walking Leave. of Australia.

Almost everybody has heard of the
walking leaves OF Australia. For a
long time after the discovery Of that
island many people really believed that
the leaves of certain tree which -four
ished there could walk about the ground.
The story arose in this way ., ~
Some English sailors landed upon, the
coast one day after roaming about till
they were, tired, they sat down under
tree to rest themselves. A puff Of wind
came along, and blew off a shower Of
leaves, which, after turning over and
over In the air, as leaves generally do,
finally rested upon the ground. As it
was midsummer and everything ap-
peared quite green, the circumstance
puzzled the sailors considerably. But
the surprise was much greater, as you
may well suppose, when, after short
time, they saw the leaves crawling
along on the ground toward the trunk
a the tree. They ran at once for their
weasel, without stopping to examine
into - matter at all, and set sail away
from the land where every thing seemed
to be bewitched. q One Of the men said
that he "expected every moment to see
the trees set TO and dance jig" Sub
sequent explorations Of Australia have
taught us that these walking leaves are
insects. They live upon the trees.
Their bodies are very thin and fat, their
wings forming large leaf-like organs.
When they are disturbed, their legs are
folded away under their bodies, leaving
the shape exactly like leaf with its
stem and all complete. They are of
bright green color in the summer, but
they gradually change in the fall, with
the leaves, to the brown of frost-bitten
vegetation. When shaken from the
trees, they lie for a few minutes upon
the ground, as though they were dead,
but presently they begin to crawl along
toward the tree, which they ascend
again. They rarely use their wings,
although they are wen supplied in this
respeet. G2tlDr. 1145flj .sN1I d /

The Amusementu Of the Rich. ~,


True amusement is Of two kinds, viz:
active and passive. The active and
weary man and woman-those who ex-
haust every day their vital energies in

gagged daily in severe intellectual tasks,
says that nothing rests her like seeing
other people work. For this she goes
To the theatre, and the play upon her
emotions there rests and recreates her.
Indeed, 1t is the emotional side of the
nature, and not the active, which fur
nishes play to those who are weary

this way. A reporter telegraphed over
the police wires to the editor of Brook
lyn paper that he was at the lunatic
asylum, where he had gone on busi-
ness, and could not get back in time
for the afternoon edition. The sergeant
told a policeman to step around to the
newspaper office and inform the editor
that Koselowski [the reporter) was at
the lunatic asylum. The policeman
misunderstood the message, and re-
ported to the editor that Cardinal Mo
Closkey was insane, and had been re-
moved to the lunatic asylum. 1t is not
too much to expect'tha just such mis-
takes would constantly occur were the

lacks Il low, sweet voice she can never
be really fascinating. How often you
are irresistibly drawn to plain unassu-

render her positively attractive. Be

SO many of what are called the hard drink

SO many of what are called the hard drink
ers of society. We see in ali these the ex-
ternal sign of that diminished resistance in
the blood vessels to the entrance of blood
which alcohol induces in differnt degrees.
Those who laugh at abstainers for being
pale would be warranted in laughing if it
were the fact that the red face they so much
admire was a face Indicative of health, and
the pale face indicative of disease. Unfor-
tunately for their side of the case, that suf-,
fused face, that jolly red face, that dark red
face is the face of disease, while the pale
face is the face as Nature meant it to be.
Unfortunately, also, for the laughers, is the
fact that the. red face is not simply skin
deep, and confined to the face. The same
redness extends to other and more vital sur
faces. The surface of the brain and of the
other more vital organs are congested in like
manner, according to the degree of injury
that has been inflicted on the blood vessels
by the paralyzing drug that is accredited
with SO much usefulness.
There is an immense population living
from day to day in this semi -paralyzed con-
dition of the circulation. They are already,
in the midst Of their laughter, half wrecked.
They are easily overbalanced by slight caus-
es, and they almost inevitably fall prema-
turely into death,i if they, do not succumb
Immediately. Sometimes they get organic
kidney or liver disease, or consumption of
the lungs. Physically, the condition of the
whole of the members of this great popula-'
tion is;very bad. They are the last that
should make fun of the pale faces. !
