How THE CHINESE MAKE DwAR,

How THE CHINESE MAKE DWARF
TREEs.-We have all known from child,
hood how the Chinese cramp their wo-
mems feat, and so manage to make them
"keepers at hone;" but how they cou
trive to grow miniature pines and oaks
in flower pots for half q century has
always been a secret. 1t is the product
chiefly of long continued, skllful root
pruning, They begin at the beginning.
Taking young plant (say seeding
or a cutting of a CEDAR when only two
or three inches high, they cut off its tap
root as soon as it has other rootlets
enough to live upon, and rcplant it in a
shallow pot or pan. The end Of the tap
root is generally made to rest upon the
bottom of the pan, or fat stone within
it. Alluvial clay is then put into the
pot, much of it in the size of beans, and
just enough in kind aud quantity to
furnish q scanty nourishment in the
plant.
Water enough is given to keep it in
growth, but not enough is given to ex-
cite vigorous habit. So, likewise, in
the application of light aud heat, As
the Chinese pride themselves also on the
shape Of their miniature trees, they use
strings, wire aud pegs, and various other
mechanical contrivances to promote
symmetry of habit, or to fashion their
pets into odd fancy figures. Then, by
use of very shallow pots, which they
use, growth Of the tap root is out Of the
question; by the use Of poor soil, and
very little Of it, and little water, strong
growth is prevented. Then, TOO, the
top and roofs being within easy reach of
the gardener, are shortened by his pruu-
ing knife, or scared with his hot iron.
So the little tree, finding itself headed on
every side, gives up the idea Of strong
growth, asking only for life, and just
growth enough to live and look well,
Accordingly each new set of leaves be-
comes more and more siunted, the buds
aud rootlets are diminished in proper
ton, and at length balance is cs'ab-
lished between every part of the tree,
making it a dwarf in all respects. In
some kinds of trees this end is reached
in three or four years; in others ten or
fifteen years are necessary. Such is the
fancy horticulture of the Celestials

The Galaxy for 1871 promises even
greater attractions than heretofore.
One distinctive feature of The Galaxy
is, the bright sharp way in which it is
edited. Every subject Of popular inter-
est is at once seiezcd npon aud written
up by the most competent person.
The Galaxy has gathered around it.
self staff of the most popular writers
in every department, and it is clear that
every number is made up with the same
unity of purpose and uce dcerument of
the public taste, which charaterizes our
most successful Gaily and weekly papers.
1t has been the custom for magazines to
furnish the public with the best sel-c
ton they could make from such articles
as were sent to them for publication.
The day for this has PAST, and the editor
of first class magazine has very diff
ferent duty to perform from reading
manuscript, and culling out the best.
He must create. He must map out the
style of magazine he wishes to produce,
aud then seek out the mos, competent
persons to prepare articles upon subjects
on which the public desire to read
This important change in the require
mcnt of magazine literature, The Gal
axy was the first to discern, if it did not
itself create the change.
Among the attractions for the COM
ing year, The Galaxy has engaged
Porte Crayon to furnish series of sketch
es of life and adventure, which will re-
vive the old interest in his pictures of
American scenes.
Mrs. Edwards. the author of "Archie
Lowell" "S'epheo Lawence,' and "Su.
san Fielding" will begin new novel
in the January number, entitled "Ought
We TO Visit Herr"
In the January number new de-
partment will be opened-a department
of science-which will under the charge
of distinguished writer in that field,
remarkable for skill in bringing within
popular apprehension even the most alb
struse investigations Of modern science.

The UNIVERSAL SwINE.-The swine
(almost always) hay four legs, tho there
IL sum remarkable excepshuns to this
rule. Swine are good quiet boarder5;
they alwus eat what is sot before them,
and don't ask emmy phoolish questions.
The swine can be larnt great menny
amusing things, such ashisting the front
gate oph from the hinges, and finding
a hole in the fence to git into the corn
field, but it IL dredful hard work for them
tew find the same hole tew git out at,
espeshily if yu are in a hurry to hav
them. This haz never bin fully ex-
planned, but speaks vollums for the
swine. Swine kan all root well, a swine

We ask this question in all seriousness.
If he has been, does the fact account

has not, will somebody enlighten us as

debt of fifteen millions of dollars owed
to private individuals by Great Britain.

their conversation, and quite generally

Der Of representatives in Congress, say to
275, as so many states are likely to lose
members under the new appointment,
unless there is some increase. It. is as
erted that taking the population ofthe
country at 39,O00,000 and the number
of members of the House at 275, the
only states which would lose represen-

New Hampshire and Maine. Il

The japanese carpenters are ingenious
workmen, and their work is done with
marvellous neatness. A curious feature
of their houses is that they do not con-
tain nail, all their joints aud timbers
being dove-tailed together by many in
genious devices; and the whole work
even to the rafters, is as smooth as if it
had been polished down with sand-paper.
