Mr\nSharpe, the manager of thc Station,\nis ;in intelligent, piactical man of large\nexperience, full of enthusiasm in his\nwork, without which then* is little\nchance of succc-s.

Tlie fences along the\nfront are barbed wire, on neat squared\nposts painted, wire well stretched and\ntaut. They have a clean, neat appearance, throwing into shade tlie board, or\nrail fence. On entering the gate from the\nrailway, you enter the orchard of 50 acres,\nwhere all kinds of fruit are grown, not for\ntheir Ireit, but to test the different kinds\nas to suitability for this Province. Making a tour of the orchard with Mr. Sharpe\nto explain lhe modes of culture of the different trees is quite interesting. Right\nhere lei me thank him for tlie (rouble he\ntook. A carefully prepared map showing\nevery tree with such notes regarding it,\nas may be found peculiar to the kind.\nThen come flowers and ornamental\nshrubs in profusion. l*he variety is so\ngreat, the colors so gorgeous, .ind the\nfragrance so tigreeable it may be called a\nveritable Eder.

PRACTICAL FARMING.\nFarmer's Wife and the Bees.\nToo little attention is given to bees and\nthe honey necessary to supply a demand\nwinch would quickly respond to a better\ndistribution of the bees and a larger yield\nor the honey crop. A little Btudy cf tho\nsubject, would enable the farmers' wives\nand daughters to have a few stands of bees\nwith proiitablH results from comparatively\nlittio intelligent labor. A littio practical\nknowledge of the habits of the bee goes\nfurther than a good dual of time spout in a\nhaphazard way, Havo a few stands of bees\nwith tlio investment of the poultry yard\nand the profits with the pleasure combined\nwith theae pursuits will prove gratifying\nto any one who loves nature aud her industrious little pets. The new conditions of\nsociety and all tho industrial pursuits, have\nwrought such radical changes in methods\nof living und earning our daily hreal that\nthose engagotl in the agricultural pursuits\nmust nucssdrily diversify thoir crops as far\nis possi bio to meat tho demands of domestic\nrequirements. When tho butcher, the\nbiker, and all othor merchants aro settled\nwithal tlio end of the year, the raw material\nof tho farm scarcely ba'ancus accounts theso\ntimes.\nA Chat on Sprlngr Butter.\nNow that the cows aro coming in frosh\nagain thore ought to bo butter producei\ntlio farms that would rival tho Juno article\nin quality.\nIn Juno naturo does much for tho dairy*\nman iu shaping the quality of the buttor,\nhut yot man's skill has so much to do with\nIt that poorly.niado Juno butter is not\nworth qualitatively or commercially as\nmuch as woll manufactured iMarch butter.\nNow, to place spring buttor on a par\nvith the Bummer article, it takea something moro besides tho imparting of a\nmmmer color. Tho milk fat must primarily he of good quality ; it Bhould\nspring from the physical laboratory of a\nwell-uurturad cow. It Bhould be romom-\nhored that thero are difforont grades of\nquality in cream aa woll as in flesh or\neggs. Really goo,-butter cannot be mado\nfrom the milk yielded by \"spring poor\"\ncows.\nWhen the cows are being fed on too\nstrict a diet of nitrogonous food, un hay.the\nbutter fat in their milk is limited in quantity. It has boon tho writer's experience\nthat milk yielded in the spring by a fresh,\nrobust, healthy cow, gave cream that was\nmarkedly suporior in quality to that where\nthe conditions were tlio reverse. I moan\nthat there was not only more of this cream\nbut it gave a better quality of butter when\nchurned; butter that was firmer of grain\nand moro aromatic in flavor than from poor\nly-nourished cowa.\nWhile such buttor prodmed in spring\nwill not possess the natural golden hue imparted by grass, the artistic use of a high-\ngrade commercial color will make up this\nlack. I say -'artistic use,\" fora suoeesafu 1\nbutter maker must hava on artist's eye in\ngiving his product a natural color by artificial means.\nAll the good work thathaB beon done in\ntho stable, the dairy mom and tho churn,\nmay be Badly bslittlod and damaged by unnatural coloring of the butter. Aa thero is\nmoro frco milk in some samples of cream\nthan others, and as butter colors vary in\nstrength, it is always best to color a small\ntrial batch of butter before using it on a\nfull churning.