STORING PLANT FOOD
FOR PRODUCING ENERGY
Place and Manner of Storage Composition to
Starch or Some Ported Compounds
Century Plant Popular.

After the plants food has been
made in the green leaves, what is
done with it?" This is the natural
question which students of plant life
ask themselves. Careful investiga-
tion shows that some is variously
changed and used in the leaves them
selves, some is carried to other parts
Of the plant where it is needed for
the production of energy and the
building up of new cells, and the
surplus is stored away for the future
needs of the plants. The place and
manner of storage differ widely in diff
ferent plants. Sometimes the surplus
is accumulated in the form of various
sugars, very often as starch and less
frequently as mucilage similar in COM
position to starch or some proteid
compounds.
There are difficulties encountered in
storing this surplus food just where it
is made. 1t may so obstruct the cells
of the leaf that food making is hinder
ed and leaves are usually rather
small so they can contain only a small
reserve. Besides many plants retain
their leaves for a few months only,
when they fall to the ground to be
replaced by others when another grow
ing season arrives, hence reservoirs of
food are usually larger and more per-
manent organs. Small amounts of
starch and sugar are usually kept in

LADY THAT ALWAYS SMILES
How Servant Identified Caller on His
Mistress-Loft Sunbeam in
His Heart.

Some of us would be more sur
prised than pleased If we knew the
Impressions we make on the minds of
those who know us only slightly. How
many OF you girls are remembered as
pleasantly as was the lady described
in the following incident?
A lady called at the house of a
neighbor on an errand: but, as the
family were away, she asked the hired
man to tell his employer that she
would call again. Being in a hurry,
and not thinking but that the man
knew who she was, she did not leave
her name. The lady Of the house re-
turned before the rest of the family,
and the man told her that lady had
been there who said she'd call again.
who was it?" inquired Mrs. H.
"Oh, l don't know her name" re-
piled the man.
But you should have asked her."
said Mrs. H., 80 we would know who
had been here. Can't you tell me any
thing by which can know who came?
Where does she live?"
Il don't know" said the man, but
she's the one that always smiles when
she speaks"
The pleasant look and the courteous
manner in which the lady had spoken
to the servant had been noticed and
'emembered, leaving sunbeam in
that mans heart

TO TRAIN CRIPPLED CHILDREN
Bodily Defects Sometimes Entirely
Cured by Physical Exercises
Directed by Teacher.

Corrective physical training for
crippled children is of great import
ance, as bodily defects can be partly
and sometimes entirely cured by spe-
clal physical exercises under the di-
rection of trained teacher.
Twenty-three such classes for Grip
oled children, with an enrolment of
over $50 children, were carried on
free of charge in New York last year
by the Peoples University Extension
society of No. 105 East Seventeenth
street.
Ninety-six free classes in annual and
domestic training were given to an
enrolment Of about nine hundred Grip
pied children by the same society, be-
sides "a free classes for mentally de-
fective children.
The manual work taught included
basketry, bookbinding, chair Gaming,
economic cooking, dressmaking, ele-
mentary carpentry, embroidery, cord
work, sewing, shirtwaist making and
weaving, One badly crippled boy of
ten learned chair Gaming so quickly
that he soon hung out a sign for
chairs to cane.
One of the largest departments of
the work of this society is supplying
free lectures by physicians to meet
ings of tenement mothers, giving
them simple practical advice about
the care of children and prevention of
contagious and other disease. More
than $1,000 mothers were given such
instruction last year in English, Ital-
ian, German and Yiddish.

cut through the center a miniature
cluster of flower buds in the center.
Place the bulb in a glass of water and,
using the food stored in the leaves,
the buds will expand into beautiful
flowers.
An excellent example of thick leaves
producing a food storehouse is found
in the American century plant, Agave
Americana, found most abundantly in
the warm regions of southern United
States and the drier parts of Mexico
and Central America. AS public parks
and greenhouses have been multi
piled, century plants have become IA
miliar objects in many parts of the
country. Found in hot dry countries
they have successfully solved the prob
lem of obtaining plenty of sunlight
without exposing too much leaf sur
face to the drying winds of the desert.
Their leaves are long and thick, ar
ranged in a loose rosette and covered
with an exceedingly thick epidermis.
In these thick leaves large quantities
of sugar and mucilage are stored.
Century plants are long-lived but
seldom reach the hundred years that
their names would suggest. The early
years of their life are devoted to the
task of making and storing an accumu-
lation of food to be expended in the
spectacular closing year of their ex-
istence. In the warm climate of Mex
leo and Central America, this task is

UNIQUE GAME OF SALMAGUNDI
Differs From Other Progressive
Games In That Different One Is
Played at Each Table.

OF all progressive games none is
more popular than this. AS in all
others, small table is provided for
every four players, but Salmagundi is
distinguished from other games in
that different game is played at
each table.
Games Of cards may be chosen, If
preferred, such as hearts, euchre, five
hundred, sniff, etc., or such games as
dominos, jack straws, lotto, helma,
pit, fish-poles. The rules for playing
these are supplied with the game
when purchased. There is no rule
against such games as Patent Medi-
cines," "Menagerie," ETC., which GER
tainly contribute to a merry uproar.
The winners progress at sound of
the signal given at the head table,
and play new game. The losers
keep their places and must play the
same game over again.
The introduction of variety adds to
the pleasure, and as there is change
of partners at each progression"
everybody meets everybody else.
When every couple has made the
round of the tables and played all
the games, the prizes are awarded
and refreshments served.

