With a view, perhaps, of giving his guest further amusement he patted the housekeeper's hand again, where- upon Mrs. Banks' laughter ceased, and she sat regarding Mrs. Church with a petrified stare, met by that lady with a glance of haughty disdain. "S'pose we go into the garden a bit?" suggested Barber, uneasily. The two ladies had eyed each other for three minutes without blinking, and his own eyes were watering in sym- pathy. Mrs. Banks, secretly glad of the in- terruption, made one or two vague re- marks about going home, but after much persuasion, allowed him to lead her into the garden, the solemn Eliza- beth bringing up the rear with a has- sock and a couple of cushions. "It's a new thing for you having a housekeeper," observed Mrs. Banks, after her daughter had returned to the house to assist in washing up. "Yes, I wonder I never thought of it before," said the artful Barber; "you wouldn't believe how comfort- able it is." "I dare say," said Mrs. Banks, grim- ly. "It's nice to have a woman about the house," continued Captain Barber, slowly, "it makes it more horselike. A slip of a servant -girl ain't no good at aIl." "How does Fred like it?" inquired Mrs. Banks. "My ideas are Fred's ideas," said Uncle Barber, somewhat sharply. "What I like he has to like, naturally." "I was thinking of my darter," said Mrs. Banks, smoothing down her apron majestically. "The arrange - new -(angled stuff in. a bottle last weals, , a an R S S�.1e�a ea sub- bingd � I a ft Gb bing it in wouldn't be believed.?z "It's like his impudence," said the captain. "I've been thinking'," said Mr's. Banks, nodding her head with some animation, "of giving, Fred a little surprise., What do you think he'd do if I said they might marry this autumn?"1 "Jump out of his skin with joy,"; said Captain Barber, with conviction. "Mrs, Banks, the pleasure you've give en ins this day'is more than I can say." • i "And they'll live with you just the same?,, said Mrs. Banks. "Certainly,"•said the captain. • ' 4.They'f only be a few doors off s ' it'll said Mrs. Banks, and. it lI be nice for you to have a woman in the 'house to look after you," i Captain Barber nodded softly. "it's. what I've been wantiig for years," he said, heartily. t "And that buss—husskeeper," said Mrs. Banks, correcting herself, "will go?" r "0' course," said Captain Barber. "I shan't want no housekeeper with my nevy's wife in the house. You'e told Elizabeth, I s'pose ?" "Not yet," said Mrs. Banks; who e as a matter of fact had been influenc- ed by the proceedings of .that after -I noon to bring to a head a step she had hitherto only vaguely contemplated. I Elizabeth, who came down the gar den again a little later, accompanied I by Mrs. Church, recieved the news stolidly. A feeling of regret that the attentions of the devoted Gibson must now cease certainly occurred to her, but she never thought of contesting the arrangements made for her, and accepted the situation with a placidity which the more ardent Barber was ut-' terly unable to understand. ! "Fred '11 stand on his 'ed with joy," the unsophisticated mariner declared, with enthusiasm. I "He'll go singing about the house," declared Mrs. Church. Mrs. Banks regarded her unfavor- ably. I "He's never said much," continued Uncle Barber, in an exalted strain;' "that ain't Fred's way. He takes arter me; he's one o' the quiet ones,' one o' the still, deep waters, what al- ways feels the most. When I tell 'im his face'll just light up with joy." "It'll be nice for you, too," said Mrs. I Banks, with a side glance at the house-` keeper; "you'll have somebody to look after you and take an interest in you,' and strangers can't be expected to do that, even if they are nice." "We shall have him standing on his head, too," said Mrs. Church with a bright smile; "you're turning every- thing upside down, Mrs. Banks." "There's things as wants altering," said the old lady, with emphasis. "There's few things as I don't see, ma'am." "I hope you'll live to see a ' lot more," said Mrs. Church, piously. "She'll live to be ninety," said Cap- tain Barber, heartily. "Oh, easily," said Mrs. Church. Captain Barber regarding his old friend saw her face suffused with a wrath for which he was utterly un- able to' account. With a hazy idea that something had passed which he had not heard, he caused a diversion by sending Mrs. Church indoors for a pack of cards, and solemnly celebrat- ed the occasion with a game of whist, at which Mrs. Church, in partnership with Mrs. Banks, either through sheer wilfulness or absence of