A CHINESE GARDEN.
That gardens hava from time immemorial delighted the human race no one will venture to deny. When our first parents were placed in this sinful world, it was a Garden of Eden which received them. Adam and Eve probably found that particular garden a very pleasant place in which to carry on their courtship; and their countless millions of descendants have shown the same fondness for open-air pleasures, even in ages when it was no longer the fashion to $ 208 23
398.63 sleep on the turf, drink of the brook, and dis- penie with the services of tailor and modiste. 1,150.00 In all ages, in short, Maud has been invited to 'come into the garden." Therefore it is not to 5,808.00
be wondered at that the denizens of the Model Settlement should unite to produce a garden into which they could not only introduce their Mands, but a town band also; and the natives of this great empire being human, although Chinese, it is also natural that they should require a garden to suit their Oriental tastes. A good deal has lately been done towards supplying this want. Not only have a few strips of lawn and gravel walks made their appearance on one bank of the Soochow Creek, but spacious grounds, known as the Great Chinese Garden, have been laid out some four miles lower down the river bank, by Chinese, mainly for Chinese. Here there are not only walks, pavilions, queer little bridges and characteristically. Chinese ponds, but even a menagerie, albeit small. Now, bowever, all these glories have been surpassed by "The Garden" which the adventurous traveller will find by following the course of the Bubbling Well Road nearly to the Well Itself "The Garden" is a remarkable testimony to the spirit of the times in Shanghai. Chinese, not content with other commercial speculations on foreign lines, have become

John, however, is thrifty, and makes a good many brewings from the tiny heel-shaped box of tea served out to him. If he requires more solid food he can have it. He can sit down with his friends in one of the numerous pavilions-in fact there is, to European ideas, more of the restaurant than the garden Victoria Peak about the place and begin a repast with nib. bling a bean until the kettle of hot samshu anives, followed by the dishes.

Then there is the refreshing towel dipped in hot water, one of which comes round every few minutes to each feaster wherewith to gently wipe his face and hands-not by any means a bad plan on a bot day. He may wind up with a whiff of straw coloured Chinese tobacco from a shining metal water-pipe which he next will pass on to his neighbour; and if he be of a sportive turn of mind, he may indulge in a little aiui, or cups of samshu. As yet there are no other amuse- ments for him, the permission of the local magistrate to hold native "sing-songs" not having been obtained. At midnight the place is closed.
