The three were out at the dour in an instant. On came the engine, the horses' feet and the wheels crashing harshly in the enent night. They came round the corner with a sharp swing. ittler the driver had become care- less, or he was very sleepy that night, for he dashed against an iron post that Stood at the corner, and carried off two wheels. The engine went full thirty yards on the two of -wheels, before it came to the ground, which it did at last with a terrible crash, throwing the firemen violeutly to the ground, The eob-ongineer and Fred and Willie sprang forward in great alarm, but the most of the men leaped up at once, and one or two of them laughed, as if to show that they had got no damage. But one of them lay extended on the pavement. It needed not a second glance to tell that it was Frank Winders. "Laft hira gently, la.ds," said Dale, who was himself severely bruised. "Stop," exclaimed Frank in a law voice; "I've got no harm except to my lett leg. It's broken, I think. There's no use tef lifting me till you get a cab. I'll go straight home, if---" He fainted as he spoke. "Run for a cab, Willie," said Fred Auberly. Willie was off in a moment. At the same instant a messenger was dis- patched for Dr. Olney, and in a short zime after that, Frank Win- ders was lying on his mother's sofa with his left leg broken below the knee. CHAPTER XXIII. With a very stiff cravat, and a painfully stiff aspect, Mr. James Auberly sat by the side of a couch and nursed his sick child. Mr. Auberly 'performed the duties of a nurse awkwardly enough, not being accustomed to such work, but he did them with care and with an evident effort to please, which made a deep impression on the child's heart. "Dear papa," she said, "I want you to do me a favor." "I will do it, dear," said the stiff man, bending morally as well as physically. "I will do it, dear, if I can, and if the request be reason- . able." "Oh then, do forgive Fred, and let him be an artist !" cried Loo, eag- erly stretching out one of her thin hands. "Hush, cltu-ling," said Mr. Auberly with a look of distress; "you must not excite yourself so. I have for- given Fred long ago, and he has be- come an artist in spite of my ob- jections." "Yes, but let him come home, I mean, and be happy with us again as he -used to be, and go to the office with you," said Loo. "Oen you not ask some favor, such as I could grant ?" said Mr. Auberly, with a smile, 'which was not nearly so grim as it used to be before the 'lire.. Loo meditated some time before replying. "Oh, yes," she exclaimed suddenly, "I have another favor to ask. How stupid of inc to forget it I I want you very much to go and see a. fairy that lives—" "A fairy, Loo I" said Mie. Auner- ly, while a shade of anxiety crossed his face. "You—you are rather weak just now; I must make you be quiet, and try to sleep if you talk nonsense, dear." "It's not nonsen.cee't said Loo, "it's quite true, papa," she contin- ued energetically; "it Is a fairy I want you to go and see—she's a pantomime fairy, and lives some- where near London Bridge, and she's been very ill, and is so poor that they say She's dying for want of good food," "Who told you about her, LOC, ?" "White 'Winders," she replied; "he has been to see her and her father the clown a good many times." "Do go to see her, pray, •dear papa," Pleaded Loo with much earnestness, "and give her eome money. You know that darling mamma said, just before she was taken away" (the poor child persistently refused to use the expression "when she died"), "she wanted you to take me some- times to see poor peoplewhen they were sick, and I've often thought of that since—especially when I have come to tho verse in my Bible which tells me to 4consider the poor,' and I have often—oh, so very often— longed to go, but yet were always so busy, dear papa. that you never had tittle, you ow (the stiff man winced a little at this); "but you seern to have more time now, papa, and. although I'm too weak to go with you, I thought I would ask you to go to see this poor fairy, and tell her I will go to see her some day—if—if God makes me strong again." Mr. Auberly had covered his face with his hand, and leant his elbow on the head of the couch, Looking up quickly with a smile—still tinged with grimness, for evil habits and their results are not to be got rid of in a day—he said— "Well, Loco, I will go to see this fairy if it will please you; but some- where near London Bridge is not a very definite address." "Oh, but Willie Winders knows it," said Loo. "But where is Willie Winders ?" objected her father. "Perhaps at home; perhaps at Mr. Tippet's place." "Well we shall soon find out," said Mr. Auberly, risieg and ringing the bell. Hopkins answered the summons, "Stiff, thin, tall, sedate, powdered, superfine Hopkins, how different from the personage we saw but lately plunging like a 'email= at the fire - bell Could it have beea thee, Hopkins? Is it possible that any- thing so spruce, dignified, almost stately, could have fallen so very low? We fear it is too true, for human nature not unfrequently fur- nishes instances of tremendous con- trast, just as material nature some- tirees furnishes the spectacle of the serene summer sky being ingulfed in the black thunderstorm ! "Hopkins," said Mr. Auberly, handing him a slip of paper, "go to this address and ask for the boy WilUaniIVellders; if he is there, bring him here immediately; if not, find out where he is, search for hirn and bring him here