Oats were dull but strong in sym

is being largely used for feeding in the

The Dominion of Canada has granted
$SS.Ss4.557 and SO. 725, 13o acres of land
to railways.
More than 45,0oo,00O passengers a
year go through the North Union and
South Union stations in Boston.
In most European railways the prin-
cipal difference between second class
and first class lies in the color of the
seat cushions, first class being usually
red, second class gray.
The average cost of the body of a
modern long electric car is $4,000. the
average price of set of double trucks
for such car is 5000, and the average
cost of the motor is $500, poaking the
total cost of the car 81, 100.
Some Of the Austrian railways have
followed the German custom of selling
numbered seats in the cars of fast
trains, both first and second class. An
extra charge Of from about 25 to so
cents is made for these seats, according
to distance.
The other day, just as train was
about to leave Kutas, in Hungary, for
Palfalva, an official appeared and put
seals on the wheels Of the engine. The
passengers had to get off and walk.
The company was 296 crowns in ar
rears in payment of taxes Next day
the taxes were paid, and the train pro-

to the present generation by the say
ing ii common use, According to
Cocker, 3 which means in accordance
with arithmeticaI rules. I saw the 9TH
5er day amid the treasures Of a private
collector copy of the first edition of
Cookers Immortal work On arithmetic
publ lished by Passenger ali the
Three Bibles on London bridge Only
lWo, or at most three, perfect copies
are known to the book collector. One
is III the British museum This par
ticu1ar copy. Its brown morocco piti-
fully faded. bears On Its title page the
inscrip ion, Cock ker,s Arithmetick,
Perused and blished BY John Haw-
kins by the "a Allthor's Correct Copy. q s
81 It contalns what purports ito be q
portrait of genIous Cock ker. Ex-
pertss however, shake their heads over
the anthenticity Of this work Of art.
There are many engraved portraits of
the epoch, but there was only one
Cocker. The British museum copy has
no portrait. and there is too much rea-
son t6 fear that this elnbelli llishment
was added by some Ingenious owner
of an earlier century. Cocker died ID
1876. This rare relic Of the past bears
date 1678 cotsman.

tion. ~ The falling off of registration
in larger cities, unusually indefinite in
tlications sof poll books and general
lack of interest have put the leaders to
guessing. While the republicans are
confident of winning they fear a small
vote may greatly reduce the pluralities
expected on the state ticket and prob

DWARFING AN OAK TREE.
The japanese Trick by Which 1t Il
Accomplished.

The Japanese Trick by Which 1t Is
Accomplished.
The Chabo Hiba, a dwarf Japanese
pine tree, was recently sold for $1,000.
1t is six feet high and alleged to be $50
years old. 1t has long been supposed
that the process by which Japanese
gardeners succeeded in dwarfing forest
trees was long and costly one. 1t is
now said that it is a simple process and
that any one can do the trick. The fol.
lowing directions are given for produc
ing miniature oak tree:
! Take an orange and scoop out the
pulp. Fill the interior with rich mold
and plant an acorn in the center of it,
leaving the hole in the rind for it to
,sprout through. Put it in sunny place
and water it frequently. Soon after
the first shoots have appeared the roots
begin to break through the orange sk in.

Some of these dwarfs, like the Chabe

And while this country must still
seek the material with which to inn
proverthe blood of its breeding animals
in foreign lands, the foreigner has
learned to come here to get horses for
commoner uses. Excerpts are made
from a report by the agricultural de-
partment at Washington which show
that the value of the horses exported
from the United States in 1896 was S3,-
100000, which has gradually increased
until g. sum little more than double
that was reached in 1900. The mum
bers exported has likewise increased
from 25,126 in 1896 to 64,722 in 1900.
The total for the five seasons is nearly
quarter Of a million horses, and the
aggregate price received around $27,-
100000. 1t is further predicted that
when the figures of 1901 shall have
been completed the total account of
money received will reach $35. 900, 900,
and the horses exported to over 100000
head-all in six years. 1t should be
borne in mind that foreigners will take
only the best, and as their purchases
will, for reasons that are obvious, have
a great influence in fixing the standard
of values as well as quality, great care
should be exercised to produce none
but the best. And this can only be
done by the selection of well bred sires
CT good quality. and the exercise of
care and judgment in rearing the
projeny.
