HEN I enjoyed my victuals there wu'u't n o t h i ii' that 1 thought so in u c h of ns a mess of cowslip preens,"said Mrs. Tibbetts plain tively, surveying a lillee pan lilied with tropical looking leaves and brilliant yellow blossom*. "Aud the blows carry rac right back to East Macedonia and the pretty smells there used to bc there iu the spriug of tho year. Seems as if spriug hndu't a fair chance here in Potipbar City. Your father used to like a mess of pork and greens-" "Ob, ma, I wieh you wouldn't want 6uch dreadfully vulgar things !" Addie Luella, who was sixteen, had tears of vexation in her protty bino eyes. "And I wish you could get over East Maccdouiu. Tho Parkhurst** cams from there, too, but who would think it? They're the very first pt?bplo in Potiphnr City nnu -uud Augusta wouldn't invite mo to the Charity Club tableaux. The reason for the little fine puckers that had been all day betweou Addie Lmellu'a brows bad como out now. Mrs. Tibbetts looked vaguely per plexed and troubled ; ebo dimly com prehended that to have a mother ob livious o? grammar and of social aspirations made life full of pin pricks for Addie Luella. Ia Potlphar City ono was nothing if ?ot stylish. Fifteen years before, the city had been a strip of uurecluimed prairie; now it was a great lumber town with most of the upphaucoi of civilization and all the fashions. Hiram Tibbetts, coming from East Mace donia in Maine, did his shuro in re claiming tho prairio uud made a for tune iu lumber. "Pa" was quito a magnate ol Potipbar City ; but of what usc was that, demanded Addie Luella, with tears, if ma would be so common and old-fashioned ? "I guess you'll have to do yonr so cial climbin' without your ma," said good Hiram Tibbetts, gazing with pride upon his pretty daughter. "Pa" did understand a little. "It don't seeiS a mite like Adeline Parkhurst to get so stncic up." said MrB. Tibbetts, reflectively. "When wc was girls in East Macedony, there wa'u't nobody eo intimate as Adeline and me ; ami I named you for her aud she named Augusty for me. Enoch Parker and your father aro second cousins, too, and it's a dretful clan nish family ; they stick to one 'nother through thick and thiu. But your father and Enoch had difficulty about some railroad stocks and haiu't never spoke to each other souce ; and then their goiu' to another mcctin', and Adeline gettin' so kind of high liv iu' ; not but what she's a real good woman and gives away a sight-" "?he isn't likely to have much to give away if what I've heard is true." This was Hiram Tibbetts, junior, a boy of seveuteen, who had just come in with tho importance of a rossossor of news. "It's a secret ; I overhead pa and another mau talking about it. Parkhurst is iu an awfully tight placo ; they think he'll fail ; then his mills will be closed; they say he's made au awful struggle to keep 'em open all winter and-don't you breathe lt to anybody, but they're afraid there'll bo a run on tho bank that he's President of; he hasn't done anything wrong, but he lost his head when ho began to get into trouble, and there are doubts about the way some of th-3 bank's money is invested." "Do you suppose there won't beany tableaux, Hi?" asked Addie Luella, breathlessly. "Oh, 'Gusta don't know anything about it yet, of courso, uor her mother, either. I saw them driving around this morning with that pair of spank ing bays and a new carriage. I sup pose he thinks ho must keep up ap pearances." "Im glad wo don't have to," said Mrs. Tibbetts, dtawing a loug breath. "I declare, if we have gone such dif runt ways I feel a nearness to Adeline when she's iu trouble. Kind of queer that I was thiukiu' of her this mornin'. I expect it 'twas because seeiu' thom cowslips in a peddler's wagon fetched old times right back to me. I run right out and bought ull ho had-and now I dou't ktiow as I know exactly what to do with 'em all. Your father used to like u mess of pork and greens." Addie Luella sighed heavily ; but she helped herself to all the blossoms, and made of her boudoir what her friend, Trixy Wainwright, called a symphony in yellow with them, and lilied a great bowl with them to deco*' rate tho diuuer table. "Ma" said sho loved to smell posies when bbc was eating; but she didu't like the caudles with which Addio Luella persisted in lighting the table; shu said cundios were old-fashioued iu Ea>t Macedony when sho was a girl, and what was the scuso of haviu' 'em when they had olectric lights? "l'a" looked askanco at the cowslip greens; ho said ho used to like'em wheu he was u boy, but be guessed with his dyspepsy ho wouldn't resk it. Mrs. Tibbetts looked at the neglected dish of greens and hud an inspiration (she kept it private, as she did many of her inspirations lest they shoal I be frowned upon by Addie Luci lu). She put KUiuu of the green*, with a bliceof pork on the top, into a