LEO SUPPORTS GERMANY's ACTION
Pope Extends His concentrations to
the Emperor.


Copyright, 1895 by the Associated Press)
BERLIN, Jan. bishop Amer of South
lShan Tung China, dined with the emperor
and empress at the new palace on Tuesday.
On the following day the bishop, to whose
shrewd advice and detailed information re-
garding the whole province of Shan Tung,
in which Kiao Chau is situated, the German
government owes much, gave an interesting
account of the occurrences of the previous
evening and of the audience he was accorded
IVY the emperor in November and also told
of his audience with the pope a fortnight ago
The bishop, who has been thirty-four years
in China, and who is about to return, said'
'rhere is no doubt Germany means to keep
Kiao Chau and it's contiguous territory; and
if the right measures are taken, 1t VIII prove
a most valuable possession, even more Valu-
able than Hong Kong, because its mineral

Fat and Lenn-How to Remedy Tend
ency Either Way.
There are always women eager to be-
come thin and others eager to become fat,
but it is admitted among physicians that
it is easier to reduce flesh than to increase
it. 1t may be rubbed off, exercised off,
sweated off, starved off if the victim has
resolution enough to submit to q continu-
Gus course Of such treatment, but there are
many cases where no amount Of thought
and effort will succeed in putting flesh on.
1t is Of course, easier to undertake to cor
rect emaciation when the cause of it is
known. Where it is constitutional, the
case is we'll nigh hopeless, but where it
arises from dyspepsia, insufficient nutri-
ton or nervous worry there is better
chance of combating IL. Anxiety is a POI
tent source OF evil in this respect, as It Ge-
stroys the appetite, weakens digestion and
induces sleeplessness.
Anybody who wishes to grow plump
should eat as much nourishing easily di-
gested food as possible, drink milk, cream
and beer, exercise only enough to keep in
health, avoid all mental exertion and
worry and sleep great deal Very hot
baths should not be taken often, as they

rhorns and Spies That Protect Plants
From Their Enemies.

rhorns and Spies That Protect Plants
From Their Enemies.
'sPlants and Their Enemies is the
title of an article by Thomas H. Kear-
ney, Jr, in ST. Nicholas Mr. Kearney
says:
There are a thousand things that
threaten the well being and even the
life of every tree and shrub and lowly
herb. Too much heat or too little works
great harm to plants Then there are
all manner of wasting diseases caused
by other tiny plants called fungi and
bacteria. Many large animals, as horses
and COWS and sheep, live by grazing the
heritage and grass or browsing the foil
age of trees and shrubs OF course they
greatly inJure the plants they feed upon
and therefore many plants are in one
way or another protected against such
attacks
Did you ever stop to think why this
ties are SO we'll armed with sharp prick
les or why the ugly roadside nettles are
furnished with singing hairs? Notice
cattle grazing in a field where thistles
or nettles grow. See how careful they
are to let those disagreeable plants
alone That Is the reason for the stings
and the spines. See this honey locust
tree bristling with it's horrid array of
three pointed thorns. What animal is
brave enough to try to rob it of its
leaves or great pods? Hawthorns, too,
and rosebushes and blackberry briers
all have their sharp little swords and
daggers to defend themselves against
browsing animals.
Out on the wide, hot deserts of Ari-
zona and New Mexico those odd plants,
the eactuses, grow in great numbers.
Some of them take strange shapes-tall.
Huted columns, branching candelabra or
nero round balls, like the melon cactus.
They are almost the only plants that grow
in some parts of that country, and there is
always plenty of sap inside their tough
skins TO the hungry and thirsty crea-
lures that roam those 5reary wastes in
search of food and water they are very
sempting. Were they not in some way
protected these cactuses would soon be
entirely destroyed, but nature has made
shem to be like strong forts or great
armored battleships among plants. They
are guarded by all sorts of sharp spines
and priclzles and fine hairs that burn
when they get into tho flesh.