mind, contriv- ed to lose every game. +) ment was, I think, that when they were married they was to live with you?" Captain Barber nodded acquiessence. "Elizabeth would never live in a house with that woman, or any other woman, as house -keeper hi it," said the mother. "Well, she won't have to," said the old man; 'when they marry and Eliza- beth comes here, I shan't want a housekeeper—I shall get rid of her!" Mrs. Banks shifted in her chair, and gazed thoughtfully down the garden. "Of course, my idea was for them to wait till I was gone," she said at length. "Just so," replied the other, "and mores the pity." "But Elizabeth's getting on, and I don't seem to go," continued the old lady, as though mildly surprised at Providence for its unaccountable de- lay; "and there's Fred, he ain't getting younger." Captain Barber puffed at his pipe. "None of us are," he said, profoundly. "And Fred might get tired of wait- ing," said Mrs. Banks, ruminating. "He'd better let me hear him," said the uncle, fiercely; "leastways, o' course, he's tired o' waiting, in a sense. He'd like to be married." "There's young Bigson," said Mrs. Banks, in a thrilling whisper. "What about him?" inquired Bar- ber, surprised at her manner. "Comes round after Eizabeth," said Mrs. Banks. "No!" said Captain Barber, blankly. Mrs. Banks pursed up her lips and nodded darkly. "Pretends to come and see me," said Mrs. Banks; "always coming in bring- ing something new for my legs. The worst of it is he ain't always careful what he brings. He brought some k e.

As a result of the mate's ill -be- haviour at the theatre, Captain Fred Flower treated him with an air of chilly disdain, ignoring, as far as cir-' cumstances would permit, the fact that such a person existed. So far as the social side went the mate made no de-` mur, but it was a different matter when the skipper acted as though he were net present at the the breakfast table; and being chary of interfering with the other's self-imposed vow of silence, he rescued a couple of rashers from his plate and put them on his own. Also„ in order to put matters' on a more equal footing, he drank three cups of coffee in rapid succes- sion, leaving the skipper to his own reflections and an empty coffee-pot. In this sociable fashion they got through most of the day, the skipper refrain ing from speech. until late in the after ' noon, when, both being at work in the hold, the mate let a heavy case fall on his foot. • "I thought you'd get it," he said,' calmly, as Flower paused to take breath; "it wasn't my fault." "Whose was it, then?" roared Flow- er, who had got his boot off and was trying various tender experiments with his toe to see whether it was broken or not. "If you hadn't been holding your head in the air, and pretending that I wasn't here, it wouldn't have happen- ed," said Fraser, with some heat. The skipper turned his back on him,' and meeting a look of inquiring solici- tude'from Joe,applied to him for ad -,vice. "What had'I better do with it?" he! asked. "Well, if it was my toe, sir," said Joe, regarding it respectfully, "I, should stick it in a basin • o' boiling water and keep itthere. as long as I could 'bear it." "You're a fool." said the skipper, "What What cloyou think Y of it, Ben? I don't think it's broken." The old seaman scratched his head. "Well, if it belongeed to me," he said, slowly, "there's some ointment down the fo'c's'le which the cook 'ad for sore eyes, I should lust put some o' that on. It looks good stuff." The slcipper, summarising the .chief points in lien's character, which, ow- ing principally to the poverty of the English language bore a remarkable likeness to .Joe's and the mate's, took his s socc and boot i n hie hand, and gaining deck,in painfully g file limped paiaafu ly to the eabin, The foot was so painful after tea that he could hardly bear his slipper on and h. went working , n R ashore in his w oa ig clothes to the chemist's, preparatory to fitting himself out for Liston Street, " The chemist, leaning over the counter, was inclined to taloa a serious view of it, and shaking . his head with much solemnity, prepared a bottle of medi- cine, a bottle of lotion, and a box of ointment • "Let me see it algain as soon as you've finished the medicine," he said, as he handed a clad the articles over the counter. Flower promised, and hobbling to- wards the door turned into the street. Then: the amiable. .air which he had, worn in the shop gave way to one of unseemly: hauteur as he saw Fraser hurrying towards him. "Look out," cried the latter