Two minutes Inter Jim Ls standing by
Sybilla's couch. She is bolding both his
hands in iters, and ttu'ro is something
in her face which tells hint that she
n)enns that he shall kLss her.
"When 1 think -when I think of our
Iasi meeting!" she says hysterically.
"Yes," he says. gasping; "yes, of
course. What a beautiful villa you have
here!"
The ob.ervation is a true one. (hough,
der the moment, he Inas not the least
idea whether it is beautiful or not, as ho
turns his tormented eyes round upon
the delicious litlle court., with its charm-
ing combination of slender twisted mar-
ble collates, of mellow -tinted tiles, of low
plashing fountain. Originally it has
been open, roofless to the oyo and the
breath and the, rains of heaven ; but its
Northern purchaser has covered it in
with glass, and set low divans and lux-
uriantly cushioned bamboo chairs about
its soft -tumbling water.
Sybilla has let fall her hands, and the
expression of the wish fora sisterly em-
brace has disappeared out of her face.
Fol a few moments she remains abso-
lutely silent. Ile looks round anxiously
fe.r (:ovinia. but she has gone to take off
her bonnet, and Mr. Wilson has not yet
come in. Under pretence of examining
the tiles, he walks towards the lovely
little colonnade of horseshoe arches that
form the court, and his uneasy look
rests, scarcely seeing then(, upon the ver-
tical lines of lovely old faience that in-
tersect the whitewash with softest blues
and greens and yellows.
When will Cecilia return? Behind
hire he presently hears the invalid's
wrier, steadied and colleted :
"It Is very beautiful ; and, of cot.rse,
1t Is everything for weary eyes to have
Such pleasant objects to rest upon, I
believe" -with a little laugh -"that we
sick people really lake in most of our
nourishment through tho eyes. Was not

you heard the news was, 'How read of

CHAPTER XXXII'.
Notre Damed'.1b'itiuo-Our Lady o

black ; and the church that is dedicated
le her is ugly loo—new and mock -
!Aeons!' ; but, like many another ugly
lady, being very nobly placed, she h
a great and solemn air. It is Our Indy
of Africa who first gives us our greeting
as we secant in from seawards: it is
to Our Lady of Africa that the fisher
people climb to vespers, and to the
touching orrice That follows, when priests
and acolytes pass out of the church to
the little plateau outside, where. sheer
against the .sky, stands a small LatinLatincross, with a plain, and, as it seems,
celllushaped stone beneath it, on whichwhichone reads the inscription :
"A le ntemoiro de tout ceux, qui ont
peri dans lo mer, et one ore ensevelis
dans ses Rots."
"All those who have perishod in the
sea, and been buried in her waves !"
What a gigantic company to be cov-
ered with one little epitaph

the cliff -tops, overlooking the sea, whose
cruel deeds she Is so agouizedly prayed

church walls arra covered:
'."Mere', oil ma mere."
"1'ai pr•ie, et j'ai ole exaucc."
"Reconnaissance a Marie."
"Reconuaisance a Notre Dame d'Afique."
She docs not look very ktvable, this
coal -black Marie. who stands in her stiff

not tell Cecilia of his intention, as tie
knows that she wou•u offer to aceont-

le:; way through the gay French town,
along its Arab -name( streets, Baba

lage of Si. Eugene, and breasts the wind-
ing road that, with many all elbow and

"1 wish you had a kroking-glass to see

fresh mirth; "does not she look funny,

resentment for his past surline.s as
would be shown by a good dog (1 can-
not put it morn strongly), and yet, as it
seems to Jim, with a certain nervous
deprecation.
The next moment one of them -he
does not know which -has caught sight
nI himself, and the moment after ho is
shaking (lands with all three. it is clear
that the fact of his presence in Algiers
has been notified to Mr. Le Marchant,
for there is no surprise in Itis coldly
civil greeting. He snakes it as short as
possible, and almost et once turns to
continuo Itis circuit of the church, his
wife at his side, and his daughter meek-
ly following. Doubtless they do not wLsh
for his (Jim's) company ; but yet as ho
was originally, and without any refer-
ence to (heat, going in their direction,
it would seem natural that he should
walk along with them.
Ile is hesitating as to whether or no to
adopt this course, when he is decided by
a very slight movement of Elizabeth's
head. She does not actually took over
her shoulder at hint, and yet it seems to
trite as if, were her gesture completed, it
would amount to that ; but It is arrested
by some impulse before it Ls more than
sketched. Such as it is, it sutflces to
take him to her side; and it seems to
him that there is u sort of satisfaction
mingled with the undoubted apprehen-
ston in her face, as she realizes that it
is ao. Her eyes, as she turns them
upon him, have a hungry question in
them, which her lips seem afraid to put.
Apparently ,she cannot get nearer to It
than this ---very tremblingly and hurried -
1/ uttered, with a timid glance at her
fathers back, as if she were delivering
herself of some compminisiug :secret in-
stead of the niere platitude which sh4s so
indistinctly vents:
"A -a --great many things have hap-
pened since -since we last met !"
Iler eye travels for a moment to his

bow raiment, rho crape band has not
yet been removed ; and he understands
that she Ls comprehending his trouble as

