I glance at the open ]piano, but I can- not bring myself to sit down and fin- ish that song. I had been longing to learn it; the Deanes raved about it, but I have had enough of it. It was unkind of Olive not to come -we could have had a plea- sant chat and drunk tea -together-Mary Anne has carried up the tea -things, the tea pot stands under the hideous dark blue knitted cozy on the little square table near the fire. I do not care to drink tea all alone. I wander away from the wiudow and round the room aimlessly, my hands clasped behind me, my long blue gown trailing over the carpet -the ugly old- fashioned room which is "my doleful pri- son this sixth. of May," as poor Ann Boleyn wrote in the Tower three hun- dred and fifty years ago. Not that this is the sixth of May. This is the sixth of March, and dear old Unala Tod's birth- day. Ile is seventy-two too --day. Not that 1 am, in prison here either. Nobody wanted e to come here -I came of my own free will. Indeed a great many people wanted me to come, Aunt Rosa among them, who thinks it very outre for a young girl like me to live in lodgings in London all by myself, and site objected very much to my coming up to town, even for the laudable purpose of improving myself. I know these furnished lodgings to be eminently respectable -was not Mrs. Wauehope bousekeeper at Woodhay Ma- nor when I was a child? -and I have promised Uncle Tod to be very steady, and not to go anywhere without the Deanes. "Why, Allio, you look exactly, like Mr, Millais's picture of 'Yes or Na.' " I turn my head. Olive Deane is stand- ing in the doorway, with ler gold•rimmed glasses on her saucy nose, laughing .at me.

I've been to balls and gar- 'clen+parties ` at the Towers and at Dun- sandle. They were enough for me." • "But you ought to be introduced into Society, Alfie. Yes, if X were a beauty, perhaps, and likely to make a sensation. But I'm not a beauty -quite the contrary; and, besides, it would be a joke to 'come out' at one - and -twenty.",- Eilinor is to come out next season, and then mamma will have three of uo on her hands," Olive says meditatively. ` "But Poppy is engaged." "Oh, yes, Poppy is engaged! And I'm gains- to retire into private life and take up aestheticism or women's rights!" Olive laughs, taking her cin of tea out of my hands. "I can't compliment yon on the beauty of your tea -service, Allie.You won't find it very lard to 'live up to' that tea-pot!" "Or the cozy!" I say, holding it up for her inspection. "Isn't it 'utter,' Olive?" "Utterly hideous!" Oiive answers, look- ing at, it through her glasses. "Why don't you throw it behind the grate andwork a new one for yourself in crewels on pea- cock velveteen, like what I am making for );Hiner?" I don't do crewel work; and, besides, I don't want to insult Mrs. Wauchope. She made that cozy herself." "So I should have supposed.

"Then why do you stay here; you ridi- culous girl?" "Oh, because I wouldn't give Aunt Rosa the satisfaction 01 going home before the end of the month!

We've got a gen. tleman-lodger at Number Thirty-three." ; "A gentleman lodger?" "Yes. He arrived about twenty minutes ago, with a black valise and a huge wooden ease." 'Who is he?" "I don't knew. Mrs. Wauchope never told us a word about him. She said there Vons nobody in the house but those two old maiden ladies down -stairs." "Well, he wasn't in the house then, I suppose!" Olive says, laughing. "What is be like, Allie? Young or old, dark or fair?" "I can't tell you that either. Young, I think, and dark; but I'm not surd." "Why don't you ask Mary Anne?' "She has not been up here since he came into the house." "'Then ring for her now, and we'll cross- question her," Olive suggests, with ani- mation. Olive is up to more mischief than I am, notwithstanding her spectacles. I ring the bell. "We need not expect her for ten minutes or s0," 1 saY; and, pending her arrival, we drift into talk about our einging-les. sons, of the concert we are to take part in with the rest of the pupils on the twenty-first, Poppy's bridesmaids' dresses, and e hundred other things. When. at last Mary Anne does make her appear- ance, we stare at her with a vague sur- prise in both our .faces. "You rang, miss?" she says, with a look of stolid inquiry. "Oh, yes!" Olive answers, in quite a sprightly way. "You wanted coal on the fire, Allie didn't yon?" Mary Anne puts coal on the fire pon- derously. Who was the gentleman who came in just now?" 1 ask, trying to speak with a gravity which might excuse the ques- tion. "Phe attics," Mary Anne answers, put- ting some finishing touches to the coal with her fingers. "What is his name?" Olive inquires, without a change of countenance. "1 forget his narne. We calls him the Count," "Is he a count?" "Oh, no -no more a count. than you are! But he's so dark and foreign -looking, and so short Like of money, we calls him the Count. Not that he's mean or that -he's as proud as Lucifer, and wouldn't owe anybody a farthing." "Then how do you know ho is poor?" Olive inquires with interest. "In course he wouldn't live up four pairs of stairs if he had much money to spare, for all he wants to be near the skylight!" , "What does be want with the skylight?" "He's an artist," Mary Aline answers, with such an inimitable air of pity, not to say contempt, that Olive and I aro ab- solutely afraid to look each other in the 1 ace. "Is he a photographer?" Olive asks in- nocently. "Oh, no -a painter! Anti a poor thing be makes of it, though the mistress do say that, if he worked at it, he'd make a name for himself.

