How 10 Preserve Autumn Leaves.

The leaves Of Autumn are beginning
to assume the most beautiful tints-
crimson, russet, orange gold and varie-

presents itself, which is the best method
of preserving them? OF late years the
preparing aud shipping of rare speci-

to Europe, in boxes, has assumed the
form Of trade, to considerable
extent, and the fancy shops in the
large cities are each fall supplied with
the finest varieties that can be found.
The process of preservation is simple:
a thick blotting pad, some sheets of
drawing paper, a camels hair brush
and some amber varnish are all tho

blotting pad so as 10 extract the mois.
