LDNA'S GOD -MOTHER. When Lena was born, the Ingest was called to perform the christening. The father's sister, Miss Helene, Lajoie, was present to offeciate as god -another, and. sifter her the baby girl was namea— Lena. For a While all continued to go Well. Other children were born, and there was happiness in the little French- Canedian theme, THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER. But gradeuully a etrange transforma- tion came over the another, Her anotheily effeebion yielded place to neg- lect of her children and indifference concerning the welfare of the home. In eime she became addiebed to bad habits, and the .Lajoie home, which hael once been the dwellieg place of that howl - Imes unalloyed Which pervades many pleasant homes of French Canada be - eerie the abode of unhappiness and gloom and filth. But ,IVIra. Lejoie's ;rand was not unbaltutced, as Mealy ;rave suppose], Lajaie's relatives bit- terly resented the woman's actions and were not backward in making their dis- pleaeure -known to her. 'lees eircum- state led te the wreaking of the home. Of• all the children little Lena bare the elosest reset -nab -nee to the father's people. Moreover, her features were very similar to those of her aunt, after Aim she had laeen tanned, and who& Mrs. la.joie hated with a titter hatred, as Miss Helena Lajoie had been wipeci. ally strong in her denunciation of the life the mother was leading. Mrs. La - j ole planned that revenge would be hens. ,She would wreak vengettnee up- on her little daughter Lena, whose face brought to maind Litjoites people every hour of bhe day, end weio bora the name of this detested aunt.

Never once in those long four years, (Lettere the neigebors, was she seen peering on the street. After completing her work she was usually beaten by her mother with tt stick without the slight- est provoeation. On one -occasion one of the little boys out his toe very badly and this event occasioned great excitement in the household, In the midst of the melee the mother espied Lena, sitting on the steles, as she had been ordered to do. Seizing the ehiel she gave her a thraeh- ing from which she dul not recover for several days. "I didn't lick her half hard eeough," said. the .mother to one of the emghbors who expostulated with her for so abusing her own offspring. After the elald had been eviepped she was always tald to "sit on The stairs and not say a word," or as a more severe form of punishment, to kneel on the stairs without support- ing herself by lier hands on the wall.: WARNING OF NO ,A.VA-Tet.

The other ehildren had rude beds at uiglit but Lena slept upon the floor, The child was so famished that she used to pick up the meat bones which had been thrown into the back yard and ravenously devour the little shreds of meat left on them. Frequently she gained access to the flour -bag at alight and ete the dry flour to satisfy ear hunger, The mallet discovered, this and suspended the tete of flour by a rope from the ceiling, beyondthe girl's reach.

It is the invention of a Frenchman of Lyons, and has a pair of cylindrical floats, a propeller.and a rudder. On leaving the water the cylinders and nautical gear are lifted up so as to allow the wheel to run on the ground. The cyclist can then pedaehis machine in the usual way. As the cylin- ders can be made of thin sheet metal, they need not be heavy. In the Water the xnachine makes 'five or six mines an hour. - The floats, which end in a conical paint, are attached to the bicycle frame by jointed supports so that they can be raised and lowered as desired, and can be fastened in place when the cycle is on the road. For operating a propeller a rubber covered friction wheel is em- ployed, which is behind the tire of the rear cycle wheel, the small wheel's motion being transmitted by a bevel gearing to the propeller shaft. By using the proper combination of gearing the propeller can be reversed. . A small ladder is mounted at the front and is eraitrolled by a rod passing from the faint cycle fork into the water. The two cylinders are breeea across by a rod in the rear of the machine. 'The amphibleyele as constructed at preaent weighs about 270 poentie and is about eight feet long and three feet six inehes wide. The cylinders are aboutone foot In diameter: Let Us Help You To Solve The Healing Problem Our advice—our recont. mentiations—and our estimates of the cost of a complete heating system— are given absolutely free of charge.

