Strictly Conscientious.

At a matinee performance a stout woman appeared at the en- trance, leading two boys, aged ' and 9, and presented one ticket.
 'You will have to buy tickets for those boys," insisted the manager.
 No, I won't" she protested. "They always go to sleep as soon as they get inside. Why should I pay for. them if they don't see the show?" K sa ,.s :,
 The manager stheught of the days when his motffer took him to the matinees,> and as the ar gument was one that he could not get arou1ldy' he paswed them in. After the first act an usher came to the ManageG..and handed him a quarter. E
 What's this fur?" he asked.
 "The fat lady told me to tell you one of the kids woke up.''

Maddeninq.

A gentleman was attending a lec- ture one evening when he saw, two seats ahead of him, man whom he took to be an acquaintance. Hav- ing no other way to attract his at- tention, he asked stranger sitting next to him to poke the supposed acquaintance with his umbrella. As the disturbed man turned his head the gentleman discovered that he was not the person he had suppos- ed, so he fastened his gaze atten- lively on the lecturer, leaving the man with the umbrella to settle with the man he had disturbed, an embarrassing and difficult task. At last the man with the umbrella turned rather indignantly to the gentleman.
 "Didn't you ask me to poke that gentleman with my umbrella? ?"
 "Yes."
 "And why did you ask me?"
 1 wanted to see whether you would do itY' was the reply.

When Lost In the Woods.

It is well known fact that we walk naturally in curve. If you are in the woods with nothing to guide you, you will walk in circle and not find your way out. If you are on the plains and have neither sun nor stars nor compass for guides you will do the same thing walk i'll a circle and arrive nowhere. In the woods, however, a clever de- vice to be resorted to is this: Select three trees in a straight line and walk toward them. When you reach the first one there are still two ahead which keeps the line straight for you. Select a third tree in line with the other two and walk to- ward them. Always keep the line of three trees ahead and you will never walk in circle. - Chicago Tribune.

 "A certain Mrs. Blank was under discussion. T see that she employs colored help now,' remarked one of the ladies.
 "'Yes,' said another, she became tired of having people ask her if her maids were relatives of the fam ily."-Detroit Free Press.

MAKING 1 DWARF TREE.
N Is Done by Root Pruning and Just
 kSspina the Plant Alive.

it Is Done by Boot Pruning and Just keepins tho Plant Alive. How gardeners manage to grow miniature pines, frs and oaks in flower pots for half century has always been more or less of a se- cret. It is the result chiefly of skill full, long continued root pruning. They aim first and last at the seat of vigorous growth, endcavor- ing to weaken it just as far as pos sible without destroying the life of the tree.
 They begin with the young plant, say a seeding of a cedar or hem lock, when only two or three inches high and cut off it's tap roots as soon as it has other rootlets enough to live upon and replant it in a shallow earthern pot or pan.
 The end of the tap root is gen. erally made to rest on the bottom of the pan or on flat stone within it. Alluvial clay is then put into the pot, much of it in bits the size of beans and just enough in kind and quantity to furnish a scanty nourishment to the plant.
 Just enough of water, light and heat is given to keep it alive, but not enough to excite a vigorous habit.
 Thus by using very shallow pots the development of the tap roots is impossible, and by using poor soil and little of it and little water rapid growth is prevented.
 Then, too, the top and side roots, which are within easy reach of the gardener, are shortened by means of pruning knife or are scared with hot iron. In this manner the little tree is headed off on every side and is allowed to grow just enough to live and look healthy. Accordingly, each new set of leaves becomes more and more stunted, the buds and rootlets are diminished in proportion, and at length a balance is diminished be- tween every part of the tree, mak- ing it dwarf in all respects.-Sci- entiic American.
