EXRrRreenA.

The leaves of green plant are chief
ly useful as feeding organs, which util-
lie sunlight in building up plant sub
stance from water, carbonic acid gas
and simple salts. Deciduous forms and
evergreens have been evolved on diff
ferent lines as regards foliage.
On the approach of autumn the for
mer withdraw all nutritious substances
into their trunks and branches. A layer
OF cork is then developed across the
base of each leaf. which afterward
falls off, leaving neatly covered scar,
which excludes air and germs.
These changes do not take place In
evergreens, for these possess tough,
leathery leaves capable of resisting
frost, which are shed gradually all the
year round as they become old and ef-
fete. Such plants use sunlight year
out year in, while deciduous trees and
shrubs do during the warm season
on.y, though they work very vigorous
" in summer, getting ready the buds
which open the next spring and stor-
ing I'D starch and the like to serve as
food till the new leaves are unfolded
and ready for work.

CHANGING ONES NAME.
The Method IL n Rather Costly ono
In Great britain.


Many people change their names
without asking permission from any
one or paying any fees whatever. Ihls
Is certainly the simplest way or get
ting rid of name you do not appre-
ciate. but 1t is apt to prove expensive.
For instance, such course Is strlctiy
Illegal and the government could step
I'm at any time and demand the pay
ment of heavy fine; and, further-
more If the individual who changed
his name without consulting anybody
hoppened TO come in for a large sum
of money unexpectedly the authorities
would decline to recognize his claim
if he had failed to pay the fees due 10
the heralds' college for assuming d
name not given in baptism.
There are two ways or changing
your name, and they are both rather
costly. One method is to have pri-
vate act of parliament passed for your
benefit. This course is generally fol-
lowed only by peers and people to
whom money is no object, for 1t costs
$3.50. This nearly all goes in fees to
minor officials for bringing your case
before the legislature, inasmuch us the
actual passing Of the bill costs prac-
tically nothing. And the only advan-
tage you will gain from this expensive
way of going to work is that inquiries
will not be made into your past history,
which by the other alternative are I'M
avoidable.
The usual method adopted for legally
changing the name is somewhat te-
dious. if less costly, and you must have
very substantial reasons for so doing
or your claim will not be allowed. IT.
for instance, you inherit property
which makes 1t conditional that you
change your name you can do SO on
payment of about ESQ in fees.
In the first place you must COM
municate with the home secretary
who, if he considers your claim vahu'
will refer YOU to the heralds' college
and the king of arms. These OFFICIALS
will make full inquiries into your his,
tory and satisfy themselves beyond
question that your reason for wishing
TO make the change is in every way
legitimate. This done, they will again
communicate with the home secretary
who will lay your claim before the
king, for he alone has power to au
thorize the change being made. Even
tually, after some months OF waiting
YOU will be informed by the heralds
college that his majesty has approved
of your claim and the change or name
is published In a remote corner OF the
London Gazette.
Finally it is worthy Of mention thai
no one can hold public appointment
under government who has changed
his name without the consent OF the
king. however brilliant may have beer
his services to the country. The reason
for this is rather curious. The name
given you at your baptism Is In theory
ratified by the sovereign as head Of th'
church, and by assuming another OIL
YOUR own responsibility you are deliD
erately breaking q law Of the land

DON'T FORGET THEM.
The Party Call and the Bread ana
Butter Letter.

Do not forget your party call ana
your bread and butter letters, says the
Boston Advertiser. They are in their
way lust as important as the party and
the visit themselves and mean much to
your hostess.
Five weeks ago" said woman to
me the other day, Il gave an evening
affair to which fifty guests were in
vited Out Of these only one has paid
me a party call. OF course know that
II is not Indifference or ingratitude that
has caused the omission but l cannot
help feeling it little" The bread and
butter letter, too, is not mere functory
matter. but real demand with which
we should comply. Every hostess is in
terested in the welfare of the guest
who has lately been sojourning under
her roof and whom she has just speed
ed with good will on her way. She
wishes to know if the guest has arrived
home safe and we'll, and not to comply
with such wish shows one lacking In
common courtesy. Yet 1t Is mistake
which excellent people often make.
Few people forget to call upon a bride,
but how many remember the call due
the brides parents as the persons who
extended the invitation to the weddingF
Yet one is as binding as the other. ex-
cept Of course in cases where the
brides new home is at a great distance
from that Of her girlhood.

On the Wrong Tack.