\nAH domestio bnttormakera do not appreciate how important to thoir succors thia\nBub-eot of color in butter iB. I have\nsoen butter faultless in evory other reapoct,\nand of high grade, refuaed by a paying customer because itws.aover-colored, Learnby\nrepaatod trials au-1 close application to min'\nute detaiU to be artistic in this Hne.for you\nmust pleaso tho oyo to please tho palate.\nGivo spring butter a better chance by a\nfood tonio to the cow, a delicate artificial\nhue 'o the cream, and a akilful turn of tho\nwriat to tho ladle, and see how easy it ia\nto improve ita quality.\nAbout Berries.\nPor growing berries of all kinds select\nwell drained soil on which somo hard crop\nwaa produced last season, potato ground\nbeing beat.\nSod ground may bo used by plowing vory\nshallow\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdtwo inches, if possible. Cut fine\nwith dis**- or apading harrow, thon plow\ndeeply, turning sod entirely under.\nCover heavily with well-rotted manure\nand harrow until well mixed with fine and\nmellow soil.\nExtra work in preparing tho soil, adds\nmuch to growth ofplunta, size and quality\nof fruit. You cannot grow lino berries with\npoor cultivation.\nLong, atraight rows aro easily oultivated\nand kept free from weeds.\nSoil and location have a marked influence on variety and quality.\nTherefore select well tea ted kinds, suoh\naB do well in your vicinity,\nLeavo high-priced novePjlea to tho pro-\nfesuional grower. Thoy ore generally disappointing. Nevor buy poor plants. The\nbest are cheapest.\nThe Bpice allowed for different plants\nshould bo determined by tho varioties\ngrown, tho quality of soil and tho method\nor trimming and training.\nTlio following distances giro boat results\nIn most cases :\nStrawberries sot in rows threo and ono\nhall foot apart ami about two foot in the\nrow.\nHlackborrios and raspberries, in rows\nsoven foot apart, aud threo feet io the\nrow.\nCurrants and gooHohot-rios, in rowa fivo\nto Hovon feot apart and throe to fivo foot in\nllie row.\nObserve how the flouk will nestle on a\nwcll-littared floor in winter. A hint to\nthe wise.\nLong wattled birds should have wattr\nsupplied in automatic fountains that have\nsmall drinking cupa.\nWarm measoa for feeding in the morning\nshould be mixed the previous evening and\nkept warm through the night.\nThere should be ladders from the perches to the floor where thero are heavy fowla.\nThe best form of Udder ia a board with\ncleats nailed across.\nFowla need air, but not the kind that\ncomes in a draft or a biting wind. Wind\nisnext to water in the amount of discomfort\nand disease it causes.\nThe custom of tho most successful turkey\nraisers ii to breed only well matured stock.\nWhen the breeds have proved themselves\nreliable they are kept for several years and\ntheyoungBtock sold.\nWhilo fowls may live and, apparently]\nthrive on an exclusive corn diet through\nthe winter, it is not the best diet to bting\nthe flock out in good ordor for the next\napring's businesa. They need vegetables\nand meatalso, Tho best is the cheapest in\ntho long run.\nIt would bo just as rational to put potatoes into tho hopper and thon sot the barrel, expecting choice flmir.m to look in the\nnest for eggs when feeding only of corn and\nlike concentrated foods. Fcoi the grain.\nroots and grasses rich in egg material, and\nkoep tho fata for fat-building.\nNine-tenths of all the diseases whioh in\nfest the poultry yard are due to ncgloot and\nthe othor tenth to carolesanes-t. A natural\ncondition ia one of health, and ouly when\nmini imposes unnatural oonditiona doea there\nfollow diaease, Somo of these conditions\nmay bo enumerated as follows: Overfeed*\ning, impure water in foul dishes, bad air,\ncaused by accumulations under the rooata,\ndraughts of air caused by poor ventilation,\nopen cracks or broken windows, vermin,and\nnoglect in cleaning the houses and yards\nwhero the fowla aro kept.\nThero is ono source of revenue from poultry keeping that iB too often neglected. It\nmay be becauao it ia not generally known\nthat all kind of feather are salable. The\ndemand is increasing every year, and moat\ncountry merchants will take them and aell\nthem upon commission. The fowls muat\nbe dry picked, and the leathers olean and\nin good condition. The tail and quill\nfeathers should be packed separately from\nthose which are softer. Separate the several kinds, and also separate thoao from\ndifferent kinds of poultry. Tho prooeeda\nfrom the feathers should repay the cost of\npicking and all the labor of preparing the\nfowls for market.