There are parents VINO were shocked
by the recent revelation of vices in
London, and yet who are unconscious
of the fact that they are permitting
their own children to be exposed to the
same temptations that brought the
youth Of London to ruin. In every
city in this country it is usual to find
the streets crowded in the evening with
young people-boys and girls-who are
treading dangerous paths. Any even
ing you will lind boys at the corners or
lounging by the doors Of saloons listen
ing to the ribald talk of those inside.
These boys are in the nursery of crime.
The ranks Of criminals are being con-
stantly recruited from this class. They
grow with marvellous rapidity. Girls
in their teens are also found on the
streets. You see them going up or
down or lettering on the corners by
twos or threes; girls of respectable par
entage, who perhaps have their moth
ers' consent to walk out while. not
knowing that frequently by their ac-
tions these young daughters are en-
couraging the familiar attentions of
those scavengers of the devil, the male
tlirts, whose notice has so often been
the forerunner of moral degradation.
Whenever a girl chafes at the love
guard which mothers anxiety throws
about her she has started on the down
ward course. the end of which is a
blasted home, a mothers heart broken
and a fathers head bowed in shame.
If fathers and mothers wish to save
their children they must make their
homes happy for the boys and girls
within them, and thus keep them out
of the street.

The sap of most plants is taken from
the soil by the power of causing osmo-
sis which the roots possess. This force
is known to be sufficient to raise the
fluid to height of over loo feet I'M
aided, and gives rise to what is gener-
ally known as root pressure. In the
stem the fluid passes through the ves-
se.s or ducts of the pitted cells of
plants which, like the pine, have few
vessels. These are all minute tubes,
in which the sap is supported by capil-
larry attraction, so that root-pressure
Is generally considered to be amply
sufficient to force the current to the
top Of the highest tree. But its motion
upward is induced by the pumping ac-
ton of the leaves, from which large
quantities of water evaporate.
The ducts and plted cells through
which the stream flows are not entire
ly filled with sap, but include bubbles
of gas with it. As water is withdrawn
from the uppermost cells by evapora-
ton, the air in them expands to occu-
py the additional space, and SO exerts
less pressure than at first. This allows
some Of the water lower down to be
forced upward and into them by the
elasticity OF the air bubbles in the 9TH
er cells, the ad justmcnt going on from
above downward-the tendency being
to equalize the pressure throughout the
entire plant While evaporation con-
tinues the equilibrium is never reached;
when it stops the balance may be aifec-
ted, and the sap remain quiet, support
ed by root pressure and caplllarity, un-
less some disturbing element is intro
duced.
This exact balance is probably never
reached. even when the leaves are off
the trees. The sur warns one part of
the stem more than another, and the
temperature of the whole changes from
hour to hour and from day to day.
Every change of this sort causes the air
within the cells to expand or contract,
and so leads to movement Of sap
from the root upward or from one part
OF the trunk to another. The flow of
the maple sap in Spring illustrates this
nicely. During a cold night the air in
the trunk contracts, and the space it
occupied is filled with sap from below
ground. When the sun strikes the tree
the next morning and warns it up the
bubbles OF gas again expand and drive
the sap out wherever twig has been
broken or hole bored into the trunk.

HOW THE TEXAs GIRL MARRIEs
While social philosophers have been
trying to explain why young men do
not marry, u Texas girl has pluckily
proven that they sometimes do, says
the Philadelphia Times. 1t appears to
nave been this lady's misfortune to
have had a backward and bashful low
er. There was reason to believe from
his constant visits that his passion was
intense'enough for even that voluptu-
Gus cline, but beyond an occasional
glance, that only irritated the girl who
was waiting very impaticntly for some
more substantial evidences of affection,
he gave little sign of the fire with
which he wasn't being consumed. The
dim light of turned-down lamp to
which she resorled now and ther
frightened him beyond the power of
speech. He would neither clasp her
hand or her, and when she hitched her
chair closer toward his, some invisible
power crowded his away to respect
full distance. 1t wasn't very cheerful
courtship for either.
Time flies, and the average girl wants
something more from her lover than
awkward looks. The young man came
night after night, and spoke eloluently
of the cholera in Spain, the territorial
uprising of the Indians, the way the
political rascals were behig turned out.
and where his fellow-citizen, Mr.. Flan-
ingan. would likely go to next. He
commended Cleveland's policy and
spoke of the growing crops yelowing
in the golden sunlight. But he. drew
the line on declaring his love. Several
times she held her breath as he walked
dangerously near the desired point. but
something seemed to warn him in time,
and he swallowed the lump in his
throat and drew off in toerable order
Then when patience had ceased to be a
virtue and the old folks were growing
about the oil bill, scant as it was, she
leveled pistol at his head and pro-
posed herself. OF course he didn't re-
fuse.
Rumor says that they were promptly
married, and that neither has ever re-
GREETED the impetuous betrothal. Per-
haps not, but the young man probably
wouldn't tell all he thinks for reasons
OF personal safety. The girl who keeps
revolver in close proximity for use on
a bashful lover would probably train
Gatling gun on the head of rcfrac-
tory husband. Still. the experiment
might be tried by the eastern and
northern girls, as it may be bashful-
ness. not fear of expense, that prevents
so many men in these sections from
marrying. Perhaps, though, it would
be wise not to use loaded pistol; oc-
casionally a weapon of that kind is
dangerous when handled by man.
Its death-dealing power can only be
surmised when turned loose by an irate
woman.

