Sir Henry had w lth forethought brought
downa supply of wine and liqueurs, partly,
no doubt, out of kindness, and partly with
due regard for his own comfort. The valet,
Mr. Watson, welted upon us with a solemn-
ity that almost chilled my veins.
He had an eye that scented to be
perpetually occupied with estimates and
measurements. I ant sure before the dinner
was over he had thoroughly satisfied him-
self that the carpet had been turned a
second time, and eat it had not been orig-
inally planned for the room.

Low Prices,
There are changes every day in the price
of articles used for the world's foodor
manufacture. These obengee arise immedi-
ately from olroumstanoee of temporary sup-
ply and demand, The farmers around a
city, for instance, bring one day into mor-
ket an nnueuelly large amount of eggs or
apples. The pride of eggs and apples goes
lower at once. If only hall the expected
supply comes in, the prioe will rise.
The eamerule governs e, year's average
prices. The wheat ,farmers have a bad
noon ; their orop is much smaller than the
average, But the eame number of people,
approximately, need the wheat for bread.
The supply being less, the prloo rises. If
the Drop was larger than usual, the price
will fall ; unless, as happened in 1891, the
crops in other countrlea have been very
small.
In a series of years, still other oausee ere
at work in chaugingpriees. If the rent of
a farmer's land is high, the price of his
wheat, too, must be high in order to give
him a profit. If the labor employed to

price of the goods must be more than a
dollar.

at least to have been to Paris, to London in
the season, to Cowes during the Regatta
week, to Moot, to the Highlands, and to a
number of other places, with all of which
he was eminently familiar.
Feeling bound to somehow stop this flood
of conversation, I quietly reminded him
that my father's stipend had put an annual
Continental tour beyond his reach.
In the most airy and graceful manlier
possible Sir Henry assured me that money
was a stere trifle, that my father's position
would soon be most materially improved,
that some other clerical preferment was a
certainty for him, and that with a wider
field histalentsc0uldnot possibly hut assert
themselves.
"Your father," he went on to say, "Inas
hidden himself too much, and has net done
his own great abilities justice. But he isstill
in the prime of life and fully able to make
his mark. And," he went on to add, " I
am now speaking to you, dear Miss St.
Aubyn, with your father's permission, and
indeed at his express wish. He Is most
anxious to resume his fitting position in
the world, a position distinctly due to his
birth, his connections, and his great natural
Rifts. Ent his first and one thought is fee
yourself, and he wishes you to understand
that in every step he may take under my
guidance, or with my assistance or other-
wise, the one and only object nearest to his
heart is your own welfare and happiness,"
Here he stopped, and I had to reply as
best I could, end without consideration.
Of course I hal sense enough to know what
the whole titin' meant, but what was I to
do ? I was es thing
as the daughter of
Jaime or as Iphigenia herself.
I remember feebly saying that I loved my
father dearly, that I'tee aware his abilities
hadnever found a pr ar field, and were
placed on the table a large box of cigars and
a small silver spirit -lamp. I took this as a
signal for my departure, and after excltang•
ung Glances with my father and returning
Sir Henry's bow, aoted upon it. I was not
sorry to get away, for Sir Henry, although
beat not stare at me, eyed me, as it were,
round the corner, and with such persistency
as to make me extremely uncomfortable.
Mr. Watson with many apologies begged
me to permit him to make the coffee himself
as he knew exactly how Sir Henry liked it.
He performed that task lo a marvel, and
returned from the dining room with the
welcome intimation. that my father desired
me to be told that I r, eed not sit up. This was
hut too pleasant news for moonlit I hurried
off to bed, Mr. W atson handing memyeandle
with the most profound gravity, and asking
me If a cigar in the servant's hall would be
against the rules of what he called " The
Rectory." 1 reassured him on this point,
and in a very few minutes was sound
asleep.
Early next morning I was up and about.
The sitting'roo n, where we had banqueted
the night before, had t0 be arranged and
decorated with fresh flowers. Of these I
managed to get together a sufficient allow-
ance. Mrs. Jupoins had been very liberal,
and se had the rhackers. 1 also scalded a
bowl of milli, and made some fresh clotted
creast in the most approved Devonshire
fashion.
The delicate sulphur -tinted primrose was
thick on every hedge bank, and I adorned
the table with its blossom, and with some
violate which grew in a treasured nook of
my own.
This exhausted my own resources. From
Mrs. Juogins and Mrs. Thacker I procured
a few more flowers, and, what was far more
important, a young duckling and some

