His wife complained of the same trouble.
II she left any change out for the milkman

This was the state of affairs one morning

another year the work so well done IN the

more than ordinary interest, for it is neccs-

make all preparations for the next interna

previous to this vision she did not believe
in supernatural occurrences, had always
been of a lively disposition. enjoyed excel

mind and body. had never seen a real
skeleton nor the representation of one. nor
had she any dread of death. This horri-
BILE phantom continued it's visits to her
boudoir every night for two years r:
always appeared about 10:3o while she
was preparing for bed. Her room was
lighted on every OCCASION. The coffin ap-
peared to be one that had been used, and
although entreated each night by her ter

the courage to do so.

doubtless to its former long period of yist-

When seen in the hospital 1t was gazing
in through window opposite her bed. Sne

but presently heard an exclamat ton from
fellow patient-a woman occupying the
bed next to hers. Without pretending that
she had also seen anything. she asked this

replied That thing all bones!' A doctor

either woman what they had seen. About
an hour later nurse came into the ward
laughing, being amused at the doctor. who,
she said, had Eeen scared a something, and
had asked her 10 accompany him into the
d:ssecting room. where a subject was lying
dead. for he was afraid to go alone. He
told her that he had had a dreadful scare
in the ward about hour before. but
would not tell what it was. being in all
probability, afraid of ridcule The society

Cut the branch Off and plant it. When the

the same variety Of leaves each autumn.
Most of our highly variegated foliage
in this manner through many generatfo ls.
Mr. Woods preserves leaves Of various
kinds, each Of which may be kept for mary
years as an object lesson illustrating some
particular SYMPTOM Of plant disease: He
therefore can give some valuable sugges-
ttons to those who have the fad Of collect
ing autumn leaNes.
To Dry the Leaves.
Soon after they are gathered, he says.
they should beidried by pressure between
two sheets of blotting paper laid fiat On
table and held down by heavy books. AL
Of the moisture Should be taken out in from
three to four hours after they are first
subjected to this,treatment. After this pro-
cess they will retain their color for years,
provided they are not subjected to the d.
rect reys Of the sun. If leaves are not
thoroughly dried. however, they will soon
turn brown all over.
It is a remarkable fact that almost the
whole weight of leaves is due to the water
which they hold. For instance, in one hun
dfed pounds OF fresh meadow grass there as
often as much as eighty pounds of water.
One hundred pounds of lettuce or cabbage
leaves have been found to contain some
times ninety-e!ght pounds of water. All OF
this must be pressed out If the color Of
the leaves is to be preserved.
An interesting experiment lately discover
ed by botantsts is what is known as leaf
photography" Take a leaf and soak it Iii
alcohol until all Of its green color disap-
pears. Afterward soak in water solution
OF iodine and the starch grains will become
blue. After this dry the leaf, and 1t Will
appear transl l,lcent. By holding over ssnsi-
ard will print beautiful photographs of the
original leaf when held in the sunlight.

schaffer is proving great drawing card at the Wonderland. It is prob ably true that the biggest crowds of the season have been seen there this week. So extraordinarily phenomenal is his juggling, and so marvellous his exhi- bition of equipoise, that everyone re- alizes in seeing him that they are really gazing upon the most wonderful special ist in his line the world has ever seen. He easily sets at defiance apparently all laws of gravitation. And the rest of the performance is of a piece with Schaffer's. Miss Jennings in her scien- tif1c glove encounter with MT. O'Brien shows how we'll woman may learn to take the splendid physical exercise of sparring, and how graceful such exer- else can make her in all her movements. Little Miss Annie Mabel O'Brien, the Deagons, Francis Bryant, the Misses Burt and Bennett, Johnson, Davenport and Lorella, the Vidocqs, and Haynes and Redmond, present their specialties which insure solid fun to all who visit the Wonderland.
