The old housekeeper of linden Hall escorts, his son, Gordon, a fair-huired,
mused abruptly as she was hurrying handsome student of eighteen, who

the voice proceeded.

so many to ploy, like -as -we -lie caddies,
and bunkers, and so much more of that
sort of gibberish, that no wonder my
roor old head has turned from gray to
snow-white listening to it."
Mr. Richard Barlow, the grave law-
yer, leaned back in his chair and in-
dulged in the heartiest laugh that he had
known for many a day. as he listened
to the glib expressions of the annoyed
old housekeeper, remarking amusedly:
"You seem so well versed in the vo-
cabulary of the fashionable fad of the

As the merry, chattering group walked

Plainly discern that John Rockledge, the
{rave young lawyer's heart had indeed
gone out to bright, bonny Corine, danc-

he looked down on her.
"I pray that it may be," muttered Law-
yer Harlow, arising slowly from his
seat and pacing his study anxiously up
and down.
"Ay! it must be. The girl whnin ne
weds will have a pricless jewel for a
husband; I repot, Corine, must look with
favor upon him."
And he went on soliloquizing with
himself: "There are plenty of adventur-

reached the porch, and, after the uncon-
ventional manner of young folks, had
plumped themselves down on the first
step they reached, and for the next
five minutes nothing could be heard save
the enthusiastic account of the game in
which Corine had shown such arnnzing
nerve, beating all known records, that
they had unanimously voted her then
and there the queen of the golf links.
Ay, and the world's champion, for that
matter.
John Rockledge threw up his grinds
In bewilderment, crying: "1 beseech you
to desist, young ladies, In your expla-
nation of the game; 1 know literally no-
thing about it," but he kept silence
about mentioning that ho cared still

It has been my experience that lice Is
one of the greatest drawbacks to suc-
cessful turkey raising. If turkeys have
access to the same runs or buildings as
hens, they are quite sure to be thus
afflicted and Ute pests increase faster
than on hens, and many puzzling losses
among the stock may be traced to that
source. 1 take no chances on that score,
but dust the birds once each week
while sitting and just ns often after

well feathered and are noticed freely
dusting themselves in fresh earth.
Aftr Ih[s insects will not cause further
trouble.
By having the turkeys tnme, the
trouble is avoided of having them steal

STEER FEEDING.
in growing or purchasing food for
fattening steers the question of palntn-
bilily and the value of the by-product
manure is far loo often lost sight of.
These two points determine the profits
in a largo measure. It Is particularly
true in the case of purchased feeds on
the dniry farm and where steers are be-
ing fed In large numbers.
The palatability of the font has' a
great effect upon the daily gains of Ili
nnimnl. If the right amount is fed and
the animal comes to feeding time each
dny with a healthy, rigorous appetite,
the gains will be constant and large,
but it the steer grows tired of Ills ra-
tion. then n clinnge must be made or
further feeding will be at n loss.
To secure palatability a mixed food is
one of
the best. menus. Where several
grains nre mixed together in propor-
liens which will give n balanced ration

CENSUS OF THE EMPIRE
1AKI:N IN 1901 AND T1IE RESUL'rs
ARE I.:'LED NOW.
Figures as to the Religious Divisions of
Kin, Edward's
Subjects.
Somewhat tardy in making its appear-
ance, but of extreme interest, is the re-
port issued of the census of the British
Empire taken in 1901.
The report deals not only with the
population, but also includes conditions
of marriage„ occupnlions, birth -places,
religions, degrees of education, and in-
firmities.
The first British Empire census was
made in 181, and England and her pos-
sessions then comprised 8,500,000 square
miles. In forty years the aggregate
orea of the Empire has increased by 40
per cent., and in 1901 amounted to 11,-
;0S,378 square miles. or rather more than
cne-fifth of the land area of the globe.
111E INCREASE SHOWN.
The population h1 1861 was about259.-
(00,000. in 1901, exclusive of Northwest-
ern Rhodesia. for which no estimate
could be obtained, it reached 400,000,-
000. Of this huge Iota) 291,361,056 are
contained in (he Indinn Empire, increas-
e' by 10,000,000 people since 1871.
In 1861 the population of the United
Kingdom was Se,927,485; in 1901 it was
recorded as 41,S5e.721.
Next in bulk of figure comes Cannda.
Five years ngo her population was 5.-
371.315; 45 years ago it was roughly es-
Lmated at 3,199,418.
Auslralin increased her population in
45 years from 1.208,041 to 3,836.15.4. ;n
one instance only has the population (.f
tiny British possession decrensed. In
11+71 the population of Gambia was re -
eroded as 14,190; in 1901 it hod shrunk
l0 13,456.
DENSITY OF POPULATION.
In regnrd to average density of popu-
lelion, there nre 33.5 persons 10 the
squnre mile throughout the British Erre
vire; the most densely populated (11s.
bids are the Isle of Mon and the Chan.

most sparsely, Australia, with 1.3.

