"Have you thought? Have you duly considered the consequences. You hold a proud position. The Earl of Wolverholme is a man who is respected, at whom dirt nes never been thrown. Your name will become an object of execra- tion. You, it will affect but little, for you are an old man.

He quickly recognized the wis- dom of her words, and held his rage in check. "I don't believe you could do it, Mr. Josephs," he said gravely. "I do not credit you with being so low." "Don't rely on that, Lord Hare - castle," he said grimly. "You don't know me. Ask any one in the city if Joel Josephs bas ever been known to go back on his word.

"What madness is this'" the Earl cried agitatedly. "It is quite im- possible." "Let the matter rest; you can de no good, Joel," Harecastle said CHAPTER XXL Joel led the way to the smoking - room, and they found that Lord Wolverholme had not yet gone to bed, The three men were alone. Harecastle was acutely feeling his position. His father looked so happy and contented, and little dreamt of what was awaiting him. "I suppose it is nearly time for bed," the Earl remarked with a yawn, "It is only eleven o'clock," Joel said quickly, "and I fear we must. have a Iittle talk. I want you to 1 think you will thank nae a few years hence. You are made for one another; every one says so. There is no reason why you should not look forward to a long life of happiness.

New you must take a hand," "I will do my best, but I cannot with me." "Perhaps the Earl will be able to persuade Rebekah. He has every reason to use the persuasive powers for which he is famed," Joel said threateningly. "What does it all mean'" the Earl asked of his son. "Is it a joke' If so, it is in very bad taste.,, "It is grim earnest, Lord Wol- verholme. You may as well under- stand that we all know of that lit- tle affair at St. Petersburg." 'Make up your minds," he said sharply. "If you so desire it, I will make the announcement to our guests in the morning, that the marriage is postponed." "And you will say nothing'" Re- bekah asked eagerly. "I shall speak, and to the point," he said sharply. "Have you dle- cided' You are a pair of simple- tons. Run along and play and let's have no more of this non- sense. I am really very fond of you both if you will only be sen- sible." It was more than Rebekah could bear, and she burst forth into pas- sionate tears. But on Joel it had not the slightest effect. g "You need not think that tears will hnake me alter my mind," he began in an even, cold voice. "Per- haps you had better go to bed. A night's rest may enable you to view things sensibly. You are overtired,' "I shall never rest while you are se, cruel," she cried piteously, "Will nothing change you 7" "It is useless," $arecastle said, for hope had left him.

There aro thousands of farmers who find the winter a most profit- able season, and morn and more Antecomingbe the winter activity is to rule. This is in line with the stead s Y growth of agriculture into a web - regulated business, as exact in me- thods and as: certain in results as merchandizing and manufacturing. In 2,000 quarts of milk sold—or 4,300 pounds—twenty pounds of nitrogen, eleven pounds of potash and nine pounds of phosphoric acid are removed from the farm. But the cow that produces this amount of milk returns nearly as much plant food to the farm in the shape ee manure, if it is properly saved. So that, in reality, milk farming is by no 'means exhaustive. It is astonishing how in some 00508, a change of locality increases the vigor and strength of a plant, sometimes also changing its habits. It is a well-known fact that, amongst our weed and insect pests, some of those imported from other countries, are our worst enemies, and that these, while in their' na- tive country, frequently caused "lit- tle trouble. Although a change of 0 lima' orsoil acts, in some sees climate at, very beneficially on the quality of t i productiveness of he fruit and prod e some plants, it does not necessar- ily follow that all changes made at random would produce the same results. LIVE STOCK NOTES. Among men of judgment a breed- er is rated more by the quality of what he sells than by the,prices which he receives. His animals are a standing advertisement. When lambs are being dropped you should see the sheep the last thing before going to bed and the first thing in the morning. If you find a sheep that you are sure will am a ore you see her again, put her in one of the pens,eand gener- ally no harm will result. Complaint is sometimes made that the finer bred pigs are less hardy, either against cold or ill usage than the coarser kinds.' It is true that this is the feet, but ie is no objection. No farmer has a. right to expect the combination of incompatible qualities in the same animal. The wildhog is un- doubtedly most hardy, because re- ceiving no care; all that are not killedoff very hardiest are isgoodfor nothing, early. But he g, except in the wild state, to which he is adapted. Chickens, and especially fowls, will take on flesh very rapidly if put in a coop and confined ten days. Give them corn and cornbread mixed with milk, also vegetables of different kinds. After ten days, they should be sold if intended for market, but if being prepared for a show they should be let run for two or three days, when they can again be cooped up, but for no longer than about seven days. This kind of treatment for a month, with a variety of grain, keeping corn for the principal food, will make a wonderful change in the birds. For market poultry, ten days is sufficient, but exhibition stock cannot be handled too much.

It has always been recognized that in warfare a knowledge of the enemy's weak points confers im- mense tactical advantage. This was never truer than in the tre- mendous crusadethat mankind is banding together to wage against that dread foe, tuberculosis. A few decades ago this particular enemy of the human rade was not believed to have any vulnerable spots. It was thought by all to .be invincible, and that its mere touch meant death. Then it was gradu- ally discovered that, after all, cer- tain weapons were at hand by means of which mankind could give fight; that before sunlight, fresh air and proper food this foe would recoil like Mephistopheles before the crucifix. Then, little bylittle the fight ttl g was begun. By example and.pre- cept people were taught not to lie down and die, but to standup and battle for themselves. The good news was taken to the tenements and crowded parts of great cities, where sunshine Mad fresh air aresecured without not s o a x a struggle, but wherethey are just as efficacious as in the haunts of wealth. The great free exhibitsgiven by the International Tuberculosis Ex- hibition are of immense Value in this educational crusade, and the charity that takes the form of pay- ing car fares in order that the poor of the tenements may not miss this invaluable object -lesson is a very real one. Here the mother who is trying to save her stricken child in two small rooms in a tenement district is shown those two rooms as they probably are and as they may be. In the first instance dirty, cluttered up with useless rubbish, with every crack through which air may filter carefully stuffed with un clean rags.

Cold and hot water face baths combined are much more effective than either one alone, for it takes the hot bath to cleanse the skin and the cold one to invigorate and stimulate it. The English are de- voted to the cold water bath for the whole body as well as the face, and the ,English men as well as the women are famous for the beauty of their complexion. The cold bath snakes the skin look clean, but it does not cleanse it. The face should he washed in bot or at least warm water and should be rinsed in water of the same eemperetui'e. This should always be followed by dash- ing cold water on the face, neck and throat until the skin tingles and glows. The only time when the face should not be rinsed in cold water is after the eveningbath, when the pores must be left open to drink kinf x be s cod that has been applied, Tho shock of the cold wator draws the blood to the surface and makes the skin firm, smooth, and healthy looking.

One evening they made believe that the lawn was a desert, and that Johnny was an ancient Arab sleeping in his tent, "But where is my fiery steed1" asked the little boy.. "Ah, I guess you'll have to take the great Camelopard—made of stars, up there in the sky.
