Color of Autumn Lcnvcs.

Why is it that in autumn the leaves
of some of the forest trees exhibit u
brilliant livery OF crimson while OF ers
exhibit only Il yellow or golden glu.y?
L. =. keegan. in Il recent letter to Ma
ture. offers tentative hypothesis as
follows. lie says:
ut is known by analysis that the per.
centage of ash increases through nearly
the whole life of the leaf in beech, syc.
amore, elm, but not in oak. larch, cher
ry, etc. Ii depends a good deal on
.Thether some one ash constituent (gen-
orally lime or silicaj is being steadily
stored up. The dry leaf of the common
maple OH May / has 6 per cent and in
October 1G.2 per cent ash. The dry
leaf of the wild cherry has on April 2S
rs per cent. and on Oct. . 10 per cent
ash. Now the leaf of the former tree
is only yellow in autumn. and never
red. while that of the latter is very
often beautifully crimson. In the for.
mer case there is kind of gradual do
cay or death of some of the cells (most.
ly of the upper external skim, which
occasions n drainage of mineral and
organic substances TO these parts from
the still living tissues. and this drain.
:ge seems to have a distinct influence
over the ultimate autumnal coloring of
the leaf itself. 1t is easy to understand
that the leaves which exhibit such a
decay are just those wherein the
chromogen precursive of the brilliant
red coloration would likewise suffer an
analogous kind of change, i. e., it would
tend to become brown, to produce
phlobaphene, just as it does in the outer
bark. which is the practically dead por-
tion Of the rind.
"Where this accumulation of mineral
matter does not take place, as in cher.
ries, currants. American oaks, pears,
wild vine, barberry, ETC., the cLormo.
gen does not deteriorate into simple
yellow or dull brown; 1t evolves its
proper pigment, and assumes the flush
and glow Of active living color"

Peril OF Young Pianists.

German physicians are considering
the best modes of treating a disease
which they have found to affect MANY
young pianists in that music-loving
country. AT the recent medical con.
gress in Berlin considerable attention
was devoted to this subject by the as
sembled scientists. Many of them de-
clared that the disease is one of the
brain and analogous to that which af.
tlicts copyists, who write much. and
violinists. who use their fingers a great
deal. One distinguished surgeon de
clared that he had several times dis.
covered an excessive inflammation of
the nerves of the arms, which was the
direct result of too much piano playing
He also said that young girls who at
tend Conservatives of music are liable
to suffer from special weakness he.
cause their hands are not large enough
for the exercises which they are re.
quired to practice, and that for this
reason 1t might be advisable to con-
struct pianos somewhat smaller than
the ordinary ones specially adapted for
the use of young girls who are requir-
ed to practice good deal.

Pros for ALL

During the late campaign the opDo-
sition charged that the boasted Me
Kinley prosperity" was only anon q the
capitalistic classes. and that little or
none of it filtered down through the
masses of the people. The majority of
the people did not accept this view, as
was evidenced by the result of the
voting. The election is now over, and
there is no object in misrepresentins
the situation, therefore the following
dispatch, which was recently sent from
Omaha, Neb., is interesting:
80 scarce has manual labor become
through the West that employment
agents representing railroads operatinp
west of the Missouri have been sent to
New YORK and other Eastern cities to
secure men to work on the tracks and
grades through Nebraska. Wyoming
and Utah. I" Wages of railroad
workers are now $3.50 per day and
board throughout the West. This is
double what this form of labor has
commanded in past years. Not
in the history of the West has railroad
labor been SO difficult to secure us to-
day. On every hand railroad work has
been suspended because the labor can
not be secured"
Prosperity for workingmen has been
sometimes described as that condition
where two or more jobs are looking for
one man, instead of two or more men
looking for one job. If this is cor

Lost Their Goo,, Clothes.

The Democrats did not appreciate
good issues when they saw them. They
could have got ON the right side of the
currency and 'impcrialst" questions as
we'll as the Republicans could. But
they wandered off after strange gods,"
as MI. Cleveland puts it. To change the
figure. they are like little boys who
have been swimming in unclean Wa
ters. who weary of their venture after
a while and want to be good" but on
emerging from their braclsish pool find
that certain other little boys, who have
had no desire to swim in disagreeable
waters. havcappropriated their clothes.
There appears to be nothing left for the
Democracy to do but to be as good as it
can and hope for new habiliments.-

The DUTY OF MOTHERS.

What suffering frequently results
from u mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughterl
Tradition says ''woman must SUI
fer" and young women are so taught.
There is little truth and a great deal
of exaggeration in this. If young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment, and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examina-
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
