And tho favor ol Charles V was a splendid marriage portion with winch to endow the girl who had created his ambition for him But human nature Is a queer thing Quinten Massya had begun as a worker in metal, and his heart was in the cunning artifice of hammer and lorge And so he Lad mado a wedding present for his bride with his own hands, and it was not the produi'i inn of a painter but of a smith. With Ujf most loving care he had fash loned a tun silver box, whose double cover showed the hand of a master Its outer case was elaborately beaten and chased with the device of the order that the emperor had bestowed upon him, and which he had taken toi his tuniily arms The inner ciasp was u network of silver cobwebs, wrought in a design that he copied from u piece of tapestry from Bruges And in the tiny hollow be had placed a little bull of aromatic gum that an Arabian merchant had brought to Ant werp tho only city where such costly perfumes could be sold No thought then nt tho dreadful days that were coming1 No him on that bright Juno morning ot tho gathering cloud of the Inquisition ot the Spanish soldiery or of tho fourteen months siege that should leave barely two thirds of Ant werp's citizens to open the gales at last to tho Duko ot I'armal As tho young artist and his wife came out of the cathedi'ul that summer after noon into the cool shade of the gray tower, people said so radiant a bride hud not trodden thu stones of the Grand place since Charles was king II. The solid old houses of Bleecker street sheltered no happier young people. In the year ot grace Itj-lU., than William Van Corlear and uis wile Lucy Ellsworth had led her lover the usual dance to which popular girls are apt to treat their ad mirers. but the Dutch incapacity to give way to discouragement conquered In tho end, und St George's bells had rung in their married lifo with so merry a peal that its echoes had not ceased vibrating through the live years that had passed since the wedding day The young husband was walking home from his business ou iho afternoon ot bis anniversary und trying to think of some pretty tntJe to slip into his wile's hand as sho met him at tho door For, would you believe that this foolish young matron, unless kept away by accident, was sure to be watching tor her spouso and to be the first to greet his coming! But, then you must remember It was fifty years ago and at that time New Yorkers bad uot dolled all their provincial munncrs. Van Corlear paused a few doors below Dey street, at Marquand's, eutured arid wandered from case to case ilia wile already had all the ornaments sho cared to wear What was ho to select? Tho salesman filially fished out a littlo antique pungent box, whoso cover bore a strange coat of arms, nearly efTaced by long years of use In many generations of soft hands whose dust would now scratch the smooth silver.

Yet this family regarded them selves as rather small eaters and would really bo so If the other American dietaries wero to bo taken for the standard 1 surmise that many a I anally would. If they were to compare their dally food con sumption with the figures (riven, find similar excess of food and of nutritive substance. In a large number of dietaries that have come under my observation there has beeu. in neurly every case, an excessive quantity ol tat, and in several, if half of the meats and sugar bad been left out, there would buve remained con siderably more of both nutrients and energy than either the standards above mentioned calls fur This all means great waste of money and. as the hygiemsts tell us, still greater lulury to health.
