But.a season Of it was enough. This year we

sunrise and rainbow silks. Paris, however, is
faithful to her old love and still brings it forth
on occasions. She occasionally sends q foulsrd

But one girl is willful. Her summer swain
has also donned this color, and 1t doesn't suit
her to be clad in the same shade as he. When
they sit on the sands their identity is lost to
the gazer from behind. Besides, the beach sweeps
away from the bluest Of blue seas and the girls

Pre-eminence OF tho Bean.

Beans are more nutritious than meat, and it
is likely that at no distant day science will
devise some method of preparing them as food
that will overcome what is now the greatest
obstacle to their universal use, the difficulty
with which they are digested by persons either

growth Of population and the consequent in
crease in the cost of animal food. they will take
the place OF the latter to considerable extent
They are exceedingly rich in portein, or muscle

power OF sustaining men through srduous
physical toll. The lumbermen of Maine, it is
said, almost live on baked beans and never tire
