MISCELLANEOUS.

Through the AppletOns, F. Schuyler

panion volume to his very admirable
book Of two years ago on the Familiar
Flowers Of Field and Garden" 1t is
called Familiar Trees and Their
Leaves" and 1t contains, In addition to

his preface, who may not think that a
leaf Is a thing Of beauty. Leaves cer-
tainly are common. but they are far
from common place. II We doubt this.
let us try to draw or paint a single leaf.
One may draw ever so carefully and
well. yet he cannot tell with the pencil
or the brush all the truth and beauty Of
one leaf Its color Is too waxen and
pure to be initiated by earthly pig
ments: its outline is too subtitle. Its
teeth are too finely and vigorously
formed, and It's veins are too infinitely
complex for one to copy with absolute.
life.like accuracy. Yet this work of
Natures wonderful art Is common; the
world is filled with untold billions Of
leaves, no two of which are exactly
alike" The object Of the present vol.
ume Is to bring some Of these common
but yet wonderful and too often un-
recognized truths Of Nature home to the
eyes and to the minds of men and wo.
men who are willing to give a little
time, now and then, to Mr.. Schuyler's
instruction.

In Mr.. Canton we have q big hearted

smoothly as that Of his contemporaries; {;
it Is certainly unlike the orthodox glib
berish which not infrequently passes
muster In nursery Jingle. Essentially
!oet Of the nursery, he sings to men
and women Of their children-he sweeps
the harpsichord OF the heart and touch

responsiveness the latent affection re-

A QUESTIONABLE COMPLIMENT
Particularly Hard ON the Bishop and
Not Pleasant for the Senator.
From tho N'aahinpton Times

Not Pleasant for the Senator.
From the Washington Times.
Bishop Lawrence, Of Massachusetts,.
was up at the capitol the other day, and
his presence recalled to the mind Of a
good Episcopalian senator story
which the bishop told on himself. At
the time of the story the bishop was
dean OF the seminary at Cambridge.
Phillips Brooks had just been elected
bishop, and had accepted. when one
fine morning President Eliot, Of Har-
ward, met Dean Lawrence on the street
'The church has made the greatest
mistake Of q lifetime" said the presi-
dent to the dean. Brooks was the
pivot around which we revolved in Bos-
ton. Now YOU have spread him out all
over Massachusetts. I tell you 1t Is q
mistake. a great mistake; any one
would do for bishop"
Time rolled Oh and death claimed
Bishop Brooks. and later Dean Law
renee was chosen his successor. A few
days after he again met President Eliot,
and the latter was almost warm in his
congratulations.
MY dear bishop" he said. II must
congratulate you. The church couldn't
have made better selection. thought
you should have been the choice when
Brooks was chosen"
The bishop laughs as heartily as any
one over the incident.
