specimens which no amount of subse-
Quent care can bring into good shape.
Ii you prefer shrubby plant, with
branches from the bottom, you must
begin the pinching-in process while
the plant is small. Nip off the top
when the main stalk is not more than
six inches high. Branches will start
at every leaf. Let them grow the
same as You would if you were making
head for tree-sbaped plant, and
then pinch them back to secure more
branches. L consider a shrubby plant
preferable to one trained as a tree, but
tastes differ, and many would prefer
the tree. If the treatment outlined is

For those who have plenty of leisure
to spend among their plants, it is a
fascinating pleasure to experiment
with them; hybridizing and combin-
ing to obtain new forms and colors. A
blue chrysanthemum has been long de-
sired by florists who have succeeded in
obtaining deep purple which is al
most blue. An exchange gives the
experience of an amateur In procuring
roses of odd cOlors:
An amateur horticulturist has dis
covered the means of causing roses to
grow of any desired color; in fact, he
has in his garden roses both green,
blue and violet. Not being a specu-
lator, but an amateur, he has spread
abroad his modus operandi as widely

white roses only must be o. Grated

suffices to water the trees throughout
the winter with a solution of Prussian
blue, and if they are required to be
green, sulphate of copper must be
used.

Lakes That Have Been Drained,

Whittlesea Mere, considerable lake in
Cambridgeshire, England, has been drained
within the memory of living men, and its
bed is covered with excellent farms, but
Whittlesea West is still semi-lacustrine.
Biologists in England have given the name
of Lake Cheviot to prehistoric lake basin
in Northumberland That region, long be-
fore the advent of man, was the site of sew
eral rather large lakes. But its existing
lakes are small and not very many. Not
far from the Cimarron river there are Ger
tain salt plains which are said to mark the
site of former lake. The celebrated Lake
Regillus, where the gods fought for the
Romans against the Latins, no longer eX-
lists 1t is conjectured that it was artificial
ly drained.
A marshy lake once stood near CANA
rina, in Sicily The people of the town
consulted the oracle as to the propriety of
draining the lake, and got for a reply,
"Do not disturb Camarina" The mean
ing of this Delphic deliverance being doubt
full, they vent to work and drained the
lake. Not long after the towns enemies
captured the city, and so Don't disturb
Camarina" became a proverb, as much as
to say, Let well enough alone" Three
years ago a lake in the Moosejaw district,
near Ottawa, Canada, which was more
than mile in circumference, disappeared
entirely from some cause. A farmer pur-
chased the lake bottom and raised mag
nificent crop of wheat upon it.-American

Trained.

In Joints in Our Social Arnor," re-
Gently published, there is a Characteristic
and amusing anecdote of the cunning, cat
like Charles Greville. He was very old,
and had gone to see a spiritualistic 'me-
dunn" who was attracting fashionable
London.
The charlatan looked at the gray, worn
old man, and thought himself safe. Four
other visitors attended the seance, but the
medium" bestowed all his tattention Oh
Greville With much emotion, he cried,
''There is an aged lady behind your chairp'
Greville remarked sweetly, "How inter
estingr'
''She is very, very like you"
"Who can it be?" murmured Greville.
'She lifts her hands TO bless you. Her
hands are now resting on your headP'
shouted the medium, and the pallid, emo
tionless man said, with slight tremor in
his voice, pray tell me who this mysteri-
GUS visitant may be!'
1T is your mother"
All" said Greville, II am delighted to
hear thatp'
''She says she is perfectly happy, and she
watches you constantly"
Dear soul" muttered the imperturbable
one
"She tells me you will join her soon, and
be happy with her"
Then Greville said gravely, in dulcet
tones, THAT is extremely likely, for 1 am
going to take tea with her at o'clockr'
He had led on the poor swindler in his
usual fashion, and never limited at the fact
that his mother was nearly a century old.

