A week after the interview in the office, he saield in the Comet for the flailing -ground& of the North Sea. Bight weeks, long and dreary to those ab sea, soon pan ashore.

Be had found a desk for him in the Mike, and under his own eye Harrington should commence the new life. Though Gentles mind was busy, his eyes kept straying dowa the harbour; and at last he heard the taunt, pant, pant of a tug, and saw her red -banded funnel passiug the lower ferry. Astern was a dandy-rigeed trawler. Scores of smaoks andluggers were already moored at the quay -side, and what with scandalised sails, masts, shrouds, and dangling halliards, it was a minute or two before he could make her out. When the snake -like coil of the towrope wascastoff Dad the tug sheered out, Genth saw the new- comer was the Comet. He made a step for- ward, then stopped as if he had been shot, His eyes were glued to her rigging. She was flying her flag half-mast high 1 It was not the first time Genth had beheld that orainous sign, but now it turned him faint. In his mind ran one thought-suppese it was flying for Tom Harrington ! lie stood for a minute fascinated, then walked gloom.. ily baok to the office. He eat there with his faee buried in his hands, when the open- ing_ of the door, the sound of sea -boots, and and the voice of Holmes, aroused him. "I ken see, owner," he said, you ha' been on the quay." wren me," said Gentli with dry lips, "whom you have lost ?" The skipper of the Comet passed a large band through bis opletemetextured hair. "Well, owner," he said slowly, "I'll speak She truth. 'Twor this way : the wind were east"— "In God's name!" cried Genth, "who is it ?" "To sail straight to the pint, owner, 'tis the new deck chap," Genth looked at him helplessly. Barring. ton I He had made all his little plans, anti a greater Hand than his had swept them away. "When did this take place?" he asked. "The night afore lamb.

When he was gone, Genth went to his desk and drew from it a. sheet of roto -paper; on it was written the number of a "And I must break the news," he said. On a bleak January afternoon'two years later, n man came through the tollgate. To save is mile or so, lie bad reached Herring - bourne by is cheerless, treeless out called the New Road. He was thin and bearded. His clothes were shabby, and his steps un- certain. As he tendered the halfpenny toll his fingers burnt like fire. The sun went down as he came through the gate, and the traveller shivered. Au easterly wind was blowing. It lay in wait for him as be rounded a corner, and it roaring gust brought him up gasping for breath. But still he wearily plodded on. At last he stop- ped before a "row," went up it, mid then stopped again, in front of a house with the shelters closed. On them wes chalked -"To Let." In a dazed sort of way he looked at the letters, then made bis way to the quay. Here he halted at the office of Hurley's Fleet. With a trembling hand he tried the door. It was locked. Then, indeed, he seemed. to loose heart, and sat a. incenent on the doorstep. He was looking at the black bough of it tree that flapped noisily against a lighted lamp, when a smack:m-9.n ca.me past. The weary object stopped him and asked Min where 'Hurley lived. Re was told ; and with a sigh went on again, this time towards the Drive. The sky grew darker, and it began to suow' first in light flakes, that he feebly tried to brush away, then faster. Soon he heard the roar of the angry sea,_ and saw the • flaming eye of the Floating Light as it rook. ed inside the Scroby. Here the wind blew fiercer: it gathered the white flakes together and hurled them into his fate till they blinded him. Staggering, clutching at iron rails, and turning his face to them when the strong gusts swept off the sea, he went on till he reached the gate of a house where the blinds wereparted and the remit illumined by gas jets and a merry leaping fire. By that fire a mau sat reading. It was Genth Hurley. The stranger outside opened the gate; the wind drove him up to the door, and he pull- ed the bell. It was answered by a servant, who gazed at him curiously. He asked if he could see the smack -owner. "05 course you can," she said sharply. "But shake some of that snow off I" He tried, but his fingers seemed numb. She impatiently beckoned him in, and left him on the mat while she informed her mas- ter it man wanted him. Before she could speak, the visitor had stolen up behind. As she drew back, he and Genth came face to face. The attitude of the shabby figure was humble, and his knees shook. "Come in," cried Genth eheerily--" come in, my man. Ybu wanted. to see me ?" • In a hesitating way the other stepped forward ; particles of snow had melted on his beard and hung in glistening drcpa. " Den't you know me, Hurley ?" he ask, ed, in a, trembling tone. ."I wonder if Nell will know me? . I'm Tone n. arringten 11' With a strange, gurgling cry Ceenth fell back and clutched at the mantel piece. He seemed turned to stone. The visitor looked wistfully at the bright fire, Ind caressed his thin hands as if he were warming them. "No, no l" gasped Gentle hoarsely, " not him a not Tom Harringtan He was drown. nd I had the fever." He drew a. little nearer the fire, and put his hand 00 5110 tit A tete% -antic ; then with a smile, he looked at (lenth. Plurley'e face wore an awful frozen look. ]Ie appeared cowering hack.

