Sticking Adaptation in the Leaves
of II.r-Y.

We have hitherto been considering,
for the most part, dcti.uous trees. 1t
is generally supposed that in autumn
the leaves drop off because they die.
My impression is that most persons
would be very much surprised to hear
that this is not altogether the case. In
fact, however. the separation is a vital
process, and if bough is killed. the
the leaves are not thrown of. but re-
main attached to It. Indeed. the dead
leaves not only remain in stu. but they
are still firmly attached. Being dead
and witncrcd, they give the impress
sion that the least shock would dctach
them; on the contrary, however, they
will often bear a weight of as much as
wo pounds without coming off.
In evergreen species the conditions
,re in many respects different. When
we have an early fall OF snow in
autumn. the trees which still retain
their leaves are often very much bro
ken down. Hence, perhaps, the COM
paratiyc pauCIty OF eyergreens in tem-
pcrate regions, and the tendency of
eyergrcens to have smooth and glossy
leaves, such as those OF the holly, box,
and evergreru-oak. Hairy leaves
especially retain the snow on which
more and more accumuIates.
Again, evergreen leaves sometimes
remain on the tree for several Years;
for instance, IN the Scotch pine three
or four years, the spruce or silvertir
six or seven, the ycw eight, A. pmSapO
sixteen or seventeen, araucarla and
others even longer. 1t is true that dur

a Wise Rooster.

+. Burhans is the owner of a rooster
which has increased in value since n
little incident occurred few evenings
ago. The family noticed the rooster
at their back door making Il peculiar
sound and appearing excited, but paid
no attention TO it. When they looked
up the bird would run to the hcn-housc,
and, seeing no one following, would
return TO the back door, still acting in
strange manner. This was repeated
several times, when Mr.. Burhans went
out to see what WAS the cause of the
disturbance. The rooster led the way
to the coop, whore Mr.. Burhans found
the hens all sitting on the ground and
tho pole down ON which they should

the rooster sprang on the porch and
glceiully called the others, who soon
followed, Aud then they settled down

In the days when he was received on

When the headquarters were pitch
ed at City Point, at the time the armies
sat down in front of Richmond and
Petersburg, general officer who COM
manded the brigade stationed at that
place wanted to do something that
would afford the commanding general
especial delight, SO he sent the brigade
band over to the headquarters camp
to play while the mess were dining.
About the third evening the General
remarked: 1--WE noticed that that
band always begins its noise just

How to Deal With Murdcrers,

In accordance with a recent law all
executions in Ohio will take place with
in the walls of the penitentiary. The
object Of the law is to prevent the pub
licity that usually attends executions
at jails; bu. it is defective, as it does
not limit the attendance to the prison
officials. In New York the law limits
the number OF spectators. They are,
however, usually more numerous than
they ought to be, and shcritfs are apt
to overlook the requirements of the
law in order to accommodate people
whose curious tastes find a gratltica-
ton in such CHASTITY exhibition. But
the worst aspect OF our present man
ner OF treating persons condemned to
death is the publicity allowed during
their confinement IN jalls They are
generally allowed TO receive as many
visitors as they wish, and the morbid
sympathy that makes hero or a mar
tyr out of Il murderer is allowed every
opportunity Tor expression. News
papers feel under Obligations to keep
their readers advised OF every event OF
interest that takes place III the cell
Of the condemned. because there is a
demand for that kind OF "literature. "
There is another class of readers who
are shocked by such details, and espe-
cIally by the portrayal of agonizlng
scenes at the galIows. The tendency
is to increase the number OF those
who oppose capital punishment, to
break down the safeguards which So
ciety has erected for its own safety, to
foster an UNIV wholesome sympathy for
criminals, and to lessen abhorrence of
their crimes. The best remedy for the
evil is to consign all persons under
sentence of death to q state prison, to
be kept secure from public observation,
and to be executed in the presence of
the prison physician, the chaplain, and
the necessary number of other prison
officials. 1l6duV EEpreSS.
