Miniature Trees That Are Grown In
China Bowls.
In the window of florist stood some
quaint china bowls, in each Of which
grew tree-not shrub, but a full
sized tree, dating back many years.
eyes" replied the florist to the writ
ers inquiry, they are real trees-oaks,
naples and beech trees. We get them
from Japan, where the secret of how
to rear them is known only to few.
They are raised from seeds or special
ly selected cuttings, which are watch
ed and tended with that marvellous
patience inherent in the eastern races.
Fifty years may pass before the tree
is considered salable. During this pc
Rod the plant is trained and its nat
ural tendencies subjugated to the will
of the rearer. The gardener prunes
and trims and rears and directs with
what Carlyle called genius-'an inf
mite capacity for taking palms. A way
ward twig may be bound up for two
or three years to insure it's correct
growth. Periodically the tree is re-
ported. Each time this happens the
roots are carefully examined and use
less fiber cut away. Everything is
done to concentrate the life of the
tree in the smallest possible space.
And in time, after years Of labor, he
plant loses it's ability to send out long,
lusty shoots and becomes delightful
miniature of it's larger brethren."-

A CHARITY PATIENT.
The Price He Had to Pay For Expert
Surqical Treatment.

The Price He Had to Pay For Expert
Surgical Treatment.
The famous surgeon Velpeau was
visited one day at his house during
the consultation hour by marquis
renowned for his closeness. Velpeau
informed the marquis that an opera
ton was urgent and that the fee would
amount to 1000 francs. At this the
marquis made a wry face and left. a
fortnight later DR.. Velpeau, while max
ing his rounds In the Hopital de la
Charlie, had his attention attracted
by face that seemed familiar to him.
In answer to his inquiry 1t was stated
that the patient was a footman of a
nobleman in the Faubourg St Ger
main. The surgeon found that his case
resembled in every particular the
somewhat unusual one for which the
marquis had consulted him fortnight
previously. He refrained, however,
from making any comments. Three
weeks after the operation, when the
patient was about to be discharged,
DIR. Velpeau called him aside and ex-
claimed: Monsieur, l am extremely
battered and pleased to have been able
to cure you. There is, however, a
small formality with which you will
have to comply before ! can sign your
exeat-that is, you will have to sign
a check for 10000 francs in behalf OF
the public charity bureau Of your met
ropolitan district" The patients face
became livid. "You can do what you
like about it." continued the doctor,
''but If you refuse all Paris will know
tomorrow that. the Marquis de D.
adopted the disguise Of a footman In
order to secure free treatment at this
hospital and to usurp the place which
belongs by right to a pauper." OF
course the marquis paid-Argonaut.

ORIENTAL RUGS.
Made to Resemble the Antiques by
Chemical Washings.

Made to Resemble the Antiques by
Chemical Washings.
The United States buys annually
many thousand dollars worth of what
are known to the profession as wash
ed rugs. Brightly colored oriental rugs
sometimes are washed with a solution
Of chloride of lime, treatment which
partly bleaches the colors and imparts
a soft appearance to the rug.
This chemical treatment is a process
Of washing which produces the effect
of age and a peculiar sheen to the sur
face, which is pointed out by the I'M
scrupulous dealer as a proof of supe-
rior quality. The fact is that the proc
ess of washing as described invariably
weakens and in some instances de-
stroys the materials Of the rug.
The progressive effect of the chem
icals on the materials in the rug is
this: The chlorine gas contained In the
chloride Of lime attracts oxygen and
moisture from the air, by which muri-
attic acid is formed This eats away
the vitals of the rug. Sooner or later
the wool and cotton In the rug become
brittle and thus weaken the warp and
deteriorate the wool.
When this deterioration is complete
the pile Of the rug may be swept away
by the ordinary process Of sweeping,
and the warp, which is the foundation
Of the rug, becomes so weak that holes
appear here and there, and soon the
rug is worthless.
1t not seldom happens that Persian
rug is too staring in some bright hue
perhaps red, and is not salable. The
INSCRIPTIONS dealer will subject the
rug to a series of washings in chem
ically prepared water In this way be
turns out a rug possessing soft an
tique sheen that is truly captivating
and finds a ready purchaser at an adj
vanced price.-Chicago Tribune.

The Surprise of sIlvnItsa.

II have never quite made out" says

Bulgarian war In 1885. That was de-

HELPED THE BOYS.
A Letter That Aroused King Christian
of Denmark

King Christian of Denmark once
found in his morning mail letter
which moved him more than did most
matters of state. The letter was in a
boyish scrawl and read as follows:
Dear King-we are four boys at Flax
kebjerb school, and the master whips us
daily with a piece of steel rope he found
in the harbor. If he doesn't stop there
will be fire.
The name Of the teacher being given,
the king ordered him to report at once
to the minister of justice, while he
took the next train for Flakkebjerb
and examined the class in the teachers
absence The children. unawed by the
presence of the cruel teacher, told their
grievance to the kindly old king who
promised immediate relief, closed the
school for the day and ordered that the
boys be treated to chocolate and cakes
at his expense "to remember him by"
But he did more than that On re-
turning to Copenhagen he dismissed
the cruel teacher without pension, at
the same time giving a general warn
ing to all teachers to be chary Of cor
poral punishment IF boys cannot be
trained without cruel beatings," this
wise king said. then there must be
something the matter with those who
train them. The coming generation
must not be made ruffians by ruftianly
teachers"

II WAS A FINE COD.
A Little Story of William M. Chase, the
/ nar+raif painter

Several years ago l had studio at
Hammersmith and was hurrying into
London one morning to transact some
business. Just as ] swung around
corner occupied by a fishmonger's
market my eye was attracted to
magnificent cod stretched out for ex-
hibition on a clean slab of white mar
BILE. Whatever my mood for color was
that morning, that fish completely fit
ted and filed it, | must paint it, de-
cided
| called out the proprietor and told
him what l wanted. l was bachelor,
1 explained, and did not want to buy
the big fish only wished the use OF
1t as a model Could | rent it?
SOW, now, SIR he said, with true
British stolidity Hi never rents my
fish. You see, it's Saturday, too, sir.
HI must sell him today, sir"
However, | explained that needed
the fish for only a few hours, and di-
rectly We struck a bar ain. If after
two hours | still wished to keep the
| fish | should buy it. At the end of the
stipulated time the boy came. | was
not quite finished I'm few minutes, .
said, and when looked up he was
gone
Shortly afterward the proprietor
came. tiptoeing in and peeping over
| nv shoulder. | could hear him softly
signing, and l said nervously, I'm a
few minutes now, in few minutes"
Don't 'urry, sir; don't 'urry," he
urged. "Shes gettin' onl Hrll take
my chances. sirr'
| When the painting was finished he
refused at first to accept any remu-
neration, but at length, with a NUT
tered apology, he charged-a shilling!
The painting was hung and shortly
afterward purchased by the Corcoran
Art gallery for a very substantial
sum.
On my next trip to London l deter
mined to call up my tishmonger, tell
him of the good fortune that had at
tended the painting and tender him
some fitting reward. To my great sur
| prise he not only refused again any
sort of fee, but evinced no surprise
whatever at the figure the painting
had brought, though the price paid
represented several times over the in
vestment Of his shop.
"Ah, but it was a fine cod, sirr' be
said, and his eyes glowed with pride
Now, wasn't it%-William M. Chase
in Delineator.