warn- ingly. The skipper favored him evith a baleful stare. "All right," said the mate, angrily, "go your own way, then. Don't come to ane when you get into trouble, that's all." Flower passed on his way in sil- ence. Then a thought struck him and he stopped suddenly. "You wish to speak to me?" he ask- ed, stiffly. "No, I'm damned. if I do!" said the mate, sticking his heeds into his pockets. "If you wish to speak to me," said the other, trying in vain to conceal a trace of anxiety in his voice, "it's my duty to listen. What were you going to say just now?" The mate eyed him wrathfully, but as the pathetic figure with its wound- ed toe and cargo of remedies stood there waiting for him to speak, he sud- denly softened. "Don't go back, old man," he said, kindly, "she's aboard." Eighteen pennyworth of mixture, to be taken thrice daily from tablespoons, spilled over the kerb, and the skipper, thrusting the other packets mechanic- ally into his pockets, disappeared hur- - +" riedly around the corner. "It's no use findiatg fault with me," said Fraser, quickly, as he stepped along beside him, "so don't try it. They came down into the cabin before I knew they were aboard even." "They?" repeated the distressed FIower. "Who's they?" "The young woman that came be- fore and a stout woman with a little dark moustache and earrings. They're going to wait until you come back, to ask you a few questions about Mr. Robinson. They've been asking me a few. I've. locked the door of your state -room, and here's the key." Flower pocketed it and, after a lit- tle deliberation, thanked him.

Concrete walls are easily construct- ed and at a low cost. These walls are especially suitable for farm en- trances or enclosures about farm build- ings. Where merely serving the pur- I pose of an enclosure, such as a barn- yard or poultry yard, it is not neces- sary to construct the wall more than 6 inches thick. Simple methods of construction are as follows: The most important consideration in the construction of any wall is a firm foundation, sufficiently deep to prevent heaving by frost. In most localities 1 this distance is 3 to 4 feet. When bhe earth is firm and the sides of an I excavation will stand up vertically, it is unnecessary to use wooden forms! for the portion of wall beneath the ground level. A trench of the re -1 quired width is dug, taking care that the sides of the trench are straight,I vertical and fairly smooth. The width i of all walls below ground level should be at least 12 inches. Where sandy or crumbly earth is encountered, it is best to * use wooden forms below ground level. In depositing the con- crete in the foundation trench see that no dirt falls into it as this would weak- en the wall. The pro,,er proportions for walls below ground are 1 bag of Portland cement to 2% cubic feet of sand to 5 cubic feet of crushed rock or pebbles. When the trench is filled 1 with concrete to ground level, a simple form, is set in place. The surface of the foundation at ground level must he entirely free from dirt, chips or other foreign substances and the concrete roughened before depositing upon it the above -ground portion or wall pro- per. The minimum thickness of walls for very light structures may be 4 inches, although it is very difficult to deposit concrete in a wall this thin. A thickness of 6 inches is better for most purposes. ' The proportion of walls above ground should be 1 bag of Portland cement to 2 cubic feet of sand to 4 cubic feet of crushed rock or pebbles. Bank -run gravel may be "used if the pebbles are separated from the sand by screening through a Ye -inch screen. For the above -ground portion of walls bhe forms should be made with care, the boards being care- fully matched so that a smooth sur- face will be obtained in the finished wall. This result is obtained by spading ' the sl e concrete at it is being' placed in the forms. Spading con- sists of thrusting between the form and the fresh concrete a thin wooden paddle. '!'his serves to force the shone hack intothe concrete, allowing a rich mortar spat to flow against the forms. In walls above ground it in well to reinforce with small steel rods or wire mesh. This reinforceing runs in both directions and serves to prevent any cracks due to settlement or other causes. Walls for buildings can be construct- ed as described. but for buildings of considerable size the thickness of the walls should be 8 inches, and one or two lengths of rods should be laid about 2 inches aliove the tops of win- dows, doors and other openings.— Canadian Farm.

