It was clutelay Oltenia Haat :.line's eompanion was indeed the cause and object of the dipsomaniac's singular demonstration. Pushing u) to her, he commencers: a nowt of incoherent abuse, from which, lieforc Waldo and I laid hands on hint, it was only possible to gather that he meant to imply that she was his divorced Wife. Realizing that the wretched creature was not master of his ac- tions, we handled him gently, and, taking an arm each, Ied him to the garden gates. There I gave hien to understand that ho would bo hand- ed over to the police if lie returned to annoy the ladies, further adding that his baggage and his mnnser- vent would be sent ashore the mo- ment 1 got back to the ship, as it was impossible that I could risk a repetition of his outrageous conduct by Permitting hits to continue the voyage. I was worked up into a fine white heat, and slid not stop to consider whether the owners would approve a course which would entail their refunding the price of his ticket. Ori'ht r w.n,t cursing away toward the town, and Widdo and I walked back to the others. We had collared the drunken man so promptly that we hail bad no time to note hots 11 e victim of his diatribes received them, and it was reassuring to find Dna, though still very pale, airs. Ilriukworth was quite composed. Aline, with generous vigor, had taken up the cudgels on her con- 1)0niou's heh1111, and was explaining to the other Indies that, far from Ordebar having divorced his wife, she had in truth divorced him for gross cruelty and misconduct. "Ella has shown mo copies of the Tint's 100taining the report of the trial," the fair young champion was saying as we res uhled our seats, "She has nothing to be ashamed of or to conceal," "Perhaps it would have been bet- ter if I had let it be known that my late husband was on boaru,•• said the injured woman, sadly, "but, I Was aware that he had married again, and I thought that he would have been the first to want to keep our former relations secret." "And so he would, I guess, if he couldhave controlled himself," said Waldo, "It is the condition ho is in that we have to thank for to- day's outbreak. I can't think what our usually astute doctor is up to, leaving him on the rampage about the town." The ladies of the party, as indeed all throughout the ship, were al- ready prejudiced against Oricher, and Aline's advocacy effectually nip- ped in the bud any tendency tney might have had to look askance at 1 lla Brinkworth because of the un- pleasant occurrence. in fact they treated her with the greatest sym- pathy, and when the poor thing began to explain that the name she was known by was really her maid- en name, they begged her not to distress herself by referring further to •the matter. We had arranged to return to the ship for dinner, and the scene in the public gardens having rather damp- ed our ardour, 1 do not think that any 011) was sorry when it was time to go down to the boats. In taking a short cut to the landing place I piloted the party through one of the narrow streets in the lower town where every other house was a sailore' drinking -den either under the pretentious title of wine -shop or as an avowed cabaret, and we had nearly reached the end of the not very reputable thoroughfare, when a man hurrying out of an open doorway almost ran against me. His apologies were cut short at the very commencement by mutual re- cognition. It was Doctor Zavertal, and I hada pretty good inkling of what he was up to, "Pray don't think that I am on the spree, ladies," ho laughed, in re- sponse to the looks of astonishment cast at him, "1 must hope to bo able to clear myself later, but—just a word with yon, Captain," and he drew mo aside, while the others, in obedience to my gesture, went slow- ly towards the landing piece. "You are looking for •Orlebar ?" I said, "Yes," Im replied. "I fully expect- ed to find him at feacconee, but ho must Have got among' the loos .re- spectnble boozing -dens, I am sure to unearth him somewhere bereaway, though." "I shouldn't waste time on him," I replied ; and then I briefly recount- ed what had happened, concluding with tnv determination to send Orlehar's luggage ashore, together with his valet, and to leave the lot behind. Zavertal listened with ev- ery appearance of geunhne annoy- ance to the story of 111e wretched men's behaviour, but the moment I mentioned the course 1 Was going to take I felt that he disapproved of it, through his face expressed nothing more than respectful concern. "You have quite made up your nand that this will be hest, Captain Porreste' ?" he so.Ie, and I funded that his eyes hardened as he Spoke, ''1 Plainly,' I r'eelied. "We can't have a drunken blackguard on board insulting people with reckless lies. What other 'best,' as you call it, can there be ?" "Come," T said, looking signifi- cantly up the street to the corner round which Aline and the rest bad now disappeared, "have you. any ob- jection, Doctor Zavertal ?" "As you ask- me the direct ques- tion, sir," he said, "it is my duty to say that 1 have the very gravest objection to leaving M1'. Oelehar be- hind. Ile has been entrusted to me by—his relatives, as a patient fn serious danger of his life, flow