To Keep Autumn Leaves Bright.

10 Keep Autumn Leaves Bright
New York Sun.
Autumn leaves are very fashionable
this year as parlor decorations. All
the large florists are getting them in
large quantities, and, after they are
prepared, sell them at 25 cents dozen.
The leaves in greatest demand are oak
leaves, which, dried and vanished, are
placed about picture frames and in
punches on the walls. Leaves from the
chestnut tree, which are said to retain
their green color, are often mixed in
among the oak leaves, which are of
reddish brown.
On any clear Saturday bevies of
young girls may be seen in Central
Park gathering leaves. The maple
leaves and sumac are greatly ought
for. They are carried home and
pressed. They often fail to keep their
color. A florist said yesterday that the
best way to preserve leaves was to press
them between blotting paper, or some
other soft paper.
"After several days." he said, stake
them out and stamp the paper, lest the
moisture cause the leaf to rot. Keep
changing the paper at intervals until
the leaves are thoroughly dry. Then
they will look dull. The colors will
verge toward the brown, and the col
lector, who has not had experience, may
imagine that the color is fading. This
is not SO. The color has to be brought
out by oil, varnish or wax.
l prefer oil. The next best
thing is to varnish the leaves with a
thin white varnish. | do not approve
of waxing, for it makes the leaves too
brittle. The leaves are rubbed over
with wax and then ironed with warm
fiatiron. Formerly wreaths and orna-
ments were made out of pressed leaves;
now they are only used for pictures and
to decorate walls. To my mind the
handsomest leaves are the maple. They
are Of almost every tint. We often
find the palest canary, yellow, orange,
and red on the same leaf. They are
also easy to press
At the florists at the southeast cor
ner of Broadway and Twenty-third
street the reporter saw a large box
filled with mingled oak and chestnut
leaves.
"These are the only kind of leaves
which we press this year." the young
lady in charge said. awe press the
leaves and then varnish them.''
"What kind of varnlsh do you use?"
81 really don't know" she replied;
"we buy it at paint store few blocks
away"
sis there much sale for dried leaves?"
eyes, indeed. We sell a great many.
After they are prepared we charge rs
cents a bunch. There are about a
dozen in q bunch.

81 will absolutely have no further
communication with my husband"
said Mrs. Annie Rennie in the Desertion
Court yesterday. she has ill-treated
me; he has used profane language to
me; he throws egg-shells in my face and
twice he struck me-"
'But if he should give you assurance
that these things shall not be repeated;
that he will treat you kindly, leaving it
to me to use strong measures if he
should fail to keep his promise, what
thenp" asked Judge Allison. "Would
you not try him again and go live with
hime"
"No; l shall not seem him again"
"That is wrong disposition" an
swered the court. "Marriage is COM
ing to be too lightly regarded in this
city. There are causes that justify
wife in separating from a husband
and husband in leaving his wife; but
they are no trihes. Every cause is not
such cause. Husbands and wives
must learn to bear and forbear. An
noyances that may make life perhaps
less comfortable than it might be will
not always justify one in violating the
martial vow and rending assunder the
martial state. 1t seems to me that the
natural feelings of sympathy for
woman in this court is working harm.
If woman feels that if her husband Of
Tended her she may leave him with the
certainty of getting an order of support
against him out of this court she is en-
couraged to take up her pack and
abandon him. In the last ten years
this weekly desertion business, as it is
called, has increased four-fold. There
must be something wrong, some
where.
In the case in hand Andrew Rennie,
the husband, ascribed all his troubles
TO his mother-in-law, and said that he
wished to have his wife back and had
rooms awaiting her return. The
mother-in-law denied that she was at
all to blame and declared that her SON.
in-law's misfortunes were all upol his
own head. Mrs. Rennie said that she
would make living for herself and
asked only that her husband might be
decreed to contribute to the support of
his two little children. The Judge de-
clined to make an order for the time,
but suggested that the support ought to
be given, "and as an incentive to
reconciliation, he added, addressing
the husband, ssas an evidence of your
good will, you should contribute to the
maintenance of your wife also. Then
when you prove to her that you really
mean to do well, hope that you will
come together again.

Diegers, the Russian minister OF for

A Washington special to the Missouri
Republican, speaking Of Judge Blacks
death. saws: F'The news of the death of
Jeremiah s. Black was received with
great regret here where his face had been
familiar for many years. Judge Black
was in Washington very often of late
wears. He was best known as one of the
foremost members of the Supreme Court
bar. At times he appeared before the de-
partments, but plenty of people remember
him as he was in his prime before the war.
The last time that his appearance here
attracted national attention was when he
came last winter as counsel for the Nor
mons and attempted to negative the work
of the Utah Commission. Judge Black
was one of tine most familiar figures in
the lobby of one of the uptown hotels. A
Well-built. cOmfOrtable-lOOking man with
a smooth face Drowned by the weather,
bushy. dark eyebrows, shading to gray,
and a brown wig that did not knows its
place. He wore a stock and carried a
snuff-bOX, and his clothes were out of
date. He was always the centre of a
group of listeners. He was one of the
best story -tellers in public life. When he
was not entertaining his friends, in his
rest hours. he was reading French novels,
of which he was very fond. He was glad
to come to Washington at any time on
account of his daughter, Mrs. Hornsby,
who has a delightful home in the West
end. In her company her father saw a
good deal of Washington society. He was
universally liked. His originality, his
quaintness and his old fashioned man.
ners gave him peculiar interest. His big
heart held the friends whom his brilliancy
attracted

The working classes of this country
may have grounds of complaint in regard
to the prevailing rates of wages, but COM
parisOn with those Of other countries

artisan is absolutely lolling in the lap of
luxury. Some recent investigations by
the Archbishop of Canterbury have elected
the startling facts that people in London
are paid eight cents for making an ulster,
and the tariff for the manufacture of
match boxes is but four and half cents
per gross. 1t is more than probable that
