The trees therefore must be dwarf, but at the

old trees, they cannot be merely saphngs, but
must be gnarled and knotted, curved and bent

feet in height and few inches in circumfer-

A PRETTY TABLE DECORATION.

The twisting of the stem should be repeated
at intervals, when growth seems to'be too rapid,
and branches and shoots must be bent and train

A stick may be placed in the pot to which
thew can be tied. If too great height is being
attained the centre shoot must be removed.
The sap which has been checked by cutting
the roots and twisting the stem will form the
nroiections and bosses which give such a char
acteristic appearance to old trees.
1t is good plan to study the shape of some
old tree of the kind and follow it as far
as possible in training the branches
Two or three dwarf oaks or frs look well if
planted together about three inches apart-in
shallow pan or china bowl, and used for the
centre of the table.
Acorns and chestnuts may be started in
glasses, and when sufficiently large be treated
as described, and planted in soil.
Charming miniature spccimcnts of forest can
be produced, the tiny leaves attractive from
the first, and each year of care is well repaid by
the increasing Quaintness of the little trees and

HOW TO GROW DWARF TREES

Oaks, frs and naples very favorite forms,
and tiny cherry trees which bear minute and
dainty blossoms.
HOW TO TWIST THE TREE.
Anyone who is interested in these curious
dwarf trees, can, without much difficulty, raise
a charming collection of their own, and that
too without expense.
Growing under the trees of almost any wood
or copse small trees may be found, which have,
as the expression is, "sown themselves from
seeds, chiefly frs, oaks and chestnuts.
If one of these, which is few inches high,
be taken up and about inch cut off the under
ground stem or root-taking care, of course, to
leave sufficient root and rootlets-this will re-
tard its growth.
The plants should now be held firmly in one
hand and the stem gently twisted, twirling it
round and round, as if winding watch. This
in some rather mysterious way, checks the flow
of sap.
The tree should then be planted in ordinary
earth and watered and kept healthy in the same
manner as any other plant. A warm and even
temperature is desirable, draughts must be care
fully avoided, and water must be given sparing-

Englishman that he laid the keel of his vessel
on Friday, launched her on Friday, christened

And yet, in spite of superstition, Friday is not
an unlucky day. In fact, it can be proved by
the most important happenings in the history
of this and other countries that Friday is the
most fortunate day in the week.

summer season is opening under auspicious cir

among which is the fact that the bookings at the

the future. which seems to be shared by almost
everybody at the Pier. Another reason is the fact
that the Casino has been greatly enlarged and Inn

the Casino has been enlarged, and looks directly
