Net another word, and with this Sir Clintou Ct• compelled to be contents; but to him there was more of pathoe in those words, "I ant quite balines," than a Wt '» vellime of rernoaele She had forger:ten him; that ought to be enough. Now he must bid goed-by ro the bright, beantiful dream that hea tnede the briglaness of his life; he mew lire Dor his wife and child. Ile wan firm and resolute, hut the doom of the wreathed was on him; Ise might as well have tried to tear, the beaeing :mart from his body, and nee withow it, as tear from bis mind all thought at her. He WaS firm and steadfast; he wonid not spend orie min- ute in couseious dreams of her; he tried to put all merartry of ber out of his life, but he IlfWer quite succeeded, because s,he had been life iteelf to him. Pliers, when he was strong enough to travel, he asked Daisy if they should go back to Seville; but Daisy had grown wise; the dearly loved her pretty home among -the vines and olives, yet she woula not retttrn there, knowing that to bim it must be haunted by memories of tlats past. It was there that he had dreamed of, thought of, and suffered for Lady May. "Caro, we will not go back to Seville," she said; "it is a very pretty home. but very dull. My should we not travel? That would be the best thing for you; it would eheer you, and it would educate me. I have always had a greet lotging to see Spain—will you take me there?" So it was settled; Daisy was not will- ing foe Sir Clinton to return to Seville— she went herself. Mrs. Erne, only too thankful to return to England, weet home a richer and wiser woman; until the day she died she never ceased telling the histoey of foreign lands; she became the heroine of the whole country -side -- an authority whom all the poorer neigh - bars consulted, and not a little proud was the kindly -seaman of her superior knottledge. The house at Seville was left empty; baby with his nurse was to travel with them. Sir Clinton had smilingly ac- ceded to Daisy's wish that the boy should be called Clifton. He wes be- ginning to love the fair-haired, laughing bey who smiled in his face and etretohed out his arms to him. ' The srun was shining just then for Daley; herhusband was kind and at- tentive to her; what was better will, he loved the child. She believed that he had ceased to think or dream of Lady May. They went to Spain; Daisy's dream of delight was verified. They lingered in fah. Castile and sunny Gran- ada, where it seemed. to her that a aew and more beautiful life began for thole They remained there for more than a yearr. Dailey decided not to return to England. At present all was well; what neght happen if they were once more ou the spot, and Sir Clinton met again with his lost love? Like a wise Wo' man, Daisy knew that prevent:lore wres better than cure—that it was wiser to keep out of temptation, than to strilr gle against it. The present was her were no one could tell what the future miglit be. She tried her best to be a companion to her husband. She read deeply; she thought continually; she listened to the conversations of wise people. She lest no opportunity of impro-ving herself and the result wee, that in the graceful, 'beautiful Lady Adair no one would have recognized simple Daisy Erne. She was greatly edneired. The dark - eyed Spardards especiaily admired the fair, idle like beauty of Sir Clintonfs wife. Whatever city they visited they were eagerly welcomed Inthe first circles. If We Clinton had been inclined ta jealousy he would have beea, most jealousy, for never had fair lady awee courtesies. It was al one to Daety; there was but one face in the whole world for her, and that was the face ef her husband. Wheu they had spent a year ins Spain, Sir Clinton asked her if she would return home. She declined. Not yet—she was loot ready just yet, she told him; and he looked at her half Attendee -MOT - "Do you not trust roe yet, Daisy?* be asked; and site aeswered; "Yes, I trust you; but the truest wis- dom is to slum temptation, not to seek it;" and la his heart he knew that she was right, "'Mere shall we go now, Dalerr ise asked, gently, should like to go to Italy, Caro," abe relied, and to Italy they weer, 311 tereteteneilel ICED SOUPS, a soot -or Fruit Theeriste Glee Seen* NW Xcleas in Seast..aehle leoecis for Rot Weather.