can I reconcile myself to leaving hint stranded here, where be will pro- bably do himself to death in a week ? What shall 1 say to his peo- ple on nay return—and what of my professional reputation ? I do not Fen: how you can expect lee to en- dorse your decision, and I trust sincerely that you will reconsider it. And surely, sir, theacredit of the ship as a safe resort for invalids should weigh with you." From his point of view I quite saw the force of his argument. His appeal, too, was couched so strong- ly and yet so modestly. that almost before I knew it I was debating whether I could yield to his wishes w•ithont loss of dignity. I remember- ed Nathan's instruction to defer to him in all matters affecting the pas- sengers, and .1 was the more ready to do so as he had made no at- tempt to avail himself of an au- thority which ho doubtless knew he possessed, Moreover, if I held out and he cabled home to the owners for confirmation of his wishes, I should look a good doal more fool- ish than if I gave in now, in the very probable event of their backing him up. "We nppcar to be both working to the same end, Doctor—the welfare of the passengers," I said, "Supposing that 1 cancel the arrangement to oblige you, can you give use nay sort of assurance that the man shall not repeat his conduct ?" "You shall have my personal guarantee that nothing of the sort shall happen again," was the reply. "I cannot engage to cure the fel- Iow, either of his disease or of his propensities, but you shall have my entire co-operation in putting any restraint upon him, that may be necessary. I don't care so long as I have him on the ship for treatment, and between you and me, sir, I think that death will relieve us of his presence before long." "So, ]et it be thea,' I said; and, leaving him to continue the search I hurried down to the boat, to fled the others embarked, and waiting for me in some curiosity as to the cause of my delay. I said nothing', however, during the pull out to the boat, out of consideration for ML's. Brinkworth, but confided the change of plan to Wal.clo ns soon as wo ams a»,>hest Th gf!i a that Toils of Approaching Pneumonia or Serious Lung Trouble— Prevent Furvher Trouble by Using Or.

To my satis- faction he abstained from °limiting me on my being overruled by the doctor, and he even assented that "second thoughts wore often best." Orlebar was brought on board by Zavertal 1 .a mrtnl w hive dinner was on In the saloon, and, beteg taken straight to his state -room to bed, he gave rise to no further uneasiness that night. We weighed anchor tiro next morn- ing at fen o'clock, 1111(1 shortly after- wards he appeared on dock, to the surprise of everybody 800111ing better rather than worse for the eseapade lounge placed in its usual position lounge placed in its usual ptsition under the Ise of the smoking -room ; but, instead of perpetually sending to the bar for "pegs" according to his habit, he amused himself quietly with a novel. Aline and Mrs. Brink- worth naturally gave hint a wide berth, buthegave no signs of no - (icing Ids former wife's presence on deck. There was a good deal of ship- ping about in the Straits, and, in consequence, for Several hours after leaving the Bock I remained upon the bridge, whence 1 had a clear view of all that went on below. Eight bells had just announced noon, When. I saw Aline and Mrs. Brink- worth gather up their books and work and go down the saloon stairs. A few moments later Doctor Zavee- tal, who had been paying great attenthee to Orlebar all the morn- ing, came out of the surgery, and, going are, felt his patient's pulse, caretn'11T timing the result with his chronometer, ilo creme away imme- diately, his face very grave, and then he too disappeared down the saloon stairs, after stopping on the Way to answer some remark which General Waldo, whom he stet, made in passing. After patting from the doctor, Weide went on and chatted for 1t moment or two with Orlebar somewhat to 111,y surprise, consider- ing the man's conduct of the day previous—and then joined a group of passengers further aft. At the end of five minutes Iln- riquez, the stowaway, now serving as an assistant steward, came on deck with a tray on which was a glass of dark liquid that looked like port wine. Ile took it to Withal., who drank it at a gulp and replaced the glass on the tray. Lnriquez then started to return below, but as he was nearing the companion- way he tripped and fell, dropping the tray on the deck with such vio- lence that the empty glass was smashed into half a dozen pieces, Regaining his feet in an instant, he collected the bits of broken glass and tossed them overboard, after which he proceeded on his way and disappeared down the stairs. During the next few minutes I wasoccupiedwith the navigation of the vessel, and paid no attention to what was happening on deck. When. x again turned my eyes that way I saw that there was a commotion in the neighborhood of Orelohar's lounge. Zavertal was pushing his way through a number of male pas- sengers who had gathered round it, while the ladies were all looking that way with frightened faces. A minute later a messenger came to me from the doctor to say that Mr. Orlebar