Both with the branches and tree
trunks, this knotting and twisting
will have to be repeated at intervals
if the trees grow above. a certain
height. During this process the best
results are obtained by keeping the
trees in a room where the temper
AZURE is about Go or 20 degrees, and
they should be watered frequently;
in fact, the soil should be kept wet
all the time. Cold, though not icy
water, should be used. If the growth
of the trees is not retarded by this
treatment. the leaves and blossoms
may be forced at the end of two or
four weeks:

FRUIT TREES. iF DWARFED
WILL BLOSSOM in WINTER

"If women knew what attractive
s~hrubbery they could have to dec
crate their homes in their winter,
more of them would dwarf fruit trees
that bear pretty blossoms, even If the
process is a slow, tedious one de-
clared a prominent n~urseryman, for
| know of no plant that flowers dur
ing the cold weather that gives such
fragrance or a sense of freshness as
a miniature cherry tree, apple, peach
or ounce tree.
"Dwarfing, contrary to the general
idea, is not a mysterious art or par
ticularly difficult, but the work takes
time, and is considerable bother, and
the trees must be taken when young
not more than a year old-Or the
process will not be entirely success
full, Then, too, careful attention must
be paid to the temperature of a room
in which these trees are kept, or the
leaves and blossoms cannot be forced.

a healthy specimen, OF the transplant

combined with the indoor life, may
kill the seeding. The pot OF wood
en- tub in which the tree is placed
must also be thoroughly considered,
for it must be remembered that
though the trunk and branches are
dwarfed the roots grow normally,
and a large vessel with plenty of
earth must be furnished or the tree
will not be properly nourished.
"Once the transplanting is done
and this is work that a nurseryman
should do, to make sure that the
roots will have plenty of room and be
well covered with loam-the tree
may be taken into the house. in a
room where the temperature is not
more than fifty degrees Fahrenheit,
carefully watered when the earth be-
gins TO get dry, and left to get ac-
customed to its new surroundings. If,
after six weeks or two months, the
tree seems to be in a normally heal
thy condition, the first work of dwarf
ing may be started. This process
may be done in several ways, to be
determined by the size that is wanted
and also the shape. If a small stub
by brush effect Is desired the best
and quickest method is to tie the
tree trunk in knots, for this takes
off the height Immediately and gives
a gnarled and old appearance that
could not be secured in any other
way. If, however, a smooth trunk
is desired and it is not essential to
have an excessively low tree, twisting
the trunk will be sufficient to bring
the result.
Strange as it may cen to an in
experienced person. this twisting and
tying does not injure the tree, for
the wood is so soft and pliable that
it may be bent into any shape without
breaking, or wen swapping. To Ell
Their twist or tie, take the trunk firm
ly in one hand and with the other
bend gently but firmly round and
round, or make into a knot just AS
with a piece of cord. This twisting
and winding does not even let the
sap escape, for the fibre is SC elastic
that it seems to give even when tied
in several knots that take anywhere
from six to eighteen inches from the
height of the tree.
Twisting the trunk is not the only
work, for il the branches are to be
made into any set form. such as q

WORLDS COLD SUPPLY.
Yellow Metal Distributed All Over
Earth-Found in Volcanic Rocks.

The worlds gold supply is abso-
lutely inexhaustible, no matter what
demands are made upon it, says a
writer in Moody's Magazine. Hith-
erto the attention of miners has been
entirely directed to comparatively
rich, easily worked deposits. But 1t
has to be remembered that gold in
small quantities occurs in enormous
masses of rock throughout the world.
Almost all volcanic rocks and the
formations derived from them. such
as granite, serpentine and rhyolite,
contain appreciate quantities of
gold, and vast deposits of sedimen-
tary rocks derived from such volcan-
ic formations contain gold in concen
trated form, and are today in some
localities p~rofitably worked.
Profit is and always has been the
incentive to gold production. Should
there ever be need for working the
volcanic and sedimentary rocks that
are auriferous the means of profit
ably working them will be found.
Experiments have shown that gold
is regularly falling to the earth, in
association with cosmic dust, and
day and night settles all over the
ldHQ anu O6d. OOUlt VI lulS BOlus
when concentrated by wind or water,
or dissolved by acid surface waters
and redeposited in a more concen-
trated form is recoverable.
Gold in the Sea.
The waters of the sea, also, are
auriferous, and there can be little
doubt that, If ever in the remote
future there should be an extraor-
binary demand for gold, means could
be found for profitably reducing the
gold in the e water.
The area of the sea-bed is much
larger than that of the land. Its
composition is similar in every re-
spect with that of the land. 1t is
composed of mountains, plains and
%plateaus; of %igneous, metamorphic
and sedimentary rocks, which con-
tain great areas of collaborating and
other mineral veins.
AO41y I'm a few instances, however,
wheie stheS Submarine gold fields are
close to the land, will it be possible
to work them as the submarine coal
fields, are now worked. But those
oceanic gold fields on which the veins

to constant attrition by the waves.
This causes the shedding of gold.
which is concentrated by the e and
washed ashore.
Gold deposits thus formed exist in
many countries, and they are re-
markable in that they are renewed
or enriched by almost every storm
that passes over them. These de-
posits are known by various names.

sufficiently describes them. They oc-

new JERSEY
is UNIQUE.