\nThe secret of having e-jga in winter is to\nhave the pullets hatched early so as to be\nfully grown and feathered before winter.\nThen with warm quarters and a mixed\ndiet, you may reasonably expect good results in egga. Hens after a year old make\ngood mothers and setters, but not often\nvery good layers. Keep young blood predominating in your flock if you expect to\nproduce eggB at a profit.\nTHE AUSTRAMM-TrABBIT PLAGUE\nEfforts Thnt Bave Been Hade to Abate thr\nTerrible .-nuisance.\nIn the couraB of a recent discourse upon\nthe rabbit plague of Australia the lecturer\nstated that it was at the period of the high-\neat prosperity of that county that a patriotic land owner thought it wonld bo a good\nthing to import a few rabbits into tho colony,\nas they would serve for food and for sport.\nHe accordingly imported three pairs of\nrabbits and they were turned loose. It was\nnot long before it waa found that the district\nin question had been tranformed into a\ngigantic rabbit warren. It was estimated\nthat a ainf-le pair of rabbits, under favorable circumstances, would in threo years\nhave a progeny numbering 13,718,000. The\ninhabitanta of the colony soon found that\nthe rabbits were a plague, for they devoured the grass, which was needed for the\nsheep, the bark of trees, and every kind of\nfruit and vegetables, until the prospects of\nthe colony became a vory serious matter\nand ruin seemed inevitable.

Who has not experienced a feeling of revolt ou seeing a\ncrust of rapidly caking fat form on the\nspoon which ia lifted from the gravy, or\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\natill more unendurable\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdlittle globules of\nUrease on tho surface of the invalid's oup of\noef tea?\nVet, to clear away every trace of the\ndisturbing element is a task tar from oasy,\nas every one who bas honestly tried will\nhave found. The smaller the quantity to\nbe dealt with, the greater the dilliculty.\nMany cooks argue that if aoup is allowed\nto get oold and the fat of it removed when\nsolid there oannot possibly be any further\ncause for fear. This is a great mistake; as\nsoon aa that soup is allowed to boil again it\nwill throw up more fat, perhapa quite aa\nmuch as before.\nStock whioh has been made from the\nliquor in whioh ham or bacon has been\nboiled, or from meat which has much\n?;nstle about it, like calves' feet, will be\nound to throw up fat as long as it is on the\nfire. Tbe only way to get rid of this is to\nskim patiently aad thoroughly, keeping the\nliquor simmering, until ready to pour into\ntht- tureen, then to take a piece of olean\nblotting paper, and, holding it edgewise, to\ncarefully absorb all remaining particlea off\nthe surface.\nSoup which hai been thickened with\nbutter roPed in flour presents the same\ntroublesome features, and can only be dealt\nwith in the same manner. For clearing\naway ail grease from small quantities of\ngravy or beef tea, where by skimming one\nis apt to risk losing part of the liquor,there\nis nothing better than olean white blotting\npaper.\nSome cooks boast of having what they\ncall a knack of blowing grease off the stook.\nThe method may be ingenious, but it is far\nfrom cleanly, and moat people will agree\nthat it is very objectionable-\nThe first scum which rises to the surface\nof boiling broth or vegetables contains all\nthe objectionable particles whioh all onr\noare In previous oleaninge could not have\ndiscovered. If this is not removed it is\nspeodily drawn in again,and no after efforts\nwill suffice to clear the liquor. ,.,.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd,\nMethods of Amusing Babies. 2\nWhen my-aix-moiiths'-old girl begins to\nfret, and I have no tlmo to atop my work\nand tako her up, I roll her cab up to tho\ntable, take the bird cage from its hook, and\nset it upon the table before the little miss.\nThis always proves a pleasure to bird and\nbaby and gives me often an hour or moro\nto work or rest.

