The worry was beginning to tell on hint physically and he, feared that he would break down under the strain, On all sides he received congratu- lations, the irony of which sank deeply into his soul.

For a moment she wavered; moat eases the broods are numeri- cally larger, and individually ex- hibit greater vitality and a more sturdy appearance. This is doubtless the result of the more direct, personal super vision, and oanstent, watchful at- •teation, of which there is a great- er possibility in the case of the more limited undertakings than where more is attempted in con- junction with a multiplicity of co- incident duties. The cottage wo- man places her feed coops within easy distance of her bask door, where the young chicks are con- stantly under her' notice is her fre- quent goings and comings, in a manner more or less impossible to the farmer's wife, whose attention they divide with the dairy and other matters of perhaps greater importance, so that the care :of .-,e poultry is at times relegated to the tender mercies of a boy. It is the continuity of direct, personal attention that is of special importance in winter rearing, and 'the same is true of the preceding period of incubation. The disposition of hens is very variable, u. fact which needs con- siderable'study throughout the in- cubating period, the ultimate suc- cess of which depends largely up- on a number of apparently simple and trifling details. The fact that incubation - involves one of the most wonderful and complex pro- cesses to be found in the whole' realm of nature is too often lost sight of in the ignorant disregard bred of familiarity with its exter- nals, and it is net realized how very little earelessnsss is sufficient to arrest, or prevent the due growth and development of the life hidden within the shells. At the commencement the eggs ac should not be pled under the hens until the birds have settled contentedly in their setting quer ters, a point in which they are very dissimilar, and the disregard of whish often defeats the object at the beginning. The safe plan is to place the hens-in..their nest boxes at night—upon china eggs—to feed them in the morning and then to induce them to return quietly to their nests. If they do this with- out being unduly fidgety, and re- main quiet during the day, the real eggs may be introduced in the evening.

They were sitting in Harecastle's Ehambers in the Albany, for the arl had come unexpectedly to town, and had declared his inten- tion of going on the same after- noon to Leighton Manor.

Then, too, it was his first chance of seeing how the world viewed the approaching marriage of his son. Deep in his heart the Earl hated this Jewish strain that was about to cross the blue blood of the Woiverholmes ; but he bare- ly admitted such a feeling, even to himself. "You've lbs luck of the devil, Wolverholme," Lord Holmhunt who was an old friend, remarked confidentially. "I only wish there was another Miss Josephs in the world for my boy, but they are difficult to meet. They tell me she is charming, and as pretty as she is rich." "Pretty is not quite the word. Handsome, and with little outward signs of her race, Yes, Harecastle is very fortunate," the Earl said reflectively. "What is the father like? I've never met him," the other asked cu riously. "Quito presentable, and most generous. The settlements are all that one could desire." "If they satisfy you they must indeed be magnificent," Lord Holmhunt replied with it covetous bleans in his eye, for his only trou- le in life was,his poverty. "I :can't say that Harecastle looks particularly happy," he added ; �Y'ally, "Rubbish I He has a lot to think about," the Earl broke in quickly. "I had heard that he was goi»g r n .

"And this is the man that I re- spected—that I thought could nev- er de a mean action—that I deem- ed to be upright and Honorable," she cried scornfully. "I love you," he repeated. "And you are utterly base to tell me so. You left me to become en- gaged to another woman.

