1t is generally supposed that leaves
fall IN the autumn because they die.
This is not q correct view. If we
break of q leafy branch the leaves
will soon wither, but not drop off.
In fact, they will cling TO the dried
branch with greater tenacity than
when they were green and alive, re-
quiring some force to wrench or
twist them off. In tropical climates
they remain green much longer than
in temperate countries, and their
fall, when it does take place, is not
Just before the cold season, but dur
ing tho hot dry season. Many of our
own trees, as oaks and hornbeams,
retain their leaves dried and with
cred till the pressure of the new
distending bud in spring displaces
them.
AS in man the seeds of his decay
are born with him, so in the leafbud
there may be discovered the rudi-
ments of a very delicate layer of
cells, whose plane is at right angles
to the plane of the leaf. When the
time comes, this upright growth Of
cells enlarges, pushing from above
downward, cutting through the
woody fibers of the stem like knife
blade, Thereafter,

The crown prince of Denmark is
the idol of the army. One day when
the military maneuvers were pro-

camp after the active du5ies OF the
day were over he found a crowd O.
soldiers gait cred about a woman who
had brought in a cartful of buns to
sell.
1t would be pay day next morning,
and the soldiers had not even money
enough to buy penny bun. Still it
was evidently comfort to crowd
about the cart and inhale the warn
odor of the delicacy which they could
not otherwise enjoy, and no one
noticed the crown prince until he
was close upon them.
"What is the price of your buns.

"A penny apiece, sir" said she.
Very well, I'll buy the CARLOAD.
Get my treasurer to pay you. And
you, my soldiers, you have worked

a palatable dessert after supper"

The oharaeter of Cleopatra.

What was Cleopatra's inner char
acterl A voluptuous woman of the
east, say the Romans, eager to en-
chain any master of a Roman army
by the foulest arts; but the Roman
ohgarchy rot only hated but dread
ed Cleopatra. To them she was not
only Asia incarnate, but the. repre-
sentative of that regal" sway, that
rule by volition instead of by tradi-
tional order, which, with their states
manlike instinct, they saw the tri-
umphant aristocrat whom their sys-
tenn tended to produce would ulti-
mately desire.
They cursed her as the greatest of
Asiatic harlots, whereas she was a
Greek, and much more like Mary
Stuart, as her enemies have painted
her, a woman unscrupulous in graft
flying her fancies, careless even of
murder when needful-Cleopatra
murdered her brother husband, Just
as Mary murdered her cousin hus-
band-but who used her charms
chiefly as instruments to attain her
ends, which were, first of all. the
empire of the east, which her an
cestors had striven for generations
to acquire-and very nearly ac-
quired TO defeat the half civi-
lied and headless Roman power,
which she hated with the hatred of
a monarch and despised with the
contempt of true Greek. London

A lion tanner named Lorange, who
was giving an exhibition of his skill
in a wild beast show at Levallols-
Perret, some time ago had a very
narrow escape. The air ut the time
was heavily laden with electricity,
and the animals were in consequence
sullen and morose. Lorange entered
the cage nevertheless, but when he
endeavored to put a lioness through
her tricks the beast flew at his throat.
He succeeded in beating her off, but
she took asecond spring and fastened
on his arm, burying her teeth in his
flesh. Smelling blood the other lions
became irlitated, but Lorange sue
ceeded in keeping them at bay for a
few moments, during which he seized
the lioness' throat with his free hand
and released tho other arm. He then
beat a hasty retreat, and was fortu-
nate enough to get out of the cage
without further injury. : London

HIS POINT OF view.
A Woman Nrver Does Things by Halves
In Shopping.

A woman Nrver Does Thtngs Dy Halves
In Shopping.
Women have the reputation of
never doing things by halves. If any
man has an idea they do. let him join
one of the fair sex ON shopping tour
and his mind will be at rest forever
on the subject.
The women on shopping bent dons
her street apparel Immediately after
her breakfast, so as to avoid the
rush" and sallies forth.
s-.a generally wants some trifing
thing which might be bought at
some of The smaller shops up town.
But no, she prefers to go down town
for her goods. She recks not how
hot and crowded the l. cars are, for
the joys of shopping are ahead of her.
She has no list of what she needs
or, rather, what she wants-for,
mark you, there is vast difference
between her wants and needs.
1t is a popular belief that man born
of woman is of few days and full of
muscle, but for unlimited muscle
and unbridled energy your shopping
woman is vastly any mans superior.
The man who attends the fair
shopper generally does SO in half
apologetic manner, probably for fear
some woman may think he is shop
ping ON his own account.
Arrived at their destination his en-
ergetic companion rushes madly
ahead, now pausing to look at some
filmy Observation-Disclosures thirty
nine, now nineteen"-then rattling
over bushel of scissors piled on a
counter, while he, superior being,
stalks alowly behind, scarcely noting
anything.
The shopper usually fetohes up at
some far away counter, and as the
clerk steps up to attend, the man
companion seats himself on one of
those abolninable perforated stools
common to shops frequented by
women.
"Thanlg, no." he answers the in
curing clerk, and his significant
glance at his shopping friend satisfies
that individual.
He's not shopping.
But meanwhile the woman is.
She shops all around that stool for
three-quarters of an hour, and the
man gets tired and swings on his
perch. Occasionally there is a smile
on the woman's face as she glances
at her waiting escort. He smiles
back in q sicllly way.
Now she finishes and starts away,
and jov springs up in the waiting
mans heart-and swear word in
his mouth, for one Cf the brass tacks
in the stool on which he sat has
snagged his coat tail.
IIe is mad but the dear little wo-
man is 20 happy with her bargains
that be mutters only under his
breath, and is glad to lie once more
out in tho fresh air and sunlight,
The amount OF the woman's pur-
chase is twenty-four cents and the
time consumed over two hours, but
that IS the way women shop.
Perhaps it is because they do not
carry tho purse" and like to prolong
the joy of spending money, ike a
child with q few sweets.
Nevertheless they never do it BY
halves. Cor. New York Recorder.
