rne Forms ofLoaves and Their Uses.



Even the most cursory observer of veg
atahle life must have been often struck with
The various forms of leaves Why they
should be so variously formed does not,
however. often suggest itself, though there
i reason for the special shape and texture
Of almost every leaf in existence. Plants,
such as grasses, daffodils and Others which
usually grow in clusters have generally
narrow leaves growing upright, so as not
tn oyershadow one another, Other plants,
Of isolated habits, have an arrangement OF
foliage which secures to themselves the
space of ground necessary for their de-
yelopmcnt. The daisy, dandelion or shep-
herds 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 a rosette growth,
effeetually 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, aud leaves OF
marsh plants, are usually Of simple outline,
for. having few competitors, they are not
liable to Get in one anothers light. Sub
merged plants have mostly leaves of mar
row segments-the reason for which IS
not very well understood, though it is as
sumed by naturalists that it is for the pur-
pose of exposing as large surface as pos
sible. in order to extract the minute pro
portion of carbonic acid dissolved In vast
bulk of water.
Leaves on the boughs Of trees are often
much divided, so as to fold easily, to pre-
vent their being rent and torn by high
winds, while the glossy surface OF ever
greens is intended to throw off rain and
dew. which might freeze on them, and so
cause injury to the tissues within. But
the hairs on the surface of leaves are per
haps the most interesting study OF all.
With the aid Of microscope, the beautiful
and systematic arrangement of these can
be easily discerned and their uses under
stood. On many plants there are glandu-
lar hairs, to catch or deter small creeping
insects; on others there are hairs set so as
to act as effectively against young animals
as spike palisade against Obtrusive boys;
on others, hairs which arrest the drops OF
moisture and force them down t leaf
stalk. to moisten the earth about the roots;
while others are protected by series OF
poisoned stings. The ordinary nettle is
an example of this, and the beauty and
ingenuity of its mechanism is truly won
derful. Each nettle hair is armed with a
brittle and pointed siliceOus cap, which
break off in the wound, and the poison is
then able to flow out through a tubular
hair from reservoir at its base. There is
scarcely form of leaf but is specially
modified BY nature for some particular pur-
pose, and the discovery of this purpose IS
source of very pleasant and profitable
st,ldv 10 young naturalists.

How TO CURE cATARRH.

Microscopical research by Pasteur, Hux-
ley, Koch, Tyndall, Beale and other scientists
of Europe has developed the fact that eatar-
rhal affections oe the nose, throat and other
parts of the respiratory tract are caused by
germs or parasites, which infect the mucous
membrane of these parts, and cause infiam-
nation that frequently results in one or more
of the following diseases: Weak eyes,
headache, deafness, hay fever, laryngitis,
bronchitis and consumption. A remedy that
will not destroy the germ or parasite will not
cure catarrh. DIR. J. YINGLING, of 500
FRANKLIN STREET has found a treatment
that will do this. In diphtheria, its superior
excellence is most strikingly observed, as it
dissolves and promptly removes the pseudo
or diphtheretic membrane, and gives imme-
date relief, and, if followed by proper eonsti.
tutional treatment, the patient makes rapid
recovery. If the great merits of this treat
ment and means of applying it were fully I'M
derstood for curing throat and catarrhal affec.
tons, no one being thus afflicted would
hesitate long in availng themselves of 1t;
benefits. For terms, call on, or address

