made day or two ago by dozen or more
Japs, who tied $50 different branches to-
gether till they looked for all the world
like one tree.
Some people who don't go in much for
vivid coloring or delicate tints think TINS
composite manle tree the prettleSt thing
in the whole flower show.
But it's not the most wonderful. This
honor belongs exclusively to the half dozen
dwarf cedar trees that surround it.
Imagine an adult cedar tree overk 100
years old with gnarled trunk and tough,
wiry limbs not two feet high-or better,
go aud see it. Miniature monsters of the
small naturally, but are dwarfed into
their Insignificant height by careful,
skillful process OF starvation.
When but tender shoots they are robbed
of sunlight, fresh air, moisture and rich
soil. These necessities are not withheld
from the infant tree entirely. or it would
die. Just enough of them are given TO
keep life in the roots and when the tree is
twenty or thirty years old process OF
ront-pruning is commenced.
With it all most wonderful little trees
are produced. They are about the right size
to set in front OF doll house.
Now that they are mature, even old and
in their decline. all the sunshine and
moisture they can absorb may be given
them with safety. 1t is too late now. They
can never recover their natural proud and
lofty proportions.
Some of these dwarf trees are only fifty
nr sixty years old. but two of them are
fully 100. There are lots of odd and
curious. things like this in the oriental ex-
hibit. and all of them are tasty and beau
tiful besides being unique.
There are really too many good things
in this show TO see 1t in one visit. One
could go proftably to every session and
each time see some new and beautiful
floral specimen that had been overlooked
on the previous visits.
The society itself is inclined to lay great
stress upon its little souvenir circle volume.

large numbers of emigrants are prepar-
ing to leave there for America.
Treasury officers are much encouraged
by the fact that considerable quantities
of gold have begun to appear in the Gus
tom house receipts. Five and half per
cent of the precious metal appeared in
the statement for the ten days ending
July 20, while during the same period
gold certificates to the amount of per
cent of the total receipts were also taken
in.
Congressman who were most interest
ed in defeating the force bill, it is re-
ported, may aid their western collea-
CUES in opposing the unconditional re-
peal of the sherman Silver law. This
state of affairs is represented to have
been brought about by correspondence
between western silver senators and
many southern senators. IL is said that
when the force bill was before the
senate the western silver senators bottled
their party caucus to aid their southern
friends and for this reason the south.

The total number of pensioners under
the act of June %, 1890, who have been
notified since the incoming of the present
administration that the payment of their
pensions has been suspended, is approx
imately $3.50. The whole number of
pensions granted under this act is ascer-
iained to be 100000. OF this number
10000 were to widows, minors and de-
pendent relatives. leaving 100000 to be
Investigated. About % per cent of the
pensions paid to the soldiers themselves
which have been investigated have been
suspended pending the receipt of salts

cases is fraud charged, the suspensions
being based upon an error of the pension
office in constituting the law.
