rounded top to the sky, or some new
decoration Of form or color is added to
the wonderful bouquet OF architectur-

Never was there an Exposition so

In order that there may be abundant

the employment OF original sculptured

Increasing interest and attendance at
the various dairy schools throughout
the United States and Canada and the
existence of great cooperative and
commercial organizations for the
manufacture and sale of dairy prod
ucts are an indisputable testimony to
the achievements Of modern science.
In this great industry the Government
has appropriated vast sums of money
to help the dairyman In his work. and
this is Indicative Of its Importance as
a factor of the great food problem Of

a Word to Young Men.

Every once in while some-
body rises up TO tell the young
men of this generatinn that they
have no such chance to succeed in
business or in the professions in a
sort of lugubIious wall over the
fact. Now it is undoubtedly true
that the conditions OF success have
very much changed within the
past twenty-five years; but 1t is
equally true that those who have
the intelligence TO adjust them
selves to the existing situation,
together with requ isite amount
of en- rgy, need have no fear of
their future.
a few weeks ago General JOS
eph Wheeler delivered an address
in New York before a Church Tenn
perance Society, in the course of
which he said: "During all my
life l have had Tquests from young
men for letters which would help
them to get situations. 1 always
say to them: go to the place of
business where you want to get
work and tell the proprietor that
you have come to make your fer

for 1t, and that if he will give you
a trial, you Will como without pay

Inside of each are directions printed in

a few Democrats IN the interests of

any truth in the story or not. But
the idea of Bro Ford saying that Hor-
ace McKenney is a drinking man, is
simply preposterous, and Mr.. Ford
knew it when he wrote the above. The
Twiner editor is the first man in Har-

outlandish lie as that, but it seems
that politics will make fellow do

Becoming Il widow ora widower is a
much more serious business than get

IN the Philippines. In NIindanao "mar-

lon.cd 'rcpcnting at leisure" for they
have an Institution there known as the
"widow taX'-'.chabaloan' the natives
call it. Upon the death of the wife the
widower must pay Il certain sum of
money or its equivalent in goods to his
father-in-law before he can go a-court-

If the husband dies the widow at

DwARFlNG AN OAK TREE.
The Japanese Trick by Which II II
Accomplished.


The Chabo IIiba, dwarf Japanese
pine tree, was recently sold for 81, 200.
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 dwarting forest
trees was Il long and costly one. 1t is
now said that 1t is simple process and
that any one can do the trick. The fol-
lowing directions are given for produc-
ing Il 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 skin.
Take Il sharp knife and shave these OFF
carefully and keep them shaved. The
tree will grow about five or six inches
high and then stop. In a year it will
be a perfect miniature oak. When the
roots cease to grow, the orange skin
should be varnished over and imbed-
ded in Il flowerpot.
The Japanese dwarf all kinds of trees
and make them live to Il great age.
Some of these dwarfs, like the Chabo
IIiba, are we'll known, and their own
ers have documentary evidence attest
ing their great age. The older they
are the more valuable, of course, they
are In Japan certain families follow

tion to generation, and you can buy a
miniature oak 500 years old from q de-

the acorn. Not only forest trees, but
fruit trees and Towering shrubs, are
dwarfcd by these clever gardeners.

The contesting teams were even

minutes after the commencement
of the game, the spectators were
assured that it was to be battle
royal, and they were in no ways
disappointed.
Mass plays, smashes, trick plays,

the foot ball menu was tried by
the team captains, but SO evenly
