FOOD FROM THE GARDEN.
A Valuable Contribution to the
Farmers Table.

The great majority of farmers do not
think as they should about the amount
and quality of the food which they and
their families get from the garden. If
they did there would be less objection
to the tedious and slow work which is
often needed to be done on it. Begin
ming with the earliest vegetables, which
have perhaps been sown the previous
autumn, the garden will from May UNI
til November or later furnish some
thing for the table to add TO the farm
er's enjoyment of life, and also to fur
nish him strength for the work he has
to do. The farmers wife, who is eX-
pected to provide three meals per day
for the farmer. her children and the
hired men. could tell the farmer some
thing about this. Usually she does,
and it is to her plea, rather than his
own idea, that is to be credited early
blowing of the garden and the early
planting of peas. radish. lettuce and
other hardy vegetables that will earliest
come into play TO provide variety to
please the taste in the vegetables that
thereafter will appear on the farmers
table.
Reckoned only by the nutritive value
that the garden furnishes, its contribu-
ton to the food that the housewife is
enabled to provide is, as she well knows,
no inconsiderable part. Peas and beans,
ever when served green, contain a great
amount of nutrition. Those who read
their Bibles will find in the book of
Daniel an Endorsement of peas and
beans. called in olden times pulse, that
is fully borne out by latest modern in
vestigations. The Hebrew children
fed for experiment on pulse were f~airer,
fatter. and also more intelligent than
those who ate the kings meat, which
was generally provided for those who
were in preparation for the service of
the king. What is this but an indorse-
ment by Biblical authority of the brown
bread and beans. which is in modern
DAYS the characteristic diet of modern
Boston, whose citizens are everywhere
known in other cities as the bean eat
ers? 1t is reasonably certain that if
the nutrition which Americans are too
prone TO take in animal flesh were
more generally given in beans and peas,
the modern world. as were those old
time Hebrew children. would be the
better for it.-BOston Budget.

SILK HAT AND OVERALLS.
4 Little Story of Street Life Which
Points a Moral.

- HAAAAS SAoAy
Points n Moral.
Down on Broadway one bright morn
ing recently two men were walking
briskly. They were dressed with great
care and good taste. Shiny silk hats,
fresh gloves and glossy shoes indicated
not only attention to little things but
also a comfortable income.
Roth men had alert intelligent faces,
and each looked as if he might be
somebody" The younger man seemed
to be unknown to the majority of those
on the street, but in his companion Pc
destrians recognized n whose reputa-
ton is national, and whose picture has
appeared at one time and another In
newspapers all over the country.
At the corner of Cedar street stood q
short, chunky" lad, perhaps Is years
old, dressed in overalls and Jumper"
In one hand he carried 4 piece of lead
pipe, in the other n soiled scrap OF
paper. His smutty face had an anxious
look.
As the two well-dressed men reached
the boy he stopped them with: "Say,
boss, kin yer tell me where dis placeis?"
and he held out the scrap of paper. II
been chasin' meself all up an down de
street, an 1 can't hit de combination"
The older man took the paper with a
pleasant smile and said: 81 shall be
very glad to help you if I can"
He read the address and saw at once
that the place was probably on the
other side of the street. He excused
himself to his friend, waded through
the mud on the crossing, and. with the
plumbers apprentice at his side,
searched the signs without success.
Then he took the boy to the drug
store on the corner and helped him run
over the names in the directory until he
found that the boys employer had
made a mistake in the number.
The correct address was substituted
and the lad in overalls put upon the
right track by his distinguished guide
with such marked courtesy that the boy
paused, as he turned away, to say in a
somewhat subdued tone: "Much
'bliged to yer, sir"
The man in the silk hat bowed cour-
teously in acknowledgment, and re-
crossed the street to his waiting friend.
Seems to me you took a good deal
of trouble to set hat boy right" was
the younger mans greeting.

manners" said the other. "Boyslikeh him

HI BABY.
The Fond Papa Used Steelyards and
SnHs 1t Timed Mt Ten Pounds.

