want my plants to look as green and
healthy as yours / said. But for
better answer took them to bed of
shrubbery and flowers near by, and
showed them how stems and flowers
were largest on the shoots which had
the largest and thickest and greenest
leaves, and how there was no growth
at all on such as had no leaves or
faded ones.
They soon understood from what
they saw the importance OF healthy
entire leaves. Next we searched to
find whether any leaves were perfect
that were shaded by the light from
others. The children clapped their
hands and poured out EXPLANATIONS
of surprise and delight when they
saw how cunningly every leaf stem
was turned so as TO have the face of
the leaf in as full sunlight as possible,
and how good naturally each seemed
to be satisfied with just its share,
making all the room possible
for others. None but the well
lighted ones were healthy. We
went back to the strawberry rows
with these observations fresh in mind,
and my ardent little visitors saw for
themselves that wherever a green leaf
was shaded by older ones, or by dust,
or by being bent away from It's light,
it's usefulness to the plant was lost.
Their faces became reverent with re-
spect felt for these main agents of
plant growth. By way of adding
book lore to the object lesson read a
paragraph from the Wonders of the

they called again. For the present
they had quite enough to mediate
upon and to guide their further plant
care by.-N. Y. Tribune.

A NATURAL curiosity that bids fair
to outrival the famous Mammoth
Cave of Kentucky has just been dis
covered o. the farm of John Davis,
who resides six miles east of Jacks
boros. Cambell County, Tenn. Only
one chamber of the cave has been eX
plored thus far, and that only partly,
in which prehistoric mumies, with
sandals on their feet, in excellent
state of preservation have been found,
some periGed, others preserved by the
salt of the cave. The walls OF the
chamber are decorated with paintings
Of extinct or imaginary animals. A
largo stream aboundS with blind fish.
Mr.. Davis has captured species OF
iackal or red fox, and the cave seems
to be fun Of both animal and yege-
table life. Crickets as large as En-
glish sparrows hop or leisurely walk
off when alarmed, and rats as large
as jack rabbits run about in semi do
meshcated recognition. Footprints Of
exquisite mold are we'll defined in the
hardened mud, and miniature for
ests along the banks Of the river are
clothed in snow white foliage and
sensitive flowers.

THE vessels of the American Steam
ship Line, running between Philadel-
phia and Liverpool, have been sold 20
the International Navigation Com
pany, which controls the Red Star
Line, running between Antwerp and
this city and Philadelphia, 1t has
been generally known that the Amer
lean Line has been losing money for
some years past, and that the Penn,
sylvania Railroad Company, which
owned it, had been making good the
losses. Finally the company gave
up hoping that the government would
subsidize the line and began uegotia-
tons which were concluded yesterday.
II is annouAced that the international
Navigation Company has greed to try
and build up the Philadelphia and
Liverpool trade and retain the presen
name of tho American Line. 1t may
be necessary for them to do so under
a foreign flag, 1t is also oliicialI,

That ever au artisan wrought
But only her intimate friends ever knew
The price at which IL was bought
Ny loves pearly teeth are ever as white
As an egg hy a hen newly laid,
But YOU can never get her to give IL away
