Carrie asked me a hundred questions, and I answered them. all. I told her all my bad story of the Crimea and the death of levee; and the heartlessnese of Amy, and hew I had gone - to DartalOOT and found nty old friend dead, and how I had come to London, and why I had not beat. en the Sew until that day'. • "And why did you boat him now?" asked Carrie', "Roofsese he insulted 700."

'Th." said Nan, "I shall get better Aud eo, We talked on till after nine o'clock. wlaen I rose and said I must go. Carrie and Nan exehanged glances. "You'll some back again?" said Carrie. "Honor bright?" "Honor bright." I went -to the bedside and took the child's hand in mine. "Are you beiter, Nan?" "yes; bettor now. You'll come back?" "You will see me ia the morning," I .said, atroking her hair. She looked at me steadily with her grave, young eyes, nve a little sigh; and said, "Good -night. me soon.' "You will come soon?" Carrie added. "And you'll tell no about the soldiers," said Neu. , "Yea of emcee." _ "And about the fields and the ;thins. I never roan a field," said Nan. "You shall eats a field, my dear." "A real one?" • "Yes, with flowersin it, only got better soon. Good -night.", I bent down and kissed her, and she clung to my neck a moment with one hand, answering. "Good -night, Willie, come real soon." And so I left her; and Oarrie eaw me to the "Climanny," she said. with a roarching look, "you wou't leave me tide time?" "I will not leave you, Carrie."

If I can get the money we will emigrate. If not we will fight it out in England." Carrie nodded and smiled. "Anywhere," she eaid; "what does it matter to chains?' _ "Then," said 1, making a dash for it, "when shall we get married?" "Married?" .173:1,aear, you will marry marry "Starry? .

She knelt upon the floor, hid her face against my kuoe, and gripping my hand in hers, began to oty.

Will you promise?" - But at that .moment Nan awoke, and atarting up in bed called out, "Carrie, what' e the matter? lie isn't going to leave us? -Carrie. don't! You frighten me." Poor Carrie ran to her sister, laughing and crying. took her in her arms, hugged her, kissed, her, and repeated a dozen timea, "Nan, Nan, Nannie! We are go- ing to get married! We are going to live with Willie. You obeli be his sister and ate his wife," 'I was so much affected by this that I had a great mind to cry mYeelf, but I oontrolled myself and drew Carrie away from her eister. "My dear," I said, "you vrill make Nan 611. Sit down and be quiet." Carrie threw herself into a ohair and laughed hysrterioally. Nan shook her hair out of her eyes, regarded_ ,ous in a wondering way for a few moments,- and then said gravely, "My sister, airs. liomer-ain't that primer I turned to Carrie. "Come," I said, and held out my arms. She came to meat once. "Say yes," urged, "Flay yes.', "Yes, yes, yes," she answered, nestling against me. "Oh, novr I never want to die! Never, never." . And then Nan burst into tears, and - that was my wooing. The next day Mrs. Armitage came to London and went with me to eee 107 two poor little friends. Nan waa awed by the apparition of "the lady," and could scarcely be got to speak, but Carrie re. oeived her with a modeet.frankness which "Never? onor bright? Never?" was very o arming. "Never, Carrie." As for 'Mrs. Armitage, ehe was kinduees She °tang close to me, rubbing her thin itself, and took the two friendless girls cheek against my rough coat, and I kissed to her heart at once; indeed, ehe begged very hard that Nan should stay with her her bande and forehead, aud bidding her return to her sister, set off to find fresh as her adopted child, but Nan dung to lodgings for myselL her sister, and .would say nothing but -Leave her!

Cold Peach Charlotte.—Butter a baking dish, place in it a very light layer of bread crumbs, then a deep layer of pettehe:s ; sprinkle thickly with ;powdered sugar, then repeat until dish is full, crumbs forming the last layer. Crumbs should not be use,c1 t,00 plentifully if peaches are dry, as the crumbs absorb the juices. Place pieces of butler over these and hake half an hour. Servo cold with whipped cream slightly flavored with vanilla. Swedish Meat Omelet.—Mince any cold meat on hand, ham or Lomb being prefera;ble; put in saucepan, moisten with a little milk or cream. Then pla.ce, when heated through, in mound on dish which withstands heat of oven. Beat up whites of eggs, one for each person to be served, and place upon meat mound, make depression with, a tea- spoon in whites of eggs, and very carefully slide into them the yolks of the eggs. Brown in oven and serve at once. Entire Wheat Bread.—One quart of flour, half cake yeast, half tea- spoon of salt, three cups water, half tablespoon butter or lard. Dis- solve yeast in lukewarm water, add lead or butter, then flour, gradually and lastly, salt, mixecl,thoreughly; pla.ce in well -greased bowl, cover and set aside in a warm place, to rise until double its bulk, then turn out on kneading board and knead thoroughly. Mould into loaves, place 111 well -greased small baking pans, cover and set aside ot rise. When again double ite bulk ba,ke M ,hot oven 50 or 60 minutes, untilerust i,a well browned, as crust is the most nutritious part of the bread. This makes two small loaves. Crea,med Ham with Poached Eggs.-- Cook three-quarter clip of milk in double boiler for 15 minutes with a little celery and onion: Then remove celery and onion from milk and add level tablespoon and a half of butter and same of flour. These ingredients are to be creamed toge- there before using, in the usual way. When mixture is thick, cover and allow it to cook 10 ramutes. Now add.

