The Test Of Friendship.

An epicure well known for his &C.
centricities, Grenod de Ia Reyniere,
wishing to ascertain who were his
true friends, had recourse to the fol
lowing stratage1n: He remained in
doors and gave himself out to be ii,
admission being vigorously refused
to all comers. A fortnight later he
sent out cards to his friends an

them to his funeral, which was to
take place the next day at 4 p. IN.
Only small number put in al ap

It was just dinner time, and 70
postpone indefinitely this important
meal for the sake of a funeral was
decidedly mark of affection in the
eyes of the departed . The friends
found waiting at the door hearse
and several mourning coaches; a
bier covered with a pail stood in the
porch. They were shown into a
waiting room all draped in black.
Half an hour had passed when a side
door was thrown open and a lveried
servant said in solemn tones:
''Gentlemen, dinner is on the ta
ble"
On being ushered into the next
apartment they beheld a table laden
with the choicest viands and most
costly wines. G1enod de la Reyniere
was seated in his accustomed place
waiting to receive his guests, covers
being laid for the exact number o1
his friends in extrenis. All present
testified their joy to the master o
the house.

The Evergreen State is a hugo

England and Delaware, as Pennsyl

tains 69,994 square miles. It is $50
miles wide between the Pacific coast

tanned 1890 souls, but its people
now assert that they number 800, 900.
They have suffered some losses in
certain cities, or the increase would
be from $4,000 to 90, 900 greater.
The state shows to poor advantage
for those who cross it upon the

What Will the Coming Man Eat?

How will the coming man be nour
ished? If he follows the teachings
which the science Of nutrition will
supply and the teachings of economy
will enforce, his diet will be better fit
ted to his wants. # his work be intel
lectual, he will avoid excess If it
be physical, he will have enough to
make the most Of himself and his
work. He will learn to economic
in the purchase and use of his food,
and devote that part of his income
which he saves thereby to meeting
his higher needs. These considera-
tions suggest another question: Has
man yet reached his highest develop
ment? The poorer classes Of people
and few Of us realize how numer-
GUS they are-the world over are

The majority Of mankind live on 8
