:Willie Winders was in the etation 1
When it arrived, and so was Fred I
Alubiely who having accompanied, !
:Willie had get into such an interest-
ing tale with eul-engineer in charge,
that ho forgot time, and was still!
in animated conversation when the
wheels were heard in the distance.
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.

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

of the risks you run and the way

"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."

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.
Now then, mind your eye, pump -
handle," cried Willie; "the turn's
rather sharp—hollo
As they swung round into the
Bayswater Road the cab came in
contact with a, butcher's cart, Odell
being the lighter vehicle, was nearly
upset. No serious tlatnage reaulted
however, and soon after they drew
up at thedoor of the house next

In some surprise Willie said that

"Right back again," said Willie.

had stopped short in the doorway,
but who now advanced and sat down
beside the invalid, and put to her
several forrnal questions in a very
stately and stiff manner, with a
great- assumption of patronage.
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.
"Oh. I've been so sorry about Miss

large eyes full in Mr. Auberly's face;
"rye heard of her, you know, from

WEIAT IIDRTS GOOD STOOK.
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

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

It is doubtful if many farmers rew-
Ilize the full possibilities of using
windmills for running farm ruachina
'pry. In some sections a windfall.'
Inlay be seen on every farm, while in
I other parts in the country a person
may ride for miles and not meet with
3 no. 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

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

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.

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

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,
