OLD LADY PINGREE.

BY M. E. WILKINS

It was almost dark at half-past four Nanoy Pingree stood staring out at ony f her front windows. Not a person was passing on the wide country road; not ype came up the old brick walk between the dry phlox-bushes to the house.

lt was the same picture out there which the old woman had looked at hun- dreds of times before in winter twilights

like this. The interest in it had died away with the expectation of new de velopments in it whieh she had had in

her youth. Nature to Nancy Pingree had never been anything but a background for life.

When she had first gone to the window she had said, ‘‘I wish I could see some- body comin’ that belonged to me.’’

hen she simply stood thinking. The eful, leafless trees arching over wy road, and the glimpse of clear yell through them the whole landscape her, with all the old lights of her life shining on it, became a mirror in which she saw hersel! reflected.

She started

Her rusty black dress hung ir straight long folds, and trailed a little She held her head erect, and wore an odc black lace turban. She had made the turban herself, with no pattern. It was a direct outcome of her own individuality; perched on the top of her long old head it really was—Nancy Pingree.

She tock dewn a plaid shawl which was hanging in a little side entry,pinned

it over her head and opened the outer door into the clear twilight. Straight from the door on this side of the ola

house, an avenue of pine-trees led toa hen-cvop. Whatever majestic idea had been in the head of Nancy’s grandfather, Abraham Pingree, when he had set out

these trees, it had come to this. Nancy went down between the windy pines, over the crusty snow, to the hen

op. She came back with two eggs in her hand. ‘‘They’ve done pretty well to day,’’ said she to herself

When she was in the house stood shivering for a little while over the sitting-roeom air-tight She stil) held the eggs. A question had come up, the answer to which was costing her 4 strugezie,

said she. “T could have supper; I kinder fee! the nevd of it, too; I ain't had anything hearty to-day. An’ I could have the other yne fried with a little slice of salt pork for breakfast. Seems to me I should reels relish it. I s’pose Mis’ Stevens would adipire to have an egg for supper. Jenny ain't had any work this week, an’ ] know she ain't been out anywhere to bu; anything to-day. I should think he mother would actilly go faint sometimes

without meat an’ egg an’ sech hearty

SZ things. She's nothin’ but skin an’ bone anyway. I’ve a good mind to kerry her one of these eggs. I would ef I didnt

feel as ef I reely needed it myself.”’

The poor soul stood there looking at the eggs. Finally she put the smailer one in a cupboard beside the chimney and went out of the sitting-room into the front hall with the larger one. She climbed stiffly up the stairs which were fine old winding ones. Then she knocked at a door on the landing.

A thin, pretty-faced young opened it. Nancy proffered the egg. had a stately manaoer of lean arm.

“*Here’s a new laid egg I thought your mother might relish for her supper, Jenny,’’

‘lhe voung woman's sharp pretty face grew red. ‘Oh thank you, Miss Pingree; but I—don't think mother needs it. J am afraid—you will rob yourself.’’

Nancy held her wide mouth stiff, only opening it a crack when she spoke. I've got plenty fo myself, pienty. I shouldn't use this one before it spiled mebbe, ef 1 kep’ it. I thought p’rhaps it would go good for your mother’s supper; but you can do just as you like about takin’ it.’’

The young woman accepted the egg with reserved thanks, then, and Nancy went stiffly back downstairs, :

““T guess ef Jenny Stevens hadn't took

said she,

that egg it would have been the last thing I'd ever offered her,’’ said she, when she was in her sitting-room. “I

don't see how she ever got the idea she seems to have that I'm so awful poor.”

She made herself a cup of tea, and ate @ slice of bread-and-butter for her supper; she had resolved to save her own egg until morning. Then she sat down for the evening with her knitting. She knitted a good many stockings for a friend’s family. That friend came in at the side door presently. Nancy heard her fumbling about in the entry, but she did not rise until the sitting-room door opened.

Then, “Why, how do you do, Holmes,’’ said she, rising, in surprise.

“I’m pretty well, thank you, How do you do?’

** 'Bout as usual. things an’ set dewn.”’ The visitor had a prosperous look; she was richly dressed to country eyes, and had a large, masterly, middle-aged face. “I just heard some sad news,’ said she, laying aside her shawl.

**You don’t say so!”’

“Old Mrs. Powers was found dead in her hed this morning.’’

