4 I Story of tho First of (|
I | Its Kind.
< ? BY SUSAN COOLIDQE. (I
Now that fir needles and hemlock
needles have become recognized ar
ticles of commerce and every other
shop boasts its row of fragrant
cushi<ms,with their inevitable motto,
"Give Me of Thy Balm, O Fir Tree," ;
I am reminded of the first pillow of
the sort I ever 6aw and of what it
meant to the girl who made it. 1
shouil like to tell you the little
story, simple as it is. It belongs to
the time, eight or nine years since,
before pine pillows became popular.
Perhaps Chateaubriand Dorset may
be said, for once in her life, to have
set a fashion.
Yes, that was really her name!
Her mother met with it in a news
paper and, without the least idea
as to whether it appertained to man
or woman, adopted it for her baby.
The many syllables fascinated her,
I suppose, and there was, besides,
that odd joy in a piece of extrava
gance that costs nothing which ap
peals to the thrifty New England
nature and is one of its wholesome
outlets and indulgences.
So the Methodist elder baptized
the child Chateaubriand Arainin
tha, making very queer work of the
unfamiliar accents, and then, so
far as practical purposes are con
cerned, the name ceased to be. llow
can a busy household, with milk to
6et and milk to skim and pans to
scald and butter to make and pigs
to feed find time for a name like
that? "Baby" the little girl was
called till she was well settled on
her feet and in the use of her little
tongue. Then she became "Brie," j
and Brie Horset she remained to
the end. Few people recollected !
that she possessed any other name
unless the marriage, birth and death
pages of the family Bible happened
to be under discussion.
The Dorsets' was one of those
picturesque, lonely, outlying farms
past which people drive in the sum
mer saying: "llow retired! How
peaceful!" but past which almost
no one drives iu winter. It stood,
with its environment of red barns
and apple orchards, at the foot of
a low granite cliff whose top was
crowned with a fir wood and two
enormous elm trees met over its
roof and made a checker work of
light and shade on its closely blind
ed front.
No sign of life appeared to the
city people who drew their horse3
in to admire the situation except
perhaps a hen scratching in the veg
etable beds or a lazy cat basking on
the doorstep, and they would drive
on unconscious that behind the
slats of the green blinds above a
pair of eyes watched them go and a
hungry young heart contrasted their
lot with its own.
Hungry! There never was any
thing like the starvation which goes
on sometimes in those shut up farm
houses. Boys and girls feel it alike,
but the bovs are less to be pitied,
for they can usually devise means
to get away.
How could Brie get away? She
was the only child. Her parents
had not married young. When she
was 19, they seemed almost elderly
people, so badly does life on a bleak
New England farm deal with human
beings. Her mother, a frail little
woman, grew year by year less fit
for hard labor. The farm was not
productive.
The fir wood on the upper hill
was the temple where she worship
ed. There she went with her Bible
on Sunday afternoons, with her
patching and stocking mending on
/lilmr /love TKoro cha /Iroam/wl lmr
dreams and prayed her prayers, and
while there she was content. But
all too soon would come the sound
of the horn blown from below or a
call from the house: "Brie, Brie,
the men are coming to supper.
Make haste!" And she would be
forced to hurry back to the worka
day world. When she was just 20,
her father fell from his loaded hay
wagon and fractured his thigh.
There was no cure for the hurt, and
after six months of hopeless attend
ance he died. Brie and her mother
were left together on the lonely
farm, with the added burden of a
large bill for doctoring and mcdi
tines, which pressed like a heavy
weight on their honorable hearts.
The hired man, Reuben Hall, was
well dltposcd and honest, but before
Mr. Dorset's death he had begun to
talk of going to the west, and Brie
foreboded that he might nut be will
ing to stay with them. Mrs. Dorset,
broken down by nursing Hnd sor
row, had become an invalid, unable
to assist save in the lightest ways.
The burden was sore for one pair
of shoulders to bear. Brie kept up
a brave face by day, but at night
horrors of helplessness and appre
hension seized her. The heavens
seemed as brass, against which her
feeble prayers beat in vain; the fu
ture wns barred, as it were, with an
impassable gate.