without delay. Take a cab." Hopkine folded the paper delicate- ly. Hailing a cab with the air of six emperors rolled into one, Hopkins drove to Mr. Tippet's residence, where ho learned that Vi1lie gone home, so he followed him up, and soon found .himself at Notting - hill, before the door of Mrs. Winder's humble ibode. The door was open- ed by W'lli. hinisaif, who stared in some surprise at the stately visitor. "Is William Winders at 'cane ?" quid Et»kins "I rather think be is," replied Wil- lie, with a grin; "who shall I say calls on him—eb. ? You better send up your card." Hopkins frowned, but, being a good-natured man, he immediately smiled, and said he would walk in. "I think," said 'Willie, interposing his small person in the way, "that youed as well stop where you are, for there's 'a in.valid in the drawing - room, and all the other rooms is en- gaged 'cept the kitchen, which, of course, I could not show you into. Cooldn't you deliver your message? I could manage to carry it if it ain't too heavy." In a state of uncertainty as to how far this was consistent with his dignity, Hopkins hesitated for a moment, but at length delivered his message, with which Willie re- turned to the parlor. Two Severe Cases Which Illustrate -the Extrao rain ary Soothing, Healing Virtt,ses of CHASE'S OINTMENT. Scores of people ,do not think of trying Dr. Chase's Ointment for bleeding piles because they have us- ed so many other treatments in vain and do not believe their ailment, curable. It is by curing when others fail that Dr, Chase's Ointment has won sueh a record for itself. It will not fail to promptly relieve and completely cure any forni of piles, no matter bow severe or of how long standing. • Mr. James Uriah Pye, Marie Jos- eph, Guysborough Co., NS,, writes : "I was bad with blooding piles for about four years and co•old get no help. Dr, Chase's Ointment mired me in a very short time, au.d can- not praise it too highly for this cure. Mr*, Thomas Smith was troubled unith erysipelas in the feet and legs and Was all swollen up. I gave her some of the ointment, Which took out the swelling and healed all the Sores. She 'glad t,eied many treatments before, but none seemed to •do her any good, 1 am telling my friends about the won.der- ful cures which Dr. Chase's Oint- ment inade for Mrs, Smith and my- se/f, and would say that it is only a pleaeure for me to recommend so excellent a preparation." Wherever there is irritation, in- flammation, ulceration or itching of the &kin Dr, Che.se's Ointment will bring quick relief and will ultimately heal and cure. On this account it is useful in scores of .ways in every home for the cure of eczetna, salt rheurn„ tatter, scald head, chafing, itching peculiar to women, pin worms, piles and an sorts of ekin disea.ses and eruptions.

Mrs. Willders, with stocking and knitting wires in her hands, sat on a, chair at the head of the bed,. looking an- xious, but hopeful and mild, "Ify good said the lady, "I assure you it grieves me to the heart to see you lying in this state, and I'm quite sure it grieves Emma, too, and all your friends, When I think of the risks you run and the way you dash up these dreadful fire—fire —things—what-d'ye-callums. What do you oall them.?" "Fire escapes, ma'am," answered Frank with a smile. fire -escapes (hew you ever come down them alive is a mystery to me, I'm sure I) But, as I was saying, it makes one shudder to think of; and—and—how does your 'leg feel now ?" said Miss Tippet, for- getting what she had intended to say. "Pretty well," replied Prank; "the doctor tells me it has broken with- out splintering, and that I'll be all right in a few weeks, and fit for duty again. "Fit for duty, young man I" ex- claimed Mies Tippet; "do you moan to say that you will return to your dreadful profession when you recov- er? Have you not received warn- ing enough ?',- "Why, madam," said Prank, some one must look after the fires, you know, else London would be in ashes in a few months; and I like the work." "Like the work I" cried Miss Tip- pet, in amazement; like to be al- most smoked to death, and burned alive,. and tumbled off roofs, and get upset off what's -its -names, and fall down fire—fire—things, and break all your logs and arm,s !" "Well—no I don't like all that," said Frank', laughing; "but I like the vigor and energy that are called forth in the work, and I like the object of the work, which is to save life and property.—"Why," exclaimed Frank enthusiastically, "it has all the danger and excitement of a sold- ier's life without the bloody work, and with better ends in view." "Nay, nay, Frank," said the peace- ful Mrs. Winders, ”you must not not say 'better ends,' because it is a great glorious thing to defend one's nativo ianci. "A very just observation," said Miss Tippet, nodding approval. "Why, mother, who would have ex- pected to hear you standing tip for the red -coats in this fashion ?" said Frank ! "I stand up for the blue -jackets, too," observed Mrs. Winders, meek- ly; ”they fight for their country as well." "True, mother," rejoined Frank; "but I did not refer to ultimate ends I I only thought of the immediate re - !sults in connection with those en - 'gaged. The warrior fights, and, in so doing, destroys life and property. The fireman fights, and in doing so protects and preserves both." "I -Tear ! hear I" interrupted Willie; "but the copy -book says 'Compari- sons are odiows !" don't it ? Moth- er, here's a fathom and two inches or