DWARFING AN OAK TREE

The Japanese Trick by Which It II

The Chabo Hiba, q: dwarf Japanese
pine tree, was recently sold for $1,000.
It is six feet high and alleged to he $50
years old. Tt has long been supposed
that the process by which Japanese

Take an orange and scoop out The
pulp. Fill the interior with rich mold
and plant an acorn Id the center OF It,
leaving Ii hole In the rind for IT to

the first shoots nave appeared the roots
begin to break through the orange skin.
Take q sharp knife and shave these off

NONE HERE

It does beat all what queer people there are in some places For in- stance, in Brooklyn. The Eagle of that city speaks of folks who are one or two cents short in change, and who never pay the shortage, because it is not worth while, who bring goods through the Custom House without declaration because the government won't miss the money which congress has ordered its officers to collect. who walk about a grocery sampling things until the samples amount to half as much as the eventual purchase, who tire tradesmen into knocking off legitimate profits, who blackmail them into contributing to church fairs or giving charity to paupers and tramps under threat of withholding custom, who compel wash erwomen and laborers to trudge weari- ly to them a second time for money due that could well have been paid in the first place. etc., etc.. etc.
 And the Eagle further finds that more of such folks are women than men. Thank goodness New Haven hasn't any such. The small dishonesties of life find no place here any more than the big ones do

THE SKILLET CURE.

| Enoch Mokely was a farmer in name, | politician in his mind and loafer in | fact. His agricultural achievement for
 the last twenty years had consisted of
 eating and sleeping in his farm home,
 two miles from Hillburg, Mrs, Moke- ly iran the farm" His political career
 was briefer but more active. No mat ter how many or how few were the tickets, the candidates or the offices involved, Enoch always ran. Republi- can or democratic orators sneeringly
 referred to him as "Old Ran Mokely,"
 but his pride surged above such con- tumely when the spelbinder of the
 third party spoke of him as that
 baff1ed but undefeated old war horse
 of the plain people,
 Between eating, sleeping and run ming for office Enoch's time was not so taken that he had none for argumen- tive dalliance at the Court House Ex- change. Indeed, he spent most of his waking hours there discussing "the p'litical sltooation' and licking up fred
 icker.
 "Th man what works onder existin social and economic conditions is goll darn idjit or wuss!''
 That was the keynote of Enoch's sys- tenn of philosophy. For ten years he had uttered 1t at about the same hour every evening he was in his favorite saloon until it came to be regarded by host and guests as the infallible sign that old Enoch was drunk. Then he would swagger away down the road T l, r-f, t,@+ +l where "the old woman," Jagged and worn, was fininshing another days hard work
 "Old Also Ran" had no respect for the woman who for score of years had kept him from the poorhouse She didn't know anything about "th' ex- stin' condition of s'ciety," and from dawn till dark she worked Hike a id- jit" She was a patient, hopeful, lov- ing soul, and even the years of Enoch's worthlessness had not effacted the memory of her happy wedding day. He had never beaten her. That was a comfort, she thought, but there were times when the sly torment of his drunken mockery were almost beyond even her endurance. She was a proud woman ana sIe ldleu to De numlllated before "the hands"
 There wasn't a hired man on the place who wouldn't have beaten Enoch into insenslbility If Mother Mokely had said the word But she wouldn't permit violence or even dis respect to him. Indeed, she had dis missed more than one lusty harvester whose rage against Enoch had gotten the better of his loyalty to Mother"

paid much higher returns.

paid much higher returns. Thus an enormous amount of money was placed at the disposal of promoters of new 1 schemes. Vast manufacturing and commercial corporations were formed, and shares were put on the market to absorb the waiting capital Banks were | multiplied and building and electrical industries were stimulated to feverish development. Speculation became ram- pant Argentine, Chinese, Russian and other foreign bonds were bought, and capital needed at home was sent abroad. After the boom came the in- evitable reaction. But it was all due, according to this theory, to a prema- ture refunding of state securities which had previously served as "a balance wheel' of finance. Germany in this view was not yet rich enough to afford per cent. bond. A government per cent. security would have kept the peo- ple's money out of wildcat investments.
 This is interesting, and plausible. Perhaps by and by some such notion will be used to explain the condition of things in the United States. Just now we are apparently rich enough to do almost anything in the refunding line without suffering from it.

