The phenomenon of color in autumn leaves is very imperfectly understood, even by our wisest men. In some cli mates the ripening leaf simply turns a dull brown in others it assumes most brilliant and varied hues. This difference is, no doubt, partially due to the several constituents of the soil which the tree draws upon for its sap supply, but the most important cause assigned for the varying colors seem to be the difference in climate. In damp climates the forests do not put on gay autumnal colors, nut where there is a naturally dry climate, or where droughty conditions exist, the trees always adorn themselves in gorge Qua fall attire.

The best way to serve after-din- ner coffee, if the day is very warm, is to reeze it and make it answer for a sweet course. Use tour ounces ot powdered coffee to every quart of water. As soon as the water boils put the coffee in a double boiler, turn the water over it, cover and put over the fire eight minutes. Strain until perfectly clear, add eight ounces of sugar, stir until it is dissolved, and set aside to cool. Then add the white of an egg half a pint of sweet cream both unbeaten. Freeze as you do sher bets and serve in punch glasses. 1 1 ii Chocolate Icing. Take equal parts of coarse powdered sugar and ground chocolate. Place the chocolate in a Bmall pan and then put this in a larger one containing boi liner water. Stir the chocolate until dissolved, and af terward add the sugar.

ISP- The Baltimore Sun has an edito rial on "Wasted Time and Opportuni ties," which is so admirable that we re. produce it and commend it particularly to our younger readers. Our philosophy of life is that man should enjoy the pleas ures oi existence : but should do so in a rational, reasonable way, having regard to the conditions that surround him. While still young, he should fit himself not only for the duties and conflicts of ue, but for the enjoyment or its social and other pleasures. - Asceticism is as far wrong as dissipation, though not so harm ful. We subjoin what the Sun says: Time slips by us almost unheeded, never lo return. It cannot be saved like money, to be used after awhile, or stored as in a reservoir. Each moment js given to us but once. We must make use of it or it will pass away, never to return. To the wage worker especially lime is of . very great value. He cannot afford to waste any of it. This does not mean that he should never be idle. Un the contrary, he will make a great mistake if by over tasking himself he cripples his powers of work. Time is wasted unless it is used so as to keep a sound mind in a sound body. There must be an adequate allow ance of time for rest and for recreation, or the time for work cannot be fully ulti- tzed. The greatest waste ot time and opportunities, however, is committed by young men and young women, They do not realize the value -oi time until . f e years nave ronea away ana tney nna themselves bound down to bard labor that they might have escaped if they bad taken time to improve their minds or de velop some kind of special skill that would put their services in demand. Much of the distress of the world falls upon the work ers of little skill, whose places can easily be filled from a great throng of other in competents, always seeking a job. Very many ot these (not all perhaps) nave wasted their time and opportunities in their youth. They have sought recrea tion and amusement when they should have been studying; they have refused to work at auy calling that required them to soil Iheir hands or their clothes ; they have accepted easy situations and have reached tnanbood or womanhood ignorant, lazy, and incapable of giving useful service to their employers. Uut they cannot recall one minute of the wasted hours and days ot their youth. No repentance will bring back to them ost opportunities. They are doomed as by a fate, for which they are themselves in part responsible, to a life of ill paid toil or of shame. This lesson cannot be too often held up before the young, for they are thoughtless and always more or less indifferent to the lessons of expe rience. Here and there, however, one may be found who will listen to the warn ing and guard against the waste of time. In doing so be need not sacrifice the ra tional enjoyments of life. There is abun dant time for play, as well as for study and work and rest, if one will make a proper division. And there will be no waste ot time it each hour is made to help build up the physical, mental or moral qualities, or to develop some special skill that will be useful in the bread-winning contests of the future. ' It is astonishing to learn that nearly all the building lumber imported by Africa comes from tbe United btates; that Japan buys it, and that no other lumber enters South American ports. In Samoa 4 cents a foot is paid for rough Oregon pine and California redwood. Hawaii, by letting American lumber in free of duty and charging 10 per cent, duty on Canadian lumber, virtually pro hibits the importation ol tbe latter. Consul Mills, of Honolulu, reports that all the timber used there comes from the United States. Even the island of New Caledonia prefers pine from Washington and pays about S20 for hlty-tnree cubic feet. All the lumber used in Madeira comes from Maine, North Carolina and Nova Scotia, while Mexico and the West Indies rely wholly upon the United States. Australia buys $1,000,000 worth every . i . , i 't . year, ana wouia ta&e as mucn more n u could be bought readily. The Lawyer's Best Fee. "Fee simple, and the simple fee, And all the fees entail Are nothing when compared to thee Thou best of fees fe male 1" That is what a lawyer wrote in his wife's album. He kept her in the best of health and humor by providing her with Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for those seasons of sickness, debility and backache, which are the peculiar lot of the female sex. A minister at Ocmulgee, Creek Nation, Ind. T., says : "I am pleased to stand as a witness lor your Tavorue jrrescrip- tion.' My wife was an invalid for about 17 months. Every remedy was usea for her health and money spent in vain, but no relief could be obtained. Your Favo rite Prescription' was recommended to me and I obtained one bottle. Her health soon besran to improve, and she was actually cured by it. It is a wonder ful medicine. Every invalid lady ought to obtain it.

