In less confident t nos Iuspectct' Walters resumed his narrative; "On M-onday evening, sir," he said, "about eight o'clock,, his Ek- celleney and the two secretaries were dining downstairs, anti mat- ters had, thus far, gone on with the sante routine as was observed every preceding day, The workman quit- ted work at me o'clock. The three gentlemen tient out for a drive as soon as everything was locked up, and came in again at a quarter to eight. They did not change their clothes for dinner', so there was no occasion to search them, as no one had gune upstairs since they had descended soon after six. They bad barely started dinner whea sumo one called at the front door, 1 and I was sent fur. The door bell. I may explain was always answered by one of the house servants, and he, if necessary, admitted any per- sun who came, closing the door; but the visitor had to be examined by the policeman stationed in the ;passage before he was permitted to come any further. On this occa- •aion I went out and found three gentlemen standing there. They were Turks, as could be easily seen by their attire, and appeared to be persons of some consequence." "What do you mean by the words `their attire?' " interrupted Brett. "Were they dressed in European clothes or in regular Turkish gar- ments?" "Oh," said the inspector, "I only meant that they wore £cies; other- wise they were quite accurately dressed in frock coats and the rest, but they were unmistakably Turks by their appearance. Two of them could speak no English, and the third, who acted as the leader of the party, first of all addressed me in Trench. Finding I did not un- derstand him, he used very broken, but fairly intelligible English. What he wanted was to be taken at once to His Excellency, Mehe- met Ali Pasha. I said that his Ex- cellency was dining and that per- haps he had better call in the morning, but he replied that his business was very urgent, and he could not wait. He made me un- derstand that if I sent in the cards of himself and his companions they would certainly be admitted at once. I did not see any harm in this, so I took the three cards and gave them to Hussein, who was crossing the hall at the moment." "As the cards were printed in Turkish characters you could not of course, tell what the . names were," said Brett. A look of blank astonishment crossed the inspector's face as he replied: "That is a good guess, but it is so. The hieroglyphics on the piece of pasteboard were worse than Greek. However, Hussein glanced at them. Be appeared to be sur- prised ; he went into the dining room. Of course I had nothing v.lse to do to let them in, which I did, accompanying them myself to the door of the dining -room, and making sure, befure the door was closed, that their presence was ex- pected." "How did you do that?" said Brett. "Well, although they spoke in what I suppose was Turkish, it is not very difficult to distinguish by a man's tones whether his recep- tion of unexpected visitors is cor- dial or not, and there could be no doubt that the visiting cards bad conveyed such names to his Excel- lency as warranted the introduc- tion of the party into the house. The six gentlemen remained in the dining -room until 0,17 (I have the time noted here in my pocket - hook). They then came out and went upstairs in a body to the ante- room, where they all sat down, as I could tell by the movement of the chairs overhead, and in a few mm- utes Hussein was rung for to bring cigarettes and coffee. This was at 0,21, Hussein was searched as he came downstairs after receiving the order, and again at 9.30 when he returned after executing it. I was relieved at ten o'clock, and beyond describing the three gentlemen, 1 know nothing more about the busi- ness," "They were well dressed " in- quired Brett; "they impressed yon as Turkish gentlemen by their fea- tures, and they wore fezes?" "Yes," said the policeman, with a smile ; "but there was a little more than that." "It is of, no importance," said Brett. "But really it must be," urged. the inspector. "011e of them, the man who spoke to me, had a bad ttword-eut amass. his right cheek, whilst another squinted horribly; besides, they were all elderly men." "Pardon me, inspector," said Brett, "but you admit, no doubt, that, this is a very remarkable crime I ate • investioating." there?" broke in Brett.

