time is long ago, very long, as the
life of women counts, and Xenia Sa-

own emotions, if emotions she ever

ment tell whether the past is ten-

terly forgotten, or is only recalled
to be touched and dismissed without
regret:. He is a vain man, bat van-
ity has no power to reassure him
here.
In the warm afternoon of the next
day the children are in the school-
room, supposed to be preparing
their lessons for the morrow ; but
the German governess, who is alone
as guardian of order in the temple
of intellect, has fallen asleep, with
Sties buzzing about her blonde hair,
and her blue spectacles pushed up
on her forehead, and Dodo has tak-
en advantage' of the fact to go and
lean out of one of tiro windows,
while her sister draws a caricature
of the sleeping virgin from Deutsch-
land, and the Babe slips away from
his books to a mechanical Punch,
which, contraband' in the school-
room, is far dearer to him than his
Grades and rule of three.
Dodo, with her hands thrust
among with
abundant locks, lolls
with half her body in the air, and,
by twisting her neck almost to dis-
location, manages to see round an
ivy -grown buttress of the east wall,
and to espy people who are getting
on their horses at the south .doors
of the building.
"They are going out riding and
I am shut up here 1" she groans.

laughed coming home frau church.
The sound of the horses' hoofs go-

voice and her laughter cease,

says the French governess, entseing
at that moment, "Ou done mettez-

"Nous ne sommes pas des b,eu'-

haughtily.
The Babe, sitting astride e n a
chair, trying to mend his mechani-
cal Punch, who screamedand. beat

he adores his princess; he tv,.iild
like them to live together, and he
would go and see them without his
sisters, who tease hint, and with-
out Boom, who lords it over him.
Into his busy and precocious little
brain there enters the resolution to
pousser la machine, as his gover-
ness would call it.
The Babe has a vast idea of his
own resources in the way of speech
and invention, and he has his mo-
ther's tendencies to interfere with
other people's affairs, and is quite
of an opinion that if he had the
management of most things he
should better them. He has broki:n
his Parisian Punch in his endeavor
to make it say mine words than it
could say, but this slight 0,0610re
'Zees nob affect his own admire t.h n
and belief in his own powers, any
more than to have brought a great
and prosperous empire within mea-
surable distance of civil war affects
a statesman's conviction that he is
the only person who can rule that
empire. The Babe, like Mr: Gla,i•
stone, is in his on .1 eyes infallible.
Like the astute diplomatist he is,
he waits for a good opportunity; he
is always where the ladies are, and
his sharp little wits have been ere
terraturally quickened in that at•
mosphere• of what the French cell
"rocker feminine."
He has to wait some days for his
occasion. The frank and friendly
intercourse which existed ab first
between Blanford .end Mete Saber-
offas altered; they are never alone,
and the pleasant discussions on
poets ansl poetry, on philosophers
and follies, in the gardens in the.
furenoon are discontinued, neither
could very well say why, but the
presence of Gervase chills and op-
presses both'of •them and keeps them
apart. She has the burden of meal
ory, he the burden of suspicion ; unci.
suspicion is a thing so hateful and
intolerable to the nature of Blan-
ford that it snakes him miserable
to feel himself guilty of it.
But one morning the Babe coaxes
her out to go with hien to his gar-
den—a floral republic, where a cab-
bage comes up cheek by jowl with a
gloxinia, and plants are plucked tap
by the roots to see if they are grow-
ing aright. The Babe's system of
horticulture is to dig intently for
ten minutes its all directions, to
make himself si ' the faa'e very ret in
and then to call •'Dick, Toni, or
Harry, any uneler•gardener who
may be near, and say, "Here, do
it, will you?" Nevertheless, he re-
tains the belief that he is the cre-
ator and cultivator of this his gay -
den, as M. Gi'evy believes that Ise
is the chief perso_, in the french
Republic ; and he takes Mme. Sab-