Ine FOnU fdDd lseu tcc lEuH IN
Snys 1t Tipped at Ten Pounds.
The fond papa found the steelyards
and was weighing the baby when Mrs.
Simpson, the neighbor, arrived. That
good woman did not say anything, but
neither of her two infants had been
weighed. Mr.. Simpson knew thatbabies
and fish should never have their weight
recorded. One could tell bigger stories
about either when not confronted by a
tabulated statement.
Baby was bowling in n most unmelo-
Gous manner, but this did not inter-
fere with the process of being weighed.
He was hooked up by a band which
gave him a good equipoise, and he
squirmed with vigor while his devoted
relatives held out their arms to save
hiIu in ease of 4 fall and while his proud
father adjusted the counterpoise slides
on the arm of the steelyards.
Suddenly the parents face clouded.
Something is wrong with these
weights" he said. why. 1 can't get it
TO balance correctly. Five pounds! The
idca!"
The g~randmothers looked at each
other and wisely kept silent. They had
seen babies before.
AT a rough guess I should say this
child weighs ten pounds. Wouldn't you,
Mrs. Simpson,"
II am sure of it." said Mrs. Simpson,
surprised at her own mendacity. She
had been coached by Simpson until she
didn't know the truth when she saw it.
The baby sneezed. There was a
chorus of blessings on its precious head,
and the steelyard recorded two pounds
more. How it was lone will never be
known unless Mrs. Simpson lent n help
ing hand of about that weight. Then
the new father insisted on the baby
being clothed, and he ran the counter
poise up to nine and declared it was the
naked truth. And the fact was record
ed by one of the subsidized grandmoth-
srs in the family Bible.
When the young man took the steel
yard back to the grocer from whom he
had borrowed it that good man asked:
"How much doan the baby vay?"
Under the influence of that eye ac-
customed to the accurate measure OF
Goldfish and molasses the new father
wilted. He said, however, with a wild
disregard for morality that it weighed
ten pounds. And the grocer stuck his
thumbs in his vest armpits and said:
"Vos dot all?"
Then he wished he had stuck to the
truth. although Simpson told him later
he would have had it ten on the record
or left the page blank. And now the
baby's father says it really was ten
pounds hat he weighed, but it was
better to record it nine because of the
luck in odd numbers. And he really
believes it.AChica1o TimeS-Herald.

1t would seem hat French thieves
and housebreakers. when searching for
art treasures, are more or less affected
by the genius of their spoils. Recently
IN enterprising but undiscovered per-
sonage managed to effect an entry in
to the Maison Caree. at Mines, and to
carry off the famous Goddard collec-
ton of over 5000 Roman coins. In
stead of rushing off with them &c the
melting pot, he seems to have 4
dered about the other interesting relics
of antiquity, for which the old provin-
cial city is famous; and. after some hes
~itation, selected the immediate neigh
borhood of the Tourmagne-that still
unexplained enigma of the PASTOR
n hiding place. The spoiler of the
Maison Caree, in his choice. seems to
have leaned to the views of those ar
chaeologists who maintain that the
Tourmagne was a treasure house in
Roman or pre-Roman times. At any
rate, he used it as such, for the whole
collection was found stored away
there, and has now been once more
replaced in its usual and accessible
show cases.-N. Y. Times.

still the same: Not tall enough"
At length the ~grenadiers of the guard

The True scripturaI Age of MAN.

We have all heard Of the well-worn
axiom attributed to the psalmist: THE
days of a man are three score and ten,"
but in Genesis vi. 3, will be found the
following passage: Yet his days shall
be an hundred and twenty years" This
passage seems to have been overlooked,
as l have rarely seen it quoted, al
though. curiously enough, it exactly
corresponds to the theory that man
should attain five times the period of
reaching his maturity.-Alice Glenesk,
