Tho Fiji of Leaves.

According TO Professor Trelease,
three moro or less distinct periods arc
observed in ting fall of leaves. Tho
first period, wi ch preccdes tho prin-
Opal fall by ainut week, ia marked
by the loss of tSifTsnve of tho small
branches; during the second, tho
tree loses tho majority of its lenvos
and preserves but few isolated onos,
situated in most casos upon branches
that are protected during summer and
gradually disappear in the course of
the third period.
A writer in tho Gardeners Magazine
offers tho following explanation us to
the fall of leaves:
1t seems strange that the fall Of
leaves sometimes occurs at the ap-
pronch of cold and sometimes at riso
in temperature; but the heat and cold
aro merely secondary causes--the
principal cause being tho danger that
the continuation of Transportation offers
the plant. In autumn, tho absorbing
activity of the roots is 30 reduced by
the low temperature OF the earth that
the water lost in consequence of the
Transportation is compensated for with
difficulty.
The fall of tho leaves 10 prepared
for by the formation OF special
layer of what is called separating
cells, which consist OF parenohymous
tissue, and the walls of which nre SO
constructed as to permit of being
easily destroyed under tho influence
of chemical or mechanical agents. As
soon Us the restriction of transpira-
ton becomes necessary, these walls arc
dissolved by organic acids, aud tho
continuity is destroyed; 30 that the
least breath of air .sulfices to produce a
separation and cause the leaves to
fall. -Scientifio American.

DRY PICKING FOWLS.

When tho dressing place is solicited,
drive two spikes about foot apart in
o beam overhead. Mako two loops Of
strong string, each long enough to
hold ono leg Of tho fowl, and when
hung from the nails above let tho bird
hang low enough to mako picking
handy. Have n weight OF two or
three pounds with hook attached.
When the bird is killed faston tho
hook into tho lower jaw to hold tho
bird steady whilo picking.
Whom you arc ready to kill your
fowl, catch it, and if its feet aro soilod
wash them, then suspend it by the
two legs from tho nooses. Take hold
of it's head, and with asharp knifo out
tho yoin at back of throat, through
tho mouth. Never do this from tho
outside. AS soon as you cut tho voiu,
run point OF knife through roof OF
mouth into tho brain. As soon rs tho
knife enters tho brain, the bird loses
oil sense of feeling. Begin. pluclling
at once.
To dry pick fowls properly the work
must BIO done whilo thoy arO bleeding.
The picking oan also DO much moro
easily dono whilo tho bodies are warm.
Uso oare that the skin DO not torn or
broken. Farm, Field and Firosido.

the Bast.side park in Paterson, N. j.
But Grover has been behaving very
badly lately and does not seem to bo

by Joseph Jefferson. 1t was named
after the President. Grover has grown

himself up, while his companions stand

Japanese Athletics.

l. Athletics hold an important but

ing of all the students in district to
engage in athletic contnsts. In those
seen by Mr.. Hearn, and described in
"Glimpses of Unfamiliar Japan" six
thousand boys and girls from oil tho
schools within distance of twonty-
five miles were entered to take part.
A circular raco track, roomy enough
for ON army, allowed four different
kinds OF games to be performed ut tho

runners OF different schools. and races
in which tho runners were tied to-
