Slumbering Plants.

II is well known that plants sleep al

habit. To find the chamber dark in spite
of the time of day. Such are the tram

vious struggle the plant submitted to
the change and turned day into night
without any apparent i'll effects.

plants are so sensitive that their leaves

From a london Letter.

IIODl LOnuOn Letter.
While the queen was peacefully sleep
ing away the summer night among her
loved Highlands, she was acting by q
pleasant fiction as hostess at Buckingham
Palace, where the lamps shone bright
over fair women and brave men invited
to the first state ball of the season. The
scene was as brilliant and about as gay as
such affairs usually are, which seem to
bore rather than brighten those who at
tend them. The dancing at these state
balls is especially inanimate; quadrilles
and lancers are walked through with
spiritless tread, and the strains Of the
most seductive waltz answered by aristo-
cratic partners, who express no more de-
light In their dull eyes than do dancing
dolls on the stage OF puppet show. The
expression of the joyousness and gayety
Is natural TO the dance, IN these people
wonderful. Joyless and vacuous, they
are merely lay figures for the display OF
glittering gauds. In one sense msny OF
the women are overdressed; in another
underdressed the show Of busts, backs,
shoulders and arms being large, and In
come the Juggling charms OF stout, elderly
prompted to cover the painted, powdere
and polished shoulder-blades from which
all natural freshness and coloring have
long faded. These point the moral Of
Shakespeare's lines. But there are also
happily to be seen the better rounded
flesh OF more beautiful women, around
whose necks and on whose bosoms price.
