But if ho Merl, 11010 would Lady Norah stand? She was to be his wife, and he had a right to inquire, he told himself, and his eyes wander- ed to the small iron deed box which always accompanied the earl. It would contain either the will itself or a copy of it. Ile must see that at any cost. He sat staring at the box and turning over possibilities in his gager mind until he heard the doctor com- ing down the stairs, and he rose and )net him. "He 10 still the same.

Of course, there is no need to apprise Lady Novell of this mournh-1 fact, yet a while."

It was locked and the key was in the earl's pocket, Ile stood for a moment irl•csoluto. A sharp blow with the poker would smash the lock, no doubt, but the lawyers might ask disagreeable questions. He set the box in las position and stole upstairs. The earl's valet was standing outside the door in roadf- ness, in case he should bo wanted, and he stood aside to let Berton pass. "No, I won't go in just yet, La- farge," he said, softly. "It is not well to have too many in the room. By the way, I think I should remove his lordship's clothes from the room. The sight of them might disturb hien. You know his love of neatness."

A Naturalist 'fells of 'them Turning Over a Fish. - Turnstone is alto name of a 01111813 01 shore -birds that aro allied to the ploy - 01's and the sandpipers. This namelies been given to thein because of their singular manner of feeding. With their strong bills they turn over lire small stones lying in the sand of the beaches to find the insects that may be sheltered underneath. If 111e stone is too heavy for the bill, they push it over by applying the breast to the tip- pet side. A Scotch naturalist tells how a number of these birds worked togeth- er to turn over a fish w111311 VMS too heavy for one alone to move. Passing along the seashore, be says, I observed on the souls, at a consider- able distance before nee, two birds l'e- sido a large object. Iuowing by their appearance that they did not belong to the species which are usually mot in this quarter, heft the beach and oro- eeeded along the sand, an eminence of shingle intervening, until I concluded that I was almost opposite the spot where the birds were employed. At last I come in sight of the bwo Iil.te workers, which were busily en- deavoring to turn over a dead ash teat was fully six Limes their size. Net wishing to disturb them, and anxious al the same time to witness their oper- ations, I observed that a few paces nearer them there was a deep hollow among the shingle, into which I con- trived to creep unobserved. Having got fairly settled down in my pebbly observatory, I turned my undi- vided attention to the buds before me. They were boldly pushing at Iho fish with their bills and then with their breasts. Their endeavors, however, were in vain; 1110 object remained inl- mmmhle. Oil Ibis they 11pt1 wept round t0 rhe. opposite side and began to serape away the sand from beneath the fish.

The serious mistake of breeding from animals of an inferior type has been so frequently discussed, 1(11(1 is 110 thor- oughly established, that 11 may seem un- necessary to bring it up again, but from pommel observation we find, that the necessity of being more careful In the selection of their brood sows should be further impressed on many farmers, writes a correspondent, Much of the disappoinlnlent and loss complained of by hog raisers may be directly attri- buted to the using of sows selected be cause of their indivicluttl appearance, without any consideration as to the litters they came from. A brood sow should never.' be selected from a liter of less then ten or twelve pigs, and in this litter aero should not be more than 0118'runt, or inferior pig, the others should be uniform In size and formation, both at birth and at wean- ing time, and also at marketing time, if all are raised under similar conditions. A sow selected, from an uneven liter will disappoint in her offspring every • time, and I consider there is no bettor wap 10 bring about a failure in hog raising than by feeding litters of this kind, for while one-half of. '111301 are thrifty fellows, that make a gain every day, the other half lag behind and lose' for you as much as the good ones maim. If you havo been keeping sows of this kind, I strongly advise you to got rid of the whole breed, as soon as possible. Good sows can always be procured, for any -one who has one good one will very soon have plenty of them to spare. Who would think of keeping a horse that could only work half lime, or a cow that would only give milk half a season, then why keep a sem that pre- I duces what is worse than half a liter? A good sow is an a-sscl of great impoe-; lance on any farm, and if you have one.; be very careful that you do not get rid • of her breed. Like produces like, and if she is properly mated, you ,are not likely to become discouraged with the proms from your flogs. if you arc in quest of a young sow, you must first select an olci one, or one that has had at least two 11(1015, as a sow's first litter should never be bred from, the constitution of an older sows pigs is always better. 811101 from a liter of not less than len uniform pigs.