A father. talking to his careless daugh-
ter, said:
want to speak to you Of your mother.
Il may be that You have noticed care
worn look upon her face lately. OF course
il has not been brought there by any act
of yours, still it Is your duty to chase it
away. ! want you to get up tomorrow
morning and get breakfast; and when your
mother comes and begins to express her
surprise, 60 right up TO her and kiss her
on The mouth You can't imagine how
it viii brighter her dear face.
Besides YOU owe her kiss or two.
Away back, when you were little g1Fi,
she kissed you when no one else was
tempted by your fever tainted breath and
swollen face. You were not as attractive
then as you are now. And through
those wears Of childish sunshine and
shadows, she was always ready TO cure,
by the magic of a mothers kiss, the little,
dirtv. chubby hands whenever they were
injured in those first skirmishes with the
rough old world.
And then the midnight kisses with
which she routed 50 many bad dreams as
she leaned above your restless pillow, have
ali been on interest these long, long years
OF course she is not so pretty and kiss
able as you are; but if you had done your
share Of work during the past ten years,
the contrast would not be so marked.
Her face has more wrinkles than yours,
and yet, If you were sick, that face would
appear far more beautiful than an angels
rs it lowered over you watching every OPP
portunity to minister TO your comfort, and
every one Of those wrinkles would seem to
be bright wagelets ofsunshine chasing each
other over the dear old face
She viii leave you one Of these days
These burdens, if not lifted from her
shoulders, win break her down. Those
rough, hard hands, that have done so many
necessary things for you. viii be crossed
upon her lifeless breast
Those neglected lips that gave you yeuI
first baby kiss win be forever closed, and
those sad, tired eyes viii have opened in
eternity, and then you viii appreciate your
mother; but it will be too late

PERsEvERK.-The cause of nine parts
in ten Of the lamenfable failures which oc-
cur in mems undertakings lies not in the
want Of talents, or the viii to use them,
but in the yascilIiating and desultory way
of using them, in flying from object to
object, in starting away at each little dis
gust, and thus applying the force which
might conquer any one difficulty to all
series Of difficulties so large that no human
force can conquer them. Commend me,
therefore, to the virtue of perseverance.
Without it, all the rest are little better
than fairy gold which glittsrs in your
purse, but when taken TO market proves to
be slate or cinders.-- Cdrlysle.

A WARNING.

The paragraph in Sundays issue of THE
HERALD, telling of Ogden parties being
here and looking about for building in
which to open a dance hall, was not a news
paper invention. The facts were as stated.
and the words of the visitors correctly re
ported. The men wanted to rent a hall.
and TO the owner of such place to whom
they applied for terms, frankly said that
they intended to run a variety show. -
They were informed that there was a mu-
nicipal ordinance forbidding shows of the
character suggested, and that the authori-
ties would not tolerate them. The parties
said they understood the situation fully,
but the Liberals were going to get control
of the election next February, when va
riety shows would be permitted and these
gentlemen intended to be early in the field,
getting the advantage which comes from
being first.
This incident is a straw indicating plainly
the direction of the Liberal mind. It also
exposes the ambition and motives of the
organization which is straining every nerve
and putting forth all effort to obtain politi-
cal control of the city at the next election.
The unclean element in the party-and
that element forms a high percentage of
the organizations eager for Liberal sue
cess, for it knows that such success will
transform Salt Lake from the quiet, peace
full, clean city that it is, with an enviable
reputation throughout the nation in the
matter of freedom from immoral houses,
dives and dens such as characterize other
western cities, into noisy, nasty town in
which dance halls and shows of the i'm
moral kind will thrive, and gambling be prac-
ticed publicly, if not under police protec-
ton. Some Of the Liberal leaders will
deny this, in the hope of deceiving and
thereby retaining the clean and upright
men who do not support the party of the
People in politics. But the denial
will not alter the facts. Ogden has
supplied the example of what Liberal
means, and furnished the in
centive to the lawless and vile to work for

A DIGNIFIED DARKEY.

PETER JACKSON, the ebony pugilist, is
standing on his dignity since his two-round
Knockout of the English champion, JEM
SMITH. He says with reference to SULLI-
VAN, that the latter drew the color line
sharply and would have nothing to do with
him when he first came from Australia, and
now he can afford to let the Boston slugger
make overtures, which he (JACKsoN) can
accept or refuse as he sees fit. This is
amusing reading, all the way through. In
the first place, white men lowered them
selves by meeting JACKSON at all, if it can
be said that pugilist can lower himself;
but one after another kept it up, and it is
hardly within our disposition to decry the
circumstances which have led to the
white mems utter humiliation. I'm
doubtedly the ebony antipodean is marvel
within his sphere, and in his general de-
pertinent has shown some of the instincts
of gentleman; there is less fault to be
found with him than with any of his oppo-
nents; and when the dusky- hued gladiator
wins fight as against any white man who
contends with him, we feel to say that the
best man has won.