Nancy's face took on an anxious look; she asked many questions about the sud- den death of Mra. Powers. She kept re- curring to the same topic all the evening.

“Strange how sudden folks go nowa- days,’’ she often repeated. At length, just before Mrs. Holmes

went, she stood up with an air of reso-

lution. ‘‘Mis’ Holmes,” said she, with a solemn tremor in her yoice, “I wiab you'd jest step in here a minute.’’ Mrs.

Holmes followed her into her bedroom, which opened out of the sitting-room.

Naney pulied ont the bottom drawer in @ tall mahogany bureau. “*Look here, Mis’ Holmes. I’ve been

Well, all the clothes you'd need are right there, folded up in that drawer. An’ Mis’ Holmes, you'll never speak of this to anybody?’’

*“No, L won't.’’ “In this corner, under the clothes, you'll find the money to pay for my buryin’. I've been savin’ of it up, & few cents at a time, this twenty-year. I cal- eulate there’s enough for everythin’, I want to be put in that vacant place at the end of the Pingree lot, an’ have s

I'm the last of the hull family, you know, an’ they were pretty smart folks. It’s all run out now. I ain't nothin’, but I'd kinder like to have my buryin’ done like the others. I dont want it done by the town, an’ I don't want nobody to give it to me. I want to pay for it with my own money. You'll see to it, won't you?”

“If they put the railroad they're talk- ing about through here, it’li make us rich. The Deacon says it will go through the south part of this land. We'd have enough money for burying and living too,’’ said Mrs. Holmes, as Nancy shut and locked the drawer.

“I ain't no stock in the railroad; all the money would belong to the Deacon ef it was put through this land. I've got all over carin’ for riches. All I want is to be buried independent, like the rest of my folks.’’

‘‘How’'s the woman upstairs?’’ asked Mrs. Holmes when she took leave fin- ally. She had three pairs of Nancy's finished stockings in a bundle,

“She's pretty poorly, I think. She keeps me awake ‘most all the time.’”’

Nancy did not go further than the sitting-room door with her departing visitor. When she had heard the outer door close after her, she went swiftly out into the entry. She held the lamp in her hand, and peered sharply into the corners.

“Yes, she did,’ said she, and took up a good-sized covered basket from be- hind the door eagerly.

She carried it into the sitting room, and opened it; it was packed with eat- ables. Done up in a little parcel at the bottom was the pay for the three pairs of stockings.

Mowir§z Down Whiskers.

“Did you ever stop to think,’’ said a barber the other day to a reporter, ‘“‘how much surface @ man shaves over in his lifetime, if he shaves every day?’’

‘*No,”’ replied the lathered face.

‘Well, I never did either until a friend of mine with a perfect mania for figures came here a few days ago to get a hair cut. We got to talking about the trouble of shaving every day, and the first thing I knew he had his hands out from un- der the apron and was figuring away at & great rate. He bade me take the time to make a half dozen measurements on his face. When he got through I was as- tonished to find that the man who shaves himself every morning has mowed down a big fleld of whiskers at the end of his lifetime. He announced his result about like this:—

“The average man has twenty square inches of beard on his face—a large face, well covered with bristles, wiil figure twenty-five or thirty inches. If aman with twenty square inches of face shaves every morning, he will scrape over 7,800 square inches in a year. Now, if he shaves from the time he is 20 until heis 7@ years old, he will have shaved 365,000 square inches of beard. This, reduced to feet, is 2,534 square feet, or more than one-twentieth of an acre. A pretty good patch of whis- kers.’’

The Formation of the Acorn.

The male flowers of the oak are gath- ered in distant clusters round a long, swaying stalk; they approach much nearer to the conventional idea of a flower individually, Instead of being a mere aggregation of anthers or pollen cells of simple scales, those of the cak are possessed of distinct starlike, hairy calyces, each marked off into six or seven lobes, and containing ten slender stam- ens, with two-celled anthers. Then the female flowers, which are usually two or three, near each other, but not con- nected, consist each of an ovary, with three short-curved styles, and invested by a calyx that adheres closely to it and be- comes the husk or shell of the acorn. The whole, except the styles, is held in a cup formed of many overlapping scales, which afterward lose their individuality and shrink into mere roughness on the outside of the cup that holds the acorn. For only one of the six ovules contained in the ovary develops into an acorn (seed or corn of the ac, or oak),