was dead, CHAPTER IX. The stir caused by Desmond Orle- bar's death soon quitted down, hardly lasting, in fact, longer than the end of luncheon, which was luck- ily announced shortly after the oc- currence. Zavertul saw to all the uecessary arrangements for the fun- eral, which, -he advised, for excellent reasons, should take place the same afternoon ; and as Ile professed himself able to certify the death as duo to natural causes, it was not for me to put obstacles in the way, I myself conducted the short cere- mony with which the body was committed to tho sea from the fo'c'sle -=well away from to passen- gers, asserVgers, very few of whom know what was going on forward. Orlebar's habits had made him. so unpopular on board, that the only sentiments which I heard expressed about his decease wore of the "serve -him -right" order. All the sympathy evoked was reserved for the unfortunate woman who, by a strange coincidence, had found her- self brought face to face with the miserable creature 1010111 she might reasonably have expected to have gone out of her life for ever. Mrs. Brinkworth kept to her state -room for the restof the day, but Aline, who was constalit in hen' kindness, told ine that she dict not pretend to feel regret for a ratan who had ceas- ed to be anything to ler but a shameful memory. A musical entertainment had been arranged for in the saloon that evening, and, true to the policy which our philosophic bo'sun had suggested, the event of the morning was regarded by Zavertal as a rea- son for holding rather than post- poning it, Find that }l0 was backed In his opinion by a groat majority of passengers, 1 offered no objection, though to mo, who had never sailed in a pleasure -cruiser before, it 000r11 - a little callous. However, as the af- fair was to conic oil, I thought it Weidel be foolish to excite centre - Vevey by absenting myself, and I confess that, apart from the absence of Aline, who was sitting with Mr's, Brinliwoi'th in her cabin, I passed a very festive evening. After the improvised curtain had fallen on the last "turn," I spent an hoar or two on the bridge. When at length I wont to my room to tern in, the passengers had all re- tired for the Bight, and, save, for the throbbing of the engines, the ship Was as quiet as a church, The electric arc ill my cabin had been ewltclied oft as usual the last thing by my steward, and such light as there Was came from an oil lamp whirl) I kept burning all night in caro I Was suddenly called, illy table stood almost beyond the rim 11) at the lonhp's feebie rays, and, therefore, it Was ani, 1111 t had par- tially undressed that T. noticed a. eroded letter lying-. on the top ofmy blotting -pad: The envelope itself was enough to pique curiosity, be- ing addressed to mo in large printed capitals, that suggested ap a agge9tOd e, desire for disguise, Tearing it open, this is what 1 read, written in the same obviously unnatural hand :— To Captain Ieorrester, "Dear sir,• -I am not ono who be- lieves in anonymous letters except in exceptional circumstances, It Is because tlutt the circumstances in which 1 write are very exceptional that l: adopt a mode of celnmunlca- tion that I ordinarily despise.

There are sharp eyes and ears on the Queen of Night. "In conclusion, you will see that if I am wrong in my theory—hunt- ing a mare's nest, in fact—no harm will have been dorso by landing a stowaway in the country to which he professed to be anxious to go. If his account of himself is true ha will bo the first to thank you. On the other hand, if my conjectures are correct, you will have at least thrown obstacles in the way of cruel and designing men," (To De Continued.) T 1.; TORONTO NEWS SAYS: '"Phe Massey 1I'arris Company not only occupies a foremost place among Canadian manufacturing houses, but the amount of capital in'ves'ted in the business, the number of men which it employs, and its vast operations, entitle it to a place among the gredt industrial coaceo 15 of the continent. Outside of the United States, Where the high tariff slakes it practically impossible for a foreign company to clo business, the Massey-I-Tanris binders and mow- ers are known and appreciated wherever agrioulture is carried on under modern conditions. The com- pany has had, and has yet, many keen rivals, even for the trade of the Dominion, and it is entirely owing to the merit of the implements which it turns out that it has been. able to build up the world-wide trade which it now possesses. The heads of the Company are among the most experienced and enterprising business men in the Dominion, and the suc- cess which has attended it ever since its establishment is, no doubt, largely owing to the fact that they have always been on the alert for improvements, and have never rest- ed satisfied with their agricultural machines, 110 natter how well they aright work, while there remained' any chance of increasing their effici- ency. Those who remember the old factory in which the company con- ducted its business for a number of years, have only tolookat the im- mense workshops bb, to -day, cover- ing acro after acre of ground on ICing street west, to realize tho en- ormous development of this busi- ness.