Good comfortable housing and jud- icious feeding are the two cardinal principles of successfully wintering g the breeding ewes. The change from . grass and forage to hay and grain. should be cautiously made to avoid deranging the functions of the ewe's digestive systems. An abrupt change of diet often overtakes the ewe's di- gestive s stem and i Iactic, . oroh other serious ailments. It 'n very Y important that we exercise care and skill in changing' the flock from pasture and forage crops to, winter' rations` writes W. Milton Kelley, During the average season the •f1 should go into winter quarters about the first week in December. Up to this time the grass and forage furnish- es considerable green food for the ewes, but the frozen condition of the feed after this date renders it watery and less nourishing, and without ex- tra caro and feed the ewes fail to get sufficient food to maintain the desired flesh condition. The small amount of grass and forage obtained during the month of November will help to. modify the influence of the dry feed upon the organs of digestion and fur- nish succulence which is so essential to the health of the ewes. With pas- ture and forage crops supplemented by clover or alfalfa hay during the late fall there is little danger of de- ranging the functions of digestion when the ewes are placed in their win- ter quarters and fed dry hay awed grain. It is unwise economy to save hay and grain feeds for winter feed- ing and allow the ewes to become run down in flesh condition during the alt It is equally unwise to not get them accustomed to the dry feed a few weeks before they are taken up for the winter. ' Ewes that go into their winter quar- ters in an unthrifby and low flesh con- dition cannot bring good vigorous lambs in the spring. Then again the ewes that are in low flesh at lambing time cannot supply the necessary nourishment to raise as good lambs as the individuals that are in good flesh condition at this period. It is clearly to our interest to have the ewe flock in good vigorous flesh condition dur- ing the winter so that they may bring good robust lambs and supply them with plenty of nourishment. Give Plenty of Exercise. Overcrowding the ewe flock` during the winter months is a frequently cause of severe losses. It not only causes the ewes to become sluggish, but many times it increases the tem- perature of the barn and causes the ewes to begin sweating and when they are turned out they take cold and develop catarrh. If possible they should be separated into flocks of from 20 to 40 ewes. In this way there will be less danger of injury i through crowding and they will exer- cise more freely. Breeding ewes re- quire plenty of exercise and every day when the weather is favorable they, should be turned out and allowed to roam over the yards and pasture. , Plenty of out -door exercise and fresh air will insure a crop of vigorous lambs. Many of the troubles experienced at lambing time are the result of rough handling and treatment during the period of pregancy. It shows very poor management when the ewes are afraid of the owner. Running and crowding through doors is likely to result in dead or deformed Iambs at lambing time. A few weeks of good treatment and quiet handling gives the ewes confidence in the shepherd and prevents losses at yeaning. . . It requires the hand of a master shepherd to judiciously feed a flock of breeding ewes during the winter. A roughage ration of any kind is not suf- ficient. A too heavy ration of grain feeds is equally dangerous. A light. feeding of grain feed will produce the best results. For a grain ration I prefer a mixture of corn, oats and wheat bran. A mixture of the vari- ous kinds of home grown grains will supply about the necessary amount of protein and carbohydrates to give good results, especially if fed in connection with clover o1 alfalfa hay. Corn should be fed sparingly as it tencisrto produce too much fat which is morein- juriousthan beneficial at. this period. Given plenty of good roughage and a light grain ration of wholesoaee farm feed supplemented with a little oil' and some root crops or corn en- silage for succulence the ewes should then be in ideal flesh condition at lambing time. let tib.
