For SOME lime previous 10 the day
upon which the great earthquake Of
August, 1887, occurred, great swarms
Of crabs Of unknown variety were seen
In the Bay Of Paytn. Chilli They all
appeared 10 De greatly excited and were
literally climbing over each other ln
their efforts 20 escape the impending
calamity. How they knew that thr
earthquake was collecting lts strength
TO desoIatc the coast o. more than fman
can say; but that they knew something
unusuai was about 20 happen there O. no
doubt whatever. That there were mill
Hons Of them, may be Inferred from The
report OF Dr. Forbes, who says ihai
"ten days after the earthquake ihe
dead crabs were thrown upon the beach
In wall.like line three 20 four feet
wide along the whole extent OF the
bay"

The Chimes Art Of Dwardng Trees.
The art OF dwarflng trees, ~ com.
monty praetieed in both China aud ia.
pan, Is, In realty, simple and very easily
understood, being, as II Is, based on one
of the eommonesi principles oivegetable
physiology. Anything which has a
tcndancy 10 check or rctard the flow OF
sap IN the trees naturally prevents the
formation Of new wood. This process
Of re,ardlng wood growth Is done IN
many different ways. BY pruning 30 as
to prevent leaves from forming and
giving the tree health and ylgor; by con
iinlng the roots In a small space; by
withholding water; by bending and
twisting the branches, and by a half
hundred other processes which all pro.
coed from the same principle. In dwarf.
ing trees the Chinese and Japanese
gardeners are careful to always choose
specimens which are naturally stunted,
particularly n they happen to have
branches opposite or regular, for II
must be understood that one-sided
tree has no value In the eve OF the ar.
tistlc Oriental tree dwarier. When a
tree has been chosen IT, main stem and
roots are twisted In zlgzag form (which
process is intended to cheek the flow Of
sap.) The pots In which they are
planted are narrow and shallow, 50 tina,
they hold but small quantity Of soil
compared with the wants Of the plant,
and no more water Is giving than Is nee.
cesray to sustain life.
Natrre generally struggles against
this kind of treatment for a while or un.
III her powers seem to be In great
measure exhausted. When she finally
yields to the power Of art and ere long
the beautiful and curious dwarf tree, the
wonder OF the Orient Is produced.

considerable comment, for, II the asser.

SALOON HELD UP.

Last Sunday night two men en-
tered Fred Eppinger's saloon at
Wallace, Idaho, and attempted to
rob the saloon and everybody in it,
cav the Moscow Mirror. About
Midnight two masked men entered
the saloon with drawn revolvers
and ordered that all hands throw
m their hands" The request was
c6rmplied with by all except Hugh
Barnett, who grappled with one of
the robbers. Instead of shooting,
the robber used his gun as a club
and struck Barnett over the head.
In the scuffle the mark of the man
fell off and the robbers Immediately
started for the door and made their
escape into the darkness. Clark
Stratton was identified as one of
the robbers, and the officers took
him in. At last accounts they were
close on the trail Of the remaining
robber, and he has probably been
captured.
Stratton was one of the early set
tiers of Moscow and at one time
conducted a milk business, but fell
into bad company and finally de-
serted his wife and three small
children.