ETHNoLoGY's NEW AID.
Indian Dances Pictured by the Cine
 matograph.

 matograph
 A brand new enterprise of Uncle Sam is the application of the motion picture machine for the analysis of the hitherto mysterious and inexplainable doings of primitive man. Never be- fore this year was this attempted Pro- lessor o. P. Phillips, of the University of Pennsylvania, commissioned few months ago by the governments bu- reau of ethnoogy to initiate this work in the Far West, has just returned from the field.
 This year I conceived the idea of analysing the customs of primitive man by means of the cinematograph camera" said Professor Phillips yester- day to your correspondent. "The American Indian Is fast passing away as a child of nature, and many of his aboriginal practices have gone out of existence within the last few years. Ethnologists can obtain more accur- ate study of Indian customs from ten minutes study by aid of moving pie lures than from days observation by the unaided eye.
 With the best equipment to be had in the world I started for the field last July, and have since spent my time | photographing all of the Pueblo h. dians, Zunis and Moquis, of Arizona and New Mexico, also the Diggers, of the high Sierras. From Canyon Diablo, small station on the Santa Fe rail- road we first journeyed north in cov- cred wagon to the Seven Cities of Tusayan, discovered by the Spanish under Coronado $50 years ago.
 Generous tipping is essential to suc- cessful photography such as I carried on in the Indian country. I soon dis covered this Each primitive red man or woman demanded a fee anywhere from 25 cents to $2 before consenting to pose. Even when I snapped them clandestinely they made me pay up as son as realizing that they had been taken. In addition to distributing lucre in generous quantities, I had to keep stocked with an abundance of calico, yeast cakes, candy, matches and tobac- co. The yeast cakes went far to per- suade the women, who manufacture their native yeaven by chewing up meal and allowing it to ferment in the mois- tened state.
 'The common camera has ever excit- ed the Indian superstition. The cine matograph camera, by reason of the rumbling of it's films, has an even more formidabl effect. Within twenty feet this noise was audible. When heard, 1t in most cases excited fear. Next sum- mer, when I return to the field, I shall take with me parlor instrument. in

true church building is not to be a
 theater or a hippodrome. The cathedral
 gives the only fit architectural lines
 within which the future church in its
 worship and work can be most con- genially and effectively housed
 The Groote kirk gets the people. We have met with several Sunday morning congregations of fully 2,0oo people. i Their worship is led by precentor and organ, I presume the choir is to them one of the relics of the Romsh inquisition, and have heard choirs whigh might be suspected as instru- ments of torture;- but have also known precentors who put one on the rack. The people sing loudly, strongly, slowly, oh, so slowly. And they never omit the third stanza. They seem to think that if psalm or hymn was worth writing 1t is worth singing. One day the precentor announced the 10Sd 1 psalm, and as nearly as I could make out they sang every verse of it-22 verses. What rebellion that would bring to some of our pastors whose congregations feel every tick of the watch after 12 o'clock as cruoifixion. iibFC io O0uOt IilC SciIllOll5 WGiC 6OCu and helpful. Everybody stayed, and we had practically two sermons in each service; at least, when the minister had preached about 30 minutes, he gave out hymn, we all sung loudly and lowly, and then he gave us 30 minutes more. No sermonets for the Dutchman, he wants both quality and quantity.
 But the offertory is a charm and significance. I am not one of those who would banlsh or belittle 1t. It Is an order of worship. It should be im- pressive and dignified and constant But I rather think our zealous Dutch brethren overdo the matter. In every service we had three, and on one occa- sion, four, collections! Do you not think that is Q little too much? I did, and I had the courage of my convic- tions. worshipped once, as I always do, at a Sabbath service. When the bag again appeared was surprised. but worshipped again. When the bag appeared the third time rebelled, and made as though did not see my op- portunity. But the collector, with zeal which commend to all our dea- cons, hit me on the elbow, and I sur rendered. Ever after went prepared for four offerings and as many more as could be projected into the service. One can adapt himself to such condi- tions though sum in simple division. It is fair to say that the last collection was always by an old woman who de- manded pay for sour seat.
 This leads me to say to our earnest advocates of free churches, that have here found no such hospitality as is al- ways accorded in the pewed churches

GOING TO CHURCH.
Tn Holland--The Churches Are Crowd

Tn Holland-The Churches Are Crowded l The people have not ceased going to church In Holland. Everywhere we went we found large and generally | crowded congregations We always at 1 tended the Groote kirk, the Prot ized cathedral In the different Dutch communities In their revolt of the 17th century against the cruelty and crimes of Spanish ecclesiasticism, they
 not only took possession of these cathe-
 drals, but in just rage against the su-
 perstition and oppression these repre-
 sented, they defaced and destroyed much of their beauty. When one reads of the devilish ingenuity end cold
 blooded, persistent cruelty of those times, he does not wonder that in the delirium of their liberation they held
 high carnival in the very throne-room of their oppressors.
 But it would have been better to re- consecrate than to destroy They have tried to re-arrange them for the wor- ship of the Reformed Presbyterian church. The walls are very bare. In some instances they have whitewashed the stone pillars. They have restored very little of the glass. They have cast our the altars and put nothing in their place, deserting all that part of the cathedral. They have retained the pulpit in its old place at one of the pill lars of the nave, surrounded it with pews and inclosed the space with broad walls more or less ornamental. The eff feet is not impressive. And yet their movement is along the right line. The

AN INTER ENTING EORY.