Bub you'll help me to 'find her, won't you ? You'll tell me where she is?" His voice VMS eager, and again he looked at Genth. The door of the rooni was only partly closed, and through it there came a faint cry; then a soothing sound; then cry louder than the first. - The rescued man pricked his ears. "A baby 1" he said, "So you are married. Perhaps -perhaps," he added timidly, "you don't want me hero. I had better go. I bad no right to cone; but 1 thonght you could tell me where Nell was." He gazed again at the fire and his shaky fingers stray- ed over the buttons of his threadbare coat. With an effort he staggered up. It was only Gentles lips that moved. "Yes, yes," -he said, in a hollow tone, "go! And in the name of God, go quick! To- morrow -I'll see you to -morrow. " A gust of wind drove the snow against the window. Before the fleeting patterns of the flakes were off the glass, another gust made them afresh.. Harrington shiver- ed. "It's very cold," he said; "but walk quick, and you'll tell me where to find Nell?" As he put the question there sounded it rippling laugh; then the joyous snatch of • a sung, as some one tripped down the stairs, The wander- er's face grew bright.

The smack -owner's jaw had hall - on; his teeth were chattering; and tremb- ling in every limb, he barely holdup by the mantel piece. A puzzled look stole over Harrington's face. It cleared; and he too began to trerre ble. "Your wife !" he whispered. "You have merried karl You thought me dead I I am going -I am going." He put his hand out to feel for the door. He was trying to find the handle, when it swung epee and Nell stood on the threshold. He gavea low sob, aud with bent head sought to pass her. She tried to see his face. "I am going, Noll," he mumbled--" I am going." Ho was quite helpless now, and blinded by tears, At the sound of his voice, at the sight of the shaky figure grown suddenly old, some memory stirred her, and she clutched, him V the arm. Re lifted his head; their eyes met, and with a wild scream she sank to the floor, An hour later, a doctor came. He looked at Harrington, who had been put. to bed, and shook his head.

