sinaina Kettles.

The japanese manufacture in a
great variety Of forms IRON teaket-
ties which break into song when
the water boils. The song may not
be perfect melody, but it is per
haps as agreeable as the notes pro
duced BY some of the insects that
the japanese also treasure for their
music. The harmonious sounds Of
the teakettles are produced bv
steam bubbles escaping from be-
meath thin sheets OF iron fastened
closely together nearly at the bot
tom. To get the best effects some
skill is required in regulating the
fire. The character Of the sounds
varies with the form Of the kettle.

LOVE TRAGEDIES.
A Series Of Unfortunate engagements
and Queer Condolences.

= oeriea o. OnIortunate engagements
and Queer Condolences.
No less than eight times was
Fraulein Marie Doring, a Yiennese
beauty, engaged to be married, and,
although her lovers escaped with
life, some accident or misfortune
rendered each ineligible in the eyes
Of the capricious fair one, who did
not hesitate promptly to elect a
successor, in turn as promptly dis
carded when misfortune overlook
him. Her first fauce was utterly
ruined at cards, her second lost his
hand through a gun explosion, her
third lost his money in business
speculation, her fourth had his good
looks irrevocably marred by the
kick of a horse, her fifth suffered
imprisonment for forgery, her sixth
was stricken down with paralysis.
her seventh had his leg amputated,
while her eighth escaped all mis-
hap and eventually led her to the
altar.
Another series OF strange coin
cidences attended the lovers Of
Jeanne Leroy, native of Mar
settles. Her first fance was found
drowned, her second was killed in a
tavern brawl, her third vanished, as
it were, into space, and her fourth
was found lying dead in circum-
stances that pointed to foul play.
Her fifth, too, whom she married,
almost lost his life at the hands of
a Spaniard, who, however, received
such injuries during the struggle
that bis death occurred few days
later. Although the Spaniard made
no confession. the fact Of his hav-
ing for years cherished fierce
though hopeless passion for the
girl, on whose lover be made such
q
a dastardlv attack. seemed to sug-
gest to many people that the death
Of one or more of the other suitors
might be placed to his account.
There is no explanation of the
fate that overlook the aspirants to
the hand of another young lady,
the daughter of Partisan jeweler.
Although seemingly possessed Of
every quality to make man happy,
no sooner had she accepted the offer
of some ardent sutton than on the
latter fell disaster Of his own seek
ing. Thrice was she engaged, and
each engagement ended with the
suicide Of her lover in foreign
land, whittier apparently he had
fed in vain attempt TO break free
once moro and for all from the
bonds that held him.-London Tel

FOUGHT Under an Umbrella.


Sainte-Beuve was scarcely more
famous for his writings than for his
appearance on certain occasion on
the field Of honor. The cause Of
the rupture was ridiculous, and the
quarrel had been forced upon him
by the other party with murderous
intent. On the morning Of the
meeting it rained heavily, but the
gloom which overcast everything
was in measure turned to mirth
BY Saintc-Beuve taking his place
armed with a pistol of the period Of
Francis l. and large umbrella,
which he proceeded to raise and
hold over himself. The seconds

JAPANESE GARDENING.
Tho Process of owarsns Pinss ooo4-
pies Ten Years.

The Process of owarHns Pinss oeea-
pies Ten Ysars.
The japanese gardener usually
plans his gardens SO that the best
vista is obtained from the guest
room of the house or the arbors
where it is likely to be most appre-
ciated. If there are hills or noun
tains in the background the garden
Is SO designed that the hills are part
Of it, brought into immediate rela-
ton with it.
If there is no desirable outside
scenery the garden Is made in such
. way as to give the impression Of
being in a small amphitheater or
the heart Of a forest. To them gar
dening is not arithmetic, but an
> art. Hills, dales, rivulets, water
falls, bridges, ETC., vie in presenting
their quaintest forms and fancies
and harmonious symmetries.
Dwarfed plants of all descrip-
> tons deck the scene here and there
IN thousands of peculiarly artistic
shapes.
The art of dwarfng plants is lit
tie known in other lands. The sue
cessful japanese nurseryman must
not only be a good grower, but he
must also be an artist conversant
with the general arts and customs
of his country, which differ very
materially from those of other
countries.
The pines may be considered the
most important of all trees in ia
pan, and great care is taken of
their cultivation and preservation.
They are generally grown from
seed, and great care is taken to Sc
lect the choicest qualities. In the
spring Of the second year, when the
seedlings are about eight inches in
height, they are staked with BAN
boo canes and tied with rice straw,
the plants being bent in different
desirable shapes.
The next autumn they are trans
planted to richer soil and well
fortified. In the following spring
the plants are restaked and twisted
and tied in fanciful forms. This
mode of treatment Is given until
the seventh year, when the trees
viii have assumed fairly large pro-
portions, the branches being train
ed in graceful forms and the foliage
!, like small clouds of dense green.
The plants are now taken up and
potted. Every succeeding year
great care must be taken of new
shoots, which must be kept pinched
back. After another three years OF
this treatment the trees are virtual
ly dwarfed, there being no visible
growth after.
There is also great demand for
curiosities in mixed grated conifers
that is, sir or seven kinds of
conifers on one plant. Naples form
one of the best materials for the
artistic fancies of the japanese
craftsman. Often a great many DIFF
ferent varieties Of naples are graft
ed on one stem. Seeding naples
are spliced together when growing.
After they have formed a union
the desired shoot is cut off. This is
kept up until ten OF twenty varie-
ties are obtained.-Bondou Queen.
