"Yes, take care otme, mother." --- CHAPTER VI. News of the accident that had occurred at the disused shaft of the bridge pit was quickly bruited all through Lealstone, and naturally came to the ears of Au- ditie. For two or three days it never oc- curred to her that the fearfully erushed body that had been found could be that of her unfortunate suitor. One day when Mr. HtinS013, her brothe 's agent, was speaking to her. she heard for the first time that the body was unrecognized; that it appeared to be that of a man quite unknown in the district, and no one could give any clue to his identity, Audine, in llama exclaimed. "Can it be Signor Castalettie" Mr. Hunson caught at the idea. In great oonfusion and sorrow she told her story, and then found, to her terror and dismay, that be would. be obliged to see the body and denlare whether it was that of the Italian or not. She told ot Godfrey's con- nection with Castaletti, and Mr. Hunson considered that Mr. Neville's deposition would be enougb, and the poor child be spared the beaming terror of such a sight. Mr. Ranson lost no time, He found Godfrey, and they went together to the house where the unfortunate man had been laid, but he was totally unrecog- raizable. His clothes were different from those he had been in the habit of wear- ing, and instead of recognizing his friend, Godfrey rather inclined to the belief that it vvas not he.

She put out her hand; he drew baok suddenly, and a rod gleam shot into his eye, elm did not move; another timid advance, and she fouud herself rubbing his great brow between his suspicious wild -looking eyes. By and by he moved lazily away, and began cropping the grass. Audine sat still, and wondered how the was to get home Though the fele a very friendly feeling towards the buli, she dared not cross the park alone in bis so- ciety. He seemed quiet enough now, but by and by the gnats would come out; they were already beginning to assemble in Little active clouds, and, some of the thinner -skinned cows moved and tossed their heads restlessly. Audine's relief was great when she saw the cowman arriving to tak.e in the cows that were ready to be milked. and she saw in his hand the long pole with a hook at the end, with which he was ao- castor:ma to lead the bull. The manes face turned as white as ashes when he caught sight of Audine, but she signed to him not to speak to her till his charge was secured, That done, bis terror and thankfulness poured out in words: "Oh, Miss Audine, I am tbat thankful! He had escaped, he had, from the small field. Broken right through the fence, he had: he's that wild," "He was very gentle with me," said Audine, comforting the man, whose teeth were chattering with terror of what might have been. Tbe bull looleed rest- less and fierce, and the man led him off at once; and Audine, now that she stood up, feeling a little shaken, started to re- turn bome. She had not done with the cows yet; they came with her, pressing to walk by her with their solemn faces. She walked on, proud of her body guard, and occasionally obliged to aoold the pre- sumptuous white-faced cow, who would not, keep her place. Godfrey Neville saw her from the gar- den thus strangely accompanied, and in one moment had come down, leaped the railings, and joined her.