To write Well a man must build the thought up by the body. 1! what the Hanover fruit theorists give out be true, the following fruit soups, taken icy cold or hot according to preference, are good for brain workers and people who must exert themselyes in warm weather. They are given as food and medicine. But the doubter can take them for the sake of variety. Iced Soup of Oranges—Take four oranges, grate the neel in sugar to absorb the essential oil, then pound the sugar in a bowl, and squeeze over it the juice of the fruit and do the same with two lemons, cutting the lemons lengthwise and squeezing the juice over their zest. Reject the seeds and put the pulp and sugar in a porcelain pan, to which you bave added three pints of oola water and let it boil. Dissolve in a oup a tablespoon- ful of Trish moss and add to the orange liquor. Let it reduce by ten minutes boil- ing, strain and cool. Tben put in it a pint of chopped ice, let it stand a few -minutes, add a glass of weite wine (un- less wbito vrine be forbidden as it is not prescribed for all rneu) and eat with bread as any other soup, Raspberry 'Soup with Italian Paste— Take a quart of raspberries with a cup of powdered sugar and mash them finely. Pour over them throe pints of boiling water, stir well and put on to come to the boiling paint. Then add half a oup of vermicelli, winch you have boiled tenaer- ly in a little water separately. Stir and taste if agreeably sweet, and then add the juice of half a lemon and grate the zest into it. Put away to cool, then we it, or not, as you prefer. Apple soup is not due to modern theorists, for it has been a fruit broth for convalescents (in Germany) for cer- tainly half a century; perhaps more. Indeed, by inclepez dent search I find that in the seventeenth century much that -we think due to our age was em- ployed by gentlemen and scbolars, among them George Herbert, the poet and saint. Take four tare, -very good apples, peel and core them, and boil to a thin puree in three pints of water, add the grated rind of a lemon and four tablespoonful; of sugar, a saltspoon of salt, two gills ot Rhine wine. Lastly add three tablespoon§ of sago and cook slowly half an hour. Pineapple puree can be made the same Way, without the lemon rind. Not only Is it an agreeable iced soup, but in win- ter it is given to babies to oure diph- theria. In exaggerated cases the juice only is given. Iced rhubarb is made into a thin puree or thick soup. Some thicken It with a little oatmeal. 13ut oatmeal does not agree with everybody, and makes itself manifest in a faintieg sensation an hour after it is taken. For nee reason some children's dislike of oatmeal should be considered. Iced ourrana jelly is another variety.

TROUT. FARMING. Eatoulot: Trout Not Difficult—Dr, D.U. Barbour, tee Vermont Expert. Yells Etow the Work 15 eerformed. The first thing needed is an unfailing water supply of pure water from a spring If possible.

Fecundation takes place by what is term- ed endosmosis, and is wholly meehanical, as It were. Now take the eggs from the pan and place them in the Watching trough. You may brush them with a feather into t smaller vessel containing water, but avoid all jar or aczoidena Place them so that they will fill the little Kuzma and not lie piled one upqn anoteer, but have the tvough so placed that the water will just run with a slight current, Now every nay or two pick out any eggs that may die and in from 50 to 60 days you will see thousands of baby trout, each true to instmet trying to hide his head until the tails of these little fry remind one of a Bald of waving grain, After awhile the sack (nature's food sup- ply) is absorbed and they rise in the water. Now you will say I must feed them. Don't. just let them alone until they begin to eat each other, then take your trout fry and place them in a re- ceiving pond, which you had previously prepared and in which you are to let them remain. If some wiseacre comes aloeg ana says if fishing were stopped there would be trout enough, tell him that naturally they batoh but three in every thousand, as the fish eat their own eggs as fast as they are deposited by the mother trout. One more thing. Remeniber you have placed your hundred thousand in some tiny brooklet which feeds tbe main stream you wish to stook. These trout 'will not long remain there, for as& trout increases in size be always goes to deeper water, and as he becomes a half -pounder from the mountain stream above to your meadow, don't think he will stay there, for there are larger pools below and he will go there. If you are in a state where a posting lam is in force and yeu put up one, you drive your fishermen to the un - inclosed mountain land, and the result is a hundred t 'warthogs taken that would have beoome three -pounders had they natured. You must have small trout be- fore you oan have large ones. Here in Vermont the people are taxed to stook its streams, support its fish commissioners and then they stand back and look at the posters. Follow the above instructions and you will have in your streams good trout and good fabing.—Dr. C. H. Bar- bour, in Orange Judd Farmer. The Frilled Sheep of Africa.

