Now that fir needles and hemlock needles have become recognized ar ticles of commerce and every other FIIOI) boasis its row of fragrant cushions, with their inevitable motto, "(Jive Mo pf Thy Balm, O .Fir Tree/' j am rcnihded of the first^ pillow of the sort I ever Saw and of what it meant to ?the girl who made it. I ehould like to tell you the little glory, simple as it is. It belongs to the time, eight or nine years since, before pine pillows became popular, Perhaps Chateaubriand Dorset may i)p said, for onco in her life, to have get a fashion. Yes, that was really her' name ! Her mother met with it in n news papcr and. without the least idea a? to whether appertained to man or woman, adopted it for her baby. Tho many syllables fascinated her, I suppose, and there was, besides, that odd joy in a piece of extrava gance that costs nothing which ap icals to the thrifty New England nature and is one of its wholesome outlets and indulgences. So the Methodist elder baptized ?fie child Chateaubriand Aranlin ga, making very queer work of tho unfamiliar accents, and then,- so far as practical purposes are con cerned, thc name ceased to be. How can a busy household, with milk to set and milk to skim and pans to scald and butter to make and pigs to feed find time for a nome like thal? "Baby" tho little girl was . called till she waa well settled on ?lier feet and in the use of her little 'tongue. Then she became 'Urie," and Prie ?)orset she remained to thc end. Few ?eople recollected that she possesseu any other name unless the marriage, birth and death pages of tho family Bible happened to he- under discussion. The Dorsets* was ono of those picturesque, lonely, outlying farms ,past which people drive in the sum mer saying: "How retired! How peaceful!" but past which almost no one drives in winter. It stood, with its environment of red barns und apple orchards, at the foot of a low granite cliff whose top was crowned with a fir wood and two enormous elm trees met over its roof and made a checker work ot light and shade on its closely blind ed front. . No sign of lifo appeared to the city people who drew their horses in to auVire thc situation except perhaps a hen scratching in the veg etable beds or a lazy cat basking on the doorstep, and they would drive on unconscious that behind the 6lats of the green blinds above a pair of eyes watched them go and a hungry young heart contrasted their lot with its own. Hungry! There never was anv iling like tho starvation which goes on sometimoK in those shut up farm houses. Boys and girls feel it alike,., hut the boys arc less to be pitied, f?r they can usually devise means to get away. How could Brio get away? She was thc only child. Her parents had not married young. When she was 19, they seemed almost elderly people, so badl}r does life on a bleak Hew England farm deal with human heings. Her mother, a frail little woman, grew year by year less fit for hard labor. The farm was not productive. Tho fir wood on the upper hill was the temple where she worship ed. There ene went with her Bible sn Sunday afternoons, with her. patching and stocking mending on .other days. There she dreamed her dreams and prayed her prayers, and while there she was content. But all too soon would come the sound of the horn blown from below or a call from thc house: "Brie, Bric, tlie men. are coming to supper. Make haste!" And she would be torced to hurry back to the worka day world. When she wno just 20, her father fell from his loaded hay wagon and fractured his thigh. There was no cure for the hurt, and after six months of hopeless attend ance he died. /Brie and her mother were left together on the lonely farm, with tho added burden of a large bill for doctoring and medi cines, which pressed like a heavy weight on their honorable hearts. Thc hired man, Reuben Hall, was well disposed and honest, but before itr. Dorset's death he had begun to talk of going-to the west, and Brio foreboded that he might not be will ing to stay with them. Mrs. Dorset) broken down by nursing and sor row, had become an invalid, unable to assist save in the lightest ways. Thc burden was sore for one pair of shoulders to bear. Bric kept up a bravo face by day, but at night .horrors of helplessness and appre hension seized her. Tho heavens Gcemed as brass, against which her feeble prayers beat in v^ain tho fu fare was barred, as it were, with an nnpaasablo gate. 1 What could ihev no ? Sell tho farm? That would take time, for No one in particular wanted to buy *|- If Reuben would stand by thom, juey might bc able to fight it out jor another year and what with but ter and eggs and thc corn crop make cnoiugh for his ,wages and a bare liv p ln?. But would Reuben stay ? . Onr virtues sometimes treat tts as .