self were glad because we had totted
each other. My love, we will rot atter
serious words or talk of serious things,
but we will spend the day in the sun-
shine, and it shall be the happiest day
ot our lives."
CHAPTER XXX. I '°
e nizsdpPOINTitD LADY.
"The happiest day of our lives," re -
pelted Lady May. "Oh, Clinton, how
long is it since I had a really happy
day l --raver since you went away.
Tbero is a rhyme. Remember now
what you have promised -not one an-
xious look, not one anxious word. We
till spend the day among the flowers,
and be carelessly happy ea two batter -
flies in the•sen."
FIe could mit resist her.
"I will hate one happy day," he said
to himself; "one day to whieh we can
both look back as to a last day in
Paradise. I will tell her to -night before
we part. One happy day out of a life-
time --surely Heaven will not grudge me
that."
"We will take these books with as;
they' look like an apology for
wasting time, and we will go into the
conservatorle ; and there you must tell
me, Clinton, .sail that you have done
since we parted."
'Would to Heaven he could -be asked
no better place, the difficulty lay in the
telling. IIs called himself a coward
and a traitor as he followed her; he
loathed .himself, he loathed the light et
day; the sumshine and the Bowers were
hateful to him; it seemed to him that
a brand was on his brow -the weight
of his untold secret crushed him.
Lady May ledthe way to the enol,
fragrant conservatory, where two diuire
were placed near the flowers.
"Let us sit here," she said. "Do yen
remember, Clinton, how often we have
sat here before yon went away? This
is one of the haunts I liked beat to
visit -it brought you so forcibly to ma
mind aiwayee. I hardly thoettght teat•
we should sit here side by side agMu."
"Life is ail a mystery," he said "Why
we do things, wily, we say them,, awls;?
we perform certain tions and leave
others undone, is all a myst$ ry."

The following conversation, in which a
young lady attending a science school
tells how bread is made, is a striking
commentary upon a correspondenee which
bas recently appeared in the columns of
The St. Tames' Gazette on the subject of
British cooks:
"Bread 1" she exclaims. "well, I should
say I can make bread. We studied that
in our first year. You see, the yeast fer-
ments, and the gas thus formed per-
meates everywhere, and transforms the
plastic material into a clearly obvious
atomic structure, and then-"
"But what is the plastic material you
speak of?"
"0, that is commonly called the
sB 'how do you make the sponge?"
"Why, you don't make It; the cook
always attends to that. Then we test the
sponge with the thermometer and hydro-
meter and a lot of other instrumento, the
names of which I don't remember, and
then hand 15 back to the cook, and I
don't know what she does with it then.
but when it Domes on the table it is just
splendid."
Hard Luck for Taal. scientist.
A scientific gentleman told a little tale
worth repeating at a British Association
meeting the other day. Ho is engaged in
collecting material for a book on magnet-
ism and heard of a paper on the subject
in a German periodical. Not knowing
the Teutonic tongue, he sent the article
to 'a translation bureau, In due time the
translation was handed to him, and
when he scanned the lines he became
very wroth indeed, for . the article was
simply a Gerinan rendering of •one from
the gentleman's own pen, which appear-
ed in an English paper a year before. In-
sult was added to Injury when the soiept
ist had to pay for translation exactly as
lnuoh again as he received from the pro-
prietors of the journal in whioh the
article originally figured.

remainder with warm water, which
raises the temperature and reduces the
viscosity: in which case only half as
much cream will appear as the milk ill
to be given credit for For example, if
the contents of a glees are half water
and show 10 per cent cream upon the
scale, this means, of courae, 20 per cent
of the milk. If the milli is the same
each day and is tested in the same way,
there should be little difference in the
cream shown. Tubes graduated special-
ly for this test are sold by dairy supply
firma. The cream test furnishes a good
opportunity to look for sediment. If the
milk is not clean, dirt can bo seen in
the bottom of the cylinder. Care should

Canned Butter,
Professor Robertson, commissioner of
dairying in Canada, has had some
packages of butter sent to Japan in
tins, and, as the reports regarding them
have been favorable, it is proposed to
pack 1, 2 and & pound tine in a similar
manner for the Klondike. The batter
is wrapped np in waxed paper and
then placed in hermetically sealed tins,
which, it is claimed, will keep the but-
ter good in any climate. A number of
tins have been manufactured in Mont-
real, and a shipment has been sent from
Calgary to the Yukon. Tinned butter
has been a great success in France, and.
there seems to be no good reason why
it should not be so here. Professor Rob-
ertson thinks a large trade may be de-
veloped with China and Japan; but. as
neither Chinese nor Japanese include
butter or cheese in their bill of fare, it
would appear that they need education
in that direction first. A large trade in
tinned butter has existed for years in
Ireland.
Vitality of Snails.
The snail is blesses with great powers
of vitality. A case is recorded of an Egyp-
tian desert snail which came to life upon
being immersed in warin water after hav-
ing passed font years glued to n card in
an English museum. Some ape cies, in
the, collection of a certain naturalist, re-
vived after they had apparently been dead
for 15 years; and, snails, liaving been
frozen for weeks in solid blocks of foe,
have recovered upon being thawed out.
The eggs are as bard to destroy as the
snail itself. They seem perfectly indiffer-
ent to freezing, and have been known to
prove productive after having been
shrivelled up in as overs bethe eetablanee

Separator Milk For Piga.
Separator milk has a very high feed-
Juges/eine for pigs, These are usually
fed entirely too much corn and require
a food with mach less fat and heat in
it, and nothing meets this want so
well as skimmilk.. It is of little valve
to calves when fed alone, but if proper-
ly balanced with corn and fed warm
and sweet it is almost equivalent to
whole milk The feeding value there-
fore of skimmilk depends entirely on
how it is fed If sour and cold and fed
alone, it is of little valve for calves. If
balanced np with corn, either for calves
or pigs. it has greet feeding value. To
get the best results with calves it must
be fed sweet and for young calves
warm. The value of skimmilk depends
on the brains need in feeding it. The
man who finds it worth nothing evi-
dently does not know how to feed it.
The man with experience who places' a
high value on it is evidently the man
that has the "know how "-Live Stock.

GlEie?LEMzit,--A profound sense of per-
sonal gratitude prompts rine to write you
regarding the merits of your Samaria Pre+
scription for overcoming and curing the
habit of drinking liquor. For many years
I have been addicted to going an period-
ical sprees, when I would lose all control
of myself and relapse into a condition un-
fit for human assoe ation. All my efforts
to overcome these fits when they came on
were unavailing. Recently I was induced
to try your Samaria Prescription, in spite
of the fact that I had little or no faith is
such things. To say amazement I experi-
enced immediate beneficial effects, which
not only destroyed. all my former craving
for stimulants but positively made liquor
obnoxious. I feel like a different man. l
sleep soundly and enjoy an Appetite that is
a delight to me. Briefly, I consider your
remedy a God -send and you may use this
letter in any way you sea fit, not :mention-
ing my name.
