How the Chinese Make Dwarf Trees.

We have all known from childhood
how the Chinese cramp their women's
feet and so manage to make them
keepers-at-home; but how they grow
miniature pines and oaks in flower
pots for half q century has always
been much of secret. They aim
first and last at the seat of vigorous
growth, endeavoring to weaken it as
much as may be consistent with the
preservation of life. Take a young
plant-say a Seeding or cutting of
cedar-when only two or three inches
high, cut off its tap-root as soon as it
has other rootlets to live upon, and re-
plant it in an earthen pot or pan. The
end of the tap-root is generally made
to rest on stone within it. Alluvial
clay is s..then put into the pot, much of
it in bits the size of beans, and Just
enough in kind and quantity to furnish
a scanty nourishment to the plant.
Water enough is given to keep it in
growth, but not enough to excite q
vigorous habit. So, likewise, in the
application of light and heat. AS the
Chinese pride themselves on the shape
of their miniature trees, they use
strings, wires and pegs and various
other mechanical contrivances to pro-
mote symmetry Of habit or to fashion
their pets into odd, fancy figures.

Treeless Regions.

The steppes Of Asia are the grand
est of all in extent and perhaps the
most varied in character; for not only
are the vast areas of that nearly level
and treeless country which lie along
the northern and northwestern side Of
all the great central elevated mass of
that continent usually designated as
steppe, but large part of that central
region itself is described under that
name by recent eminent geographical
authorities, so that we may include in
the various forms of steppe existing in
Russia and Central Asia the grass
covered plains of the lower regions,
and the almost entirely barren valleys
lying between the various mountain
ranges which are piled up over so large
portion of high Asia. Absence of
trees is the essential feature in both
the "steppe" and the "high steppe,"
as these regions have been and may
perhaps with propriety be designated,
but the lower regions are in large part
well covered with grass, and suitable
for occupation by pastoral people, de-
pendent chiefly for the means of susie
nance on their focks and herds.
while the higher valleys are almost
uninhabitable, very sparsely covered
with a scrubby vegetation, and both
too cold and too dry to offer any at
fractions except to the adventurous
geographical explorer, who has still
much to accomplish on the great
plateau of high Asia before its topog-
raphy and natural history will have
been anything like satisfactorily made
out Feven in their most general fea-
lures. The vastness of the area which
may be designated as a steppe on the
Asiatic continent is almost overwhelm-
ing. Nearly half Of the 100000
square miles which Asia covers is es-
sentially treeless region, and perhaps
half of that half belongs to the high
steppe division, in which cold and
dryness are the predominant character
istics. From the fact that the steppes
of Russian Asia have been longer
known and more written about
than any others in the
world, the term steppe has been
most ordinarily applied to similar
areas In oIner countries. This is eS-
pecially the case because such a use of
the word has been sanctioned by Hum
boldt, who was the first to draw popu-
lar attention to this variety of surface
as feature of importance in physical
geography. In North America, where
the treeless regions occupy so large an
area, and where many of the physical
conditions so closely resemble those
prevailing on the Asiatic continent, the
use of the term steppe has never been
introduced among the people. Here, in
fact, the character of the surface and
distribution of vegetation over it, as
well as its Chronological peculiarities,
have all been more satisfactorily and
fully made out than in Asia, in spite of
the fact that the latter country has
been so much longer an object Of sci
entifc study.

The Tryst.

There was not cloud in the deep blue sky,
Nor foaming crest on the sea;
The winds were asleep, in the arms of the deep
And their breath came noiselessly.
The soft sweet rays of the harvest moon,
The heaving waters kissed,
And the light was shed on the Abbey head,
And the tombstones that watch the quiet dead.
And in calm l kept our tryx
The blank black sky, and the blank black sea,
Blent in the angry night;
The wild winds met, where the waters fret,
In belt of luminous light.
They thundered along the hollow strand,
Where the rain like python hissed
ana near and far, from rock and scar,
Rang the mighty challenge of Natures war,
And in storm kept our tryst.
White, weird and ghastly crept the fog,
Over river, and moor, and coast;
Each fast-moored boat, on the harbor afloat
Loomed like threatening ghost.
The sea lay muttering sullenly,
Under the yelling mist;
And the buoy-bell ring, with its ominous
tongue,
Where the tide on the lip of the rock was flung,
And in gloom I kept our tryst.
For while holy grief and loving trust,
With me kept watch together,
1 lreckon not, l, of sea or sky;
Our hearts hold tranquil weather.
30 know, in the royal right of love,
may claim you, and I list
30 my hand may reach, in its silent speech,
To the spirit greeting where each meets each.
In faith kept our tryst.
All the Year Round.

