Meanwhile Bill Green had reached the

quickly as IW could go thwarts the near-

leaving the way clear for hill.

her, and hear her tale. Surely you none

Lady Larkin looked serious.
"Hardly," site replied; "and yet Eileen's
tale is so strange! What was Sunbeam
doing with all our jewellery? Also we
know That the child's history is pecu-
liar, that her idea of right and wrong
may not tally with our own. it is hard to
believe that she had anything to do with
the theft, and yet we have the proof -
from vital Eileen says."
The others, who already in that short
time since their return had heard the

Was she the only one who would
believe in the child and uphold her?
The sorrow at her great loss -for the
pearls were indeed valuable -was for-
gotten in her sorrow for Sunbeam. She
knew that, beneath suspicion, even with
lie'• belief in her, the girl would droop
like a dying Ik,wer.
At that moment her gaze fell on Dun-
can. who had just entered the room and
story( silently contemplating the feces
before Trim. Iter heart bounded with re-
lief. Duncan was Suuheatu's friend. He
wc•uld help to (Icer her name. But as
she opened her tips to call hitt to her

"I cannot believe this ridiculous story,

Eileen colored vividly and dropped her

"1 nil afraid 1 cannot," she ,hurrahed.
"Why not?" he demanded in tone of

ordeal would be too great for her -or
you would not refuse to allow her to

CA[(E 01? SHEEP AND LAMBS.
Many farmers give their sheep no
more cure from shearing lithe until the
ground is covered t%air show than to
give therm a lit:le salt once a week,
usually on Sunday morning and to dis-
pose of such lambs as they wish to sell,
and perhaps a few of the oldest sheep
in the full. 'I'Ley may very often be
left for a week and be no worse for it,
1•111 they will do better if they are look-
ed alter more !r•equantly, and this is
one of the advantages of :he method of

GAiIDENS 01' EDEN.
(fly A. Banker).
In the poorer dist( iat of a grent city
is a small public garden surrounded
by squalid, uncared for tenements, and
presenting a Truly melancholy and
lugubrius picture. lnstea.l of brilliant
flower beds and wen cored for gravelled
walks, a few begrimed and sooty ever-
greens, here and there a dilapidated
vaso containing a dead plant, and a
few seats, rickety and unclean, create
an impression of profound gloom and
depression. But not on a11, for at the
further end of the garden a young
couple are walking to and ha. hand
In about two weeks most of these
pests will have found a refuge in the
longer wool of the lambs, and if they
are dipped then, but a few will be i'fl
to trouble them the next winter. ...e
old formula for a sheep dip used to to
to steep irom live to seven pounds of
plug tobacco, or twice that quantity of
stents, according to the size of the
lambs, in water enough to dip one
hundred Iambs.
In dipping keep the mouth r.nd nos-
trils out of water, but immerse every
part, even wetting the head. As they
are taken from the Trough squeeze the
wool as dry as possible before lotting
them go, and let the water thus pressed
run back 10 the trough. There are now
several patent sheep dips on The mar-
ket, sold by the gallon with directions
for using and those who have tried
them say they are quite c.s effectual as
the tobacco solution, and much less
trouble.
While shearing is the time to select
such as are too old to keep another
year, and those that do not prove
profitable in lambs or wool, and mark
them to be separated from the others
m the fall so that by a little extra grain
feeding they may be sold as mutton.
Al (ho same time select enough of
the Ie"t Iambs to keep the (lock good
0 • increase it, if a larger flock is de-
sirable. Do not for an extra dollar or
two sell the best lambs and keep those
that the butcher rejects, as to do so will
be a certain way to make on inferior
flock.
Sheep need water every dny as much
as other animals, and although the
dew-Iuden grass may quench their thirst
in the morning, if water is given them
and is clean, they will drink many
times on a hot day and thrive better
kr it. They like to nibble at many
kinds of bushes and will do good ser-
vice in killing them out in the postures,
but that Is not a good reason for lim-
iting 'heir diet to bushes. Good grass
In summer and good hay with roots
or ensilage in winter should be their
fcoJ in sufficient qunntily to keep Them
in good condition at all seasons.
BREEDING AND FEEDING.
it the rain runs with the ewes In
summer he should be sepnralcd from
them in the early fall and given a lit-
tle extra grain feed. A handful or half
pint of oats twice a day should be
enough to keep him strong and vigor-
ous. Let him run with the ewes about
an hour in the morning early. Sten
treatment will result in stronger and
more vigorous lambs than would be
dropped if he ran with the ewes all
the time, even 11 the flock is a small
one.

that they dropped lambs when but n

au so with grade Merinos, but 1 never
think it a mistake and likely to result
in Iambs smalk'r and slower in growth
than those from older ewes, which it
kept and bred from will tend to a sure
reduction in the average slzc of the
sheep and corresponding decrease in
weight of IkCCes. Certainly 1 would

which glistens in their eyes, they have
plighted the:r troth each to the outer,
and are indulging in glad anticipations
of happiness and of joy. Truly this
place is to these a Garden of Eden, a
very Paradise.
And there are other of these earthly
cases, (hese Gardens of Eden; some so
alluring from their inherent beauties;
some from their associations and me-
mories. There are, fur instance, the
gardens of the seas, such as tnay :o
well be seen on a quiet day through
the transparent waters of the lovely
tortuous channels flowing amidst the
Scilly Islands. Here, perhaps, a fine
specimen of the peacock's tail, its fring-
es' filaments reflecting all the colors of
the rainbow; hero an undulating copse
el the graceful pink or purplish feather
plant, its delicate plunges gently wav-
ing to and fro as the oars disturb the
clear waters; or here, its enormous
Lulb firmly or
to a rock, a great
plant of Ute "Sea -furbelows," its out-
spread fronds perhaps as much ns
twelve feet in diameter. And now the
boat passes over a veritable (tower
garden. Beautiful sea-anernones of
many hues spreading their tentacles in
search of prey; clumps and tufts of the
graceful cerat!itte; numerous varieties
et small feathery sea -plants of many
colors -pink and scarlet, and while,
and light olive green; w•ilh, perhaps,
here and (here a speci►nen of the strik-
ing sea -fait, or its still stranger con-
gener the sea -pen; whilst amidst all
this labyrinth of beauty from lime to
lime bright silvery fish of various kinds
flush by, or hover in search of an un-
wary shrimp or prawn. Aye, to the
lever of the beautiful in nature this fs
truly a paradise.
But there is one garden of surly in-
finitely greater interest than any other
spot on earth. "For t1 the place where
Ile was crucified there was a garden,
and in the garden a new tomb." And
this "Garden Tomb,' situate at the foot
of the reputed 11111 of Calvary outside
the walls of Jerusalem, is now believed
by very many to be the actual sepulchre
wherein was lai.l the sacred Body of
the Saviour of the world, after, on the
adjoining Golgotha, making expiation
fo• the sins of all who sill but appro.
pride to themselves the benefit of litnt
great sncrllce. And lnppily this ever
hallowed site is now vested In British
hands; the Trust deed providing that
11 "be kept 118 a quiet spol, and preserv-
ed on the one hand f►'on1 desecration,
and on the other hand from supersti-
tious uses."
