Now here am in the good old place

But my heart came back to the sweet home

And rested with you when the day was done,
used to think what you had for tea;
Just what you were doing and how you were
dressed,
And somehow or other it seemed to me
You didn't take half enough rest,
You sly little mother, you spry little mother,
I'm going to have you rest.
Dear little mother, it brings the tears
Whenever think what I've let you do.
You've planned for my pleasure years and
years
It's time planned little for you.
So drop that apron and smooth your hair;
Read, visit or knit-what suits you best
Lean back in your chair. let go your care,
And really and truly rest.
You neat little mother, you sweet little moth

Just take a vacation and rest.

autumn Hues.

Many believe that the hues of the autum-
nal foliage are the results of frost-than
which, no greater error can be held relative
thereto. The observations of single sea-
son would serve to correct this common
error. if no tree were observed but the red
maple, (Acer ruJrOna) called also white
maple, soft maple, scarlet maple; growing
in low swampy grounds, and the first of the
naples to flower in spring, as it is first to
hang out its bright crimson or scarlet leaves
in autumn. 1t is not unusual to see the
leaves of this species of the maple change in
July and August to scarlet, while all the
trees about it are green and fresh no frost
has done this Sometimes as Mr.. Emerson
says, from whom we quote, a single limb will
show thescarlet, while all the other remains
green. Prof Gray says, 'leaves are not de-
stroyed by frosts, as is commonly supposed, for
they begin to languish and often assume
their autumnal tints. las happens with the
red maple) OF even fall before the earlier
frost and when vernal vegetation is de-
stroyed by frosts the leaves blacken and
wilber, but not fall off entirely, as they do in
autumn.
"The color of the leaves" says Wood in
his Botany, 'is due to minute globules or
grains called chIorOphyH (green leaf adher
ing to the inside of the cells, just beneath
the cuticle, and composed of carbon and
hydrogen, with small proportion of oxy-
gen." Their change of color in autumn is
stated by Macaire to depend upon the oxy-
dation. As the leaves in autumn absorb
more oxygen by night than they evolve by
day, an excess is generally added to the
chlorophyll. which changes the green to yell
low, orange, red, crimson, etc, according to
the quantity absorbed. The same effect
may be produced by acids. 1t is 10 chemical
action, then, rather than to Jack Frost, that
We are indebted for our splendid autumnal
scenery, as it seems to US, and has long so
been deemed by the writer No longer, we
say, attribute this beautiful change to frost,
which kills rather than beauties the foliage
of forest trees, as said by Prof. Gray, as
quoted above. Boston CaitiratOr.

ers. Boston.
Oliver Optics name is the signal fol
immediate awakening of interest in the
youthful mind an interest that realize:
spontaneously the worth of its cause and
which responds actively 10 the impetus OF
judiciously developed adventure.
The universal ambition, in training the
youthful idea how to shoot-that OF COM
bining enjoyment and profit, and as far
as possible afording practical Illustrations
could not be better exemplified than
in Oliver Optics plan as embodied in his
"All Over the World" series. Unlike
many other authors of books on foreign
countries, Mr.. Adams has visited all the
points of interest mentioned in his books
and writes from personal knowledge
Volumes written for the enjoyment OF
young people, their impeliing motive is
one of utility. The truest enjoyment is
not merely pleasure!
The latest volume, which is the second
volume of the second series, recounts the
further adventures of Louis Belgrave and
his faithful allies, in trip which begins
at Constanlinople and extends to many
islands of the Archipelago. The voyage
is continued to Athens, Corinlh, Delphi.
and the Ionian Islands.
The hero is the possessor of a luxurl-
Gus large yacht in which he, with his
mother, his tutor, and well chosen group
of friends are making a cruise around the
world, deyOting certain amount of time
each day to well-laid out studies, stopping
ever and anon at places along the coast,
and enjoying and profting by life scenes.
1t is an ideal way of living, for travel
more than anything else helps to trans
mute instruction into knowledge. OF
course it would be difficult to duplicate
the persons and circumstances grouped
by Mr.. Adams, and that is one reason for
the series individual value. The adven-
lures with which Louis so frequently
meets are colored by the atmosphere
adherent to varying lands and waters as
we cruise along with him into constantly
new scenes and situations-and are there
fore very fascinating reading. The de-
velopement of youthful characters Is ad-
mirably handled by the author, whose
prominent characteristics are too well and
widely known to need eulogy. But
every youthful reader who can will not
only read this volume of "All Over the
World" but will also await the future
volumes to add to his completed first
series.

A Sad Accident.

Greenport, June 17.-Mlss Leo
nora Ketchum, bright and pretty
girl of 16, Was drowned yesterday
afternoon while bathing with two
girl friends at ( heller Island Heights,
near the residence of Rev. ]. L.
Scudder the wellknown Brooklyn
preacher. The girls had ventured
out nearly beyond their depth and
were caught by strong tide that
carried them far from shore.
Miss Ketchum in her struggles was
carried off into deep water. One of
her companions, Miss Hattie Fisher,
swan out in desperate effort to save
the girls life, but she, too, became
unable to help herself and sank. A
boat put off from a passing vessel,
and after hard pull the occupants
reached the spot just in time to save
Miss Fisher as she was sinking for
the last time. Prompt measures
were resorted to and she was restor-
cd to consciousness in q short time.
Searching parties are patrolling
the beach and dragging in the vicin-
ity, but it is feared that the body of
the unfortunate victim was carried
out to sea by the tide.

THE NEW RAILROAD.
A Belief That it Will be Com
pleted in Two Years.

The organization of what is know
as the Denver, Salt Lake and Sal
Francisco railroad company is bein!
effected in Denver. Thirteen CAPT
talists who represent ever fifty mil
lions of dollars have taken the in
itiatlve in the movement, with ex-
Governor Evans at the head. Gov
ernor Evans is an experienced railroad
man, having built the South Park,
and the Denver, Texas & Gulf roads
He submitted report on the FEAST
billty of the proposed road to the
Denver chamber of commerce, and
insisted that money can be easily OBJ
tanned to build it. Denver peo-
pie will start the enterprise with a
few millions of dollars and bond can
readily be sold to complete the line.
Railroad papers bearing the names of
three such cities as Denver, Salt
Lake and San Francisco will be a
perfectly safe investments.
Denver business men are much
elated at the prospects, and the
opinion prevails that the Burlington
and Rock Island roads are backing
Governor Evans, as the presidents of
these roads have been visiting him
lately. Everybody believes in the
Denver, Salt Lake & San Francisco
railroad, and many citizens of Den
yer are so sanguine that they pre-
dict it will be completed within two
years.
John Evans is said to be the rich
est man in Colorado. Any scheme
in which he enters Is certain of at
tention of capitalists and he is always
ready to invest his own money to
forward any enterprise to which he
gives sanction. A few millions to
complete a section of the road will
doubtless be readily raised IN Den
yer, Salt Lake city, and possibly San
Francisco will give the company ma
terial assistance, and Nevada offers
SIS. 600 per mile toward building the
road through this State. This ought
to enable the company to dispose of
bonds for cash to complete the road,
which, with energetic men at the
head, would doubtless be rushed west
at the rate of a mile or more a day.

there was too much risk.