dish of the old clover-leaf china that was her mother's-they seemed t j belong in rtouietnin? old-fashioned-and eent Iheia to AISW Lucretia Lnud. who hftti come from Maine io keep house i her brother. She placed tho dish a dainty basket and slipped a card ; ?ide conveying her compliments ; tl would impart ft little air of stylo the affair, whi*di was desirable in vi of the fact that Addie Luella mip find it out. "Cowslip greens from Mrs. Hin Tibbett6 ; that's what tho servant sait Miss Lucretia Lund took tho clovi leaf china cover off the dish and sni? daintry. Then she looked across t table at her brother-for the bas! had been brought in whilo they wt at dinner-and made a ry face. " cour?e it's very kind A her, but wi qneer messes theso Western people have!" she said. For Miss Lucre was only about thirty, had livel ir Maine city, and never in her life h heard of cowslip greens. "We cai eat them-pork, just think of it ! B it seems they're a delicacy ; and I thi I'll sond them around to Mrs. Parke who sent me that delicious pineapt preserve; it is so much the fashi hero to send dainties about." "Cowslip greens, with my comp men ts, to Mrs. Parker, Mike," sho so to her servant, and dispatched t basket, nil unwitting of tbo card whi Mrs. Tibbetts had slipped into it. Tho Parkers were dining when t basket arrived ; but the meal was hurried one, because one of the ch dren had been taken suddenly ill wi tonsilitis. "Cowslip greens? dear me, I dot know what they are," said Mrs. Pu ker; :'but I am suro they must 1 very nice, for Miss Lund is a fli housekeeper. We don't caro for gree: at all; I think I'll send them nroui to Mrs. Parkhurst ; her mother is very old lady from Mame, is visitii her, and pork and greens are so o fashioned. " Mrs. Parker didn't seo Mrs. Til betl's card in tho basket, and her mc senger, who was sent for the dootor i the same time, gavo tho basket to ot of tho Parkhurst maids without an explanation. Thc Parkhurst famil had got to their after-dinner coffee b the time tho basket reached thom. A it had como mysteriously, Mrs. Pari hurst looked for some token of th donor, aud found the card. She uttered an exclamation of BUI prise, and her faco Hushed as she rea the name aloud. "Augusty Tibbetts! Why Adelin -why Adeline ! and cowslip gr oem in the clover-loaf chiny that was he mother's-the chiny that August Pritchard had when sho married Ni hum French ! It's just is if 'twas yes tiddy." The wrinkled hands tba lifted the clovcr-lcaf china cove trembled visibly, and a tear came nea falling upon tho pork aud greens Grandma was childish, the Parkkurs children thought. "I don'tsec how she carno to do it, mnrmured Mrs. Purkhurt "It'Bholdiu1 out tho olive branch Adeline, auditah't Christian not t take it BO !" said tho old woman, bro kculy. "Life is too short for lastiu bitterness; we was yuuug togethor and like own folks ! Why, Enoch am Hiram Tibbetts are owu folks." " 'Sh !" Mrs. Purkhurstluid her han? on her mother's and glanced warniug ly at her husband. "They're tho kind that hold i grudgo-both of them," sho said, in i low toue. Euoch Parkhurst aroso am left thc table silently. Ho was a taci turn man by nature, aud of late thc habit of silence had grown upon him, Tho old Indy sui I she thought Enoct was burdened ; old eyes aro dimmed tc some things only to be opened widei to others ; his wifo and tho childrot said he was always so ; he had so man-y business cares. As he closed tho dining room dooi behind him Enoch Parkhurst put his hand to his head. "Hiram Tibbetts! he could Bavc me," ho murmured ; "he would have done it ouco-now it is impossible " "Adeline, you'll take mo to-morrow bo see Augusty Tibbetts, won't you?" Clrandma was saying as tho door slosed. "When Augusty has come moro'n halfway so, seems as if 'twas the least you could do !" "We haven't spoken for so long, ind she is -is in such n different set," faltered her daughter. "I would really havo liked to have Addie Tibbetts in tho tableaux," said Augusta Parkhurst, a seventeen-year old girl, whose very plainness was stylish, Addie Luella said. "She would make a beautiful Bluebeard's wife-with her head huug up, you know, her hair is so long and light ; but she isu't in our sot." "I don't kuow how Augusta would take it," pursued Mrs. Parkhurst, meditatively. r"I should think she had shown you bow sho would tako it, sondin' you cowslip greens on her mother's clover leaf chiny," insisted Grandma. The next day tho prancing bays aud the new enrriago stopped at the Tib betts's door. There had been some anxious and angry looks cast after them, as they passed the mill, by workmen who hud henrd that the bread was soon to be taken frqm their children's mouths; but the two occu pants of the carriage were quite obliv ious of such troubles. Grandma, ra diant with delight, holding tho basket containing the precious