^vestments do and return a divi dend when we least exnect it. It was at tins Uara criais tu?t certain good deeds of Brie's in tho past stood her friend. She had always been good to Reuben, and her sweet ways and consideration for his com fort had gradually won a passage in to his rather stolid affections. Now, seeing the emergency she waa in and thc courage with which she met it, he couislnot quite find the heart to "leave the Little gal to make out by herself." Fully purposing to go, he staid, putting off the idea of de parture from month to month, and, though true to his idea of proper caution, he kept his good intentions to himself, so that relief of having him there was constantly tempered by thc dread lest he might go at any time. Still it was relief. So April passed and May and June. Tho crops were planted, tho vegetables in. Brie strained every nerve. She petted her hens and coaxed every possible egg out of them; she studied the tastes of the two cows; she maintained a brave show of cheer for her ailing mother, but all the lime abo was 6ick at heart. Everything seemed closing in. How long couid she keep it up? - The balsam firs of the hill grove could have told tales in those days. They were Brie's aole confidants. Tho consolation they gave, the coun sel they communicated, were mute, indeed, but none tho less real to the ansio girl who eat beneath them or la.d her cheek on their rough stems. June passed, and with early July came tho answer to Brie's many prayers. It carno, as answers to prayers often do, in a shape of which she had never dreamed.. Miss Mary Morgan, teacher in Grammar School rTo. 3, Ward 19, of the good city of Boston, .came, tired out from her winter's work, to spend a few days with Farmer Allen's wife, her second cousin, stopped ono day ul the Dorsels* door while driv ing to ask for a drink of water, took a fancy to the old house and to Brio and next day came over to propose herself as a boarder for three months. "I can only afford to pay $7 a week," she said. "But, on the other hand, I will try not to make much trouble if you will take mo." "Seven dollars a week! Onlv think!" cried Bric gleefully to hei mother after the bargain was com pleted and Miss Morgan gone, "Doesn't it seem like a fortune: It'll pay Reuben's wages and leave ever BO much over!-And she doesn't eat much meat, she says, and sh( likes baked potatoes and cream and sweet baked apples better than any thing. And there's tho keeping room chamber all cleaned and ready Doesn't it seem as if sb o was sent to us, mother ?" "Your poor father never felt Uki keepin boarders," said Mrs. Dorset "I used to kind of fancy the idea oJ it, but he wasn't willin. I thought it would be company to have one ii the houso if they wis nice folks. It does seem as if this was the Lord's ?fill fer us, her com.'u in so unex pected and all." Two days later Miss Morgan, witl a hammock, a folding canvas chai: and a trunkful of light reading arrived and took possession of he: new. quarters. For the first week o two she did little b?t rest, sleeping for hours at a lime in the ham mock, swung beneath the shadowing elms. Then, as the color came bael to her thin face and thc light to he eyes, she began to walk a little, t< sit with Brie in thc fir grove or rca< aloud to her on thc doorstep whil Bhe mended, shelled peas or picke? over berries, and all life seemed L< grow easier and pleasanter for tb dwellers in the solitary farmhouse The guest gave little trouble, sh paid her weekly duo punctually, ant the steady income, Bin all as it was made all the difference in the worli to Brie. As thc summer went by and sh grew at home with her new friem she found mach relief in coufiriin, to her the perplexities of her pos! tion. "I see," Miss Morgan said; "it i tho winter that is the puzzle. I wi! engage to como , back next summci EIS I have this, and that will hoi along, but tho time between no and then is the difficulty." "Yes," replied Brie, "the wir ter is thc puzzle, and Reuben's moi ey. Wc have plenty of potatoes an corn and vegetables to take t through, and there's tho pig to kil and the chickens will lay some. ] only there were any way in which could make enough for Reuben wages, wuH-'ouid manage.". "I must think it over," said Mil Morgan. She pulled a long branch of tl Balsam fir nearer as she spoke an buried her nose in it. It was tl first week of September, and si and Brio were sitting in thc hi grove. "I love this smell so," she sail "It is delicious. It makes n ?reara." Bric broke off a bough. "T shall hang it over your bed she said, "and you'll smell it r night." So the fir bough hung upon tl wall till it gradually yellowed ai tho needles began to drop. "Why, they are as sweet as cver swe-eter!'' declared urie, smelling handful which she had swept fro tho floor. Then an idea came ii? her head. She gathered a great fagot of tl branches and laid them to dry tho sun on. the ?toor of a little us piazzp When partly , dried, s atripped off thc needler, stuffed wi them a'square'cotton bag and ma for that a cover of soft sago gre ?ilk with an odd shot pattern ov *u ii wu? u piece or wnut nuu uee'.i her great-grandmother's wedding gown. Brio had made the first