find this specialty n breeding cows or producing dairy products than there are in any other branch of the fanning business.This has resulted In making cow farmers more enterprising and successful than those who merely keep one or two cows for their own use and make dairy products of only secondary consideration.This was to be expected.All kinds of business that are successful are made specialties.There is more reason for this in the case of the farmer, whose business involves closer attention to details than any other.The man who makes a specialty of fruit growing or gardening may keep good cows, but it is Impossible for him to give close attention to the manufacture of dairy butter and cheese to secure the best results."I lie large cream- BIG MILK FARMS.How Dairying I» Condootrd oa a l.urffr S«-ale.In the village of Arden.Orange county.N.Y., 44 miles from New York city, is the Arden Farms Dairy company, which owns 15,000 acres of land, 5,000 gérés of which are tillage, says Up to Date Farm ami Garden.The central portion of the main barn is three stories high, with two wings In which the cows are kept.Nothing is stored over the animals.The floor where the animals are kept is concrete, hot and cold water Is supplied by a system of pipes, and troughs and floors can be flushed with water and kept scrupulously chan.In this barn are kept at all times upward of 100 milkers, although 375 cows are owned by the company.The rest of the milkers are distributed in the other barns.When a cow is dry.she Is sent to one of the outlying farms.The herd is a mixed one, Guernsey and Ayrshire blood predominating.The company sells two grades of milk, one of 4 per cent and one of 5 per cent.Everything is kept scrupulously clean.The cattle are curried and brushed twice a day.The milkers, after thoroughly washing, don a milking suit of white duck and wash their hands after each cow.The milk Is ah iessell their product somewhat higher .Ktjalned four times before reaching th^ pi than the average farm butter, though If the latter Is well made from ripened cream it will keep better than the creamery or separated butter made from cream that lias never soured.It is.we think, a perverted taste that gives preference to butter made from cream that has never soured.That from the creamery should be kept a few hours until souring begins.Then the curd can be better separated from the butter, and it will keep better.The separation will take more of the butter fats out of sweet milk than can be got by the erdhmery or by natural rising of cream in the pan.But tills increase of quantity is at the expense of keeping quality.Such butter is very much liked by many people.It Is the kind of butter that is especially liked by our English customers.But it is a poor keeper ami must he eaten soon after it arrives or it becomes rancid, in the years before the creamery the writer well remembers seeing his mother and grandmother put up four gallon crocks of butter, covering it with a layer of salt an inch thick and setting It away in a dark and cool room to be used next year.The favorite mouths for putting up butter In those times were June.September and October.The best of all the butter was made In .lune, though if there were plenty of fall rains to start the grass butter made in September and October was about ns good.And as good butter can also be made from green corn fodder fed with the grain in the milk stage and supplemented with pumpkins, which, excepting carrots and parsnips, are almost the only vegetable that will not impart some Inferior flavor to the butter.Wherever cows are kept more pumpkins, carrots and parsnips should be grown to supplement the corn fodder and grain which are the dairyman’s main dependence.The creamer should always be used to raise cream, for with the addition of cold in the Ice surrounding the milk It causes the cream to rise while the milk is Ice cold and of course sweet.It gets more of the cream that can l>o secured from pan rising, though if the milk is heated to a temperature of 130 to 140 degrees and then set in a cool room the cream will rise nearly as well as In a creamery.But this heating of the milk is apt to make the butter come soft.It cannot be successfully practiced during hot weather.Then Ice must be used, and if it is used In the creamer it is preferable, ns tbe milk beneath the cream will be sweet and is preferable for feeding to young stock while it is very young.After 5 or G weeks old a calf will drink curdled milk ns readily as it will drink sweet milk, and the curdled milk is really better for calves and pigs than sweet milk, because it bas taken the first stage of digestion.It is true It does not contain quite as much nutrition.as there is always some waste whenever fermentation occurs.It is a slow decomposition, destroying nitrogen and carbon by uniting them with oxygon the same as in burning.The difference between old and new methods of keeping cows is in nothing more noticeable than in summer and winter feeding.We can well remember when grass in summer, with dry hay and cornstalks that toward spring were almost as dry, was the main dependence for cow food.Then the dairy regions were those natural to grass, where there was plenty of pure spring water, and the cows wore pastured in summer in localities where, if corn could not be grown to supplement summer feed, green fodder of any kind seemed hardly to be needed.But the time has long gone by when the grass clad hills of Vermont and of the Mohawk valley, with Alleghany and Chautauqua counties in the same state, could make the fmast that they were so much the best dairy producing regions that they could flx the price of butter.The Little Falls dairy market Is.however, «till the greatest ia tht world for the best butter.But even In those localities grass is far less Important than It used to be, though we get more grass butter from these old dairy regions than from any other.consumer.The milking pails have closely fitted covers, with a six inch disk strainer, through which the milk enters the pail.There is a large cooling room and aerator, with cold storage rooms of the most modern pattern.Milk is put up in bottles.Tire lowest price at which any milk is sold is that which is disposed of In bulk, which is 10 cents per quart.Milk in bottles is sold at 12 cents per quart.This is only one of many similar enterprises that liavo sprung up near the large cities aud seems to show a tendency for the business to drift Into the hands of corporations or individuals with sufficient capital to carry it on a high grade plan.Rottllnff Milk.The scheme of delivering milk In bottles Is now almost a universal custom, and the only drawback is the Inconvenience of carrying and ban dllng these bottles.Henry E.Wright MILK DOTTLE HANDLE, of Massachusetts baa invented a metallic handle to moot this case.There Is a neckband which is firmly clamped around the neck of the bottle, ami another one around the body of the bottle, and a regular pitcher handle extending from one of these to the other.We little know the toll and hardship that those who make the “Staff of

