of 4he ccvillzed world; and opprosite, ris-
Jng sharply against the yellow even. ng

In ono of the lonely nild:lle paths, an
old gentleman in a light spring suit,
with a black bund on hts arra, was

When the general had gone to his
room, atter tea, she rtteppee out upon
Lhc tiny balcony, which hung, like a
swallow's nest, over the little court.
And involuntarily the eeveet dercan9
came hack, as she listened to the plasfi-
ing of the fountain below. Far, far
away from Rome, in her distant home,
het thoughts were busy; she could see
it so plainly, the house with the clear
gable window. And ho would pardon
tier, he mould be sure to, when she
told him what had separated them be-

certain. He could not forget her any
more 4han she could forget him, for
their love was too true, too real. Ah,
happy future, what will you bring?
Gemnna's soft voice called her back to
the present. She was excusing herself,
she had quite forgotten, she said, that
a letter had come for the signora; here
1t w•es, ani she also .wished to know
if the signora would wish to go to bed
at once. She, Gemma, wished to know,
for she wanted to go to the theatre—
she had had a ticket given her by the
Signor inglelse on the first Boor—and
"if the s+:gnora does not wish for any-
thing mora this evening—"
"Oh. to be sure; you can go." re-
plied Lora pleasantly, going toward the
lamp with the letter.
The girl quickly cleared tho table,

Lora shut the door behind her, then

in the sofa, and opened her letter.
Mb at once she turned deathly pale,
and eat bolt upright. She sat motion-

SHEEP ['AY !BIG PROFIT.
A correspondent says :--A well -feet
flock of sheep is the most profitable
property a farmer can own. It is sotne-
tirree said that the dairy cow Le this. 11
that be true tt•hy is it that the manlier of
sheep has in^rtnsed over 3,000,000 in
Great Britain in the Inst few years, until
now there aro over 300 sump to every
snuure mile? Sheep raising is looked
upon by many as a primitive industry
suited only to poor lands and undo-
vek.pled agriculture. It sheep were
suited roily to rough and waste lands,
why is it that in Great Britain the tenant
leeks upon his sheep as the surest rent -
payer on land that is tt•olt11 from $300
to 5500 per acre.
Wo have always advocated that any
fainter can keep a small Iku`k with satis-
factory success. Fuilt.res in the keeping
of ehoep invariably happen Ur having
ton large a flock to begin with, for if one
k able to keep successfully a small
fleck, vttich any person with good judg-
ment may do, there is no reason that he
can keep a thousand with the sante suc-
cors, for in all arts appertaining to
a e thereso . i no branch rel' l►
�.. d'ur . t to become proficient in as the shep-
herd's art. This does not apply to shoe)
alone. Let any man overstock the capa-
city of his farm with hogs or cattle, and
disaster is suer to follow.
in my thirty years of experience in
the sheep business 1 have always found
that my sheep have always made mo
more profit for the feed consumed and
the stock. I have made 150 per cent. pro-
fit on grade ewes raising early lambs for
the Easter market.
Sheep, in fact. turn into money in
aureate; ways: Firs6 is the meat, who-
ther nuns hot -house lambs, rib wethers
.n fat cares that have raised several lots
of lambs; then there is the wool, which
Is commanding a good price and which
is harvested in the spring of the year,
;;.3 to speak, when the fanner has the
least to sell from any other source.. And
last, but not least, is the oonstant im-
provement of tho land, which sheep with
the grold4l hoofs and rich manure never
fail to bring to the tired and wornout
cultivated field. Sheep aro the 100 per
cent. profit animal, whether they bo
grazing on (to Ozarks or on the rich
and rolling fields of the prairie.
1! you have never ..ad any experience
in the business, let me warn you 10 go
easy and buy a few ewes and figure on
Improving 1n the future. One of the
principles of success is to raise each year
lambs that are better Individuals than
their !leathers. Have your ideal. You
know the ones that answer to the ac-
cepted type and your ileal. Study your
fleck. Yon know the ones that raise the
Lest lambs and shear the heaviest fleece,
yon learn to discard the coarse hoed, the
heavy ear. the loiig leg, the cloudy wool
and dark skin.
Hold on to the ones that eonform the
nearest to your Ideal, and t►e most es-
sential and important part is good care.
As someone has said : A wise shepherd
feeds his Iambs a month before he sees
them and the foolish shepherd a month
afterward.
I emit to Impress upon the minds of
all that in my experience the one essen-
tial and most importanti
arlafit
thing
to ren
lem-
ler to make the sheep profitable is care.
Care will make constitution, cam w•Ibl
ward off disease, care will make size,
caro will save feed, care will make fag,
and fat makes more) and better wool.
Caro will convince any man that tJhe
sheep Is the 100 per cent. profit animal.
Inti should be done at periods as near as
12 lomat apart tie practicable, and at
the same time each day.

A London's Ex -Waiter's .Bequest of

After the death of Mr. Oscar Philippe,
who began life as a wailer at the Ca-
vern' Restaurant in Leicester square,
London, and some years later purchased
the place out of his "tips," there was
cxarsiderable speculation as to the dis-
posal of his fortune. The secret is now
out, for the will has been prow -d. it
is a very brier document, es there is
one legatee only. This is Miss Julia

a fortune. Iiow much he made no one
can say, for although a single man and
of most frugal habits he gavo very
largely to charity.

BALI. DRESS OF STAMPS.
At a ball 1n Bermuda a wonderful

of it over 30,000 stamps were used,
says the London Daily Mail. Years
were spent in collecting the stamps
and three weeks in the making of the
e!ress, which was of the finest muslin.
The woman called upon her friends to
help her, and the, dress was covered
with the stamps of all nations. They
tv re not put on anyhow, but in etab-
crate design. On the front of the bo-
dice was an eagle trade entirely of

in regard to animals. the simplest and
best known case in common experience
is perhaps that of the blue Andalusian

varieties bo mated together, all tha

generation may bo called pure bred—
that is, in certain definite respects no
trace of the cross will again appear is

This issue, though it has a rather dif-

flit same as in the case of the peas, and
proves the existence of a deep -tooled
law that will revolutionize the science o

sbuered for practical purposes certain.
After vast numbers of experiments. chief-
ly with plants, but also web poultry,
mice, and other animals, a number of
characteristics --such as the shape of the

beurdiness in wheat, perhaps eye ou'•or

The Mendell law Is of course by no

experiments are still in their infancy.
Still, the Cambridge biologists have
turned out a wheat which combines the
strength of the Manitoba hard grain
with the yield of the softer English
wheats. it is maint..ined that the value
of til. English wheat crop will be Ln -

fully 82.50 an ncre. This is only one of
