He came down the hill through the mists at even, a long, low, !frey shadow, gliding mysteriuesly through the deepening gloom. He eemed altogether out of place in nglish scenery, nd the mists dis- oeiat:.d Hhtri waalsnisott,eovetxli,e as, ibzaedogfera a At the bottom of the hill be sud- denly met semething coining up out eL the woodland ditch, mid for an ungainly beast his spring was mighty quick. The big paw — yoe eouid see the long claws gleam like sWel knives ie the new moonlight -- scooped out and round—whoosh l Then he leapt haek a elear yard, and swore openly, and danced an Uncanny dance of sheer rage, hold- ing op the while the paw that had streek, It was blood-stained. As for the foe, he was a hedge -hog, and in his fighting pose—that is to cay, curled up carefully—was about as assailable as a porcupine. The badger removed to discover root a of a certain lily to his liking, and on these he fed in the still dark among the great columned aisles a tree-bao, where the heavy sent of welecitend flowers hung, on the air like inceese, and nomelees beasts eame and wept, rustling like ghosts over tno leaves. Then a rabbit equealed, and the badger flung up his pig -like snout. It wOrked, Be picked up the scent and with head Qut, and everY verY hiistly bristle ereet, began to fol- low it tip. it led to an open space washed with rooenlight, and a very young rabbit, wine had jest died suddenly. Something round and uncouth was beside the rabbit, and thie time the badger's wing was not too slow. He scooped that hedgehog over, and slew iiiro quick.. ly. Thereafter he feel. PaSsing then from the weocl, he struck a rustling cornfield, where the rabbits had their innumerable innes, anti the cornerakes raspjed their exasperating note eternally. Here also he fed, but en eon) this timet and, met eontent, finest needs roll Am what he could not eat, to the horror et the partridges, troub- led for their nests, and the holviKial of a hare erith leVerets, who rush- ed upon him with quite unliare- like gruntisg. and etruelt him in the chest, SO that he ran away from sheer amazement, So, digging out a bailing wasps' nest with splendid unconcern, and feednig on the grub e therein, home he went over the downs n full half- hour before the first star had paled ' in the Caq. The nightjars were still ehewin Ukcfishing-reele, and the bale pip'pstrelle bats taltieg their many (leen-flight, as he stole down to his den in :the black and serried pine- wood. The den—called a 'I 'looked like the beginnings of mine- It was in a sand -pit, a col- lection, not of holes merely, but of caverns, in -which others besides badgers found a home. Ten..minutes later his wife, fob.' lowed by her four small young— string of grey shadows in the gloom—eame down and went to ground in another chamber. Came then a pause, (luring which a lark euddenly shot up singing, though it was still dark. Then a longer, lower, blacker zhadow slid out of the night, and vanished in a smaller holt. He was a polecat, last of his kind in those parts—a brigand with a character that would not even stand the faint light of dawn. Again a pause, whilst lark after lark took up the strange, unearthly chorus, A faint thinning of the gloom be- came apparent; trees stood out; shadows receded,a, and stoat, snaky arid alert, galloped clown to the earthworks and vanished. Lat- er, just as the first thrush struck up his song, the stoat's wife and her string of young followed. Swiftly marched the light over the trees, and bird after bird threw itself into the now swelling, throb- bing chorus rising voluminously to meet the sun. Then—red, lean, and grinning—there trotted down to the great holes the latest of the rob- bers the old dog -fox. He paused at the mouth of the dirtiest hole of all—as the badger's were the clean- est—gave an insolent, swaggering whisk to his tail, and dived below. It was day. BABY'S OWN TABLETS ORE SUMMER 001PLAINT Baby's Own Tablets should be kept in every home where there are babies or young children. At no time of the year ' is baby in such danger as in -summer. At the first sign of illness the Tablets should be given to the little one, for sem- i -leer complaints come ion so quickly thee unless prompt aid is at hand baby may be beyond help in a few hours. The Tablets never fail to relieve the sick child and if occa- sionally given to the well child will keep him well. Mrs. Desire ,Mar- tin, St. Denis, Que., writes: "I have a laahy three months old who ;guttered from colic and cconst.ipa,- tien.

AD HABITS IN THE OFFICE Perferin Toilet in Pablie is Evidence of Ignorance., Miss O'Malley took out her piece of chamois skin and gave her face a thoreogh going over with it. Then she extracted from her handbag an eyebrow pencil and, smoothed out her eyebrows', When she had satis' fled herself by a minute inspection in a small hand glass as to the I p- pearance of her face, she opened the drawer of her desk, took from the hack compartment a full set of manicure utensils, and proceeded to maniettre he e nails with the ut- most insouciance, All this she did before she even began to "go through the motions" of working. The coming in unexpeet ns - edly early, noted her toilet opera- tioand frowee,d a little, He ob- viously didn't like it, but felt help- less about coping, with the situa- tion. Miss O'Malley blushed just a tri- fle when she saw that he was look - 'ng at ber, but shrugged her shoui- ders and remarked to herself that it he didn't like it he knew what he eould do, It is quite surprising, all things considered, the number a girls who need to he told that they ionsid avoid giving the offices in -which they work the appearenee of beauty parlere.

HINTS FOR THE HOME. A kitchen goldee rule is to clean as you go, and so save unnecessary labor arid fatigue. Paste for paperhanging should have a teaspoonful of powdered alum added to every pound ef Roar, Before using a new saucepan boil it well out with sudawater to which a few Potato parings have been added. When roasting potatoes ueder the meat, they should firet be parboil- ed, and then lighVysprinkled with eparse salt before serving.

To Make Buttered Toast.—Toast the bread before a brisk fire, slight- ly meisten with hot milk or water, the butter. Toast made in this way is very tasty, and requires a less quaet:ty of butter than in the ordinary way.

In France bread has been made without flour in a machine that transforms the wheat directly into dough. This machine shows a large screw turning loosely in a case on the inner surface of which is a screw thread running in an oppos- ite direaion. Between the main threads on the cylinder are smaller threads and the depth of the groove becomes progressively srpaller from one end to the other„so that it will hold the entire wheat grain as it enters the machine at the same time aceom- naodating • only the pulverized vheat at the exit. i The wheat s prepared by a thor- ough. washing, after which opera - ion, says Harper's Weekly, about a pint of tepidwater to a pound of grain is added, the whok mixture. being allowed to stand some six hours. l'hen the grains of wheat have swollen to twice their ordin- ' ary size. • The mixture is then treated with yeast and salt and is poured into the machine. -It falls between the threads of the moving screw and of the fixed contrary screw, which simultaneously crush the envelope and body of the grain, making of them ahornogeneous mixtere that forms a smooth Paste. Bread made by this process con ains a succession of holes whose ize increases as they approach the rust, which is thin. The odor giv- e off is said te be especially agree- ble. No use to buy pure bred sheep if hey ,are to be allowed to starve rid rustle around for themselves. A scrub will do better under such ()editions. Never buy a ram whose wool is eanty on the belly and legs. He hould be well covered and the eece should be uniform. In selecting 'ram always pick ut one that stands square on his g -s, shows courage and •masculin- y. A slow, poky animal will prove disappointment.
