' The other marriage took place a month later, when Clive and Rina had return- ed from a honeymoon which lead been one of. such perfect happiness that in after years they stole away together to repeat it.

His strength came bank. to him. and Mina blossomed not only. into a lovely woman, but Into so strong a one that she was able to take her share in Clive's outdoor sports. She learnt to ' ride, to fish. to wally long distances— in fact, she became that precious gilt to a husband—a Companion, They might have continued their wanderings for a. still longer period but for an approaching event and some sud- den news which made their immediate return. to .England imperative. Clive brought the news to her as she was sit- ting in a I'lorentlne gnrden.

But if Mina's social .success may be described as extraordinary, there•Ss only one word by which to designate that of Tabby, when,,. yielding to Mina's insist- ence, she appeared at Mina's side; and that word is phenomenal. She leapt into popularity at One bound, and Quilton and Clive stood by and watched her, the one laughing with delight, the other with .impassive calm, devoid Of the slightest sign of surprise, as TibbY soared triumphantly through the celes- tial realms of what sho called "tlie up- per ten." No function of any import- ance was considered complete without the presence of the pelf -like form and the pretty, shrewd .face of the charming I\'Irs. Quillen. The fashionable world petted and car- essed her; they copied her walk, her gee - tures, her very accent; they quoted her sharp Cockney sayings, and were never tired of laughing at and applauding her witty comments andreionldets, The Se- piety papers presented her portrait in their supplements, and embalmed her epigrams in paragraphs; and through It all, strange to say, and yat not strange to say', Tibby kept that wonderfullittle head of hers perfectly level Tiley are just like anybody- else, Henry." she informed Quilton aster one occasion of particular triumph. They are just like the people down at the Rents, only they'veggot the habit of washing their faces, and always eating with their forks instead of their icnlves.

There's only 0110 thing you mustn't do, you mustn't be afraid of them. They get the pull of you then. Pleetanoe, last night when the Ductless of Mlibury asked me If Mina was mule a Bower girl before she welt on the stege—like her cheek, wasn't it?—I said yea: and that she made up the bouquet the Duchess carried on her wedding day. 2,'or, you see, I happened to know that the Duch- ess was on the 'halls; and Unit she ran away with that softy the Duke, when he was Lord Poultry, and used to hang about the stage doors." Quilton laughed witha-quiet enjoy- ment; but Elislla—he was a groat swell by this time,and wasalmost as much in request, on account of his, musical gifts, as his brilliant daughter—Elislia looked rather aghast "What did she say, Tibby?" he asked. "0h, she's not a bad sort, the Duch- ess," replied 'Tiby. bwith a grin, "She looked me up and down for a minute; then she burst out laughing, a. regular music -hall laugh, and said quite good- temperedly, What a sharp little dear You are: plucky tool I'm very fond et that sister of yours—though how she came t0 be your sister. goednesel Only knows!

