"1 think you will ]he to fight another day, will not you? but I really am ex- tremely sorry; tell mo ell about it." "Ile was perfectly right when we left England," says Cecilia, mollified at once, and apparently relieved by the in- vitation to unbosom herself of her woes; 'nobody could have been more so; ae canoe to see us off at Folkestone, and the tears were in his eyes; they were really, it was not any imagination, was it, Amelia? And at first he wrote all right, and said ell the usual things; but then his letters gradually grew fewer and fewer, and after I had written and telegraphed a greet ninny times, I do not knew how many times I did tele- graph to ask whether ho was ill, and you know how expensive foreign teelo- grams are, he sent one a few lines, oh, such Creel lines; were not they, Amelia? to say, that on reflection, he feared that the feeling he had for me was not such as to justify his entering on so sacred an engagement as 11001'ingo wills me; but ho ought to have thought of that be- fore, ought not he?" "Undoubtedly!" "1 will never engage myself to a clergyman again," says Cecilia, pen- sively. Burgoyne's thoughts have strayed at the mention of the cloth of his sister-in- law elect's truant admirer, to that mem- ber of the same profession who has lately robbed him of his heritage, and he replies with a good deal of feeling: They do play one dirty turns now and then, do not limey? Yes, Cis, stiok to laymen for the future!" Cecilia receives this counsel with a melancholy sigh, fixing her large ayes on the carpet, but presently resumes the conversation in a livelier key. "Let us talk about something plea- santer," she says. "(tad you a good journey? Do you like your travelling companion? Why did not you bring him with you? Is he nice?"

"Without any preporalionl" elplies .Jim, raising his eyebrows. "Have not you been preparing them for the last eight, years?" Ile feels a vague unjust irritation with her for opposing his proposition, though deep down in his heart he knows that he would have fell a much greater an- noyance had she eagerly closed with it. As she does not answer a question, which the moment that it is uttered he feels:to, have been ranter brutal, he goes en; against his will, to the ,same sarcas- tic key. • "I am afraid that you ,will have to leave them all some duty; I ant afraid that Our , Bayswater mansion -by -the -bye, I stn sure it will not be a inmisicn, ter 1 am sure it w111 not have a book -clone - be likely fie l Your contain all.

He comes back to his hotel, through the piazza of the Duomo.

It fs evidently no unpleasenl errand that has detained him, for he arrives beam- ing, and too excited even- to perceive the menu which a waiter offers him. Oddly "They have arrived!" hemie s. d( y enough it never occurs to Burgoyne to inquire who "they" may be; 11 seelns its much a molter -of -course to him as to the handsome pink and white boy be- fore him, that the pronoun must relate to Elizabeth le Marchant and her mother. His' only answer, however, is an "01111" whose tone is rather more eegcr- ly interested than he could have wished. "I thought that they could not stay more than another day in Genoa," con- tinues Byng, at length becoming aware of the menu at his elbow; but only le wave it impatiently away. So I thought I watt:, just run down to the station to meet the evening train, the one we came by last night; however, it must have been more punctual than yesterday, for, before I reached the sta- ffer, I met them; I mean they passed mo in a flacre. I only caught a glimpse of her face, but I saw her hand; it was lying on the carriage -door_ like a 8110w - fake.' "Like my grandmother!" cries Bur- goyne in a rage, for which he cannot quite amount to himself, at this ingen- tous•and novel; simile. Byng laughs; the laugh of a 1110111110- 1y ,sweel,naturod 11orough1y,sweetnaturod person, who, du addi• lien had some special cause for good-, humor.

In the country, where it is 1101 convenient for the farmer to get bone fresh from the butcher, he can supply milk instead, which is al- most or quite as good as bone. We know of a lady breeder who feeds corn and milk the year mune. to both young and old, with very satisfactory results, using the sour milk (after boiling it) in mash with decided benefit, especially with the young growing stock. Next year we shall use boiled sour mills, wheat bran and corn meal sprinkled with pulverized Marconi for elle young chicks, helieveing we will have a food that will be wholesome, palatable enil inexpensive comparatively to some of the so-c011ed 'prepared chick foods' new on the market.