! have q letter from Gasteiu, which
tells mildly romantic story OF one
Fraulein keon. the daughter of man
ufacturer who is an habitual visitor at
that resort. The incidents named con-
stitute rather pretty episode in the
life of the aged German Emperor. En-
peror William first saw Fraulein keon
at Gastein three years ago, the young
lady being every day at "a window di-
rectly opposite the room occupied by
the Emperor. One day the Emperor,
who had grown accustomed TO seeing
her there and had become rather fond
OF the repeated incident, missed her
face from her usual place at the win
dow, and made inquiries about her.
The lady was thereupon introduced to
the Emperor, and a pleasant acquain-
tance followed. Always after that the
old monarch spoke to her every time
he met her in his promenades. Each
season since that, when leaving Gastein.
he obtains from her "A promise TO be his
vis-a-yis again in the following season.
Fraulcin keon is u modest and retiring
young lady, and when several MEM
bers Of the German aristocracy, eager
to initiate their imperial master in his
attention to her, asked 10 be intro
duced, she replied: ii am very willing
to do what can to please the yenera-
BILE monarch if he Is pleased To see me

but cannot allow myself to be made

Massachusetts Is leading the way in
bringing about beneiicent reform
the abatement Of locomotive whistling.
For many years the railroad commits
sioners have urged upon the companies
the feasibility and desirabiity of re-
strictingNine use of the whistle. They
held that by frightening horses it prob
ably caused as many accidents as II
saved, not to speak of the deaths re-
sulting from loss of sleep in cases Of
illness where the invalid's house Is
near the track. and further argued that
the value OF the warning as a distinct
signal Of danger is greatly diminished
by its indiscriminate use. A dozen
years ago the managers of the Boston
and Albany railroad, one of the most
important in the state, were converted
to this view, and discontinued the use
OF the whistle except as a danger sig
nal. Experience has shown no in
crease in the number of accidents,
while the comfort of dwellcrs along the
line has been greatly promoted. The
success OF this experiment led to the
passage by the last legislature of law
TO restrict the use of the whistle at
street crossings. A petition by citi-
zens of Lawrence for the application
of this law in their city was recently
heard by the commissioners. and they
have just exercised their discretionary
power by giving orders to prevent
whistling at certain specified crossings
in thickly-scttlcd quarters. The COM
missioners at the same time recon-
mend the companies to discontinue
the use of the whistle as signal for
switches, and as a means of COMMUNE
cation from one cmploye to another,
on the ground that the practice is
needless and an incxcusable annoy-
ance to the public. The Importance of
this movement, not only as means
of comfort, but as Il sanitary measure,
can not easily be exaggerated. -NeW

explanation for the curious eyes:

of pair of scissors in that eye. The
matter in it ran out OF the wound. An
old country physician was called, and
he said probably the eye could be saved
by putting cats eye in the place. A
cat was caught, treated with chloroform,
and, while under the influence, the eye
was transferred TO me. In four or tive
months ! was able TO 90 out of the dark
room in which | had been kept, and

unless 1t was in a cup splashed
with mill-ponds and swamps. As civil
llzatlon advanced, these things receded
into obscurity. and the plainest of
white china appeared in their place.
This kind of ware has carried all before
it for long time, and nobody was
brave enough to attempt anything new.
We finally decided to attempt little
fancy business in glassware, and we
sent some very prettily-tinted tumblers
afloat. Orders began coming in, and
now the only thing that troubles US is
the lack of colors and tints. Everybody
wants something purely original and
grolesque. Large liquor dealers took
to the new idea first, and to keep the
business rolling we began furnishing
them with the thinnest glass we could
hnd. The glass is a boon to us. 1t is
easily colored, and twice as easily
broken as the more sturdy ware for
merry used. A careless bartender or
servant will smash two or three dol
lars worth in a week. This will call
forth another order, and if more or less
profanity accompanies it we are not
responsible for that. Well, as | was
saying, the fashion has grown so that
nearly every family of any consequence
in the city has more or less tinted
glassware. 1t is very pretty to look at.
Children adore it because when they
hold it before their eyes the whole world
changes her garb. Children will be
careless, you know, and break a great
many OF the articles. Children are a
great blessing. After the public mind
is warped sufficiently We are going to
try to ring in some tinted chinaware of
very frail and beautiful pattern.
Take it all in all. l think that the out
look for this business is growing more
hopeful every day. ."-AeW York sun.

