DWARFiNG AN OAK TREE.
The Japanese Trick by Which 1t Is
Accomplished.

The Japanese Trick by Which 1t Is
Accomplished.
The Chabo Hiba, a dwarf Japanese
pine tree, was recently sold for 81, 200.
tits 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 1t is 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 skin.
Take q 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 perfect miniature oak. When the
roots cease to grow, the orange skin
should be vanished over and imbed-
ded in a fiowerpot.
The Japanese dwarf all kinds of trees
and make them live to great age.
Some of these dwarfs, like the Chabo
Hiba, are well 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
the calling, trade, art, or what you will,
of growing dwarf trees from genera
ton to generation, and you can buy a
miniature oak 500 years old from de-
scendant of the man who first planted
the acorn. Not only forest trees, but
fruit trees and Towering shrubs, are
dwarfed by these clever gardeners.

There Were Others.

After q woman had devoted severa
years and some money to the task OF
learning the German language thor
oughly she felt herself more accom-
plished than some of her friends AND
took pleasure in the pride that this
knowledge gave her. One day she was
in street car when a man entered and
vainly tried to tell the conductor where
he wanted to go. He spoke only Ger
man, the conductor understood not a
word, and the passenger in despair
turned to the others in the car.
Does anybody here speak German?''
he asked
This, thought the learned young wo-
man, was an opportunity for her to
make practical use of her really thor
oIgh knowledge of the language, She
was preparing to volunteer her serv-
ices as interpreter when the others
who had heard the request also Of
fered their aid. In all there were
among the passengers on the car
eleven men and two women who spoke
German. While she still prizes her ac-
complishment, this studious young wo-
man does not think her knowledge so
unusual as she once did.

Mrs. John G. NriIburn.

While the name of Milburn has since
the attack on President Mckinley be-
come almost a household word, and
though John G. Milburn was well
known even before, very few have
heard of Mrs. John G. Milburn. In
reality Mrs. Milburn is potent factor
in home and society in Buffalo, but
club life knows her not.
She is a woman of splendid charac-
ter and strong physique and would be
of inestimable value in the larger af-
fairs of life, but Mr.. Milburn is still
sufficiently English to prefer women in
private and deprecates their being
prominent in public way.
In fact, he has stated that he does
not believe in women's clubs and
thinks the home a sufficient outlet for
her energies; hence Mrs. Milburn's
membership in the colony of unknown
wives of well known men.--New York
Times.

ROBBED In n single shnde.

1t is not TO be winter of touches of
this tint and scraps Of that color added
to frock of neutral tint. From Paris
comes the edict that everything one
wears must match in color. 1t is an eff
fective way to dress, but hardly eco

dom are already manifest in Paris.

shoes and stockings, accord or, at any
rate, correspond in shade. Imagine a

velvet hat, worn with gray gloves, a
gray rutlie, gray silk stockings and
gray suede shoes-a symphony il soft
gray-with knot of pink carnations

fed success for its charming wearer.

A LITTLE BOY FLOWER.
The Pretty Notion of the Baby's Pc.
etic Little Uncle.

The Pretty Notion of the Baby's Po-
etic Little Uncle.
This is the story of little California
boy who thought he would like to be a
fIower-at least that is what his six
year-old uncle thinks he thought. The
two little boys, the little uncle and the
baby, had been playing together all
morning. A California garden is a
beautiful place to play in, SO it is no
wonder that they felt very happy. And
presently the little uncle climbed up on
top of one of the big porous water jars
which are used for cooling water to
drink Then the little uncle was called
into the house suddenly, and Baby
Ward must have decided that he want
ed to get up into that great jar quite
bit taller than he was himself.
So when the little uncle came out Of
the house again he found his baby
nephew trying and trying to climb up
to the top of the jar. The little uncle
caught up the baby and held him on
top of the jar, but that didn't satisfy
King Baby in the least, By and by the
little uncle realized that the baby
wanted to get inside the jar, and he
lifted the child and placed him in post
tion. Then, as the baby's head Wa
some distance beneath the top of the
jar, and the baby voice cried to be-
lifted, the little uncle found a big stone
for, the baby to stand on.
'Why do you suppose the child want
ed to get in the jar?" puzzled the
baby's mother and grandmother when
the little uncle had Summoned them
from the house to see how sweet his
dear little nephew looked in the
strange new position.
81 think" answered the little uncle,
watching the baby reach toward the
big, lovely bush Of marguerites or
white golden hearted daisies which
stood near, 'that he loves flowers SO
much that he wanted to be a nice lit
tie flower boy himself, and he thought
if put him in water. as we do the
flowers, maybe he'd grow to be one"
And as the baby said nothing the lit
tie uncle was probably right.

A Good peed Of the Ants.

In speaking Of the havoc some ants
make, let us also remember some good
service rendered In the West Indies
there is red cockroach which is four
times as large as the common one. 1t
smells horribly scents everything that
1t touches, is far more destructive than
the ant and eats everything with
which it comes in contact
Now, although one cockroach in bulk
outweighs 200 ants the latter little
creatures kill and devour innumerable
cockroaches.
Whenever one ant comes upon cock

hole, suddenly myriads of others APP

AS it is dragged away only mass of
ants can be seen moving along. All
the time the ants carry their prey they
are busily eating it until only the shell

THE WIDOW TAX.


In m1ndana0 "a Wife's Death Costs
the Wfdower One Hundred Plates.
Becoming widow or a widower is a
much more serious business than get
ting married among some of the tribes
in the Philippines. In Mindanao mar
rying in haste often leads to a pro-
longed ''repenting at leisure for they
have an institution there known as the
widow taxH-.'c habaloan'' the natives
call it. Upon the death of the wife the
widower must pay certain sum of
money or it's equivalent in goods to his
fAther-in-law before he can go a-court-
ing again. AS money is scarce article
among these natives, the tax generally
is paid in plates Of common, stone CHI
ma" which are much Ssed by the ma
tives as a. medium of exchange. 1t is
considered the proper thing for the be-
reaved one to pay 100 of these plates to
his father-in-law for permission to look
about him for a successor to the de-
ceased helpmate.
If the husband dies, the widow at
once becomes the property Of her par
enlS-ln-ldN' AKA so remains lOf lie uu-
less some relative comes forward and
produces the necessary number Of din
ner plates. The natural result of this
is that married people are all extreme
ly solicitous for the health of each 9th
er. In sickness the invalid is sedulous-
ly attended by the partner of his or
her joys and sorrows, the well person
perhaps being moved more by the
thought of those hundred plates than
by real affection.
Divorce is unknown among these peo-
pie, but man may have as many
wives as he pleases. 1t will be seen
that in case of an epidemic which
would sweep away his wives married
man would be in dire extremity. In
the case of death of much married
man his parents come into small for
tune, for they either have enough
slaves to render future work on their
part unnecessary or they receive enough
plates from the families Of the widows
to set up crockery store.

Initiative Tots at PLAY.

WORDSWORTH lines of a child at play,
"as if his whole vocation were endless
imitation" were recently recalled by a
conversation overheard in the chill
dren's ward at provincial hospital.
A little girl whose role was that of
nurse rang an imaginary telephone on
the wall to talk to her companion at
the farther end of the room, who play
ed the part of doctor.
"Helloy' said the nurse. is that the
