Miss Mivvins was very full of thought of the man who had left her ; he was full to the point of aver -brimming of thought of her. They were soulful thoughts, which lasted them both till sleep closed 1 hn windows of their souls. In the case of the man the eye- lids remained wide open till the giey dawn flashed rosily before the rising sun. Even then he dreamt: of her.

Like all other kinds of business, poultry keeping without proper su- pervision, will not pay ; neither will any other business that 1 am ac- quainted with. Under an efficient system of management, however, poultry farming can be made to yield very satisfactory profits. No ono should attempt to keep poultry with a view of profits and the rearing of a large number, who is not prepared to bestow a consid- erable amount of caro and atten- tion upon the charge he is under- taking. By a system of thorough routine, the necessary trouble and pains necessary in properly caring for poultry become simplified. The ESKIMO GAM ES. Pastimes of Children on (he Shores of Bering Sea.

Milk is the foun- dation of all cheese, but the super- structure may bo made of anything frc.m sage to soapstsne, depending upon the whim of the cheese buil- der and the taste of the consumer. Cheese making is one of the old- est arts, or trades or habits, un- der whichever classification. It was an article of diet back in the hazy times of history, and has never lost out with changing fashions. It is found in the plains of South Africa, on the shores of the Mediterran- ean, in the passes of the Alps, on the banks of the Rhine and the Rhone, on the steppes of Eiberia, and in the cottages of the pea- sants, in the palaces of princes, and on lunch counters of the civil- ized and serni-eivilered world. Age does not wither nor custom stale the infinite variety of cheese. There are cheeses in existence and grow- ing stronger every day that are older than any existing Govern- ment. One particular cheese is mentioned as being over two hun• dred years old, and reflecting great credit on the family that possesses it. Over in Switzerland they have a pleasant custom of making a cheese at the birth of a child and eating it, at his funeral feast or at the funeral of his son or grandson.

One cow that made a very poor record as a three-year-old, by high feeding was brought to ten pounds of butter a week at five years old and later to twelve poun•is a week, and was fattened in her nineteenth year and gave milk enough to pay for her feed while being fattened.

A case was recently brought to my notice in which a woman had sought to improve her eyes by the constant use of belladonna, which she dropped into them in order to enlarge their pupils. She is now a woman of forty --with. presuniab- ly, many years of life before her -- and is totally blind. It has been said that the instinct for martyrdom is innate in the fair sex. Certainly many modern so- ciety women, if personal suffering in the quest for beauty could qua- lify for canonization, have well earned the patronymic of hint. ed the money and confronted Trim with the marks on the notes.

A letter purporting to he signed by Count Julius Andrassy led to the belief that several prominent persons were implicated in the Latkoczy affair.
