THE NEW YORK LEooER's
CHANGE OF FORM,

From this time forth the Ne,
York Ledger will contain sixtce
pagea. The publishers have bee
urged for years by their subscribed I
to make this change, SO they woul,
have the Ledger Ia form convent
ent for binding. In making tn
change from eight 70 sixteen pages
Messrs. Robert Bonner's Sons hav,
utilized the opportunity to introduc,
important improvements into th,
Ledger, and to add many new ant
costly features. The new number o
the Ledger (November I6tb) leads OF
with the opening chapters OF an ex
traordinary story from the pen o.
Anna Katharine Green, (author o.
the "Leavenworth Case''), entitled
"The Forsaken Inn"
This remarkable story was written
in white hest-dsshed off almost
without rest from commencement 10
end. II has been the habit Of Auna
Katharine Green to deliberate for a
long time before taking pen In hand
to begin nav work, and then to de-
vote at least year TO its completion,
but "The Forsakcn Inn" presented
itself TO her In way so forcibic and
vivid that all her former nc. hods
were discarded, aud she wrote the
story under the spur OF overpo ering
inspiration. The result was the pro-
duction OF an exceptionally brilliant
and glowing literary gem.

An old matchmaker: "Tou often

mon pivots. This is one of the pop
ular fallacies; and 1t is impossible to
toll where such an absurd idea orlgi-
mated.

less, aud 1t is only the labor OF setting
them that gives any extra value TO q
jeweled watch. They are made by
machinery from the chips broken OF
stones in cutting and can bo bought Mt
jewelers. supply stores for less than
one dollar dozen. But TO get a new
jewel put in watch costs considera-
bly, moro. Suppose fine ruby jewel
is naeded. The matchmaker has to go
TO the supply store and spend perhaps
an hour in hunting among quarts
Of little stones for one that
is the exact size and shape re-
quired When he has found what he
wants ho will have to pay twenty-five
cents at the outside for 1t, not that 1t
is worth so much. but because tho
dealer docs not care to 60 10 the
trouble OF sotllng out all his jewell
boxes for u smaller sum. II will then
take the workman couple of hours TO
set the jewel in place. because he has
to talso the watch to pieces and clean

cost workman more than q dollars

jewels are made from chips OF garpet,

In even greater loss to the thief than

Sad mistakes are made by hundreds
Of well-meaning people in their method
Of administering nourishment to in
valids. It Is the custom to keep the
delicacies intended to tempt their ap-
petites constantly within their reach.
The result is. that instead of feeling
any desire for the jellies. broths, ETC.,
thus obtruded upon their notice, the
sight of them creates loathing and dis
gust. Sick people should never DO
haunted with food in this way. Even
persons in health would lose their
relish for choice dishes if condemned
to live in a larder surrounded night
and day with all the dainties of the
season. If you have any thing rare
and delicious for your patient, surprise
him with it. A pleasant surprise is q
good tonic, and you may excite his
palate by springing a refreshing
rarity upon him unexpectedly. Never
hand sick man a pile of eatables.

the whole of it. Feed him on the in

and az soon as he has taken what he
requires remove the remainder. In

THE BOTTLE TREE.
One of the Remarkably Peculiar Plants OF
the AntipOdcs.

One OF the Remarkably Peculiar Plants OF
the Antipodes.
Among the singular and rare plants
of the world is the Australian bottle
tree, an indigenous tree of a limited
portion of tropical Queensland. and
found nowhere else in Australia or on
the globe. The native habitat of this
peculiar specimen of vegetation is on
the eastern coast range of mountains
within tho parallels of Is and 81 de-
grees of south latitude. The soil on
which it grows is dry. the areas are
level to a limited extent, and elevated
above sea level over 1000 feet.
This tree takes it's name from the
shape of it's trunk, which is wonder
fully like the outlines of a giant bottle
of the common order. The thick part
of the trunk from the ground upward
is from fifty to sixty feet high, from
thirty to forty feet in circumference,
and quite straight up to where the
neck tapers to the spreading foliage
above all. The bark of the tree is
about three feet thick, of brown color
and of cork-like consistency. The
foliage, which is very graceful, spreads
from the top of the tree, and the
branches have their base in the top of
the ''neck.'' The leaves are similar in
size and shape to those of a cherry tree.
but their color and consistency are
much lighter. The spread of the
branches and foliage form regular
shaped dome of about forty feet in
diameter and of moderate density, Civ
ing ample shade from the rays of the
sun. n
Those bottle trees grow in groves
from ten to thirty in each, and are not
less than 100 feet apart from each
other, although other trees intervene
in places. There is generally good
pasturage and very little underground
OF bushes where bottle trees grow.
Their appearance on the landscape is
very striking and unique, but there is
quaint beauty in the tout ensemble
nevertheless; and the tree, although
strange. is rather handsome in the
spread Of its foliage. Even the ele-
phantic appearance ct the trunk is not
unhandsome when the eye becomes &C.