sadly; "there are not such a numerous

His thoughts have reverted to his own

how false is the inlprenssien produced by

DETAILS OF DIPPING -I11•:EI'.
Sheep ticks like the Toon, are almost
always present. Where They oome front
is, in a sense, a mystery. l'he flock -
master dips his flock and foe some lima
subsequently it would be difficult to
find any ticks when the work is well
done, but gradually ticks begin to show
themselves and when shearing time
comes round again, the process has to
be repeated. It would trent passible
to se thoroughly eradicate licks that
they would cease to be present. Never-
lheless, such a condition is very seldom
present, if indeed ever.
iI would seem probable that if sheep
were dipped once, and that if the dip -
sing bo clone just after the shearing;
that if the lambs be dipped twice with
an Interval of, say, 10 days between
the lippings, that the licks should be
practically cleaned out. The sheep
should, however, be put in other quar-
ters immediately after lite dipping and
not again allowed to revisit the old
quarters for some weeks subsequently.
Allowing the sheep to go back again
:o their old quarters is largely respon-
sihlo for the reinfestation of the flock,
rend yet it is not easy to wholly prevent
this.
The best dips aro proprietary dips.
Some of these have arsenic as a base.
some have tobacco and some have
other poisonous preperati:,ns. It evould
be safe to say that nearly all of these
are good, but it would not be sate lo
say which aro the best; that is, it
would not be sate for ale to say this,
88 it would probably result in a storm
of protest. The lithe and sulphu, dip is
a cheap preparation and may be com-
pounded and prepared by the owner.
It is also effective, but the evidence is
pretty clear that it does, to sone ex-
tent, injure the wool, except when the
sheep are dipped just after shearing.
On the assumplron that some of the
proprietary dips will be used, the direc-
tions given for using them may i e
safely followed, hence that`noed not be
(welt upon in this paper. Whether the
miter should invest in a galvanized
tank or make a box that is water -light
in which to dip the sheep, will depend
upon the size of the flock and the con-
tinuing of the work. Usually it will
pay 10 invest in a galvanized tank when
the (lock is kept from year to year.
Such a lank is not costly. It is durable
and it may be easily moved if necessary
from place to place. It is always ad-
visable to provide a dripping board in
connection with the lank that will carry
the drip back from the sheep to the
lank. They should be held on this for
n short time while the drip is squeezed
cut of the wool.
Of course in large flocks the arrange-
ments are more elaborate. A bong and
narrow trough is made through which
the sheep are forced to swim from end
l.).:end. When they get to the farther
end they should be held for a short
limo on a ()Inform that will carry the
drip back again to the lank.
Unless it is known That 1;. ks are pre-
sent, sleep should be dipped every
spring just after they are shorn. If
they have any ticks in the fall, when
going into winter quarters, they should
e dipped again, as the licks will mul-
tiply rapidly through the winter and
may prove a source of much loss in the
condition of the sheep. If the sheet'
could be dipped once just after shearing
and the lambs twice, as outlined above,
and the whole flock then removed for
a time to other quarters, the expecte-
hem could be cherished that all the
ticks would he removed. Has any ono
ever accomplished this?
THE SI'!IING AIG.
The profllable pig, in the estimation
of many farriers, is the spring pig,
writes M. I1. E. Golly. • The earlier he
comes Ilse earlier he can be marketed
and the quirker you can gel your re-
turns. The early pig, however, de-
mands secrial attention. because Ike
little fellows are susceptible to sudden
changes, and the weather al this time
is variable. In order to have the sows
produce strong, healthy liners, I give
Ihetn special care for some nine before

WHEN AI:Cl1fl I S HAPPEN.
More Frequent as the Week and the pay
Adsatce, French Observers Say.
French statisticians are making a cares
tun investigation of industrial accidents'
with a view to determining whether
there is any relation between (!rein and
tttu condition of tate workers in respect
to fatigue. With this idea in view they
have mule tabulations bpsed both on the
days of the week and the hours of the
working day.
Almost everywhere, it is announced,
accidents incidental to work increase as
the week adranzes from Sunday. the in-
dustrial day of rest. For instance, in
the Renault chemical works there were
during a period of observation 44 ncri-
dents on Monday, 40 on Tuesday, 47 on
Wednesday, 57 on Thursday, 52 on Fri-
day and 64 on Saturday.
Agnin, in Ilelgimrn, these figures were
obtained : Monday. 367 accidents; Tues-
day, 385; Wednesday, 410; Thursday,
425; Friday, 420, and Saturday, 435.
From all the indications the deduction
is made That as the time gels • further
from the complete days rest the Amen be-
come less sure and accidents multiply.
The curious drop in the Friday figures
is general and it puzzles the theorists,
no explanation that will hold water be-
ing found for it.
Il seems to be established alai That
liability to accident increases will) the
hours of work. The Berlin Institute of
Insurance finds that on the average only
2", per cent. of industrial accidents occur
in the forenoon to 72 per cent. in the bal-
ance of the working day, and even in
the forenoon only 2 per cent. happen be-
tween 6 and 7 o'clock to 10 between 10
and 11.
In nine Industrial departments of
Prance 5,531 accidents were noted. T
were distributed as follows :

The midday dmp s due of course to
the lunch hour; that of 6 and 7 P. M.
to the comparatively small number of
sten who are then at work. The small
figure for 1 o'clock is al least in some
degree attributable to the effects of the
noon net. The whole array of figures
is interpreted as showing that accidents
are in a very large degree due to men-
tal if not to physical fatigue.
