"I'm going down to Rossville to be married to the only _girl . worth lovin in the world," said -Howard Gray, with a lover's excusable exaggeration ; "but Miss Eleanor is a charming young lady, and I am intimate enough, to introduce you, if ou like." "Ala!'" said Fitzsimmons, veiling his delight, "thank you. Fn aged, I sup- pose ; and engaged girls are such ores !" "Heart free, I believe," said Howard. "She's extremely hard to please. Well, I'll ask her permission, and we'll call on Saturday evening." To marry an heiress had been Ralph's dream ever since his whiskers began to grow. It was the easiest way of com- ing by a fortune of which he had ever heard; and Ralph detested labor and was fond of ease. At present he was merely a clerk in a fancy store, on a salary which was certainly a shall one, and he had re- solved to marry and settle as soon as possible, whenever he could find any one whose purse was long enough. And now that he was actually thrown in the way of a handsome woman, not only young and amiable, but good-look- ing—so said. Howard, and Howard was a judge—iris joy knew no bounds. "Hard to please, is site ?" said he to himself. "Ah, well, all the better for me. I fancy that I have a certain way with mo that women find it difficult to resist, and I am certainly a very handl- some Inas--reenarkably'handsome." "Won't I go it?" said he to himself, as he munched his rolls and swallowed his coffee. "I Was meant for a jolly life, and I'll have it," And turning his hat sideways on his head he hurried to "the store," where his entt antra was greeted by an angry glance from the .proprietor, who ad- vanced, watch in hand, and inquired tour tly "Well, Mr. Fitzsimmons, are you aware that you are fifteen minutes late ?" "Perfectly, sir," said Fitzsimmons, pertly. "leffteen minutes and a half, .Mulct me a penny, sir. About the amount lost, I believe," The head of the establishment turned purple with rage, but as the entrance of customers prevented him from "having it out with the young man," as he de- sired at once, he contented himself with howling, "No. 4, forward !" in terrific tones, and.. Fitzsimmons, otherwise "No. 4," did "forward" to his plane, batt slowly, and with much dignity, when a lady entered the store, and advancing straight to his eounter, requested to "look at floss silks for embroidery." She was a tall young lady, of very in- dependent manners, dressed plainly. No one of any importance, of course, Fitzsimmons decided, would shop in sueli attire. " What color 7" he said,'without mov- ing, and with his hands in his pockets. "Let me see your stock," said the 'adv. "Can't yott tell me what yott want?" said Fitzsimmons.

Forestry is becoming daily of greater importance to Canadians, since we are so very rapidly- denud- ing our land of the native forests. lair. Thos. Conant of 'Oshawa has been for the past twenty years plant- ing upon his estates about Oshawa very largely. He began by plant- ing some aeres of hard maples; next he planted out some thousand of black walnut trees and red cedars, as well as thousands of fruit trees, and has now purchased several thousand more walnuts for next spring's planting.

The pr a t ice of letting „ ca lre slur with their slams at pasture is still occasionally practised by some breed- ers, but it is not one to be recom- mended. The only two points that can be urged in favor of this practise are: 1. The saving of labor in feeding, which, after all does not amount to touch. 2. It is held that the exercise is beneficial to the growth of the young Animafs. There is no doubt that exercise is beneficial to all growing animals; but cannot a sufficient amount of exercise he obtained without ietting thein run with their darns all day ? 1 think so, and, to my mind, the disadvantage far out weigh the advantage of that system. In the the first place, the system is certain to result in injury to the milking' qualities of the dams. This takes place in all eases where the calves are allowed to suck their mothers, but more especially will be found to be so where the sucking takes place at all tin es during the day, when there is no one at hand to watch the proceedings; and, as the calves grow older and stronger, they are very apt to injure the udder by. their persistent "bunting" in the hopes of indueing a further flow of milk. No,breeder of dairy,stock who is solicitous for the welfare of his cows would ever think of fallowing out such a system, The plan which I have followed, and whieh seems to me the best, is to have one or more small fields near the barn for the calves to run in by themselves. Here they can run in the day time, from the time pasture starts .till the flies get troublesome. .After that I keep them in the stables and let them out at night, till the weather gets cold again. The bulls' and heifers are are separated as soon as the former show signs of being troublesome. In addition to what they pick up in the fields, they get. their grain, and other rations if re- quired, fed to them in the stable. By having the field's near the barn, the labor of turning out and bring- ing in the calves is reduced to a minimum. Judge Gibbons of Chicago estab- lished a precedent in a novel action for alimony. A woman owning con- siderable property entered an aetiori for divorce from her busband, a poor man unable to work. Applica- tion on behalf of the husband for temporary alimony and a sum for solicitors' fees. No such precedent could be found for such an applica- tion on behalf of a man. In grant- ing the demand Judge Gibbons re viewed at length the gradual change in the status of women from the Homeric period to the present age of absolute equality before the law.
