,Sir Hubert managed to stammer—
"When can we see her?"
"As soon as she wakes from

With this reassuring statement
they had perforce to rest content.
The medical men were about tip take
their departure when Brett inter-

"There is yet another patient

The doctors hurried off, and it was
not long before they were able to
make a satisfactory report concern-

'The fracture of the ulna is a
simple one," said the spokesman,
"and will become all right in the
ordinary course of nature. But
what happened to the man's face?"
"He settled a slight,dispute with

eatieg Talbot, who was leaning with
his head wearily resting on his
hands. The accident to Edith had
utterly- unnerved her brother.

CARING FOB, THE. PIGS.
In order that we may take, proper
care of the young pigs, it is neces-
sary that we know about what time
to expect them
I have made it a rule to keep a
record of the date on which the
sows are bred,
By reference to my record I find
that my sows farrow from the 112th
to 115th day from breeding.
Some claire that en old sew wilt
go longer than a young sow, but I
bred a yearling, a two-year-old and
a six-year-old sow all en the. same
date. These three sews all farrow
on the same day,
I like for my sows to be into a
thriving Condition when the pigs are
farrowed. In fact, I like for them
to improve in flesh during the. en-
tire period of gestation.
Some people are afraid of getting
their sows too fat, and I suppose.
that they can be made too fat, hart
they ought to be in goad #3esh.
They should have a surplus laid up
for the snekling of the young pigs,

down to the elaiay to witness the de-

The reception of the party in Lon-
don may be detailed in a sentence..
The Turkish Ambassador was spe-
cially instructed from Constanti-
nople to take charge of the dia-
monds, and Talbot had the keels
satisfaction of personally handing
them over to the Sultan's repre-
sentative, in the presence of his
chief at the Foreign Office. The un-

when lie asks for a holiday often he

Then, many farm boys are denied
