THE FALL OF THE lEAF.
How Thoroughly Nature Prepares for
Her OF Season.

How Thoroughly Nature Prepares for
Her OF Season.
DR.. Andrew Wilson writes in the
Illustrated London News: 1.-THE story
of the fall of the leaf is an interesting
one. 1t teaches us how nature pre-
pares for her off season, in one re-
spect at least. The vitality of the leaf
is lessened. Its sap no longer suffices
for it's nourishment, and even if the
vital fluid were supplied to the leaf it's
cells, worn out, are no longer capable
Of utilizing the noutishment afforded.
Then comes a time when nutri-
ton fails. 1t is not demanded and ma
ture cuts off the supply. Changes now
ensue in the structure of the leaf. We
find layer of corky substance
formed between the leaf-stalk and the
branch. Cork is always in plants, a
tissue Of low vitality; when it is fully
formed it represents practically a dead
substance. This layer, therefore,
serves as the boundary line between
that which Is living in the plant and
that which is dead or dying in the leaf.
Then comes dryness, always fatal to
plant tissues. The corky layer shows
a line of demarcation which rapidly
becomes more and more distinct and
finally the breath of the autumn winds
causes the separation to be complet-
ed and the dead leaf falls to the
ground"

All Right Now, But What Of the
Future2

Future7
At the recent launching In Phila.
delphia of the armored cruiser Penn.
sylvania, John D. Long, the former sec.
rotary of the navy, told an amusing
yarn about a sailor.
Il used to know" he said, in my
boyhood in Maine a sailor of a relig.
1ous cast of mind. This sailor and a
magistrate once took me fishing.
II had good luck and so had the
sailor, but the magistrates luck was
very poor. He didn't get nibble. Dur
ing the time hauled in eight fish and
the sailor seventeen, the magistrate's
cork never so much as bobbed. He sat
on the bank with nothing to say, smok-
ing moodily.
'Suddenly. he hooked a tremendous
fish-a five-pounder at least. Just as he
was about to land this fish his line
broke and it got away.
He dashed down his pipe, and for
several minutes he swore dreadfully
The sailor took him to task.
You ought to be ashamed he said,
magistrate like you, one that's sup.
posed to set an example, cursing and
swearing like a street rowdy-before
this here boy, too. You, magistrate!
oh, it amt as magistrate that
I'm swearing. It's as a fisherman,
says the other.
That's all right about that now,
said the sailor, but in the hereafter,
when the devil takes the fisherman,
what will become of the magistrate?' "

For a Bad Back.

Sabra, Montana, Oct. ia great
many men in this neighborhood used
to complain Of pains in the back, but
now scarcely one can be found who
has any such trouble
Mr.. Gottlieb Mill is largely respon-
sible for the improvement, for it was
he who first Of all found the remedy
for this backache. He has recon.
'mended it to all his friends and neigh.
bors. and in every case it has had
wonderful success.
Mr.. Mill Says
For many years I had been trou.
bled with my Kidneys and pains in
the small of my back. I tried many
medicines but did not derive any bene.
fit until last fall, when I bought a
dozen boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
After using them a few days l began
to improve, my back quit aching and
felt better and stronger all around.
II will keep them in the house right
along for in my opinion they are the
best medicine in the market to-day,
and If my back should bother me
again, will use nothing else."

An Early to Bed CITY,

In Vienna every mans home is
practically his prison from 10 o'clock
at night until 6 in the morning. The
Austrian capital is city of flats, and
at 10 o'clock each night the entrance
door of each block is locked. Any
one passing in or out after that time
must pay the concierge a fine, the
amount of which is twopence up till
midnight and fourpence from then till
6 in the morning. Going out to post
a letter after 10 clock entails the
payment of two fees, one for being let
out and another for being let in,
while prolonging visit to friends
after 10 o'clock would also involve two
nnes, the first mat one might quit
the friends house and the second that
one might enter ones own. The re-
suit of this irritating tax is that Vienna
is the earliest to-bed capital in Europe.

BOUGHT ART TO DESTROY 1T.
Man of Wealth Who Would Have No
Reproduction of His Pajntinos

Man of Wealth Who Would Have No
Reproduction of His Paintings.
The attendants in the art gallery OF
department store in Brooklyn were
startled the other day to see man
deliberately destroy two pictures that
he had just purchased at a cost OF
SAT. The man is wealthy and aims to
have a collection Of art objects that
have no duplicates. He had pur-
chased In the art gallery that was the
scene Of his vandalism a painting for
which he paid 81, 900. After it was sent
home he was showing it to a friend,
who, knowing the collectors weak
ness, told him he had seen two repro.
auctions Of the painting in the same
gallery, one priced at $35 the other $l2
go and buy them for me-" said the
collector, and when you get them
break them up. I'll give you check
for SAT before you go home"
The friend declined the task, so the
collector went to the store himself,
pointed out the two pictures, and
after he had paid for them destroyed
them on the spot.
This same man ordered table with
a carved top, for which he paid 5000,
and after it had been finished he went
to the artist who had designed it and
stood by him while he destroyed the
original drawings for the table. That
was part of the contract, and he meant
to see it carried out-New York Press.

The Amber Industry.

The other day it was reported from
Prussia that, though the amber indus
try had been dull of late, the trade in
imitation amber had been highly sat-
isfactory. It now seems, smokers will
be interested to know, that even the
briar root pipe is net what it is sup
posed to be. The briar root of COM
merce is the root OF the large grow
ing heath. Briar in this connection
is said to be corruption of 'bruy-
ere" (heath).
The briar root industry has had a
somewhat curious history. First be-
gun in the Pyrenees some fifty years
ago, it travelled along the French Ri
vie-a and the Ligurian coast (taking
Corsica by the way), and reached Cal
abrla in the south. By the very ma
ture OF the business, when a certain
district has been exhausted of all its
roots, the industry must come to an
end there. The Italian branch is not
expected to survive more than ten
years.
