' But as 'tho sky grow inky black _and broken only by the weird streaks "of lightning,' terror and remorse assailed her in equaT-proportions; ', terror on her ow-n account, remorse 0n MannoringJs; for hero she, was oil tlio ragnng sea, nnd she ,ha-d left h'nm ���> to the awful,solitude of the i and. She had .picked up enough' of1- seamanship to lower her'sail, and' she lay, or rather crouched, on'the raft, drawing the saiL over her to afford her partial protection from the rain and the wind. Trcsently she felt .rather than saw that the raft,, was becoming disintegrated, and, rising to her knees; she reached for the,, sheet, the' rope attached to thc sJail,v and, winding'it round her,'1 fastened-it to a couple of;the poles'of which' the, raft was composed. She did this mechanically, 'and after, half unconsciously, ^asking herself what JYin- noring .would do if he woro in , her plight. It was.singular 'how; even' in this moment of her solitude and extremity, she relied upon him. ��� It was well that she had! taken this precaution, for, tho storm growing moro furious, the raft soqn after broke up and she found herself floating on the smaller portion. The howling of the wind, the dull roar of thc sea deafened, and the .salt and' spume of the waves blinded her, and she closed her eyes and prepared lor death; but instead of tho death which she would have welcomed there fell upon her a kind of swoon, the stupor of exhaustion and terror. The storm fell as suddenly as it had arisen, and she opened her eyes to see the sun shining through * a thick mist.. The sea was quite calm now and the logs to which she was tied floated almost motionlessly. She was parched with a thirst which made hunger of no account, and she knew, in a subtle fashion, , that her, brain was-giving way. Justus Mannering "had done, she found herself talking and holding conversations with him; she went through tho whole of thc marriage ceremony with him, re-enacted the scenes in the saloon, lived over again thc life in the island. Then she fell into a profound unconsciousness, but-after a time she came to again, and found that she was still floating in this di cam-like mist. Her whole past life seemed like a dream. Was this wide sen, the island, her marriage, only a dieain? How long she floated on the calm mill-pond of a sea she did not know, but presently the mist was penetrated by the sound of music. With closed eyes she listened.,, Was she dead, nnd was this the music of the heavenly cnoii? If so, she was at rest in the bourne from whence no tiaveler returns. But Mannering, her husband ���he was still on bis desolate island. Oh, how could she have left him! Tho music grow louder and distinct, nnd it seemed to her oarthly; she heard a \oice. a ���tMtorlan volco, call: -3rnn over. board! Stop her!" Then her senses slipped from her slowly, easily, and when they roturned and sho opened her eyes again thoy met thc pitying PRESSED TO DEATH. [)-���>*rfal fauijliiiieiit Tlmt Obtained Under Old EugliNu Luiv. Under the old English law if a pri�� oner stood mute and failed to plead ro the indictment �� jury was Impaneled to determine whether his conduct came from obstinacy or from a natural impediment. According to Blackstone, if the prisoner was found to be obstinately mute and the indictment was for high treason it was settled that his silence was equivalent to a 'conviction and that judgment and execution should follow. This same rule applied to petit larceny and misdemeanors, but upon appeal or inuictiuGits for other felonies or petit treason, according to the ancient law, the prisoner was not deemed convicted; but, because of his obstinacy, he received '"the terrible sentence of penance or peine" aud "was piessed to death. Blackstone thus describes this pun- tshiuent: "Thut the prisoner, be remanded to the prison from whence he came and put iu a low, dark'chamber aud there be laid on his back on the 'bare'floor, naked unless decency forbids; that there be placed upon his body as' great a 'weight of iron as he could bear and more; that he should have.no sustenance, save only On the first,day three morsels of the worst bread, and on the second day three drafts of standing water that should' be nearest tbe prison door, and In this' situation this should be alternately h'is daily diet till he died or (as anciently the judgment ran) till 'lie answered." ' t During the trials for witchcraft in New England a respectable citizen being so accused,' knowing (that < by reason of the excitement of the times a plea of not guilty and trial would result'in a conviction with confiscation of, property, nnd the same' judgment would follow a plea of guilty,''refused lo .plead, thereby preventing'a conviction and enabling his l'aitfily to retain -his property. The court ordered that he, be pressed because of his obstinacy. The, order was carried out, and the victim died. ,' ��� ��� ', THE SETTING HEN���Her failures have discouraged many a poultry taiser.

Once upon a time there was a man who spent eight of the best years of. his life coloring a meerschaum pipe, only to find at tbe end of that period that ��� he had been nursing a piece of "massakopfe" instead of the genuine "ecume de nier." , The "massakopfe" is a composition made of the parings of genuine meerschaum aud a mineral clay. Tb.3 parings are triturated to a tine powder, boiled iu water and molded into blocks, with or without the addition of clay. Each block is then cut into a bowl, but as it contracts considerably il must be left some 'time to dry. These bowls are distinguished j from the genuine meerschaum by their J greater' specihe gravity, but there is ao ' absolutely certain test by which tlio 'real meerschaum can be told' from tbe composition. , > In forming a pipe fromr, "ecume de mer" the' silicate of magnesia is prepared for the operation by soaking in a composition of wax, oil and fats. 'The wax; and oil absorbed by tbe meerschaum are tlie cause of the,color produced, by smoking.^ 'The heat of tho burning 'tobacco causes tlie wax and 'fatty substances to pass through the stages of a dry .distillation, and, becoming associated Avitb the products ' of the, distillation of the tobacco, they, are diffused through the substances .of the bowl, producing those gradations of Hut which are so much prized, In some cases the , bowls are artificially colored by dipping .them, before being 'soaked in'wax,'in a solution of sulphate of iron, either alone or mixed with'dragon's blood. . t * t Good meerschaum is soft enough to be indented bjT the , thumb nail.

