a clerk in a wholesale t store he know that jodndiah hated lo luvoice molasses and soud samples of sugar or starch he was anarq that every pound of browu soap was a wefghtm jedediab i soul and he de lighted in exacting the closest inspection of tho blbineas in whtoh his own boui delight ed it was b imply wonderful to see how hie memory could recall tho minutest details of tho warehouse from which he had been absent three long years and ho had a system of mutual spying among the clerks that made everyone afraid to make tho slightest error in any statement he called for jededuh jearniug for poetry flowers and lstello xjoqiso- had to bind himself down to soap molasseb and brown sugar but he dii manage an occasional stolen interview and a constant correspondence was kept up through the medium of a hollow tree known to thomselves alone one night there was an alarm in the higginb household and before morning jedojuh biggins senior had goue from earth forever it pas a sudden blow to his grandeon who had given htm all tho love he would have felt for the parents ho had not known beforo they died he was grateful to him and loved him with sincere affco tion and ho mourned for him very truly it was little comfort that beforo the funeral he received the papers that gave him tbe legal right to btgu himself francis hen doraou in tho future the funeral was over the familj asaem bled in the parlor to have tho will read to them estello louise was there and susan boggs and some ifephewb and nieces who had hopes for legacies many were re membered but the anms left to them were not bufficiontly lare to diminish very much tbe bulk of tbe higgins estate but the lawyer in a monotonous tone read on the legal phraseology omitted the bubstauco of tho will was this having beard that hip grandson contem plated repudiating the name that had been honorably borno by three generation he waa disinherited if he carried those inten tionb into effeot to hia grandson jedc diah higgins he left tho entire estate after the payment of the legacies already men tioned if jddediah hiina had changed hia namo then tho entire property passed to hia granddaughter estello louise hig fiiua no

really coat this gentleman asked how muoh a bimplo dinner that ho was eating co9t and he was told bevcnty hvo cents ho contradicted this aud then in ado out the following statement about tbe cost of that dinner tho pepper be said camn from ten thou sand miles away it grew on a little bubh about eight feet high which muat have had a growth of at least five eara the peppev waa picked greep it bad to be dried in the sun and thin moant employing women it took one ship and a thousand milofr of rail road to bring tho pepper to canada tbo tea on tho table oamo from china and the coffee from south america the oodtiah had to be brought from newfoundland men bad to bo employed to catch the fleh other men aud women were employed in drying packing and boxing it and it too had to make a long railroad journey the hour of which tho bread was made waa grown in manitoba eome ono owned tbo land and that meant the investment of capital and thon he had also to pay wages to workingmen tho flour had to be ground aud 1 ho building of tho mill aud the plant or mnchinory meant moro money imeated the millerb had to bo paid cooperb had t be hired for making in the line of a hint it wab ovident that he was ill at oaao the barrels and of course the wood of which the barrels wore made had to be out and sawed and shaped and this meant the employing of moro men then tbe flour had to be ebippcd over the railroad and handled again by cartmen before it came into the house the salt came from windsor the oannod peachds oamo from niagara and they loo represented tbo employment of capital and labor the spices in the cako came from tbo spico islands in the indian arobipelago after the gentleman had pointed out what the dinner really cost ha asked what on the table could be raised within tho limits of the county where they wero jiving the answer was only the corn bread the butter and buttermilk and it was deoided that tbe family could not live on tboae alono tho gentlemen estimated that