SIlPERIO'IIITY OL CANADIA.l
RAINriS,
The Canadian Banking system is
so totally different from those of the
older countries of Europe that new
comers to this country are often
slow to realize the advantages of,
the facilities it offers in doing busi-
•ness.'
The Traders Bank of Canada have
recently undertaken an Education-
al campaign for the purpose of ex-
tending to new Canadian citizens
and those who have Dome over from
Europe the advantages that the
Bank should be to theta and ex-
treme simplicity in their r"'ethods
of doing business.
The Traders Bank point out that
any man that goes into business
should have a chocking account in
their Bank. All money that is re-
ceived is deposited and paid out by
cheque. In this way the Bank real-
ly keeps track of a man's finan••ial
natters for him, anal with their
Savings Department for accumulat-
ed sums of money where they pay
a handsome interest on idle funds,
and their facilities in the way of re-
mitting money by Bank Drafts,
Money Orders, and the issuing of
Travellers' Cheques for people re-
tu.ining home, are advantages that
every man should know about.
Although not the largest Bank in
Canada the Traders Bank ]Sas As-
sets of over forty-five
millions, and
over one hundred Branches in Can-
ada. Their financial strength and
reliability is beyond any question.

MILKING IiICK.ERS;
It is a disagreeable undertaking
to milk a kicking cow, as many a far-
mer's boy, or hired man will bear
witness. In fact she is an animal
that is most generally despised by
every one On the farm, and many a
good milk cow has fulled her way
to the butcher for being a kicker,
when if she had had the proper
training or had peen broken to
milk in the right way and at the
right time she would _have been
worth twiee as much for dairy cow
as she would for necf, writes Mr.
L. G. Johnson. •
-When a heifer has her first calf,
then is the time and only night time
to teach her what ,s is to be milked
and teach her the all-important les-
son of gentleness. At this period
when her calf is only a day Diel,
she is likely to -be a little nervous
and only knows what nature has
taught her. When you take the
calf away from her and begin milk-
ing her she naturally thinks there
is some kind of danger pending, and
will begin to use the weapons that
nature has provided for her to de-
fend herself. The way I break a
heifer to milk her is by simply treat-
ing her kindly and yet giving her to
understand that 1 ant her master.
I always milk her first where she
can see her tall. 1 tie her to a
postor something that will held
her NO site can't rim away from inc
and then give her something to eat
and at the same time I will rub and
pet her until she becomes gentle.
Then I take a cup or small pail in
one hand while I milk with the
other, all the while keeping lip close
to the animal's side tsitlt my left
shoulder pressed against her. Dur-
ing the. operation I go about and
act in a happy-go-lucky way. as
though it were an everyday occur-
rence with her. By so doing you are
not so apt to excite the animal and
a young cow or heifer is not likely
to kick unless site, becomes vexed
or excited. However, this plan will
not always work and sometimes it
will be necessary to manage her in
different ways. If. however, she
will not submit to kind treatm _nt

The Master Wats "Misled

Some ,years ago a remarkable oe-
ourrenee transpired at Rile, which
is very ,near to Monte ()ar•k« A no-
torious habitue of the Casino,, who
had made his money principally
there, had set up an English vehi-
cle, a pair of horses, "tiger" .and
all, and cut quite a swell driving in
the neighborhood, says 'Mastro,-
alone. One day Ire' was riding in
the environs of the town whoa his
servant, sitting upon the raised
box behind, who had been feeling
somewhat uneasy at ' not receiving
his wages for soma time, seraiug Ills
master quite •lone, ventured to
ask hies through the hack window
if he would not make it convenient
to pay him. The master . was in
good berme and asked
A PACKK OF CAII:DS.
, "How much is it, La Fleur 7„
' "One hundred and tweuty-five
livres; may it please you, monsi-
eur.".
"Very well, here it is," said the
master, spr•eaclieg the Burn in paper
currency upon the seat of the vehi-
cle. "Now, La Fleur, have you a
pack of cards with you?"
"Certainly," answered the obse-
quious lackey, "I always carry
them, monsieur," producing the
cards at once.
"That is well. Now, I will be
banker and you shall play against
me. I will take the front scat, the
back one shall serve for, our table,
and you. can look through the back
window.
WON THE WHOLE SUM.
The lackey .assented to this,
amused at his master's condescen-
sion. Leek was rather en the
master's side, but both men became
quite eager in the game,, thinking
of that, and that •only. Little by
little the footman's money went,
until all that was left of his wages
was 5 livres. He hegain to feel
anxious, when suddenly his luck
turned, and he won the tvhol.e stun
back, with every sou his master
had about him.
