Why Leaves change in Color.
An' eminent botanist thus ex
plains in Forest and. Stream %hy
leaves change in color: “The
green matter in the tissue of a
leaf is composed of two colors—
red and blue. When the sap
ceases to flow in the fall, and the
natural growth of the tree ceases,
oxidation of the tissue takes place.
Under certain conditions the green
changes to. red; under different
conditions’;?.^takes oh a yellow or
or brown tint. This difference in
color is due to" the difference in
combination’of the “original con
. stituents of the green = £tissue and
to the varyinggeondi lions £of the
climate, soil and exposure. A dry,
eold : climate produces more bril
liant foliage than one that is damp
and warm. This is the reason
that our American autumns are so
much, more gorgeous tha i those of
England. There are several things
about leaves that science cannot
explain. For instance, why one of
two trees growing^ side by. side, of
the same age and lhaving the same
exposure, should take on a bril-
Iiant~red in the fall, an.d the other
should turn yellow, or why one
branch, of a tree should be highly-
colored and the rest of the tree
haf'e only a.yellow tint,, aro-j ques
tions that are as impossible to an
swer as why one member of a fam
ily'should be perfectly healthy
and and another Fsietly. Maples
and oaks have ithe .brightest col
ors.” - . V ,
cates, etCy all with a view to bet
tering the financial status of the
working-people of this country.
These sayings, writings, resoiv-
ings, and legislative 'efforts have
been made and had with the os
tensible purpose of protecting this
class of our people lit iKs enjoy
ment of the hard earnings of their
toil. Notwithstanding all these,
the leakage “continues, and the"
working classes’ purses, are not
growing plethoric. Three millions
of laboring people in this country,
largely farmers, have and are com
bining to bring to light the vam
pires that are preying upon their
financial life-blood,"and to find, if
possible, the goose that shall lay
the golden egg of deliverance,
These are meeting, convening, dis
cussing and resolving % with hones
ty of purpose:io[make themselves
independent qf the plutocratic
power that is ^developing in the
great monied centers of our coun
try. Eesolutions, plans and pro
grammes are the products of the
brain; they sound well when fall
ing from the lips of men, and look
well on paper; but unless they be
executed and carried to final con
summation, what are they but
sounding brass and tinkling cym
bals ?” ; Of . what,. value a,re the
wisest theories that ever evolved
from the brain of man, if they be
not puf into practice? Having be
come cognizant of .Ithe fact that
there is to them a wrong some
where, the first important work for
these millions of laboring m§n to
do is to ascertain this wrong and
where it germinates, and [then ap
ply the proper remedy by a wise
and conservative mode of proce
dure. Every effort put forth for
the righting of a wrong without-
knowing the whereabouts of the
wrong, is certainly ineffectual, a
waste of time, and a shot in the
dark. .
The leading thought of the
farmers all over this country, and
especially the alliancemeh, i is [to
thwart. aDd defeat trusts and mo
nopolies, to which they! attribute
all those oppressive burdens that
seem to be now resting upon
them.
Now we believe it is possible
for farmers in such |a country as
ours, ib put|tKemselves;in an in
dependent position, and to very
largely, ifnot wholly, protect them
selves against hurt) or oppression
growing out of trusts ror money
combines. And[thev fimay meet
and discuss, convene and resolve,
all of which is well, right and
proper,’ (for an interchange of
views is advantageous,} but the
way for the accomplishment of
this great desideratum is plain,
simple and open to them. This,
too, is the safest and surest way.
And it is simply for every farmer,
be he tenant or land-owner, to
grow a diversity of crops, and to
plant sufficiently in provision
crops to produce an abundant suf
ficiency for every living thing that
feeds from the farm. In this way
every farmer can stand upon his
own dung-hill, an independent
freeman; can live in luxury at
home; can chunk a few dollars an
nually into the bank for his de
clining years,-and enjoy happily
the fruits of his toil . .This old
doctrine, and has been, so con
stantly preached to. the farmers
until it has become stale,. bti£ it
is as fine as truth itself. And
the sooner the -farmers cf this
country accept this v doctrine as
true, and put it into practice; the
better it will, b.e.fpr them, and that
much sooner will they able to de
feat the jute trusts or monied
combines that attempt tc oppress
:or grind from them the fruits of
their labor. •. * . -

