Felix Lonsdale ltad tried his best ; he had done hard battle with his sorrow—tire sorrow that had come to him while the summer moon was :alining and the corn stood ripe in the fields. He had done hard, fierce, terrible battle with it. It stood there ever by his side; no one had de- tected it yet—i;ts presence was a secret from every one except himself. It stood ay the table, and made the sight of all food loathsome to him ; it stood by his book.( and papers, and its dark ebadow made -them all Illegible to him—he read no words rave these, that 'cleat was false to aim ; it stood by his pillow rich lolover— you give up my love and would not let brim sleep; for gold ?

She CHEESE BOXES. Strong and Well -Fitting Boxes Needed for the Trade.' Dopar -anent of Agriculture, Commissioner's Branch, At the dairy conventions recently; held, N.r. J. A. Ruddick, Chief of the Dairy Divielon, Ottawp, made a etrang appeal for better cheese boxes• Boxes are, said he, necessary; to protect the cheese from injury in transportation, le facilitate their; handling, and to permit their being pilee several tiers deep in a ware- house without being crushed out of shape. - Without the boxes the cheese could not be delivered in Great B(rit- aitt in a presentable conditton. Now, if it desirable to have cheese in boxes at all, it is surely import- ant that the box should be strong enough to reach its destination in a sound condition. A great many; shipments of cheese axe landed on the other 'Ade with twenty-five per, cent. of the boxes broken. indeed SOME, reports from the inspectors show) a. larger percentage. I.\etta simply means that one quarter of the money paid for the boxes has been spent to no purpose. A.nd that is not all, for the broken boxes in a shipment, while detracting from the actual value of the cheese wdtich they once contained, make the whole lot lees attractive to the purebteeer. What are the reasons for this un- satisfactory state of affairs? Ina the first place we have increased the weight of our ebeese, and at the same time reduced the strength of the box by using thinner veneer and an inferior quality of elm. 1l is evident also that there are many boat makers, wluo have never properly •learned their trade, au a large pro- portion of the boxes are only bait put together. 7"ne inercasing cost and scarcity of elm, and the demands of cheese manufacturers for a cheap box, have induce(! the veneer cutters to reduce the thickness of the veneer, until mush of that nowt offered for Bale is entirely too flimsy for the purpose. It should never be eut leas than full five to. the inch• A great dual of it is six, or some even seven, to the mete he were always suffering Another fault in the veneer al that mortal -pain ; , 1 ring hie ugh; the log is often not boiled sttttfi- froni his voice, from hie laugh ; ciently to soften the wood: cense- he wee an altered man. lion* girently the veneer knife shatters it he worked !
