Lilliputinn Pine Tree.
()ne of 1110 most remarkable fen-turns
of .lapunusc gardening is the way in
which every plant and tree in :1 fu-
mous garden will be produced in min-
iature by :1 system of 'dwarfiug which
has been handed down from many
generations back. Every characteris-
tic of :1 large tree will be preserved,
the foliage, the color, and the texture
of the branches, and yet the minia-
ture copy will often be not more than
from one to three feet high. Profes-
sor C. E. Bessey tells of a case in this
country in which nature 11:18 eclipsed
the art of the Japanese. While climb-
ing Green mountains, near Bowldcr,
0010., Professor Bessey found grow-
lng from :1 crevice In one of the rocks
at the summit a small pine true,
about five and three-quarter inches
high, and barely :1 quarter of an inch
in diameter. It was unlbranchcd and
bore :1 single terminal tuft of leaves.
The tiny tree had made a good fight
for existence amid the inclemencics of
its exposed situation, for when it was
carefully examined, twenty-five dis-
tinct animal rings were discovered.

OUR CURIOUS ANATOMY.
“'0 are All Partly Blind and Insensihlc
_ to Pain.
It will probably be :1 shock 10 many
readers 10 loam 111:1t, without any ex-
v'cption. they are all partly blind and
1113011511110 to pain.
It 11:15 been clearly demonstrated by
exhaustive experiments that every hu-
man eye is blind in one particular
part. varying in locality and $17.1: with
the individual. This can be casily
proved by irncing a hundred curved
and parallel lines on :1 large sheet of
paper. and passing up and down each
meridian in 1 urn a disc of black paper
one inch in diameter, until the whole
area of the slheet of, paper has been
covered. In following the movements
of 0119 disc It will be found that :11' :1
certain part of its progress it cannot
be seen at all; and this is when lbw.
“blind Spot” in the eye is focused on
it.
This “blind spot, which is irregular
in shape, is caused by the optic ncrve
which enters the retina, and thus 01)-
scures part of the picture photograph-
ed (as it were) upon it. The eatin-
sccnc looked upon is clearly depiclcel'
with the exception of the part which
should appear on' the point of the ro-
tina covered by the optic nerve at its
point of entry.
Similarly, scientific experiment
proves tlift there are thousands of mi-
nute parts of the body which are in-
capable of feeling. You may touch
11mm with :1 hot needle. or even, 10'
push the cxpcrimcnt further. you may
thrust, the needle deeply into the purl
without any pain being felt. All parts
of the body share this peculiar insrnsi-
bility to pain; but the unfortunulc
thing is that those "dead points" are
so mixed up with parts that arc
keenly alive, that, unless the point 01‘
contact is confined to, the dead poinr,
, the pain, is all too manifest.

BEAVER-TRIMMED WALKING COSTUME FROM HARPER'S BAZARA Ms. .‘
ther defined by narrow soutache bra. id.
The high collar is cut. with the coat. and
seamed to fit gracefully about the neck.
Its edges are stayed. by a. firm wire
which sustains the‘ shape, and the
collar and revers are lined with beaver.
The sleeves are of the plain 00:11. sleeve
variety, gathered, not boxed at the
shoulders, and flaring slightly at the
wrist. They are ornamented by stitch-
ed bands of velvet. To obtain the
proper cut of this gown it will be
necessary to use the cut patterns pub-
lished by HARPER’S 1112.111 where the
gown appears.
To make this garment 8 yards of
cloth, 54 inches wide, will be required.
and 11', 1911111 trim ming‘ like that shown
in the illustration be used, one will re-
quire 11} yards ol's.1t1n antique. Should
the maker desire to face the rovers and

New traveling wraps for lengthy
journeys are military cloaks, quite as
long as an ulster, to be worn with or
without a. cape. The fronts are semi-
loose, and the backs fitted and some-
times belted. Many of these wraps
are made of army—blue cloth, and the
fronts are fastened with medium-sized
gilt buttons. The deep ca‘pe is fast-
ened by and trimmed with stitched
straps of the cloth and is alone a. sufli-
cieut wrap for many occasions. Check-
ed and striped cloths, lightly and
roughly woven, and others of dark
color and finer grain, said to be abso-
lutely waterproof, are made in redln-
gote style, much after the fashion of
