This office of plddseB and recloiiiptions this Parisian shriue of poverty and central altar of official usury was crowded. A Jong line like a torpidly winding serpent stretched itself lazily far out into the Rue des Blancs-Manteimx. For several honrs the clerk behind his grated win dow ban droned out the numbers as he bent his worn face above the trrrsy book in which he is busy inscribing names and addresses. "Again? So booh? And still pretty?" with a vicious smile. "Lace pin with small diamond hum! Twenty francs for 71. Pass on quickly! Next! Weill And you? A oarvod oruoifU. Ivory? No. Five francs for 72." "No more!" "No more. Take or leave. You detain others. Decide." No. 72 hesitates. Suddenly a rough hand tugs at her shabby shawl. She trims. It is No. 71. A moment later the two girls stand side by side in the street "Hero! Take this," mutters 71. "1 insist 1 stole your luck by my odd nmnlior. Besides it is to cheat the devil. No? Why? What a little fool!" No. 72 has a face like a pale flame. Her lips are blue, and ranch shivering baa rounded her thin shoulders. 71 is ready, facile, a fominine gamin. She thrives on Paris as a dandelion flaunts from the crevice of a paving stone. The one is smiling, yet dumb with amaze ; inont The other talks, laughs, yet will uover smile again. "Tut! A few francs! Wliat are they to me? And 1 shalJ redeem my pin to morrow, while you" a glance com pleted the sentence. "And I it was that 1 might celebrate Paul's fete day." "You live" "At No. , an attic in the Eue Sainto Marguerite. He Paul works at the theater. It is a good position, but it re quires that he appear well to keep it. This wits his earnings as a moth eats fcatherB. We are from the south Paul ' and 1. He is happy here but J" "Amuse yourself by starving that he may ohl I comprohond. Here!" and she draws her into a wine shop. "Waiter! A buskotl Now fill it! First a bottle or wine, tnon a sugared loaf then a pate some of thoso. Tis J who shall snpply Paul's feast. But on one con dition, my friend that you eat your half. And the wine is for you." Paying the waiter, 71 drops tho change into the loaded basket. "And 1 who accept this do not yet know your name!" No. 72 is grateful, but there are no tears. Tears are a lux ury with the poor. "Call me No. 71." "1 shall civil yon my saint" "Anything but that, my girl. Well 721 shnU see you again." And she watches her stagger away beneath her bnrdon. "Mademoisollo is generous!" ventures the waiter, who has followed them out side the shop. "Nonsense! It is my caprice! She is dying that girl. It is written. And her Paul? A tine, selfish scamp, J'll war rant." And with a laugh and a whirl on her heel she hurries away, One year in a Pnrisian garret. Or,e year of green country quiet exchangod for the lullaby of Paris that mother who too often sings her babieB to their deaths. To be sure, there has always been Paul, and looking in his eyes Jeanne could forget her homesickness. And with his arm for a pillow, her straw had not seemed a hard bed. But he was forced to be at the theater early and late. And nowadays his absences were growing longer. Jeanne fancied at times that he was less tender. Paul was tired tired of being poor. Was it that Poverty was pinching Love to death? She did not know but felt a chill about her heart a dangerous thing when the body is also cold. Some one else would beat the ragout on Paul's next fete day. But Paul came and went and noticed nothing. One night in his sleep Jeanne heard him utter a name. She leaned to listen, but he said no more, only smiling in his sleep. She thought it was "Susanne." In the morn ing she questioned him. "I was dreaming. What of it?" said he, staring floorward. Before be went away that morning he iSrew her fondly toward him and ten derly kissed her rough and reddened lender hands. It was a revival of love, Jeanne thought, and sang softly to her self all of that day. Life was easier after this. Paul grew more kind, and a new pleasnre was also hers. She did not know that it is a man's way when he loves one to Idas the other dumb, i -; - ' And every day at soon her "saint" oaraj for an Jioui;, Everyday, in some small way, Jeanne's small wants grew smaller. Every (lay 71 sat by 72 upon the low straw pallet and laughed and jested until Joanne grew merry from sheer contagion. "We will thank her together when yon are well again, my Jeanne, and find out also her real name," Paul would say in bis absontminded way. When Jeanne was well again! One