on all packages of genuine butter sold by them.No particular brand or grade of butter is to be advertise*!, says Hoard's Dairyman, the only requirement being that it shall be genuine butter.Poor butter advertises itself, and the label j will simply guarantee purity.Of course j no dealer will dare to put such n label on oleomargarine or any other kind of counterfeit butter, and the absence of the label will therefore be presumptive evidence that the article is spurious.It Is proposed to have wholesalers and commission men furnish these labels to their customers.The expense will be trilling, probably not more than 20 cents per thousand.It is also proposed to have the labels and their uses freely advertised.Such a scheme would seem to be not unworthy of trial, but we predict that the oleomargarine promoters would very soon put out something which would be so nearly like these butter labels that only a close examination would detect the difference.The sale of oleomargarine in any considerable a mount is possible only by resorting to deception and fraud, and when any set of men commence to cheat and lie they are very apt to keep at It until they find themselves face to face with prison doors.Wronff Kind of Skimming* Butter making, like everything else, requires close application and study If continued success be met wdth.Too many butter makers overlook this fact and are

Dairying; in Holland.According to the German paper, Milch Zeltung, an extraordinary development has of late years taken place in cooperative dairying in Holland.Far several years, says that paper, much attention has been paid to the manufacture and uiarketiug of butter, now nearly all carried out on co-operative principles, peasant proprietorship in that country being almost universal.Large butter factories, too, are the rule, where the most advanced methods are adopted.For Instance, with a view te making first rate butter, the cream is often pasteurized aud separated by the Schwarts process Instead of by the centrifugal system.Artificial cultures are often used, and the result Is most satisfactory.So are the simple hut very businesslike methods of marketing.At Macstrlcht n combined association disposes of the great bulk of the butter and cheese made by the members.It not ouly sells the produce for Its members upon co-operative principles, but endeavors to put the Individual dairies into direct business relation with foreign firms, particularly In England, with the aid of the Dutch consular agente.CONCERNING FROST.t?v«*r) Man III» 0%*n |•rü|#bet, Wlfk Aid From tbr Weather Hureau.As the conditions which produce damaging frost are subject to modifications which are as numerous as the kinds of crops raised and as varied as local topography, local climate and local soil conditions in the various sections of the United States, the writer, E.B.Garriott, in farmers’ bulletin No.104, In attempting to treat briefly a subject which is so diversified in Its aspects, is confronted with many difficulties.Suffice it to say that with other atmospheric conditions favorable for its occurrence frost may, as a rule, be expected when temperature, as reported by stations of the weather bureau, falls to a point 8 to 10 degrees above the freezing point.The surfaces upon which frost is de posited must possess freezing temperature, although the temperature of the air a few feet above the surfaces may he several degrees above freezing, and it is the temperature of the air, in some instances many feet above tbe group*!, that is given by the weather bureau observations.Another atmospheric condition fa vorable for the occurrence of frost Is a clear, cloudless and comparatively calm night.The presence of clouds retards radiation or loss of heat from plants.The clouds act as a screen in preventing the heat collected from the sun’s rays during the day from escaping into the upper air.When clouds are not present aud a withdrawal of the sun’s rays causes a rapid cooling of the air at moderate elevations, the warmer air which collects near the surface of the earth duriug the day rises, aud the cooler upper air, owdng to Its greater density or weight, settles to the earth.It will be noted that clouds not only prevent the escape of the warm air in Immediate contact with the earth, but also blanket, as it were, the upper part of the lower air stratum.Calm or comparatively still air is a condition which favors the formation of frost.On windy nights the air is disturbed and Is not permitted to arrange itself in layers according to its density, with the densest and coldest air near the surface of the earth.It is kept mixed up by the wind.Cold air settles by its greater weight to the surface of the earth and allows the warmer air to assume higher levels, causing frost In low grounds and granting to the higher grounds a comparative Immunity from frost.Frost may be expected on low ground at times when higher grounds escape the visitations.Therefore early and tender crops should, so far as practicable, be confined to crests, hillsides and mountain sides, and later and hardier crops to the lowlands and valleys.Local climate as It is influenced and regulated by the proximity of bodies of water must be given great weight in calculations regarding frost.Frost is less likely to occur in localities swept by moisture laden air which has crossed a considerable body of water.This Is more especially the case In the fall of the year, when the temperature of bodies of water is reduced very slowly, and in the south, where the water temperature continues relatively high throughout the year, the influence of the water is especially marked.During the colder mouths air Is not only warmed in crossing considerable bodies of water, but it also absorbs moisture, which, although invisible In the form of water vapor, has the effect of retarding the radiation of heat from the earth.In fact, so pronounced is the influence of water and water vapor that localities which with reference to exposure to west and northwest winds are, as it were, In the lee of large bodies of water are comparatively free from frost visitations.Along parts of the east Florida coast which are protected on the west by tbe Indian river frost is said to be unknown, and throughout the central and northern sections of the United States localities which are protected on the west and northwest by bodies of water of considerable size are not only favored, by reason of their position, with conditions which do not promote the formation of frost, but nfco receive the benefits derived from heavier falls of snow.Keeplnff Street Potatoes."Some farmers who have stored sweet potatoes successfully do not believe in drying them before putting them in the bins." says 'Pbe Country Gentleman.