"How very much he is unlike

his spontaneous and picturesque

gleam of white between the trees,
a sound of voices in the distance.
The fancily party are returning
from church. The dogs jump up
and wag their tails and bark their
welcome. The Babe is dashing on
in advance. There is an end of their
brief tete-a-tete; he passionately
regrets the loss of it, though he is
note,sure of what he would have
said in it.
"Always together!" says. Dulcia
Waverley in a whisper, to Usk, as
she sees them, "Does he know that
he succeeds Lora Gervase, do you
think ?"
"How should I know?" says Usk;
"and Dolly says there is nothing be-
tween ber and Gervase--nothing;
at least it was all in honor, as the
French say."
"Oh, of course," agrees Lady
\naverloy, with her plaintive eyes
gazing dreamily down the aisle of
larch -trees. Tlie children have
run on to Mine Sabaroff.'
"Where is Alan' 1" thinks Dolly.
Usk, angrily, on seeing Blanford.
Gervase, who is not an early ris-
er, is then taking nis toffee in bed
as twelve strikes. He detests an
English Sunday ; although at Sur-
ronden it is disguised as much as
possible to look lilac any other.day,
still there is a. Sunday feeling in
the air, and Usk does not like peo-
ple to play cards on Sundays; it is
his way of being virtuous vicarious -
"No doubt, you :have," says Mr.
Wootton, kindly. "The virtue of
its 'women sit the great safeguard
of a nation,"
"Oneunderstands why England
is losing her nice equipoise, then,
now," murmurs Blanford,
Mr. Wootton disregards hien.
"Mme. Sabaroff was talked
about, I t'hink, unjustly; no doubt?"
he insists.
Mr. 'Wootton always insists.
"Ach i" says Liftoff. apologeti-
cally; "Sabaroff was such a great
brute. it was very natural—"
"What was natural?"
"That she shouldconsole her-
self."
"Ah1 she did console herself 7"
Liftoff smiles. "Ask Lord Ger-
vase; he was teed Baird at that
time. We all expected he would
have married her when Samaroff
was shot,"
"But .it was Leitnitz who shot
Sabaroff in a duel about her?"
"Not about her. Leitnitz quar-
reled with him about a gambling
affair, not about her at all, though
people have said so. Lord Baird—
Gervaso—was, I ani certain, her
first lover, and has been her only
one, as .yet."
Blanford flings his book with.

and walks to the window. Mr.
Wootton looks after him.
"No one oould blame her," says
scarcely sixteen to a brute; she
was immensely admired; she was
alone in the mid's't of a society both
loose .and brilliant; Gervase laid,
siege to her sans treve, and she
was hardly more. than a child."
"Where there is no principle
early implanted," begins Mr. Woot-
ton.
Bet Liftoff is not patient under
preaching.
"My dear sir," he says, impati-
entle, "principle (of that kind) is
more easily implanted in plain
women than in handsomer ones.
Mme. Seberoff is a. proud woman,
which. comes to nearly the same
thing as a high -principled one. She

SOMETHING ABOUT BURNS.
%lie severity of burns end scalds
depends upon the area of body -
surface drat Inst been burned, the
situation and the depth of tissue

surface of the leg Or arm; althougdi.
of considerable depth, is often less
;serious than a 'larger but more
superficial barn of the trunk, head
or neck; and this is especially true
of children, who are more sus-
ceptible than grown persons to the
shook which aocompanies an ex-
tensive burn.•
Every one is familiar with the
simple redness of the skin produced
by a •slight burn, and with the blist-
er that follows if the born be a
little more severe, In such slight
aecndouts no tissue is actually de-
stroyed, and no spar results, Tho
redness is caused by congestion of
jibe •small blood -vessels of the skin,
and the blister by still further con-
gestion, producing a leakage of the
fluids of the blood into the upper
layers of the akin:'
For such slight burns q coating
of sweet -oil or vaselino covered
with clean cotton -wool' is the simp-
lest remedy. It supplies protec-
tion from exposure to the air,
which is a cardinal principle in the
treatment of all burns and scalds.
Tho blisters may be pricked with.
a needle -which has been passed
through, a flame several times to
kill , all possible germs -and the
fluid allowed to escape, but the
loose skin should be left in place,
as it forms a better protection than;
any artificial substance.
The most painful form of burn is
that which extends only as far as
the deeper layers of the skin and
scorches.-. the sensitive nerve -end-
ings which are there •situated. If
the burn penetrates beyond this
point, the nerve -endings are des
troyed, and the pain is consequent-
ly much lessened, but the loss of
tissue, is, of course, much greater,
healing is slower, and the scar is
correspondingly more noticeable.
In giving first aid to one suffer-
ing from a severe burn, especially
if there is a large surface involved,
it is important first. to pay atten-
tion to the general condition of the
atient. Paleness and shivering,
feeble and fluttering pulse, cold
extremeties, and, perhaps an ap-
pearance of stupor, or little sign of
suffering, are all indications of a
severe shock, which may produce
so profound an impression upon
the nervous system and vital cent-
ers as to prove rapidly fatal unless.
met with, prompt treatment. In
such a condition much can be done
before medical help arrives by
keeping the head low, giving suit-
able stimulants, wrapping in warm
blankets, and applying hot-water
bottles to the hands and feet.—

