Japanese Dwarf Trees.

There has been a good many rumors and theories as to how the Japanese dwarf trees are prepared in the first in- stance, but this is a secret which the Japanese keep carefully to themselves. and even then it is only known among limited number of families, who hand it down from generation to generation. One account states that little soil is placed in half an orange from which the inside has been removed. In this soil is placed the seed which it is de- sired to grow. As the roots burst through the skin of the orange they are cut with sharp knife. The process is repeated until the roots evince no further desire to penetrate. The out. side of the orange is then vanished with a secret varnish, and the young tree planted in an ornamental pot.

places at a window looking from the

La Svengali appears. They recognize
her as Trilby She sings Ben Bolt''
while under the hypnotic influence Of

dead, just as the manager rushes in ex-

Karl Heinrich is a German prince,
whose young life has been stif1ed by the
fOrmality and system of court etiquette
and funkyism. He has grown to mans
estate in his uncle's castle without know
ing any Of the real joys of youth. Then it
is decided that he shall go to Heidelberg
to polish off the work of his private tu-
tors and become adapted to the require
ments of his high station. There he
realizes what he has lost, but as he is
about to quaff the cup of Joy it is dashed
from his lips by a call back to pomp and
circumstances to which he was born.
Love for a charming young girl makes
the blow the more bitter, but Karl is a
victim of destiny and he must go.
A couple of years later the loneliness
of his royal life Is broken by visit of
an old waiter formerly popular with Held
elberg students. The prince is so deeply
affected by the interview that he cannot
resist the impulse to return. His expert
enee on his return to Heidelberg is only
a page from the experience of everyone
who tries to recall the days of impaired
youth. Sad as this portion of the story
is, it is by no means gloomy, but gives
Mansfield great opportunity for the man

gular- despot in history. The celebra ted
play is historical tragedy of medieval
Russia and the work of Count Alexis
Tolstoy, relative of Count Lyof Tolstoy
ForeaFlong time, indeed, until the acces-
sion of the present liberal-minded Czar
son of the emperor of Russia was per-
mitted on the stage. Nicholas relaxed
the censorship in many directions and in
this one in order that Ivan the Terrible"
might be seen by his people Private
representations had repeatedly been given
at the royal palaces by amateur casts
made up of immediate members of the
royal family previous to 1901. but in that
year the company of the Theater Alex
andre, the stage theater, was given per-
mission to present "Ivan the Terrible -
1t achieved an instant success as pop
uIar as 1t was artistic and thereafter was
played continuously for three years.
: Mr.. Mansfield will say farewell on
"wednesday night in his revival of the
fascinating Beau Brummel" a role
which, whatever may be the artists
other achievement, will remain in the
neafts and minds Of many as his most
finished characterization.
Nothfng need be said of the size and

is established. Today the Mansfield or
