DWARFED EN ElsG REENS

\ new horticultural fad which very
few but the wealthy can indulge in is
being introduced into this city from
Japan, and is meeting with great favor
hy the owners Of private conservato-
rics This is the accumulation OF dwarf
evergreen trees, ranging in age and
size from Il plant 100 years Old and y
feet high to plant ) years old and :
inches IN height. These miniature
trees are perfect in shape and detail
with knottcd trunks and twisted limbs,
and to the lover OF art are striking sly

The dwarliny Of these trees could he

if the horticu,turiSts were possessed OF
the proper amount Of patience. When
a Japanese gardener starts out to
dwarf Il few trees he plants several
hundred seeds. and rs soon rs the green
sprout appears above the ground the
patient gardener starts to cut away a
couple Of root tcndriiS by probing he
meath the ground. This is done with
every plant. Many of them die, but
those that survive are still denuded OF
their teudrils rs fast rs they can stand
it. Ofttimcs the work of dwarling a
crop property lasts 20 years, and the
task is handed down from father to son.
Perhaps out of the whole crop not over
a dozen will survive the heroic treat

Why is it the teneres feet must treai tn, toughest

Whv is il the weakest back must carry the h eaviest
load,
While the feet that are and tismest have the
smoothest paths to go,
And the back that is stralghtest ah strongest has
never burden to know
WHY is it the brightest eyes are the I'm

Why is it the CHEST at must ache AMI ache for
years,
While the eyes that are harlet and coolest shed
never bitter tear,
And the heart that is small st and meancst has
never an ache to fear:
the gtyest laugh"
Why is it those who need not have lways the big
gest half
While those who have ne er a sorrow have seldom
smile to give,
And those who want iu-t little must strive and
struggle to live
Why S it the noblcst tn ougtS the ones that are

Why it the grandest dee Is the o. es that are

While the thoughts that lie ike all DINERS are tue
ones we always tell,
And the deeds worth little raise the ones tha

Why is it the sweetest smile has for its sister-a
sigh"
Why Is it tho strongest love is the love we always

While the smile that is cold and indifferent is the
smile fol which pray,
And the love we kneel to and worship is only COM

Why is it the friends we trust the ones who al

Why is it the lips wish TO kiss are the Fps so far

While close by our side, if we knew it, is friend

And the lips we might have kissed are the lips we
never see:
Why is it the things can have are the things

Why is it none Of live the lives, if We could we'd

The things that we all can have are the things we
always hate,
And life seems CONF lete, no matter how long

vulgar, is eNtrcmely Y unhealthy; it dis
tOrts the mouth, causes, as soon as the
activity OF the glands is established, an
excessive flow OF saliva, and creates in
digestion. | believe very earnestly
that. as soon as possible, Il child should
be taught to drink from cup, and so
obviate all necessity for the relation of
mouth and nipple. There is good
deal Of sentiment talked about the
comfort child takes with its bottle,
but if comfort suggests disease, then
speedy divorce is desirable.
Mothers milk and COW milk are,
according to their chemical cOnstitu-
tion, very much alike, but it happens
in cities that cows are often so fed as
to make the milk undesirable rs an ar
ticlc of food and unless one can Sc
cure the very best quality Of milk, it
seems to me wiser to have recourse to
the artificially prepared foods, several
some my experience has been extreme
ly satisfactory. Each child must be
carefully studied, and food chosen to
suit the individual.
Every child needs little bit of salt,
and almost every food it is well to put
some, not only for the taste, but for its
value in digesting the food. 1t is a
notable TACT that all animals welcome
salt occasionally, and, like human be-
ings, pine when there is lack of it.
In Holland some generations ago, it is
said to have been the custom to pun
ish criminals by allowing no food but
bread without salt. The consequence
was the blood became depraved, they
became infested with worms and died
miscrably. Blood contains large per-
centage OF salt, and no one can be
healthy without it. An experienced
physician has stated that if 4 strong
solution of salt and water be injected
into the veins of a person dying with
cholera, the patient will be reused
from his stupor, and occasionally it
has led to recovery. How worse than
foolish, then those persons who, a few
years ago, added 20 the craze for wa
ter as cure-all condemnation of
| salt as 4 condiment.

Visiting American Antiqui les.

The first wish of an American in
going to Europe is to see ruins, and
to borrow an often quoted phrase OF
Mr.. Rufus Choate-tO "dilate with
the right emotion when he sees them.
A good deal might BE- said or sung
about the peculiar emotion of seeing
the result of work which has proved
itself so useless as most ruins.
And as people talk with each other
in the enforced leisure of sea voyages
backward and forward, the general
reason assigned for not travelling in
America more is that we have here no
ruins
is, therefore, perhaps worth
while, rs the reader Of these lines is
packing his gripsack for his summer
excursions, to suggest to him that
there are few antiquities in Amctlca,
connected with history, which he may
like to notice. | do this with the
more pleasure because the railway
companies are very reticcnt, and sell
dom allude to such curiositios in their
programmes. | do not know why:

AN INTERESTING STUDY.

The behavior of people in crowds
would make an interesting study of
itself In an ordinary crowd the ma
jorty are apt to be unacquainted with
any formal etiquette, and the rest seem
to forget all they ever knew only
those who are possessed Of natural po-
liteness and unfailing good nature are
saved from becoming savages under
such circumstances. OF course it is
unpleasant for people of refined nature
to be brought into very close contact
with the ruder populace, and is very
frequently happens that the very ones
who have had the most training in
courtesy are most disagreeable when
in the midst of crowd. The nerves
of the common people are less easily
disturbed, and the physical discom-
forts common to crowds are not great
er than they are accustomed to in Or
dinary daily life. Unless you can be
sure of bearing yourself with courtesy
and good humor, you should avoid the
crowds for your own sake as well as
out of consideration for others.
If, from choice or necessity, you
flock with birds that are not all of
your own fine feather, your aim should
be to respect the rights of others with
out relinquishing your own. You are
not door mat, to allow yourself to be
trampled upon with remonstrance;
nor vet cur, to snarl and snap at
those who, perhaps, through no fault
of their own, encroach upon you too
closely. Even in the highest circles
people are apt to lose their heads to
say nothing of their hearts, when
massed in large numbers, as witness
the trays that are reported to take
place among the fair ''gentlewomen"
who attend the queens drawing ROOM"
