pensive furniture than in the cheaper
grades. One house, Paine's Furniture
Co., 48 Canal street, Boston, make an
exception to this rule. Some of the

Puzzled The Doctors"

MOST of the cases cured by Ayers

recommending this medicine more than
ever, and with satisfactory results.
E. NJ. Sargent, Lowell, Mass, says -
Several years ago, my daughter broke
out with large sores on her hands
face, and other parts of her body. The
case puzzled the doctors. Ny daughter
used Ayers Sarsaparilla, and it resulted
IN complete cure. Her blood seems to
have been thoroughly purified, as she
has never had so much as a pinplc
since taking this medicine"
"This is TO certify that after having
been sick for twelve years with kidney
disease and general debility, and having
been treated by several physicians with
ont relief, am now better in every re-
spect, and think l am nearly well,
having taken seven bottles of Ayers

Even the most ours DRY observer of vege-
table life must have been often struck with
the various forms of leaves. Why they
should be so vari)usly formed does not
however, often suggest itself though there
is \ reason for the special shape and texture
of almost every leaf in existence. Plants,
such as grasses datfodils. and others which
usually grow in clusters, have generally mar
row leaves growing upright, so as not to
overshadow one another. Other plants of
isolated habits. have AN arrangement of
foliage which secures to themselves the
space of ground necessary for their
development rhe daisy dsndelion, or
shepherds purse-which may mostly be
seen in pastures-are examples of this. A
circle of broad leaves pressed against the
ground. forming what is known as y rosette
growth. efsectuslly bars the approach of
any other plant and keeps clear from all
other roots the space of ground necessary
to its own nutriment. Floating leaves
and leaves of marsh plants are usually of
simple outline, for. having few competitors
they are not liable to get in one another .
light Submerged plants have mostly
leaves of narrow segments reason for
which is not very well understood, though
IT is assumed b, naturalsts that il is for
as possible. in order to extract the minute
proportions of carbonic acid dissolved in q
vast bulk of water.
Leaves on the boughs of trees are often
much divided, so a, to fold easily. to prevent
their being rent aud torn by high winds,
while the glossy surface of evergreens is in
tended TO throw of rain and dew, which
might freeze on them. and so cause injury to
the tissues within. But the hairs on the sur
face of leaves are perhaps the most interest
ing study of all With the aid of micro
scope. the beautiful and systematic arrange
ment of these can be easily discerned and
their uses understood. On many plants there
are granular hairs, TO catch or deter
small creeping insects; on others there
are hairs set so as 10 act as effectively
against young animals as spike
pslisade agsins, obtrusive boys; on
others. hairs which arrest the drops of mois-
ture and force them down the leafstslk, TO
moisten the earth about the roots. while
others are protected by a series of poisoned
stings. The ordinary netile is an example
of this, and the beauty and ingenuity of It's
mechanism is truly wonderful. Each net,le
hair is armed with a brittle and pointed
siliceous cap, which breaks of in the wound ;
and the poison is then able to flow out
through tubular hair, from a reservoir AT
its base. There is scarcely form of leaf
but is specially modified by nature for some
particular purpose, and the discovery of this
purpose is a source of very pleasant and
profitable study to young nsturalisss. Ger.
