The Coloring Of Autumn Leaves

The colored matter OF leaves has been
recently reinvestisated Ivy NJ. Frenzy,
and his results shed some light on the
cause of the coloration of Autumn leaves,
although further study is still necessary
to account for the manifold brilliant
tlnts to be found in American Autumn
foliage, M. Fremy's previous studies on
Chlorophyl tended to prove that it was
not simple coloring matter, but com
posed of two different substances-a
yellow which he named Phylloxanthin
and blush green named Phyllocyanlc
acid. His more recent investigations
have had for their object to ascertain IL
what conditions these constituents Of
chlorophyl exist in the organic tissue,
whether mixed or combined, suspended
in the liquor united with the cellular
tissue. BY means of experiments, he
finds that they exist in the leaves As a
mere mixture 1t yet remained 70 AS
certain whether the phyllocyanic acid ex-
listed in free state, or combined with a
base. or united with the cellular tissues
by a sort of capillary affinity Analy-
sis showed the presence of notable
quantity of potassa. The green matter
of leaves, then, can be considered as a
phyllocyanate ofpotassa mixed with phyl-
loxanthin.
1T has long been known, says NJ.
Frenzy, shat leaves in Autumn lose their
green appearance, changing TO yellow,
and also give off large portion Of their
|alkai. Now we know that this process
depends upon the decomposition OF the
'rhvllocvanate Of potassa

What a Woman Can Do.

As wife and mother, woman can
make the fortune and happiness of her
husband and children, and, if she did
nothing else, surely this would be suffi-
cient destiny. BY her thrift, prudence
and tact she can secure to her partner
and to herself competency in old age,
no matter how small a beginning
or how adverse fate may be
theirs. BY her cheerfulness she
can restore her husbands spirit
shaken by the anxiety of business. BY
her tender care she can often restore him
to health if disease has overtasked his
powers. BY her counsel and love she
can win him from bad company if temp
tation in an evil hour has led him astray.
BY her examples, her precepts, and her
sex's insight into character she can mold
her children, however adverse their dis
positions, into noble men and women.
And, by leading jim all things true and
beautiful life, she can refine, elevate and
spiritualize all who come within reach !;
so that, with others of her sex emulating
and assisting her, she can do more to re-
generate the world than all the states
men or reformers that ever legislated.
She can do much, alas perhaps more, to
degrade man if she chooses to do it.
Who can estimate the evils that woman
has the power to do AS wife she
can rum herself by extravaganza, folly
or want of affection. She can make a
demon or an outcast of man who might
otherwise become good member of So
ciety. She can bring chickering's, strife
and discord into what has been happy
home. She can change the innocent
babes into vile men and even into vile
! women. She can lower the moral tone
of society itself, and thus pollute legisla::
ton at the spring head. She can, in
fine, become an instrument of evil in
stead of an angel of good. Instead of
making flowers of truth, purity, beauty
and spirituality spring up in her foot
steps, till the earth smiles with 6. lowell
ness that is almost celestial, she can
transform it into a black and arid desert,
covered with the scorn of all evil passions

The Red Man Must Leave.

In Colorado there are numerous bands
of the Ute Indians who have treaty
stipulations with the Government, and
under these treaties their right is guaran-
teed to different reservations, aggregat-
ing some fourteen million acres The
rapid increase of population in that
former Territory brought the pale faces
into hostile juxtaposition with the red
tribes, and the old experience was re-
peated. Indians are predatory in their
habits, but when they put their skill in
stealing against that of their white
brother they got worsted every time. 1t
was so in Kansas, it was so in Nebraska,
and such has been the experience in
every State where the Indians have been
crowded out, Collisions occur; the set
tiers have newspapers to justify their
violence, the Indians have no way to
make their side of the case known, and
thus the weight of evidence is always
against them. The devil is said not to
as black as he is painted. In Kansas
the settlers swarmed upon the Usage
lands, killing the game, lassooing the
Indians ponies, appropriating theirstores
and converting into farms their best
lands.
Substantially the same aggression has
been practiced upon the Utes in Colo
RADIO. Long elected treaty obligations,
unfulldlled Government pledges and con-
tinual encroachments upon their reser-
vations. Appeals have been made to
Washington Eor redress, the justice o.
their claims would be recognized by the
Administration and promises, perhaps
made them; but Congress would refuse
to sanction any outlay on Indians behalf,
and unfullflled pledges would impress
them with belief in the white mans
perfdy. The unsophisticated red man
cannot understand the circumlocution of
official proceedings. In making a bargain
the tribe will vote on making arrange
ments Of their head chief, and deter
mination is arrived at on the spot. But
the party they deal with cannot act so
summarily. The agent will hear their
conditions, report to the indian Com
missioner, this official lays the matter
before the Secretary Of tina Interior, and
it finally goes to Congress. This body
will give no heed to it for two or three
years perhaps, and ultimately refuse to
ratify it, The agent is held responsible,
and when the forbearance of the tribe
gives out upon him is visited the first
outbreak of their wrath.
We can really believe that the Utes
of White River agency have been I'M
justly dealt with, and the presens socri-
flee of life is their rude way righting
wrongs. But when differences between
the two races ale carried to this extent,
there is no resort but to crush The in
surgents with a strong hand.