The German emperor is said to
be fond of variety, even ' in such
matters as his’daily bread. Thus,
for instance, he takes for break
fast a small white loaf, the fop of
which is powdered over with salt,
and which, accordingly, goes by
the name of salt bun. Its cost is
one penny. After it he consumes
a half-penny bun, known as the
“Lqcca-ey.e.” For bi&;§aridwiches
he requires yet Andtfibf iflkind. of

In conversation with one of the.
firm, who had commenced the bas
er soliciting patents in connection
with therpnblicat'ion of thef Sci
entific American, more than forty
years ago, -I leaf nod that his firm
had made application^'for patents’
for upward of One hundredfthoUs-
and inventors in the United

different foreign countries, and
has filed as many cases in the, .pat-
tent office in a single month, .as
there were patents issued,? during
the entire first year of .their biisi-

seen the patent office growf- from a
sapling to a sturdy oak, and he
modestly hinted that many thought
the Scientofie American, with its
large circulation, had peformed
no mean share in [stimulating in
ventions and advancing the inter

Her face was pinched and ashy,
her eyes a kind of muddy hazel,
the peculiar combination giving
her an uhsiiat appearance.
“Got any ole eld’s yer wanter
trade?” she inquired, abruptly.
“No I think not,” I answered,
glancing at the basketsnf berries
which hung on her arms.,
“Better git somer dese here
berries; dey’s mighty nice. I’ll
take . mos’ anything for -’em.
-Gimme some ole med’eine ef you
got any. Some uv us is purty

. I shuddered to think of-the con
sequences that might result from
my venture in a second-haiid drug
establishment, but began to con
template my stock of old clothes
as. she seemed so determined to
“trade.”. It was an evil hour in
deed that led me to begin a series
of “tradings” that grew with the
weeks and strengthened with the
months until fears, even, had
passed aver my benighted head.
Scarcely a fortnight passed after
I first made her. acquaintance that
I: bid not have- a visit from piy
ubiquitous berry woman, Bhe
brought berries and fruit in their
season and nuts Sad chickens in
their season; in fact, she claimed
all seasons for .her own.
When I had begun to despair of
ever ridding myself of my “old
man of the sea;” when 1 saw a long
vista of years stretching out be
fore me in which I must be trad
ing and giving in trade, happily
we moved to a distant street.
I enjoyed a respite of two months
in my new hcane unmolested by
the trading Josephine..
At last, fine day in early fall she
reappeared upon the scene with
renewed vigor, bringing a basket
of huts and one chicken. I was
compelled to Sacrifice a plate of
“victuals” and , an old hat on the
altar of hospital! W- and the above
mentioned articles.
During my search for the hat
Josephine spied, hanging in my
closet, a very pretty red jersey,
which a few stitches might render
very useful, and immediately be
gan to devise ways and means to
possess hersejf of it,
I at first told her I didn’t want
to.dispose of'it, but, suddenly,
with the iaspiration-of a providen
tial interference, I conceived a
plan of deliverance. With a ,sigh
for my dear departing jersey, bat
a bright hope for the future, I
took the-jacket’down and gave it
to her saying:
“Here Joiephinej.you may take
it, and next week bring me two"
chickens for it.” -
“Yessnm,” sbe'-areponded, eager
ly. “I’ll fetch ycu dem chickens
er Chuesday, sho. You kin pen’
’pon gitting’em. I ain’ ? tole yer
no lie yit an’ I aiu’ goiri’. tell yer

Bhe departed, to leave me in
peace, five'.years have passed
since, and this day I have not
seen her or “dem chickens” either.
