There are certain plants—the dod der, for instance, which begin lifo with the best intentions, strike true roots into the soil, and really appear as if they meant to be independent for life. But after supporting themselves for a brief period they fix curious sucking discs into the stem and branches of ad jacent plants. And after a little ex perimenting the epiphyte timilly ceases to do anything for its own support, thenceforth drawing all its supplies ready made from the sap of its host. In this parasitic state it has no need for organs of nutrition of its own and nature takes them away. Thence forth the dodder is a plant without a root, without a twig, without a leaf, and having a stem so useless as to be inadequate to bear its own weight.— Prof. Drummond.

Furlough and Leave of Absence. With the return of the volunteers from active duty the terms “furlough” and “leave of absence" have been em ployed frequently, and in many in stances improperly. A furlough is a permission given by a commissioned officer to an enlisted man or noncom missioned officer to be absent from duty for a certain length of time. Leave of absence is the term used when a like permission is given to a com missioned officer by his superior.—New York Tribune.