A young man in New York was deep
" impressed with the beauties Of Free
masonry and after considerable effort,
mental and otherwise, had fitted HIM
self for the ceremony Of initiation into
the order. He had heard of the goat
and the "gridlron' and many other
things connected with the first degree
and was prepared to be surprised at
nothing. In the course Of his first even
ing at the lodge he stepped on TACK
which stuck into his foot and gave him
considerable pain. He said nothing
and made no effort to remove It, pain
full though It was. Two hours later
when 1t seemed to him that there was
nothing more to come in the way OF
initiation, he asked If he might take
the tack out Of his foot. His suferings
were not ameioratcd when he was
told that the tack had nothing to do
with the ceremonies. New York POST.

A Famous Knocker.

In the door of the north porch Of Dur
ham cathedral is very ancient and
grotesque mask Of bronze, the empty
eye sockets of which are thought to
have been either filed with crystal eye
balls or to have had lamp burning
behind them.
This cathedral was in medieval days
a famous sanctuary where any culprit
charged with crime could find inviola-
BILE shelter, kindly entertainment for
thirty-seven days and then II still un-
justified or unpardoned safe escort to
the coast and passage oversee. The
only payment demanded was full con-
fession and a solemn oath never to re-
turn to England.
From a chamber over the north porch
q monk watched continually to give I'm
mediate entrance to any fugitive. and
as soon as this knocker on the door was
grasped the rights Of sanctuary were
insured. The chamber was destroyed
about a hundred years ago, but the ia
nous Norman knocker still hangs In Its
place.-Pearson's Weekly.

INGALLS, AND SHERMAN.
How the Kansas senator Waited FOR
Two Years TO Get Even.


In the course Of his memoirs or oe-
parted statesmen Senator Vest tells OF
a sharp passage between Senator John
]. Ingalls, and Senator John sherman.
ingalls, had reported from the pen
sions committee a bill granting pen
sion to oil who had served thirty days
I'm the Federal army. He stated that
the bill had been unanimously indorsed
by the Republican national convention
He moved an immediate consideration
and resumed his seat "The Democrat
&c senators felt much delicacy In OPP
posing any pensions proposed by the
Republicans, says Senator Vest, ana
they knew that any opposition on their
part would be quoted as evidence OF
their hostility to Union soldiers. There
was profound silence for moment,
and Senator Sherman then addressed
the chair. stating that the time had not
vet come for service pensions to the
soldiers of the last war. lie stated that
no convention, national or state had
the right to instruct him as to his SEN
atorial duty, and he objected to the
present consideration of the bill. Inc
measure went to the calendar and died
there. while the crowd of pension at
torneys who had originated the scheme
formed q sad procession as they filed
out of the galleries. uttering fierce
anathemas against the Ohio senator"
Senator Vest declares that ingalls,,
"who never forgot nor forgave, nursed
his wrath and two years afterward had
his revenge when Sherman appeared
before the District Of Columbia COM
mittee. Of which ingalls, was chairman,
and advocated an appropriation bill
providing for the extension of Four
teenth street to Columbia heights,
where Sherman was large owner OF
real estate. Senator Sherman In urg-
ing the bill said that Washington
should be made the most beautiful cap
ital In the world and should have
streets, parks and public buildings
equal to those Of Rome when she was
mistress of the world. Ingalls, dryly
remarked that he had no objection to
improving Washington city so as to
make 1t the superior Of Rome In every
respect, but that he had never heard OF
q Roman senator asking for an extern
sion of the Appian Way at public ex-
pense In order to increase the value OF
his suburban property"

Many places have curious names, but
apparently there is only one place
which has a name without any VOW
els. That place is the little hamlet Of
VS., near Paris. VS. being an unpro-

the hamlet have transformed 1t into
"dUs," but this change has not been
sanctioned legally. and on all the Off
cial records the name WIS still appears.

The Magnetic North.

The belief in the constancy OF the
magnetic compass to the north pole has
not the least foundation in fact. AT
every different place on the globe 1t
points In a different direction, and only
one or two Of them are due north. Be-
sides, 1t Is always changing. In Lon
don. for instance. it points to a place
about II degrees west of north.
In 1925 it was still farther away, be-
ing then 24la degrees. or a quarter OF
the way around to the west. In the
year 1880 it pointed II degrees east.
Then it began to move north till l6o9
when it pointed due north. But it re-
manned thus only for a moment, pass
ing around to its greatest DETECTION in
100 years.
Again it turned in 1920 and is still
moving nearer the north. 1t will not
reach that point for nearly a century
and half, and so it will go on back
ward and forward forever.
