WHAT THE LEAF DOEs.-It pumps wa
ter from the ground, through the thous-
ands of tubes in the stem of the tree, and
sends it into the atmosphere in the form of
unseen mist, TO be condensed and fall in
showers The very water that, were it not
for the leaf would sink in the earth and
find its way, perchance, through subterra-
mean channels 10 the sea. And thus ii is
that we see it works 10 give us the "early
and the latter rains" 1t works TO send the
rills and streams, like lines of silver, down
the mountain and across the plain. 1t
works to pour down the larger brooks,
which turns the wheels that energize the
machinery which gives employment 10
millions-commerce stimulated and wealth
accumulated, and Intelligence disseminat-
ed through the agency Of this wealth. The
leaf does it ALL 1t has been demonstrated
that every square inch of leaf lifts 0.035 of
an ounce every twenty-four hours. Now,
a large forest tree has about five acres of
foliage, or 6,272,65O square inches. This
being multiplied by 0.035 Uhe amount
pumped by every incl) gives us the result
-2252 ounces, or eight barrels.
The trees on an acre give 81 barrels in
twenty-four hours. An acre of grass, or
clover, or grain, would yield about the
same result. The leaf is worker, too, in
another field of labor, where we seldom
look-where it works for the good of man
in a most wonderful manner. 1t carries
immense quantities of electricity from the
clouds 10 the earth. Rather dangerous
business transporting lightning; but it is
particularly fitted for this work. Did you
ever see leaf entire as to its edges? 1t is
always pointed, and these points, whether
they be large or small, are just fitted to
handle this dangerous agent. These tiny
fingers seize upon and carry it away with
ease and wonderful dispatch. There must
be no delay; 1t is slime freight" True,
sometimes it gathers up more than the
trunk can carry, and in the attempt to
crowd and pack the baggage, the trunk gets
terribly shattered, and wo say that light

QUEER THINGs ABOUT B.sHsRs.

great many curious things happen to
babies, in this round world of ours. One
thing is planting them. This is done by
the da skinned women OF Guinea, and
isn't half SO dreadful as it sounds. The
mother digs hole in the ground, stands
the baby In 1t, and then packs the warm
sand around him to keep him in place, as
you would set out a rose-b bush. 1t keeps
him out OF mischief, and he can play in the
sand while his mother works. All day
long he stays in his old crib, and at night
when she is done with her work, he Is dug
out. When this agricultural mother wants
to carry baby about, she ties him into lit
tie chair. which she straps to her back. If
1t is some very grand occasion, he Is dress
ed neatly in stripes of white paint, and
ornamented with dozens OF brass bracelets
and rings on arms aud legs. A funny
looking baby he must bel II you don't
fancy crib Of sand for a baby, what do
you think OF big shoe, stuffed with moss

Laps, cradle their babies in that way. The
shoe is large, of course, and made Of rein
deer skin. II comes up high at the back,
Ilko tuc shippers We wear uoW-u-udys, anu

The moss with which it is stuffed is the
famous reindeer moss, soft and white and
the odd little black eyed baby looks very
comfortable hanging from the tree, or
slung across its mothers back. Perhaps
this baby who lives In shoe Is no more
comical than the baby who lives In fur
bag, another sober little black eyed baby,
away Off in the shivery Esquimaux huts.
Besides being cuddled up in a fur-bag at
his mothers back, this round faced little
fell ow wears fur-hood, and looks like
some strange kind OF animal peeping out
in the world. You may have seen the In
