MO 'i ER'S M 'STORY OTHER always had insist- 4 M k ed that there was "literary G A1 O talent” in the family. We ,t ji knew that her mother. when a young woman and before the cares of a house Jiobl absorbed her attention. liad con tributed to Godov's Lady's Book. As additional support to her assertions ! that one family was gifted, mother, ' half proud, half ashamed, and blush- ; ing like a girl, once showed me a j packet m verses, yellowed and ink- j laded. | "Lour fatiicr wrote fhem, ♦ i she wh . ! pored. Then she reverently'tied them up again. and laid them hack beside ! another packet, which, I guessed, was I composed of some treasured letters dating "bofon * we were married.” Dear mother, what a sacred drawer that was! With Sllfll g gen.us * apparent on both sides of Hu* family, beyond doubt a spark thereof must still Ii*' slumbering tiomewliere ready to burst into flame. N\'hen, on a .Monday morning in tin* spring vacation. Beatrice, after hover- I ing irresolutely about me for a short time, asked me to lend her my pcarl handled lienholder and my gold pen, following thi ! S Avith the announcement j that she was going to write a storv. I Avas little surprised. It seemed most natural that the torch should be confined to B a trice, for she was the y oungest of the circle, and Avithal a < l rea my, romantic, but impetuous school girl. I gave,lier the pen. and also ilit* use of my desk, and all the "foolscap” paper she could tind. .She shut herself in her room. ami t went down stairs all aglow with •datiou a lid new-found knowledge, It was no slight honor to have an author in one's family. "Where is T urico?” inquired motiier; "I want her to go over to .Mrs. j Jacksons tor me.” j “I'll go. mother,” I replied, quickly, 4 * I 1 1)ink Bee ought noi to be disturbed, She's wnting a stor.v. »* The information had due effect. Mother's eyes sparkled and she caught hold of my arm. “Well, I am glad.” she exclaimed, 'on know I've always said it was a pity somebody in the family didn't try it.” Then, in a mysterious whisper: “What is ii about? “I don’t know she didn't t<-ll me.” 1 responded. “Anyway, she musin't be bothered.” asserted mother. "I'll s e that no one goes up stairs this morning.” And 1'ortiiAvifb she established her self, with her sewing, where she could command an unobstructed view of the stairway. She stayed there most of the time until dinner, so that by noon the mem bers ol the household..one by one, had been instructed and warned, and Avere in full possession of the faeis—with a certain admixture of fiction—for moth- } er s pride slightly prejudiced her. When Beatrice appeared at linner. she Avas received with that respectful deference which naturally is accorded an author. Vo inie spoke directly re garding he; work, but tin* atmosphere was full of thoughts on the subject. And ay hen Beatrice asked for coffee— of which she was very loud—mother poured for her from a rotund little cart lien ware pot. "What’s that?” demanded Beatrice. surprised. "It s breakfast food, dear.” exclaimed mother, rather apologetically, ”It is better for you now, isn’t it? It’s rt e- ] j ornmended a* a brain food, you know, i Beatrice accented tin cup and ado gerly sipped its contents, JIo\v many times had she voiced her disgust for what she characterized ••dish-water” <li inks! But for the present she sub mitted, and the rest of the family looked on in solemn approval. Beatrice remained in her room all tin* afternoon, while I did errands which she ought, to have done. Mother-varied her vigils by divers flitting.* to neigh I ho;*** houses. By night Beatrice's fame had spread abroad. Mother had on : gaged to let people innumerable know j when the story was published, A few persons were of the opinion that Beatrice was writing a book. At tea lime Beatrice descended ra titer irritably, Mother, observing .Ibis c< mdition. kissed her lovingly, and smoothed her hair, attentions which had the sigiiili-ance of the “rubbing down" by which athletes are fitted for their tasks, We others gazed synipa ilietieally. We realized that if must be a great strain to be an author. In addition to her breakfast food. Beatrice’s exclusive dishes for tea in eluded a nicely browned square of lisii. Fish, of course, it is understood, is rich in phosphorus. Beatrice, who dislikes fish, protested feebly; mother insisted gently. bui~ firmly. Beatrice yielded to the inevitable and mother was happy as a child. That evening, according to mother's instructions, the couch was left vacant for Beatrice: and here the young lady repos.-d in state, pillows solicitously ar ranged by mother, and the remainder of the family grouped around at a re spectful distance. We sal by the light of a grate tire— /'<>;• the evening was unusually chilly. We sat in silence or ehatred aimlessly, but we were all surcharged with eager ness to he informed on a certain burn ing question. Our thoughts must have r; ached Beatrice, for suddenly she said, in desperation: "It's nearly done.” “It" could only have one meaning. There was a rustic of interest. “Dear girl.” murmured mother, strok ing her hand. "Winy's ii abor.li" iiazarued lather, boldly taking the decisive step. “Oh,” replied Beatrice, s—if.