Money and Prosperity.

Some of the most aourishing coun-

money In proportion to their popula-

Spain. On the other hand the per

small in Germany, Chile and Sweden,
which are also prosperous and progress

II h a is rather a sweeping
statement, and there were not a
few in the audience who could
have given such reasons for the
faith that is in them that would
have caused Mr.. Puffer either to
retract or to enter instanter upon
his journey to Boston by the roll

Puffer was sincere in that re-
mark or he was not. If he was
sincere, he talked foolishly; il
he was not sincere, he talked like
a charlatan.

Plants Of the desert, a. q rule,
possess few leaves, the cactus, for
being mostly spines. There
is a very good reason for the lack
of leaves in desert plants. The OBJ
iect is to check the TRANSPORTATION
Of moisture by offering as small a
surface as possible to the dry air.
For the same reason 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 verti-
cal position and thus avoid the di-
rect rays of the burning desert sun.
On the other hand, the leaves OF
trees in very wet countries are pro-
vided with points-such as the ma
ple-from which the rain drops off.
Were the leaves hatter the rain
uould collect and make them rot.
