala were left together intone Incloure to await "the Issue. Two days Uter, the 2d of June, at the appointed hour- of rendeavoaa a vast crowd, composed of veterinary surgeons, newspaper, correspondents and farmers -from far and near gathered to witness the closing scenes of this scientific tourney.

What they saw waa one of th moat dramatic scenes In tbe hls-try of peaceful science, a scene which, as Pasteur declared afterwards, "amaxed assemWy." -scattered about the Inclosure, dead, dyinx or manifestly sick unto death, lay the unprotected animate, one and, alt, while each and every "protected animal" stalked unconcernedly about with every appearance of perfect health. Thna In a manner theatrical enough, not to say tragic waa proclaimed the unequivocal victory of aciene. The unbelievers struck their colors nnd surrendered without terms. -The principle of protected vaccination, with a virus experfmeatany prepared la the was established beyond the reach controversy.

DAILY FASHION HINT. Someone at Faalt. Some one lm slow to learn that the essential point in the use of braid Is in the application on't. That Is, that a little put on In a novel or picturesque way haa greater decorative value thaa expensive quantities or any amount of Intricate -designs. Whether the fault for tardiness with tailors snd dressmakers or with their customers is hsrd to ascertain.

The former are quick to aee what their patrons want and to apply it, so probably the responsibility rests with fashionable women. It la more serious than appears at first gUnce, because it ao often happens that by striving after striking effects and ortglnalrty wrth free use of braid a dress becomes over-trimmed. That is a bad sort of failure because It convicts the owa's wearer of ignorance or bad taste or both. When a little trimming la made to set a gown off prettily and In a new way, it Is made apparent that the owner either Ingenious and tasteful, or that her purse permits her to hire a dressmaker who poasesses those faculties. Either point Is a desirable one to attain.

So, study the simple gown the artist puts here, and let it be instructive. Though of brown and right, blue checked cheviot and of nneUborate plan, the arrangement of Its braiding was sufficiently nnosual to make it a model of janntlneas. The collar of light blue cloth braided with white was not essential, but waa an addition, and white about tbe neck or shoulders of euch a get-up is always a safe recourse. White wash chamois gloves bob up for summer wear as serenely aa if white gloves were not rather out of vogue. Be sure to have them fit loosely; she who wears a six and- a quarter had better get a seven In tbe chamois.

It a fact that some of these "wash" gloves will wash, but whether yours do or not, they will he much cheaper than the regular kid, and they do not soil so quickly. Beside they are not ruined ao promptly by perspiration, and the hand la cooler In them. So they are desirable wear for anmmer. The Hsraial Sefcool.

The exhibit wlU continue through the week, and friends of the institution are Invited to come and inspect 'It A New Orleaa Nurse la Casta.

The following Interesting letter from Miss Florence Applegate has been received by the Picayune. Miss Applegate, It will be remembered, left New Orleans early In the spring In company with Miss Farish to go to Cuba as a nurse of the Bed Cross hospital corps, under the direction of Mlaa Barton. Both Miss FarUh and Mlaa Applegate rendered valuable services to the United. States by their field and hospital work aa aurses In the war with Spain. Touched by exUtlng conditiona la Cuba, Mlssea Applegate and Farish returned, and entered the Bed Cross hospital corps to devote themselves to ameliorating the condition of the sick and needy Cubans.

MUs Applegate wrltea to the Picayune as follows from 8an Domingo, Cuba, under date of Jane 21: "I have been receiving the dear Picayune each time my mail haa been forwarded from Havana, aad we New Orleans nurses appreciate the paper very much. After we have finished with the papera we paaa them on to our American neighbors, who are always gted of the opportunity of readlag them. "I have Just been admiring your title page in the Issue of Jane 7, and am rejoiced over the news that we are to have sewerage at test. I know that the Picayune helped greatly tow aro a this, as it alwaya In favor of progress. "As you doubtless remember, my Ust letter was from Santa Clara, where we remained a month, working la the orphan asylum and assisting the people to draw rations.

"In this work among the sick and destitute the National Bed Cross Society Is associated with the military authorities. The United States government furnishes ratlona. and In some caaea medicines aad cots. The Bed Cross Society supplies the sick with delicacies and also furnishes clothing and bedding. We also investigate cases of destitution and assist them ta every wsy we can.

"When we arrived at Santa Clara we found many starving people. Although there was plenty of food for them, they were so ignorant that they did not know kow to ask for U. "We made it our bualneaa to show the poor how to get food, and when we left Santa Clara no one waa hungry and many men had gone to the country to work. "Santa Clara haa many orphan children. A Cuban had gathered together a number of these, and.

with the assistance of a few frleada, bad supported the place for two yeara, but was unable to give them more than shelter and little food. They now receive ratlona, aad we clothed the children and supplied them with sheets, towels, etc "We went to this asylnm every day and taught them hygiene. The ordinary Cubaa has little Idea of personal cleanliness or good housekeeping. "Some of the little ones scarcely resemble human beings, they are ao emaciated, aad the tiny children look old and aad. bat in spite of all this they are a cheerful race, and as a rule their first request Is for as to teach them English.

They realise that English is the commercial language of the future and that good Interpreters readily command living salaries. "While In Santa Clara we visited th cemetery. While there a poor man rode up. He dismounted from his bony pony and carried a little white box Into the in-closure. A rough Cuban and a Chinaman were digging little, shallow graves and throwing np the bonea vf little children who had been buried there before.

The poor father selected one of the a hallow. Irregular boles, and then they haggled with him over tihe price of burial. After the terms had been arranged they took the little form out of the coffin and laid It tn the earth, turned ks little white skirt over its face and put In a little bunch of red flowers. The father then took up a handful of earth, kissed It, and threw it In Che grave, aad tbe Chinaman hastily shoveled the earth In the hole. All around the files buzzed over shallow graves and buzzards watched for their chance.

"Comns are not burled here; they are merely rented for the occasion, and when the little child waa hidden by earth, the father took the little box and rode back to town. It was a sad sight. Women do not attend funerala here, and I think It wen that they do not see their loved ones pat away like anlmala. "We came to Santa Domingo a week ago. This Is a small town.

Besides oar-selves, there are only three Americans foere sergeant of the elgnal corps so all of our outside talking must be done in Spanish. "We have started an asylum here In an old building, formerly used aa a barrack for Spanish soldiers. We find ail the buildings very dirty and we have hard work cleaning up. "A part of this building Is reserved for a hospital, and some of the cases are pitiful. There are many case of sarna itch, some are covered with sores.

As rule, the children have the itch on their legs. "They suffer severe pain and at time have convulsions. "Some methods of treating the sick look strange to us. I aaw a poor old woman who could scarcely breath at times. During one of her attacks, another old woman took a mouthful of some liaald and squirted It all over the patient' head and chest.

I do not know what the remedy waa, bat I know that It burnt the olid womti'i mouth. A lot of nigs were running around tbe building and, sad to relate, they also had the Itch. "There a fine hospital for lepers at Santa Clara and one for Hch at 8a sua La Grande, but at times no one has Interest enough to send the sufferers where they belong. The Cubans need clothing, cots, sheets, pIBows and blankets. Mattresses are not used In this country.

"A little later they win need a good-school system, but at present they need rest. "The average Cuban I satisfied with a diet of rice, sweet potatoes, coffee, con-dcsMd milk, hard bread and a preserve or paste aade of either guava or oranges. They taxe xinaiy to caiwra meat, not do not care for soups or cooked cereals. "They like tne Americana, due aurrusi fhem some.