An incident winch took place at Ply
mouth, Mass, caAed for the possession OF
good deal of pluck on the part of the two
actors. A young man of about twenty
was leading a bull that had always been
peaceabiy inclined, when the animal seemed
to be seized by sudden fury, and made
lunge at him.
The stick which was fastened to ring
in the animals nose snapped short In the
young mans grasp, and almost before ne
knew what had happened he was thrown
into the air from the bulls horns.
His clothing was torn nearly from his
BODY, his cheek was cut open and he was
much bruised, but when he fell, almost I'M
der the feet Of the bull, he had presence
of mind enough to realize that his only
safety lay in keeping SO close TO the head
of the animal that he could not be thrown
I'D again. He managed TO get three fingers
of his left hand into the ring in the bulls
nose. while with his light hand he grasped
one of the horns.
Meanwhile the farmer who owned the
animal and who is an excellent shot, had
got a rife from the house, and hastily put
into it two cartridges. The young man,
finding his strength falling, called out TO
the other TO shoot.
Fire, for PHYS sake!' he said. Il can't
hold on much longer"
The bull, astonished by the clutch of his
victim, had for a moment stopped, but
when he should again start there would be
small chance of the life of the young man.
The animal stood so that his forehead was
presented to the farmer, but the young
mans head was within few inches of the
spot which the bullet must strike.
eff fire." the farmer called, ''the ball
may fatten on the bone and kill you on
the rebound"
Fire anyway, and quick" the other
cried out, as the bull showed signs OF NOV
ing.
The farmer put his rife to his shoulder
and fired. The shot was so true that the
bull dropped in his tracks without a strug-
gle.-Youth's Companion.

Wind and Sea Waves.

The friction of the wind upon the sea
surface, the commissions of deep seated
earthquakes and the attraction of the
heavenly bodies give rise to three different
kinds of sea waves. 1t may at first seem
strange that so soft an agent as air in mo-
ton should be capable of producing such
sublime fluctuations as are frequently OBJ
served by mariners on the deep sea, and by
the jewellers on sea coasts when the wlLd
is blowing with gale force.
We must remember, however, that the
atmosphere exerts pressure, speaking
roughly, of about 1000 pounds on every
square foot, and that the air is impelled
over the surface of land and sea at the rate
of forty miles an hour when a moderate
gale is blowing, and 100 miles an hour
when hurricane is raging, which no sail
can withstand. Half way between the
Cape of Good Hope and Australia the Liv-
erpool clipper ship James Baines ran 40
miles before the wind in Jwenty-four hours.
At one instant she was running twenty-one
knots an hour with her main skysail set, a
feat that is hardly credible were 1t not
well suhstantiated.
Two years later, in 1856, the Red Jacket
averaged 1874 knots daily during eight sue
cessive days in about the same latitude,
and the American clipper ship Sovereign
of the Seas had a westerly gale when
rounding Cape Horn which drove her 4, sos
nautical miles in sixteen days, on one OF
which she made All miles. These unpar-
alleled runs of sailing ships afford some
faint idea of the velocity with which the
wind travels in high latitudes.-Chambers

About Poor Teeth.

Assessed teeth, especially in the back of
the mouth, and more especially in the low
er jaw, should not be left in the mouth
after reasonable amount of skiliful treat
ment has failed to control the discharge of
pus. Chronic assesses discharging pus,
which is swallowed with the saliva, are too
frequently allowed TO pass unnoticed, and
serious arrangements may arise from this
constant assimilation of septic poison. II
the abscesS cannot be cured extract the

AS TO when to extract teeth / have only
TO say that once it is decided to have the
tooth removed, the sooner it is done the
better. If it is designed TO take gas the
dentist should not be visited Immediately

stomach is likely TO result in nausea and
vomiting, which is unpleasant for both

Young Wood Workers.

Let rs visit the large, airy room contain
ing forty-eight benches Though only half
that number of scholars is allowed to work
at time, wheFe boys of the first year
spend two periods of each day learning 10
work in wood. Each bench has a neat set
of tools snugly put away in a little closed
cupboard which stands on the bench Each
boy has his own and keeps it in good order.
Suspended above the bench Is blue print
picture of the piece of work to be given
for the days lesson. From a large lumber
room on another floor boards of suitable
size have been brought. and as the BOYS
come in, with faces full of interest in the
work before them. they lay aside any su-
pertluous articles of dress in neat lockers
in the adjoining room.
Eacn has been taught the use of hammer
and plane, saw, chisel and square, one at a
time; and now, with a few instructions
from the teacher in charge, the scholar
knows Just how TO so TO work. Perhaps il
is a joint or a sash that is given him. He
works carefully, frequently consulting his
blue print model. The result of his work
is not matter of Indifference by anv
means. Thirty patterns of different pieces
must be made and accepted by the in
structor before the boy can pass from this
room to the next, and as much depends on
his faithfulness in this part of his duty Us
in the geometry or chemistry class.
All who have successfully completed this
work will go on 10 the wood turning room.
where there are forty-eight benches and
wood turning lathes, besides circular and
scroll saws, buzz planer and various
other machines necessary TO full under
standing of the art of wood turning. Such
neat little rings, cylinders and cups as are
turned out here, and after regular hours
you often may see the boys at work by
themselves, busily making some pretty
cabinet, book rack or even a set Of dolls
furniture for the little sister, thus pleas
antly applying the principles learned in
class.-St Nicholas