Progeny in Whose Veins Flows the Blood
of the Five Races.

"Now, if 1 told you the cold fact
that 1 saw human beings in whose
veins flow the blood of all the five races
into which mankind is divided, you
wouldn't believe it, would you? And
you would say never carried little
hatchet, using mild language, wouldn't
your" said well-known histrionic
gentleman, just returned from the
Sandwich Islands, to reporter.
"No, 1 would not believe it." was
the frank reply.
"Well, here's the case, and it is a
genuine one: The present Mrs. Brown,
of Honolulu, was born in the Hawaiian
kingdom. Her father was part negro
and part American Indian, and her
mother native Hawaiian woman. In,
Mrs. Browns veins, therefore, flowed
the blood of three races-the negro, the
Indian and the Malay. So far so good.
ehp Mrs. Browns first husband was
Chinaman; and daughter by that
marriage, now the wife of the Rev.
DR.. Lyman, clergyman at Hilo, united
in her veins the blood of four races.
the yellow or Mongolian being added
to her mothers mixed life blood. Now
Mrs. Lyman is the mother of children
by Caucasian father, and doesn't that
make these innocent little ones carry a
very mixed kind of blood, uniting, SO
to speak, all the colors-white, black,
red, yellow and brown ?"-San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

and her sister. are spending week at her

and her sister are spending a week at he
villa near Paris, and De Pallssier, VIII,
is to accompany them on riding
party, has arrived little late, and find
both sisters already in the courtyard
with some horses and grooms, when h
enters. Lucille comes to him at one
as he dismounts, with look of alarm
instead of her usual coquetry.
F'"Do not let Jeanne ride Etoile," sh,
says, anxiously. "She has thrown
Guillaume this morning." So.
Madame De Miramon is STANDING
beside an old groom, who is holding
the horse in question, and she does moi
look at her sister or De Palissier a:
they approach. .ys- -. -s.,--es.=-.
"Let me ride Etoile and take my
horse to-day, madame" De PalissieI
says, eagerly. "I should like tc
master horse who has thrown so ex.
cellent groom as Guillaume."
$50 should l." she says. with a hard
little laugh, and she steps on the block.
"Jeannef cries Lucille.
"I entreat you for your sisters sake.
She will be terribly alarmed" De Pal
issier says, hurriedly.
"Then you must console her. The
greater her alarm, the greater your de-
lightful task, monsieur" and she looks
at him with defiant pain in her eyes
like a stags at bay. "I shall ride
Etoile."
"Then I say that you shall not" he
answers, putting his arm across the
saddle, and meeting her eyes with a
sudden blaze of command in his.
For an instant they gaze at each
other in utter forgetfulness of any
other presence than their own, then
she springs from the block and comes
close to him.
~ hate your she gasps, and turn
ing, gathers up her habit in one hand
and runs into the house, swiftly fol-
lowed by De Palissier. In the salon
she faces him, with a gesture of pas
sionate pride.
"Leave mep' she says. "I forbid
you to speak to me-"
He is very pale, but the light of tri-
umph is in his eyes, and like most men,
being triumphant, he is cruel.
"Why do you hate me?" he asks,
imperiously.
81 beg your pardon" she stammers,
dropping the eyes which she knows are
betraying her. az should have said"
"You should have said, L love you,'"
he murmurs, coming close to her and
holding out his arms. "Does it hurt
you that should know it at last, L who
have loved you all these years?"
but Lucille" she falters, moving
away from him, but with eyes that
shine and lips that quiver with bewil-
dered joy.
Never mind Lucille" cries that
young lady, very cheerfully, from the
doorway. 1T has been all a plot for
your happiness, my Jeanne, which
would never have succeeded if you had
known your sister as well as she knew
you. To think that 1 would be con-
tent with the wreck of any mans heart
If done! When my day comes,

And will reign alone.'"
