PAHSYS SECRET.

Pansy had secret, and nobody could
find it out. She would come down stairs
in the morning, and seat herself at the
breakfast table, and then papa would say,
Well, Pansy, are You going to tell us
your secret to-day ?"
Pansy would shake her head, and re-
ply, "You must guess it, papa p Can
you not guess it %
Well, L guess you have new tooth
coming"
"Oh, no, that is not it. Mother can
guess better than that, L think. 1t con-
Germs you, mother"
"Well, guess, said mother, that
you are to have the present of kitten
from aunt Julia.
"And 1 guess" said brother John,
who was five years older than Pansy,
CT guess you are knitting a pair OF cuffs
for papa.
"You are all wrong" cried Pansy,
"and / shall not tell you my secret to-
lay"
The next morning, as she was coming
Town stairs, she paused, and said to her
self, "Shall tell them my secret now?
No, Pansy, let them see that you can
keep secret"
No sooner was she seated at the table
in her high chair, than papa said, "Well,
Pansy, how much longer are you going
to keep us in the dark ? Are you going
to tell us your secret ?"
mot yet, papa" said Pansy, looking
up with a roguish smile.
What can it be ?" said mother, lay
ing down her knife and fork, and putting
her hand to her head.

account" cried brother John. "She
wants to keep rs curious"
Well, think Pansy must be learn

mother.
"That's not it, said Pansy. ITS a

to hear"
"Oh, it's important is it ?" said papa.

Mother, what day was it that you

rather than have lost it.
Here Pansy turned red in the face, got
down from her high chair, and ran out
of the room.
did you see that?' said papa. "The
little rogue has found the ring, and that &
her 'portant secret.
In minute Pansy came back, holding
the ring, and her face radiant with de-
light. 50 I found it, mother, among my
dolls things. You must have dropped
it there when you were fixing them"
And SO little Pansy's secret was out at
last.-DOrd Burnside.

Playing the chinaman.

Franz is a little boy about four years
old, who lives in Brooklyn, California.

of cloth, fill his mouth with water, turn
his head from side to side, letting the
water squirt from the corners of his
mouth upon them Gas he has seen the

Sometimes the clothes are not wet
enough, and the sprinkling goes on with
the ironing.
"Your clothes will smell of tobacco
and opium, if you sprinkle them so
much" says Franz's elder brother.
"No, they WON'T" says the little wash
man. Me do them good; me do them
cheap"
When he gets tired of this, he puts
his wash into piece of paper, and takes
the bundle to mamma. "L hope the
clothes are not too blue, john" says
mamma.
"No," answers Foo Lee. "They done
good this time"

Sanitary Use OF Trees.

It is generally known that trees and
shrubbery take the carbonic acid thrown
out in the breath of men and animals
separate it into its component parts
carbon of oxygen-give back the latter
to be used over again, and work up the
former into wood and fruit. 1t is also
coming to be generally understood that
forest trees do important service in
prompting rainfalls, and in helping to
retain the surface water for springs,
streams and general use. 1t is also
known that certain species, planted in
malarial localities, help to render the
latter healthy by somehow using up the
deadly miasma. 1t would not appear
that trees growing near drains carry off
the sewerage wator. A gentleman whose
cess-drain WAS constructed just like his
neighbors', and in the same kind of soil,
has found it unnecessary to clean it out,
while the others had TO be cleaned ont
frequently. An examination showed
that three large trees, whose roots had
penetrated into the vicinity of his second,
or waste, cess-pool, We're clearly the
channels through which the waste all
escaped. Whether il was changed into
plant-food, as is likely, or was exhaled
through the leaves, in either case it was
disposed of with equal safety.

Dead Leaves and Their Uses.