so of humanity as wants inc to go with him to Mr. Auberly. s'pose Frank can get along without me for a little while—eh ?" "Certainly, my son; why does he want you ?" "Don't know. Pr'a s he's going to offer to make me his secretary. But you don't seem at all alarmed at the prospect of my being carried off by a flunkey." "You'll come back, dearie, 1 doubt not. "Don't you ? Oh, very well: then TM just look after myself. If I don't return, I'll advertise myself in the Times. Good -by." Willie returned to the door and announced that he was ready to go. "But where is William?" asked Hopkins. "Mister Miliaria Winders stands be- fore you," said the boy, placing his hand on his heart and making a bow. "Come now, Long -legs," he added, seizing Hopkins by the arm and pushing him down stairs into the cab. Leaping in after him he shut the door with a bang. "Now, then, cabby, an right, Beverly Square, full split; sixpence extra if you do it within the half !" Away they went, and in a few seconds were in the Mall driving at a rattling pace. "See that house ?" asked Willie, so suddenly as to startle Hopkins, who was collo overwhelmed by the vigor and energy of his young com- panion. "Eh 1 which ! the one with the porch before the door ?" "No, no, stoopid ! the old red brick house with the limbs of a vine all over the front of it, and the skeleton of a Virginia creeper on the wall." "Yes, 1 see it," said Hopkins, look- ing out. "Ah, a friend o' mine lives there. I'm on wisiting terins there, I am.

Then he questioned her as to her circumstances; after which be told her that he had been sent to see her by his daughter Louisa, who was herself very ill, owing to the effects of a fire in his own house.

We breed pure bred stock toen. hence their points of value in order to secure an animal that, when plac.- ed herds or docks, will increase their market worth, Since the results at .the block must be and are the test of all breeding, live stock raisers' are increasing the tendency to introduce pure bred blood io their stock. It is universally 'admitted, we believe, with out question, that the only agency that will increase the :Market value of aa - animal -in good-hlood, coupled with proper feeding. In con- sidering the purpose of pure bred live stock' there Is a tendency among some farmers . and stock raisers to assume that the better grades of 'animals do not demand proportion- ately better care and feeding than the copanion nondescript animal. The MOSe., or lose pronounced erroneous impression and practice of it is what hurts the pure bred animal. This phase or handling pure bred live stook hurts the butter type of animals imcl handicaps the breeding of the better class of stock among certain Classes of live stockmen. These mon, 'unfortunately, aro those that most need the services of bet- ter sires and dams, this View of the matter' is very well presented in -a paragraph by a recent writer, who sar`Ms:Tn. who grow live stock at home often become over enthusiastic over pure bred stock after a visit to the agricultural fairs or fat stock show. They reason that the difference in size and appearance between the rib- bon winners at the ring and their own stock at home is due solely to 001) BREEDING. The rapid change ii form and a tendency to early maturity do not take place.- The good animal is given scrub conditions. A scrub farmer with scrub feeding will soon make scrub stock Out of the progeny of our national prize winners, even though they have a long pedigree of royal blood. it takes an improved farmer who will improve his system of feeding and care to handle suc- cessfully pure breed animals on - the farm. He intuit know their charac- teristics; he must know the relation of various foods to animal nutrition, and then be willing to bestow pati- ent care and attention upon the ani- mals he has in charge." It, is a hard problem to convince the well named 'scrub" fariner that he is such, but the sure test is "a -circumstance such as the above wxit- er indicates. Were such a thing pos- sible it would prove a boom to the pure bred breeding interests of the country if every prospective breeder weae not .permitted to secure first- class animals until he will give what siSultnse.cessary to bring out their re - As it is, every community has cases where some whose capabili- ties are insufficient, has lunged into pure bred stock. His knowledge of. the subject is little and his inclina- tions soon lose their acuteness, and the next incident is the community who are holding nis experience as ti. natural sequence of a venture in "FANCY. STOCK." It. is. • unfortunate, but none the less .true, that the average person is inclined to name the animal as the direct result of the foilure, rather than the inexperience of the man. It is true that better stock regnive bete ter care and thought, and it is, no detriment to them that they do. The improved animal shows its utility in the higher.prices its finished products command upon ' the open market when compared with the poorer grade of live stock. This statement has been so thoroughly demonstrat- ed in this great market that ergot- ment is unnecessary. It is sufficient that the packer 'wants a higher grade of live stock and is willing to pay a premium in a superior price to the producer who will put such ani- mals upon the market. Occasionally failures are ceasing to mar the possibilities that the pro- ducer of market live stock has be- fore him in realizing more for his neer, p on.

