' ?t? Again ho took u piece fit wood, the stock of uu ordinary wild briar, and on It ho produced a score of varieties of roses, making a multi-colored bush with rosea I urge and small, red, white, | crimson, salmon, yellow, pink, cream and every shade between, all on the same hush. Something akin to growing square trees has been practiced for centuries and 'What may be termed plant mon strosities are by no means uncommon. Most of uk would recognize the white bryony < Bryonia dlolca). so common in our hedgerows. The roots of this plant. Which often grow to a colossal size. have been grown to shape, as It were. Perhaps one of the most extraordi nary experiments In the plant world hils Just been successfully tried with the potato plant. The potato belongs to the same family as the tomato, and included in the same family are the tobacco plant, the mandrake and the deadly nightshade, among others. Advantage was taken of the Vehi tlonshlp of the potato to the tomato actually to grow ? crop of potatoes on ' the roots of a potato plant and a crop of tomatoes in the tlaums (stalks and foliage) of the same plants. To see a crop of tomatoes among (lie foli age of n potatrt plant, while potatoes arc growing on the roots of the same plant, is a slylit more wonderful sure ly than square trees. Within a few miles of London Is a wall surrounding a churchyard. The wall is covered with Ivy. and in one of' the bricks Is a square hole, Many years' ago a sprig of the ivy climbed through the hole and gradual ly. the hole became filled up with the wood of the Ivy. and it became al> solutely square, assuming its normal shape on the outer side of the square bole. If h sapling wns surrounded by a plaster cif parts or metaT'tnold whi c b was square there is no reason why the wood of flu* tree so Inclosed should not become square ? In fact, the won <U>r would be if It remained circular. Any one with a garden may produce plant curiosities which will be Inter esting to all who see them. Arrange a saucer containing sweetened water under and close up to a young, healthy gooseberry bush, and so placed that the dead corllla or the flower (the tip at the end of the berry opposite the stalk) Just touches the water. The young gooseberry drinks the water greedily, and If it Is renewed as it is absorbed by the berry the gooseberry so treated assumes enormous propor tions and specimens a's large as good sized hen's eggs tuny be produced. Vapor Bath in Each Hcuse. A vapor hath separate from the main building Is a part of every house In Irkutsk. Stones are piled and heated in a tire and water Is poured over them so that when the door i.< closed the steam fills the bathroom. The bathers, sitting on benches, steam their naked bodies both to cleanse themselves I and relieve fatigue. They use a brush i made of small cherry branches with leaves to strike themselves with for ' ! cleansing, and pour cold wafer from a j -small pail on their faces when the i j beat Is too great. There is hot and \ j eold water, as In a Japanese bath. !