: JACK THE RIPPER"
NOW IN MAD HOUSE
WHITEcHAPEL SLAYER A POLE,
ACCORDING TO BRITISH
OFFICIALS STORY.
ENGLAND'S CRIMINAL INSANE
Sir Robert Anderson Reveals interest.
Ing Facts Concerning the Case Of
Dangerous Lunatics Who Are Held
During the Kings Pleasure"

London.-Sir Robert Anderson, for
more than 80 years chief of the GRIM
inal investigation department of the
British government, and head of the
detective bureau at Scotland yard, has
at length raised the veil of mystery
which for nearly two decades has en-.
veloped the identity of the perpetrator
of those attrocious crimes known as
the Whitechapel murders.
Sir Roberts revelations, in an ar.
ticle over his signature in one of the
leading London reviews and supple
mented by letter in the London
Times, effectually disposes of the pop
ular stories ascribing the outrages to
a peer, now dead who, despite his
great wealth had rendered himself an
outcast by his vices and eccentrici-
ties, or to man untitled, but of birth
and breading, who, after manifesting
unmistakable signs Of mental disorder,
had suddenly vanished from his &C.
customed haunts IN London, eventual
ly to die in a madhouse.
Sir Robert establishes the fact that
the Infamous Jack the Ripper" as
the unknown slayer had been dubbed
by the public, and at whose hands no
less than IA women successfully lost
their lives within a circumscribed
area of the East end of London, was
an alien Of the lower though educated
class, hailing from Poland, and a ma
MAC of the most virulent and homici-
dal type-of type recorded, by rea-
son of his rarity, in medical treatises,
but one with which the world at large
is not familiar.
The most important point of all
made by Sir Robert is the fact that
once the criminal investigation depart
ment was sure that it had in it's hands
the real perpetrator of the Whitechap-
ell murders, 1t procured from the secre-
tary of state for the home department
warrant committing the man for de-
tention during the kings pleasure" to
the great asylum for the criminal in
sane at Broadmoor five or six years
ago.
Behlnd the walls of Broadmoor are
hidden away in this fashion some of
the grandest names of the united
kingdom.
Although strict secrecy is observed
with regard to the names and iden-
tity Of the inmates, Sir Robert re-
calls during his several stays at Broad
moor having seen and talked with a
number of prisoners possessed of
certain amount of historical interest.
Chief among them was Edward Ok
ford, who in 1910 had attempted to
shoot Queen Victoria when she was
driving with the prince consort to
Buckingham palace
Another strange inmate of Broad
moor was old Mrs. Brough, who had
been the nurse of King Edward, who,
in spite of what has been said, was
not nursed by his mother, the queen.
The Greenville journal. [volume] (Greenville, Ohio) 1850-1918, 1910-07-07
"Jack the Ripper" Was an Educated
Pole of the Lower Class

Mrs. Brough, as a reward for her serv.
ices to the heir apparent, was accord
ed cottage in the grounds of the
royal palace at Claremont, hsr hus-
band being employed as one of the
gardeners on the place. One day Mrs.
Brough, having quarreled with her
husband, became afflicted with homi-
cidal mania, and before morning, she
cut with razor the throats OF all
her six children.
Mrs. Brough was put on trial, ac-
quilted on the score of insanity, and
ordered tc be detained during her mai
esty's pleasure at Broadmoor.
Few have any idea of the extent of
the persecution of this kind to which
the anointed of the Lord are subjected
in Europe. In London, as at Berlin
and at Potsdam, it is rare that week
passes without the quiet arrest by the
police of more or less unbalanced in
dividuals who clamor for access to
royalty on all sorts of extraordinary
preteXts.
The duration of their detention de
pends entirely upon the executive, not
on the judiciary.

KINDNESS TO
FARM ANIMALS
Gives to All of Them That Kindly
Disposition Which Makes Them
Quiet, TeachabIe and
Reasonably Safe.
(By s. c. MILLER.)

There is always a way to over
ONE fear in our domestic ANIMALS
and that is by kindness. Kindness from
the day Of their birth, and continued
as long as they live. This gives to
all of them that kindly disposition
which makes them accommodating,
quiet and teachable, and safe. 1t
makes them loving and loyal. 1t
adds to their length of life. horse
of a fretful disposition is old at ten,
while one that has quiet disposition
may still be young at twenty. 1t is
strange that we do not learn this.
How often does a young man just
starting in life, buy a good team of
young horses, and in order to make
them appear to have much spirit ana
life, checks them up high, cracks his
whip over them, and sometimes
strikes them, drives them fast with
q heavy wagon, and sometimes with
load, and in few years they are

Is dead, and the owner is a poor man,
whereas, another man with kindly
treatment, keeps similar team for
20 years, doing incredible amounts OF
work, and hard work, and yet he never
irets them, and never has required of
them anything they we're not able and
willing to do. They have made him
rich. and he has made their lives
happy.
In Paris, it is said, horses are treat
ed more cruelty than anywhere else
in the world, and because of this
treatment, though they have the best
street draft horses in the world. the
Percheron, they live on the average
but three years.

Lightning Rods on the White House.
The White House is going to have
lightning rods. They will be put on
some time this summer. The distin-
guished occupants of the mansion past
and present have never been pro-

will be put on every part of the build
ing, except the low Offices where the
president transacts his official busi-
ness. Col. Spencer S. Colby, United
States superintendent of public

be equipped with the rods and execu-
tive approval was given. The cost
will be between $500 and $6OO.-Phila-