Put a nicely poached egg on each piece of toast. The most astute breakfaster wiIl not suspect the left -over morsel contained therein. Cabbage and Pepper Salad.—For this shred finely a pint measure of young crisp cabbage, and add to it two shredded peppers and, if liked, averys1. • • • aght grating of onion, or use onion salt for part of the sea- soning. Make a boiled dressing, using two tablespoonfuls of butter, two eggs, one cup of vinegar, two teaspoonfuls qf sugar, one tea- spoonful of dry mustard, two-thirds oi a teaspoonful of salt and a little pepper. Put all ingredients except the vinegar in the inner vessel of double boiler and cook over het wa- ter until they begin to thicken; then add the vinegar and continue the cooking three minutes longer. Beat the dressing occasionally while cooking. If not all used, this will keep for fut•ure use. Salt Rising.—At night slice two large raw potatoes quite -thin. Add a tablespoonf el of flour, a teaspoon- ful of sugar, a half teaspoonful of salt, and one-fourth of a teaspoon- ful of soda. Over this pour a pint of warm but not hot water; cover all elosely and keep warm over night. In the morning put this mixture into a double boiler and keep warm (never hot, remember I) at the back of the range until it is Loamy. The,n take out the sliced potatoes aatcl throw them away. Add to what is left a cupful of milk whieh has been scalded then cooled to blood warmth; a tablespoonful of lard, a teaspoonful of sugar, and O half teaspoonful of lard.. Lastly Air in a pint of warmed flour, and Get away in a warm place until it is light. This should be in an hour or loss. When it has risen well, add flour enough to enable you to knead the dough readily. It is impossible to give the exact quantity of flour, but the dough should be a little softer than for yeast bread. Mould inta loaves cut once; put into pans, and when it has doubled in bulk, bake about an hour in a moderate oven. ;FUMBLE OE ALL TIIE AGES. Cairo a Mixture of the Antique and the Modern. What were my first impressions of Cairo?' Perhaps I was rather dis- appointed, or perhaps it was Mere:* ly that I was feeling decidecllY shaky as a result of a desperate passage from Liverpool, says a writer in the Christian Herald. At any rate it struck me at first that the whole place was frightfully mo- dern. The street cars, the hotels, the carriages and automobiles, with their fashionable English and American occupants, -even the pe- destrians, seemed prosiacally up-to- date. But this was an impnession which did not last; for in the na- tive quarters of the city you may see Cairo to -day -os it was a thou- sand years ago. and even on the most fathiona,ble thoroughfares you will frequently witness scenes which will carry you -back into by -gone ages—scenes which the—dominant modern note merely ,serves to throw into strong relief. I have specially in -mind the old water -sellers,, with their an -tient jars and goat -skins thrown over their backs. It is interesting to se.e these old Eellows parading up and down on- the sidewalk, mingling with, the up=to-date citizens of the present day. The calTle contrast is notire,able out un the street. An automobile of the la,te,st, design is followed (more, leisurely !) by a camel mounted by an Arab of the desent. Pelow the waist his body sways to and fro in rhythmic ac- cord with the absolutely noiseless tread of the great clumsy animal. And the man himself gazes silently and 'steadily straight; ahead, look- ing neither to the righth ha.nd nor to the left, as, if Ithe,re was nothing in front of him but limitless miles of sand.