A Story Traced Through Centuries

Mr.. w. A. Clouston, in The Asiatic Quar-.
tss'ly Review, traces a familiar tale from
the ancient Hindoo collection, ocean of
the Rivers of Narrative" through various
versions in many centuries and languages.
The Hindoo tale is, in brief, as follows:
A rich man said to his treasurer, in the
hearing of musician who had entertained
him, Give this man two thousand panas. "
The treasurer said, 81 will do So" and
went out. The minstrel asked him for
those panas, but was refused, and on APP
pealing to the rich man he received this
reply: What did you give me that
should make a return? You gave short
lived pleasure to my ears by playing on the
Tyre, and ! gave a short-lived pleasure to
your ears by promising you money"
In Gladwin's Persian Moonshee" a
poor poet recites verses in praise of a rich
man, who promises him a quantity of
grain, but later says to him, You are a
blockhead! You delighted me with words,
and pleased you in like manner. Why,
then, should 1 give you grain?'
Lucian tells of philosopher who COM
planned to his pupil because his fees were
eleven days in arrears, and was thus an
5wered by the youths uncle: "Pray let us
hear no more complaints of the injustice
you suppose you have had at our hands,
since it simply amounts to this: We have
bought words of you, and till now have
paid you in the same coin"
In "Jacke of Dover, His Quest of In
quirie for the Foole of all Fooles," an En-
glish jest book of the Sixteenth century,
there is a tale almost precisely like the
Hindoo narrative.
A Japanese story says that Kisaburo, a
person of economical spirit, took lodging
on the side of a market for cells. The appe-
tizing odor of fried cells entered his dining
room and seasoned his bowl of rice The
man with the cells presented his bill for the
odQr of the fish. Kisaburo laid the money
asked for on the bill and began TO chat
with him. When the man was about to
leave Kisaburo put the money back into
his pocket, replying to the mans remon-
STRANGE, You ask me for payment for the
smell of your fried fish. do the same for
the sight of my money" This story was
known in Europe in the Fourteenth cent
ury

Teeth and Hair No. indispensable.

With US there is, to say the least, a
strong and decided prejudice in favor of
luxurlant tresses and peariy teeth. But it
is only prejudice, and BY no means uni
versal. We see no lack of beauty in the
infants naked. rosy sca}p- o. N IT'S sweet
little toothiess mouth We even see
kind OF majestic beauty IN the ivory dome
that covers the sage's busy brain A white,
shining billiard ball il by no means un-
pleasing to the eye, and no one can fancy
its beauty improved by covering half OF it
with coat of hair, however softand silky,
lustrous, brown or golden Birds had
teeth once; how should we welcome a
prospect of the return, a retrogression, TO
their former semi-reptifian condition.
Would you think your canary or your
brilliant hued oockasoo improved IN It's ap-
pearance if the smooth, even edges of its
bill were garnished with saws OF pearly
teeth like little feathered and winged al
ligatOri The possession OF full compile
ment of teeth has always been regarded as
an indispensable condition Of perfect
health. To our prehistoric ancestors, who
had no other grain mills than their molars,
it must have been so, and the modern sol
der in active service would find the hard
tack and leathery salt beef rather unsatis-
factory fare without the dental integrity
which the examining surgeon so properly
insists upon.
But the constantly improving science of
cookery supplies the remedy for the civil
ian, and as to the soldier, he is, like his
teeth, relic of undeveloped civilization.
The dogs of war; must go, teeth and al.
Experience has demonstrated that the lux
urious diet of civilization, which gives so lit
tie for the teeth to do, is on the whole more
conducive to vitality and longevity than
the hard fare of savagery. Long before
toothless gums shall have become the rule
all occasion for teeth will have passed,
either for beauty or use.-Edward P. Jack
