• Something in the quickness of her ac-
ato his, '
tion makes him raise his head to look
at her. Catching the expression of her
eyes, he sees that they are full of pas-
sionate distrust, and at once reads her
thoughts aright. His brow darkens,
and, rising, he goes over to her, and
takes her hand in bis, not with a de-
sire to conciliate, but most =tenderly.
"It is impossible you can accuse me
of this thing," be says, his voice low
and angry.
"Few things are impossible," returns
she, with cold disdain. "Remove your
hands, Dorian; they butt. Inc."
"At least you shall be convinced that
in this instance, as in all the others,
you have wronged me."
Still holding her hands, he compels
her to listen to him while he reads
aloud a letter from the wife of one of
his tenants who has gone to town on
law business and who has written to
him on the matter.
Such scenes only help to make mare
wide the breach between them. Per-
haps, had Georgie learned to love her
husband before her marriage, all might
have been well; but the vague feeling
of regard she had entertained for him
(that during the early days of their
wedded life, had been slowly ripening
into honest love, not having had time
to perfect itself) at the first check bad
given in, and fallen—hurt to death—
beneath the terrible attack it had sus-
tained.
She fights and battles with herself
at times, and, with passionate earnest-
ness, tries to live down the gnawing
emptine-ss of heart that is withering
ber young life. All night long, some-
times she lies awake, waiting wearily
for the dawn, and longing prayerfully
for some change in her present stag-
nation.
And, even if she ean summon sleep
to her aid. small is the benefit she de-
rives from it. Bad dreams, and sad as
bad, harass and perplex her, until she
is thankful when her lids unclose and
she feels at least she is free of the
horrors that threatened ber a mo-
ment since.

Gerald Massey.
All night the min had fallen uneeee-
Ingly; now the sun shines forth again,
as though forgetting that excessive
moisture has inundated the quiet un-
complaining earth. The "windy night"
has not produced a "raany morrow," on
the contrary, the world seems athirst
for drink again, and is looking pale and
languid because it comes not..
"Moist, bright, and green, the land,-
seape laughs around:
Full swell the woods."
Everything is ric= for the welcome
drops that fell last night. "The very
earth, the steamy air, is all with frag-
rance rife;" the flowers Lift up their
beads and fling their perfume broadcast
upon the flying wind;
"And that same dew, which sometime
within buds
Was wont to swell, like round and
Orient pearls,
Stood now within the pretty flower-
etseyes.
Like tears that did their own disgrace
bewail."
Georgie, with scarcely any heart to see
their beauty, passes by them, and walks
on until she reaches that part of Hythe
wood. that adjoins their own. As she
passes them, the gentle deer raise their
heads and sniff at herand, with their
wild eyes, entreat her to go by and
take no notice of them.
Autumn, with his "gold hand," is

Tillage, as it breaks down the soil, al-

better the tillage the better the crop,

Wisconsin Experiment Station, says
that a soil well pulverized to. the depth

Anecdotes or the Isle George Mglithothium,
Chief Jost lee of Valeria.
A young lady spending a rainy even-
ing at the house of an old gentleman,
wanted a cab to take her home. Her
host started off to fetch the cab. "Do
let the maid go," said she. "My dear,
the reekl is also a, WOMan," was the
grave reply.
The man was the late George Higin-
aothara, -Chief Justice of Victoria. His
courtesy toward women was regardless
of rank or personal attractiveness. He
would. take off his hat to his cook, and
bow to her as graciously as than!' she
were a ducheas.
A man was trying to lead. a heavy
draught -horse along the street. The
animal refused to be led, and then the
man made several ineffectual attempts
to mount the refractory creature. At
that moment the chief justice came
along, seeing the man's difficulty, ex-
tended his band—as a mounting -
block.
The man put his foot in the hand
and mounted upon the horse's back. The
chief justice passed on quietly ; but to
an observer the kindly deed recalled.
the weeds of the master; "Whosoever
will be chief among you, let him be
your servant."
His courtesy made his manners good,
but it did not soften his sense of justice.

DOES IT PERFECTLY.
71 18 said that meats roasted, in the
electric oven have all the qualities of
meats cooked in front of a fire, and
they do not require basting or watching.
They are cooked more evenly and,
in less time, while retaining a Jaeger
percentage of the nutritious juices.
Bread is baked in the same apparatus
ideally. No culinary process is more
difficult than to broil in a first-class
manner. The coal stove is usually not
in suitable condition, and the gas flame
often ignites the hot fat and burns the
food. The electric broiler does its work
without singing tbe ofod, smoking it or
burning it. The escaping juices are col-
lected unspoiled in a pan beneath, so
that the cook can madily baste the
meat,
A 1300N TO LADIES.
The electric sad -iron is a boon alike
to the laundress and the housewife. The
current supplied to it by a wire keeps
it at a constant temperature, and thus
no time is lost in changing and re -
beating irons. One iron may be used
continuously and no coal or gas stove
as required. The iron never becomes
overheated; it 'always remains olean and
bright, and does not require wiping to
prevent the soiling of the fabrio.
Another blessing for the women is the
electric curling tongs. They can be at-
tached at a moment's notice to an elec-
tric, light wire and are heated almost
instantly. They remain at a constant
temperature as long as required, or un-
til the connection is cut off. All that
is necessary in the employment of this
contrivance is to remove the incandes-
cent lamp- from its socket, attach the
cord of the iron to the socket in place
of the lamp and turn on the current.

Mg.
aodern war ships and mercantile
steamers are nowadays equipped with
apparatus for electric lighting. Before
long their dynamo capacity will be
increased so that heat as well as light
may be furnished. One system of wires
will supply both, and the present costly
equipinent of steam pipes will be done
away with. It is expected that in Can-
ada, where coal is very expensive and
abundant mechanical power is afforded
by swift running streams, power sta-
tions will be established within a few
years for supplying adjoining territory
with eleotric currents for heating pur-
poses.
