She guessed why Lord St, Aubin bad

Sully realized that he would propose

not love him she meant to say yes, to
accept him at once and to stop all
tongues from guessing at the true stagy

ing that she had been put aside for
Sunbeam,
She entered Lhe aviary as self-pos-

are Domcs'ic.
Tho Czarina has disappeared from
public view for some time past, says
the Russian correspondent for the New
York Journal. At first It was intimat-
ed that she was suffering from the ef-
fects of a particularly stubborn case of
influenza. But when her seclusion be-
came prolonged it was bound impos-
sible eo conceal any longer the real
state of affairs, and it was reluctantly
admitted that ,she was far too ill - to
take any part in the festivities of the
St Petersburg season; that her malady,
though not dangerous to life, was likely
to prove of lengthy dursiiop, end that
it was mental • rather than physical,
consisting of pronounced melancholia
and of a complete nervous breakdown.
When one recalls to mind all that the
Empress has had to endure since she
went to Russia as a bride, it is not
astonishing that her nerves should have
given way. Her alliance to the Czar
was unpopular with the people in the
ftnst place. For It was known through-
out Russia that she had entertained the
strongest isind of scruples about ahem
dontng the Rrolestsnt Churoh, in which
she had been reared, for the orthodox
Greek rite, end it was reported that her
converatan was not sincere.

to have coincided with the death of her
father-ln-law, and when she cane to

of rejoicing but of mourning.
The tragedy which marred the festi-
vities of the coronation at Moscow,
casting the lives of thousands of poor
people, eves likewise a shook to her, and,
moreover, served to ' associate her in
the eyes of Me Russians with misfor-
tune and ill -tuck.
The many disappointments which she
suffered herself and to which she sub-
jee1ed the nation, before finally giving
birth three years ago to an heir to the
throne, were construed by the manses

of divine displeasure.

The utility poultry keeper has in the

Tho Sussex fowl cannot be considered
as amongst first-class lavers, yet it has
been [mond that by selection their abtil-
ties in this respect can be brought up
high without in anyway impairing their
table qualities. One point very much
in its favor Is Lhet it is a good winter

SAYING HORSES.
In teaching a horse to be fearless or
any strange and therefore he him
alarming object, there are three rules
of conduct to which there Is leo excep-
tion -never speak sharply, never use
your whip and never urge him forward
with a tight rein. A frightened or nerv-
ous horse is psychologically the equi-
valent of a frightened child, Would
any one in his senses expect to cure
his child's timidity by scolding or whip-
ping him or by yanking hive suddenly
by the arm?
It Is Impossible to condemn too
strongly the pulling of a horse's mouth
and laying the whip smartly across his.

and p' puiarly advocated "to distract his

HOW GEESE ARE FATTENED,
The following method of fattening is
adopted by the English goose farmers:
Geese in good condition 311001(1 be shut
up in a quiet place, shaded from light,
whero they cannot see other geese at
liberty, and should be kept there from
twenty io twenty -ave days. It is bene-
ficial to let them out for about fifteen
to thirty minutes the first thing in the
morning and again in the evening
about dusk. Tha meals they get should
be nutritious and a mixture of barley
meal, wheat meal, a litho cornmeal
and betted potatoes given twice a day
is good. About the last ten ar twelve
days it is advisable t0 mix a little finely
chopped rough fat with the meal. This
has the effect of plumping them up,
rendering their flesh much more pala-
table. A trough of clear water should
be supplied the birds after the evening
meal.
EGGS THE BASIS.
Egga are the toundaton of the poul-
try business. No otter branch is any
surer or more profitable in the long
rung There is money in broilers, roast-
ers, ere., but without eggs they could
not be obtained. 'The more eggs a hen
