The visitors began to arrive, and the garden -party proceeded very much like similar gatherings. Belturbet was an ex- cellent host, and won golden opinions from every one.

Primrose and 13e1turbet were not yet to be seen, for the latter had purposely dawdled until Dulole and Heriott •were alit of sight. Primrose walked quietly at her companion's side, Her pulses had quick- ened a little as she saw him deliberately manoeuvre to walk with her, brit she had caught sight of Dulcio's face for one mo- ment, and knew that her sister was an- noyed. Primrose rebelled, Why should Dukes have everything her own Way? Surely she ought not to grudge her sister quarter of hour of : her host's society?, Belturbet made a remark on the beauty of the night, to which she replied natur- ally, but not at mueh. length, and.couver cation seemed to languish between them until he made n resolute attack, telling himself he would not let this girl puzzle hien any longer, "Thanks to you and your. sister, I have been able to give my gueste, the Heriott , some tennis," he remarked. -They -would have had a very dull time if you had not been kind enough to come to their rescue.'

"Dul. cis and T have always admired it—we used to say it was our ideal English country house." "That was how I felt about it when, first I saw it. But it is too big for me." Primrose was silent, but the thought flashed through her mind: "What a pity Dulcie is not here? She would have been able to suggest,to -him a plan' by which. he need not be bluely any longer!"

In spite of her dress' and distinguishedpp ence,'she had not enjoyed the garden - party she was left in the least, and now alalic while those two minxes sauntered off with Belturbet and her brother!

"Besides, ho hasn't a penny. Now, Prim, don't be dist agreeable, but tell me what you and Mr. Belturbet talked about?"

Dulcie looked thoughtful: "He is going to ask the Heriotte to travel with him because it is .lonely at Old House," she murmured. Won't. Phil - i is rejoice! Well, good night, Primrose. I am tired.

The particular type of soil does r ALLIANCES OF A CENTURY. Political Exigencies Rave Caused Manly Changes in Europe. light infertile soils should be avoid- ed,. Farmers on light sandy soils should sped on their best land and may need -bo take some special paeans of building up the fertility of the soil. Farmers in the better agricultural sections should seed on their higher land because this land is most in need of improve- ment; because the alfalfa as a rule is productive on high land and be cause the soil most productive with corn and other crops is left for the growing of these crops. Alfalfa should not' be seeded after arases sod, hut may follow .a ou1ti- g vated or small grain crop. The pre- paration of the seed bed should be thorough and extend over a period of several weeks, so as to secure a firm and finely pulveriz e,d seed bed in whichthe weeds and weed seeds - have been as completely eradicated as possible. The presence of nitrogen • fixing bacteria is of utmost importance in the growing of alfalfa. Boththe soil and pure culture methods of inoculation have given good results and one or both should 'always be used whenever .alfalfa is tieing seed- ed for the first time in afield. The use of a nurse crop isnot ad- visable except on fields that are apt to blow or wash and on seed. beds that are poorly prepared and ars apt to become weedy. The use of manure in 'seeding al- falfa is advisable if applied some time before seeding or after the al- falfa has come up and made some little growth. It is not advisable to turn under a heavy application. in- a quickly prepared seed bed as this -bends to hold up the soil and, allow it to dry out, or to.apply'its a top dressing shortly before seed- ing, because of the introduction of weed seeds, In the history of Europe during the past 'century nothing is more curious than the easy way in which national alliances have been made, broken, made againn and changed as dynastic, economic and racial rea- sons have demanded. Here are a few of these political transforms,- tions In 1815 Russia, Prussia, England' and Austria combined against France and crushed the power of Napoleon for ever. In 1849, when revolution in Hun- gary threatened the house of Haps- burg in Austria, Russia intervened and by force of arms placed the present 'Emperor Francis Joseph firmly upon his throne, In 1855-6 England, France, .A,us- brie, and Italy rallied themselves with the • Turks :against Russia in the Crimean war.

Death to Poultry in Salt. An instance is told of a woman who had by 'mistake put salt into a cake instead of sugar. She thought there was no danger in throwing this out to the poultry. but it caus- ed the death of every bird she pos- sessed. 5 This does not mean -a slight por- tion of salt, such as may occurin r • breadmaking,' would produce seri- ous injury. If salt is thus deadly to poultry, the question may "arise, may it not be injurious to man when used excessively. Salt eating is us- ually a habit. Many people eat salt to excess. Just what effect salt eat- ing in excess may have upon the human system is not fully known;, It is not impossible,• it :.may . have something to do : with cancerous growths and other dreaded diseases.