The windmill will economically run all kinds oi stationary farm machinery, such as feed grinders,. fodder cutters, buzz eases, fanning mills, grind -stones, churns, to say nothing of pumping water, which is the most common use to which it has been put. The only objection which can be raised against the use of a windmill is that the wind sometimes does not blow when power is wanted. That Is not a serious objection, because as the power costs nothing, one can afford to utilize the wind when he has it. Usually tho wind blows more or less during every 211: hours, and it is an uneonamon oecurrence when there is not enough Wind dur- ing a period of throe consecutive days to give power enough to pump water or run a feed mill. A wind- mill to be 1180(1 for pumping purposes only is xt simple machine. • It has merely to be geared so as to. give the pump a slow, easy, safe motion, and then avoid westing its power and destroying the nill 411(1 puitip by ;jerking the pumj. plunger against, the solid arid unyielding column of water_ On the ether hand, the pow- er windmill is geared un so as to run the vertical shaft at a high rate of speed for a wholly Putross.

Every &fort should be made to avoid the use of a line shaft, un- necessary gearing or a very long belt, as by such means a large per- centage of the power is absorbed, particularly. where shafting is oper- ated' at high speed. A test of a power Windraill by Prof. P. S. King • showed that a 12 -foot wheel would grind from 3.9.25 pounds of corn per hour, with a wind velocity of 71 miles, to 1848 pounds with a Wind velocity of 85.6 miles, With a 20-nd1e wind a wheel of this size will grind 10 to 15 bushels corn per hour, or it will run a buzz saw as fast as two men care to handle cordwood, or a fodder glitter fast enougD to kc,or, two men busy 21.4poei pun sneisu.too Sapriddits Where it is necessary to run a churn, grindstoue, or other slow running maehine, a short countershaft is placed a few feet from the main shaft and the speed reduced in this way by the use of pulleys of differ- ent sizes. DAD TEEnt IN A COW. Irregularities of the teeth may be acca,sioned by the unequal wearing of some of the teeth of by some of the incisors being bro'ken, which may happen when eattle are pastured on sandy or gravelly soil. The molar teeth may also show irregular wear from similar causes. Their edges may become sharp or it may happen that a naolar tooth is accidentally fractured. It may also occur that a supernumerary tooth has developed in an unusual position, and that it interferes with the natural and regu- lar mastication of the food. The mouth may be examined by grasping thearamat's tongue 'with one hand and partially withdrawing it from the mouth so as to expose the teeth to inspection. When it is desired to examine the back teeth with the hand so as to obtain a more precise idea of their condition the speculum, which is used for horses, should he introduced into the mouth so as to separate the jaws and keep them apart while the examination is being made. Sfiarp edges of the teeth must be removed by the tooth rasp. Any tooth which interferes with mastica- tion or which is fractured or loose should be extracted. In performing such an operation it is best to throw or cast the ox or cow and have its head hold securely so as to enable the operator to do what is necessary. BLESSING OF SUNSHINE. A. Curious Result of the Studies of a Swiss Professor. Prof. Lugeon of the University of Lausanne has been studying tbe po- pulation of the valley of the Rhone between Martigny and the Rhone glacier. The statistics show that the right bank of the river between these points has a population of 34,000 while only 20,000 persons Liao along the left bank. There are two reasons for this dif- ference in. the density of population of the two banks of the Rhone. One is that the right bank is less hilly and therefore offers better 'lateral conditions for the building of ham- lets and towns; but Prof. Lugeon is convineccl that aimportant marc 1» - fluence is exerted by the different de- grees of sunshine enjoyed by the two 'banks. Ile has found that along a part of the river banks which present exact- ly the same topographic conditions the population of the side which is most exposed to the sun lias from four to ilve times as many inhabi- tants as lhe other bank which is in the shadow of the mountains that ward off most of the direct rays of the sun. With one or two exceptions all the villages have been built on the bank which is most fully expos- ed to the sun's rays. This influence of the presence or ab- sence of sunlight also manifests it- self in the psythic characteristics, and the material coaditions of the popu- lation of the two river banks. On the right side of the river in the sun the population live more at their ease, are more prosperous and pre- sent a degree of civilization more ad- vanced than those of the opposite shore. TT° calls those who are most fav- ored with sunlight the solar aristo- cracy and says that they contemplate with a certain 'disdain the inferior population wlio 'dwell in the shadow acroes the river. The people of the •einage of Reck- ingen, which occupies both banks of the Rhone, are notably divided into two distinct castes whose origin., in the last analysis, may be attributed to the difierence of sunshine to which the two groups aro exposed. • 4 "Web," remarked the sarcastic tonrist„, "this is about the dullest distriatl over saw." "D'yo think so ?" returned the native rustic. "Ye'd better wait far a eouple of weeks an' then see how this place'll be stirred up," "Indeed ! What's going to happen ?" • "Ploughin '1" DR.

