The Art of Taking Leave.

When Madame de Stael visited Weimar
with the avowed intention of intellectu-
ally capturing the literary lions OF the day
Goethe and Sehiller-she made one fatal
mistake; she stayed too long. Goethe
wrote to Schiller: madame de Stael is a
bright, entertaining person, but she ought
to know when it is time to 60"
The art of leaving is less understood by
women than by men. The habits of bust
ness, the recognized fact that to business
man time is money, the tbrong an! press
and exactingness of business life, all tend
to make men who live in cities the best
possible exemplars of the fine art of leav-
ing quickly and neatly. A business mans
social call is usually a-lodel of good man
ners in this respect. When he has said
what he has to say and listened to what
there is to hear, he takes bis hat, says
good evening"" and Is out of your pres
ence without giving any time or chance
for the too often tedious and embarrassing
common places of mutual Invitations and
promises to call, which seem to be kind
of social formula with woman. In strik-
ing contrast with this neat and skillful
method of cutting short the pairing words
OF an interview or call is the too common
social practice of visitors who, commenc
ing to leave, seem temporarily to abandon
their purposes, and then linger as though
1t were kind of compliment to the visit
ing party to appear 10th to part company.

Why the Leaves Turn.

probably not one person ia thousand
knows why leaves change their color in
the fall, remarked an eminent botanist
the other day. 1.-The common and old
fashioned idea is that all this red and
N7lden glory we see now is caused by
frosts. A true and scientific ex PLANTATION of
the cause of the coloring of the leaves
would necessitate long and intricate dis
cussion. Stated briefly and in proper Ian
guage, those causes are these:-The green
matter in the tissue of leaf is composed
OF two colors, red and blue, When the
sap ceases to flow in the fall and the natu-
raj growth of the tree ceases, oxidation of
the tissue takes place. Under certain con-
ditions, the green of the leaf changes to
red; under different conditions, it takes
yellow or brown tint. The difference in
color is due to the difference in the com
bipation of the original constituents of the
green tissue and to the varying conditions
of climate, exposure and soil. A dry, cold
climate produces more brilliant foliage
than one that is damp and warm This is why
our American autumns are so much
more gorgeous than those of England
There are several things about leaves that
even science cannot explain. For instance,
why one of two trees growing side by side,
OF the same age and having the same ex-
posure, should take on q brilliant red in
the fall, and the other should turn yellow
or why one branch of q tree should be
highly colored ard the rest of the tree
have only yellow tint, are questions that
are as impossible to answer as why one
member of family should be perfectly
healthy and another sickly. Naples and
oaks have the brightest colors p Field
and Forest.

For the blessings we may scatter, the smiles we
@ may strew
Ger the pathway of life, where misfortune has
sown
A harvest of tares, for its bread, gave stone.
Let us live, while we live, let us ease every sigh
That springs from the heart, that steals to the

A mountain of diamonds that gratitude rears.
Let us live, while we live, not for fortune or

sThe worlds full of sorrow. life foil of distress
Don't give crumbs to the Starving, or tracts to

But work in the vineyard where your reward

Let us live, while we live for life is only dream,
river we cross, dark hidden stream,
Remorseless and sure, it speeds through the
gloom.
Its waters terror, its silence tomb.
Let us live, while we live, with the world at our
feet,
To gather the substance, the chaff from the
wheat,
The real from shadows, the gold from the dross,
A robe from the sackcoth, a crown from the

Let us live while we live, with smile in the

A hope in the soul that when we depart,
That o. hers will gather the roses of spriug.
And measure the moments by the good they may

A Bright Cat,

The girl employees of the Ansonia brass
company have a Cat which is an expert in
catching English sparrows. The cat is
fed from the dinner pals of the girls, and
after dinner it generally brings in a nice
plurp sparrow as dessert. Curiosity as to
how it caught the birds Sc regularly, was
aroused, and the cat was watched. One of
the girls had given it piece of bread, ard
pussy was seen to take it in it's mouth and
go out to the concrete walk in the yard,
where it chewed up the bread and placed
it on the walk. Then it hid behind some
boxes in the yard. Pretty soon hock or
sparrows alighted to eat the crumbs and
it took but one spring to land in the mid
die of the flock and capture one.-PAila-

Which Is Better :
A FAMILY OF BOYS OR OF GIRLS

There was great deal of truth in what
Martin Luther said to his wife Catharine,
when she was weeping convulsively over
the dead body of their daughter: do not
take on so, dear wife; remember that this
is very hard world for girls, and say
Gods will be- done"
1t was indeed true that girl who had
her own way to fight through life had a
difficult task cut out for her OF late ears
the task however is possibility, but
before woman had asserted herself and
took for her point of vantage the now un-
deniabla fact that she is in every respect
mans peer, it was indeed a matter of i'm
possibility for an unprotected female to
earn an honest living Now all these
things are changed and every woman who
carries herself through life in q womanly,
modest manner, not only has every chance
of pursuing whatever vocation she may
select, but also may rest assured that she
will have the protection OF every upright
man in the community. In nearly every
path of life where mere animal strength is
not necessary, woman is bravely and no.
bly, earning her living and clearly demon
strating that her brain power at least, is
equal to mans Many girls throughout
this continent are the main stay of their
homes
How is it with the boys2 Alas in too
many cases they turn out badly. The fond
hopes of parents are rudely dashed to
pieces, and the boy in whom all their hopes
were conferred goes headlong to ruin, either
MS haunter of barrooms or gambling dens
OF course this is not to be said of every
young man, there are many noble young
men who devote their entire life to the
care and support of their parents and sis
tiers, but these cases are the exception, not
the rule.
The question of (which is better, fam
lily of boys or of girls?" is one which at
the present time does not need one mo-
ments consideration to give an answer to.
In the upper strata of society where money
is matter not thought of, whether the
children God sends be boys or girls is a
matter of Indifference, but in the lower
grades of society where youths extrava-
gance materially helps to pauperize fam
lily, and where girls evenings 60 to en-
rich it-then indeed is a family of girls
preferable.-The Appeal.
