As a matter of fact. there was nothing for her to do. Littimer had already tired of his lady secretary Wee. and had Chris not interested and amused him he would have found some means to get rid of her before now. But she did interest and amuse and puzzle him. There was something charmiogly reminiscent about the girl. She was like somebody he had once known and cared for. but for the lite of him ho could not think who. And when curiosity sometimes got the better of good breeding Chris would baffle him in the most engag- ing manner. Really, , you aro an exceedingly clever girl.' ho said. "In fact, we are both exceedingly clever," Chris replied, coolly. "And yet nobody is ever quite so clever es he imagines himself to be. Do you ever mako bad mistakes, Lord Litt inter?"

At that time Reginald Henson had a kind of home which he wax running at 218 Bruns- wick Square, Brighton. Lady Litti- mer had just relinquished a similar undertaking there. Previously Regi- nald Henson had a home at Hudders- field. Mind you, he didn't run either in his own name, and he kept stud- iously in the background. But ho was desperately hard up at the time in consequence of his dissipation and extravagance. and the money he col- lected for his home went into his own pocket.

The cheesentaker, if properly quali- fied, is a very importaut man in the conununity.

By snaking the sheep fat in the shortest time possible and killing them as soon as they mature, you make the beat and soundest wool. A weakened constitution predi- sposes to disease of any kind, but there is no evidence that docking allects sheep in that way. Cure maladies if you must, but above all start right, and bend your energies to learning how to keep right. If any profit is to be derived front keeping sheep it must come from the flocks whose owners have an eye to maintaining a good average condi- tion. Every man who owns a flock will find it an advantage to keep an ac- count with it by which he is able to tell just what his returns are in wool, mutton and lambs. Finish the sheep before sending to market and thereby secure your own profit, while at the same time giv- ing the consumer a reason for claim- ing that mutton is an appetizing and wholesome meat. A small flock of sheep can be kept on almost any farm with very little inconvenience, and with a little care be made to pay a handsome percent - ago on the capital invented. In watering sheep in winter it is an item not to have the water too cold—fresh from the well is hest— and then to give them plenty of time to drink, and if they run around a little first, all the better. always pay fending and Curing Consumption When SCOTT'S EMULSION makes a consumptive gain flesh it is curing his consump- tion.

Coughing in pigs may be caused by worms, but is usually the result of dusty sheds and pens, and is frequently a symptom of hog chol- era, .in such cases the cough taking place as soon as the pigs aro stirred up; then, again, cough is quite com- monly due in pigs to small worms (filariae) found in the air passages (bronchi and lungs.) It is often caused by the pigs sleeping in damp quarters. or piling up at night and becoming overheated, and this brings on a cold, and with it a cough. The pigs should have dry, clean, com- fortable sleeping quarters, with not too many together in cold weather, and if the yards are free from dust there should be no coughing. For intestinal worms in pigs the best remedy is santonin and calo- mel. This mixture is liable to kill SIGN OF THE PAWNSHOP. Recalls an Event in the Life of a Church Saint. Of the thousands who patronize "uncle," few there are who know the meaning of the sign that hangs over his shop. The three golden Lille which pawnbrokers have adopted as their trade -mark wore used ty the Lombard merchants when they set- tled in Britain. The sign was used then to show that money cou;d be e borrowed --at an exorbitant rate of interest. These merchants were sent to England by Pope Gregory IX. to lend money to persons who were un- able to pay the "tenths" or tithes which were collected throughout the kingdom. They carried on their trade in the street which to this day bears their name, and to such a pitch did they at last carry their ruinous transactions that they were expelled from the country in the reign of Elizabeth. The three balls are the symbol of Saint Nicholas. There is a legend to the effect that the saint once offered three purses of gold to three woven to enable them to marry. The purses of those days were small hags, whtcb, when tied et the top to keep in the coins, somewhat resembled balls. LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE. According to a well-founded rumor, the Dominion Government will dur- ing the present session be urged to impose a customs duty on grades of fence wire which are now on the free list. That such a tax would prove an unjust burden to the farmers of Canada there is no doubt. In the older parts of the Dominion the old wooden fences are being year by year replaced by wire structures, and in the Great West, which is rapidly being settled. practically all the fencing is being done with wire in one or other of its ninny fornix of construction. Were the kinds of wird most in use for fence construc- tion manufactured in Canada, there might be some excuse for imposing an import tar:, but since there are practically no factories for making it in operation in the Dominion. whom could such a tax benefit? That the price of fencing material would be raised to practically the extent of the duty there can be no doubt. This would mean that a duty of 25 or 80 per cent. would impose en extra tax of $150 to $175 on the fencing required for an average farm. Nor would the rural convnunity suffer only to the extent of an increased expense to those who the pigs if one should get an over- have to fence. but a great deal of dose. and care must be used. Like all other strong medicines, both the santonin and calomel must be carefully used. The user must compute carefully the exact amount for a dose for each pig to be treat- ed, and nut guess at tete amount given. 1f a certain known number of pigs are to be treated, the exact amount needed should be bought, or the druggist asked to weigh out a sample dose of each ingredient. The dose of this mixture is: i'or a 40 to 50 pound hog, four grains of santonin combined with fifteen grains of calomel, administered for three consecutive mornings in the slop before other food is given. l'or smaller pigs three grains of san- tonin and ten of calomel will be sufficient. It does not matter so much how the medicine is given s,0 that each pig gets its share. In case the first or second dose purges considerably, let a day or two pairs before another dose is given, and slightly decrease the amount of ca- lomel.