Gloves at Various Times the Theme of 'Wally Fanciful Theories, The principal material from whiele gloves and mittens are manafactured is the roans, including all kinds of domestic sheepskins. Ilorse, cow, seal, hog anal dog skins were also used. A. horse or cow hide is gener- ally split up the back, arid it is esti- mated that in each hide there is 80 square feet. Idocha, and imported kidare used for line lined and un- lined gloves for • men,' women, a,nd ,children, and the domestic kid is made into the more common varie- ties, The Cabretta and Brazilian, sheep-skinsare cut into men's urn grade gloves for driving, while the roans or donitstic sheepskins are made into men's low grade gl*Oves and mittens, the cheapest leather gloves manufactured. The horse and cow hides and the goat and seal skins are lased as a substitute for deerskins in the manufacture of men's imitation buck gloves and Lilit Probably the most notable glove - making machine is the multiple need- le machine, for stitching the back of gloves, which sews two, three, four and even six rows at the same time. The automatic trimmer, which is at- sot, tactical. to the head, or needle bar, of the machine, was introduced in 1.8)93, and has greatly facilitated the work, as it trims the leather much VETTER THAN DO SHEARS. At various periods and in different countries the glove has been the theme for many fanciful and poetic) theories. • It has been a customary offering on occasions of joy and sor- row; the pledge of friendship, of love and of safety; the symbol of hatred, defiance, humiliation and honor; the token of loyalty and the tenure by which estates have been. granted or held. st`' The origin of the glove is unknown and its material history is not aid- ed to any extent by the history of the world itself. From all the evi- tlence obtainable the glove probably constituted a part of nian'srcelrensts from time inunemorial. Ifec discoveries in the geological world aro to be credited, it formed part of the costume of the pro -historic cave - dwellers. It is supposed that the gloves of the ca,ve-dwollers were made of roughly -dressed skins and sewed with needles made of bone, and were not of ordinary size, but reached to the elbows, thus antici- pating the multibutton glove of the Victorian era. They wore known to the Greeks and also to the Persians and Romans. Among the Greeks they were chiefly used by the labor- ers as a protection for the hands in gathering harvests. Among the Parisians and Romans they were al- so worn as ornaments, chiefly by thd higher orders, particularly the mili- tary. They were considered a. necessary adjunct to the regalia of royalty, and they were not generally worn by . women until about the period of THE REFORMATION. In the early period of the industry on this contenent the liSclian process or tanning was exclusively used. The distinguishing feature of the pre - cess was the use of the brain of a deer, which insuracf a (hirable as well as a soft and pliable leather. The brain of a hog was subsequent- ly tried, but it was not entirely sat- isfactory, as it lacked certain pro- perties possessed by the deer Jain. At the present time the sliaep and lamb -skins used are received in what is known as "salt pickle," which is applied to the skin after. the remov- al f hair. When the gloveraaker gets the skins lie stretches them and then 10 shaves them down to the desired thinness and then they go to the cut- ters. From the cutters' room tho. leather, which has assumed the shape of a glove, goes to the "silkers," who embroider the back, and then to the "makers." • Some sew the fingers and put the thumbs in, while others welt or hem the glove around the wrist, and others, called "point- ers," work the ornamental lines on the back, o seei #401. • 7)4fee • A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