What could they do? Sell the
farm? That would take time, for
no one in particular wanted to buy
it. If Reuben would stand by them,
they might be able to fight it out
for another year and what with but
ter and eggs and the corn crop make
enough for his wages and a bare liv
ing. Hut would Reuben stay ?
Our virtifes sometimes treat us as
investments do and return a divi
dend when we least expect it. It
was at this hard crisis that certain
good deeds of Brie's in the past j
stood her friend. She had always
been good to Reuben, and her sweet
ways and consideration for his com
fort had gradually won a passage in
to his rather stolid alfectioij^ Now,
seeing the emergency she was in
and the courage with which she met
it, he could not quite find the heart
to "leave the little gal to make out
by herself." Fully purposing to go,
he staid, putting olf the idea of de
parture from month to month, and,
though true to his idea of proper
cautiou, he kept his good intentions
to himself, so that relief of having
him there was constantly tempered
by the dread lest he might go at any
time. Still it was relief.
So April passed and May and
June. The crops were planted, the
vegetables in. Brie strained every
nerve. She petted her hens and
coaxed every possible egg out of
them; she studied the tastes of the
two cows; she maintained a brave
show of cheer for her ailing mother, i
hut all the time she was sick at
heart. Everything seemed closing
in. How long could she keep it up?
The balsam firs of the hill grove
could have told tales in those days.
They were Brie's sole confidants.
The consolation they gave, the coun
sel they communicated, were mute,
indeed, but none the less real to the
anxious girl who sat beneath them
or laid her cheek on their rough
stems. June passed, and with early
July came the answer to Rrie's
many prayers. It came, as answers
to prayers often do, in a shape of
which she had never dreamed.
Miss Mary Morgan, teacher in
Grammar School No. 3, Ward 19', of
the good city of Boston, came, tired [
out from her winter's work, to spend
a few days with Farmer Allen's
wife, her second cousin, stopped one
day at the Dorsets' door while driv
ing to ask for a drink of water, took
a fancy to the old house and to Brie
and next day came over to propose
herself as a boarder for three
months.
"1 can only afford to pay $7 a t
week," she 6aid. "But, on the other
hand. I will try not to make much j
trouble if you will take me."
"Seven dollars a week! Only ;
think!" cried Brie gleefully to her
mother after the bargain was com
pleted and Miss Morgan gone.
"Doesn't it seem like a fortune?
It'll pay Reuben's wages and leave
ever so much over! And she doesn't '
eat much meat, she says, and she
likes baked potatoes and cream and
sweet baked apples better than any
thing. And there's the keeping
room chamber all cleaned and ready.
Doesn't it seem as if she was sent
to us, mother?"
"Your poor father never felt like
keepin boarders," said Mrs. Dorset.
"I used to kind of fancy the idea of
it, but he wasn't willin. 1 thought
it would be company to have one in
the house if they was nice folks. It
does seem as if this was the Lord's
will for us, her comin in so unex
pected and all."
Two days later Miss Morgan, with
a hammock, a folding canvas chair
and a trunkful of light reading,
arrived and took possession of her
new quarters. For the first week or
two she did little but rest, sleeping
for hours at a time in the ham
mock, swung beneath the shadowing
elms. Then, as the color came back
to her thin face and the light to her
eyes, she began to walk a little, to
A til. T?_:_ ~ r. j
bii wim uiie in me iir jjruve ur rt'iui
aloud to lier oji the doorstep while
she mended, shelled peas or picked
over berries, and all life seemed to
grow easier and pleasanter for the
dwellers in the solitary farmhouse.
The puest pave little trouble, she
paid her weekly due punctually, and j
the steady income, small as it was, )
made all the difference in the world
to Brie.
As the summer went by and she
prew at home with her new friend1
she found much relief in confidinp
to Irer the perplexities of her posi- j
uon.
"1 see," Miss Morpan said; "it is
the winter that is the puzzle. I will
engage to come back next summer, i
as I have this, and that will help j
along, but the time between now j
and then is the difficulty."
"Yes," replied Brie, "the win- j
ter is the puzzle, and Reuben's mon- |
ey. We have plenty of potatoes and ;
corn and vegetables to take us j
through, and there's the pig to kill,
and the chickens will lay some. If
only there were any way in which 1
could make enough for Reuben's
wages, we could manage."
