He had In- herited se large fine farm from, his father, n: t , and was making a living on it, but it was not nearly as good a living, he felt, as Inc ought to be making: T•Ie had said many' times' that there was not. much money in farming, and Inc. believed it; but he was fifty years old, he kne no other business, so he had kep on. A few years ago the questio came into his mind whether thi ed the embodiment of a refined gen- unprofitableness was common to w t n s tiewomau, thorou •hly, justifying everything on the farm—whether e, t- t - re the respectful courtesy - Nurse Wortley bestowed on her. • Nancy at once offered to get tea !ready, butu, neat little handmaiden waisassuinmoned from th ''kitchen and fors/Vet firs . ti childish d vs o'•- ' self ad as the business appeared to b there might not be some depar went that was paying a little be ter than the others.

Nurse Wortley shook her comely head. "No, no, Miss Hamilton. Dr, Grantley tells me 'that you will study with the schoplmistress down in the village; so, between that and what I can teach ybu, you will have enough to do." Nancy's heart throbbed with gra- titude as she thought- of all her one friend's kindness, and ones again she determined to work as hard as she could, so that she might show him his charity was not wasted.. A '.week slipped by, and Nancy grew almost accustomed to her new home. She ' had commenced` her. daily studies at the school, and was in the first rudiments of her medi- cal education. Already the Trash county air, the peace and her eager desire 'to:pro- grass, had wrought a change; her eyes were freed from ;the dark marks of sorrow and anxiety, and on her cheeks a tiny shade of col- or was growing. The simple' village people wel- comed Nurse Wortley's' "young lady" warmly, and. fell in love with her sweet eyes ,an.i kind words. It was curious how soon Nancy had fallen into her proper place. She woe not altered from her. gen- eral eral bearing, but'one and allad- dressedher as "Miss," and looked upon her as their superior. At first the girl lived in some fear of discovery; but as the days pass- ed January melted into February, and blustering March superseded the last, and still she was' left un- disturbed, her fears vanished, and she gave herself up to the'enjoy- ment of her simple, happy' life, and to the further development of her studies. • (To be continued.)

According to a, London physician smoking has a worse effect on. some people in winter than. in summer, and Inc advises all smokers whp find their health and mental facul- ties impaired in' winter for no ap- parent reason to accept tobacco as the explanation, and to cut down their smoking: clueing : the colder months:.

A system of account -keeping w forthwith begun, - and. kept. up fo a year. , It disclosed some, unlook for facts. The farmed -found th his poultry -the: least considered and most carelessly managed de- partment of his farm—was yield- ing a profit far in excess of what he supposed anything on the place was paying. The sheep, of which - he had always kept a moderate- sized flock, came next. Like the chickens, they were bringing. him abetter profit than he bad suppos- ed: But his dairy, which'had -al- ways been considered the most im- portant element of his farm, and which included a large herd of cows, was barely self-supporting. The thought of this was discour- aging. Thirty years of milking and churning and pan -washing and ton hours, all for nothing! The truth was forded upon him that during all these years he had been living on 'his sheep and poultry and some few. incidental products, and car- rying on his dairy -to:. no purpose. However, it was not too late to mend. He determined to dispose of his cows,' and to increase his sheep and poultry—the.; things that paid. But an acquaintance, to, whom Inc told the -result of his moment keep- ing and his present resolution,. gave him some counsel. "Wait a bit," said' he. "It's of course wise to increase, your sheep and poultry, for you know'now that they pay you well. But keep. in mind how you Sound it out. Car- ry ar- ry:'your. account -keeping .furt1 er, sift still more thoroughly, and see if you aro not keeping some cows at a loss, while others are turning you a fair profit. A dairy of good cows, properly managed, ought not to' be a losing game." A record was now kept of what each separate cow yielded of milk and butter. This brought out the fact that some of the cows were paying very well indeed; but the number of those' that were only self-supporting and those that were' kept at.a loss was so great that it brought the profit on the whole herd clown to nothing.

The result is that the dairy now pays an -entirely satisfactory pro- fit. With this and his sheep and poultry -keeping, the farmer has prospered greatly. And all this prosperity, together with the mas- terly grasp upon his business which comes from knowing just what he is about, was made possible by keeping accounts. The experience of this farmer shots how important the keeping of farm accounts is to all. It matters not how large or how small the farm is; no really good business g can be done without knowing just what one is doing and . the profit that can be reasonably expected in each department. Even the ama- teur, who keeps only a few'hens and cultivates a little garden for home use, will find' it more satis- factory to be able to .compare the result with what it cost. The question is often asked how farm accounts should Inc kept. All that is necessary is to keep them so that' the disbursements and re- ceipts in each department can be readily seen, and the profit or loss easily figured. The simpler the sys- tem, . the better.'In the expense account should be.all the money, or its equivalent, that is q paid d out;. in the receipts account all the mon- ey, or its equivalent, that is taken in. The cash is very easily kept track of.

The terrific winds had stirred up the usually calm waters of the South Atlantic, sending out in all directions huge waves, verit- able mountains of water.

The long -boat; with seven. pairs of oars, the crew wearing life -belts, cautiously approached the danger- ous passage. A dash- was made. The next instant a big wave rose from somewhere, broke in the shoal water directly behind the boat, and hid it from view. A moment later it emerged half-filled with water, while two of the crew were strug- gling in the sea perhaps fifty feet distant. From the cruiser it appeared as if the entire boat -load was doomed.

In a mo- ment a -response was' received. Three minutes more and the mes- sage for assistance had been"atele- graphed from Key West to the Ba- bama cable office, from there flash- ed 'beneath the water to Nassau, where it arrived at the got rnment building over the telephoneodeThe complete passage took eight minu- tes.
