QUEER LITTLE JAPANESE TREES.
Trained in Fantastic shapes by
Gardeners Long since Dead.
From, the Neuy York SIM

From the New y Ork sun.
A large collection Of arboreal plants
trained in the artistic and curious style of
the japanese is on view at the American
Art Galleries in Twenty-third street. They
viii be exhibited to-day and sold to-mor-
row ana Friday. Some of these dwarfcd
plants have been seen here before, but
never in such variety and numbers as at
present. They were all imported from Ja-
pan by Kusikild q Arai of Toxic, and most
Of them have been for two years In the
nurseries at Atlantic City Some of them
are quite remarkable exhibitions of the
japanese skill in horticulture and the fact
that they are all In miniature adds
greatly TO their attractiveness. Some of the
pieces were prepared by the best known
gardeners in Japan.
The dwarfed cedars, or Chabo-Hiba, will
attract most attention not only because
they are most numerous, but also because
they are remarkably fine specimens. These
diminutiVe trees as perfect In every detail
of form and color as a large and fully de-
Yeioped tree vary in age from 115 years 70
nearly twice that time, anil some of them
are the work Of men long dead. one spec

kio who died during the last century An
other dwarf cedar, possbly-the most val
liable in the collection also from the gar
den Of Count Okuma IS now 2l5 years old,
although It is only S1a feet high. 1t was the
particular pride Of Zaru-Cho, Toxic mas
ter of tree training. Many of these cedars
have been for half century In the Same
pot, and others nave been planted thrice
as long. All Of these are i'm porcelain pots

There are numerous interesting speci-
mems from the highly artificial larches
trained into the form of cranes standing
on one foot, turtles and ships, down to the
minute plants growing in the porcelain
pots that may have held them for ten or
fifteen years, although they are not more
than two or three Inches high. These con-

When wear begins to exceed repair in
your body you are gong to fall sick. The
signs of it are: loss of flesh, palenesa,
weakness, nervousness, etc. The repair
needed is food You think you eat
enough, and yet you feel that you wear
out more tissue, ,enegry, nerve-force, than
your food makes for you. The difficulty
is that you do not digest enough. And
this is so serious it is worth sitting down
seriously to think about. II you can't
digest what you eat, take few doses OF
Shaker Digestive Cordial. The effect of
it will be to increase your flesh and make
you feel stronger. You won't fall sick.
Proof that it is in control of your repair
apparatus. It's easy enough to test this
for yourself. Take few bottles OF Shaker
Digestive Cordial. Sold by all druggists
at 10 cents to 81 90 per bottle.