My\nterm was twenty years, but I did so welt\nthat my credits piled up, and after I had\nbeen here ten years I oould begin to see my\nway out. There were only about three\nyeara left. And, air, I worked faithfully\nto make those yeara good. I knew that if\nI did anything against the rules I should\nloss my credits and have to stay nearly ten\nyears longer. I knew all about that, sir;\nI never forgot it. 1 wanted to be a free\nslightly to lend emphasis to his narrative,\nwaa the only thing th\\t modified the rigid\nimmobility of his figure. Without a. single\nchange in the pitch or modulation of his\nvoice, never burryiug, but speaking with\nthe alow and dteary monotony with which\nhe had begun, he nevertheless\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdpartly by\nreason of these evidences of hia incredible\nself-control\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdmade a formidable picture aa\nhe proceeded :\n\" When I told him that, sir, he said,\nhe'd take me to the Udder and see if he\noouldn't make me change my mind. , .\n. Yes, sir; he said he'd take me to the\nladder.\" (Here there waa a long pause.\n\" And I a human being, with flesh on my\nhones and the heart of a man in my body.\nThe other warden hadn't tried to break my\nspirit on the ladder. I didn't believe the\nwarden when he said he would take me to\nman again, and I planned to go away some-' the ladder, I oouldn't imagine myself alive\nwhere and make the fight all over,\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdto be a and put through at the ladder, and I\nman in the world once more.\n\"We know all about your record-in the\nprison. Proceed.\"\n\"Well, it waa thia way. \\ou know they\nwere doing aome heavy work in the quarries\nand on the grades, and they wanted the\nstrongest men in tho prison. There weren't\nvery many: therenevor are very many strong\nmen in apriaon. And I waaonaof'om that\nthey put on the heavy work, and\nI did it faithfully. They used to\npay the men for extra work, not\npay 'em money, but the value of the money\nin candles, tobacco, extra clothes, and\nthing-! like that I loved to work, and I\nloved to work oxtra, and ao did some of\nthe other men. On Saturdays the men who\nhad done extra work would fall in and so\nftp to the captain of the guard,and he would\ngive to eaoh man what was cominp to him.\n}le had it all down in a book, and when a\ntnan would come up and -jail for what was\nflue him the captain would give it to him,\nwhatever he wanted that the rules allowed.\n\"Ono Saturday I fell in with the others.\n(A good many were ahead of me in the line,\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdnd when they got what they wanted they\nell into a new line, waiting to bs marched\n9 the cells. When my turn in thu line\nframe I went up to the captain and said I\nWould take mine in tobacco. He looked at\nine .-rutty sharply, and said: 'How did you\n(jet back in that line?1 I told him I belong-\nI'd there,\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthat I had come to get my extra.\nHe looked at hia book,and he aaid, 'You've\nhad your extra; you got tobacco.' And he\ntold me to fall into the new line. I told\nhim I hadn't received any tobacao ; I said\nI hadn't got my extra, and hadn't been up\nbefore. He said, 'Don't spoil your record\nby trying to steal a little tobacco. Fall in.'\n. . . It hurt me, air. I hadn't been\nup i I hadn't got my extra ; and I wasn't a\nthief, and I nover had been a thief, and no\nliving man had a right to call mo a thief.\nI Baid to him, straight, 'I won't fall in till\nI get my oxtra,and I'm not a thief, and no\nman can call me one, and no man can rob\nme of my just dues,' He turned pale, and\nsaid, 'Fall in, there.' I said, 'I won't fall\nin till I get my dues,'\nWith that he raised his hand aB a Big-\nna and the two guards behind him covered\npie with their rifles, and a guard on the\nwest wall, and one on tho north wall, and\none on the portico in front of the arsenal,\nall covered me with rifles. The captain\nturned to a trusty and told him to call the\nwarden, The warden came out, and the\noaptain told him I was trying to run double\nin my extra, and said I was