The Arrangement of Leaves.

The general arrangement of the leaves
on limbs and stalks of trees and plants
secures between each sufficient space tc
prevent one leaf from interfering with
another. And not only are leaves so ar
ranged as to exist Independently of each
other, but in a general way they have
taken upon themselves the forms best
adapted to secure the maximum of sun,
light as it is showered upon them in diff,
ferent ATTITUDES. At the equator, where
the suns rays are vertical, we find large
fat leaves, like those of the banana,
p~lantain and the various species of the
cactus.
Farther north, where sunlight strikes
at an angle, small leaves and pine
needles" are found. Then, again, note
the popularity of the Australian gum
tree-instead of exposing their broad
faces to the SUI the edges only are SO
turned. Were it otherwise the sun
would rob them of all their moisture, it
being a well known fact that the gum
tree grows in the driest region on earth.

The Hauteur of English Servants.

1 get ON charmingly with the English
nobility and sufficiently well with the
gentry, but the upper servants strike
terror to my soul. There is something
W inspiring to me about an English
butler, particularly one in imposing
livery. When call upon Lady de Wolfe,
I say to myself impressively as I go up
the steps: you are as good as a butler,
as well born and well bred as a butler,
even more intelligent than a butler
Now, simply because he has an unap-
prOachable hautiness of demeanor, which
you can respectfully admire, but can
never hope to initiate, do not cover be-
meath the polar light of his eye; assert
yourself; be a woman; be an American
citizen!' All in vain.
The moment the door opens l ask for
Lady de Wolfe in so timid a tone that
know Parke" thinks me the parlor maids
sister, who has rung the visitors bell by
mistake. If my lady is within, I follow
Parker to the drawing room, my knees
shaking under me at the prospect Of
committing some solecism in his sight.
Lady de Wolfe's husband has been no
BILE only four months, and Parker IL
course knows it and perhaps affects
even greater hauteur to divert the atten-
ton of the vulgar cOmmoner from the
newness of the title.-Kate D. Wiggin

Near tn Death.

The way the thing happened was this:
Our section had been fighting it alone in
a peach orchard until the other members
of the battery joined us, when we moved
forward and had quite a brisk engage
ment with the enemy. Our ammunition
expended and our men worn out, we
halted at a spot in the woods to rest and
to replenish Our ammunition.
The fighting was going on all around
Is, and stray bullets were coming along
past us every now and then. I don't be-
lieve | was ever so tired in my life as /
was after that engagement. 1t was alb
solutely necessary for me to take a rest,
and perceiving a huge tree near by l
concluded to plant myself along side of
it. So l leaned against it with my back
to the enemy's line, stretched out my
feet and was having a splendid rest when
a 12-pound shot came bounding along
and struck the tree plumb on the oppo-
site side from me and at a point just be-
hind my head.
Well, sir, l didn't know what struck
me. The shock was tremendous. Great
Jerusalem! But didn't run from under
that tree, looking sideways up and ex-
pecting momentarily to see the whole
enormous mass of wood and leaves come
crashing down on me. I didn't know
what had happened till I saw some of the
boys dancing around in high delight,
clapping their hands and yelling at me. l

About

One speaker, referring to the prevalent
ignorance about common things, said
that he once saw a laborer digging fints
in the chalk and asked himi if he thought
they grew.
No was the reply. Il don't think
about it; 1 knows they do"
"Then place a flint on your chimney
piece and see how much it grows in a
twelvemOntl."
"All right, sir, and do you do the same
with a later and see how much that
grows."-Youth's Companion.

January is known in Chicago as the

that mOnth.-Exchange.

MORE SCHOOL HOUSES.
MORE AND SMALLER BUILDINGS
NEEDED.
$500, 900 Wanted to Erect Buildings In

No New Grammar Schools.

At the last meeting OF the board OF al
dermen a resolution was introduced en-
powering the city of Providence TO petit
tion the general assembly for permission
to hire $500, 600 to be used for educational
purposes.
The demand for this money is made to
meet the expense OF building several new
public school houses and the purchase OF
pIats OF land for sites.
The rapid increase In the number OF
children of school age calls for the annual
building of several new school houses.
At least dozsn new buildings Will be
required within comparatively iew
months. There is an annual demand for
about iour lew buildings each year to
nest the wants OF our educational sys-
tenn. This year the growth has been
greater than ever aud a very lar Ie in
