GROWING MINIATURE TREES.

1t is vastly interesting to experiment
with az acorn and study its possibilities
as an attractive window garden Il One
Of the most popular methods of starting it
into growth is to suspend it by a piece of
thread within half an inch of the surface
of some water contained in hyacnth
glass. 1t should be permitted to remain
suspended in this manner without being
disturbed and after time it will burst
and throw root into the water and shoot
upward its straight and tapering stem,
with beautiful little green leaves. 4 young
oak tree growing in this manner in the
window is very interesting object
Several oak trees and also a chestnut tree
have been noticed growing thus, but they
are liable to die after few months, prob
ably owing to the fact that the water is
not changed often enough to afford them
the necessary quantity of nourishment
from the matter contained in it, but the
interest displayed in the short lived little
trees is well worth the trouble of expert
mentng. Philadelphia Record.

TREATMENT OF A SON.
Sympathy as Necessary for Him as for
Daughter.

Many life h; $ been ruined by the I'M
righteous domination of parents. Train
your son for the exercise of his own julg-
ment and the assertion of his own well
developed will. Give him your sympathy
and treat his opinions with respect. Are
they not the 0utDrowth of your education?
1t is probably seldom that parent is
entirely satisfied in the secret of his heart.
with the choice his son or daughter makes.
He would have perfection. and values his
childs deserts too highly. Remembering
this you should be most careful not to
wound Il sensitive spirit by lack Of the
cordial and aifectionale welcome, for which
she has Il light to look, who has given her
heart and life into the keeping of the son,
well prepared or i'll prepared by you for the
sacred task.
But suppose all your preventive meas
ures have failed, and the choice has been
made which seems mistaken and disastrous
will you shut your heart to your son and
turn his heart from you in the time of his
peril? A thousand times no. Your love
must not fail him then, but with desperate
eaperness strive to win the confidence of his
wife and save him and his home. know
IA home, which, though it promised little
good, is growing better and better because
the parents of hayward son have been
gentle, and patient, and loving toward him
and his wife, although she was far from
their ideal ale made his bed, let him
lie il it," is an un Christian proverb If
his bed is i'll made, help him to rise and
make it better. Love-patient, pure, self
denying, pervading, Unfolding loNe-may
redeem child even from his own mis-
takes.
4 true son comes closer to IA parents
heart when he is Il true lover and true
husband. The love which, when it has
other outlets fails in lilial devotion is very
shallow. The heart by loving gains power
to love, and mans devotion to his father
and mother will increase in proportion to
his devotion to his wife 1t is poor
proverb, at least in its first statement
which says
~ son is II son till he get him wife,
daughters daughter TO the end ofherl life
Many wife will testify that she has
found her husbands love for her deepen
ing year by year a. his heart turned with
increasing tenderness and solicitous affect
ion to his parents, and many mother has
realized that she and her son have been
growing nearer and drarer to each other
since he became husband. Mrs. Lyman

MONTE CARLO'SPATRONS.
The Ladies Are the Most Profitable
Customers at the Gaming Tables.

| The English, the Americans and the
| French are probably the most remunerativc
patrons Of Monte Carlo; and it is to Switzer-
! land, and not 70 the frontier of Italy, that
the vast majority of plcasurc-seekers repair
in summer. Again, at the very period
when the Casino p, pie wish to allure Eng
fish visitors to the Riviera, the Parliament
tary session has as yet shown no IN OF
waning The Atlantic steamships are
bringing to Europe every week shoals of
American tourists: but our transatlantic
visitors usually pass the summer in London
or Paris, or at English or French watering
places and await cooler weather before they
journey down South.
Another suggestion made to the perplexed
administration is that club for the use of
ge. tlemen visitors should he established
in connection with the Casino, it being
PROPOSED to utilize for the purpose the
premises of the Hotel Monte Carlo; but it
is difficult to see that the financial pros
perity of the Casino Company would be in
ed by supplementing the existing tri-
pod with club. Visitors who really be-
long to cosmopolitan clubland can easily
become members of the Cercle de la Med
iterranee, ut Nice; and after all, it is not
the serious players, the scientific operators
at rouge ct noir, who despise the merry but
frivolous game of roulette, that are the
most lucrative customers at the Casino. At
trente-et quarante it is really possible to
win very large sums Of money, not indeed,
to break the bank-slnce Napoleon's dctum
Of the big battalions eventually winning,
still holds and always will hold good-but
enough to cause the administration to close
particular table for few hours. At
roulette, however for one winner of any
considerable amount there are possibly
hundred who, sooner or later, will be
utterly and hopelessly decaves, Or Cleaned
out"
Moreover, in modern times it has been
the lady punters who, in the aggregate,
bring the greatest amount OF grist to the
mill of the Casino Company. 1t is not
that the ladies often go to the maximum of
stakes to be realized-they are in general
too timorous for that; but they play reck-
lessly, and they will continue to play until
they have lost their last-franc piece on the
tapis vert, and club from which ladies
were excluded would be bereft OF the sex
who are, as ganesters, not less adventurous
and perhaps little more incorrgible than
men.
