A Market Scene In This Quaini French Province. t Brittany is a land where the peasants till the earth in zouave trousers, torea dor jackets covered with arabesque embroideries and green waistcoats around which run lines of crimson. The women wear short red skirts, great medici collars and coifs that flut ter about their heads like the wings of a doves. From beneath the points of their black caps the children gaze at you with wide eyes full of the curiosity a of animals. These people live in houses built of sculpture- granite and sleep in open work closets carved like the mouchara bicks of Egypt. In spite of the "Breton Intericrs" and 6"Ileturis of the Fishermen" with which painters swamp the market this race is still unknown or misunder stood. for they should be seen not in paintings, but in their homes, in their old time streets, on market days and when, in fair time, the tents are pitched in the village market places. Fiery little horses draw to market fish, fine vegetables and all the early produce of Roscoff. They are spread out upon the s!dewalk. Chickens cackle; goats bleat; pigs, tied by the leg, strain toward the vegetab"cs, sniff ing at the fresh greens. Farmers in sabots, carrying great blue umbrellas under their arms, with the two ribbons of their felt hats float ing down their backs, pick their way among the Dinan china displayed on the ground-capacious soup tureens, cider jugs and plates . covered with painted flowers and grotesque figures. The peasants converse with but few gestures; they bargain in gutteral rs tones. These taciturn people forget them selves in the barrooms on fair days. The taverns are full of noise. You may hear the sound of an accordion and the plaintive note of the? binion (a sort of bagpipe), leading monotonous dances. Into the harbor come boats laden with fish; other boats go out. The fishermen are full of business. Next week will occur the departure for the new country. There are women who weep. Above all this agitation the smoke of the village chimneys mingles with the great white clouds. The quiet sea mir rors the sun.-Artist Castaigne in Cen tury. ________ LITERARY TREASURES. Some Which have Been and Some Which May Be Lost to View. The world, we have been assured time and again, knows nothing of Its ie greatest men. Perhaps it is equally ig n- norant about its greatest books. Are we quite sure that the idols in our lit erary pantheon are arrayed in their due order of precedence? The rules of precedence change, and who shall as sert that those prevalent at any given 0 time are the final ones? But, above all, are we quite certain that there may not be a notable work of genius lying unnoticed and unknown amid the wrecks of the river of time, waiting g only for some lucky accident that shall ' reveal it in all its beauty to an aston ished world? Such accidents with such results have been frequent in the history of the past Indeed such accidents have pre served or have revealed to the world no insigninicant proportion of its now~ acknowledged masterpieces. The books of the Bible themselves have experienced the narrowest es apes from what might have resulted in their total loss. The most notable 1~ example Is that of Deuteronomy, which Sdisappeared from the Jewish world for over a century. The story of its' re discovery by the high priest Hezekiah during the reign of good King Josiah is set forth in the Old Testament Shakespeare was practically forget ten In the -days when Addison wrote his "Account of the Greatest English Poets," with never a mention of the name of the very greatest, yet it was S. shortly afterward that Shakespeare ,was resuscitated. Fitzgerald's "Omar Khayyam" and Blackmore's "Lorna Doone" dropped stillborn from the press and later won a sudden popularity by accident.-WIl. 1am S. Walsh in Era Magazine. Wanted a Dog. Fair Customer-I live in the suburbs, and I want a good house dog. Dealer SYes, mum. "But of course I don't want one that will keep us awake all night barking at nothing." "No, mum." "He ne must be big and strong and fierce, you know." "Yes, mum." "Yet as gentle as a lamb with us, you know." "Yes, ~mum." "And he must pounce on every tramp that comes along'and drive him off." "Yes, mum." "But he mustn't interfere with. any poor but honest man looking for work." "No, mum." "If a burglar comes prowling about at night the dog should make mincemeat of him in an instant" "Yes, mum." "And of course he mustn't molest peo pl~who come hurrying in at all hours of the night to call my husband. He's a doctor, yo know." "No, mum. I see what you want. You want a thought :eader dog." "Yes, I suppose so. Can you send me one?" "Very sorry, mum, but I'm just out of that kind."-Scottish American. N ot Unreasonlable. - There lives in a Massachusetts town a young woman whose courtesy never deserts her, even in the most trying i moments. Not long ago she stood Uswaying back and forth, holding to a strap in a crowdled electric car on a rainy day. A young man who stood next her had ad a dripping umbrella, with which he emhasized his remarks to a friend. Asi'-. pounded it down on the floor of the car an expression of anxiety gradun & ally deepened on the young woman's f ace, and at last when the umbrella had become quiet for a moment she spoke. "I beg your pardon," she said in a clear, calm tone. "I am sorry to troun ne ble you, but could you kindly change Lts ouIr umbrella to my other foot for a moment so that I may empty the water out of my rubber shoe in which the umbrella is now fastened?" Future Vengeance. d"You'll be sorry for this some day!' howled the son and heir as his father released him from the position he had occupied across the paternal knee. - "I'll be sorry? When?" "When I get to be a man." "You will take revenge by :whipping . your father when you are big and strong and I am old and feeble, will you, Johnny?" . "No, sir," blubbered Johnny, rubbing himself, "but I'll spank your grand children till they can't resti"-New York Times. nsBotanica Niote.