To the Editor. • Slic,-There are few diseases of field crops which are the direct came of more loss to the farmere of Canada than that which is known under the different names of "pre. tato rot," "blight" or "rase" My object in writing this letter is to draw the attere tion of your readers to the fact that is prac- tical end simple remedyhas been discovered and that the best time for applying it is during the latter half of this month. This disease of tho potato is due to the attacks of a perasitie fungus, known by the name or Phytophihora imieNtans. The life history of this fungus is briefly as follows The fungus passes the winter inside the potato tuber avid is planted with it in spring. As soon as the potato throws out its shoots, the parasite grows with it, running up through the tissues of the stems aud frotn abottt the end of July produces beneath the leaves oe: abundance of spores, or seed -like bodies. Them are exceedingly minute, but are produced in such numbers that they frequently give a frost -like ap- pearance to the under sides of the leaves. When these spores are produced on the leaves, the appeerance known as "rust" allows itself in the shape of small dark brown dots, which are caused by the dry- ing up of the tissues from the parasite hav- ing used up their cantents. From the rust stage all future infection takes place. Some of the spores are carried by the wind and falling upou the leavesof other adjacent plants, produce more rust spots, while others falling to the ground are washed be- neath the surface and reachbsg the forming tubers produce the rot stage. The wetrot, as seen in autumn in the tubers, is the form of this disease which is best known'but po- tato rot is really a dry rot which kills the tuber, and in autumn the wet rot follows as a result of decay. In winter the disease °calms in the tubers as patches of hard whitish diseased tissue. In this district the rust stage does not generally appear until about the first of 'August and this is the first evidence that blight is present in the field. As a rule the black spoto appear only on a few leaves at first, but if the weather be favorable the disease spreads rapidly from spores carried. by the wind from these centres of infection, so that a large field may become diseased in a few days, and as a result the crop of pota- toes will be ruined. REMEDY. to prepare the mixture some time before re- quire& but it must be kept covered to keep out all dust and rubbish. To appiy thismixture to the foliage un- doubtedly the best and cheapest way is to use a proper sprayiug pump aud nozzle, but if these are not ou hand., good results which will well repay the trouble, maybe obtained by applying the mixture withwatering cans supplied with fine roses. There are several different kinds of spraying pumps in the nutratet. Perhaps the most convenient for this work is a force pump attached to abfc.r- rel on wheels to be drawn through the field by it horse. Smaller machines, known es Knapsaok Sprayers, consist , of a reservoir containing a small force pump, which can be carriea upozs a man'a back, Both of these kinds of pumps can be purchased for about $15 to $20. It will be necessary to spray the fields two or three times to proteet the crop thoroughly. There is no danger of in- juring the foliage with the above mixture, as it is only half the strength of the origin., al formula which is most generally used. A great advantage of this mixture is that Paris green the only practical remedy for the Cetera() potato -beetle, can be applied at the same time. To do this, mix from it quarter to half it pound of Paris green with a little water so e,s to make a thick past and then add it to the 45 gallons of Bor- deaux mixture, that is, it is used in exactly the same strength as with plain water, These mixtures must be kept constantly stirred ivhile being used, as both the lime iu the Bordeaux mixture and the Paris green sink quickly to the bottom of any mixture if loft undisturbed.

