71 AND 72.
Thoy met at the Mont de Piote. 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

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

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." Lfcndon Truth.