A CENTENARIAN. A won,derful span of life was that of Jahn Eipher, of 16 Archer street, Toro-nto„ \she° death occurred last week. During his 103 years Canada, has grown from a series of little - valued colonie.s to a united nation. Many of the 'greatest inventions have been achieved. There have been half a dozen British sover- eigns. Three generations have come and gone. A few events might be metaled to illustrate the happen- ings of this one lifetime. Although further importation of slaves into Upper Canada had been forbidden in 1793, slavery still ex- isted in York (Toronto) until two years after John Pipher was born. He was three years old when the war of 1812 took place,; twenty-eight when the insurrection of 1837 took plaoe. He remembered it well. He was thirty-two when respon- sible government was achieved, with the union of Upper and Lower Canada. • He was far past the ordinary "prime of life"—a, man of 58—at Confederation. He had lived under George III., the Regency, George IV., William IV., Victoria, Edward VII., George V. There were 25 Governors of Can- ada and Governore-General of the Dominion during his lifetime. The Accommodation, first steamer to navigate the St. Lawrence, made the journey from Montreal to Que- bee„,three- days being eonsumed in making the down -trip of 180 miles. At that time the only canals in Canada were the Coteau du LW, Casca,cles, and Sault Ste. Marie. John Pipher was a lad of sixteen when George Stephenson completed the first, railway in' Engla,nd. He was ttworityseven when the first, railway was opened in Canada, namely, the Ohaanpion and St. Law- rence. A Canadian -built vessel, the Roy- al William, had the distillation of being the first in the world to- cross the Atlantic by steam power alo-ne,. nut Pipher was a man of twenty- four when that occurred. Up to the date of his birth, there had been only fifteen newspa'pere established in Canada. St. John, N.B., was the only in- corporated -city. Tbare,were probably six hundred souls in York (Toronto), ancl 801000 white in Upper Canada. The first Canadian bank note was not issued until Pipher was eight years old. He.as thirty-eight when the first telegraph wires were -strung iu Can- ada; sixty -eight, --almost at the al- lotted plan—when Alexander Gra- ham Bell invented the telephone. — Don't -spend half your life in the making Of promises onleot you want to give 00 the other etking of excuses. 1' itabaseveiteataaaegebatea, On the Farm $ WIIEN TO SELL HOG -S. I write only from my own experi- ence of over twenty years in rais- ing hogs for the market, writes Mr. W. C. Holstead. ' Different localities and different; feeds make a great deal more or less profit in the keep of the hog. Some fee,cl too long and consume part of the profit, while others feed not long enough or liberally enough to make what they ought to make. I run all my hogs no alfalfa from birth until sold, either for bree,ders or .for the packer, and as ac101 au they weigh 200 pounds each, or about tha.t, I sell or kill them. lf yek are feeding pure-blooded hogs (especially if the blood is red) they will weigh from 375 to 225 pounds each at six to eight months of age. I think seven months old is the best age, and the most profit- able hog we Call sell. The younger you sell, the less risk of disease, the less trouble, time and feed it takes. The sooner you sell, the more room and the better care for the next litter. The che,apest gain is made while the pig is small. A pig weighs about three pound,s at birth. With reasonable care it will gain on an average one-fourth, pound a day for the first ten to twenty days. So you see it doubles its weight in twelve days, and at 65 cents per bushel for corn. and $1.50 for 100 pounds for shcas the first throe pounds of gain cost about 3'/I cents per pound, allowing eight pigs to the litter for each eow. I figure on the rule that it takes only a small amount of fire to heat a baling wire, but it would take a lot of fire to heat a 300 pound rod of iron. - -So I say it takes a little to make a pig gain a pound per day. Bet it takes about eight M, ten ears of corn per day and eaine slop to make O pig hold its own. Some men say, if the market is low. feed longer (even though feed is high), prices may go up. Others will say, "Feed is high, I will sell (while they are not fat); prices may go down." Don't try to get the market ready for your hogs, but get .your hogs ready for the, market. Sell them when they are fat and not before. Keep the kind that top the market and you will make money if feed is high. Registered hogs gain faster, bring more money for the breeder, 'and make more pounds of meat out of the grain fed them than any other animal Cal earth. RECLEARING OLD FIELDS. There are many old fields that have been thrown out years agoand have so grown up with scrubtimber,, green briars and other filth that it looks to be almost an impossible undertaking to reclear them, says Mr. A.

A few years ago I had a field overgrown with greenbriers and pine. Ther e were patches of green - briers so dense that it was impossi- ble to get through them, let alone grub them cut. , These thickest patches were burn- ed through. The fire killed other briers, then in a few months they too would halm, so I made it a rule that whenever I found a patch of greenbrier dry enough to burn I would set fire to it. The pines were all cut, down, and when they gat dry, they too were burn ed. The briers were kept dawn by the stook grazing over them.
