ous design Is wished. But great care
should be taken between each impress
sian -to-sas. thar. tha .leai -ia neither too
wet nor dry.
The leaf of the common scarlet ger
anium make a beautiful design. either
elngly or in groups; ivy is admirably
artistic and graceful, and ferns. either
OF the maiden-hair or common wood
variety, are very lovely when treated
in this manner. The maiden-hair fern
should be pressed between the leaves
Of a book or under a heavy weight for
few moments before mixing Au-
tumn leaves, crisp and curled, viii also
need pressing. but the irregularity OF
their outline adds much TO the beauty
Of the work.
Leaf Impressions may be artistical-
ly used upon almost any article which
needs decoration. Tiny graceful sprays
in the corner OF a handkerchief are
lovely; on the other hand, a bold de-
sign Of leaves and stalks decorate a
leather picture frame most charming
II. Picture frames may also be bought
ready to embroider and the leaf I'M
pressions be stamped on instead. In
this way the frame Is already prepared
and needs no finishing OF mounting.
Book or magazine covers Of gray linen
look especially lovely with the leaf
work upon them, and the designs need
not be confined to leaves alone. ANY
kind Of flowers, which may be opened
or doubled ard press fat, will serve
nicely, and a spray OF oxalis will fur
nish as nice a four-leaVed clover as
ever hid in a field. Two or three kinds
Of leaves may be obtained and the
work may be varied In countless ways.

NJ Bonnel de Mezieres, member OF

stratum OF water and form the natural
passage to the soudan, on which, with
very little trouble, vegetation can be
largely DEVELOPED. In the south OF
Temassinin and IN the Igharghars,
there are groves Of tamarind, gum
trees, ETC., two miles long scarcely
separated by grassy and cloyer-coyered
plains. The rivers. which IN spring
are full Of water, are from three to
ten miles wide. When the water re-

the fact OF the seeds planted near the
cisterns OF Tebalhalet, in spite OF the
inconsiderate manner in which the Tu-
aregs get in the harvest The Tuaregs
often assured our expedition that we
should have to march two OF three

soon we found a little out of the path

fruits and nuts have the least proper

comes next, then vegetables, and fourth
in rank we have cereals and pulses,
which are shown to have the largest

analysis we see that fruits as distinct
from vegetables have the least amount
OF earth salts. Most Of them contain
a large quantity Of water, but that
water is Of the purest kinda distilled
water Of nature-and has in solution
vegetable albumen.
We also notice that they are to a
great extent free from oxidized albu-
mems -glutinous and fbrinous sab
stances; and many OF them contain

years when apples are abundant the
sweet varieties are likely ia manv

Many varieties are better and richer
for eating raw. while for baking whole
the sweet apple is certainly superior
One Of the best ways Of eating baked
sweet apples is with milk. Sour appIes
when baked are too acid for this and
besides. they break down IN cooking
and thus their juices dissolve in the
milk. while the slices Of baked apple
retain their shape and distinctive

Important to Supervisors.

A Luzerne county jury has rem
dered verdict, which, unless upset,
may prove OF wide application. The
case was that of woman and her
husband against the Township OF
Lehman for damages. The woman
and her husband one night, in the
winter Of 1895, were on their way to
attend a grange meeting. AT GER
tain point along the road snow had
drifted and frozen to a solid mass, so
that when the sleigh stuck it there
was an upset anG the woman was so
severely injured that she has been an
invalid ever since. The jury strug-
gled with the matter some forty hours
and finally awarded the woman 81, 900
and the husband $II3 for the loss of
his wlfe's services. The figures are
not high for the extent of the dam
ages apparently done, but the fact
that there was any recovery at all,
fixed upon the township the response
bility for keeping the roads clear and
safe for travel. In very few sec
tions of the state is any attempt made
by the authorities to clear the roads
of snow and Ice.