Badly Spelled Forgeries.

II liars should have good memories
forgers should certainly be able to
spell. To embark on the profession of
an ulterer of forged checks if you are
not quite certain of your orthography
is always rash This is shown by an
interesting case at present occupying
the attention of the Paris police. One
of the banks has lately been defrauded
by an ingenious gang of forgers. They
used to get possession by some means
of the signatures of certain of the
banks customers, which they proceeded
to initiate with such skill that their
checks were paid without question.
They used even to write business let
ters to the manager. This betrayed
them. 1t was noticed than the word
"annule" was misspelled on one of the
forged checks. 1t was also noticed that
the same misspelling occurred in let
ter of Guinet, one Of the suspected per-
sons. The manager was struck by the
coincidence, aud Mr. Guinet was ar
rested and put on his trial. This sim
pie story shows how necessary educa-
lion is, even in the easiest professions.

SEEDING GRASS IN SUMNER.

When it is required to seed grass in
summer, the stubble should be plowed
as soon after harvest AS possible, not
more than four inches deep, and then
narrowed down to a fine tilth AS soon
as the weeds appear. The seed may
then be sown between the middle of
August and lst of September, or even
earlier, upon u perfectly tine surface,
and the seed ground into the soil light
ly by means of plank drawn over the
surface. Thus the seed will catch
nicely unless very dry weather inter-
venes.
In order that the grass may become
strong enough to stand the winter 1t
should appear above ground carly in
September. Do not be afraid of trash
on the surface if evenly distributed.
1t will assist the grass to winter rather
than otherwise. But, unless the sur
face-tllth is in the best condition. wait
until the frosts OF winter have mellow
ed the surface. Grass-seed is too small
to take well at any season in lumpy
soil.
Clover should never be sown in the
late summer or in the autumn. Its

1t to stand the winter properly, and il

crop is sown with it fair crop of grass
may be cut the same season 1t is sown,

sown late IN the summer u light cover

THE MATRIMONIAL MARKET,

An Ohio man has compiled table
which shows very clearly the effect of
hard times upon the matrimonial
market, says the New York Post Just
before the war the mum Der of marriages
in the state averaged about $4,000 a
year, the total in 1860 being %, LOG out
of n population of 2,339,5ll. The in
tuence of the war was reflected in the
fall to 1910 in 1862 and 1890 in 1868
while the return of peace was followed
in 1866 by the unprecedented number
of 30, 479. The average settled down
to about 26,OOO a year after 1870. but
the influence of the panic of 1873 is
seen in the drop from 26.67S in 1874 to
23, iS9 in 1875. A similar result has
followed the business depression OF the
last two years, and the number of mar
riages fell from over 30. 500 iu 1882 and
1888 to only %, 72O in 1884. Two 9TH
er things are shown by an analysis of
the table. One is the fact that the
number of marriages in Ohio is appre-
ciaDiy less in proportion to the popula-
ton now than IL was q quarter of a
century ago. Before tho war there
was one marriage every year to little
over 100 inhabitants. The same ratio
now would require an annual average
of about ~, 800, while for five years
past the average has been only 20. 255.
and the highest number-30, 659 in 1883
is we'll short of these figures. Anoth-
er discovery is that the number OF chill
>..:an to each marriage has fallen off in
: marked degree. In 1860 there were
23, log marriages, and the number of
births was 7l,l7o. During the last five
years the number of marriages has av-
eraged 30 2j5, and the number of births
has been but is, 4jS-fewer births than
twenty-five years ago, with married
population over 20 per cent larger.
The disparl,v would doubtless appear
still greater il the comparison could be
restricted q the native population, for
full eighth of Ohio's inhabitants are
of foreign birth, and another consid-
cradle percentage are the descendants
of foreigners. among whom large fam
lilies are the RUE. 1t would probably
be found on such an analysis that the
fccundity of Ohioans who are of New
England descent has diminished in as
marked degree as that of the inhabi-
tants of the region from which they
went.

MARRIAGE AND MONEY.

Mrs. A. S. Duniway. of the NeW
NOrthWeSt, discusses the financial rela-
tions of wives. She says:
To educate a woman for independ-
ence, give her few years of her early
life in occupations where wage-earning
becomes habit, and then expect her
to marry and settle down" in a state
of serene contcntmcnt as a servant
without wages in a poor mans home,
when. under properly regulated sys-
TEN of living, her duties of wifehood
and motherhood would increase her
emoluments, since they increase her
burdens and responsibilities, is to ex-
pect the impossible and endeavor to
maintain the unattainable.
Men are continually deploring the
apparent decrease of the home instinct
among women, when the fact is, that
instinct is. like nest-building in birds,

ways find delight in it when they are
supplied with means commensurate
with their labors and are surrounded
by an environment in any way congo

work in shops. who keep millinery and
mantau-making establishments, who
work rs copyists, artists, etc, are fast
