"Well, I don't know I did not think of that;" he said, atter a moment's silence. .find then he glanced up at the girl's files, and there was something in its moist- fui, pleading look that touched him. "Suppose you do read to me for a quarter of an hour," he said sod- deuly. "Look here, you may try this article ; but sit down, Letty, sit down," he exclaimed quickly ; for in her humility, after be had given her the paper, she showed no intention 00 taking a chair; So she sat down and began to read. He had expected her perform- auco to he a very poor and bungling one, but to his surprise it was not ; she read in a low, sweet voice, ac- curately and intelligently. "That is very good—very gObd in- deed," he said cordially, when she had finished the article he had point -Everyone ed out. "You read very nicely in- deed ; I had no idea you did it so well, I will give you one other thing to read now, and then I dare- say that will bo enough for to- daswch So she read for a few minutes more, and then rose up. "Thank you very much, Lofty," he merely said, as she laid down the paper. He was tired, and did not car•o to listen any more. `I think whenyougo downstairs you had better send Mrs. Ross to Hie," he said, and he laid his head wearily pillnw ;and she went back on hisand gently away, feeling ghat ale had too,been a little cvery hs;lledbut thet feeling,ast. 110 had heti but told he that Imre would let her read to him a ruin an- other day I But he had been too weak and' tired to say anything about the future, and she wee' Hwa with n certain sense: of di it meat.

I have never yet seen a good dairy cow that did not give evidence' of vi-� tality and nerve and 'physical force in the expressiolt of the ]lead and eye. Cows with blank expressions will be correspondingly inclined to inferior records. Constitutional vie- or and digestive capacity are among the' first essentials, and among Lbe evidencesHunt evidences of large dairy tho first requisite is aYwell -formed udder and well developed mammary veins and a good circulatory system, Any' developed tow that produces well is certain to give evidence of it in these chief cheractoristics. A. num- bee of other features enter in for minor consideration only. In the ring which was the subject of the most controversy,it was the cow with distinct and pronounced type that won This cow was a little under size, but criticism practically ended there and the un- der size was more apparent than real owing to her standing. on remarkablykinds strong legs. Slro had decidedly the best udder and the most clean cut dairy type of any colo in the ring, It was said that she was beefy, but she was not. On the contrary, she was freer from a totldexu, toward coarseness and surplus flesh than any of her rivals. Tito cola that won first in 11)0 two-year-old ring, and was subsequently awarded the championship ,aver all ages, more nearly approached this type than any other animal in the show. I believe that both decisions were cor- rect, although it is unusual to place a heifer over a mature cow. The heifer was placed at the head of her class by a unanimous verdict of the judges. She was awarded champion - ship by the vote of two members of a committee of three, the other vote being cast for the cow that won first in the aged ring.' T am inclined to think that there ryas more centro- vet'sy •about the first Prize cow to aged class than was fully justi- nod by her variation from the ac- opted type. It true that there were a number of cows highly prized by some of the critics that were of quite a radicallyu q different type, but it was a typo that suffered in coin- Parison with flat of tho prize twin- ners in both the two-year-old and he aged rings. then one bleb of sleeked lime, and Anally two fnoltos of earth, which May 1.0 atVa#11p Meek, yarx! scral;xlgs, ptal)OydldeOO,apd With 1tP11OrµYli}1t4a1 used, Repeat those latera din eemo artier until the Pile la four to Six loot high.

Mr. Trolawney was a prisoner his room for six weeks, and then that blessed April day arrived when, with a stick 1n one hand, and with the other banes leaning on the nurse's shoulder, the thin worn mart at last recrossed the threshold of his sick- chamber, ,mid retuitied to the little world where a few kind people had missed him, and whore his absence had made one poor foolish heart al- most bleed to death. As the slow, little procession came along the passage, the nurse and Mr. Tre- lawney in front, Mrs. Markham, laden with shawls and pillows, fol- lowing, Letty watched it through half-closed door with eyes that could hardly look for gladness. So was not going to die, but to live For a glad fortnight past this thought had been with her night and 'day, like a great fountain of joy— "like the shadow of a rock in weary )and"—the thought with which she had gone to bed at night and risen in the morning—that had beau meat and drink and life to her. They could not take Alr.