DREAD O1' x1OGI'S iDf7VN. In 2110 Russo-Japall0Se War the Ilimssians Feared Them. It often happens that the reputa- tion of a sueeessful general and his men has a great effect in winning other battles, Such was the ease with Baron Nogi and the third Ja- panese army, which he commanded. Tilis daring end relentless officer led the famous flanking movement on the Russian right at Mukden. Says Mr. Stanley Washburn in "N'ogi,1 To the private's of the Siberian steppes and the peasants drafted from the valleys of the Volga and the far-off Nova, this man Nogi was the incarnation of fury, the demon of war. His Medi were pictured by camp fires at night as devils of blood and fire, who would stop at nothing, who eagerly sought death in their efforts to reach a hand-to- hand encounter with their foes. Again and again the story of 203 Meter Hill, where the Japanese sacrificed 15,000 men in order to gain an observation station, 9 tier' was told in the Russian ranks, The sol- diers told one another also how the J'ap'anese infantry, in one assault, exhausted and with ammunition spent, refused to retreat, and re- mained and threw stones at their enemies until the last man was kill- ed. The great dread in every divi- sion ivision of the Russian army was that Nogi himself would be thrown against therm. When at last the attack' came, there could be no doubt of where T And how Nogi 1 was 'striking.the e g first point of contact ,the Vete'a ne of Port Arthur, who thought fight- ing in the open was nothing after storming the grisly heights of the beleaguered fortress, appeared suddenly, without warning, on the Russian flank and well toward the rear. Their first assault crumpled up the Russian defense like paper. With characteristic Japanese sub- tilty their officers had taught them the battle cries in the Russian lan- guage, and they advanced, scream- ing between their banzais, "We are Nogi's men from Port Arthur 1" The instant this fear -inspiring cry was heard on tho Russian flank, the battle was lost. '..ho spirit of de- spair spread like a prairie fire, and soon the whole great army was in retreat, not the retreat of sheer panic, but the stubborn withdrawal of men who knew that victory was impossible. b Shortness of Breath. The words (10 not mean difficult breathing, which usually Dames from some obstruction in the air passages, but a quickening of the respiratory movements, because the person who is affected feel's the need of more air. There are many ways in which shortness of breath may arise. It is often one of the symptoms of illness; sometimes the illness affects the blood, so that it cannot carry oxygen enough for the needs of the body; sometimes the heart does not maintain a suf- ficiently rapid circulation of the blood; sometimes the lungs are so wasted that they have not enough surface left to reeeit=e the air that is breathed in. In some cases the chest is deformed or undeveloped, so that the lungs suffer from mech- anical ohstruetion. In considering the eases "tv11ere the blood is at, fault, remember that shortness of breath is always found in connection with anaemia, whe- ther it be chronic or temporary in ohmmeter, and whether it be can's - ed by disease or by mere loss of blood. When the symptom arises in diabetes or uraemia, it is a sign of the serious blood changes that coeur in those diseases. When a person begins to complain of habitual shortness of breath, it is, important to have ao physical ex- amination made witthout delay, One reason is tihat tuberculosis often begins with no other symptoms than shortness of breath and a slight cough. If these cases are seen and diagnosed very early, it is not hard to areest tlieni. The •symptom is, of course, pre- sent in such troubles as pneumonia, broncho -pneumonia, and pleuriisy, which'atteck the organs of breath directly. Violent exercise naturally o11,11ses temporary 011M -zest of breath. In the Dasa of healthy peo- ple, it disappears quickly when the exercise ceases, If it does not do so, it •s a good plan to have a earre- . $ill etalni:natcon in o'1`'� e;1' to ffnd•o2111 what its "wi*orltg. Young people sometimes persist in a favorite form of exercise after they have begun to notice their shortening breath; in that they may do themselves lifelong injury, --Youth's Companion.

There may be some era - mals on the farm whinh can he ear - red along through the winter on moderato rations, but fattening stock and dairy cows do net belong to that class. The farm teams that are not bo- ing worked do nob require a full re- tion of grain food during the win- ter', but it is costly economy to rough them during the winter on short ration's. The horse that is allowed to run down in flesh condi- tion during the winter cannot do as efficient service during the apring's work as he could if he were fed well during the winter. No main ever made money feeding live Owls jusb enough to keep them alive. In feeding fattening stock and dairy cows, gain and profit come in proportion to the amount of food the animals put to good use. Tho fattening should hound have no setbaeka an the best feeders are the ones who know when to feed high priced grains and ase not afraid to feed full rabions. Dairy Improvements. Remarkable records have been made by dairy cows during the last few years. Not only have breeders developed wonderful cows, but they have raised the average standard of the various breeds and added to their beauty and adaptability. Many additions have been made o each year to the already loin lists g of adanced registry dairy cows, and in the case of the Holstein, Jer- sey and Guernsey breeds many cows have been developed which shove the way to future progress. While the leading breedalvi of dairy cattle are working hard to raise the average of their animals, the dairymen should work still harder to raise the average yields of their herds, for they are the ones who should ultimately derive the most benefit from this improved blood. Some Good 1Torse Sense. The farm horse fills a more im- portA•nt place in prodnotion than env other animal. The colt that keeps its baby fat the first years tells of good care, skillful feeding and fine growth. Do not try to get a colt from every mare oil the farm, but from those that are likely to bring the best stock. Nowadays farmers are beginning to awaken to the fact that it takes strong horses to do good work on the farm. The fact that almost any horse can be made to do something at farm work is no valid excuse for men who profess to have their own in- terests at heart to persist in breed- ing horses that nobody wants, not even themselves.