‘‘Waldo F Brown of Ohio, who keeps the crop without fire heat, takes the tuhers from the field to the storeroom or cellar as soon as possible after they are dug He assorts, as he picks them, into threo sizes-merchantable.seed and culls and puts them Into bushel baskets, whence they are poured Into the bins.Of course the sweet potatoes heat and sweat in the bins, but tliis he believes greatly im-praves their quality and after having gone through the sweat they are easier to keep than Irish potatoes, for they are never Injured by sprouting Mr.Brown uses forest leaves to protect his potatoes from cold.II*’ prefers a temperature of 40 to 50 degrees, but is not afraid of one much higher or lower for a short time.Even below the freezing point, with a good leaf covering, does no harm.If it is staying low too long, two or more kerosene lamps burned in the cellar will quickly send it tip again Never cover the potatoes before they are through sweating, ns any covering will condense the moisture and lead to rot.If In heating the potnî"es reach 80 degrees or above, ventilation should be given." rake no Faite St»p.Life and

particularly when, as was the case campaign, the speechifying “h uoap” character, were decidedly amusing—as amusing as they were ungrammatical—but political wiienoes are generally aware that unfair r.dicule is c*pable of logical dein dish-mont.From Mr.Foster something better was expected than the petty criticism to which h rested his audiences.Even on the financial record »»f the Laurier govern-m nt he had nothing more formidable to Sky than that the expenditure had i creased contrary to the expectation of Sr W1 frid Laurer.He ignored not only the remarkable increase in the revenues of the Government,but also the s ecial circumstances connected with the ?ist increase in the country’s trade and development which had cilled forth the in reased expenditure.No intelligent h trer, friendly or unfriendly from the pirty point of view, could fdl to note the omissions of these considerations from Mr.Foster’s addresses, or fail to see that the inferences he drew were weakened thereby.As the great financier of the Conservative party, something more edu-Oitive was to have been expected from Mr.Foster.Not less weak were the references of the several speakers to the preferential tariff.Mr.Pope’s insinuation that the Premier had been too generous to the Mother Country in this matter, and should have insisted on Great Britain giving a quid pro (]HO for the advantage obtained in our] market certainly fell flit before one audience at any rate, and was in strange contrast to his criticism of Sir Wilfrid’s hestation with regird to the Canadian contingent until the constitutional aspect of that undertaking had been properly weighed.Exactly what Mr.Foster thinks should have been done in the matter of preferential trade has not ytt been made clear, but it is plain that Mr.Pope thinks that Canada should have driven a niggardly bargain with the Mother Country in the interest of the Canadian farmer.Such a bargain, however, implies a return to protection in Great Britain but tho so-called Fair Traders there who, a few yeirs ago, began a deceptive warfare against the established principle of free trade, have received their quietus, from ihe leaders of both parties, for years to come.But he fundamental difhcid y of the Conservative leaders is that they have no c instructive poli ‘y to otfer in place of the Liberal policy.Mr.Foster, for instance, cleverly misrepresents the government on the plebiscite question, but what does Ar promise with regard to prohibi tiou ?And what is still more to the purpose, what did Mr.Foster, the enthudas tic prohibitionist do for prohibition, during all the years that he was a power ful minister in Conservarive administrations ?This is the reflection which nullifies his criticisms of the Laurier Government on this question ; and it is also a very good illustration of the lack of a substitution po’icy on the part of the Opposition.The political results of the tour have certainly been limited in extent, aud wo e coi.fi lent that the electorate generally aw kit with interest the visit of the government leaders to the townships that is expected shortly.{From our Si#rial Corn*poudeut ; O tawi, Nov.25 -Short, *h*rp and decisive will pretty accurately describe the local campaign now iaWi g place in Manitoba.B >th parties are fully prepar ed for the fight and each h eodeavori g to cut out the pace for the other.Government, wrh* recurd I twelve >ear«’ faithful, economical progressive administration, appeals w th well founded co fidei.ee f *r a renewal of power, while the Oppositi n, with a rity of the Tory candidate at the general election was 306, so that there must have been 423 voters who have changed their political opinions since that time.We extend our congratulations to the Liberal party on the signal victory that has come to it.Robert Bond and his l»arty of faithful followers are no strengthened by the addition of Mr.John Dwyer, member elected for Saint John » east, and Mr.Charles Way, for Fortune Bay The whole Liberal element throughout the Colony is to be compîi mented.Liberalism is not dead, but Tory misrule and corruption are fast tottering to their fall.Mr.Bond, who succeeds Sir W.White way as leader of the Liberal party on the Island,is an exceptionally clever man and pdittciin and is well known to Canadians in connection with the proposed Bond Blaine Treaty between the United States and Newfoundland.The result there must be taken as proof that the Government had lost the confi dence of the pe pie, and were it# men • here to go to their coueutu#nte now their defeat would follow.THE PULP WOOD Although the pulp wood industy has