This is a kind of wild sheep wallah has received its specific name from the lqng mane which covers the fore part of its body. Captured young, it can easily be tamed and trained. The old bucks, how- ever, are very vicious. These animals attain an average height of 87% inches, and the length of the body is from 60 to 65 inches, without measuring the tail. The engraving herewith represents a pair of these sheep living at the Zoological Gardens in Berlin, Germany. It Is not A PAIR OF AFRICAN FRILLED SHEEP. known whether the frilled sheep have had any relation with the domestic ani- mals of Africa. Skeletons of these sheep are found in tne Egyptian museums, and these quadrupeds' are represented in different old Egyptian designs. It seems that these animals have to be considered as tarned, but not as domesticated.-- Arnerican Agriculturist. Remember Last Spring.

Another thlug whieh roust and will be done away with in the near future Is the Wenzel (If I may say so) milk eeaters which let the live steam into the milk. I shall not attempt te teaela you bow to run a separator, but always bear these few things In Replace alt parts immediately when they show the least signs of wear* Do not run your belt too tight nor to loose. Keep your bowls adjusted so the bearings wear in the same places on the spindle.. Change rubber rings quite freQuentlY. Use good oil, See that the step roller bearings, shaft and steel points are not worn and use your level on the ma- chine quite frequently. If these thins are looked atter as they should be and the separator still shakes, you should send it to the factory where It was made and have it rebalanced, as it un- doubtedly has got out Of balance in some way or other. Bear in mind that on a few days' run with your separator out of order you will lose a great deal more money than It Will COUt you for having it, repaired. Next comes the ripening of the cream. "Which is the best way Of do- ing It?' you ;night ask. 1 will answer you honestly. 1 eannot tell you. It depends altegether on the condition of the cream, the time of the season and the facilities you have for changing the temperature. You might ask me if 1. would advise you to use a. starter. Yes, I would ad- vise you to use one if you are familiar with the making of a good starter. If you are not, do not attempt it, because you will fail in improving your goods any, and you are very liable to dam- age them, All of the starters in com- mon use are good ones, both commer- cial and homemade, if they are used as they should be at the time of adding them to the cream, but you are far better off without a starter if you have not the practical and theoretical knowledge which is absolutely neces- sary to make their use a success. The churning process Is so well known that it is hardly necessary to say much in regard to it The most es- sential thing Is the temperature. Do not have your cream too cold, as it will result in loss of fat In buttermilk. The working of the butter is also a very important factor in turning out extras every day. I have found that using a salt, with not too fine a grain in the combined churn is the safest way. The packing' of the butter also requires close attention and should be done immediately after finishing work- ing. Care should be taken in not fill- ing tubs too full before cutting Off on top. Water For carves. In order to determine how much wa- ter the herd of en calves at the Kansas Agricultural college would drink, the water given ' them for a week was weighed and put In a barrel with an attachment for letting it out as fast as needed. In the seven days the 18 calves drank 868 pounds of water, or an aver- age of 8 pounds a day. The weather during this time was warm for the first three days and cool the last four days. In addition the calves got RR average of 14 pounds of skintuailic, besides grain and hay. The calves drank several times a day, not much at a time, but often. I noticed several times that they took only one or two swallows. Oftentimes they would take a few mouthfuls of grain, go and get two or three sups of water, then back to their grain again. Even after their rations of milk they would take a few swallows of water. This expert- ment Shows that calves need water in addition to their milk ration; it also shows that they like it often and not so much at a time. Always see that it is fresh and clean.—.T. A.

Twenty years ago milkmen were greatly bothered by customerswho de- manded the milk from one cow regu- larly. %bey thought this insured a more uniform sample of milk. That , idea is now pretty well exploded. , Herd milk, or the milk of all the cows i thoroughly mixed, is safer and more uniform in the long run than the milk I et any single cow.—Rural New Yorkeat) ews lip
