not badly injured. He was about four
years old, and a handsome specimen.

DELIGHTFUL JAPANESE ART
The Training and Dwarhng of Certain
Varieties Of Flower Bear
ing Trees.

Among the many delightful arts and
studies Of the japanese none is more
strange, unique and ancient than that
Of their training, cultivating and dwarf
ing Of certain varieties OF their flower
bearing trees. They seize upon certain
peculiarities OF the tree. and emphasize
or exaggerate this trait even to the point
OF caricature. They aim to express deli
cate meanings which a western magma
tion could scarcely grasp; as, for in
stance. laboriously training certain
types Of trees to convey the ideas Of
peace, chastity quiet old age. c0nnubiai
happiness and the sweetness OF solitude,
writes Onoto Watanna, In woman's
Home Companion.
While essentially artistic. japanese
gardeners do not seek for rare flowers or
trees. however beautiful they may be.
but rather cultivate the cherry. the
plum. azalea. iaponica and other COM
mon towering trees. and train these
into the rarest Of shapes. making festi-
walls OF their blossoming-time, and plac-
ing fairy plum and cherry trees in pots
In the guest-chamber as a token OF hos
pitality. The cultivated flowers OF ia
pan are the wild flowers. and the culti-
waited trees are those most commonly
known and understood.
II would seem that the same perverse
order Of things obtains in their culture
OF dwarf trees as IN everything else Jap
anese. Where westerners would train
their trees to grow tall and straight and
symmetrical. the japanese fix upon a
motif. and laboriously, patiently and
systematically adapt nature to their
own design. until the tree Is twisted and
distorted from its original plan. and
slowly fe'.oue their conception to per-
fectlon. The process sometimes covers
hundreds OF years. being handed down
from. generation TO generation. for this
precious labor cannot be accomplished |
by one man or one generation. When |
Inc design is developed by the exposure
oi the root It car only be done at the /
rate Of a quarter Of an inch a year
Many OF the designs are developed By |
grating various kinds OF trees upon one
root. or planting more than one tree IN /
a garden and training the roots and
branches together.
The japanese exhibit the same ex-
luisite veneration for age in trees as
in people. and favorite conceit is the
of the plum tree. so rugged and
ynarled and knotted with its slender
shoots and sparse studded arrangement
Of flowers. that It typlfies admirably the
contrast OF bent OF grabbed age with
fresh aud vigorous youth, best displayed
when the tree Is IN bud.

James F. Sweeney, OF the Su1olk
(Mass.) bar, is noted for the brightness
and aptness Of his recods. Recently in q
case a woman was very refractory un-
der cross-examination, and, although
the lawyer used all politeness and mild
ness, sharp and unsatisfactory replies
were received. Her meek and humble
husband was present in court
Mr. Sweeney tried another innocent
question. when the lady responded with
vindicitiye fire flashing from her eyes:
Mr. Lawyer, you needn't think you
can catch me; no. sir; you can't catch
me-" With his most pleasing smile Mr..
Sweeney responded: Madam, haven't
the slightest desire to catch you. and
your husband looks to me as II he was
sorry he had succeeded A ripple Of
laughter went round the courtroom. the
judge stroked his mustache to hide a
smile. and the crier raped for order

THE PROMOTER STOOD IN.
Entitled to a Share for Imparting a
Good Idea to the Com
pany.

How Seth Bullock. superintendent OF
the Black Hlns forest reserve. personal
friend Of the president and not infre-
quently a guest at the white house and
a noted western character. managed to
secure a fancy drink in the early days
Of Helena is told by a former resident
Of that city, now Of this. It serves to
show, says the Washington Post, that
the age of promotion" is not as young
as is pictured by later date savants.
Il was In the early '7O's. when Hele-
ma was one of the banner placer min
ing camps of the west and gold was be-
ing washed by hundreds of men from
the sands Of Last Chance guIch (now
Main street,. Bullock wanted a fancy
drink and did not care to remunerate
the bartender with a fancy price in
lieu, 50 he evolved plan which
worked to perfection.
Entering the saloon, Bullock said:
C. I'll tell you what let's do.
II you will furnish the sherry, I'll fur
nish the fresh eggs. and we will mix
up drink that is out Of sight"
As eggs we're worth two dollars
dozen. the liquor man decided that II
was a good bargain. although wine was
sold at a stiff figure in those days.
Then Bullock went into the grocery
nearby and said to the proprietor:
W. If you win furnish the eggs,
I'll furnish the sherry and we will have
something worth while in the line Of
fancy drinks"
The grocer agreed to furnish the
eggs and a few minutes later both en-
tered the liquor house. The concoc-
ton was duly prepared and the three
began 70 absorb It.
AS Seth swallowed his share. an
idea struck the bartender.
"Sayl" demanded he. turning upon
Seth, where do you come In on this
game anyway? W. has furnished
the eggs and have supplied the liquor.
How do you get in?"
'Oh. I'm the promoter replied Bull
lock with a smile.
There was nothing left to say.
Electricity and Plants.
Recent experiments of the Massachu-
sets agricultural college tend TO show
that atmospheric electricity acts as
stimulus to plants and has much to do
with their development and eonfgura-
ton. Il was found during the expert
ments that at a distance OF 30 feet from
the ground the air. for ahouf rfno-4onthz
Of the time. has a positive electric
charge The differences Of potential be-
Ing the earth and the air ranged from
70 volts negative to 300 volts positive.
In thunderstorms the potential Of the
air frequently changes from positive to
negative. and vegetation often becomes
charged.

were rescued by Mr.. Robson.
The body Of one of the little girls

PLAYERS AT MONTE CARLO.
Are Closely Watched and Investigated
by Large Number Of Ac-
tive Spies.

Nowhere on earth is the faculty BQ
we'll developed as at Monte Carlo ol
extracting the last sou from the pub
lie. The place has grown several
times over in ten years The annual
profits amount to about E1,000,000.
1t has become huge gambling trust
up to date, keeping abreast Of the
times and defying and meeting all
competition, says a writer In the Lon
don Mail
The splendid business capacity of M.
Blanc, who is Monte Carlo as much
as Mr. Chamberlain is the fiscal ques-
tion, has led him to make the discov-
cry that some lucky gamblers have
been taking money away from Monte
Carlo. This is a defect in his sys-
tenn that he intends to remedy, as
in his opinion the Casino company
needs the cash more than anyone else
does.
About 200 active spies are employed
at Monte Carlo. They throng the
gambling rooms. pick up facts about
the players. catch and expel pick
pockets. track persons who exude
counterfeit coins, and make them
selves generally useful to their en-
ployers.
One Of their duties is to collect sta
tistics as to how much the big win
ners WIZ and what they do with It.
These gentry have discovered that
when a gambler has won a few thou
sand pounds at thirty-or-forty or rou-
lette he becomes tired of both distrac-
tions. He wants new worlds to con-
quer. and he goes off and loses all
his profits at Nice or Cannes at the
bacoarat tables.
Here you have the Monte Carlo fis-
cal question. and NJ Blanc has taken
steps to prevent the deleterious ex-
portation Of bullion that might very
well remain where 1t is.