I An important decision in regard to I party walls was given by the Massachu-1 setts Supreme Court the other day. Many I years ago a certain land owner, who may I be called A, built two houses on Bedford btreet, with a party wall between them, and subsequently sold the houses to differ ent purchasers, without any stipulation as to use of the party wall. B, who suc ceeded to the rights oi one of the pur chasers, strengthened the foundations of I the party wall, and added to its height. ior nis own purposes, paying ail the ex r - . .. . - pense oi doing so himself. Afterward, C, tbe owner of tbe adjoining estate, built his house higher, using, ior that purpose, the party wall which had already been carriod up. The representatives of B demanded of C payment for a part of the cost ot the addition which had been made to the party wall, which C had now util ized. C refused to pay" anything, and a suit was brought, which has just been decided in favor of the defendant, the court holding that there was no stipula- tion or agreement in any form, binding tne aeienaant to pay ior the use ot tbe wall, and that no such agreement could oe lmpuea : ana mat tne defendant was entitled to use without payment, in the way he did, so much of the wall as he found standing on his own land. It may be remarked that there is no general party wan statute in Massachusetts, and no legislation defining the rights of per sons who find themselves in possession of I a wan ouut paruy on tana ot another ; so that tbe court probably felt itself ob liged to tall back on tbe common law rule, that every man is the absolute own er of whatever may be built on his land, no matter how it may have come there. Nevertheless, the building of a wall part- iy on eacn ot two adjoining estates, or even two parts of one estate, indicates that each party receives value from the other, in the form of a saving of expense, uuuci, iu bu wrui vi a saving oi expense, l and of available land, in return for which K.Mth.ri.ht i.ak.iP tum.u & - & f"vo uwi luo nail I on his land, and pays half the expense of I building it; and it would not be a very vio-1 lent assumption to consider that tbe rights ana obligations so conceded and incurred I attached to the land, so long as the wall built m common was used by both par ties. A provision to this effect might with propriety bo embodied in future legislation, and would have the advantage not only ot preventing the appropriation without payment of other people's labors, but of promoting the construction of party walls, which, particularly in a city of pile foundations, like Boston, represent, where properly arranged, stability of construction, and great saving of expense and oi valuable room. American Archi. tect. The Maine Moccasin. By No Means .Handsome, . but Esteemed by! Lumbermen East and West. Everybody who has ever been in Maine during the winter among the lumbermen and backwoods farmers knows the blown-up looking muddy yei low boots and shoes these useful and picturesque citizens wear," said a veteran leather dealer in the swamp. "They call 'em moccasins. The first pair was made by a shoemaker in Bangor, and their fame long ago spread to the West. Tbe shoe factories of Bangor now turn out annually something like 100,000 pairs of maccasin boots and one quarter as many shoes, and there are factories out in Min nesota and Wisconsin that make almost as many. "A person on first seeing this yellow and baggy footwear would suppose that it was made irom some strange leather, but it isn't. The material is iust common leather; but leather tanned in a way that is known to only a lew. All we know is that salt, alum, and some kind of an out of the way oil are the principal agencies that give the leather its peculiar color and flexibility, This leather had been made years and years before any one thought of using it for boots or shoes. The only use to which it was pu t up to 1851 was to make lacings for milt belts. it was made only at Paw tucket. One day a man named Baldwin, who was a shoe-maker in Bangor, made up. his mind that the leather was just the thing for winter moccasins, and he made a few pairs. They wore tried by lumbermen, and Baldwin proved to be right. Noth ing had ever been offered to the Maine lumbermen that filled the bill like Bald win's yellow moccasins, and in less than a year a big factory for turning out these queer boots and shoes was started in Bangor. Other factories sprang up in Maine, and the tanning of the belt-lace leather made those who knew the secret of it rich in a short time, and compelled the increasing of tanning capacity ten fold. "Until 1871 the boots and Bhoes were made just as Baldwin made his first pair twenty years before. Then machines for cutting and fashioning the moccasins came into use and revolutionized the business. In 1855 the fame of the Maine moccasins having reached the far West, era lumber regions, a Bangor firm re- ceived an order for a pair from some one in uubuque. Tne oraer was miea, ana this led to other orders, until, when the war orose out, me eastern uewnes were shipping thousands of pairs of Maine moccasins to the West. The war almost killed the business, it began to revive soon after the war, and then rival fac tories sprang up in the West, and now the great demands for this Maine foot fear from the lumber regions of the Torthwest are now almost entirely filled by factories at St. Paul, Racine, Minne apolis and other points. ..Th. v..ue of the mocin He. a.mo.t 1 1 a! xr in f ha nflAn MAT XCT A TT in VhlAn entirely in the peculiar way in which the leather is tanned. The tanning renders the leather absolutely water proof, and a perfect non conductor of heat and cold. The color of tbe mocca sin is a golden yellow, and fashion has made . them in the shape oi shoes, as popular in the town these days, espe cially in the summer, as they are in the wilderness where the snow is thigh deep. N. Y. Sun. tT" He who iudges and decides with out hearing both sides of the question, al though he may decide correctly, yet he is an unjust judge. Nsw Berne's Great Gardens.

