Simon Cameron,s Tree.

Not many Of even his most intimate
friends knew that Simon Cameron had
even so much as an atom ofthe poetic in
his character, but Mr.. Edward Clark.
architect Of the Capitol, gives an incident
Of his career which proves that he some
times had thoughts for other matters
than political management. When Mr..
Clark, several years ago, had completed
his drawings and plans for the now near
" completed marble terraces on the
north, south and west fronts Of the Cap
itol grounds, It could be easily seen that
an even then old elm tree would block
ade the entrance to the southern ap-
proach, and must therefore be cut down.
Mr.. Cameron, then a Senator from Penn
sylvania, was among the first to make
this discovery, and going at once to Mr..
Clark, asked as personal favor that the
tree should be spared during MS lifetime,
Mr. Clark finally promised that it should
not be removed.
There the old tree, the age Of which
Ar Clark believes is about a century, has
remained ever since, ard there it yet
stands, its upper branches now and for
some years past dead. which fact has in
creased the wonder Of those not aware Of
tie facts why it has been left undisturb-
ed so long. Mr.. Clark says he has not
made any new order concerning the tree
nor has he come to any determination in
regard to it.

Do not read much in a railway ear

carry good reading lamp to hook on

travel BY night rather than by day if the
companies could only see their way to

Authors should have black rrIled pa

strain the eyes by reading too ine types.
The bedroom blinds should be red or
gray, and the head Of the bed should be

The PerIIs Id Gunnings

A well-knOwn sportsman, speaking Of
the many accidents that occur 70 gunneTs
at this season, says. wow that L Is he
game season for great many birds, GER
tain points that have recently been rais-
ed by weIl-informed English sportsman
are deserving of attention. lie says thas
since the introduction Of bTeech-loadirg
Eowling pieces, eases Of accidental shoot
ing have become painfully numerous.
and the relative number seems 10 be IN
creasing in rlf ortion as the generation
which began its experience With muzzle-
loading guns disappears from the scene
The reason he gives is that the use Of a
muzzle- loading gun involved 80 much
delay in recharging that the sportsman
was nncOnscioGsly more careful than he
is at the present day, when cartridges
can be slipped IN the barrel with hardly
any delay. The old gunner would re-
serve his fire through fear that By shoot
ing too soon he might loose an opportu-
nifty to take advantage Of chances that
would occur moment OF two later. But
under existing conditions there Is no
need Of taking such considerations into
account, and this has begottea = careless
ness which With young sportsmen, par
tieularly when several men are shooting
together, verge upon the dangerous. Wild
game shooting IS an amusement which IS
incidentally 30 health-giving that il de-
serves to receive encouragement but,
ike many other out-of-door sports, it is
attended with certain risks. though the
one which We have pointed out might,
it seems 70 Us, be materially lessened if
the fact that they are handling dangerous
weapons rested at all times prominently

Why the Leaves Turn.

mist the other day @The common and
oId-fashioned idea is that all the rel an.l
golden glory We see nov IS caused By
fFosts- A true and scientific explanation
Of the causes OF the eoloring Of leaves
would necessiiase a long and intricate
discussion. Stated briefly and ia proper
language, those causes are these The
green matter in the tissue OF 4 leaf Is
composed Of two e0loFs. red and blue.
When the sap ceases 10 Gov in the fall,
and the natural growth Of the tree ceases,
oxidation Of the tissue takes places. Tn
der certain conditions. the green Of the
leaf changes to red under different con
ditions it takes on a yellow or brown

the difference in combination Of the
