Dwarf Trees.

On the outskirts of Toxic, Japan,
there Is little colony of native ar
lists who make a speciality of grow
Ing dwarf trees oaks, naples,
beeches, apple trees and many others,
perfect in every detail and proper
ton, but no bigger than shrubs, grown
In jardinieres and used as ornaments
for dining tables. OF the process a
writer says Exactly how these
tiny trees are produced is known
only to a score or SO of individuals.
But the quality essential to the sue
cessful dwarf tree grower is patience
Infinite patience, backed by fund
Of calm resignation unknown to the
Western mind. Fifty years is named
as the shortest period in which a
really good and salable dwarf tree
may be grown, while lifetime is
not long enough to produce the high
est examples of the art. Dwarf trees
are produced from seeds, or-in cases
where this is not practicable--from
carefully selected cuttings. When the
young plant begins to grow it is
tended with ceaseless care, and from
the commencement Of its career it's
natural tendencies are subjugated to
the will off it's master.-American
CultiyatOr.

The Stones Bear Witness.

1t is truly marvellous how the truth
of the Word of God is being vindi-
Gated by modern discovery against
the attacks made upon it by interest
ed critics Few more exciting stories
have ever been told than that which
was narrated last week at the annual
meeting of the Palestine Exploration
Fund
At the very time when the earlier
parts of the Old Testament were be-
ing dismissed with contempt as "un-
historic" the spades Of eXcavatOrs
were busy disinterring long buried
Canaanitish cities, with the result
that high places" of idoltary have
been brought to light containing re-
mains of human sacrifices offered to
heather deities. Thus the abOmina-
lions of the Ammonites are actually
exposed to our gaze.
Even more interesting is the dis
covery Of the form of the ancient
Philistine temples. Men who have
made sport of the story of Samson
pulling down the pillars Of the tenn
pie upon the heads of his enemies,
become, in turn, the objects of de-
rision, as it is now clearly shown
what the pillars" were, and how
easily strong man could have dis
placed them to the undoing both of
himself and of his foes. In the light
of these expert discoveries, believers
have no need to apologize for their
Bible: rather, they ought to expect
an apology from those who have re-
lied upon imagination rather than
sound fact.-London Christian.

A Good Don.

There was an Englishman who i'm
ported famous wolfhound from Eu

offered by the State of Texas-s1O
each Some genuine Texas sports
were invited to witness the first

getting sight of either wolf or hound.
Finally they came to a wooded spot,

Gospel Truth the Instrument of Re-
yiyal.

The great historian Lecky has, in
a noteworthy passage in his famous
History of England in the Eight
zenith Century," declared that the
secret of success of Methodism was
merely that it satisfied some of the
strongest and most enduring wants
of our nature, which found no graft
fication in the popular theology; that
it revived a large class of religious
doctrines which had long been al
most wholly neglected. The utter de-
pravity of human nature, the lost
condition of every man who is born
into the world, the vicarious atone
ment of Christ, the necessity to sal
walton of new birth, of faith, of the
constant and sustaining action Of the
Divine Spirit upon the believers
soul, are doctrines which in the eyes
of the modern evangelist constitute
the most vital and the most infiu-
entail portions of Christianity, but
they are doctrines which during the
greater part of the eighteenth CEN
fury were seldom heard from
Church of England pulpit.
Every student of the period knows
that the wide and simple preaching
of these doctrines of vital personal
religion developed that nobler life
which saved England from decay

ECZEMA SEEMED lNCURABLE.
Body was Raw-Discharged from
Hospitals as Hopeless-Cuticura
Remedies Cured Him.

From the age of three months until
fifteen years old, my son Ovens life was
made intolerable by eczema in its worst
form. In spite of treatments the disease
gradually spread until nearly every part of
his body was quite raw He used to tear
himself dreadfully in his sleep and the
agony he went through is quite beyond
words. The regimental doctor pronounced
the case hopeless. We had him in hos
pitfalls four times and he was pronounced
one of the worst cases ever admitted.
From each he was discharged as incurable.
We kept trying remedy after remedy, but
had gotten almost past hoping for a cure.
Six months ago we purchased a set of
Cuticura Remedies. The result was truly
marvellous and to-day he is perfectly cured.

OBJECT TO OIL TAX.
Inspection System in Kansas May Be
Modified.

1t is believed that there is soon to be
a modlfication or reversal of the fuel
oil order promulgated recently by State
Oh Inspector L. T. Hussey. This order,
II enforced. will subject all fuel oil to
inspection by the Kansas oilinspectors,
for which fee of 10 cents on each
barrel can be collected.
The oil producers, both Independent
and Standard. object seriously to this
inspection fee, and say that it will ruin
the fuel oil business in Kansas
Earl Evans, attorney for the Stan
dard Oil company, came to Topeka
Monday and had conference with At
torney General Jackson about the sit
uation. After the conference it was
announced that the result of the con-
ference would not be made public until
Mr.. Hussey. the state inspector, comes
to Topeka, and informed what conclus-
ion the attorney general has reached.
The oil inspectors order for inspect
ing fuel oil was to have taken effect
on March 1, but was postponed till
April 1 owing to the serious opposition
to the ruling, and the fact that the
machinery for enforcing the order was
not ready for operation.
1t now seems likely that the order
will be SO arranged that it will not in
terfere with the business of the fuel
oil dealers OF the state.

NOT ENOUGH JAILS.
Naval Prisoners Turned Out After
Serving One-thfrd of Sentence.

Washington, March 31.-Because Of
lack of prison accommodations the
navy department has been reduced to
the extremity of discharging all prison
ers. who have served at least one-third
OF their sentences. For some time the
expedient Of providing accommodations
for new prisoners required the DEPART
ment to remit about one-half of the
period of confinement, but increased
demand upon the accommodations of
the naval prisons and prison ships has
required a further extension of the
communication. This has had a bad eff
feet on discipline, but it is deemed nee
essary to protect prisoners from the
unsanitary conditions incident to over
crowding.

relation to the express robbery and
murder Of Messenger Oscar A. Bailey
near Newton. have been released. Ern-
est Leneer, Jack Marshall and Alfred
Skinner, arrested Sunday morning
have been sweated twice The men
were riding the blind baggage of the
car on which the affair took place. Late
Monday state warrants were sworn out
against the men on the charge of rid
ing blind baggage. The complaint was
filed by Special Agent George Haley of
the Santa Fe and the men were re-
moved to the county Jail. The police
believe that If the men were not con-
nected with the affair they would
make good witnesses providing the
murderer is apprehended.
e: N Harris, who says he is from
Indiana, was found yesterday by the
police with his head severely cut and
blood over his clothes. Severe ques-
tioning revealed the fact that he was
on his way to Blackwell, Ok, to secure
employment, when he fell off a train
near Hunnewell, Saturday night about
10 O'Clock. He laid unconscious until
o'clock Sunday morning, when he
went to Aunnewell and was advised to
come to Wichita to secure medical at
tention. He was released last night.