tiers how things went on, as he believed
England had no future" He thought
England had been going down and down
since 1915. If l were to Judge by the
poor house returns and prison rolls, l
should say so too. The wag' and wit
Sydney Smith said that, owing to the
interference of the benevolent Howard
in regard to prison reform, 'incarcera-
ton had become not only healthy but
elegant, and a county Jail is precisely
the place to which any pauper might
wish to retire to crafty his taste for
magnifcence as well as comfort" 1t
would seem that this is seriously thought
just now. We, in America should
study the lesson of England as she is,
has been, and may yet be, from the ma
.terial and moral point of view.-From

Population of Germany.

From recently published work com
piled in the German Statistical Office, it
appears that in 1916 the population of
all the territory which now forms the
German Empire amounted to 24,S3l,-
1876 souls. According to the last census
there were 1921 $3.50 inhabitants in
the same districts; so that the popula-
ton has increased at an average annual
rate of 90 per cent. From 1916 to
1884 the average yearly increase was
l.lG per cent; from 1884 to 1852, 0.Ss;
from 1852 to 1867, 075; and from 1867
to 1875. 0.S5 per cent. In the several
larger States comprised in the Empire
the increase of the population of the ter
ritory of which they now consist has
been as follows: Prussia in 1916 had
1906, 97S, and in 1875, 25,7 AZ, 4O4 in
habitants, giving an average annual in
crease of .03 per cent. Bavaria had in
1916, 1907 ,036, and in 1875, 5,022, 800
inhabitants, the average yearly increase
having therefore been 0.5j per cent. /;
Saxony had in 1916, l,l94,0l0, and in
1875, 2,769,5S6 inhabitants, the popu.
lation having constantly increased at an
average annual rate of LAB per cent
Wurtemberg had in 1916 ,4l0,6s4,and
in 1875, 1851 800 inhabitants, giving
an average yearly increase of 0.4S per
cent; Baden had in 1916, 1905, 500,
and in 1875, ,507,l7 inhabitants, the
average annual increase having therefore
been 0.66 per cent; while the lately an
nexed provinces Of Alsace and Lorraine
had in 1916, l,2s0,664, and in 1875,
1881 ,s0i inhabitants, the average
yearly increase of the population having
consequently only been 0.29 per cent.

The Queen and the Herd Laddie

One day some years ago, when Her
Majesty was standing on the public
road near Balmoral, sketching the
castle from particular point, flock OF
sheep approached. Her Majesty being
intent on her work took little notice Of
the flock, and merely moved little
nearer the side of the road. A boy in
charge of the sheep shouted at the top of
a stentorian voice:
"Stan DOT O the road, oman, and lat
the sheep gae by -
Her Majesty not moving out OF the
way quite so fast as the shepherd wished,
he again shouted 4
"Fat are We stan'in there for Gang
DOT o that, and lat the sheep pass.
One of her Majesty's attendants who
had been at distance, on hearing his
royal mistress thus rudely assai.ed, went
up to the shepherd and thus addressed
him:
"Do YOU know who it is you have
been speaking so rudely to, boy p
"No-I neither ken nor care; but, be

The boy looked astonished, and after
recovering his eenscs, said, with great
simplicity;