made considerable progress in the last two or three years, there is evidently immense possibilities ahead of it.Ihe fact is generally recognized, tha* the American pulp wood forests^are practical ly depLted, aud that future supply for the euormous demands of the American paper market must be drawn from Canada.But the British market, and the European market generally, is not much better off than that of the United States.True a certain amount of the raw material can be procured in Scindanavia and Russia, but Great Britain at least is looking more to the Dominion every year for her supply.A representative of the trade is in Canada at the present moment, arranging for a visit next summer of about sixty of the principal pulp-wood and paper manufae turers of England, who desire to look over the ground for themselves.He deîlared that although 100 000 tons of pulp were imported by Great Britain from Canada during the last twelve months, the coming year will see that amount doubled, and in a very brief period the amount required will be at least half a million tons annual ly Not only is there this great and increasing demand for the pulp, but thers will bo a splendid opportunity for the investment of British capital in the establishing of pulp mills, indeed already there are representatives of more than one syndicate of British capitalists, spy ingout the land and selecting suitable sites f >r their purpose.A GREAT COMBINATION.The Opposition appears to be much hurt at ths suggestion thot has appeared In Government- quarters more than once that they are showing much greater oner gy now in explaining how things should he done, than they ever manifested in doing them, while in otlic *; but as the Toronto Globe observes —“No preferen tivl tariff was enacted u «til a Liberal Government came into power ; then the C meervative leaders who had done noth ing b.*gaii to show how much better they would h ive done.No aid was given to Great Britain in any war until a Liberal Government came into power; then the leaders who had done nothing began to show how much better they would have done.A Liberal Government doing things and a Conservative Opposition shouting make a good combination, and the people will do well not to disturb it.The Cor sorvative leaders have qutlitie* which fit them admirably f ra permanent Opposition.” AMENITIES OF PUBLIC LIFE Public bar qaets to public men are often of a more or less perfunctory character and p saess very little real significance.Notable exceptions to thi’,however,occur in those tendered to the two new mem hers « f the Provincial Cabinet, Messrs Stratton of Peterborough, and Latch ford of Ottawa, for in each instance they arj spontaneous and genuii e tributes to personal worth, tendered by men of all shades of political and every creed a* a recognition i f tho good citizenship and all n und merits of the recipients.In Peterborough a leading part in the festivities whs taken by prominent Con servativea of the city, who vied with one another in testifying to the esteem in which they held the man who had represented them with integrity and intelligence for thirteen years.Tne banquet to Mr.Latch ford in this city promises to be of an tq ially significant and gratifying character.Though hitherto comparatively unknown in politics outside his own immediate viciai'y^the new Commissioner of Public Worka if not only recognized here as exceptionally sh e, but he is extremely popular, and while his selection for a seat in the Cabinet has given unbounded fatisfaction to his friends it has been we’l received also by his political opponents.The idea of giving public expression to this satisNcti m originated, as a matter of fact with a prominent Conservative in town, and he is warmly sapported by many of his co-partisans.The incident is worthy of more than local notice from the evidence it offers of a tendency to strive for a higher and more impersonal plans in matters political, PREFERENTIAL TRADE The go »d work inaugurated by the Laurier Government when it put into operation a policy of preferential trade with the Mother Country is slowly but surely bearing fruit.Recognizing how deep rooted are the principles of free trade in England, permeating the masses of her people to an extent that makes them shy of any suggestion of even a semblance of protection, our Government realiz*»d the utter futility «f attempting to secure any reciprocity of preference at first but believed that a demonstration of Canada’s good-will would do more than aught else t) reach the desired goal.The (principle of gov rnment In England is that of true d m cracyand th# voie3 of *he pro, lv pr, vails every time, so that every new departure is reached by edu-a ing th people to realize ite desirability.That process of education is now going on, and the work will be aided by the action of the Toronto Board of Trade in deciding London, December i.—(Sp c ial)—Rumours of the reiief of Kimberley are current on the Stock Exchange.There is no other news at this hour (2 p.m ).LADYSMITH AGAIN BOM-B \RDED.London, December I.— The Times publishes the following de*-patch from F re re, Natal, dated November 27 :— Ladysmith was heavily bombarded to-day.” PARTIAL LIST OF MODDER RIVER CASUALTIES.London, Nov.30.—The War Office has received from the gene al commanding at Capetown the fol-lowirg: — Receiv:d from Modder river, Nov.30:— AMONG THE DEAD.Staff Colonel H.P.Northcott, 2nd Second Coldstreams.Lieut.-Col.H R.Stopford.Captain S.Earl.Lieut.Loud, Second Yorkshires LIST OF WOUNDED.The following officers were also woundt d:— Lieutenant-General Lord Meth uen, struck by a bullet in the thigh Third Gienadiers—Major Count Gleichen;