He sat fora long time in a half- dreamy idleness, too weak as yet almost to enjoy his return to life, but still glad. in a kind of faint way, to see the outer world again— contented to feel that death had passed by him, It had troubled him while his illness had been at its worst, to think that he might die and leave his book unfinished he had wanted to recover, that he Wright return to it, and get at least a portion of his life's labor mom- pleted, so that (even if he should die after that) something at least might be given to the world ; but now the thought of his book pressed very little upon him. Ho should return to it presently, he hoped—but mean- time the hold it had had of hint seemed to have got loosened • the power both of thought. and of long- ing had become weak, He had been sitting doing nothing for a good while, when Mrs. Mark- ham came back into the room. "Aire you grttiug tired, sir ?" she ,the asked him.'You've not been able to make much of your reading, I am afraid," ..Well, no, not much, My eyes are too tweak, I find," he answered.

And two or three minutes after- wards a gentle little knock carne to the door, and in answer to Mr. Tee- lawney's "Com¢ in," Lefty appear- ed, with timid eyes, and cheeks from which excitement and agitation had chased every drop of blood, "Come in," Mr. Trelawney repeat- ed kindly.

Willgttnsz's first stop in Africa was at Cape Town, but the ship continued up the Indian ocean 800 Wailes to Durban be' fore the horses wore unloaded: The doctor was, in :South Africa:a month, and, in that time, Ito says, a good opportunity was given him to study the Boer as an Individual. His '°Pill- son of the burgher is not flattering. SEVERAL LIES NAILED, Dr, Willgansz was asked about the detention or reeoneontrado camps which have been the cause of many bitter attacks upon the. British by Boor sympathizers. "It has been stated that :the women and children in those camps aro in- sufficiently fed," said he. "That is simply not true. I was in those camps—lots of them— and I saw for myself day after day. The people in t11em are well fed, better than they over were before iu their lives. If they don't like the Iife there, it's be- cause they have to keep clean. Some of the Boers that aro brought in there haven't had a bath in' five years. But the British make them keep clean and as healthy as possi- ble. There are doctors in attend Ince, and the people get medicines when they need them. I don't say that all the Boers aro uneducated and don't wash. but most of them live like heathen. There aro a few C them'educated and civillaed, but the majority stand in the light of I in every possible way. "Of course, the leaders are intelli- gent• men, and their forces are hard - more than slaves. They believe ust what their leaders toll them. I 1aPPened to be away hack from the coast for a few days and the Doers up there all thought that Cape Town I' ort Elizabeth, and bast London and, in fact, all the towns and coun- try on the seacoast were in the hands o1 the Boers. That is a fact. The eadore have told them such is the ase and they believe it. They aro told that all they have to do is to drive the//8511811 out of their own Pastre as the rest of the country has been cleared of them. "The Boer's who are brought down o the coast to be sent away took vitt amazement at the peaceful life here, and are vastly surprised to see he British in charge. They all link the coast is in the hands of he Boers. Things are misrepresent - to these ignorant burghers. Talk about the English being hard' on Lineir prisoners, and cruel beyonghu- nanity, and all that! 'Why, I know or a positive fact that tho Boers, oder flags of truce, go to the Eng- ish and ask for bandages, and =di- nes, and they're not refused. No, ir, not once have the English rotes - to give out those things to the nenhy. But, the other way, when an nglishman is taken prisoner. Why, 10 Boers starve him two or throe ti, • and then strip hint of his lothos, and send him off, telling slim o report to Isis captain. Sometimes they paint the soldiers all colors, nd tell them to go back to their amps. No, I tell you the Boers di • want education. Of course, m spoakcing of the masses.

The Boor is indolent, Willing o boat his 'Kaffir slave, and have hi do all the work and, let me tell ou that the natives of Africa aro ailing their chance to get at the oera.

That's all onsonse. :Every li'l1uhan in the •11y down there knows what the ners aro. Knowing they'll light gainst them. Why, the Boers late atholics. I say this, because so any Catholic societies have assisted e Boers. They don't know what cy're doing." Dr. Willgansz was told of the cru. de against the practice of selling ncrican horses to the T3ritish army. WHO GETS T1111'itENI F1T.