We hear a great deal about it be- ing impossible Lo produce enough 011 our farms to keep them fertile, oven if we replace the whole amount removed by crops on the (Icicle in the form of stable manure, writes kir. 10, In Brown. The trouble is that the lnajortf of those who make this complaint aro the ones who aro not careful enough in handling the manure that accumulates on their farms during the period of stable and yard feeding. They allow largo amounts of the hoot manure to wast'P in one way or another and then complain about it beteg im- possible to ]seep rho soil in a good state of fertility. Everyone knows that it Is a study to keep the soil produeing good crops year after year, but there are those who ac- complish this, and they are our most successful farmers, CAKE OF YAT11I) HHANUl3E, Nearly every farmer leas a method of Iris awn when it comes to the care and handling of bis yard man- ure, Some that have come under my direct observation have been good, while others were far from being anything like a saving me- thod. Those who have their yards either cemented or well bedded in the fall are not going to lose very heavily. Those who turn their stock into their yards when it coulee feed- ing time without some such founda- tion are going to lose more or less of the liquid manure during the course of the winter. They are not only going to lose a largo portion of the liquid manure, but tho wash- ings through the natural fall of the rain will carry away many dollars' worth of plant nourishment that tender the other method of handling would bo saved. Every farmer must have morn or less yard manure, for no one keeps his stock confined to the stable all the time. It is neither healthful for the stock nor profitable for hire to do so. This being the case, we all have to contend with this problem. Probably one of the best methods to follow is to make our yards as small as will be convenient to feed In during the winter and at the sante time largo enough for the stock to take plenty of exercise without being crowded, Where the yards are too large, the waste comes from so much surface being exposed to the storms, and when the manure gots a little soft the stock will punch it up. If it is spread over a large surface, it will allow more of the plant food to be taken up by the soil, and in a place where it will never do any good to the crops. This is something WO should look after, as it will be impossible to keep the farm in its natural state of fertility if part of the manure is lost instead of placing it back on the field from which it was taken. TITEN P1111 SOIL VARIES so much in different localities that ono has to judge for himself just what method is the most practical for his individual convenience. For instance : If one has sand or loose soil of any kind upon which to build his yards, he will not require the amount of bedding he would if he were going to -build them on heavy clay soil. On clay soil the straw rots much quicker than on sandy soil, front the fact that the water does not drain off as' readily, and unless one uses plenty of bedding at the very start, the yards will s0011 become very muddy and disagree- able. If straw is to be used for this foundation on. clay soil, not less than four feet deep should bo put on, as the stock will soon pack it down to almost nothing. With this depth for the bottom, very lit- tle liquid manure will bo lost, oven if itis not hauled from 'the yards till late in the summer. Some farmers are more fortunate than others in this part of their management, as they have largo sheds for their stock to run in when out for exercise and outdoor feed. TMs is certainly the best way to not only protect to yard manure from waste, but the stock from un- looked-for storms, While we cannot have all the conveniences for ad- vanced methods of farming, ,yet more fanners could have some kind of a shelter for the protection of their home-made feetilizer, A good. many farmers do have some kind of a building for the stable manure, and wheel it from the stables to this place every day, Why not have such a place for the yard manure ? ADDING TO TILL YARD MANURE, This can be easily clone when one has taken the trouble to fix his yards to save what ho would ordin- arily lose, There is always more or less coarse fodder to feed out on the farm, and the outdoor yard is the place to feud it. Then . what roughage is not cleaned up by the :dock earl bo 'spread around on the yard and tramped into the manure pile for use later on. You may not have straw dough to keep your yards bedded as you should, If [hie is the case, someone in your neighborhood will have more straw than he will use, Ona can usually buy all tho second-class straw Want- ed at a very reasonable rate, This makes just as good bedding for the yards as a1151, but In case ono has to buy the best stratv and pay the highest price, ie will pay to do 00, as this absorbs the liquid mantlt'o and distributes it eveely throned), the 55110, If a farmer's desire is to build up his farm, then he may as wolf buy straw and other Icincis of ooareo mta- tariel fOr stock feed, as to buy 0001- 1)10)53121.1 fertilizes', thus getting the benefit from both the food and the manure, All the etraW possible should bo used In the bedding, 80 ns to enlarge the manure pilo, w111o11 wile take the .pleee .iyf comulerpityl.

