Then, how or why she knew not, a

wavering. but a light, and with it came
resignation, came calm. A great peace
possessed her. In one of those divine,
clairvOyant moments in which the soul
realizes the incOmprehenSible and I'M
explainable, she saw she knew not what
meaning, what justification of that
which a moment before had caused her
despair. In this ineXplicable illumina-
ton. she knew not why. she was glad
Understand she could not, and yet she
believed. Her spirit bowed in subnis-
sion and gratitude, and mounted in the
exaltation of praise and thanksgiving.
She moved away silently over the grass,
which her feet seemed scarcely to
touch, her eyes on the blue of the sky,
but conscious neither of earth nor sky.
Il shall never see the dandelions again, .
she repeated. But she was not unhap-
py. Only the poor, bare stalks. bending
under her skirts as she passed. swayed
and bowed in the breeze and their silky
down, rose and envirled about her in
hImy clouds.
AS a matter of fact. however, you
know, she did see the dandeliOns again,
two. or three days after on a quiet side
street where the great trees make a
dense shade and they blossom later.
She was driving with a party Of friends
and the humor Of the whole situation
impressing her, or because she was in a
different mood. she began to laugh
rather wildly as one does when one is
not perfectly sure whether or not ones
humor is quite sincere, or as one does
when it is a choice between laughter or
tears and one decides upon the former
because it is less likely to attract curl
Gus attention. Her friends asked where
fore, but she feared they might not ap-
preciate the joke, or else she was not
exactly sure it was a joke. So she made
some sort of excuse and turned with
an odd expression. half mystic, half
satirical, to watch until they were out
of sight, the golden dandelions dotting
the bright spring grass.

An original fancy for summer cot

THE PIE HABIT.
1t Is Mainly Confined to Those Born
In This Country.

1t Is Mainly Confined to Those Born
In This Country.
Pie is consumed chiefly by the native
Americans. Foreigners eat very little
of it. A German, for example, might
eat three pies in year, while good
Yankee would consume as many in a
week The English, the Italians and
the French are small pie eaters. The
English eat plum pudding, and the
Italians like fruit. New England and
the middle states constitute the area Of
greatest consumption, but the pie belt
tensively eaten all through the west.
Pie is eaten much more generally In
the north than in the south. Chicago Is
a great pie center. st. Louis Is not 80
good. Milwaukee also ranks low. One
would not think that there are means
for ascertainlng the facts in regard to
pie consumption, but have gathered
statistics on the subject during the last
two years which enable me to compute
with reasonable correctness the con-
sumption Of pies in every state in the
Union. Pies are made in greater vari-
ETY. than formerly, and the supplies are
brought from greater distances--in
fact, from all parts of the world. The
season of pies made Of green fruit has
been prolonged, and pies are made of
canned fruit the year round.-Milwau-
kee Sentinel.

SEAWEED AS FOOD.

When dry it Is richer than oatmeal or
Indian corn in heterogeneous constituents
and takes rank among the most nutri-

To prepare seaweed for the table 1t

eaten, though in England less atten-
ton is paid to them than they deserve,
and few kinds appear at table.
A curious error is to suppose that
fungi are eatable and tOadstools poi
sonous. No such line Of demarcation
exists nor, strictly speaking, has the
name toadstools any precise meaning.
Very many fungi are edible, and the
common agaric usually eaten in Eng
land Is not the most palatable and
wholesome. Few foods are more sa-
worry, and none are greater favorites
than well cooked fungi, and the souls
Of vegetarians yearn for them.-Pear-

LONG BURNING FIRES.

Some In England Which Have Not
Been Out For Centuries.
There are domestic fires burning In
Yorkshire, England, today which have
never been out for hundreds Of years.
At the old fashioned farmhouses in the
dales Of Yorkshire peat is still burned.
The fuel Is obtained from the moors,
and stacks Of it are kept by the farm
ers in their stack garths.
The country round about Is noted for
it's "girdle cakes" which are made
from dough baked in quaint pans sus-
pended from the peat fires. These fires
are kept glowing from generation to
generation, and the son warns him
self at the fire which warmed his sire
and his grandsire and his grandsire's
sire and which will warm his son and
his sons son.
There is a fire at Castleton, in the
Whitby district, which has been burn
ing for over 200 years. The record
probably Is held by a farmhouse at
Osmotherly, in the same district. The
fire has been burning for 800 years.
and there are records to show that 1t
has not been out during the last three
centuries.--St. Louis Post Dispatch.

WHEAT RAlSERS HAVE NO REM
EDY FOR ALLEGED MONOPOLY
IN GRAIN,
Legislature Has Failed to Provide Pen
atty Necessary to Make Prohibition
Effective.

If all the leading Washington grain
buyers have made an agreement to
hold down prices to be paid for
wheat as it is alleged they have done,
there is no law to prevent or pun
ish them, says the attorney general, be-
cause the state legislature has failed
to pass antitrust laws to make the
antitrust constitutional provision eff
fective.
w. H. Reed, deputy state grain in
spector, addressed to the attorney gen.
eral the following inquiries:
'Is there any law in this state pro-
hibiting combinations of dealers who
agree not to compete in prices offered
in buying? If there is such law, will
you kindly refer me to it's title, date
and publication, wherein it can be
found, and to any decisions tnereun-
der? If there is no such state law,
will you likewise refer me to the ma
tional law and DECISIONS hereunder,
and where to be found published, upon
which such combine could be prosecut-
ed in this state?'
Finds no Statute.
The attorney general wrote his re-
ply today. He says:
after considerable research I have
not been able to find anything in state
Or federal statutes which makes such
acts criminal. The matter would seem
to be more properly one of state jur-
isdiction and beyond the scope of fed
eral legislation, unless it should direct
ercise of governmental functions I'M
der the United States constitution.
Such combinations or collisions, how
ever, are against public policy, in
way, upon which it is more or less
difficult to predict remedy under
our present laws.
THE constitution Of this state, I'M
der section % of article II, forbids
monopolies and trusts, and such COM
binations as are referred to in your
letter are clearly 'monopolies' as de-
fined by the common law, to which
we must look for a definition of this
term. They are, therefore, clearly il
legal, both under this constitutional
provision and at common law. The
term monopoly as now understood
embraces any combination, the ten
dency of which is to prevent COM
petition in it's broad and general sense
and to control prices to the detriment
of the public
Refers to Constitution.
After quoting section %, article -
general continues:
CAS- will be noticed the first part of
this provision declares that monopo-
lies and trusts shall never be al
lowed in this state, while the latter
part of the provision declares that the
legislature shall pass laws for the en-
forcement Of the section by adequate
penalties. Our legislatures have never
SO far, passed laws carrying penal
ties for the enforcement of this pro-
vision, and it may be considered that
such constitutional law as this is not
specially self-active without having
penalty of law to enforce it,