of n\\ the many balsam pillows. It was meant for a goodby gift to Miss Morgan. "Your cushion is the joy of my j life," wrote that lady to her a month after she went home. "Every one who sees it falls in love with it. Half a dozen people have asked rae how they could get one like it, and, Bric, this has given me an idea. Why should you not make them for 6ale ? I will send you up some pret ty silk for the covers, and you might cross stitch. a little motto if you like, TU copy some for you. Two people have given me an order al ready. They will pay $4 apiece if you like to try." This suggestion was tho small wedge of tho new industry. Brie lost no time in making the two pillows, grandmother's gown fortunately holding out for their covers. Then came some pretty red silk from Miss Morgan, with yellow filoselle for ?hc mottoes, and moro orders. Brie worked busily that winter, for her balsam pillows had to be made in spare moments when other work permitted. -Tho grove on thc hill : was her unfailing treasury of sup '. ply. The thickset twigs bent them j to her will, the upper branches ! seemed to her to rustic as with sat j isfaction at the aid they were giv I ing.. In the spring the old trees re . newed their foliage with vigorous purpose, as if resolved not to balk her in her work. The fir grove paid Reuben's wages j that winter. ?lis? Liorgan came back tho following June, and by that time balsam pillows were estab lished as articles of commerce, and Brie had a munificent offer from a recently established decorative art society for a supply of the needles at $3 a pound. It was hard, dirty work to prepare such a quantity, ; but she did not mind, j As I havp said, this was some years ago. Brie no longer lives in I the old home. Her mother died the third year after Miss Morgan came to them, the farm ?3 sold and Brie married. She lives now on a ranch j in Colorado, but she has never for gotten the fir grove, and the memo ry of it ?3 a help often in tho de sponding moments that come at i times to all lives. WHAT A BILLION MEANS. So glibly, indeed, do wo use the word "billion" tn at few of us pause to consider the immensity of the sum. How long would it take to count a billion? A few years per haps. Well, yes. At the rate of 100 a minute-a very liberal allow ance of speed - and calling eight hours a day's work, -18,000 would be counted a daj\ In a year of 300 working days the score would be 14,400,000, and it would require 69 1-3 years to' count the full bil lion. The prophet's span of three score and ten, minus a few months, would be consumed in the simple counting of the sum that trips so lightly from the tongue these days. -Minneapolis Times. TBS OTHER. EYE. James Albery the dramatist, was ono day descending in a great hurry the steps fronting the Sav age club, London, when a stranger in a state of mind which defied punctuation addressed him thus: "T beg your pardon, but is there a gentleman in this club with one eye of the name of X?" Albery answered the question ea gerly with another: "Stop a mo ment. What's tho name of the oth er eye ?"-Youth's Companion. HOSPITAL) LIFLS. . Whatever the cost of care in tho hospital for board, lodging, nurs- | ing, treatment, it is always in tho long run less than the price paid when the same siege of illness is | managed in any other way, Experi ence proves this again and again. Not all conditions demand hospital care. Far from it. But, when they do, going to the hospital is cheaper, easier, safer and more comfortable than staying at home. - Harper's Bazar. A S ti anare IrtMtnnce of Heredity. Two rouug men wore walking down Chestnut street, when one of them stumbled slightly. Instantly he cover ed his eyes with both hands ns though some dreadful explosion were about to happen. It was an odd and needless gesture, and In answer to a question from his friend he said of it: "Whenever I stumble I do that. All my life I have been doing it. My foot slips and at once It seems to me that a great noisf "s to burst forth and a great llame to shoot up into my eyes. I could no more break myself of this habit than I could stop breathing. "It is, my father says, a freak of heredity. My father ls blind. He .fought in tho civil war, and in n cer tain charge one day as he ran toward the enemy his foot slipped in a furrow, he stumbled, and a shell burst In his face, blinding him. He was n young man then, and I was not yet born. He has always ever since put his Lands tu his eyes on stumbling, and I develop ed the habit at the age of 4. "It Is strange, too, how In precisely the same way my father and I make our common gesture. We. place tho back of our left hand over our eyes horizontally and set the palm of our righi hand upon this vertically, form ing a kind of cross. My father will have Uic habit till he dies, and I sup pose that I, too, will have It all my life, thanks to heredity."- Philadelphia Kec ord. .? -Lady-"I don't like thia picture so well as I did the last enc you took of mc."