TEE CREAN UATIEBEB,
Bei if new and cheap land Is thrown
open to the farmer, and if newly invented
machinery will save half the expense of
making a piece of goods, the wheat and
the merchandise can be soli for much low-
er prices.
The tendency, therefore, naturally is to-
ward a continuous fall in prices, and the
all has in feet taken place during this
nineteenth century, and especially during
the last twenty-five years.
It is one of the most interesting among
such facts (het the smallest fall in price
during the last quarter-century has been
in articles such as butter, cheese and eggs,
which are affected less than most Oom-
modities by the opening of new lends and
the inven' ion of labor-saving machinery.
Yet there are other causes still which
work on prices, and which furnish a topic
of greatest controversy among poUtieab
economists, This year's low price of wheat
—the lowest in modern years, anti barely
talc what it was in 1850—is yet by no
means the lowest in history.
Five oenturies ago, the English record
tells us, wheat sold atless than one-third of
this year', price. In that sale century
prioes so curious to us prevailed, as half a
penny for beef, twelvepenoe for a " fat
lamb," fourpence for a pig, and twopence
for a hen.
The times when these remarkable prices
rated were not tinter of 010108se and suffer-
ing, So far as the ruder civilization of the
oentury &allowed. they were times of con-
tentment aol plenty. All the authorities
agree that the reason for such low prices
we,, that actual money, for purposes of ex-
change, was scare. Hence prices were low.
In this century not only has the supply
and distribution of coined money vastly in-
creased over those of earlier centuries, but
the use of bank cheeks has made it possible
for the same amount of money to do far
more extensive work in trade exchanges.
Yet it is curious, even nowadays,to see how
unnatural conditions may reproduce, in a
different scale, the some changes in money
supply and prices,
The question how far changes in price
during recent years have been due to per-
manent changes in the money supply, the
coinage and the currency of the world's
various nations, is too complicated a subject
to discuss here, Marty divergent views of
the question are entertained, and political
economists of high repute have differed
widely.

quires familiarity svitlt the principles of

venient for skimming the cream from tho
top of the can. If the skim milk in drawn
from the bottom of the can, a strip of glees
should be soldered' from the bottom up-
wards, so that the cream can be seen
when it reaches the bottom. Tip
the can a little so as to allow all
the skim milk to run out without taking
any of the cream.. We would suggest having
a bottom with three inches slant to carry
off all sediment that may be at tine bottom
along with the first skim milk. But for
general use we would recommend skimming
from the top, as there will be 'condiment
in the cream. Where the cream has been
forced up in 12 hours there will be more
inches of creast than If the same milk was
allowed to set for 24 hours, but the yield of
butter will he about the same per hundred
pounds of milk. Where the temperature
of the milk cannot be lowered to 45 degrees
wo would recommend setting the milk for
24 hours. The per cent of butter -fat in
the cream depends on the amount of skim
milk in the cream. The depth of cream on
the top of the can depends on the per, cent
of fat in the milk and the temperature to
which the milk has been °soled. There
will be more cream or milk containing 4
per cent. butter•fetthen ea milk containing
3 per cent. There will be more on milk
cooled to 42 degrees than on the seine milk
cooled to 60 degrees.
As an educator for dairy farmers we
knots of nothing equal to the Babcock milk
tester; which is 0hnple and easy to operate,
and would strongly recommend ell dairy
farmers to have, in some way, their individ-
ual cow's milk tested (also the skim milk).
as we know there are a large number of
unprofitable cows fed and kept whichshould
be dt0(33seI of. Etch cow should give
at least 0,00010. milk, which should make
about 250 lb. butter per year. The skim
mil's should be tested that the farmer may
know whether he is getting all the cream
out of the milk. We have frequently tested
skim milk from farmers showing from 1 to
over 1} per Dent. of bniter•fat,wlicil means
a loss of about 26 per cent. of all thebutter-
fat in the milk, or in other words a loss
of from 20 to 23 Dents per hundred
pounds of milk. No expensive creamer
is necessary to gat all the oream out
of the milk, so long as you oan
maintain the proper temperature, as it
is the temperature of the water about the
milk which does the work and not the
creamer into which the Dans or pails of milk
are placed. Any ordinary box or barrel
which is clean and will kohl water, will do
the work as efftoiently as the most expen-
sive creamer made.
Where shallow pan cream is taken to a
creamery the milk should be set in a clean
cool room at a temperature of 60 degrees
and lower, for 24 hours, but no longer, as
all the cream will be top in that time and of
a better quality than if allowed to remain
longer, as the cream being exposed to the
air in warm weather becomes thick and
tough and will not run through the strainer
at the oroamery, which means a loss

throughout the oountry which are

is the most important point about butter.
Buyers look for flavor first If the flavor is

be submerged in the water to protect it

dairy.
(Some of 0111 best CTeat000150 refuse to