DEATH BY ELECTRICITY
ltl ' I'UN..Iltll.l'I-y IN TIIr (' t►4E OP
1119li.Ii 1ott on the subject of Palatitis.
From I.tte \\',r%
and trails,
"With the introduction of( -:lays
worked by electricity on the,.,e-rad
system," says \V. Valentine • , un
English barrister, "a very it
t:ro61eru arises as to «ilUl„•r a4 how
far the company is held F s7.uttsible for
the accidents which happen to persons
on the line. At first sight it may appear
lo be ft simple mutter to answer this
question; but it is not so easy as it seems
as much depends on the answer to a
further question, nantely, what right
had the injured person to be where no
was? Although divers accidents front
electric shocks trate recurred since the
lite -rail was introduced in England, no
case in which the question of liability of
the railway company has been consid-
ered has yet conte before the courts. Tho
subject roust, therefore, be approached
from the standpoint of first principles.
AS TO E\1I'I.O1'ES.
"And first with regard to persons em-
ployed on an electric railway by the
company. If any such person meets
with an accident by coining into contact
e lilt a live rail there is an English sta-
tute known as the Workingmen's Com-
pensation Act, which would clearly give
hint a right to claim damages, unless it
could bo shown that the workman had
brought about the accident by his own
serious and wilful misconduct. Apart
fe,m this and certain other statutes, of
tVh the most impertant is known a;;
Employers' Liability Act, there is no
rude of lite English common law which
would entitle n workmen to compensa-
lion qua workmen. In fact the English
law as (apart from statute) with regari
to the liability of an employer for in-
juries sustained by a workman is simi-
lar to that tvttirh, according to Mr.
Crosswell, obtain in America.
LIARhf.ri'Y OF COMPANY.
"That author stales -'As to the liabil-
ity for an electric (The Law of Ekectrd-
ity, 1895, sec. 266) company to its em-
i.loyes for defective construction and
maintenance, the lending rule is, as in
other branches of the law of master and
servant, that the employe in entering til
business accepts all the obvious, ince
dental and natural risks thereof, and the
company is not liable for injuries result-
ing to him therefrom.' The risk of in-
jury by shock from a live rail until
tinnily be described as anything hut nn
obvious risk, especially if (be company
look the precaution of posting warning
notices in places where the employes
were likely to cross the permanent way
('or the rond bet') on the level/
PROTECTION OF PUf3LiZY
"Different consideintions apply (n) to
the public who nifty at certain places,
have the right to cross the line on the
level, and (b) to passengers who may
be expressly or implicitly requested Is
cross the line for the purpose of getting
from one platform to another. In alt
Iliese cases it is clearly the duty of the
company to lake precautions. For lit -
stance, It would be their duty to giinrd
the naked conductors with wooden rails
in order to prevent a person r.leppin
or the metal. It may be here mention-
ed
ention
ed that the Board of Trade in England
(this being the Government department
that has worked in these matters) have
made regulations to this effect; but they
have declined to call upon electric rail -
tray companies to guard the naked con-
ductors throughout their length. Failure
le post warning notices would probably
be regarded as negligence on the part
a' the coa.
TRESPAmpnySS ON LINE.
"The law upon This branch of our eel),
jeer has been thus slated in a text book
recently published in England: 'Carriac.)
by Hallway,' by 11. Diseny, barrister -M. -
1m. 'If a person is wrongfully on the
eternises of a railway company there Is
ne duly upon the company to warn him
of even concealed dangers. Ile come]
entirely at his own risk, and, lhoi nls
nothing may be done with the intentl..n
of injuring even n criminal (as by set111i'-
s man -trap to catch a thief), the emn-
pany is under no obligation for negli-
genre to n t•espnsser.' •Thus it n we -
son were in a train with the frnudiihei
Intention of traveling without paying. the
compnny would probably not be respon-
sible it that person were injured by neg-
ligence. Again, n person trespassing on
the line could not make the conpeny
nnswerable for injuries received .vlole
so trespassing."