", It is a fact that we don't value
hen manure on the farm as we
should. Poultry manure is special-
ly valuable for the garden, and

a compost heap with feed for flow-
ers and'plants in abundance.
To start the heap, make a bed of

throw on this the droppings from
the poultry yard, carcases of dead
chicks, and refuse animals or vege-
table matter, cosering such addi-
tions with loam. tv ash-daysuds
should be thrown over the mass
each week. Two heaps should be in
a secluded place on every farm. It
takes about a year for a compost
heap to be well ripened, and no
new substance should be thrown on
a ripened heap, Before using,
shovel the mass thoroughly from
top to . bottom. Sufficient leant
should always be thrown over the
droppings to absorb the odors and
retain the fertilizing elements.
Fresh droppings should•never be
used aboutplants and flowers.
STOCK NOTES.
If you are overworked and forced
to neglect some important features
of work at this time, make plans
for reducing your acreage next
year, Newer acres well tilled may
result in barn nearer filled.
Pig pens and stables should be
kept sanitary. When not prevent-
ed,, flies will breed in stables and
pig lons, and cause yon much trou-
ble. Keep them clean. This will
be to . the interests of the animal,
as well as for the health of the
family.
Poor fences cause fence -breaking
animals. The barn lot and pasture
fences should be -substantial and
secure against the most active
animals. There should be, no temp-.
tations for fence -breaking. Notice
the weak places; and make the
needed repairs promptly.
It is well to remember that teams
and men can easily be overworked
and their oflioiency greatly, reduced,
There is mneh danger of getting
too warns, and of allowing the team
to become exhausted, and probably
pertcanentiy injured. Whatever
necessity there may be for work,
you cannot afford to risk this.
Take care of yourself and treat•
your team with consideration,
MILK AS A FOOD,
It is not strange that with the
world's experience, the value of
milk as a food is not yet half un-
derstood either among farmers or
townspeople? The city or village
housewife would scrimp along on
11. pint of milk a day when she ought
to take two or th.ee quarts simply

as a food, affording the largest
amount of nutriment for the cost
involved.
Chemistry declares that a quart
of 4 per cent milk contains as much
body supporting food. as three-
fourths of a pound of the best beef-
steak. Compare, teen, the cow with
the steer as a food producer. A
fairly good cow should yield 3,200
quarts. That would be the equiva-
lent of 2,400 pounds of meat. It
takes a good steer to produce 400
pounds of growth a year. Compare
the yield of food An his case with
that of the cow. Yet people will
pay 20 to 28 cents a pound for the
beefsteak and think they are gross-
ly ill-used if 10 cents a quart for
the milk is charged.

The Minnewasska carried part of
a menagerie on.hor lower deck for-
ward. This included a very fine
Bengal tiger. Members of the crew,
who wet et times to look at the
animals, noticed that the tiger was
in a bad temper. He walked back
and forth in his cage lashing his
tailavid snarling whenever the sail-
ors came near him. Frequently the
tiger hurled himself against the
bars with a violence that made
some of the crew who had berths
on the same deck very uneasy.
Bill Adams, an able seaman, ask-
ed one of the keepers what he
should do ±1 the tiger got loose ali
night and he met it on deck.
"Kick him in the ribs," said .the
keeper, "and say 'Chellow,' which
means 'get out' in Hindustanee,"
The keeper explained that tigers:
were very sensitive and a kick ix
the ribs, combined with an order to
get out of the way in Hindustanee,
which they understood, so humilia-
tad them that there was very little
danger from them. It was import-
ant, however, the keeper insisted..
to kick the tiger on sight and not
to delay with the idea of picking out
some particular spot. '
LOOSE TIGER CAUSES PANIC.
All went well until the Saturday
after the liner sailed, when shortly
after 5 o'clock in the morning it
was discovered that the tiger had
escaped from its cage.
The crew who were washing down
decks, formed themselves into a
hollow square on the hurricane
deck forward, under the directiop,
of the bosun, and held their brooms
and squeegees at "attention,"
ready to repel an assault, while the
men with holystones, fastened in
iron hoops at the end of long sticks,
stood in the van beside the bo'sun,,
who held the nozzle of the big salt
water hose ready for the tigerto.
make his appearance.
It was suggested that Bill Adams,
A. B., should search out the ani-
mal and kiek him in the ribs, but
Bill refused on the ground that
his seabogts were below in the
fo'csle. Besides he had forgotten
the magic word which would hu-
miliate the jungle king.
The excitement became intense
when roars were heard from the
lower deck. The ship's cook shut
himself: up in his galley, and pas-
sengers, waiting for their turn to
bathe, clamored to get in the bath-
room, but those inside did not be-
lieve
the story, and refused to clip
their allotted 10 minutes.