One of the theories put forth in ex- planation of the great depression in business in Germany is that there has been premature refunding of the vari- ous German state securities at rates of interest too low to satisfy investors. For generations the rate of interest in Germany had been from to per cent. The success of the wars with Austria and France and the formation of a United Germany quickened enterprise, and capital accumulated rapidly. The indemnity exacted from France was a large addition to German capital The effect of increased capital was a re- funding of Prussian and other German state bonds at and 31a per cent, and finally as low as per cent. These con- versions looked like public benefits, but they fell heavily upon the well-to-do middle classes and caused them to seek better paying investments. Disdaining per cent, the large number of small investors and many of the large ones sold out their government bonds and invested in private enterprises that

Orchard La Il ds of Long Ago.

The orchard lands of long ago! drowsy winds awake and blow The snowy blossoms back to me. And all the buds that used to be! Blow back again the grassy ways Of truant feet and lift the haze Of happy summer from the trees That trail their tresses In the seas Of grain that float and overflow The orchard lands of long ago! Blow back the melody that slips In lazy laughter from the lips That marvel much that any kiss Is sweeter than the apple Is. Blow back the twitter of the birds; The lisp, the thrills and the words Of merriment that found the shine Of summer time a glorious wine, That drenched the leaves that loved 1t so In orchard lands of long ago. o Memory! alight and sing Where rosy-bellied pippins cling, And golden russets glint and gieam As in the old Arabian dream The fruits of that enchanted tree The glad Aladdin robbed for me! And drowsy winds awake and fan My blood as when it oyerran, A heart ripe as the apples grow, In orchard lands of long ago!

One meets here no such open handed welcome as is accorded even in our most fashionable and exclusive churches at home. To my mind tho whole question is one not at all of principle, but of policy-a question simply of different methods for getting the same money from the same people. While I do not question the right of our Dutch brethren to four or even A collections if they can get them, rath- CT resent their custom of doing the whole business during the sermon. It may be pleasant diversion to thoss of us unfamiliar wit hthe language of the sermon, but in my own church would seriously object to q division of time and attention between the pulpit and the plate.

The chief aim of the Illinois SteeI company is to make money, but it Is
 not unwilling to do what good 1t can
 So 1t supports among it's employees at Joliet an institution known as the Steel Workers club. The plan is to foster a
 desire for education and the spirit of
 sociability, the latter as substitute
 for the sociability of the saloon. The
 headquarters of the club are in fine
 stone structure of ample proportions,
 built especially for the purpose which 1t serves at a cost of about $600O0. It
 is owned by the Illinois Steel company, and Is leased to the club for the nom- inal sum of s1 year. The building is provided with a gymnasium, baths and billiard room. bowling alleys, library, reading rooms, and lecture and enter tainment halls. Any employe of the company is eligible to membership upon payment of dues amounting to $2 an nually, which entities him to all the privileges of the club. While all fixed charges are paid by the company, 1t is required that the educational and en- tertainment courses which are provid- ed shall be paid out of the revenues of the club. The payment of his dues by an employe entities all the members of his family to the privileges of the club, although a slight charge Is made for the educational features. The manage ment is in the hands of board of di- rectors elected by the members That which we seek to avoid here,' says Su- perintendent F. M. Savage, Ifs, first, paternalism, and second. institutional ism. The right policy is to be honest and fearless, and help people to help themselves. Philanthropy that does not teach self-dependence is no contri- button to social progress. Purely char itable work should be kept in the back ground if at all made part of a club for the use of workingmen."

OPPREASIYN PROSHERITY.

I | This is indeed a prosperous country.
 The railroads are making so much
 money that they cannot get cars enough to carry it to headquarters and
 it has to be piled up at the stations un- l til the car builders can make the cars which they have now not time enough l or facilities enough to make. The
 makers of stocks and bonds can't keep up with the public demand, and other great industries are hopelessly behind their orders. This is most glorious state of things, and 1t makes those who look at it right feel unbounded pleasure in the present and unbounded confi- dence in the future. But there are those who don't look at it right Con- spicuous among them is, or was, the New York man who committed suicide day before yesterday. He had been so busy this fall that he was unable to get workmen enough to do his work The orders piled up, and his customers pestered him. He finally concluded that he wouldn't stand it any longer and inhaled Illuminating gas until he found rest from the worry of too much prosperity.
 It is not likely that the example of the New York man will find general imitation. Most business men who can't keep up with their orders will dis cover some comfort and support in the fact that they have so many orders that they can't keep up with them.