A little vessel having is remarkable his- toryyika. leer story illustrates the progress in that region from savagery voward civilize. tionhas plied for years on Lake Tangelo . The best boats on Tanganyika are obtain- ed from enormous trees in the vast forest which skirts most of the shores of the lake. In this forest the boat long after known a.s as the Calabash was origiuelly a huge tree trunk, out down by the axes of the natives with enormous lebour, and then, with axe and adze and fire, moulded into shape. Boats like the Calabesh are excellent sea eessele, though in their liues they suggest rather it clumsy hippopotamus than is swan. Scores of natives dragged the finished boat down the mountain slopes to the lake, where it was launched with much ceremony The medicine man madean offering of beads to the gods of the lake, so that they should take the vessel under their protecting care. Then as e. netive trading canoe the little vessel, still unnamed, began her career with it crew of stout black paddlers, who took her from port to port laden with grain, fruit, salt, oil, dried fish, ivory, and other com- moditees that are exchanged among the tribes. On ono of her voyages, after she had served as a trailing canoe for two years, she entered the pore of Ujiji, where she was bought by an Miwehili slave trader. Re drew her on the shore, deepened her by building pla.nks twoend her sides, atrength- <wed her with thwarts and a half deck, rigged ber with is mast and sail, and then launched her again as is slave dhow. For three yeirs she plied back and forth across the lake bringing onrgoes of wretched men, women, and children to the Ujiji slave market. One day a load of slaves had just been landed on the shore when "nr. Hore, purcha.sing her, drew her up on the beach craft, and decided that she was just: ages around the lake, succeeded in in hnwleiaril pl tteE0 who had rueently come to Ujiji aa au agent of tho London Missionary Society, saw the about what he needed for exploratory voy- ages more, repaired and altered her, rigged sails, christened hor the Calabash, and the little boat was once more launched upon Tanganyika as the first missionary vessel on she became known in time to every tribe thelake. Consecrated to tho cause of peace, around the lake as the harbinger of good in‘ganligsalinfyaisichali with two masts aloe .day, is the result of these surveys, as it appears on our which Mr. Here carried out on ,the Cala- bash. His survey is the best that has yet been made of the lake. He paddled and sailed along the shores, every day seeing a grand panorama of unknown lands and new tribes. By careful measurement and ob- servation month after month, the outlines of the lake and the names of the bordering countries were marked on the map of Africa. It was about two years before Capt. Hore completed his survey. The Calabash was 32 feet long, and its crew consisted of eight natives of U' jiji all of them skillet' ceramists and fishermen. The vessel was big enough to carry a large quantity of supplies and merchandise, so that CapL Hore was able to be away foam home for months at a time. Careful experiments have shown that by spraying the potato haulms at the time the rust first appears with is mixture of sulphate copper and limeknown as the "Berdeanx Mixture," the rust or blight on the leaves can be stopped, and as a consequence a large proportion of the rot be the tubers can be prevented. • BOGDEADX MIXTURE. Copper sulphate, 6 pounds; Lime, ,fresh, '4 pounds; Water, 46 gallons. To make. Bordeaux mixture. -Take six pounds of copper sulphate (blue vitriol) pow- dered, and dissolve it in one gallon of hot water in a wooden tub (iron must not be used, as the vitriol would attack it). Slake four pounds of lime in sufficient water to make a thin evhitewash. Strain this through a fine sieve or a sack to remove all lumpse When both lipids are cool, pour the lime wash slowly into the copper sul- phate solution, stirring it all the time. Now add enough water to make 45 gallon and the mixture is ready for use. It is best They Were on the Make. One day in my rambles among the hills I came upon an old fellow hoeing corn in front of his house, and in the course of our talk he told me he had five sons. "That's a fine family," I remarked. "Mostly," he responded briefly. "Are they all at home 2" "No, riono of them." "They are all growu, then ?" "Yes, and has been fcr it long time." "What do they do -farm ?" " No ; Dill, he mattes shoes ; Jim, he makes staves; Sam. he makes tinware; and Thomas Henry, he makes pills." "Do they all make a living?" I asked, following out the " make " idea, but not uotioing that lie had skipped one of the five. "Yes." "Do any of them make. money?" I con- tinued. The old fellow flushed a little I thought.• "Yes -no," he hesitated, "that is ter say, Hiram, he mad a money, but he don't no more now Bence they &sat him te the peni- tentiary far counterfeithe " 'and there was such a look of pain on the old man's face that I woo ashamed of myself for having unwittingly made the father disclose the skeleton in his closet. Lilith, Adam's First Wife. According to the Jewish Talmud, Lilian the fabled " mother of demons, " was taken to wife by Adam, our first parent, prior to the appearance of Eve upon the scene. Be. in the legendary mother of all evil spirits, one would quite neturally accept the story as, a fact when told that she benme unman- agea.ble and tried. to supersede Adam az lord of all creation. Thwarted in these, her evil. designs, she took to the regions of the air, where, as it spectre in the guise of a beautiful woman, she lies in wait for and pounces upon defenceless children. Some ignoraut European Jews believe that the beautiful murderess still iuliabits the air above our earthly abodes, waiting with the patience oi is demon for a chance to mute der their little ones. It is said that the word "lullaby" is a corruption of the words " Lillia,abi, "or "Begone, Lilthti," words used as a charm by the superstitious mothers of the Middle Ages.

It is is parasite of the ichnenmen, and is hut one -ninetieth of au limit in length. The largest insect that has yet been cata- logued bythe entomologests is the Erebus Strix, a night -flying moth of Central Amer- ica, which has from eleven to eighteen iuohos of wing expanse, The luna beetle of Ceylon seems to be more nearly identified with the moon than with the things of the world.
