'No quivering leaf nor threatening sound stirred the quiet. He subsided at her feet after a moment, but his ears, kept pricked, tvrithhed uneasily; his eyes never left the edge of the trees. Onc.e they twisted. up to her and she read. in them the clear expression of a pitiful imeasiness, the assura.nce of deathless fidelity, a prayer almost to go into the house. She picked up the child and walked_ towards the hut.' The dog followed, glancing uneasily towards the edge of the clearing. She shut the door on that side of the hut and went to the back door. "Jo! So!" she called long and clearly. He flew round to her. Though her limbs trembled, Mary went up to the paddock and brought the cow clown to the shed. She milked, with Davey on her knees and the clOg eraucheal 'beside her; then, with the aerle-asii. one arm and the milk pail on. the other, she went towards the house again. , She did not go down to the creek far water, as she usually. did. , "It's nese' because I'm afraid, Davey," she murmured, "but Jo would not have barked like that for nothing. It vas a warning, and it would not be nice of us to take no notice of.hirn at all." As she left the shed the dog darted savagely away. She did not notice that he was nos longer at her heels until she had re-entered the hut. As she was going to call him, the words died on her lips. Two gaunt and rag- ged raen stood in the doorway! singing with Davey on his shawl be- side her, he started to his feet sud- denly and snarled fiercely. she was unconscious of the world about her, or the flight of the day, but when her work was done and she stood in the doorway at noon, the silence struck her again. All the long day there was a faint haun ai insects in the air. It came from the grass, from the trees—the long tasselled branches of downy honey - sweet, white blossoms that hung from • them. Yet this ceaseless chairing of ' insects, the leafy murmuring of the trees, twittering of birds in the brush- wood, the murmuring of the wind in distant valleys, the intermittent croon- ing and drone of the creek—all the taint, sweet, earth voices dropped into the great quiet that brooded over the place as they might have into a nays- teeiorts ocean that absorbed and ob- literated all sounds. The bright hours were rent by the momentary screeeh- ing end chatter of parroquets, as they flew, spreading the red, green and v, ellow of their breasts against the blue sky. At sunset and dawn there were merry melodious flutings, long, sweet, mating -mils, carollings and bursts of husky, gnomish laughter. • Yet the silence remained, hovering and swallowing insatiably- every sound.

The process of cold -pack: canning has been given so many tines that it does not seem necessary to repeat it here. Remember to blanch greens with steam; do not dip in boiling water. This they be done by suspend- ing the cheesecloth like a 'hammock over the water in the canner. If asparagus, beans, peas, and corn are allowed to stand too long before canning, a sour taste often develops. They should be canned as soon as picked. Never let more than two or three hours elapse before canning. I think it is worth while to try to re-. move such a growtk of, hair with drugs. I have often wondered what objection there Can be against shaving in such a case. It is true that shaving will make the hair firmer and stronger, but, even so, it is seldom indeed that hair growing on a woman's face is as aggressive as the softest type of beard in a man, and the man with a mild beard can easily keep his face clean by applying the safety razor daily.
