Decline Of Country Life.

France, which is generally held to
present conditions as favorable to tho
agriculturist as any other country,
shows the same steady decrease in the
population in her country districts
which is noticeable here. To nation
which, unlike America, owes little to
immigration, this is no light matter,
and French writer's and political econ
omists are much exercised over it.
Among the many panaceas suggested to
remedy what is felt to be very serious
evil, that of readjusting taxation, so
that the conditions Of life shall be mado
easier and consequently more attractive

Half way across a bridge Just a

she became conscious some one was
advancing toward her from the opposite
direction.
She looked quickly up A gentleman

gray linen suit and straw hat-Quite a
gigantic young fellow he appeared to
her startled gaze.
''Go back!' she cried. ''Or, wait-I
shall! The board is unsafe, rotten-go
back! OhI'
The advice came too late. Crack
crack-crash! went the slender bridge.
The gentleman made spring into
the stream, caught Miss Russlin, who
had been whirled away, as she was
being swept by. He drew her to the
bank.
II am so sorry!' he said, taking off
his hat and standing bareheaded and
handsome before her. II did not see

He was more than good looking-he
was attractive looking. The gay, sweet,
gentle nature which had shone out in

Miss Russlin was dripping. Miss
Russlin was uncomfortable. Still, she
was decidedly curious. She knit those
thin, dark brows of hers into a puzzled
frown.

oeEeHe Drown eyes "n1cn looked up
from the letter she had been reading.
The young lady to whom the ecstatic
and interrogative remark had been adj
dressed lifted her beautiful dark brows
in languid curiosity She was coming
up the steps Of the large, handsome,
red-shingled farm-house-a residence
which was sufficiently modern to be
artistic as we'll as massive.
For the Beifords had been wealthy
people when, few years ago, they
built Riverview for a country residence.
The collapse of a great New York
bank had made imperative less elab-
crate mode of life than that to which
they had been accustomed, and even
necessitatod the taking Of boarders dur
ing the summer months. To be sure,
these were people who had been their
friends in more prosperous days or
others recommended by them.
Quite exclusive-however liberal the
terms otfered-was Mrs. Bedford TO per-
sons desiring to enter her home. There
was no hesitation, however, concerning
Miss Russlin, when old DR.. Harland's
letter requesting accommodation for her
had been received.
Miss Russlin's name, position and per-
sonality were all of enviable holiness.
And very sweet and amiable girl she
was, too, Mrs. Bedford told herself
warmly, when Olga Russlin had become
member of her household-the very
sweetest and prettiest girl she had ever
known.

Olga. "Something very delightful?'
Very to me, my dear-I beg pardon!
Miss Russlin."
Don't beg pardon" said Olga, with a
laugh.
She was the most unceremonious of
mortals.
I've just got letter from JIM" said
Mrs. Bedford, land he is coming home"
Miss Russlin was up now on the
broad, low-railed balcony, which was at
this hour deliciously cool and pleasant.
The awnings of green and white, the
bamboo-fringe screens; the soft, odorous
rugs of ginger grass, the willow settles
and Austrian rockers, the pots of YER
bena and mignonette-all made the
place paradise of repose.
''Jim!' echoed Miss Russlin. .'Who
Is Jim?'
She sunk down on rattan stool,
threw aside her parasol and began
drawing off her gloves.

speak of him? Why, Jim is my boy"
"Oh" said Olga
Over her went sweeping sensation
of indignation A boy coming here

queried Miss Russlin of Miss Russlin,

however, sought by insects which feed
upon their pollen, of which they pro.

flower presents the better will be its
chance of cross-fertilization, and the
greater the likelihood of its offspring
surviving and spreading. Inconspicuous

WOMAN'S INTUITION.

Nearly Always Right In Her Judgment In
Regard to Common Things.
An old gentleman over seventy, came into
the city from his farm, without his 0vercoat.
The day turned chilly and he was obliged to
forego his visit to the fair.
To friend who demonstrated with him
for going away from home thus unprepared,
he said: II thought It was going to be warm;
my wife told me to take my overcoat, but
wouldn't Women have more sense than
men anyway"
A frank admission.
Women's good sense Is said to come from
intuition; may it not be that they are more
close observers Of little things. One thing
is certain, they are apt to strike the nail on
the head, in all the ordinary problems Of
life, more frequently than the lords Of crea-
ton.

suspected Of dangerous tendencies in the
direction Of Brights disease"
The veteran newspaper correspondent,

this statement, suggests: "Possibly Alice is
