Judge Robert NJ. Douglass spoke. He
said that his claim on Irish kindred
came through his being Irish on his
mothers side. OF the Irishman he with
~ said that he was a citizen of two
countries, was two men in one, for when
he landed at Castle Garden he was an
American, yet he ever remained an Irish
man. In closing his remarks he said
tere were two Irelands-one the ever
green Isle and the other the wide, wide
world, which was rapidly becoming
irish
Next Mr. Kenney wittily introduced
State Treasurer Lacy, who responded to
the toast, North Carolina, Dear to the
Irishman Present" He said that he
could not get in the same position as
Judge Douglass who had come in by the
'grand- mother clause" as an Irishman in
place of by the grandfather clause, but
that somewhere in this family there had
been Irish blood. He spoke most hap
PLY of the Influence of the Irish, of their
work and of their ability, as he consid-
cred them the best and truest people ON
earth. He told of the good of such gath
q ngs as the one in progress and said
that the guests in their lives could speak
for Ireland and North Carolina by their
deeds and thus add to the renown of
their Patron Saint.
Mr.. Kenney's next toast was ITO the
Press, Especial that of Raleigh and the
News and Observer in Particular" and the
response was made by Mr.. Edward f..
Britton. He spoke of his inability to
claim kinship to the Irish as had Judge
Douglass and Mr.. Lacy because his name
would betray him. OF the Irish and the
Press he said both were agitators, but
both sought to agitate for the best He
paid tribute to the Irish in the forum,
| the pulpit, at the bar, in the forefront
of battle and to the loneliness of the
Irish lass. In closing he paid a tribute
to their patriotism and love of liberty,
in which the Press stood as their com
rade.
There were present number of young
men from Nazareth College and one of
these, Mr.. Thomas Egan, of Baltimore.
was called on. He spoke most earnestly
of the good people he had found in North
Carolina and of the welcome they ex-
tended to strangers.
Captain j. r. Ferrall spoke briefly in
response to the toast, the city of Raj
eigh,' and Mr.. j. R. Ferrall to that of
woman" In doing so he said that he
was deeply interested in one, and that
though he ought to be we'll prepared
, to speak on the subject because his
business was for them that it was too
complex subject for him to speak on
without thorough preparation.
Then came an excellently rendered
song by the young men from Nazareth
followed by solo from Mr. T. H. Cald-
we'll that was much enjoyed. After this
there was pleasant and informal CONVEX
sation which brought to a close an occa-
sion fraught with pleasure, one long to
be remembered, it's closing sentiments
being most happily expressed in the
singing of "Auld Lang Syne" and the
final toast ITO Ireland responded to by
all standing.

The cars built OF steel are about 40

such construction was never pursued.

There have been many cases in which

DwARFTBD TREES OF JAPAN.
The Method Used Was For a Long
Time a Mystery.

The Japanese are a mysterious peo-
pie, and do many interesting and
beautiful things with their hands,
and one of their most interesting
arts is the dwarflng of trees and
plants. The method or doing this
was a secret for centuries, but it
is now known that it is done by
skilful and long course of prun-
ing and regulation. Albert Maui
meme has written on the subject, and
the Revere Scientifique speaks of his
work and says that it is well known
that the art of dwarfing the largest
trees is part of the education of the
Japanese upper elasses-that 1T has It's
schools and celebrities. Young persons
of fortune devote to it the time that
our young women give to the piano,
which shows a comprehension of the

the garden is the outside parIor; the
parlor, the inside garden.
The skill of their gardeners consists
not in making beautiful flowers simply
grow and flourish Their ambition is
greater; trees grown in pots should re-
call by their appearance those that
grow on the mountainsides, on the
edges of ravines, and, while remaining
small. their majestic forms and original
outlines must be preserved. The cul-
tivation of these trees is a work both
of time and patience. This dwarfing
I or, to speak more exactly, this atrophy
of plants is the result of physiological
causes which are themselves the con-
sequence either of the processes of Gull
ture employed or of the environment
of the plants. We must take account
of these two influences at once in the
formation of the lilliputian trees of
Japan, for the Japanese climate plays
a preponderant part in predisposing
vegetation to remain drawfed. Great
altitude, dry heat, persistent cold, in
sufficiency of nourishment, cramping of
the roots, lack of food in the youth Of
the plants winds that bend or break
| the stem--these are some of the ele-
ments that determine the arrest of de-
velopment of the plants that every one
has observed in excursions to the
mountains, among the rocks of the
coast and in arid places in general "a

their effects in a very noticeable re-

pare it for dwarfing. This would be
merely a matter of time and persever-
