The WORK Of the Leaf.

What does it do? 1t pdmps water
from the ground through the thou
sands OF tubes III the stem of the tree,
and sends it into the atmosphere IN
the form of unseen mist, to be con-
densed and fall in showers, tho very
water that. were it not for the leaf,
would sink In the earth and find its
way, perchance, through subterra-
mean channels TO the sea. And thus
it is that we rco it works to give us
the early and the latter rain" 1t
works to send the rills and streams,
likes lines Of silver. down the noun
tain and across the plain. 1t works
to TOur down The larger brooks which
tnrn the wheels that energize the ma
chinery which gives employment to
millions, commerce stimulated,
wealth accumulated and Intelligence
disseminated through the agency of
this wealth. The leaf does all It
has been demonstrated that every
square inch of leaf lifts 3, 5000 Of an
ounce ever twenty -four hours. Now,
a large forest tree has about five
acres Of foliage, or, G,272 $40 square
inches. This being multiplied by

inch), as the rcsult-2,352 ounces

would yield about the same result.
The leaf is n worker, toe, in another
field of labor, where we seldom look
where it works for the good of
man IN u most wonderful manner.
1t carries immense quantities of
electricity from the earth to the
clouds, and from tho clouds to the
earth. Rather dangerous business

particularly fitted for this work
Did you ever sec leaf entire as to

these points, whether they be large
or small, are just fitted to handle

There must be no delay it is g tins

up more than the trunk can carry

One Case Where Farming Paid.

An Englishman, who came 10 tn s
country in 1855, ha S gone back to hIs
old home, and his story is thought
worthy Of being told in the London
agricultural Gazette. There is nothing
especially remarkable about it it is
simply one of many SEES where Il
competency has followed steady
work on Il farm. Briefly il is this ::
Charles Butcher, unable to read or
write accompanied by a grown
up son and daughter, arrived in
New York IN May, 1855. The father
and son found work in farms in
Monroe county, n. Y, at SIC per
month each-the d ,ughter finding
work IN n family, and not again mp
bearing III the story. They we're SO
poor that when harvest carle they
had not money enough to pay for
the mittens needed IS protection
against the thistles. They worked
on, a1cumulating between five and
six hurried dollars in three years.
They then bought farm of sixty
four acres, for fifty dbl ars an
acre, paying five hundred dollars
IN cash. The farm was m had
condition, subject to overflow, aud
good cultivation was gwen The
son married. II FIVE years tie farm
was paid for and family stocked.
After year or two better farm Of
ITO acres was purchased, at ninety
five dollars per acre. This Is paid
for, and the whole proper y is valued
ut something over $4,000. The
father at the age of fifty eight, has
sold his interest to the son for $I0,-
600, payable in twelve years, with
seven per cent. interest, and feels
himself entitled to tho rest al d
pleasure of n visit to his natl, Q
country and old friends.

Unhealthy Women.

The New York Standard tells us
that it has come to be "the fashion"
for women 10 be. or pretend to be,
invalids," as if physician ought
to be an Indispensable attendant TO
every well regulated establishment.
The editor fears it is soon to expect
an era of good sense to Iing in that
of perfect health, or to convince
women that it is criminal to enjoy
bad health. Noto,i ously, women
have placed their trust in their
physicians.
TO cutter one Of their houses de-
signed for patients is to fancy we
have entered Il fashionable boarding
house. We behold pale, haggard
women in the glory Of elegant
toilets, point lace and diamonds,
with al the make up necessary to
a public reception. When they &C
to drive for their health they leave
weaTied with the fatigucs of al
elaborate toilet. They are under
the doctors constant care, but they
still keep up in dress and manner
the ito of Il fashionable lady. Sucl
notwithstanding is q mockery and sin
although unconsciously performed
Somebody is to blame. Relief is bu
temporary SO long rs the cause Q
III health is not removed.
The worst Of it, women who brirG
their su1lerings on themselves canno
keep them ontheir own shoulders, al
even children of seven, eight, ant
nine years old are treated for gen
eral debility and weakness, and Otter
for deep-seated diseases. Lilly ha
her physician now as well a
mamma, The greatest danger i
that feeble health is becoming an ac
cepted fact with the present genera
ton, and that sound health Is re
gardcd as abnormal.