The Cali: should always have the first or ' colorstruzn milk of 'the cow and be allowed to nurse the cow until the eighth or ninth "milking, when the milk is suitable for human footle' Feed often with small amounts to avoid overfeeding. Teach the calf to drink and feed whole milk for :at least three weeks, changing to a skim milk diet gradually. The amount of milk feed should be easefully regulated. A good Plan. with the normal calf is to give four pounds (two quarts) of whole milk three tames per day, fed sweet and at blood temperature. In the state of nature the calf gets milk containing about three per cent.' fat. Our domesticated cows have been bread in some instances to give nearly twice this amount. Milk that is too rich may canoe serious trouble from scours, and in feed- ing such milk care should be exer- cised to give limited amounts at the proper temperature. The feeding of whole milk should be continued for about three or four weeks, when the number of meals may be reduced to two per day. From one- half to a pint of skim milk may now be substituted for an equal quan- tity of whole milk. The amount of skim milk may be gradually in- creased and the amount of whole milk correspondingly decreased un- til, at the end of a week or ten days, milk - the calf is getting all skim Skim milk is a cheap feed for calves, but should be fed carefully in limited quantities and only while it is warm and sweet. Skim milk may form the principal diet of the calf for eight months or a year. Factory skim milk should alw!t,,s be pasturized to avoid the spree(' of tuberculosis. The best skim milk is that which is fresh from the separator and still warm. Experi- ments show that it is only one fourth as expensive to raise a calf on skim milk as whole milk. Two pounds of grain with the proper amount of skim milk equals one -pound-of butter. fat.. Buttermilk..- or whey may profitably be fed to calves. Grain for calves should.:%be fed first while the calf is quite small, with a little bran to aid the calf ill learning to eat- High-priced concentrates are unnecessary, and give no better results than corn- meal, oats and bran, ground bar- ley, etc., when fed in proper com- binations. At four to six weeks a calf has good teeth and can grind his own feed. A variety of feeds is advantage"rus and best results will usually be secured from mix- tu res. Thefollowing list may serve as a guide to the calf feeder in making steIccti'.ms or combinations to suit rrsnditioils 1. C'urnnleal gradually charmed in four to tux weeks to shelled turn with or without bran. i. Whole oats and brat!. 3. Whole oats and corer chop, the letter gradually replaced by shelled Cern in four to six weeks. el. Ground barley with bran or shelled corn. 5. Shelled corn and ground Kat - fir corn ur shorghum. C. Whole oats, ground barley and bran. 7. A mixture of twenty pounds of cornmeal, twenty pound;, of oat- meal, twenty pounds of oilmeal, ten pounds of blt,odlneal and five hounds of bonelneal, changed to corn, oats and brae when calves are three months old. S. A mixture of five pounds whole oats, three pounds bran, one pound cornmeal and one pound linseed ureal. The calf may be taught to eat grain by rubbing alittle on its mouth when it is through drinking milk. From this it will soon learn to eat from the feed box - The roughage for calves should iit'st be fed at ',wo or three weeks of age when the calf begins to eat grain. Good clean hay, either timothy, blue grass, clover or al- falfa may be used. Corn silage is an excellent calf feed when, fed in moderate amounts. Good pasture„ti is an essential after four tee.site, months of age, and if the calf is turned out for only a few hours each day at first, scours will be avoided. d--� In thirty years the production of petroleum has increasednineteen times, The fact that a mule didn't know any better than to kick you doesn't add to the enjoyment of your stags' in the hospital.