A short time ago the manager of one of the big atores in this city found that a rival establishment had just received a largo consignment of a very fine quality of lace. Needless tc say, that lace was ateo very ex pensive. He immediately sent ono of his subordinates over to the rival store with instructions to buy half a yard of the aforesaid lace. This he hung up in a conspicuous position with a Very legible price mark attached, and the price marked was very rea sonable. Then ho gave some in structions to the girls behind tho counter and retired to await devel opments. Two shoppers soon happened along that way, and thc piece of lace caught their attention. "Isn't that just too beautiful!" exclaimed one of them. But instead of answering her di rectly her companion grasped her hy the arm and whispered excitedly, "Look at tho price !" In answer to their eager questions thc shopgirl answered nonchalant ly: "That there lace? I don't think we've got any more. Wait a min ute." The two women waited while the girl consulted long and seriously wit li one of her fellows. Tho con sultation was about a dance which was to take place that evening, but the would be customers never knew the difference. When it was over, the girl returned and informed them: "Sorry, but we're all out of that lace. Guess you can get some over in Blank's, though," mentioning tho rival establishment. The two women hurried away, fearing that the sup ply in the other store might also be exhausted before their arrival, it wasn't, but they did not buy any lace, and, furthermore, they advised ali their friends to shop at Dash's, because the prices there arc so rea sonable. "But," they added, "you've got to get there carly or thc nicest things will be all 6old out."-New York Sun. THE: BOT AND TUB DOG. There is no truer friendship than that of the boy and the dog. There are no happier days to which tho j grown man may look back with a j tender regret for their passing than the days spent in the old home ' fields with the faithful four footed companion of youth. Confidence be tween boy and dog was perfect. The dog perhaps was not a thorough bred and had come into tho world minus a pedigree, but the boy ac cepted him for what he was and in the blessed ingenuousness of youth may even have found an occasion of added pride in the dog in some characteristic which he now knows was highly to the animal's discredit as determined by the bench show standards. And as for the dog, on his part, too, he took the boy for what he was, asking of him no moro than that he should condescend to make of himself a demigod for un stinted confidence, affection and worship. If thc scientists would de vise a way to represent tho care free happiness of boyhood days in some equivalent of foot pounds, the amount of it justly accredited to the companionship of boy and dog would be expressed in many tons.

The war of the Spanish succes sion was caused by a contest be tween Austria* and Fri nco as to whether an Austrian O? a French prince should sit on the uirone of Sr?ain. The war had been d?termin ?e oi. for reverai years before thc death of thc old King Charles II, but about tho time of his death an English lady in Paris was raising a glass of water to her lips at a crowd ed reception. A French gentleman jostled against her and spilled tho water on her dress. Her escort took up the matter, and a duel resulted, followed by 60 general a quarrel be tween the French and English resi dents that it was facetiously said the -war was brought on by the up setting of a glass of water.

The merest shadow of an excuse sufllccs for an Introduc tion, ns in two cases which a clergy man reports in the Chicago Times Jlerald. "Once," he said, "the last of our com pany had gone, and no new arrival was expected. I felt that I eould renew ac quaintance with my family and that we might sit down to a meal without strangers being present. Just then the doorbell rang. I opened the door my self, and a young lady whom I had aever seen before stood on the doorstep with a satchel in her hand. "'Are you the Dev. Dr. Wank?* she asked. "I told her that I was, and she intro duced herself ns coming from Ak ron, O.

Another guest he liked to tell about was a fussy old woman from his na tive town who had been waited on by every member of his faintly In turn and who exacted constant attention. When she was leaving after a month's visit,* he went to tho door to see her off and politely ventured to hope that her stay with them had been pleasant.

This was not so mueh thc result of a habit among workmen of calling their employer "the old man" as an eccentricity of the "old mau" himself. When he wanted to give aid anonymously, he said, "That's from the old man." Many gifts went out of his pocket under the signature of "The Old Man." A young girl went to the business of llce of the great packing concern one day to report the Illness of a friend who worked ns stenographer in the of fice. Mr. Armour happened to stand near und overheard the girl's request for nu advance In her friend's salary with which to pay the doctor's bill. Thrusting h's timmi) Into his vest lock et-that pocket which seemed a mint of greenbacks-he hauded the girl a roll of bills. "Take that to your friend," he said, then adding to relieve the girl's aston ishment, "Tell her the old man sent lt." Before the girl could thank him he was gone, but just ns she left the build ing he again appeared and, finding her gone, hurried hatless Into the street. "Here, here! I forgot something," he called. The girl turned back, and without a word Mr. Armour pressed something into her hand. She looked down. It was a ?20 bill.