Many judges assume that the heavier kinds are spurious, but there is no absolute,, proof that such Is the case. A negative test may be mentioned. Tho composition bowls never exhibit those little blemishes \whichtresult'from the presence of foreign bodies in,the natural'', meerschaum. Therefore ,if a , blemish occur in a. meerschaum bowl, which' is very; frequently the case,' the genuineness of .the ^bowl is, rendered most probable.

Minister of Agriculture Deplores Rush of Country Youth Citywards. oHon.' Nelson Monteith, Minister of Agriculture, is somewhat concerned 'over, the;, apparent lack of Intercs' in the science of agriculture as exhibltpd by-the young of the.,, province. There is no noticeable 'diminuatlon, ho, .says, in the rush citywards of the young men and women; ,\vho at an curly age, began to find farm burdena, Irkstom-;, and long for the' pleasures, and excitements they fondly imagiiy- await them when they set ��� foot in 'the magic city, they hear so niuch about. "The farm and "the farming industry is .Wie^backbone'financially of our 'nation," ^said the Minister , recently, "and we'will be in a bad way indeed, if the time comes when the tilling oC the soil is regarded as menial or excessively laborious. .Thmkeis, in tlie Uniipd States express the conviction that the influx of women into the professions and even the'clerical trades formerly .mono- polized'almost entirely" by men, Is, now having the .effect of drivlingj the men, young and old, baekpto the,farm" to''obtain a livelihood. "I cannot say that we notice this effect < in Canada yet, and it .-will', be some-time before -we 'do, as-we are a young country _ compared with the United States. 'But all our'towns'tell the same story.' The young people'are' flocking to'the cities. ' Thoy are dazzled with what, they' believe is 'there, and they find when they do go that the realization is not the same as the anticipation. The best influences are lacking in the city. The city- is not the ���place to foster and ��� develope the ideal home life, even in Canadian cities. -The country affords the most^nalural scope for that. I gather ..that, the aim of the ���majority of our young women, whether they live In the city or country, is to- -w'ards matrimony, and the training afforded by the city environment ig-not the best training for a"wi��e and mother,���not as good and helpful at-ariy rate as that found in the country. The press 'of* this co'untry should wield its great influence 'in' an educative capacity, towards keeping the-couhtry ideal strong and vigorous,-and'to remove'from the "minds of'the young',-the thought1 that' they may be wasting-'time,by staying on their fathers' farjns. "Farming is' not what it was. Of old it was all work and no play, and" very little financial gain as a reward. Nowadays it is different. .''The modern farmer exercises a much keener business instinct in ^runnirig his farm. Labor-saving machinery takes away the manual' toil 'fornierly an unavoidable adjunct of his work. Prices are better, 'and-he handles a' great deal more money than his grandfather was able to do. ,In fact it takes a good business man to be a farmer with success nowadays. "I | would like to see our boys and girls content to 'stay in the country. The outlook for farming is good now, and better in the future. If a wholesale exodus from our farms takes place, __ it will mean cither serious trouble" for us .as-a nation, or the invention of labor-saving machinery to entirely take the place of thc former workers, who have adopted some other calling." "After some time the conversation fell ' upon. dogs. He remarked that I had a pretty fair setter. ' He, immediately asked me whether It .could catch birds. I f.aid no, because I shot all I could sea and dra-,y a bead on. He immediately < , said1'his little yaller dog was better than mine. I told him to prove It,^and he led the dog and myself out into tho bush. ' ., , "Within a few moments after com-1 mencing the hunt, the 'dog' treed a partridge,'.' continued the tourist.. "He waited for us to come up nearly under the'tree; ilien he'commenced his antics. Starling some distance away from the tree', he made a rush at it, and then began .to^run around an eight-shaped figure as fast aA he 'could go. With , his'eyes on the, ground and his tongue hanging out, the cur seemed suddenly,, to have gone mad. -' , VTho bird, perched on a limb above ,,, him, cocked a supercilious eye on him as if to say, 'What is that .little beast , doing, anyway?' However, the ��, bird 'kept a sharp watch on the ' yaller streak flying around on the ground. If Cloisely watched, ltSiOye was seen to follow the'rrtovements, of the dog very idosely.' The'bird became more'interested, and'its head began to sway, .keeping' time with the motion of the animal on the ground. The���motion of its head became more,pronounced, aud. , suddenly it overbalanced and .fell tc the ground with a flutter'of wings.'Be�� fore it could recover from its dizziness the dog had it In-his mouth. ' - ���_ "Now, this may seem like a , fairy tale," ''concluded the tourist, "but' I've got the proof of another reliable witness in Toronto, who will hold me out, and if you don't believe either "of us, see the caretaker of one of the islands in Lake Joseph, Muskoka." * ' '.Brother Smiff"and the 'Phone Girl.