A Peaceful Experience at the East Norley General Emporium. The exhausted shopper sank upon the sofa, while from the open mouth of her reversed Boston bag poured a I cascade of little parcels, freshly strug gled for at the Monday bargain coun ters. "Oh," she cried, "why does one have to shop in the city? Everything is so hurried. confused, complex, distracting and nerve destroying! If I were only back at East Norley! "Last sumnier vhile I was there I had to buy a yard of dark blue ribbon, and I drove over to the one store at the crossroads to get it. It took some 1 five minutis to convince the amiable proprlietor that I really wanted dark blue and could not be persuaded to ac cept light instead, which he considered more suitable and becoming to a fair complexioned person of my years; he added reassuringly that anybody under forty was not too young for baby blue. "Another five minutes were given up to his incredulous reluctance to believe that two inches wide would not do as well as three, especially as the three Inch width had been mislaid on a top shelf and he would have to get a step ladder to get it down. Several more minutes passed in the seareh for the ladder, its laborious portage from the cellar, Its erection and repair with a piece of twine, the braces being broken, and his final ascent to the dim and dusty upper region, whence the box of wide ribbons was at length produced. "I found a shade that would do, and he leisurely measured off a yard, fin gered it, then paused to rub a per plexed ear and smile ingratiatingly. "'Fact is,' he confided sweetly, 'I sold the last pair of scissors in the store just before you came in, and I've forgotten my jackknife. It's kind of awkward cutting it off, but I'll man age somehow. I guess there's an ax In the shed.' , "He carried the silken roll away with him as he started with comforta ble deliberation to find the ax, which, though the hunt for it was long and persevering, evidently could not be found, for we caught a glimpse of him at last through the half open door to the back shop severing the required yard of ribbon with an old chisel. "It was all so serene, so soothing and so satisfactory! I believe I shouldn't be a wreck before New Year's every winter if I could only do my Christ mas shopping at the East Norley gen eral emporium."-Youth's Companion. FRUITS AND FLOWERS. In setting out an orchard keep to gether all trees of the same variety. Good garden soil is good for pot plants, but can be improved by the ad dition of leaf mold. Weak rosebushes may often be made to grow by giving them an occasional watering with liquid manure. One advantage with small fruits is that they -can be made to furnish a supply long before trees come Into bear In g. In planting a border don't plant every thing in rbws. A row of hollyhocks, for instance, isn't half as attractive as irregularly placed groups that break the outline. With pot plants in a general way too ltl~e water is better than too much. The dropping leaves indicating drought are more easily remedied than yellow leaves, the result of being kept too wet. In preparing pots for plants the pieces of broken pots or crockery in the bottom should never be omitted, as without proper drainage the soil be comes sour, the plants languish and the leaves become yellowish., Willing to Be sued. "I once threatened to sue an old fel low in fermont for $10 that he owed a client of mine," said a New York law yer, "but the threat did not seem to Ima press him much. "'What good will it do you to sue me?' he asked. "'It will get the money,' I answered. "Here the fellow came up close to me and said, 'Say, if that's so, sue me for $20, won't you, and give me the other $10.' "I gave up hope of collecting that claim."-New York Times, Home Discomforts. "No," grumbled the husband in a spasm of confidence to a friend, "I have no place at ail for my books. The storage room is kept exclusively for my wife." "Oh, she puts away those things that are a trifle too good to be destroyed, yet scarcely good enough to be of use." -Brooklyn Life.