TeroSto Setting hens should always be liberated at the same time every day, and fed on grain, using some corn in cold weather to maintain the bird's temperature; but punc- tuality in feeding is essential to prevent restlessness and the pos- sibility of the birds standing -up in their nests, They must be allow- ed out long enough for a proper amount of exercise and the use of the dust bath, the cleanliness of the eggs and the nesting material receiving attention meanwhile. At about bbe tenth day the eggs should be tested by holding them in front of a strong light, and the infertile and addled eggs removed; the infertile will appear quite translucent, the addled will appear cloudy and spotted, and the fer- tile will show a dark reddish color evenly distributed throughout the greater ,portion of their contents. The ehief reason for the removal of the infertile eggs is that, though they generate no heat themselves, they absorb it front the surround- ing eggs containing living em- bryos, A secondary consideration is the avoidance of waste of space and time, as well as the energy of the setting hens, in that if sev- eral hens are set; concurrently, the fertile eggs (cvhich remain from the testing) may be distributed to oom.plete the normal hatches under a sufficient number of hens, uniit- cubated eggs being placed beneath the remainder, This will save ten clays in the hatching of the fresh settings, although there •aro some possible disadvantages in the trans- ference of partially incubated eggs from one hen to another; and it may be noted that the temperature of setting hens is not the same throughout the whole incubating period, Tbis, however, probably does not vary sufficiently to ma- terially interefere with the prac- ti:eal results of the method, pro- vided the eggs are the product of a vigorous etoclr.

God has His best things for the few, Who care to stand the test; God has His second choice for those Who will not have His best. Give me, 0 Lord, the best things, Let others take the rest; I do not want their good things, For I have got the best. It is not always open ill That risks the promised rest; The better often is the foe That keeps us from the best. There's scarcely one but vaguely wants In some way to be blest; 'Tis rot Thy blessing, Lord, I seek, I want Thy very best. And others choose the best things, But when by trial pressed, They shrink, they yield, they shun the cross, And so they lose the best. I want in this short life of aline As much as can be pressed Of service true, to God and man, Help me to be my best. I want among the victor throng To have my name confessed, And hear the Master say at last, "Well 'done, you did your best," WHERE PEOPLE LIVE LONG. Men of 70 Not R.egat'ded aa Old— Simple Life and Longevity. In Norfolk there aro in every village individuals of more than 80 years of age and not infrequent- ly Dino or two over 90, and thoeo of 70 and upward are regarded at not even old, says the London Daily News, Many farm laborer's of 70 are quite hale and hearty, working from early morning up to 5 and si o',elook in the evening and some are so vigorous as to earn a full man's wages. And the women in the country (writes' a correspondent) are more tenacious of life perhaps than are the men. In one village personally known 4o ine, containing about 800 people, within the past six months have died three women of more than 90 years of age, the old- est of these being no less them ed. In another Norfolk village with in- habitants to the number of 400 there live a man of 95, 'a wontof 90, a woman of 89, a woman of 87 and several of both settee ,over 80. Inyet another village there is e blacksmith aged 96 and the willow of a country medical practitioner whose years mount up to 92. This longevity of the Norfolk peasant comments the Lushest, HEALTII GANQLION. The name ganglion Is given to a cireumseribed collection of fluid along the course of one of,the ten- dons or sinews. Usually it is los carted on the back of the wrist or on the instep, bus it may bo en- countered on the outer side of the ankle or en the inner surface of the wrist, The swelling is rounded and of variable size, usually perhaps,. when it begins to attract the no- tice of its possessor, about the size of a filbert It gives a sensation of elasticity although often solid feeling, like a piece of India -rub - bet,: but it may be so hard as to be mistaken for a bony tumor.. It is. quite movable under the skin when the hand is at rest, bub when the fingers are oontradted—in case the ,gan lion is on the back of the wrist—the lump becomes tense and fixed. There are • ordlaarily no symp- toms other than the disfigurement of the swelling, although if sub- jected to continual slight injuries, as happens especially when it is located on the instep,• it may be - some inflamed and quite painful. The interior of a ganglion is not exalctly fluid, but somewhat vis- cid, much like glycerine jelly. The old -tine treatment of a gang- lion on the back of the wrist was to tell the patient to make a fist, and then, when the tumor was. tense, to hit it a blow with the flat of a heavy book and rupture it. After that a bandage was worn for several days to maintain pressure on the part, and so prevent the little cyst from refilling. This was the accepted .plan of treatment by even the best surgeons forty cm fifty years ago, and was usually satisfactory ; but' sometimes the patient so treated went into a gal- loping consumption, and died. The reason for this has been found in the fact that a.ganglioa is sometimes tuberculosis in its nature and origin, and the slap with the book simply spattered the. fluid out of the sac, where it did no harm, int» the loose tissue be- neath the skin, whence it was ab- sorbed by the blood -vessels, and so the contained poison was carried to every part of the body. A better way is to insert a hoe. low needle into the tumor and by means of suction with an aspirator draw off the contents, if they art not too thick and jelly-like. Now - a -bays, however, the surgeon usu- ally cuts out the whole thing, sae and all, and so gets rid of it with- out fear of return. Tho little op- eration is vory simple, devoid of danger, can be done without pain,. and leaves a very slight, almost in- visible, sear. -Youth's Companion. HOT BATH FOR NERVES.

