A Solemn Sketch.
PUFFING AN UNDERTAKER.
‘•l’ve takon your vavcr for twenty
six years,” ho commenced, as lie
reached the head of the stairs, says
the Detroit Frtv Press, "and now I
want a puff;”
Hu was a tall, slender man, with a
face which hadn't smiled since 1812,
and his neck was embraced by n
white cravat, aud his hands were
thrust into black rlovcs.
"I’ve got anew hearse, anew stock
of coffins, and I want a local notice,"
lie continued, as tie sat down and
sighed, as if ready to screw a coffin
lid down.
"My dear sir," replied the man in
the corner, “I’ve met you at a great
many funerals, and yiwir general
bearing lias created a favorable im
pression. You sigh with the slghers,
grieve with grievers, and on extra oc
casions you can shed tears of sorrow,
even though you know that you
can’t get 10 per cent, of your bill
under six months.”
"Yes” sighed the undertaker, in
stinctively measuring the length of
the table with his eye, and wonder
ing to himself why editors’ tables
weren’t covered with crape, with
oollin nails around the edges.
"Death is a very solemn tiling,"
continued the man in the corner,
"but still it is an occasion when one
can appreciate a neat thing. I’ve
seen you rub your knuckles against
door-posts and never change count*’- ]
nance; I've seen you listen to eulogies j
on men who owed you for twenty j
years before their death, and you.
looked even more solemn than the be
reaved widow; I’ve seen you buck,
your hoarse up to a door in such an
easy, quiet way that it robbed death
of half its terrors. All this have 1
seen and appreciated, but I couldn't j
write a put! for you.”
"Why not?” ho demanded.
“For many reasons. Now you have
anew hearse. Could Igo on and say ;
‘Mr. Sackcloth, the genial undertaker
has justroceivod a line hearse, and we I
hope that our citizens will endeavor
to bestow upon it the patronage such j
enterprise deserves. It rites easy, is
handsomely finished, and those who
try it once will want no other.’ Could,
I sav that?”
"No, not very well."
“Of course I couldn't. Youcauculi
a grocer or a dry goods man a 'genial
friend,’ and it s all right, but you
aren’t genial youeun’tbo. It’s your
business to be solemn. If you could
be even more solemn than you ure, it
would be money in your pocket."
“That’s so,” lie said, sighing heavi
ly.
"If it wasairomnlbus, oracoaleart,
ora wheelbarrow, l could go on and
write a chapter on every separate
spoke, but it isn’t, you see.”
He. leaned back and sighed again.
“Aud as to your coffins, they are
doubtless nice coffins, and your prices
probably reasonable, but could 1 go
on and say: "Mr. Sackcloth, the
undertaker, has just received his now
styles in spring coffins, all sizes, and
is "now prepared to sec as many of his
old customers as want something
handsome and durable at a moderate
price. Could I say that?”
Another sigh.
"I couldn't say that you were hold
ing a cleariog-outsalo, in order to gut
ready for spring trade, or that, l'or t lu
sake or increasing your patronage,
you had decided to present each cus
tomer w ith a chromo. J couldn’t say
that you were repairing and repaint
ing, and had the most attractive
coffin-shop in Detroit. It wouldn't
do to hope that people would patro
nize you, or to say that, all orders
sent by mail would bo promptly
filled, and that your motto was:
"Quick sales and small protits
He put on the look of a loom list one,
and made no reply.
"You see, if you tiad stoves to sell,
or dealt iu mackerel, or sold fishing
tackle, everything would be lovely.
You are nil undertaker solemn, se
date, mournful. Yon revel ia crape,
and you never pass a black wulnut
door without thinking how much
good coffin lumber was recklessly
wasted. The tolling bell is music lo
you, and the (Jit> Hall ilag at half
mast is fat on your ribs. We’d like
to oblige you, but you see how it, is.”
"Yes, I sec,” he sighc.l, and form
ed in procession and moved down
Stairs, looking around now and then
to see if the hearse was just thirty
four feet behind the officiating clergy
man’s carriage.
How Plant# Feed.
In our talk with tho young roader-*
[of thn JiegiaU'r last week we endeav-1
[ored to give them some idea of how j
■ plants manage to obtain food from j
: the soil. But it must not be sii| -
iposed that tho soil supplies nil tile ;
food necessary to the sustenance of!
[plants a very large per cent, of it
[comes from the air. The soil sup-1
I plies the mineral or organic matters,
[outmost of the Inorganic matters
[must come from the air.
How plants obtain their food from!
[the air has not been clearly estate I
flished, owing to the fact that many !
prominent scientists entertain antag
'onistic views with reference to the
matter. That it is taken in through
tiie leaves is a jwjitit upon which they
ail agree, but how it is taken in, is
where the trouble lies.
If we cut the leaf of a plant square
across and examine it with a power
ful microscope we Sad that it is not
solid, as it app*sirs to the naked eye,
. but on the other hand, it. is made up
i of minute cells, some filled with plant
matter, and some with nothing but
lair. Communicating with these air
t cells is an opening leading to the
[ outer world, and through this open
ting, ns a matter of course, the air
: passes to carry the plant food that
; must be obtained from the atmos-
E phoro. How till? is made to work is
j where the main lock seems to take
place.
For our part, and we arc not alone
i in our theory, wo think a change of
temperature is the working power
that feeds the plant from the atmos
phere. As the sun shines upon the
leaves and warms them up an expan
sion must take place of course. This
expansion enlarges tho internal air
cells, thus creating a vacuum to fill
which air must be drawn in through
the minute openings already named.
As the temperature falls with the de
parture of the sun these minute open
ings are closed up, and so the con
traction which must follow forces the
air from the leaf down through the
limbs and trunk of the, plant, when
the required materials are taken from
it bv chemical action.
If wo examine a leaf with the micro
scope, we find that at each minute
opening communicating with an in
ternal air cell, there is a line hair or
bristle standing out. In the day,
w hen the sun is shining, these bris
tles lie pretty well down to the sur
face of the leaf, but in the evening,
ns the sun disappears, they lift them
selves erect, remaining -o through
the night, which goes to prove that
some kind of action takes place at
the mouth of the passage. These
little bristles are evidently hand
spikes, so to speak, connected with
valves situated at the openings of the
passages, and wiien they are down
the valves or gates are open, but
when we see them standing erect we
know that nature has raised the
levers, closing the gates for the night,
and also that the work of separating
atmospheric elements for the use of
the plant is quietly going on within.