"How good you always are to me, aunt Mary," said Audine, busily arranging the bulrushes in tali ;cased, "They are just what I wanted so much. Do get me some warm water, Burnie, to revive tbe leaves." Burns left the room, and Mrs, Neville came up to Audine, putting her arms around her waist "Kiss me, child!" she said. Audine threw aside her flowers, and gave her what the children call a great hug. Mrs. Neville looked at her for a moment with an anxious eager look, as if she was about "1 DO:OT TErilt SO AT Aiaq" Saari seta. to say something; then seopping, she made a hauled rendezvous for the next day, and lett the room, just as Barna re- turned with the hot water. • Audine looked surprised. ruler who allowed his wife to sit on his throne with him. Mitsu-Hitu not only allowed, Ira insisted that Fusaka should. remain by his side and he has frequently deferred to her in matters of judgment. In 1889 he declared himself no longer absolute monarch of Japan, Ile estab- Balled a constitutional government with "parliament" or "congress" and asked assietance in, governing the people. He is said to have done this because he noticed that women were afraid of absolute monarchs and did not enjoy their society as they did those of less arbitrary tastes. Another thing done by the Emperor was the establishment of the Woman's Hospital in Akasalta, Tokyo, He made the Empress the patroness aud takes great pride in utaintainiag it; in the most scientific manner. It has wards free to the poor as well as pay war& for wealthy people. The Emperor, while wishing to bene- fit women as a sex, is very fond of them personally. He has his standards of beauty aid desires his favorites and the women of his kingdom to live up to them. For one thing be dislikes the stained teeth aid sbaven eyebrotvs of the Japanese women, and has compelled the Empress to whiten her teeth and allow her eyebrows to grow. This style is spreading throughout japan until you may look among the better class for is loug time without seeing the blackened teeth arid defective eyebrows of 30 years ago. The Emperor is fond of athletics for women. He has placed a gymaasiura in the palace and has purohased a riding habit for the Empress. She was the first woman in Japtin to ride horseback. When the dowager empress died in Feb- ruary the Emperor expended $700,000 burying her, and so elaborate were the ceremonies that they lasted twO whole days. The Emperor is the first Japanese who had his wife sit dowa at his own table, aaikado and Princess eat opposite one another and are served with the same dishes and eat tlee same food. Notioing that a distinguished and beautiful American woman visiting Japan ate with a knife and fork, His Majesty learned to use these implements a,tal now his "English dinners" are served with knife and fork. His usual diet, though, is taken with the chop- sticks of the Orient. On this occasion he also noticed the superior height of American women, and on inquiring the cause was told that it was probably the fish a,nd flesh eaten by Christians. With- out committing himself in' so many words, his Majesty intimated that a few extra inches added to the stature of the women of Japan would not 'Ware their beauty and lamented that the Buddhists prohibit fish and flesh, thus giving his court to understand that an infringement of the laws would not cause their instant dismissal. This was undoubtedly a.pro- vision of His Majesty for future genera- tions, for it is several centuries before She stunting effects of a lack -meat diet are overcome. The Emperor is the greatest living patron of the Japanese arts. Learning that a great deal of poor trash was being exported from Japan as Japanese "works of art" wad hearing that women of other countries purchased them, he prohibited the sending out of inferior material and ordered that only fine work go from Japan Now when you buy the poorly - wrought inexpensive japaisese candle- sticks you may be sure it came from some domestic factory that turns titian out by the hundred •fresh ,every hour. But the lovely inlaid ohinaware comes direct from Japan's shores. The Emperor, while the greatest living composer of poetry, writes largely upon one theme—the glory of women and the bravery of the Japanese men who go forth to war with the images of their sweethearts and mothers in their hearts. One of his principal themes is the 11111 - press Jingle who vas a Japanese warrior • before the time of Christ. She conquered Korea and hurried home to have her child born on Japanese soil.

