her, but undoubtedly be of service TO many
others. 1t was a praisewOrthy undertake

amply repaid for her interchangeable efforts.
A reporter of the Press hearing of her sue

her.
Miss Noble seemed cheerful, hopeful and
in the best OF health. Apparently she had
not suffered any i'll effects from her efforts
which were reported to have done much
good.
About two years ago she accompanied her
parents to the west, and resided among the

done in the hopes that her health might be
improved, as she was suffering from an9mia.

PAINTING SPOTS ON CIGARS.
The Choicest Tobacco Leaf Is Close

From the New York Journal


From the New York Journal.
please give me one of those cigars
with the spots on said the man as he
leaned over the case and began looking
over the stock with that air of the ex-
pert that every man assumes when buy
ing cigars.
The box of speckled cigars was handed
out. and the patron. really plying men
who cant tell tobacco when they see it,
filled his pocket and retired where none
of the ignoramuses should even have a
Whit of the second hand smoke.
"a name got a right to think he knows
it ALL" said the clerk as he pushed the
speclled cigars back into the case. you
see that chap has been told by some one
that the choicest leaves of the weed in all
the world are those which come from
one section in Cuba and are the bottom
leaves on the plants The rain pounds
the sand into these leaves, and the sand
makes them speckled. The speclxles don't
make the leaves any better, but it hap
pens that the speckled leaves go only
into the very best goods.
1.-THE smokers who ask for the speckled
cigars-with the green spots-have heard
about this way of telling good cigars, ard
50 they try to work It, A wise little man
on the west side noticed this fad and
started to think on it. He told his firm
about q plan to make a dye which would
look like the sand spots on the Cuban
leaves. He worked and finally secured
a solution which makes the deception abso-
lutely safe and perfect.

WHY LEAVES TURN AND FALL.
The Causes of Brilliant COlOred Fol.
iaEe in the Autumn.

From the Baltimore Sun.
DR.. Rolling W. Barton. lecturer on bot
any at the Johns Hopkins University, said
yesterday In regard to the falling of the
leaves in autumn and the brilliant colors
characteristic of so many of them:
"The leaves of most of our trees fail in
the autumn because 1t would be poor econ
omy on the part of the plant to retain
them. They would be worn and torn by
the cold the SHOWS, the sleet and the gales
OF the harsher period of the year. The
weight of the snow and sleet would break
the limbs, and the winter gales would tear
them TO shreds or dry them into brittle
and useless appendages. Note the trees
that hold to their leaves in wlnter-the
evergreens-and It viii be seen that such
leaves are tough and leathery, else reduc-
ed to mere needless as in the pines
Most trees, therefore shed their leaves,
cast them off by an act OF amputation or
sloughing, and cover the scar with a lay
err of cork. which stops bleeding and ex-
cludes hurtful spores or germs. But be-
fore they fab they assume the splendid
colors for which we are just now watch
ing from day to day-such wondrous col
or displays as atone in part for the loss
of summer and the dreaded sight of blue
nosed winter standing just beyond.
THE strangest part of these yearly
shows OF brilliant foliage which nature Of
fers is that it all seems to be without
meaning or, as the naturalists would put
Il, 1t has no special biological significance.
1t is mere incident in the later life and
the death of the leaves. Color in flowers
makes of them organs of alurements TO
insects birds, etc, which visit them for
no, nd in
service OF pollination. Color i'm fruit like
wise makes 1t conspicuous and secures
free transportation by sundry animals,
which thus scatter the seed. But the
hues of autumn foliage means little more
IA the lives Of the pants than do the color
Of precipitates in the test tubes of the
chemist.

the dying leaf we must know something
