He was sitting by my side at the

from the paper to my face and back

was while he was searching for some
particulars relating to his agent at
Malta that my heart bounded at the
sight of Aline coming across the
gang -plank, followed by a good-look-

people were still down in. tbe saloon,
doing justice to the farewell lun-

both so far as I knew' entirely un-

have failed to embark. All my mind
was concentrated on. getting the

and knowiag that Zavertal was
practically in charge of the passen-
gers, and would be aware whether
any special circumstances called on
me to wait for the tevo truants, I
ran down to consult him.
In the last few days while living
on board had got very chummy
with the doctor ; and, deciding to
draw the "home cover" first, though
hardly expecting to find hire there, I
did not hesitatein my haste to open
the door of his cabin without knock-

when, crossing- the threshold, I not

I thought, that of Mr. Vizier& who
I had just been informed was not on

I was still more astonished to See
the doctor, quite alone, engaged in
unpacking a parcel of drugs.
"I thought' I heard Mr. Vizardts

friendly smile. "I expect he is

ROQUEFORT CREEgE.
About the famous Roquefort
eheese, the following legend is told z
A shepherd lad, baying more lun-
cheon than he could eat, laid a,
large portiou of his bread and
cheese upoe a natural shelf in one
of the caverns near by. Ile forgot
all about it until several months
later, when he found the cbeese, in-
stead of being dried up or rotten,
was rich, moist, creaeny, and streak -
with greenish -blue veins. He shared
his piece cif cheese with others, and
the villagers were quick to recoge
nize the improved texture and qual-
ity. Henceforth all their cheese
were taken to these caves to ripen.
The eaves are now owned by a
company, who employ six hundred
woraen to tend the cheese.

Silk is obtained from the shell-

found in the Mediterranean. This
shell -ash has the power of spinning
a viscid silk which in Sicily is made
into a regular and very handsome
fabric. The silk is spun by the
shell -fish in the finst instance, for
the purpose of attaehing itself to
the rocks. It Is able to guide the
delicate filaments to the proper
place, and there glue them fast, and
if they are cut away it can reproduce
them. The Material when gathered

HORSE TALK.
If for any reason erou can not ex-
ercise your driving horses regularly
and still do not wish ,:to turn them
out for the winter, substitute wheat
bran for a good part of the grain
ration.
It will make them more quiet and
keep them from becoming feverish,
and still they will be ready for use
and a full grain ration when needed.
They should have some exercise
every day, however, either in a pad-
dock or by the halter.
Thorough grooming and plenty of
rubbing go a long way itt keeping
the hair glossy and short.
If your hoise is very .warm on
"coming 121 the stabie put on a blan-
ket, and when he•has steamed out
take the blanket off, which will be
found to be wet, and put on a dry
one; after giving him a good rubbing
with a twist of straw.
- Never leave a wet blanketen all
night.
Rub the legs dry.
Feed light at the morning, feed
light at noon.
Oneehalf of the grain ration for
the day should be fed at night.
Give plenty of bedding and bave it
well shaken up and clean.
If your horse has a tender mouth,
use a large, smooth bit.

A 1rencl scientist accounts for the
fact that snakes are seen by those
suffering from delirium tremens; as
follows: "The minute blood vessels
in the retina of their eyes are con-

pear black and are projected into
the field of vision where their
movements resoinble the squirming -
of serpents." But the sufferer from
