the formation of numerous sprouts
The lower branches are removed. and
only a plume Of leaves Is left.
Early in the spring the sprouts are
subjected to a surgical operation
Their bark Is cut, and the wood Is
carved in different designs, which are
swollen By the sap and grow IN higf
relief rs the tree develops Special In
struments are used for the cutting ant

grow for three years.
At the end of the third year the Tor

cuts are dried In the sun and then Civ

A e..b,on That Failed.

Charles II. attempted to put down
the mutability of fashion-in mascu'
line costume. On Oct. 9, 1856, as
Pepys records, the king declared In
council "his resolution OF setting u
fashion in clothes, which he will never
alter. It will be vest. 1 know moi
lust how, but it is to teach the nobility
thrift and will do good" Six days
later Pepys sees the Duke Of York try
on the new "vest," which Is again de-
clared to be like the laws OF the Medes
and persians. It was "a long cassocR
close to the body, Of black cloth ano
pinked with white silk under 1t, ana
coat over it, and the legs ruftled witt
black ribbon like a pigeons leg" bu'
Louis XIV. maliciously dressed all his
footmen In this costume, and so die
French noblemen, with the result thai
the English court very soon discarded
the "unalterahle" costume.