Eight Years of Bad Eczema on Hands "Well, that is very curious," said Inspector Walters, drupping his hands on his knees in sheer amazement at such an extraordin- ary statement from a man whose clearness and accuracy of percep- tion had been so fully justified by the incident of the wincljw-blind. "And now, Mr. Sharpe," said Brett, "what did you observe?" "I came un duty at ten o'clock; posted ray guards, and received from Inspector Walters an exact account of what had taken place before my arrival, Inspector Wal- ters had hardly quitted the house, when une of the junior members of the mission came downstairs with a note which he asked me to send at onec by a constable to Mr. Tal- bot." "You are quite sure he was one of the members of the mission 1" said Brett. "Perfectly certain. I have seen him every previous night for near- ly a month, as the gentleman often went out late to the Turkish Em- bassy, and, elsewhere.

Taking a core stable with me, I went upstairs, and ascended to the second story, where I knew his Excellency's suite was situated, and where I expected to find Hussein asleep on a mat in front of the bedroom door. The mat was there, but no Hussein. Then I went higher up to the rooms occupied by the two assistants. I knocked, but received no answer. One door was looked; the other was open, so I went in, but the room was empty, and the bed had not been slept upon. This seemed so strange that I knocked loudly at the other door, with no result.

We had heard from our neighbors, and in fact every one who used it, how well they liked it "Well, the next morning Mother brewed it about five minutes, just as she had been in the babit of do- ing with coffee without paying special attention to the directions printed on the package. It looked weak and didn't have a very prom- ising color, but nevertheless father raised his cup with an air of ex- pectancy. It certainly did give him a great surprise, but I'm afraid it wasn'.t a very pleasant one, for he put down his cup with a look of disgust. "Mother wasn't discouraged though, and next morning gave it another trial, letting it stand on the stove till boiling began and then letting it boil for fifteen or twenty minutes, and this time we were all so pleased with it that we have used it ever since.

All the old birds, and young, too, should be examined frequently during the hot months, because then it is that the lice and mites thrive. If cut bone or chopped meat is fed during the summer, extra pre- cautions must be taken to have it perfectly fresh. Many birds die from eating bone and meat scraps which have been allowed to lie around exposed to the heat and the flies. In feeding chickens always re- member that they are provided for to produce fresh eggs for human food and, therefore, their own food should be just as pure as that we eat ourselves. The hot sun will cause young gos- lings and ducklings as well to top- ple over and die. Provide shade for them until they are strong on their pegs. ONE PIE FOR 70 GUESTS.

I didn't see anyone reading them• the scenery is too attractive for that. The magazines, however, which belong to the library, were much in demand. Well. it has been a wonderful day for me. I was up early. for the train leaves Calgary at 3.15 am, right on the dot. That's one thing that has surprised Inc on this trip. While a local trete in On. tario may be anywhere from half an hour to an hour late, these trains which make a run for nearly three thousand miles null out of the station right on time. Of course, they must lose in win- ter when the snow drifts. Then a train may be excused for being a day behind time. We ran out of Calgary in the dark, but it was daylight by the time we reach. ad Exshaw, when you are right close up to the mountains. Isere I noticed a num- ber of long, dusty -looking buildings. They are part of one of the largest cement works in Canada. Then we went through what is called "The Gap," right into the heart of the mountains. It WAS. at Caumore that L first realized what mountains were. I simply cannot describe the feeling of awe that is ex- perienced in looking on them for the first time. The other side of a level valley, perhaps some flue miles away, they rose up. up, up, grey, silent. majestic in the grey light of early morning, with the mists still clinging about them. They seemed to lift themselves above and out of the world, and to be altogether apart from man and the little things that busy him. They were solitary, remote, and there was no sign of living thing near them. And inbetween the solemn, grey peaks, miles beyond. a glimpse might be caught of another. higher peak, snow-covered, gilded with the bright, fresh sunlight of early morning. They were grand. I just hung on to the rail. ing at the back of the observation oar and gazed, and gazed, and gazed, All the .time 1 was drinking in the: wonder of the mountains I was think- ing that I had never before realized what a mountain was. Pictures give you no idea at all any more than a portrait of a person can speak to you. And 1 was thinking, too, what a pity it was that all my Polke could not be with mo to 200 and appreciate tate wonderful bit of our Canada.

