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.