china on her knee, and Adeline Parkhurst, wonder ing whether all her acquired society manner would cuablo her to bo quito at her ease with "poor Augusta," who had never acquired any manner at all. "They arc-they are coming hore, ma!" cried Addie Luella, in a tumult of delight, and earnestly hoping that everybody was looking. "Oh, mo, ma, won't you wait till Jenkins opens tho door !" sho wailed. But Augusta Tibbetts'B simulo soul and kindly heart had, in au instant, dropped into oblivion tho colduess and social slights of years ; she throw her large white apron (trimmed with homo-mudo lace, Addie Luella's des pair) over her shoulders and hurriod down the steps ; nothing loss thuu a sidewalk welcome would do for Ade line and Gran'ma'am. She was a simple soul, but after ull she showed herself quick of wit; she felt only a moment's perplexity about tho cowslip greens and of that she ?nado no sign. "I won't tell 'em it's all a mistake about my sendiu' 'em-not till 1 havo to," sho said to herself. "And if I can make Lucretia Luu I koop still I don' kuow as I ever will !" And it may us well bo hero recorded that Mrs. Tibbetts managed tho altair with such truly Machiavellian diplo macy that tho little comedy or errors was never discovered by the filial re cipients of her cowslip green*. It was a delightful call. Adeline Parkhurst forgot that she had acquired a society muuuer, uud Augusta Tib betts forgot that Addie Luella was be ing mortified by her bud grammar. They talk of "faraway and long ago," and the brokeu friendship waa ce mented by laughter und tears. Hiram Tibbetts listeue I in fcilence to his wife's story of Adeline Park hurst's visit and the reuewal of tho old friendship ; she had felt a little uncer tain how pu would take it, ho was one to hold a grudge ; but her delight had to have vent. "Mcbbe I shouldn't havo folt quite so pleased if ? hadn't boon thinkin' considerable of East Macedouy-as I do, como spring o' the year, " she mur mured, apologetically. "A.nd Augusta has sent me invita tion to take part in the tableaux 1 I'm to bo Bluebeard's last wife-not just one of the heads hung up in a row!" cried Addie Luella, joyously. Her father's rugged foatures reflect ed Addie Lnella's joy. "He's felt her little slights if ho is a man. She takes after him in think in' so much of them kind of things," thought Addio Lnella's mother. "I've been thinkin', mn," said Hi ram Tibbetts, huskily, and little a shamefacedly, to his wife, the next morning-"I've been thinkin* that mebbe I'd better help Enoch Park hurst a little. It's so's I caa about as well as not-" "I was Lopin' yon would, pa!" cried Mrs. Tibbott?, joyfully. "It ain't worth thc while to hold grudges anil-mobbs yon was somo to blame." There wero only a few who ever knew how Enoch Parkhurst weathered his financial storm ; but the mills did not close and tbero was no rnn upon the bank ; instead of thoso catastrophes he seemed to bo entering upon a new era of prosperity, and Potiphar City felt rouewed contldonce in tho sound ness of its rich men. And Addio Luella really was Blue beard's last wife in tho tableaux. Be ing a simple soul, to whom it is uat jiral to share her experiences, Angus ta'Tibbetts has sometimes wanted to tell, but abo has so far contente I her self by Baying, aloud, wliou she was quito alone : " 'Twas all an ovorrulin' Providence -and them cowslip greens!"-Inde pendent. Merits ol thc Balshi. Fruit of all sorts is becoming moro and more a part of the regular ?3od supply and a growing constituency of people announce themselves ns be lievers in a diet of fruit and nuts. Leaving theso extremists out of the present question, it is certain that health increases for whoever substi tutes fruit, both fresh and dried, for a large part of tho ordinary diet in daily usc. Ono of our best literary workers has found that a bunch of good raisins with a slice of bread or a crisp cracker or two makes a lunch that is not only satisfying but leaves the brain clear for tho afternoon's work. Even in thc days of our fore fathers the Muscatel raisin.', called so perhaps from tho Muscat grape, brought by the Moors from their Afri can homes into Spain, were croditod with a special recuperative force, and kuown as "raysons of the sun." Thoy worn part of tho equipage of a last ill ness. Saffron water and theso "ray sous of the sun" were side by sido on thc neut little table, which held also tho big Bible rescrvod for solemn oc casions, all three reminding tho suf ferer that ho or she had done with tho ordinary fare of mortal life. But there need bo no such somber association with tho raisin of to-day, our own California, providing, at its be?t, a rich fruity raisin, sun dried, of course, yet not so much dried as distilled, all the water/ parts boiug driven off, and tho richer qualities of tho grape devclopo? iu Nature's own alembic