The wonders that the engineers have accomplished in putting the rail- road through is next to the wonder of the mountains themselves. After you have been running in the maze of hills for a whole day, you wonder that any body ever found their way through, 10 alone build a railroad. When the tunnels are left behind, you come out along the Ricking horse River. The track runs along a- narrow ledge cut in the side of the mountain with the river Sar below, hundreds of foot. Gra- dually the track gots lower .and lower, till it is running close beside the leaping, dashing, greeny -white water of the'+river. At Glacier I got my first Ape view of one of the glaciers that feed .these 'moun- tain rivers. It was sweltering hot where we were at the station, but up on the side of the mountain lay a great expanse of snow that glistened in the sun.

Scours in ealves or calf cholera in many lustanecs differ from diar- rhoeain grown animals, and has special features of its own, taking the form of infectious intestinal ea- tarrh, which is far more serious than the diarrhoea of the frill grown animal. Scours in valves generally appear suddenly. A perfectly healthy calf may be seized all at once, appar- ently, without any ohang4 in food or care, The symptoms of 'this infantile diarrhoea usually appear during the first two el' three weeks' of life. Iu many cases scours appear with- in a few hours .after the animal is, borne and the calf May die tvithia from 24 hours unless it receives prompt and proper treatment. • It is common for the calf to be afflicted with scours immediately at birth, even before it has had Id= to suck or take any 'nourish- ment merit ll er. a v The faeces of manure is very thin and watery. It has a sour, dis- agreeable odor and is usually light colored. The evacuations are fre- quent and expelled with ,force. The first indication of scours is the soiled condition of the tail, loss of appetite, sunken eyes, sometimes the saliva flowing from the mouth, no atternpt being made to swallow. They have a staring coat, grow thin, and lose strength rapidly. Death usually follows in from twelve to twenty-four hours unless prompt measures are taken' to check the disease,. If allowed th continue for any length of time the scouring will be accompanied by congestion and'ul- ceration of the intestinal mucous membrane caused by the irritating secretions. As a result of this disease partial or double blindness is sometimes brought on. To prevent scours in calves, pro- per care should be given to the Mother while pregnant, that she may be able to give birth to a heal- thy calf. As scours is a germ disease, it is important that the calf be free from this disease when born. Cows afflicted with the disease of abortion convey this disease to their offspring. It is for this reason that calves so often die of scours before they have taken nourishment. It is therefore very necessary that the cow be kept free from clis- ease in order to obtain healthy calves. Calves born, afflicted with the germs of this disease in their sys- tem, are in a position to spread the disease to other calves that they may come in contact with in the same herd, or if shipped to other herds. This is another proof of its infectious nature. To prevent and overcome scours in calves, they should he given me- dicines that prevent fermentation of feed, to ally irritation and con- gestion, soothe and heal inflamed mucous membrane, act as an anti- septic, as this is quite necessary when the disease is due to a germ. The most important factor in the raising of cattle is their care while young. Do not think you are, do- ing the correct thing if you are only managing to keep the life in the calf until it is three months old, and then have it get fat on grass before the winter conies; If you do this, you will be apt 0 have a lot of stunted calves with their digestive organs destroyed which will never make strong, heal- thy cattle and will nut bo good for either dairy, beef or breeding ani- mals. --Dr. David Roberts. A MOVABLE CORN CRIB. A good movable corn crib may be built of barrel staves, that is the walls, the roof of lap siding or any kind of roofing you wast. For the side walls use two lengths of staves and run a pole on the middle to nail the staves on, and run the two rods through the mid- dle of the crib, one through poles and one through plates. The size of the crib is aceurding to how much corn you raise. The walls must slant out a little toward the top, as this will keep out the 1•aie bettor.