This fly, which is smaller than the houses fly, congregates in colo- nies about the base of the horns, alone up the back and sides, at tender points about the fireaks and udder and ou the belly. Thfe fly sucks blood from cattle and so irritates them as no doubt to retard the laying on of flesh with beef cattle and the production of milk by milk cows. Many substances have been recom- mended to ket-p away the flies. The Mississippi experiment station recom- mewls two parts of cottonseed oil or ash oil and one part pine tar. This sta- tion applied this mixture to 850 head at a total cost for Material of $2.20. E'en -wow emulsion has also been used, sprayiug it over the cattle with a knap- sack sprayer. The flies are killed by the molt -den if it touches there. The (mull- siou may be made by mixing at the mato of a pint of soft soap (or one-fourth pound of hard soap dissolved in boiling water) and a pint of kerosene in 15 pints of water, thoroughly whipped toad churned together, .At the Indiana eXperiroent station We have tried different substances to keep away the flies. NM° of these were effective over two or three days. We have secured satisfactory results by us- ing a quart of fish oil in which was mixed about two tablespoonfuls of crude carbolio acid. Fish oil costs 00 cents a gallon in Lafayette. These liquids are applied on the body with a Rat paint brush about four inches wide. Fish oil is especially disagreeable to flies, and is probably largely used in special prep- arations scat at high -prices. There is One objection to using any form of tar, in that it makes the hair stinky, which accumulates dirt and so gives it a bad appearance. Stockmen would do well to break up the manure in the pasture whenever possible, as the flies deposit their eggs in it, from wleich the young are devel- oped. If the manure is gathered up or broken to pieces within eeclay or so and if remedies to keep off the flies are ap- plied to the cattle, the insects will dis- appear early in the season.—Bulletin of Pardue Experiment Station. Where Rape Will Grow. For several years we have grown rape at the Indiana experiment station, but in no one year in such an entirely suc- cessfol manuer as is accomplished farther north. During the seasons of 1893, 1894 and 1895 the months of July and August in central Indiana were hot and dry. Rape planted at the period usually reconnia ended would not develop vigorously, and poor stunted plants would eke out a miserable existence even in the cool of the autumn. I have been impressed with two points in connection with our rape: First, it has not made the robust growth of that growing at the Wisconsin station or in the fields of Canada, reaching with us a height of 15 to 18 inches and not being very heavy of leaf; second, after being eaten back, it has not sent out new shoots in a satisfactory manner so as to furnish a fair amount of successive pas- turage. In Wisconsin the she'sp are alraost hidden in the rape. A reference to the Wisconsin station report for 1894 shows illustrations of rape growing with great Inxuriance, filling well between the rows and presenting much leaf surface. Here in Indiana the foliage is much less robust, and one can move about the fields between the rows without rub- bing against the plants scarcely at all. am impreseecl with the idea that the reason of this unsatisfactory growth is due to our being too far south to en- tirely succeed with it. The summer heat of the sun represses the growth of She plant. Our soil is fertile aud good; and the cultivation has been of the best, so that I dornot conceive the fault to be here. I am told that it has been well grown by Mrs. Busick in Wabash county, Vehicle lies but a shoat distance north of us, and I notice that a Mn. Lewis adver- tises rape seed which is grown in north- ern Indiana. Still, 1 ara under the ira=\ pression that rape cannot be profitably' grown in the lower two-thirds of Indi- ans.—C.

From the Woodstook, N.S., Sentinel, Mrs. E P. Ross, of Riley Brook, N. De says: "I have been a, sufferer for thirty years, and I am sure I would. still be in the sante lamentable coodition had it not been for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I was married at the age of twenty and am now fifty-orte years old. I had always enjoyed, good health nutil after any first child 'WAS born. About a month later the illness attaoked me which has since made nay life Miserable. I consulted different doctors, but they did not agree as to the nature a my trouble. One eaid it was a species of paralysis, others said symptoms of fits. I would be feeling very well when I would suddenly have a sensation of partial bliaadness, and everything before me would sparkle. Then any band. and arra on one side would become numb, and after about ten milautes this sensation would pass to any lower limbs. then nay tongne would became affected, as would also my hearing. Voices, no matter how tease to me, would seem dim end far (May. These symptoms would last foe about forty minutes. I would have is violent pain over the eyes, which would continue for twelve hours or more. Notwithstauding all that wae done for me, these spells were eoraing more fres queutly, and at last I would sometimes have two attacks a day. 1 was also troubled with bronchitis, whieb added. to my misery. I could. not sew or knit, or do any work that required close ate tendon to it. All this trouble had never left me for years, and at the age of 48 consulted another doctor. The medicine he gave me, however, made me worse instead of better. Then I was advised to try Dr. WilliamsPink Pills. I was using the third box before I found any benefit, but then there was is deckled aline. By the time 1 used twelve boxes felt as well as I did. in, myyoung days. Every symptom of the trouble that had so long auntie any life miserable had dis- appeared. For eighteen arsonths I did not use the pills and. was as well as ever had been in any life.
