Hew to Preserve Aidimn Leave3.
The leaves of Autumn are beginning
to assume the most beautiful tints
crimson, russet, orange gold and varie
gated colors, and the question now
presents itself, which is the best method
of preserving them?. 01 late years tho
preparing nud shipping of raro (oieci
nicns of leaves from American forests
to Furope, iti boxes, has assumed the
form of trade, to a cuiisiderablo
extent, and the fancy shops in tho
large cities arc each fall supplied with
the finest varieties that can be found.
The process of preservation is simple:
A thick blotting pad, some sheets of
dr awing paper, a camels hair brush
and some amber varnish are all the
necessary r.pplianccs, save a thick
book to press tho leaves between tho
blotting pad so as to extract the mois
ture before they tne vanished and
placed upon the paper. Already tho
leaves are turning, and tho ivy
especially is in proper condition. Tho
poisonous plant makes the prettiest
leaves, and ia r.ot bo dangerous but
that most people can handle it in thu
