It may require decision to part with animals that. have been bred and reared on the farm, but it a test in- dicates that they are not up to the standard they should bo disposed of at once. For rearing calves for the dairy or for steers, skimmed Milk will serve and a mixture of equal ports, by weight, of wheat bran and ground corn and oats, with ten per cent. of oilmeal is good. This should be fed dry and as soon as the calves will begin to eat, which will be about three weeks old, good clover hat should also bo before them all the time. The hog is ono farm animal that is kept for the money that can be made out of hip,. Not so with a horse or a cow. These may be necessary, even though there is no profit in thee,. 110%"1•0 REPAIR A FENCE. Jones kept fowls, whereas Dixon kept a garden. Jones did not think touch of Dixon's garden, and Dixon's opinion of Jones's fowls it is not within the scope of this journal to print. The fence was dilapidated, and a long, wordy warfare had waged as to who should repair it. Dixon had repaired it last; but Jones decline•I to do so now. His chickens were getting ton plump on Dixon's good garden stuff for hint to interfere. Then the gardener resorted to strategy. He erected a row of nests in his garden, put a nest -egg in each, and after a few days the hexa found theta out. '!'hen Dixon put a nice "New -laid eggs for sale here" notice in his window, and a beauti- ful basket of eggs beside it. Within two hours of Jones reading the notice the fence was repaired. 4 SQ('lt IS LIFE,. And so they %were mnrritsl.

"Regina, my dear sister, what 'stills fel I me?' But she sobbed on. ''Regina, you alarm and distress me What is ibis?" But she sobbed on and 1 sat down by Iter side, took her hand and pressed it, while I waited silently for her to tell Inc the subject of her grief. \\'ilei her fit of tveeping had expended fleet she lifted up her head, dried her eyes and, after remaining silent and still fo a little while, she said: "You think me now sentimental maudlin, sickening. 1 feel that you do 1 am not that. I never was so. You ought to know it." "I do not feel it my dearest sister and sentimentality is the last fault i should suspect you of. I know that you are strong, cool and spirited—there- fore i have been the more surprised and distressed at your tears this night. I know that it is natural. -nay, genet.- ally inevitable—that a girl should drop some—not very bitter tears -011 biding good-bye to her maiden life and liber- ty; but i had scarcely expected to see you do so, inasmuch as you have less le regret, and more to hope for, than most young maidens similarly situated —nevertheless, 1 suppose these 'natural tears must fall!" said 1, gently caress- ing her. She replied mockingly: "Alit it is quite proper for a bride to 'veep then?

Feeling loo deeply interested in my sister's emotions to indulge. even for five minutes, in this tempting subject, I turned, stole my arm around her waist, and said gently: "I[egina, my dearest sister, to -mor- row I will scarcely have a right to do this," and i gathered her to my bosom and pressed my lips to hers. "To- morrow, certainly, 1 shall have no right to question yonr happiness, or the stale of your affections; do riot, there- fore, be proud or cold toward me. like your worse self; and do not be srrees- Pc, bitter, or satirical toward nle, for that is not like yourself at all.

In the far Last, in the near Fast and in the middle East diplomacy and ex- isting treaties, including, as Mfr.

There is no likelihood that Europe or the western world generally will find itself compelled to form a coali- tion against a too ambitious power prepared to trample upon the rights of its neighbors in pursuit of its own schemes of aggrandizement or empire. In this industrial age, when no nation can live without foreign markets and expanding commerce. even colonial and imperial ambition, if at all enlightened, shrinks front war anti contents itself with "paci- fic penetration" and open doors. Tho late Moroccan episode caused a dangerous strain in the relations be- tween Germany and France., and fur a time a clash seemed imminent.. But Germany did not want war, and the controversy was satisfactorily ad- justed—so satisfactorily, indeed, that all interest in the conference over Morrocco has died out. And now there is active discussion of improv - •d relations btwcen Germany and IFrance on one band and Gernuu•y and England on the other.