I lifted my eyebrows in mild astonishment.I had an idea that I waa sufficiently wicked, not desperately or viciously wicked, you know, but just about wicked enough.“Would you like me to poison pussy, or steal Aunt Jane’s knitting, or put gunpowder in the governor’s pipe, or ¦mash the mater’s—no, ’pon my word, Cis, I won’t do anything to the dear little mat?r." “Don’t bo so absurd," said She severely ("She" with a big S, if yon please ).“You don’t look pretty when yon make faces, Cis." “You said yesterday that I couldn’t help looking pretty." We had only been engaged three days then.“Oh, Jack!" There were explanations here which do nut affect the argument.“I didn’t mean that sort of wicked-oesB," said she.“Isn’t kissing wicked?" “Of course not, when pehple aro engaged.Don't, Jack." “Well, what’s the particular crime you admire, Cis?" I inquired cheerfully.“I dare say I’ve committed it in the course of a long and evil life." “ You know I don’t mean real wickedness that is wickeduess.I’m quite sure that you wouldn’t ever—quite, quite ¦urs, dear"— I wasn’t so sure, but I was clear enough that I shouldn’t tell her of it.“I only mean little wickednesses—not wickednesses really, only — er —you know what I mean." “You aro always strikingly lucid," I observed politely.“You aro always teasing mo." “Is that wickedness which is or which isn’t?" “I’m not going to discuss frivolities, ¦ir.You know what I mean." “I’m hanged if I do!" “Well, I mean—people say—that a man ought not to be—that is—I know what I mean, but I can’t express iL And I won’t, bo laugh* d at, Jack." “Yon aro being laughed at, Cis." “But I don’t like» it, please." “Well, you mean that it doesn’t seem manly for a man to bo too good and proper.Is that it, Cis?" “Of course it is." “Upon my word I’m not." “Ah," said she triumphantly, setting herself magisterially in a corner of the largo armchair (she doesn’t nearly fill it), “what have you doue?I shall expect you to tell mo all." She almost looked as if she expected It, too, which was absurd.So I determined to make a careful selection, but there was such an embarras do richesse! Of course I couldn’t tell her of the wickednesses which wore, and wickednesses which weren’t I found somewhat difficult to define.“Well"— I began hesitatingly.“Go on, sir—the truth." “When I was a boy"— “Oh, that doesn’t matter.I suppose you’ve done something wrong siuce then." “Er—I’ve sometimes had a bet on a horse race or a cricket or football match." “How much—£5?" “Well—er—not more.You see, I’m not really a betting man." If I’d told lier of that coupon Yellow Dragon, it might have got rouud to the governor, you see.“Oh, well, that isn’t very much.What else?" “Sometimes when I w?as at Oxford I had quite enough to drink." “Oh, Jack! But you didn’t ever get qnite—not really—so that you could not"— “Drunk?Oh, dear, no! That would have shown a great weakness of character." It wasn’t worth while to mention that night when the other men put me in bed the wrong end, with my boots on the pillow.I was only overcome with the smoke and excitement, you kuow.“There’s a good boy! I’m glad," she said, just touching my hand with hers.“Anyhow I’m almost a teetotaler low.Well, that’s nearly all." “Now, Jack!" “Except that I might have saida swear word or so now and then.Football and billiards are very trying you know " If she’d heard me talk to that cabby on boat race day t “Dm!" “Isn’t that wicked enough?" “Yc-es, but men all do it.Even dad when he dropped the big hammer on his foot the other day paid’*— “What?" “Nevermind.Perhaps it was‘Dear me!’" ••Oh.that’s how I always swear." •‘You tell awful—untruths." “Yea, that's my form of wickedness." 1 heaved a sigh of relief that she had settled the question.“But haven’t you, Jack—haven’t you ever flirted?That’* what 1 mean." I thought so.“Good gracious, yes!" “fcjince you knew me?Now, tell me.I won’t he cross; really I won’t." “But I’ve known you ever since you were a baby, lucre or les».Yon were a titeM me youngster, Ci», ’pon my honor you were." “I mean since yoo—yon—liked me.” 41 can’t remember when I didn’t." •‘Dear old Jack! Is tl at really true?" “True as gospel, little one." Ah a matter of fact it was.“Now I've confessed enough," I observed.“No, you haven’t.There’s something 1 want to know." I tuMlohd my mustache uneasily.I thought there was.“]).?! you flirt with Polly Graham la*r ( 'hristnjas?“ I knew that was coming.“Oh—er—not exactly." “Now, Jack!" “Oh, well, nothing to fqieak of." “Not on boxing day?" “I don’t remember." “When you walked homo from skating v ith in r?" “You wire ho taken up with that fool Jackson.’’ “You didn’t ask mo to skate with you." “You always had half a dozen fellows round you." “I couldn’t help it." I gnawed my mustache and glared.“Jack! Don’t he disagreeable.I wanted you to ask me." Here, again, there was an irrelevant interval.“Now about Polly Graham?" she coaxed.“Plea.se tell me.I won’t he cross.And—and—I do want to kuow." “Perhaps I did flirt a little." “You kissed her?" "Er—no." It’s all very well to talk, but a fellov can’t help looking guilty.“That's not true." “Oh, well.I—er—didn’t want to." “Nonsense! Why did you do it?" "1 haven’t said I did." "I kuow you did." “Oh, I did, then!" "You are unkind — horrid.I you.I won’t be engaged to you I’ll never speak to you again 1" "Why, Cis, you promised." “I don’t care." "But I do, very much." "I’m glad—glad—glad.Now yen’ll be sorry.And I—don’t care.Don’t touch me! I—don’t—care—a—bit." To prove her indifference she began to cry, so I picked her right up in my arms.“It was only one, Cis." “Is that true?" “Absolutely." Of course it wasn't."And you never will again?" "Never." Of course I didn't mean forfeits or anything of that sort.“And don’t want to?" "Not a bit." "Then I think—I will be-*-engaged to you still—if you want mo." “If, little Cis!" Here there was a further irrelevant interval, after which she actually laughed.“I don’t want you to bo wicked, really, Jack." "No, dear." “And I don’t mean to talk about it SHEBROOKE Carriage Factory Do not think for a single moment that consumption will ever strike you a sudden blow.It does not come that way.It creeps its way along.First, you think it is a little cold; nothing but a little hacking cough ; then a little loss in weight: then a harder cough; then tne fever and the night sweats.The suddenness comes when you have a hemorrhage.Better stop the disease while it is yet creeping.You can do it with Ayer’s Cherry pectoral SLEI GHS bate and You first notice that you cough less.The pressure on the chest is lifted.That feeling of suffocation is removed.A cure is hastened by placingone of Dr.Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral Plaster over the Chest.A Book FreOm It is on fhe Diseases of the Throat and Lungs.Writ a urn Frmely.If y u have any complaint whata'ver Ri.d desire the bent medical advice you can possibly receive, write the doctor freely.You will receive a prompt reply, without cost.Address.DU.J.C.AVER.lx>well, Mass.OF ALL KINDS KKADY MADE AND MADE TO ORDER ON SHORT NOTICE.Light and Heavy Harnesses.All my work is made of the best material and workmanship and warranted Will be sold at price?to meet the times.Call and examine my stock and you are sure to be convinced that I can offer you bargains in the best of goods and at lowest prices.Repairs and Painting done on short notice.P.BIRON FIST SHEPBH!