We very naturally admire growing
leaves, and cannot help a feeling of sad
ness when they wither and fall. A cas-
ual look at the fallen leaves gives us the
idea that their work is done, and that
therefore He who has wonderfully
created them permitted them to decay.
But those who give more than passing
look find that, though their ornamental
life is over, their useful life is but be-
ginning. You pause perhaps, and for
moment wonder how dead leaves are
utilized but so many varities are used
that it would be impossible to name them
all, so we will only refer to the most
common OF these it is only fair to
state that many of them are not allowed
to wither on the tree, the reason being
to preserve a larger amount OF the es-
sence of the leaf. For example, the
leaves of the tea plant are allowed to
grow TO certain stage, and are then
gathered and dried quickly in the sun.
Ofcourse, every one knows that the death
of n leaf is usually caused by the drying
up of the sap, on which it depends for
nourishment SO that by forcing the
leaves to de more quickly than they
sence OF the leaf is retained. And so
dead ten leaves are of use to provide DIR.
Johnson's favor1te beverage, tea" OF
course, there are many different kinds of
tea, but they are not under our consid-
Grafton; sufficient is it if you consider
that that most common of all commodi-
ties is simply dead leaves.
Next, let us take tobacco, as being an
article in common use. This plant is
native of America, and is supposed to
have been first brought to England by
Sir Walter Raleigh, who taught his coun-
trymen to smoke it. The leaves only
are used, and great care is taken in its
cultivation to bring these to perfection,
and the drying and preparing for use is a
long and difficult process /; but no one
looking at cigar or the usual tobacco
can for moment doubt its being any
thing but dead leaves.
1t would be n long and difficult task to
name all the dead leaves which are used
by herbalists and doctors but many OF
the more simple kinds of the class of
leaves known as herbs are of great use IL
cookery, such as thyme, mint, sage.
etc.
Having mentioned these individual
leaves, you will probably say these are
very few; not a hundredth part of the
leaves there are, and granting them to
be hundredth part, what becomes Of
the ninety-nine kinds left? Many leaves
are allowed to drop off the trees and
decay to certain extent, and are ther
used for manure TO enrich the ground,
that 1T may bring forth more leaves,
which all in their turn will also decay.
Then, again, it is an acknowledged fact
that the decayed vegetation of centuries
jim fact, whole forests which have
died aud been replaced-go to form u
large proportion of our coal.

81 trust that black will not always
remain IN emblem of mourning in this
country" said dealer in mourning
goods, who is a scholar as well Us mer-
chant cit is not suitable emblem,
but it implies an absence of light and a
want of life which we certainly do not
wish to convey as our conception of the
state our of departed friends. Mourning
is supposed to be the outward visible
sign of inward grief. The notion of a
change, however, would not readily be
received, for when one has to put on the
habiliments of woe grief is too strong to
be overcome by fashion"
"What other colors are used In
mourning?"
sin Italy women grieve in white gar
ments and men in brown. In China
white is worn by both sexes. In Tur-
key, Syria, Cappadocia and Armenia,
celestial blue is the tint chosen in
Egypt yellowish brown, the hue of the
dead leaf, is deemed proper, and in
Ethiopia, where men are black, gray is
the emblem of mourning. All of these
colors are symbols. White symbolizes
purity, an attribute of our dead the

happy souls are at peace; the yellow, or
dead leaf, tells that death is the end Of
all human hope, and that man falls as
the autumn leaf and gray whispers Of
the grave to which all return. The
Lycians considered mourning for the
dead an effeminate practice, and so
when they grieved they put on women's
clothes as symbol of weakness and as
shame to them for a lack of manli-
ness. The Thracians made feast when
one of their loved ones died, and every
method of JOY and delight were en-
ployed. This meant that the dead had
passed from state of misery into one
of never-ending felicity. Black was in
troduced as mourning by the Queen of
Charles VIII. Before that the French
Queens wore white mourning, and were
known as the White Queens. "-Ne,0

THERE are 800 educated female physi-
clans in active practice i'll twenty-six
States of our Union-the majority in
Massachusetts, New York, and Pennsyl-
vania. The figures above given show a
marvellous growth. Persons not very
far advanced in years can remember
when there were no women claiming to
practice medicine who were worthy Of
public confidence. The change that has
already taken place Is probably only
the beginning of new era. In few
years the number of women who are
creditable doctors will be SO great that
their sex will cease TO be matter of
comment.