impudent and\nInsubordinate and refused to fall in. The\nwarden said, ' Drop that and fall in.' I\nold him I wouldn't fall in. I said I hadn't\nrun double, that I hadn't got my extra, and\nthat I would stay there till 1 died beforo I\nwould be robbed of It. He asked the captain if there wasn't aomo mistake, and the\nOaptain looked at his book and said there\nwas no mistake; he said he remembered me\nwhen I came up and got the tobacco and he\nsaw me tall into the new line, but he didn't\nsee me get back in tho old line. The warden didn't ask the other men if they saw\nme get my tobbaco and slip back into the\nold Tine. He just ordered me to fall in. I\ntold him I would die before I would do\nthat. 1 said I wanted my juat dues and\nno more, and I asked him to call on the\nother men iu line to prove that I hadn't\nbeen up.\n\"Hesaid,'That's enough of this.' He\nsent all the other men to the cells, and left\nme standing there. Then he told two\nguards to take me to the cells. They oame\nand took hold of me, and I threw them off\nas if they wore babies. Then more guards\noame up, and one of them hit me over the\nhead with a club, and I foil. And then,\nair,\"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdhere tho convict's voice fell to a\nwhisper,\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd-'and then he told them to take\nme to the dungeon.\"\nThe aharp, steady glitter of the convict's\neyea failed,and he hung his head and looked\ndespairingly at the floor.\n\"Uo on,' said the chairman,\nlhey took me to the dungeon, air.

Tlie ends of the lingers were uncommonly thick ; they wero red an I swol.\nIon aud the knuckles wore curiously mark*\nod with deep whito scars.\n. \"Well, air, there wasn't anything at all\n.

I\nwent with him and the guards. Ho brought\nme to the ladder. I had never seen it before. It was a heavy wooden ladder,\nleaned against the wall, and tho bottom\nwaa boltod to the floor and the top to the\nwall, A whip waa on the floor.\" (Again\nthere waa a pause.) \"The warden told me\nto strip, air. and I stripped. . .

They strapped my arms to the\nladder, and stretched ao hard that they\npulled me up clear of the floor. Then they\nstrapped my legs to the ladder. The warden then picked up tho whip. He said to\nme,' I'll give you one more chance: will\nyou go to work to-morrow V I said, ' No ;\n1 won't go to work till I get my dues.\n'Very well,' satd he, 'you'll get your dues\nnow.' And then he stepped baok and raised\nthe whip. I turned my head and looked at\nhim, and I could aoe it in his eyes that he\nmeant to strike. . . . And when I saw\nthat, air, I felt that something inside of me\nwas about to burst.\"\nTho convict paused to gather up his\nstrength for the crisis of his story, yet not\nin the least particular did ho change his\nJioaition, the alight movement of hia point*\nng finger, the steady gleam of his eye, or\nthe slow monotony of his speech. 1 had\nnever witnessed any scene ao dramatic as\nthis, and yet all was absolutely simple and\nunintentional, I had been thrilled by the\ngreatest actors, as with matohless skill tbey\ngave rein to their genius in tragic situations ; but how inconceivably tawdry and\ncheap suoh pictures seemed in comparison\nwith this 1 The claptrap of the music, the\nlights, the poBine*, the wry faces, the gasps,\nlunges, staggerings, rolling eyes,\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdhow\nflimsy and colorleaB, how mocking and grotesque, tbey all appeared beside this simple,\nuncouth, but genuine expression of immeaa\nurablea~ony I\nThe stenographer held his pencil poised\nabove the paper, and wrote no more.\n\"And then tho whip came down across\nmy back. The something inside of me\ntwisted hard and then broke wide open, and\nwent pouring all through me like melted,\niron. It waa a hard fight to keep my head\ndear, but I did it. And then I Baid to the\nwarden this: 'You've struck me with a whip\nin cold blood. You've tied me up hand and\nfoot, to whip me like a dog. Well, whip\nme, then, till you fill your belly with it.\nYou are a coward. You are lower, and\nmeaner, and cowardlier than the lowest\nand meanest don that ever yelped when his\nmuter kicked him.