"You think be was right?" Thd man nodded his head in the direction of tha building they had just left "Not at all," said she, with a Uttla toss of her head."1 think ha was all wrong In general." "But In particular?” "You and I have nothing to da with particulars,” she remarked, kicking away a stone which lay In her path."We are particulars”—briefly."No, we are not," retorted the girl."We are most decidedly generals.My father Is General Carwithen, my grandfather was General Carwithen; your father is—a general dealer." This latter was said under her breath.The man did not contradict her; ht merely asked her if it made any difference to themselves."1 think we are, and always shall be, as far apart as those two stars,” slit said sadly.The rain had ceased, and two watery stars twinkled feebly in the gloomy sky.‘‘I am nearly home now," she said, after a little silence."You had better not come any farther.Good night." The man apparently did not see the hand site held out.He said good nigiit laconically, but be turned and watched her until she was out of sight.Once home, she flung herself on the bed in an agony of despair.The man found his friend awaiting him on his doorstep.“Hello! You look a bit down in the mouth.Needham.I knew this business wouldn’t work satisfactorily," he said.“It’s working splendidly," answered the other.“Then what is It?” asked his friend.Randal Needham gave a little laugh and shrugged his shoulders."The tale is as old as the hills, Arthur," he said.“I am in love.” “Phew!” ejaculated his friend.“Oh.it’s all right," said Needham.“She is a perfect Indy." Arthur glanced round his friend’s study.Violins and bows galore littered the room; music was tin* dominating passion of tin* man’s life.“She doesn’t know?" he asked.“Not she!’’ answered Needham."She j thinks my father is a general dealer in ; —only heaven knows what! But I’ll make her own she loves me before she does know.No one here has ever | guessed my story.1 am a poor violin teacher, pure nnd simple." “Not so simple, either." Grosvenor laughed.The two men had brought out their pipes and sat puffing away at them to their heart’s content.“Look here, 1 met an old woman 1 know In the street today," went on Grosvenor."I told her I was staying with you, and she asked me to dine there; she turned up her lofty nose with scorn at the hare Idea of you Joining her select party at table.No one Is good enough for Mrs.Banter; she has lier precious ‘girls’ ’ future to think of.nnd you are not an eligible." “Ranter!" echoed Needham.“Why, that’s the name of my best pupil’s ; mother.“Are you going?" “Is thy servant a dog?” returned Grosvenor.“Mrs.Ranter Is one of the most arrant humbugs on the face of this earth.Nothing short of a title is worth anything to her," said Needham."Oh.I know her,” returned the other."I think sha would sell her soul for position." "If she had one," added Needham, and they both laughed."How did that ’general dealer' Idea get about?” asked Grosvenor.He had •topped smoking to refill his pipe."Oh, I don’t know!" answered the other."I expect Mrs.Ranter Is at the bottom of It.and I haven’t contradicted it because It served my purpose well." "You were always a rum chap, you know,” said his friend."I can’t think how It is people don’t see through you." Needham paused In the act of putting some coal on the fire."1 have always had my ideals.’’ he said.“One of them was to be loved and married for myself alone My father being out In Onnnda made it easy for me to sink my IdenM tv.And I’ve had an Ideal existence.too." he added."It’s rather fun to l>* ?mibhed when you know it is uunotvs aarj." Grosvenor looked thoughtfully into the fire.“1 had ideals, too.once upon a time," he said.“I would have dit^J for any of them any day.The difficult pan was to live up to them." "Don’t outlive them, old fellow.’’ said Needham “It is a mistake When the real shines in the reflected glory of tin* ideal, it is always the better for it.” “IK) you really think so?” asked Grosvenor as he got up.“I am off to bed now.If I stay up any longer you will be perr.iiading me to follow your example, and I don’t think I should find it as amusing as you did." The next morning Randal Needham was coming back from giving a lesson when he saw Cecil Carwithen in front of him.She was carrying lier violin case and looked white aud tired.“You must let me have that." he said masterfully, pointing to the case.“Aud now tell me why you are looking so pale this morning." A slight flush mounted to her brow.“1 am tired,’’ she said briefly."That isn’t all." he replied.At this moment Mrs.Ranter bore down upon them.She cut the girl, and bowed Icily to Needham.It would not do for her to offend him.Kate was beginning to play the violin so well under his careful tuition.“Cecil,” said the man.possessing himself of lier hand, "you know I love you.dear.Couldn’t you make up your mind to marry me some day?" “It’s no use," she said sadly.* My parents would never consent." “Oh.yes they would!"—in a triumphant tone.“Our lives lie In different directions." j objected the girl.“But I make enough to keep you," I urged Needham.“You need never do j a stroke of work.And I am not com-I mon nor vulgar, whatever my father , may be.Cecil, say you love me." The girl looked at him, and he read the answer in her brown eyes.Then she seized lier violin out of his hand aud fled, leaving him staring stupidly after her.with a whole world of joy on his face.For the next week neither of them saw each other.Randal Needham went away suddenly the day after, and staid away, to the surprise of his pupils (for it was term time), and the righteous Indignation of Mrs.Ranter."But what could one expect of a man like that?" she whispered confidentially to her bosom friend, a lady whose great niece hail married the great nephew of a baronet.Needham came back the day after this charitable remark bad been made.He was in deep mourning, and his first visit was to General Carwithen.Cecil was in the garden, and thither he wended his way after the interview was over."I have come to claim you," he said."What has made fat lier consent?" asked the girl.The tones of lier voice were Incredulous."I have Informed him of a few facts; and now I must break them gently to you," answered he.The wind had ruffled Cecil’s hair, and he smoothed it back with a loving gesture.“I am not bound to work for a living," lie said, “and”— “Well?" she queried anxiously.“Look at that," he said, thrusting a paper into her hand nnd turning away, so that lie might not see lier face.He need not have been afraid.Cecil read the marked paragraph, “The funeral of Lord Conningham." There was also a likeness of the heir, nnd it nnd the man sitting beside lier were Identical.Mrs.Ranter was considerably astonished the next morning to get a letter in the ex-violin’s master’s handwriting: “Lord Conningham regrets that lie will he unable to continue Miss Ran ter’s lessons, os he is leaving Leominster." Still more surprised was she at the anuouneement of Ids engagement to Cecil Carwithen, which lier daughters read out of the local papers a few mornings later.