DWARFjNG AN OAK TREE.
The Japanese Trick by Which 1t II
Accomplished.


Accomplished.
The Chabo Hiba, 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 dwarting forest
trees was long and costly one. 1t is
now said that it 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 a rich mold
and plant an acorn in the caMtcr Of it,
leaving the hole in the rinu l0r 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 a 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 year it will
be perfect miniature oak. When the
roots cease to grow, the orange skin
should be vanished over and imbed-
ded in fowerpot.
The Japanese dwarf all kinds of trees
and make them live to a great age.
Some of these dwarfs, like the Chabo
Hiba, 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
the calling, trade, art, or what you will,
of growing dwarf trees from genera
ton to generation, and you can buy
miniature oak $50 years old from a 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.

Swim ming.

mo man can ever hope to be strong
swimmer unless he cultivates the pow
er of endurance in the water" says a
professional. 1T costs me no more
exertion to swim for an hour than it
does to walk for the same period Of
time.
Gin swimming a man should time his
stroke with his breathing. He should
take but one stroke to each breath. In
this way the muscles of the body work
in conjunction with the lungs, and no
energy Is wasted. In salt water, which.
of course, is more buoyant than fresh
water, man who has trained himself
in this way should have no difficulty in
keeping atoat. say he were shipwreck-
ed, until sheer weakness from hunger
and thirst would force him to sue
cumb."-Philadelphf Record.
A Big Cat Story.
The following story is told about a
cat, though it is somewhat hard to be-
lieve 1t:
A lady owned favorite cat and an
equally favorite canary. The bird lived
in his mistress bedroom and was al
lowed to fly about at will. One morn,
ing the owner of the two pets was sur
prised to see the bird perched fearless
ly on puss, who seemed both pleased
and proud. The lady, seeing that the
cat was as fond Of the bird as she was
herself, let both roam about In the
room. On one occasion, however. the
lady had bad fright, as she saw puss,
after giving slight growl, seize the
bird in her mouth and spring on to the
bed, her tail swelled out, her hair erect
and her eyes as big as four. The own
er of the canary gave him up at that
moment for lost, but all was made
clear in a moment, when it was seen
that there was a strange cat In the
room. 1t was to preserve the bird
that his wise friend had seized him.
Directly the strange cat was driven
away puss set the bird at liberty.

week of January. He is expected to be
ready to take charge of the office by
the middle OF next month at the latest.
1t is stated that no other changes in the
cabinet are at present contemplated.
Mr.. Smith has been postmaster general
since April 81, 1898, succeeding James A.
Gary. of Maryland, virtually at the out
set of the Spanish war Mr.. Gary had
been one of President McKinley's
original cabinet appointees, but felt
himself physically unable to bear
ing the war. Postmaster General
Smith in an interview spoke as fol-
lows about the action:
AS indicated in my letter of resigna-
ton, this step has been taken in con-
fornity with a plan formed many
months ago. / communicated my pur-
pose to the president last month with
the accompanying statement that 1
wished to consult his convenience as to
the time when 1 should go out The
president was exceedingly gracious n
strongly urged me to stay, but finally
accepted my reasons as conclusive OF
my duty to myself. My relations with
the president have been of the most
cordial character and have strengthen
ed as we have worked together. We
have been in thorough accord in all
matters of policy. I htve formed the
highest estimate of his lofty and patri-
otto standard of administration and it
with him. My resignation has been de-
layed beyond my original purpose for
two reasons which have been harmon
lied. First, to consult the presidents
wishes and not to embarrass his de-
clared policy as to his cabinet, and,
second, to carry forward department
policies in which I am greatly interest
ed to a point where their success is as
sured. My successor, Mr.. Payne, is a
maj who by ability, experience and
knowledge of public affairs is admira-
bly, fitted for the place, n / am glad
to surrender the trus to tuch excellent
hands. / return to active journalism
with a feeling of great satisfaction"