See how good a coward feels when\nho ties up a man and whips him like a dog,'\nWhip me till the last breath quits my body;\nif you leave me alive I will kill you for\nthis.'\n\"His face got white. He asked me if I\nmeant that, and I aaid, ' Yes; before Qod,\nI do. Then he took the whip in both hands\nand came down with all his might,\"\n\"That was nearly two years ago,\" aaid\nthe chairman. \"You would not kill him\nnow, would you?'\n\"Yes. I will kill him if I get a chance\nand I feel it in me that tho chance will\ncome.\"\n\"Well,,\n\"lie kept on whipping me. He whipped\nme with all the strength of both hands. I\ncould feel the broken skin curl up on my\nback, and when my head got too heavy to\nhold it straight it hung down, and I saw\nthe blood on my lego and dripping off my\ntoes into a pool of it on the floor. Something\nwai straining and twisting inside of me\nagain. My back didn't hurt much; it was\nthe thing twisting inside of me that hurt,\nI counted the lashes, and when I counted\nto twenty-eight tho twisting got bo hard\nthat it choked me and blinded me; . . .\nand when I woke up I waa in tho dungeon\nagain, and the dootor had my back all\nplastered up, and he waa kneeling beside\nme, tooling my pulse,\"\nTho prisoner had finished.

There was no intention on the captain's part to rob you.\"\nThe convict gasped and leaned forward\neagerly.\n\"Until the receipt of thia letter,\" resumed the warden, \"I had opposed the movement which had been started for your pardon; but when thia letter came I recommended your pardon, and it haa been granted.\nBesides, you nave a serious heart trouble.\nSo you are now discharged from the prison.\"\nThe conviot stared, and leaned back\nspeechless. His eyes shone with a strange,\nglasBy expression, and hia white teeth\nglistened ominously between hia parted\nlips. Yet a oartain painful softness tern*\npered the iron in his face,\n\" The stage will leavo for the station In\nfonr hours, continued the warden. \"You\nhave made certain threats against my\nlife.\" The warden paused: then, in a voice\nthat slightly wavered from emotion, he\neoutinued: \"I shall not permit your intentions in that regard\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdfor I oare nothing\nabout them\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdto prevent me from diBcharg-\na duty which, as from oue man to another,\nI owe you, I have treated you with a\naruelty the enormity ot which I now oom-\nJireheud. I thought I was right. My\natal mistake was in not understanding\nyour nature. I misconstrued your conduct\nfrom the beginning, and in doing so I\nhave laid upon my conscience a burden\nwhioh will embitter the remaining years of\nmy life. I would do anything in my power,\nif it were not too late, to atono for the\nwrong I have done you. If, beforo\n1 sent you tothe dungeon, I could have\nunderstood the wrong and foreseen its consequences, I would cheerfully have taken\nmy own life rather than raised a hand\nagainst you. The lives of both of us have\nbeen wrecked, but your suffering is in the\npast,\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdmine is preaent, and will cease only\nwith my life. For my life is a ourse, and *\nprefer not to keep it.\"\nWith that the warden, t ery pale, but\nwith a^lear purpose in his face, took a\nloaded revolver from the drawer and laid it\nbefore the conviot.\n\"Now is your chance,\" he aaid, quietly:\n\"no one oan hinder you.\"\nThe oonvict gasped and shrank away from\nthe weapon as from a viper.\n\" Not yet,\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdnot yet,\" he whispered in\n;ony.\nThe two men aat and regarded each\nother without tha movement of a muscle,\nAre you afraid to do it?\" asked the\nwarden.\nAmomentary light flashed in the convict's\noyea.\nNol\" he gasped; \"you know I am\nnot. But I can't\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdnot yet,\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdnot yet.\"\nThe convict, whose ghastly pallor, glassy\neyes, and gleaming teeth sat like a maik of\ndeath upon hia face, staggered to hia feet.\n\"You have done it at last 1 you have\nbroken my spirit. A human word has done\nwhat the dungeon and the whip could not\ndo. . . .

