Knew Him Too Well.

The late President Chester A. Arthur, although he was man of warm friendships. had high sense of per Sonal dignity that would brook no un, due familiarities. X lifelong friend of MT. Arthur. who had accompanied him on one of his hunting trips, was telling an acquaintance some of the incidents of the hunt.
 Il know it's the general impression he said. that Mr. Arthur is a cold, self centered sort of man, but it isn't true He Is one of the most genial and com panionatle of men when you become well acquainted with him thought I already knew him pretty well, but came to understand him better while on that trip than ever before"
 "1 suppose you know him well enough now to call him by his first name," ventured the other.

Desert Plants.

Plants of the desert, as d rule, pos sess few leaves, the cactus, for in etance, being mostly spines. There is 8 very good reason for the lack of leaves in desert plants. The object is to check the transferation of moisture by offering as small surface as pos sible to the dry air. For the same req son the roots of desert plants usually run deep Into the soil so that they can suck up all the available moisture. In some instances the leaves assume a .yertica! position and thus avoid the direct rays of the burning desert sun, On the other hand, the leaves of trees In very wet countries are provided with points such as the maple--from which the rain drops off. Were the 'ieaves natter the rain would collect and make them rot.