A Vale Never Reached by Summer Heat.
From the Tcrre Haute Express.


Within two hours ride OF Terre Haute
can be found spot where the thermom-
eter never registers more than 81 de-
grees, while the heated mercury is dane
ing around hundred in this city. This
place is called the "Shades of Death"
and is located in Montgomery county,
four miles north of Waveland, or forty
miles north of this city. The "Shades
OF Death" is canyon as wide as Ohio
street, and about three squares long.
On each side of the canyon are steep
hills rising from one hundred and fifty to
two hundred feet high. On the sides of
these hills are pine, hemlock and cedar
trees, interlockeo SO closely as to prevent
the sun from ever shining into the
depths below, causing a perpetual shade.
The ground everywhere abounds in
ferns from one to three feet in height.
Within this canyon are three delicious
springs, throwing a volume of ice-cold
water. At the lower-part of the canyon
there is cascade with . fall of about
forty-feet.

towering in the air, and heard noise
Us of geese cackling. Soon OH old mother.
goose with troop of little ones, came
running toward him.
She knew that Charles would protect
her and her fledglings from the cruel
hawk and she was not mistaken. He
took up stick, and looking up at the
hawk, said Now come on if you dare,
you old thief ~
The hawk made a swoop down to the
top of a tree near by, caught sight of the
goslings, and would, no doubt, have
liked to clutch one of them and carry il
off but the robber-bird was not quite
bold enough to do this while Charles
stood by.
At last the hawk flew off out of sight,
and Charles called his good dog Fido,
and pointed at the geese, and said ;
Take care of them, sir"
SO Fido sat down near by, and watched
the geese. / think if the hawk had
come then, Fido would have been more

A GENTLEMAN from New York, who
spent week at Mentor after Garfield
was nominated, tells little incident to
illustrate the difference between Gar
field and his wife: 1t was on the 4th of
July, l think, when Garfield, who had
bought a pair of new carriage horses,
only half broken, started to drive his
wife and another lady and my informant
out in the surrounding country. Two
rowdy fellows, knowing who Garfield
was, got in the middle of the road before
him, and whenever he undertook to pass
would trot their horses hard and make
his young horses rear up and plunge.
They did this purposely for the space Of
two or three miles. My friend was then
attracted by something in the grip of
Garfield, and as he looked around into
his face the General said: "Now l will
take wheel OFF" He said it in very
low voice, which he thought his wife did
not hear, and his blood was up, and
with his heavier wheels he could have
carried out his purpose easily. Just then
Mrs. Garfield leaned forward and said in
quiet voice: "No, James, you won't p
"Yes, L will, said he. She put her
hand out upon his arm and said: No,
James, you WON'T" My friend says that
under that touch Garfield seemed ar
rested, and in a moment he turned into
a by-road, and saw the fellows no more.

it will soon be tested on the Boston and
Albany road. 1t is forty-two inches in
diameter, with nine solid wrought-iron
double spokes; the hub is nine inches in
diameter and seven inches thick, and
the rim, two inches thick, is welded to
the spokes. The tire is of solid cast
steel, five inches broad; the slope is one
in twenty, and the fiange is one inch
high in sections, formed with curves of
one inch radius. The double spokes

MabeI's Secrets.

And what were her secrets? She was
one of the children allowed to make
Christmas lifts to their friends.
But it was hard for Mabel to keep her
secrets. When her papa came home at
night, she always climbed upon his knee
to tell him everything that had happened
in her little world during the day and
her papa always listened to her prattle
with great deal of interest.
Now. there was something she must
not tell. and Mabel could think of moth.