* about a man who's in love with—with u woman." “Yes. yes." cooed mother, hurriedly, as if fearful lest her protege should over-exert herself. "And a very good subject, too. T he dear girl. 1 think she outfit to go to bed now. It has been a long, hard dav for her." Thereupon she bundled Beatrice, willy-nilly, off to bed. Lor breakfast our "writer” was given, under mother's direction, a heap ing saucer of a certain cereal food widely advertised for brain workers, and as a remedy for nervous nrostra- 1 ration. I never had known Beatrice to eat any such preparation, but what she had been taking seemed to have robbed her of her spirit. At any rate, she sullenly drank and ate a.s pro bribed, ami tied to her room. A: noon she again limited (o the training table,” as we began to term it. i never had seen mother so tickled, 1 believe she was assured that already Beatrice's brain was visibly enlarged. All day it was: "diaries, don't go iqi stairs! You will disturb Beatrice." "Helen, be quiet. Don't you know Beatrice is writing?” "I’ll get your jacket for you, Will. You might an noy Beatrice." Even tin- doorbell was muffled. At tea Beatrice briefly announced: “I'll read it to you to-night.” ‘'It's done, then?” inquired mother, in an awe-tfieken voice. Beatrice nodded. She did read it to us. and quite en tertaining we found it, dealing, just as she had explained ii, Avifii a man who was “in love with a woman;” and the harrowing things they endured before they finally Avere united. Whet a world of tenderne-s and pride Avas in that kiss with Avhich mother commended the author, at the end. The reading Avas followed by a dis cussion as to the periodical to be fav ored with this production. At length tiie lucky publisher was selected, and in the morning, early, the story was mailed. "I wonder if they'll illustrate it?” 1 remarked. “Of course!” said mother, quick as a flash, witheringly. Now ensued a lime of suspense. We figured that it would take two days for the manuscript to reach its des tination. and that we ought to bear from it in about a Aveek. Possibly a few days more than that would lm nec essary, in order to give the editors plenty of iime for deciding on the proper remunei at ion. On the third day the tension in the house had become almost unendurable. Even father Avas fidgety. Outwardly, at least. Beatrice was ihe calmest of all. I caught mother pouring over an old copy of The magazine. She sliame-fa cedly explained that she wanted to see "what other people” wrote for if. The next morning when I was in my room mother entered, anti with great care to close the door tight, stood look ing at me. sorrowfully. Her right hand was behind her. She was so white that she frightened me. tt What’s the matter?” 1 demanded. starting forward. I a TTuxb.!*’ sh n cautioned. motioning toward Beatrice's room, from whence issued Beatrice's voice, merrily sin."* jug. “Oil. dear! What shall we ilo! Poor Bee!” "You don't mean-?” I stammered, the shocking import of her words rusii mg uj>ov. me. "I do, I do!” she cried, with a little wail. "It's—it's been sent back!” And she held toward me a bulky envelope, Her lower lip curved out like that of a grieved child—so pitiable when contrasted with her wrinkled, ohl face. "But Bee doesn't seem to mind.” I re monstrated. comfortingly, still hearing the blithe singing. X-o-o. site said she was tired of he ing an author, and not allowed to eat and drink like other people." confessed mother. “But—but it's such, a nice story, and I don't believe* they even read it. And here, with a sob. mother actually threw herself on iuv bed and wept hit u-rly. I gently patted her g ly n: if. and tried to soothe her. Really, you see, it was not I ail-bo's story, alter all. even though it was sue : who penned it—What To Eat. MANY USES OF BAMBOO. WomlerfnJ .TapanesH l’lml Could It* Crown in Tliis ('oinill'.v.

There are many varieties of the bamboo plant, from the species which : is woven into mats to the tall haiu I too tree which the Chinaman uses for the mast of his large boat. One variety is cultivated as a vegetable, and the young shoots eaten like asparagus, or they may be salted, pickled or pre son ed. T he rapidity of growth of the bam boo is perhaps its most wonderful charaei eristic, There are actua re cords of a bamboo growing three feet ! in a single day. or at the rate of one a ad a half inches an hour. Varieties of bamboo are found every, where in Japan, even wiu»r there are heavy falls of snow in winter. It is a popular misconception that bamboos grow only in the tropics. Japan is a land of bamboos, and yet where these plants grow it is not so warm in winter : as it. is in California. Some of these : 1 varieties could be grown commercially in the United States.