The secret of success in the breed- ing of fine cattle is in starting with the right ideal and sticking to it. 'Pio active years of a man's life are sufficient for his acquiring fable, if not fortune, in brooding one dis- tinct -breed if he starts right, breeds right, and feeds right. It is the fixed, determined purpose that will bring Min to the desired goal, and without this it is cover reached, says Mr. A. 0. Bennie. To the beginners I would say, de- liberate long in the selection of a breed and an ideal. Having once adopted them, persevere to the end in the work of their bettor develop- ment. Choose a breed as you would, choose a wife, and if I remember rightly, 1. married the girl I loved best. A breeder must Lilco his cattle and like his business if he expects time and atony to produce some- thing superior, and demands and re- ceives a price that pays well for the extra pains taken. This rule applies to the raising of cattle as well as to anything else, like produces like, not just alike but often batter. Get and produce the best and you will receive prices accordingly. My experience in many years in cattle buying leads me 1;0 lcnow that the best breeders get the best prices. Let me say to the breeders of fine cattle, breed nothing but the best and ,you will have no cause to complain of a dull market or low prices, THE :CWII AND LA11,113, The feeding of winter Iambs is a business which requires more thor- ough attention than is usually paid to it.

Few peeple know, for instance, that when we go to sleep the whole body 11003 not sink into Insensibility AT THE SAME MOMENT. According to the researches of the French physiologist Cabanas, it is the muscles of the logs and arms which loso their power first. Next, those which support the head; and thirdly, the muscles which sustain the back. Cho, too, with the senses. The sense of sight sleeps last, then the sense of taste, and next the sense of smell. Dearing goes fourth, and last of all the 001100 of touch. Probably you imagine that your pulse always heats with tate 5111110 rapidity. This is quite al mistake. Your pulse varies with the tempera- ture. There is it regular, anneal rhythm which may be represented by something like a regular curve. Most curious of all, the annual rhythms of the pulse in men and Wen1011 are quite different. A roan's pulse beats more strongly in win- ter and fades to a minimum in stmt - mer. Woman's pulse, en the Con- trary, displays a winter minimum and a Blullmer maximum. Ilcliind the bridge of your nose is a little cavity in the skull, the origin of which appears to bo un- known. It probably 010.8 a gland consisting of two tiny lobes joined together, and is named the Sella turcica. Physiologists believe that this is the remains of a sixth sense which was of practical value to our antediluvian ancestors. But whether it enabled them to SLE IN PI3011 DARE - in days before they possessed fire, or helped them to find their way through trackless forests as wild beasts can to -clay, or what other purpose it may have served, we do not, and probably hover shall, know. There is an unsolved mystery in the ear of every human being. The function of certain portions of tho fluter oar is not understood, but merely guessed at. Within the ear are throe small globe -shaped protuberances. These have their inner sides covered with small cells, each of which contains a tiny hair surrounded by a fluid. Whoa you move sharply the hairs folIow the motion, while the lymph naturally moves less rapidly. Thus the hairs are bent in a direction op- posite to that of the movement, and by means of delicate nerves the ir- ritation thus produced is tele- graphed direct to the brain. It is supposed that by means of those hairs swimming til lymph the sensation we call dizziness is caused when wo rotate rapidly, as in. dancing. It is luso believed that sea -sickness has something to do with the same phenomenon. It has been noticed that some persons, when suffering from ear diseases that have destroyed parts of the in - 1e1' car, have found it du0icult or impossible to maintain their balance when standing upright with eyes closed. It is therefore possible that these peculiat car -organs contain some inexplicable sense not generally classi(lod as such—the static sense; or sense of balance,—London An- swers.
