Dwarfing Pines and Bamboo.

The art of dwarfing plants is so lit
tie known in other lands that a short
description of its process is not out of
place here. The pines may truly be
considered the most important of all
trees in Japan, and great care is taken
in their cultivation and preservation.
They are generally grown for seed,
and great care is taken to select the
choicest quality of seed. In the spring
of the second year, when the seedlings
are about eight inches in height. they
are staked with bamboo canes and tied
with rice straw. the plants being bent
in different shapes. In the next fall
they are transplanted to richer soil
and are well fortified In the follow
ing spring the plants are restaked and
twisted and tied in fanciful forms.
This mode of treatment is given until
the seventh year when the trees will
have assumed fairly large proportions.
the branches being trained in graceful
forms, and the foliage like small
clouds of dense green. The plants are
now taken up and placed in pots one
and a half feet in diameter. and are
kept we'll watered every succeeding
year; great care must be taken to
keep new shoots pinched back After
another three years of this treatment
the trees are virtually dwarfed, there
being no growth thereafter.
The dwarfng of bamboo is another
important branch of the japanese nur-
sery business. A few weeks after the
shoots begin to grow, and when the
trunks measure about three inches in
circumference and five feet in height
the bark is removed piece by piece,
from the joint. After five weeks, when
the plants get somewhat stout, the
stem is bent and tied in. After three
months, when the side shoots grow
strong enough, they are cut off five or
six inches from the main trunk; they
are then dug up and ported in sand.
Care should be taken not to use any
fertilizer, but plenty of water should
be given. Cut off the large shoots every
year in May or June. and after three
years the twigs and leaves will pre-
sent admirable yellow and green tints

Prevent Wear and Tear by Brushing
Carefully and Folding.

Much of the wear and tear which
use up good clothing may be averted
by constant care. Gowns should be
brushed before hanging up in the
closets. 1t is best to have this done
as soon as possible after taking them
off, thoroughly removing the traces of
street dust and mud from facinEs,
seams and gathers. The neat woman
does not bruch her gown in her own
room and brushes it besides an open
window, or, better still, has it carried
out of doors for the operation.
Disease germs may be carried home
in clothing, and, were this not the
case, it is very untidy proceeding
to put into ones wardrobe an article
of dress which has not been thoroughly
cleansed.
When the French woman takes off
her bonnet she does not bundle it at
once into a bandboX, or throw it hast
lily on a shelf, or hang it up on a peg.
Not she.- Every little loop and bow
is pulled out and put into shape,
strings are gently caressed into smooth
ness jets and aigrettes are straight
ened and fastened in position, and
the bonnet receives the touch of the
brush to remove dust, and then it is
laid between folds of tissue paper,
and is ready for its next appearance,
as fresh and new, to all intent, as
when it left the milliner's hand.
Gloves are expensive articles, no
matter how sedulous the care bestowed
upon them. But gloves win last a
third longer than they usually do if
pulled off the hand from the wrist
down. and turned inside out, as is
done when they are tried on in the
shops; if laid by themselves, properly

is good policy to have best and second

and running about. In our chilly win
tiers the last mentioned should be of
dogskin, and sufficiently loose not to
cramp the hand. Light gloves may
be cleaned more than once toeadvan-
tage.
Shoes with yawning gaps where but
tons should be at once convict the
wearer of heedlessness. A gentle
woman may wear coarse shoes or
patched shoes, her boots may be clunl-
sy or ill-1tting if the state of her purse
forbids her having elegance, but she
will not be seen in boots from which
the buttons have become loosened or
lost. A large needle and stout thread
will replace a button, and it requires
only a moments work, and the wearer
will part with no portion of her self
respect if she does this as matter
of habit
Neckties, ribbons, belts and the sew

a touch of distinction to a woman's
costume should be kept in dainty boxes

were discussing the question in one OF
the hotel corridors, when one remark

-'1,he governor and sheriff dare not
interfere with this contest.
s'Why not?" was asked.
Because either would be liable to
imprisonment or fine or perhaps poth.
This was laughed at when the at

ances, he turned to where they state
that any person found guilty of inter

fine of 500, or Imprisonment for thirty
Gays. This was a staggerer TO the
crowd and they could hardly under
stand it. Judge Gibbons, Of the NUM-
cipal court, was asked if the law had
been rightly interpreted?
1T is true said Judge Gibbons. by
interfering with the Corbett-Mitcnell
contest, the governor, sheriff or militia
would be liable to fine and imprison-
ment. The ordinance allowing such a
contest cannot be interfered with even
by the governor"

Fine Concert Given at the Western
Depot Yesterday.
The platform of the Rio Grande Yves

to the other at noon yesterday with
people anxious to hear the concert by
the Iowa State Band.
The train arrived at 1880 and the
musicians, hfty-four strong, took their
positions on the platform west of the
depot and discoursed some of the finest
music ever heard in this city. The Sc
lections were THE Inaugural March, -
by Thiele, La Belle Creole by Her

Sousa, and Maid Marian from Rob
in Hood" 1t is sufficient to state that
this band will compare favorably with
any organization Of the kind in the
country. The Instrumentation is as
follows: oboe, 2 z fiat clarionets, IA

phonium. French horns, tnom-
bones, tubas, snare drums. and l
bass drum. The conductor is Prof. Ed

half hour the members of the band,
followed by the cheers of a delighted
audience and escorted by Mr.. w E.
Weihe, Mr.. Parker and other members

The Giving and wearing of Flowers.

y.
There is an unwritten code in the
giving of flowers which directs that
it is better in the eyes of an up-to-
date girl to receive a single perfect
long-stemmed rose from the smartest
shop in town that a whole room-full
of ordinary posies sent in from an un-
known florist. The present fashion in
the wearing of flowers restricts them
to single large and fragrant Aneri-
can Beauty rose or a bunch of vioIets.
The Chrysanthemum has had it's dav
and is going out OF season now. but
the rage for violets increases, and the
tickle fancy of woman is true to the
little purple flower all the year round.
She tucks them in the belt of her
summer gown or pins them on her
seal-skin coat, and at one of the recent
swell balls a belle had gown all
trimmed with violets, which looked
very pretty until the flowers began to
fade. And following the same idea il
is accounted more desirable to present
lady with two or three long-stemned
selected roses for the tall, straight
vase in her room than with a profus-
ion of common flowers. Sometimes the
vase accompanies the roses, and a
very pretty gift it makes, and one
which conventionality winks at. even
between people not really entitled to
give or receive valuable presents. If
any one flower were selected as the
prime favorite this year the American
Beauty would carry off the palm bv
large majority, because its vivid and
rich coloring accords happily with the
seasons tints, and indeed, matches
one of the most worn shades used in
ecoration--Chicago Times.