Eastern .North Carol in sent North last year $4,000,000 worth of garden truck. At Wallace, on the Atlantic Coast Line, thirty miles north of Wilmington, we visited some of the bulb growers.

How the Wind Is Affected by the Weather. The psychology of the weather is sue- gestea Dy Dr. x. v. brothers as a prom ising subject for study. He says, in science: "very tew persons recognize the sources of error that come directly irom atmospheric conditions on experi menters and observers and others. ' In my own case I have been amazed at the faulty deductions and misconceptions J which were made in damp, foggy weather, I or on days in. which the air was oharged with electricity and thunder storms were impending. What seemed clear to me at these times appeared later to be filled with error. An actuary in a large insu ranee company is obliged to stop work at such times; finding that he makes so many mistakes which he is only conscious of later that his work is useless. In a large factory from ten to twenty per cent, less work is brought out on damp days and days of threatening storm. The superintendent, in receiving orders to be delivered at a certain time, takes this fao tor into calculation. There is a theory among many persons in the fire insurance UUB1UOOO llUAII IU DIBICS Ul VICJSlOOOlUg Oil mosphere greater carelessness exists and more fires follow. Engineers of railway locomotives have some curious theories of trouble, accidents and increased dan gers in such periods, attributing them to the machinery." Dr. Crothers adds that the conviction prevails among many active brain work ers in his circle that some very powerful foroes coming from what is popularly called the weather control the work and the success of each one. Sugar as a Promoter of Muscular Power. The subject of sugar as a food produc ing muscular power has been discussed by Dr. Yaugban Harley. During a twenty-four hours'ifast,on one day, water alone was drunk ; on another, 500 grammes of sugar were taken in an equal quantity of water. It was found that the sugar not only prolonged the time before fatigue occurred, but caused an increase of 61 to 76 per cent, in the mus cular work done.

They seem to imagine that i there is a broad line of division between capital and labor, and that the rich are on one side of the line and the poor on i the other side of it, There was a period in the world's history, there are probably countries now. when this was and is true.

Jannet, in the time oi tbe Csesars seven men owned between them the Roman province of Africa ; up to a certain period of the Middle Ages the Church held one-third of Western Europe,and be fore the Revolution one-seventh of the whole soil of France was held by princes of the blood. Individual fortunes of to-day may possibly be larger than those which exis ted in Rome or Greece, though if tbe fall in the value of the precious metals which has oocured in the interval be tak en into account, even this is , doubtful But while in the old time wealth was di(JDer8ed amonff many holders. As M. Jannet says : "The colossal fortt fortunes of a Hirsch or a Rothschild are no doubt im portant, for they occasionally enable these men to exert a decided influence on the markets of the world ; yet, contrasted with the wealth of a nation, they are really insignificant. They are . like the nn:n nf a nvrnmirl which Attracts atten. " J'. fjg m l?!

M. Jannet says that there is no doubt that there are not more than 700 or 800 persons in France in enjoy ment ot 10.000 a year, and that there are not more than 18,000 or 20,000 with 2,000 a year and upward. Nor is it only true that tbe great incomes are com paratively few. A striking tact is that the masses of the people are the .owners of property. From lBay to JBbi the debt ot t rance was doubled ; in the same period its holders were quadrupled. In 1889 it was held by 4,708,000 persons. The holdings of individual shareholders in the great rail. way companies similarly tend constantly to decrease : one-half of the bonds of the city of Paris are held by holders of a single bond. There are 7,uuu,uuu deposi tors in French savings banks, with an average of 20 each; while, most strik ing fact of all, out of 8,302.672 inhabited houses in France, 5,450,355, or 65 per cent., are occupied by their owners. The Edinburgh Review No Red Clover Honey. Because the Honey Bee Doesn't Know How to Get the Material for it. "Why do we never have red clover honey for sale?" said the dealer. "Well, for the simple reason that there is never any red clover honey made by honey bees. There is no blossom so rich in stores of sweetness as the red clover blossom,' as every schoolboy whose privilege it is to piuck ana buck vneir nectar weu kuuwb. But the honeybee never collects those sweets for its use, because it cannot. The corrolla tube of the red clover is so deep and small that the bee can not reach the honey stored at the base of the tube.