April was an unusually wet, and cold mouth, and early sowlog was hindered. The first half of May WS also unfavorable to faun operations, and as a coesequeuce spring sowing wa$ very backward et the end of that month, However, a general 'rainfall about the 17th of Tune, followed by *warm weather, sent growth along with a bound, and spring crops were fast approaching nor- raal conditions. Fall wheat—At correspondents wrote, fall -wheat was heading out, being about a week or ten days later than usual, While SoMe correspondents speak of the likelihood ot a large yield, fully as many describe tee fields as 'being thin or spotty on low-lying or undrained soils. A considerable area was pleased up, and more wraild have been but for the wet condition of the ground, end the fact that grass had been SoWn with the wheat, Malty (4 the patchy spots were mown with barley or oats. Taken on the whole, the June prospects for fall wheat are decidedly better than those of Near, Clover—Hay, like fall wheat, will be very variable in yield, ranging front light to heavy, even in the same locali- ties, but the present outlook foe' the crop is more favorable than that report- ed a month ago. Now meadowhave done much, better than old ones, and clover is reported to be relatively ahead of temothy. There has been practically no complaint of the Midge. The poorest accounts concerning hay come from tee St• Lawrence and Ottawa counties and the Northern Districts. Cutting will be fully a week later than usual. Reports regarding alfalfa are practically unapt- imous as te the vigorous growth of that crop. Spring grains — The bulk of these have been sown a week or two later than ordinarily; in fact,some eats. and bale ley were being put in as late as the 10th of June, and cornewas being plant- ed even later. Some correspondents out that the spring conditions of 1907 were somewhat similar so fax as la:te- nese is concerued, and that ,very fair yields were given after ale Were spring weeat, barley or oats failed to catch, or were not got in, the following were used as alternatives: Buclewheat, eon, rape, peas, beaus and vetches; while some preferred to summer fallow. Spring wheat—There has been a "o- ther decline in the acreage of this mope but where grown is looking well, con- sidering late sowing. .Barley—About the average area has been given to barley, It had a late start, but is now makiug splendid growth, with prospects of a good yield, should favorable weather continue. Oats --Some correspondente claim a de- creased acreage for oats, while others hold that it has been increased. & good average is the probable area. Though late, the crop looks well as a whole, al- though rather thin in places. Peas—The lateness of the season pre- vented the sowing of some cereals, and led to a larger acreage being given to peas. The crop looks promising, and less is said about the "bug" or weevil than fax years. Buckwheat, Buckwheat is being *planted more largely than ever this year In nearly every part of the provinee, mainly as an emergency erop, owing to. some cereals being crowded out by the lateness of the spring. Corn.—Ontariofarreers appear to be depending more upon corn than former- ly. The area has been considerably en - healed this year. and the only draw- back to the 'situatfon is the latenesss of planting; in fact some were putting in corn in the third week of June. What wa,s up when eorrespondents wrote look- ed Well, although even then some com- plaints were being made of the grub. Beans.—Like other field crops, beans have been planted late. They have come up nicely, however, and were looking well when correspondents reported. Tobacera--Owing to the land being so wet, tobeeco was not planted until a week or two later than usual. The pietas were rather small when returns were, made, and there were reports of the crop being attacked by grubs, Potatoes.—Very 'few early potatoes were got in, but late planting has been vigorously pushed, end in a number of counties the acreage will be greater than last year. The season being a week or two later than usual, the vines were not of average size when returns were made, but the otalook generally was favorable, although the bug was beginning to ap- pear in large numbers. Roots.—Roots were sown on the late side, and were only showing up when correspondents wrote. Turnips were promising well, although many fields had been purposely held back in order to escape the louse. efatigels are eot doing so well, and some patchy places had to be resown with turnips, Where grown, sugar beets were looking wen, Fettle—Blossoming was late, but full, and there hes been a more general set- ting of feuit than in ordinary years. Apples will likely turn out satisfeetor- ily, for although early varieties will be scarce, the more valuable wilier Yuri& Hee promise a big yield. Pears will be only fair. The latest reports regarding peaehes pet the probeble yield at med- lute; in some places the trees have been attaeked by url leaf. ?leans are likely to be a full crop, taking the province as a whole, although in some of the St, Lawrence and Ottawa counties a number of trees are said to have been "blasted."

Mr. Pereivale was alone, Illtere was no ether horse or hunter near to divide the lion's attention. This,•per- haps, may wooled for its very unueuelly rapid and deadly attack, liciey was attacked by three lionesses, near the Rock. The only provocation he had given them was that two hour; before he lied shot the lion of the band..

The three SEM 1uiu from It distamie of .quite two bemired yards, and pressed lum herd for a quarter .of a mile. He was riding the saute fest mule that I rode, and so outran them. There are ane or two thing); that any man riding lions would do well to re- member. First, ibis not well to follow a lion or lions into cover if you are on horseback, not even into thin (toyer. Once you have oltased a lion, it is very different from the beast, that rapidly slinkaway froxn you, when you are hunting on foot. In this 'last cal° it instinctively knows it can get away if it cares to. In the former it finds you have its pace, and, resenting that, will attack with de- termination. The second lion Hoey and I rode had every chance to walk into - the impeentrable stronghold of the river grass if it had wanted to. The grass grew thickly not twenty yards from where the Hon was first hie But it did Itot want to do• anything of the sort, and, angered by the long, hard chase, cast ail idea of further retreat behind and came boldly away from the oovert Secondly, the man who does the shoot- ing must dismount without delay or hesitation. He must quickly choose his pace, fixing it le his mind as he gallops up—if possible, a spot from which he cen eon -muted the lion for a few yards every way, and on which he atie plump down. If there is .no such plat*, of course, he must stand up and shoot. All dela.y is dangerous. Get the beast before it. rushes in. 'Any cool hunter can knock a sbandieg lion out with one shot at one hundred yards or less. No living man can be sure of hitting a eherging, snerling embodiment of death. —Dr. W. S.

Experiments made by Baron Henri &Michela, a French scientist, have re. tilted in proving that the well meet practice of affixing straw hats to the heads of homes for the purpose of pro- teeting them gom the sun's heat not only fails to aecontplish Its purpose, but" actually aggravates the suffening of the ahimals. Tb(s experiments were made when the temperature of the atmosphere WAS 79 degrees in the shade. Bareheaded horses Mending in elle suti were found to have tesnperature of 86 under their fore. locks. When straw hats were put on them, their temperature under the fore- locks roe,e to 103. A horse moving in the sun had a teinperature of 83, Under a strew hat the temperature fose to 61, and under cloth to 100. Teo explanetioa is that the coveting prevents the free movement of air said striate to tureteettlate heat, The head eovering for horses should be discarded, therefore) and relief should be given by frequeitt sponging of the head, Ince dentally, tho result of these experiments teaches, Iogieafly, tiatt human beings, too, would be better off hatless on hot days.--Alhaity Journal.
