Indeed, when after a quarter of an hour he finds her in the conservatory and claims the fulfillment of her promise, it is with the utmost bad grace she places the very tips of her fingers neer h's r and looks impatiently toward the ball- room.

"Yes," -absently. "And, for this time of year, how won- derfully mild it is! Not in the least cold, as one might expect." "Yes -no -is it not?"

OntheFa To Feed Hens Proper It takes ' considerable s and experimenting to find ,o what the hens need, and how they, ought to have, but' we 1nu learn as soon as we can, or we 'evil find our poultry is not so profitable as it ought to be. The feeding question is one of the most import- ant in the whole poultry business, writes Mr. K. A. Grimes. Experts tell us that a hen needs about six ounces of food per day. A flock of ten, thein, will need about, 3% pounds per day, or a trifle over 26 pounds a week. Of this amount, ' two-thirds by weight should consist of grains. The grain should be a mixt'}zre of equal parts fdheat, cracked coma and oats, A .iefv handfuls of sunfletwer-seed, cane -seed or buckwheat should be added for variety. They ' arts, to the hen what pie is to the boy, c4nd you know what that is. the country which has produced Wren and Inigo Jones. The ,present front was erected soon after Queen Victoria's corona- tion, and cost $750,000. At the time of King Edward's accession $259,900 was spent :.in the �'-enog?t•jskn; of the interior. Geof'ge IV. never inhabi- ted the building, and William 'IV. offered it to Parliament when their houses were burned down in 1834. The gardens, which cover 40 acres, are unsurpassed in London for beauty and extent. William IV. flatly refused to live in Buckingham Palace, and Queen Victoria resided there only a few weeks in the year, preferring Os- borne or Balmoral. Whe n House the Palace was built it was not in- tended for a royal residence. George III. bought it from the Dowager Duchess of Buckingham. The other third should be; mash, which is a, mixture of bran and other finely ground feeds, r usually fed dry. Some poultrymen moisten the mash, but the majorityt, claim that it is better to feed it dray and let the hen moisten it in her 'crop by drinking what water she waits. If fed dry there is less danger fr ', certain kinds of disease. A good formula for a mash is as follows: One-half bushel of bran, four quarts of alfalfa meal, two quarts each of ground oats and cornmeal, one tablespoonful of salt and one tablespoonful of pepper. A good way to give green food for a change is to hang a head of cab- bage by a 'string so the fowls ea just reach it. The exercise is goo for them, and they will thoroughly enjoy the feast. Or a large beet` carrot or turnip may bestuck o a nail driven about a foot from th ground, for them to pick at. Sue food should never be thrown: dow in the dirt.

There was a terrible explosion, and the shoemaker was blown out through the door almost to the middle of the street. A passer-by rushed to his assist- ance and after helping him to rise, inquired if he was injured.