Theso raisins, with whole wheat bread, mako a genuine food, good for child as well as man, and hailed by tho ohildron with acclama tion. The need for sugar-an instinct with children-is met in raisins.pr datos in infinitely more healthy fash ion than in nuy other order of sweet, and tho child who has full provision of such fruits makes no demand for candy or cake. Tho best California raisins aro now chonp enough to bo within the moans of all, and their use is steadily increasing. A set of young lawyers iu New York hive adoptod fruit ns a lunch, fiudinr that work can go on with none of the 6enso of heavi ness produced by tho ordiuary meal; and raisins have boen introduced as one of the most satisfying forms. Philadelphia Press. Cnn thc Heart Break? Grief docs not kill, aud it is indeed vory seldom that heavy sorrow causes death to any ono when in a healthy condition. It i", however, vory often tho indirect cause of a death, either by briugiug disenso to a climax, or by rendering tho sufferer moro liable to its attack. If a man is con vinced that his grief is moro than he can bear, those who have studied tho matter agree that, through tho force of his own imagination, the man will actually die from a "broken heart" The great Napoleon waa killed by an internal disease, but it is supposed that it would not have been fatal had not his spirits been so depressed through exile and defeat. William Pitt, the orator, is said to have died from a "broken henrt," caused by his great grief at the failure of his cher ished hopes and plans. And there have been many other such instances in tho history of this country. When plagues aro raging in a town, statistics show that as many die from fright and imaginary causea as from tho real epidomic, BO great a hold has tho fear of death on some people. If a mau is condemned to bo shot, it has ofteu occurred that on the word "fire" ho has dropped lifeless, al though, through accident or design, no bullet has in reality left the gnu. There is a queer case on rocord con cerning tho daughter of a colebratod French novelist, who was deeply in terested in ono of her fathor's stories, lt appeared in installments, and the heroine was suffering from consump tion. As the girl brooded over the uud fate of tho heroine, she, too, sud denly manifested tho sumo symptoms A physiciun recommended her father to restore the heroine to health, which ho did a few chapters on, and at the sumo timo us the girl iu her novol re covered, BO also did his too sentimental daughter. -Philadelphia Timea.

In Haly tho trulflo-bods aro so valuable that they are guardo I as carefully as aro gamo preserves in En^laud. But tho poachers, quito equal to the necessity, train their dogs to go among tho bods, dig up those mushrooms of marketable value, and bring them out to the edge, where they aro waiting to receive them. Mushrooms briug in a revonu9 of 820,000 a yoar to Rome, and M. Boques calls tho despised toadstools tho "manna of the poor." Mr. Julius Palmer, our own author ity on mushrooms, says: "Wore tho poorer classes of Russia, Germauy, Italy or France to sec our forests dur iug the autumn rains, they would feast ou tho rich foo.l there going to waste. For this harvest requires no seed time and asks for no peasant's toil. At the same time the value of mushroom diet rauks second to meat alone.

They possess internally a hollow of about ouo-third of their entire contents, which, being filled with rarefied air, acts as a uou-coudiictor of heat. They aie joiued together with cement, by which a rigidity is obtained which points to the possibility of their bciug employed as rootiug in semicircular form, with out auy usc being made of iron as a .supporting structure. In houses built of this material, there must be many advantages not obtainable by other modes of construction with other ma terials, including greater economy in heating.

We have doubled our population in tho past thirty years, whilo Franco has increased 3 per cent and Great Britain and Ireland 20 per cent. Maine and Vermont are not increasing, and Novada is decreasing. In 1790 Virginia was tho most popu lous state in tho union, with Pennsyl vania second. In 1910 New York reached tho second place, and in 1820 tho first place, Virginia then being second. In 1830 Pennsylvania got the second placo and still holds it. In 1790 the third place was held by North Carolina, but between 1840 aud 18S0 Ohio held it, and in 1890 Illinois secured it. In 1790 wo had only six cities of over 8,000 population each. Our ur ban population then was 131,472, and tho rural 3,797,742. In 1890 wa had 413 cities of ovor 8,000 population each, and twonty-eight of them had a population of over 100,000 each. We have eleven cities of over 200,000 pop ulation each. Our urban population has jumped up to 18,284,385, whilo tho rurul population is 44,337,805.