They can not do well witihout it. They suffer terribly when exposed to the direct rays of the sun all day. For cows on good pasture there is no better suplemenlary grain feed than loan and corn chop, equal peels by weight, fed in amounts 10 correspond with Inc ability of each cow to return a good profit for 1110 increased expense. The quantity of water required ey horses varies more than is the case with any other of our domestic animals. The wisdom of supplying it frequently, especially during hard labor, is realized by nearly every careful horseman. The secret of many a successful feeder hs the care with which he supplies water. We would advise no one to rush into squab raising with expensive houses and a largo number of birds and no ex- perience. Better, as some people have done, get a few birds and fit up such places as are at hand. Learn the busi- ness by experience as it develops. For w•0tne11 and those not able to do heavy manual work this offers a healthful and pt•ofllable occupation.

The man who is on the hunt for mon- ey to the exclusion of everything else never has time to live. He does not smile, or if he does, it is a sickly sort of a thing that 111111(es a man feel home- sick to see it. IL has been estimated that more 1110- chinery is worn out by the weather and not being sheltered than is worn out ly actual use, and I believe this estimate to be not far from correct. This Is a good way to keep the mnnunclurers rich, and it is keeping more farmers poor. In the ordinary wasteful method of cidermaking by small heed machines not more than 40 per cent. of the juice til the fruit is removed from the porn - ace, while only from one-third le one- half the sugar is recovered, lite rest be- ing thrown away. hydraulic presses extract about 75 per cent. of the juice; but by macerating the pomace and re- pressing We may secure practically ail lite jeice and sugar, as well ss a great- ly increased amount of flavoring mat- ter, aromatics and WIN which are found chiefly hi the skins.

Daphne per- sislcd,s blisRose shook her head, and so her little niece, finding that coaxing was of en neat], started off alone. "Alumina said 1 should have a lovely time all the while when .I came to see grandmother and Aunt Rose," she said to herself; "but I don't call it baring fun when you •Have •l0 amuse yourself.' You see, Daphne had been so used to having things her own way that she could not grow accustomed all at once to her Aunt Rose's kind, 19001 way, but pouted and fretted until she was 111 fair danger of spr.iling her roselike MN. She went to the summer 1101155, which stood on tate top of a small hill over- loolcing the sands -for Miss llose's house was on the seashore -and sat down, with her book in her hand, But pres- ently. hearing voices on the beach, she looked out and saw two girls there. Ono., was sitting on a little pier, the other was bending over something on the sands. "Come, Madge, come and Help me," the latter called; "if you don't we shall be late in meeting mamma," "I'm so tired," called hack 1110 one sit- ting ftting on the pier, "and -and-" "Oh, please come," repealed the other,. "tor I dropped then(, every ono." Daphne looked and saw that the speaker was filling 0 pan with pretty stones that she had evidently just spill- ed on the ground. "I suppose I might go and help her," she said; but the next moment site add- ed, "No, I won't. It's so hot out'there, and I might spoil my new pink dress; and besides, it's none of my business if she dirt spill them, and her sister won't help to pick them up." There was no doubt about it, Daphne was very cross because Aunt Rose had not done as her niece wished. And so she sal on the top of the wall that sep- arated the gardee from the beach and watched the little stranger busily at work, Presently she heard the one on the pier say: "It's my fool, Polly, that hurts so. rm 'most afraid I can't walk 10 mem nm," "Then you'd bettor rest it, and I'll pick up tine stones," Polly said sn cheer- fully Lhat Daphne at once concluded she must be a nice girl. A few minutes later, Miss Rose canoe down the walk and into the summer house to look for her on the sands. "I'm here, auntie," Daphne said, as Miss Rose appeared in view. "I'm watch- ing two girls on the sand," Miss Bose -joined Daphne, and, s8 her eyes alighted on the busy worker, she called out, pleasantly: "Polly! Polly Benton! What ere you and Madge doing down there? Where 1 3 yomatmma?"