"I must think it over," said Miss
Morgan.
She pulled a long branch of the
ba.sam fir nearer as she spoke and
buried her nose in it. It was the |
first, week of September, and she |
and Brie were sitting in the hill j
grov*.
"I love this smell so," she said, i
"It is delicious. It makes me I
dream."
Brie broke off a bough.
? "I shall hang it over your bed,"
she said, "and you'll smell it all
night."
So the fir bough hung upon the
wall till it gradually yellowed and
the needles began to drop.
"Why, they are as sweet as ever?
sweeter!" declared Brie, smelling a
handful which she h-a swept from
the floor. Then an idea came into
her ln ad.
She gathered a great fagot of the
branches and laid them to dry in
the sun on the floor of a little used
piazza. When partly dried, she
stripped off the needles, stuffed with
them a square cotton bag and made
for that a cover of soft sage green
silk with an odd shot pattern over
it. It was a piece of what had been
her great-grandmother's wedding
gown.
Brie had made the first of all the
many balsam pillows. It was meant
for a goodby gift to Miss Morgan.
"Your cushion is the joy of my
life," wrote that lady to her a month
after she went home. "Every one
who sees it falls in love with it.
Half a dozen people have asked me
how they could get one like it, and,
Brie, this has given me an idea.
Why should you not make them for
sale? I will send you up some pret
ty silk for the covers, and you might
cross stitch a little motto if you
like. I'll copy some for you. Two
people have given me an order al
ready. They will pay $4 apiece if
kl... ?
j via line iu 11 j.
This suggestion was the small
wedge of the new industry. Erie lost
no time in making the two pillows,
grandmother's gown fortunately
holding out for their covers. Then
came some pretty red silk from Jliss
Morgan, with yellow filoselle for
the mottoes, and more orders. Brie
worked busily that winter, for her
balsam pillows had to be made in
spare moments when other work
permitted. The grove on the hill
was her unfailing treasury of sup
ply. The thickset twigs bent them
to her will, the upper branches
seemed to her to rustle as with sat- |
isfaction at the aid they were giv
ing. In the spring the old trees re
newed their foliage with vigorous
purpose, as if resolved not to balk
her in her work.
The fir grove paid Reuben's wages
that winter. Miss Morgan came j
back the following June, and by 1
that time balsam pillows were estab- i
lislied as articles of commerce, and
Eric had a munificent offer from a
recently established decorative art
society for a supply of the needles
at $3 a pound. It was hard, dirty
work to prepare such a quantity,
but she did not mind.
As 1 have said, this was some
years ago. Brie no longer lives in
the old home. Her mother died the
third year after Miss Morgan came
to them, the farm is 6old and Brie
married. She lives now on a ranch
in Colorado, but she has never for
gotten the fir grove, and the memo
ry of it is a help often in the de
sponding moments that come at
times to all lives.
WHAT A BILLIO* MKAKS.
So glibly, indeed, do we use the
word "billion" that few of us pause
to consider the immensity of the
sum. How long would it take to
count a billion? A few years per
haps. Well, yes. At the rate of
100 a minute?a very liberal allow
ance of speed ? and calling eight
hours a day's work, 48,000 would
be counted a day. In a year of 300
working days the score would be
14,400,000, and it would require
Of) 1-3 years to count the full bil
lion. The prophet's span of three
score and ten, minus a few months,
would be consumed in the simple
counting of the sum that trips so
lightly from the tongue these days.

THE OTHER EVE.
James Albery the dramatist,
was one day descending in a great
hurry the steps fronting the Sav
age club, London, when a stranger
in a state of mind which defied
punctuation addressed him thus:
"I beg your pardon, but is there
a gentleman in this club with one
eye of the name of X ?"
Albery answered the question ea
gerly with another: "Stop a mo
ment. What's the name of the oth
er eye?"?Youth's Companion.
HOSPITAL LIKE.
Whatever the cost of care in the
hospital for board, lodging, nurs
ing, treatment, it is always in the
long run less than the price paid
when the same siege of illness is
managed in any other way. Experi
ence proves this again and again.
Not all conditions demand hospital
care. Ear from it. But, when they
do, going to the hospital is cheaper,
easier, safer and more comfortable
than staying at home. ? Harper's
