worthless in flavor by dipping 1t in
water some hours before using. Pc.

other vegetables by the washing
process. They should not be put In

the first time in six years Mrs.
Mary Baker G. Eddy, discoverer
and founder of Christian Science,
recently submitted to q real news

Mrs. Eddy's study and forty min

the most famous woman in the
United States.
1t is not my purpose to write a
brief for Mrs. Eddy, but to relate
with entire truthfulness and accu-
racy just what occurred between us
at Pleasant View. My first i'm
preston of Mrs. Eddy was that
she has remarkable memory-a
memory.for dates, names and cir
cumstances far superior to mine.
Had her mental competency not
previously been called in question
by her "next friends, /" the thought
that she was not fully competant

MRS. MARY BAKER EDDY
Gives Real Interview IN Her Concord Home
Aged Leader of Christian Science Talks Freely.

I was received at Pleasant View
about 1857 o'clock by Mrs. Laura
Sargent, Mrs. Eddy's companion.
I chatted with Archibald Mcclellan
one Of the three trustees of Mrs.
Eddy's estate, and in a few mo-
ments was conducted to Mrs. Ed
dy's study at the head of the stairs
on the second floor.
READS RAPIDLY AND CLEARLY.
When 1 entered her study Mrs.
Eddy was reading a typewriter
letter, and she held it in her left
hand as she rose to greet me.
When she had made me welcome
and had resumed her chair she
said:
III was just reading a most
cheering and comforting letter
rapidly and clearly" When she
had laid the letter aside / remark
ed that never had had the pleas
ure of meeting her personally be-
fore, and l said: "You do not ap-
per in public much of late years,
Mrs. Eddy. I am sure many peo-
pie would be glad to see more OF
you"
cit is quite impossible to do so, "
she replied.

III shall be glad to present you
with a copy of my book. Would
you like it?'
! / replied | would, and Mrs.
Eddy reached for push button
which hung conveniently at her
right hand, and there was an ans
wering ring, three times repeated,
in another part of the house. AL
most Immediately Mrs. Sargent ap-
peared in the doorway and said,
eyes, Mrs. Eddy"
"Please get a copy of Science
and Health, dear, for Mr.. Park, "
said Mrs. Eddy, and Mrs. Sargent
bowed and disappeared. She re-
turned quickly with the copy OF
the book, and Mrs. Eddy said:
''Thank you, dear.'' Mrs. Sargent
asked if there was anything else
Mrs. Eddy wanted, and she re-
piled, "No DEAR" and then Mrs.
Sargent retired.
"Dear," spoken in a kind, moth
erly way, appears to be a favorite
expression with Mrs. Eddy. At a
later time in the afternoon, when
she had summoned the Bohemian
housekeeper to the study, she call
ed her 'EDear," and several times
when replying to questions l had
asked her, she spoke to me similar
ly, saying eyes, DEAR" or No,
dear"
Before L left her this afternoon
Mrs. Eddy wrote my name and
"Compliments Of the auther, Mary

the book she gave me, By or on

"You mean the "next friends"

bout did not see in it the sport which
usually attends an ordinary wrestling
match.