morning she seemed suddenly so weak that Paul found it impossible to leave her. For the first time he became uneasy. She did not complain, merely remaining strangely quiet. And her eyes shone as on that night beneath th lindens long ago. The night they first spoke of a marriage their own. , "But it is nothing," she murmured while her starry eyes looked past him across the glaring roofs so coldly bright in the wintry sunlight It was broad day in Paris, but in Jeanne's life candle time bad come. "Paul!" "My Jeanne!" "Yon love me?' "My little onel How can yon ask? Yon break my heart!" "Ab dearly as ever, Paul?" "As dearly as ever." And Paul softly stroked a very happy face. Just then, above the lullaby with which Paris was Binging Jeanne to sleep, some rollicking, distant bells rang out the hour. Joanne raised herself upon her elbow, and with one hand threw back the drooping locks from ber little white ear. "HarkP' As they listened they heard a merry clatter of high hsels on the bare stair way. "It is-No. 71!" As she spoke a piquant figure stood framed within the low doorway. "Paul! my saint!" And then two stood alone in the little sunny garret, for just at that moment Jeanne's soul fled. "Susannel You her saint!" and with a hoarse cry Paul dropped the dead hand on the straw. "And so to ber, you were Paul! My God!" And Jeanne? A little smile stole softly about her Him. It was Death, who in joke had tricked Life out of one sorrow. Johanna Stoats in Romance. Seed Farms of the United Ktates. The ttrst report ever made through the oensuB office of the statistics of the seed farms of the United States affords these figuroB. Only such farms as are devoted to seed growing as a business are in cluded: There is a total of Oltfl farms in the United States devoted exclusively to seed production. These farms occupy 109.851 acres of land, of which WI.M? acres were reported as devoted to seed production during the census year. This industry represents a total value of farms, implement and buildings of $18,825,D!i5, and emploved in 181X1, 18,500 men and 1,041 women. Of the 590 seed farms in the f nited States, 258, or nearly one-half, are in the North Atlantic division, the original center of seed production. These farms have an acreage of 47,818, or an average of 185 acres per farm, while in the north central division there are 157 farms, with an acreage of 87,000, or an average of 555 acres per farm. The seed farms of Massachusetts and Connecticut average 142 acres per farm, while those of Iowa and Nebraska are 6!)5 acres in extent, and are producing seeds on a scale of equal magnitude to the other products of that section of the country. So far as reported there were but 2 seed farms in the country previous to 18(K) (one. of tluwe was established in Philadelphia in 1784, and the other at Enfield, N. H., in 1700), only 8 in 1820, 0 in 1880, 10 in 1840, 34 in 18.W, 58 in 1800, 100 in 1870, 207 in 1880 and 200 more were established between 1880 and 1890, leaving 189 unaccounted for as to date of establishment Workiugmen's Coflee House. The Temperance league, of Toronto, haserected a t)uwto"y substantial build ing on Elm street, which will be a coffee house for workingmen. A company has been formed to carry on this idea. The object of the company is to establish and operate coffee houses in places frequented by workingmen and to supply them with a oup of good coffee or tea for two cents and meals at moderate prices. Friends of this movement will be asked to take up stock at five dollars per share, and as it is expected that the work will be largely self sustaining the stock will probably be worth par. Dogs on the Sea. It is a strange f act that sea life changes the oharacter of domestio creatures. After a few voyages they become as dif ferent from the lubberly land creatures of their respective species as the sailor is unlike the landsman. The ship's dog may be quite properly classed as "non sporting." Its life is usually free from excitement It is obliged to confine its strolls to narrow limits. It is fonder of tho foremast hands than of the cabin people, probably because it finds' the former more affectionate and indulgent London Tit-Bits. Bis Idea of Angels. A little five-year-old of my acquaint ance interviewed his mother the other day upon the subject of angels having wings, and on being told that there was reason to believe that they were so equipped, exclaimed, "Oh, mamma, how funny they must look when asleep roosting like turkeys."