“Girls!" she said to those two young ladies, “why didn’t we ask him to diu- I’tfrhap* the hindaoaiofet number of The Crntury Mujii:uu ever iiumed m th*t which t> d tie Novjuibqr, 181W The cover iie«igo includes * portrait ot Crom well redrawn on atone by Krueat Hwakell and printed in four tints ; while the frontispiece %leo in tints—ia a wood eu gram g by T.Johtieou from Coopér a painting of the Protector in Sidney Su«»ex College, Cambridge.In Timothy Cole’a aeriea of wood-engraviuga from the Old Kiigliah Matrera appear Liwreuce'a “Duke of Wellington” and “Old" Crome' “ louMt-ht l 1 Heath” and a “Windmill.'* Nor does this eihauat the Hat * f fall-page picturea that aud i>o much to the handsome appearance and artistic imorcat of the magazine.But the main value of the number lies by no uieana in ita illustra lions : f »r apart from the beginning of Mr.Meriey’s important Cromwell aeries and Mr.Thompson’s bear biography, there is a hitherto unpu dished poem by the late J «lues Russell L *well ( ‘Verses Written in a Copy of Shaksepeare"), the true and terrible story of the adventures of a boat-load < f castaways on the Pacific is told by Mark Twain, “formerly .Mike Swam G »v.Roosevelt wrres with characteristic forgetfulness of “Military Prepan d tes» and t'npn parednes* ;" a p'em “Trie Golden Cro«n Sparrow of Al.sk*, ’ by ohu Bunoughs, .fed ahum oro ;aly vi u son e , mce of realistic fiction by Dr.Weir Mitchell tu n-* f *r tl e tirtt'eves of • Ttie Au ibiograph o' i Q lack.” In the h e story of a Mai < fanm r and‘1 i g horc bailor living near his summer house in Mait.e, President Kibot of Har\ard muima his < ccHsmna] contributions on “The Forgotten Midi ns.’ Captain Slocum continues his “single htndtd” cruise around the world, taking the Spray this month to U «binson Crusoe’s Island and Stevenson's Samoa.Fiction in sh >rt store form is furnished t>y Abraham Caban, Klla D’Arcy, and Seumas MacManus, and verses, grave or gay, bear the familiar names of John Vance Cheney, Lilia Cabot Perry, Charles Bittel Loomis, etc.TOBACCO HEART.Professional Cards.smoking '§¦ you 15 m c been good deal lately and feel an occasional twinge of pain round your hemt.Are you short of breath, nerves unhinged, sensation of pins and needles going through Vour amis and fingeref Better take a box or two of Mill turn’s Heart and Nerve Pills and get cured before things become too serious.Here’s what Mr.John James, of Caledonia, Out., U J M1AX)MK1KLD.L D.M.oiiK* la k5 bithjr Block, up * min*.Mi.rnrooke.And echo answered, Paul’s Budget."Why?”—St A Worthy Object.Dan el ilitz.Proprietor ana Publisher )f the Hamburg, Ont., Independent says : "I was su tiering from Dysitepma and Liver Trouble, I took a few fiotties of Shiloh’s Vitahzer and it cured me.I can heartily recommend it."

I could not continue for a full minute, so struck was I by the unexpected philosophy and wisdom of Ids reply.1 could not help being a reporter, and I knew It.When 1 explained that I wanted an address on Fourth street, and had already been to three Fourth streets, and would like to know If there were any more, lie lifted his hammer and poised It In the air for half a minute.“You vont to know if dere is some more of dose Fourt’ streets?" he asked."Veil, I vill tell you.I haf lived here dwenty years, trying to find somedlnga owt, and I didn’t find auydiugs owt yet” _____________________ The Rider Rooth** Vlenntlfal Rend* In ir.I never heard any one read Just like the elder Booth.It was beautiful.He made the figure stand before you!

»ep lug bees in a house.While there are many apiarists who use heeiious- ex clusively, the majority do imt.There are also many different kinds and va rieties of houses used.A beeliouse ihnmJ not be an expensive one, and almost any kind of house will answer the purpose.None is better than au old dwelling house, and two or more rooms are the more convenient, provided they have an outside face of one end or side, or both.Perhaps a two room house with one partition is the best.Such a house with two ordinary sized rooms, say 14 feet square, will give 112 feet of outside surface, but take off 12 feet for doors, etc., and the 100 feet left will accommodate 50 colonies of bees by setting the hives two feet apart from center to center, which will give ample working room.The entrances are cut through to the outside aud made to correspond to the entrance to the hives.The hives may be set directly on the floor, but I would prefer them set ou the usual bottom boards, nailed to cleats at each end, that would raise the hive some four in.lies from the floor, this for the purpose of chaff packing in winter.Bees thus kept iu a house are very easily prepared for winter, and the extra protection thus afforded brings them through the winter in prime order.A very cheap beehouse and a very convenient one that I have used and which I make exclusively for bees is a small bouse 10 feet long, 6 feet wide aud 6 feet high.This building accommodates 11 colonies, find the expense does not exceed $1 per colony.This is no more than chaff hives will cost for each colony outside.Floor space LATEST HIVES COMPLETE.for the hives to rest on only is used, as a ground floor in the center is preferred.The objection to a much longer house on the same plan is that it is not convenient to move, and also that bees become more or less confused where so many entrances are close together and all have the same appearance.This has always been the objection to beehouses, but small buildings such as these, located around at different places, overcome this objection.In addition to the foregoing paragraphs by A.H.Duff of Kansas, The Farm, Field and Fireside illustrates the latest style of hives, with the statement that they are no man’s private property, but about every beekeeper’s furniture, used now almost exclusively by all specialists.No.1 is a hive arranged for comb honey with two supers, each containing 24 one pound section boxes, thus saving a surplus capacity of 48 pounds.The brood chamber contains eight of the standard frames.Hive No.2 is simply two brood chambers, the upper set of frames used for extracting honey.A Handy Device.In making a husking horse an Ohio Farmer correspondent employs a pair of old wheels of convenient size, an FOB HUSKING AND FODDER CARTING, axle of gas pipe the desired length and two pieces 1 by 3 and 10 feet long for sides.These are made up like a wheelbarrow.Then he puts uprights in a slant over the wheels.You can husk ou one end and pile the fodder on the other end.He uses it for carting fodder from one shock to the other aud has hauled live shocks at once on it.It is very handy in winter, when feeding when the ground is frozen, to wheel fodder or straw on.Nltroorrn For G runs.The Rhode Island experiment station affirms that two points are well illustrated by its recent experiments ns to the effect of nitrogen on grass and clover: 1.In order to secure large crops of grass, considerable quantities of immediately assimilable nitrogen, preferably in the form of nitrate, must be at hand early