hurriedly over to make up for long arrears
of a previous Protestant life. So to the
wife of my bosom unfolded my financial
scheme. Protesting at first she at last
consented-and on faithful knees assisted
in counting the beans.
Well that evening you should have seen
the ladies rake the beans in! As I have
already hinted, the sisters were no longer
young-had not been in fact for thirty
years or so. Thin and angular, they had
long and skinny fingers. And you should
have seen them scratch for beans. Such q
raking down of pots was never before
seen outside of Boston town. Talk of
scattering bread upon the waters and hav-
ing it returned to you four-fold after
many days! That increase were as moth
ing to the multiplication of my beans.
And few minutes, not "many days." did
it. Memory may fail me at this distance.
But I think redeemed that evening-in
round numbers-about peck more beans
than had issued. After vain essay at
counting we gave up the task in despair
the woods were altogether too full Of
them. But we said nothing to the daugh-
ters of an hundred earls-and all these
beans-about it. The severest measure
we resorted to was quart pot-and that
we borrowed Of the cook.
"Would you have believed 1t of themi"
said the partner of my bosom-and losses
late that night, after the decks were
cleared and had solemnly signed precis
never again to touch bean.

A SOLOMON NEEDED.


If Solomon were alive he would have a
chance to add to his reputation as a judge.
The case which needs his wisdom has
arisen in Brooklyn. Mr. and Mrs Gerald
have a baby, or, at least, there is a baby
which they have owned. That baby is
now in the possession of Mrs. Fegeler, who
has been boarding it while its parents have
been travelling with theatrical company.
Ten dollars month was to be paid for the
child's board, and Mrs. Fegeler says that
Mr.. Gerald owes her forty dollars, while
Mr.. Gerald says he owes her ten dollars.
But Mrs. Fegeler won't give up the baby,
which she holds as security for the unpaid
board bill and the case has been adjourned
for week. Meanwhile some questions are
being asked. For instance, can storage be
charged and collected on the baby while it
remains unsettled for, and if the par
ents are unable to raise the amount
of storage, can it be sold as
unclaimed matter?" Being alive, will
the holder be justified in refusing it
food and drink, thereby radically chang
ing its condition, and consequently mater
tally affecting its value; and if food and
drink are supplied, can they be charged
against the property, despite the willing
ness of the original owners to relieve the
holder of this additional burden; and if
they cannot, where does the holders COM
pensation come in for the additional ex-
penditure for keeping the collateral securi-
ty in good condition and unimpaireda
It is pity that the law schools have got
through work for the year. This baby
case would be good one for the young
men to exercise with.

FREE, BUT NOT VERY FREE.

Rev. A. E. P. Albert, D. D., calls atten-
ton to phase of the negro problem in
the south which greatly needs attention.
This is the condition of the negro farm
laborer. In the first place his wages are
small, averaging fifty cents day, accord
ing to DR.. Albert, although this amount is
supplemented by five pounds of pork and
pack of meal week, the women mean
while receiving thirty cents day.
During period of rain he has no income
whatever, and by virtue of the plantation
store" system what scanty money he is
nominally entitled to receive is withheld
from him and he is obliged to accept gro
ceries and other household necessities in
stead. The planter himself manages the
store, and when pay day arrives distributes
sort of plantation money in the form
of pasteboard tickets, which have a
certain money value at this one establish
ment. These tickets are supposed to be
eashed monthly or bi-monthly, but as a
matter of fact the small wages of the farm
hand usually precludes him from saving
the pasteboards sufficient time to convert
them into money. With such system in
operation, it is easy to understand that the
planter has the negro well in hand, and
may charge him almost any price he de-
sires for the purchases he makes at the
plantation store, so that the black works
practically for his food and clothes, anc
these of inferior quality.
A man couldn't very we'll get ahead un
| der this system even if he had ambition
and he wouldn't have much ambition afte
being held in bondage in this way. Emf
grafton to a place where the plantatio,
store system doesn't exist appears to b
about the only solution of the difficulty.

THE DOT OF THE L.
Hew the Mode OF Making 1t Indi-
Gates Character.
Dall nlalI

Gates Character.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.l
Do you put the dot high above the letter
ia Do you put it close to the lettera Do
you send it flying off beforel Is it fat,
round, irregular? These are the questions
which master in the art of deciphering
character from handwriting asks in the
present number of "Vom Feels zum
Meer." In each case your popularity is
the outward and visible sign of some idio-
syncrasy. "Look at the dots of your i;
try to make them different-smaller,
larger, rounder, more oblong-yeu cannot
do it. The dot above tho only changes
with your character" The following are
few of the conclusions "Edelweiss"
draws from the telltale dot.
The writer begins by giving graceful
lesson to the ladies: "If you often forget
to dot your i, you will often forget other
things which seem unimportant to you,
but which for the comfort of every day
life are as necessary as the dot is to the l.
If you have often to look in vain for the
dot, you will look often in vain for otAer
things, because you have not, put them in
their proper places. For instance, you
put the fifth knitting needle into your
book because you were suddenly called
away and had no better bookmark at hand.
You are anxious to finish your sock
where is the fifth needlea The servant
girl must have mislaid it while busting.
Servants are such trouble! In order to
practice patience and self-control you
knit on with your four kneedles, gently
pardoning,' and presently turn back to
your interesting novel. The book opens

eff the dot flies high above and far
away from the letter to which il belongs
your hopes, thoughts, wishes and aspira-
tions are apt to fly about in fsr-off re-
gions, and instead of making practical use
of the present day you dream of the
ideals of the future. If this ''high-
flown" dot is of an oblong shape, and If,
in conjunction with it, the loops of your
l, b, g. f, ETC., are loose and long, then
goodbye symmetry and calm, for you
have very little self-control.
eff your husbands dots are heavy,
shapeless and blotchy, you will have q
hard time of it where food is concerned.
He will not be satisfied with cold supper,

vegetables On the other hand you have,

the grumbler, and to incline him to listen
to your wishes. Your request for a new
gown, for theater tickets, which was per
emptorily refused before dinner, is list
ened to with much more interest after the
man of the heavy dots has had a good
meal. Never ask such a man to grant you
favor when he is waiting for his dinner.
The larger the dots appear, the more criti-
cally dish will be attacked and Judged.
Carlsbad, during the time when patients
go to drink the waters, is full of people
who dot their is heavily"
The dainty dot, on the other hand, If it
goes together with a handwriting that con-
sists of thin strokes only, denotes mind
above ''these things" ''Such dainty
dot husband will be easily satisfied with
his meals. He will hardly know what he
is eating. You can get nothing 'out of
him by giving him dainty dish. He
may even offend you by scant praise,
when you happen to have prepared dish
with your own hands. 1t may even hap
pen-if other graphological signs agree
that such a dainty dotter' forgets his
meal-times altogether, allows everything
to get cold, does not eat, or praise or
blame, and spoils the pleasures of the
table for himself and others"
