The fiberS of the branch thus covered soon
shoot into the mold The branch is then
carefully cut from the tree, and after the

thus that which was branch the parent

fruit. The buds at the extremities of the
branches which are intended to be dwarfed

out. After a certain time sugar water is ap-
piled to the trunk of the dwarfed tree and by
this means insects are attracted which wound
the bark and give it the knotted appearance
peculiar to old trees When it is intended To-
give any peculiar form to a tree the branches
are bent into the shape and retained i'll it by
means OF pieces of bamboo.

Orthodox audacity is, says the Shef
feld Telegraph, displayed by the Vatican in its
assumption that India is Papal province to be
governed from Rome, for the Holy Father is
kind enough to share responsibility with Por
tugal. Thus the Pope is to appoint the Arch
bishop of Goa Patriarch of the Indies, while his
Catholic Majesty of Portugal is to appoint Bish-
ops of Bombay, Madras, and Quilon. The
solemn vastness of this improperly takes the
sting out of its insolence.
1t has been declared by those best
acquainted with the facts that the three or more
years of chronic warfare into which the Mala,
gasy have been plunged with France, but are
now happily freed from, have done no percepti
Die injury to their religious agencies. 1t threw
the people more entirely on their own resources,
and, as in bygone times, their faith has shone
bright in time of trouble. THERE'S now, unfor.
tunstely, some reason to fear that France re-
sents the effort Of Madagascar to pay the fine
imposed upon her, and thus to free herself from
French political dependence.