THE position which New Jersey
holds among her sister states is un.
1que in many respects and in one, in
particular, she occupies an equally
advantageous position with the Fed
eral Government" said a director OF
several of Newark's most prosperous
banks yesterday. Were New Jersey
compelled to go into the money mar
ket for a loan today she could secure
as much money as she might need at
n rate of interest no higher than that
commanded by the national govern
ment for the reaso hat her security
is absolute. This is true because
New Jersey has no state debt. More
over there is no state tax on the peo-
pie and the state contributes very
largely every year out of its surplus
funds in the payment of local taxes.
New Jersey may also boast of show
ing a clean balance of upward of
$4,000, 900 at the end of each fiscal
year, which | believe is true of no
other state in the Union.
For eleven years the end of each
fiscal veal has shown to this state a
balance in her favor. In these eleven
years the treasury income has ore
than doubled and is today more than
a quarter of a million greater than
the income of the entire state was in
1895. The figures in the surplus
which has marked New Jerseys fin
ances for so long a period is due in
part to the fact that the increase in
the expenses of the state government
is much less than the increase in the
income. 1t is thus apparent that the
margin must grow since cost of gov
eminent and income are wider apart
each year.
Zone item of New Jerseys finances
which has contributed more largely
than any other to its prosperity is the
income from the tax upon corpora
tions. This income in ten years has
increased by ~$1,724,140. In other
words, from $3.50, 292 in 1895 it in
creased to $2,422, 432 last year. I
cannot conceive of any better answer
than the above figures to the argu-
ment which is so often advanced
against Jersey, namely, that 1t is a
corporation-ridden state. The people
of New Jersey owe to it's corporation
tax their freedom from any taxes and
from "a heavy burden which is still
allowed by less enterprising states to
harass their people. This income in
the state of New Jersey besides Civ
ing for school support, local taxes,
roda building, etc, is expended very
largely in land and public institu-
tions of various sorts. In the last
ten years millions have been expend-
ed by the state in land.
New Jersey is not going to stop
with the good work already done but
her new tax laws will add to the
state income in the ensuing year APP
Droximately $4,000, 900 in railroad
taxes. The new assessment shows an
increase of more than $1,000, 000, 900
in assessed values, the greater part
of which is upon the corporations.
The net increase In the values of real
estate, in the output of her indus
tries, in her population, and the
wealth of the individual is pushing
New Jersey ahead so fast that it will
be a question of a comparatively few

HE WAS CURED.

A certain clergyman in Richmond
has had in his employ for so long a

latter has come to regard himself as
something of a confidential adviser

tor awoke feeling decidedly i'll. After
a futile attempt at breakfast, he sum
moned his old and faithful servitor,
saying:
Julian, | want you to go to my
assistant, Mr.. Blank, and tell him
that, as am unwell, he will ~oiiciate
for me in this mornings service
At this Julian demurred, and, at
ter some argument, persuaded his
master that he would feel better If he
oficiated as usual. This the latter
did, and, as predicted by the darby,
he did return home feeling much bet
ter.
"You'se better, subj" asked the
servant, meeting his master at the
door.
Very much better, thank you, Ju-
liam.

Watch Us Grow.
What Wont We Have Before
We Get Through?

Say you! Take off your hat to
the new Elk Horn-the metropolitan,
.s watch our smoke' hifalutin Elk
Horn. The Elk Horn with the
beautiful cement sidewalks, winding
boulevards and "reglar keep off the
grass''' signs. That's the kind of
an Elk Horn that is just beginning
to burst forth from among the hills
to the westward. Some time ago
the citizens began to discern the ne
cessity of some new sidewalks.
They debated long and earnestly over
the matter and finally decided to
build cement walks to reach the en-
tire length of west main street. But
there were objections. The build
ings were not in line; the proposed
line would necessitate the removal of
the hitchlng posts; a straight walk
would be too far from a number of
the buildings. All these and many
other objections were offered. New
ertheless meeting was called and
decisive action taken. They must be
built. Masons we're secured and the
contract was given. The time was
set and to work they went. In front
of those buildings standing too far
back, fine cement porches were con-
structed; one property owner could
not see his way clear to put in the
walk. Here was a problem. To
have break of couple of rods in
the walk would never do. What
did they do? Why they simply
bought the two lots, house ard all
and the new owner told the masons
to go ahead That's the way they
do business in Elk Horn. But the
end is not yet. When they are
done, they will have fine cement
walk the entire length of the town,
the street graded to perfect smooth.
ness, the hitching posts moved
across to the east side of the street,
and to make long story short, they
will have one of the very best main
streets OF any small town in the
U. S. and that's not Joking either.
Take off your hat to Elk Horn. Did
you hear?
