Both of these scholarly gentlemen confined their remarks along lines appropriate to the occasion, bringing valuable lessons of patriotism to their hearers and pointing out many admirable traits worthy of emu latlon In the life of the "Father of Our Country." FALLING OF THE LEAVES. CThe Wlad In the Aitami Really Baa Verr Little to Do tVJta It. When the 6torm clouds gather behind the brown autumnal woods and cold winds begin to blow, then the bright leaves come drifting down in fluttering, fast thickening showers until it almost Beems as if the wind were the active agent and actually tore the leaves from the trees. This, of course, is not the case. The leaf fall only becomes possible after a long preparation on the part ef tho tree, which forms a peculiar layer of cells In each leaf stem called the cleavage plate. This cleavage plate, or separation layer, consists of a section o-loosely attached thin walled cells with a few strands of stronger woody fiber In among them, so, in the early autumn, although the leaves appear as firmly attached as ever before, they are really only held on the tree by these few woody strands and the outer brittle nkin or epidermis of the stem. Now only a slight shock or wind flurry is sufficient to break the fragile support and bring the leaves in showers to the trround. We may see these woody strands broken through in the leaf scar of the horse chestnut, where they appear as little rounded projections on the broken surface and are often spokeu of from their fancied resemblance to the nails of a horseshoe. The hickory and ash among other trees have similar markings on tbeir leaf scars and from the same cause. On the root of the wild sarsaparilla, which projects just above the ground, a like series of little projections will be seen upon the ringlike scar which surrounds the bud where the leaf stalk has just separated. Often the leaves separate and fall even on the quietest days, for their own weight is sufficient to break the frail support. These hushed and supremely tranquil days we all remember, when our October walks are accompanied by the soft, small sounds of falling leaves, by the rustlings and dry whisperings of their showering multitudes. St. Nicholas. Married men of Belgium have two votes and the single ones only one. Priests and some other privileged persons have three. PILES CURED AT HOME BY NEW ABSORPTION METHOD.

If you have not, it is about time you made up your mind, for the forty day' fast will commence just two weeks from next Wednesday. During this season the Catholics and Episcopalians avoid all dances and theatre going. The observance of this season of rest is very ancient, though it is not thought to be an apostolic institution, and coming just before Easter its reason is very evident. Originally it lasted forty hours, but it was later stretched to thirty-six days and cither Gregory the Great, or Gregory the Second, nearly a hundred years later, added Ash Wednesday and the remainder of the ween, making the entire time of abstainance forty days. Formal affairs are usually done away with during this time, but informal affairs are usually numerous and for some reason or other the best shows and the most enjoyable dances seem to come just at this time. , .

Mr. Woodruff stated that billboards were a postive detriment to a city and that if such eye-sores were permitted here the city government should take steps to remove them. "Kichmond should hasten the day when it emancipates Itself from this evil." he stated. He claimed that some people argued that billboards on vacant lots hid ugly dirt and rubbish piles.

The speaker was introduced by William Dudley Foulke who in a few remarks pointed out the difference between tha dreamer and the practical reformer, and declared that the latter is the most important citizen in America today. In past years he w-as associated with Mr. Woodruff in the civil service and in much of his reform work and spoke of him as his "old comrade in arms." Mr. Woodruff at once plunged into an arraignment of the old regime in city affairs, declaring that it was dominated by a fierce individualism which placed the man before the city. But
