course, she was. wrong to humor the

As she, entered the hall Jessie came in
by the' back, door with her apron full of
eggs. _

stood, geing through the form of drying
her thick but small boots against the
hugelog that glowed on the Wide dog -
Iron.
"Yes; that is a splendid 10t, ;resale!"
She said, with a smile. "You will have
some to send to market for the first time
this season."'
"Yes, miss," said jeasie, deftly roll-
ing the eggs in the basket. "But I'm
thinking there won't be any need to send
'them to BrYnderrnere market. Jason's

Ida's face ilnshed. and -She looked 510-

protested against the idea oe selling the
dairy produce to the new people at Brae
Wood; but Sile struggled against the
feeling.
"Oh; yes; why not, jessie?" she said;
though she knew well enough.
"Well, miss," replied Jessie, hesita-
tingly) and with a questioning glance at
her young mistress's averted face, "Ta -
son didn't know at first; he said that
selling the things at the new house was
different to sending 'em to Inarket and

might think it was not beceraing."
Ida laughed. .

An anecdote by Mr. Stephen Gra-

Meeting an aged peasant driving an
ox. team, Mr. Graham asked where
the highroad la}.
"There is no load," said he.
Iathought the answer to be 'stu-
pidity, so I asked him id which di-
rection Otehenichiri lay. By the
lest milestone it was only eight
yeasts distant, I could do that
without a road if I could be sure of
the direction.
The roan led me to his cottage,
climbed on the roof, and bade tile
follow. Then he pointed out the di-
rection.

'They don't come."

"But surely in sixtdr-four years

My map made no impression on
the old fellow. Ile pointed to the
inside of hie house, and indicated
that I could spend the night there
with the pig and the chiokens if I
liked. As .for people coming over,
there used to be a wooden way, but
it -was washed out to sea long ago.
I sew he did not know the Rea-

wooden way -was the old bridge. I
asked -where fide had been.
.My would-be host was not offend-
ed by my pertinacity, and he told
me quite explicitly the way to

Alasi it WaS as he eaid. I found
all the foundations of a substantial
wooden structure, but no cross-

I walked disconsolately along the

' KILL ILIA.T FLY:

Mos't of lbs treat him with a philos
sophie tolerance,regarding him as

tieularly deadly to rising children..
Whenever the summer months are

ing the middle period of the year
besng due akaroet entirely, to Ills

The summer of 1911, it wilt be

Ln consequence, flies were very
plentiful, and the infantile mortal-
ity in London, England, rose from
a normal 173 per 1,000 per week to
630 Dar 1,,000.
. During that year in England ancl
Wales 38,647 thildren under two
years of age died from cliarrhowl
diseases, and it is sale to assume
that to large majority of the vie -
biros were niocculated by flies with
the fetal bacteria; for inthe fol-
lowing year, when the weather was
-
cooler and flies less abundant, such
deaths zumbered only '7,445.