in the season.The earliness of the application is an important feature In a dry season like that during a part of May and June in the year 1809.2.Good crops of clover can be grown upon limed land without an artificial supply of uitrogen.This was also demonstrated here in a former experiment.?fe*v* and Notes.At the recent meeting of the American Bornological society the committee on new native fruits reported as among the most promising kinds: Apples, the Canajoharie, Pride of the Hudson, Koffman's June and the Pride of Tennessee; peaches, the Worcester, Evans and Dewey: grapes.Brown’s Seedling mid the Charlton; strawberries, the Gibson, Seaford and Hall; the blackcap raspberry, Evans.From all sections of the commercial onion belt fine and exceptionally heavy yields are reported, and the onion crop as a whole rates ns one of the biggest ever harvested.Some of the authorities claim that the apple crop is about one-third of A full crop.Sulphur mixed with land plaster la Advocated by the scientists for onion ®n ut HON.MR.DUFFY RECOVERING.For the past day or two Hon.H.T.Duffy, Minister of Public Works, his been confined to his ro >ro in the Winds* r Hotel, Montreal, from the resubs of a a cold.His many friends will be g-ad to learn that he is now rapidly recovering.Nominations In Manitaba for th© elections took place yesterday, p filing next Thursday ;

Her Diitit-» -Ancient Public llou»e».For those who have little or much money amusements are plentiful in London.The music halls in the ea.-t end are cheap, and there are many theatres for the man of small means.Every place of amusement is open to the rich.In the summer there are excursions on the Thames, and cheap trips can be made to river aud seaside re sorts.The provincial—the man who lives outside London—is not so fortunate.His choice of amusements is very limited, but he makes the best of what ho gets.The dwellers in the big cities have plenty of fun, too.It is the resident of a small town who is sadly put about for lack of manufactured jollity, and he has to wander around making his own fun.The public house, or “pub” as it is called, is a great institution in the pro vinces.In the bar parlors, with their carpeted floors and cushioned chairs, the ship of state is steered by a man whose tongue becomes loosened with drink.There are men in the sandy-floored drinking rooms that propound crude ideas of socialism over the flowing bowl, who run the government of the country, and who seek to show others how much better it would have been if the grand old man had never tried to give home rule to Ireland.That inherent fondness for poetry which seems implanted in the provincial shows itself in the names of public houses in his small town.He has labeled his drinking saloons “The Pig and Whistle,” “Dog and Dart,” “Three Pigeons,” “Horse and Jockey,” “Black Horse Inn,” “Cock and Trumpet.” No one but an Englishman has seen a blue lion, so he chronicles the fact by naming a pub after this wonderful animal.Then he has selected his own way of handing down the names of heroes to posterity.Boniface gets an artist to paint a portrait of Nelson and with this sign over the door he calls his place “Lord Nelson Inn.” In fact, Nelson seems to be the most popular man among the topers, for he stands guard over hundreds of public houses in England.In the villages nearest some nobleman’s house the chief pub always bears the name of the family.The “Devonshire Arms” is near the duke’s residence and “The Gladstone Arms” may be found near Ha warden.There are some pubs which are so old that they seem hardly able to bear the burden of years.These are the ones that strangers like to visit.Their oak settles, their quaint rmrlors and their foaming tankards of home brewed ale take one back hundreds of years.Chester has many of these ancient inns, with their immense oak beams forming a bla* k net work on the white front.Manchester boasts of “The Seven Stars” near Shudehill market as the oldest licensed house in Great Britain.This is a quaint old building with diamond-paned windows.As you enter the door you dip your head quickly lest your hat should strike the top of the low doorway.The sand gives out a crisp sound, as you crush it on the whitened floor.A narrow passage, a drop of several feet and you reach the bar parlor, where the young cavaliers during Charles the First's time used to drop in to sup ale or mulled wine.The fireplace occupies one side of the room, but if you stand in the centre you can almost touch each side of the parlor and your head almost touches the ceiling.If these ancient inns were the only pubs in the provinces they would almost reconcile a teetotaler to the good brown ale of England.But the nineteenth century bonifaces have altogether different ideas of what a pub should be.They have glittering, gorgeous gin palaces, crowded with mirrors; they ha-e concerts at which all sorts of songs are sung; and they pander to the low est elements, As every public house has a number of barmaids, some pretty and some otherwise, it seems strange that the strictly moral John Bull should not legislate against the employment of girls in such capacity.Yet the barmaid’s life is not one round of temptation and insults from drunkards, notwithstanding her surroundings.In the big cities she is more exposed to temptation, as her identity is more or less lost.But in the towns of 100,000 inhabitants downward she preserves her dignity and she can always find a champion who will smite the man who dares to say a wrong word to her.When a man becomes boisterous it is often a few words from the barmaid that will make him leave before the bouncer appear During the daytime there is little ex citement in the pubs, as few provincials are free from work beiore 6 o’clock.On market days the farmers take possession of the iwst inns and clinch bargains over a pot of ale.Towards 8 o’clock the fun begins, particularly in the winter.If there is some measure up in the house of commons for passage an excited dis cussion will be startel and various plans will be laid for the best government of the country.The man who will talk gets on his feet and does not cease until some other ambitions orator interrupts him.Then the pianist or the amateur violinist will play and as soon as a note is sounded a man in the crowd is sure to sing a costermonger song.The singer or player is then asked to drink, and the merriment continues.A song with a jolly chorus i" always ap predated.In some of the pubs they have paid singers, but in thequietef ami more respectable inns everybody does his own singing.It is like a clubhouse or a family party, with the women left out.The Englishman in the provinces manages to enjoy himself in this way.though he has not the same privileges and amusements as his brethren iu the big cities and in the metropolis.g^Cook'i Cotton Boot Compound ¦kÎ Is successfully used monthly by OT«r ^¦1 Jhnonoradies.Safe,effectual.Ladlesa*k ^ ^jonr druggist for Cask • Uttoo B«et C#«-Lmf.Tikc no other as all Mixtures, pills and Imitations sre dangerous Prtae, No.1, $1 per box;