Not many a hot tub than to indulge in a drug, reach even middle age without even of the mildest description. having been the victims of rheuma- tism, and a large number are crip- pled in their old age by this dis- ease. Rut in spite of this the aver- age of longevity Seems to be very high, although as well as rheuma- tism he has to contend with the lack of. adequate housing accom- modetion and want of proper sa,ni- 'tary arrangements. That to eat sparingly of plain, wholesome food, bo be much in the open air and to work sufficiently to occupy the mind and to exercise the body will enable a man to defy more or less the evils of envirnnmsnt would seem to be shown by the tough- ness of the Norfolk laborer. -.o A MISTAKEN IRISHIMAN. It said to be a peculiarity of the island of Montserrat that the negroes speak with it rich Irish brogue. This phenomenon is ex- plained by the fact that in the sev- enteenth century the colony was peopled almost entirely by tho Irish, In "The Cradle of the Deep" Sir Frederick Treves gives the following incident illustrative of the care with which this dialect has been preserved. It is quoted. from Ober. An Irishman fresh' from Donegal arrives at Montserrat, and leaning; over the steamer's rail, addresses himself in the following terms to a coal -black negro who has tome alongside with provisions i "Say, Cnffes,_ phwat s the chance for a lad ashore?" "Good, yer .honor if ye'ro not afraid of wurruk. But mo name's, not Coffee, an' please ye, it's Pat Mulyanoy." "Mulvaney? A.nel de ye mane. to say ye're Oiriah 1" "Oi do," "The saints defend us! An' how, long have yer been out herol" "A manor of tin year or so." "Tin year An' yez black as me hat. Save me soul, 1 took yez for is naygtir." Ballooning is the highest fashion dI 'Oho day. That may be why people hate to drop out of fashi ah, There is something remarkably re- laxing in immersion in hot water, and unless the plunge lasts tto long there is not the slightest dan- ger of being weakened by it. To put a time limit upon the bath is impossible, because it de- pends upon the original vitality of the individual. One whose strength was much lessened could not stay in the water for more than ten minutes, while for another twenty minutes, is none too long. The way one feels on getting out is the best criterion, for there should be a gentle sensation of lassitude, but not that of exhaustion. If to gain sleep is the object for which the bath is taken, everything should be prepared before getting into the water. The bed must be open and there should be a hot water bag in it to warm the sheets, that there be no shock of cold linen. Fresh air from an open window -is a necessity, but draught is not de- sirable. These details attended to, the water in the tub should be of a temperature just comfortable to the skin. After thewholebody has gone beneath the surface the hot faucet must be turned on, slow- ly letting the temperature of the bath rise until it is hot as can be endured comfortably, Occasional- ly more hot water can be added in this way, for as the skin becomes accustomed to warmth it can en• dire more. Ae this tub is not taken for cleansing purposes ib only reinai:ir, for the person to lie quite s011, closing the eyes and trying to ro- 1ax the muscles. 13y giving one- self up to it in this way much more good is accomplished than would be from a vigorous scrubbing.