I'm only\na baby, after all\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand I thought I was a\nman.\"\nHe reeled, and the warden caught him\nid seated him in a chair. He took tho\nconvict's hand in hia and felt a firm, true\npressure there. The convict's eyes rolled\nvacantly. A spasm of pain caused him to\nraise his free hand to his chest; his thin,\ngnarled fingers\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdmado ahapelesa by long\nuse in the slit of the dungeon door\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdclutched automatically at his shirt. A faint, hard\nsmile wrinkled his wan face, displaying the\ngleaming teeth more freely.\n\"That human word,\" he whispered,\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\"if\nyou had spoken it long ago,\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdif\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdbut it'a\nall\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdit's all right\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdnow, 1*11 go\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdI'll go to\nwor k\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdto-morrow.''\nThere waa a slightly firmer pressure of\nthe hand that held the warden's; then it\nrelaxed. The fingers which clutched the\nshirt alipped away, and the hand dropped\nto his side. The weary head aank back\nand rested on the chair; the atrango, hard\nsmile still sat upon the marble face, and a\ndead man's glassy eyes and gleamiug teeth\nwere upturned toward the ceiling.\n(THE END.)\nFruit fop the Farm.\nVine, fresh fruit, and plenty of it\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdin\nvariety aa well as quality\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdIs what \"every\nfarmer ought to have.

It is\nreported that fully 2,500,000 of thom have\nbeen kilM & the past dozen years.\nriUMCESS MAl'D,\nrogard to a matrimonial alliance between\nLord Roaebery and Princess Maud of Wales\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdreports which are probably due to the\nimaginative mind of aomo enterprising\nLondon correspondent of an English provincial paper in search of copy. These\nrumors are so frequently and so recurrent\nthat it may possibly be of interest to point\nout once and for all to the readers\nof the Tribune why a marriage between\nthe Earl and a British princess of the blood\nis not only improbable, but also impossible\nand entirely out of the question. Lord\nRosebery haa been announced as engaged\nto tbe widow of the late prince Leopold,\nDuke of Albany t to the daughter of\nPrince Christian of Sehleawig.Holatein, ot\nPrincess Victoria of Wales aud, in fact, to\nevery unmarried princess of the reigning\nfamily of England. Tor what reason It is\ndifficult to imagine, aince even were there\nnot certain insuperable obatao les, Lord\nRosebery would be about the laat noble-\nman in Great Britain to perpetrate so gross\na blunder, it being nothing else when an\nEnglish peer manies a princess of tho\nblood. An alliance of that kind would\ninvolve his political extinction, destroy\nthe great popularity he now p',,<.u\ufffd\ufffdte\nalike with the classes snd tho masses\nwould render him an object of suspicion and of\njealousy to the aristocracy, and expose him\nto the resentment of most of his wife's\nroyal relatives, who would Look upon him\nas an intruder, and be forever in a stato of\napprehension lest he should presume on the\nstrength of bis marriage, to forget the deference due by him aa a mere nobleman to\nroyalty, cr to uaurp privileges and prerogatives that belong by right of birth to\nhis wife, but oould never be hia.\nUntil the date of his marriage with\nPrincess Louise of Wales, Lord Fife was\nprobably one of the most popular and universally liked peers of the realm, a favorite\nalike with tbe aristocracy, with the reigning family, and with tho people. Having\nwealth, prestige and much cleverness, ho\nhad a brilliant career before him as a statesman, AU hla prospects, however, were\nmarred by his marriage, and although he\nhas become a duke, his political career is at\nan end, and he iB to-day one of the moat\nunpopular men in the kingdom. Another\ninstance Ib that of the Marquis of Lome,\nwho haa to contend not alone with the ill-\nwill of the people, but also with the moat\nincredible snubs and Blights to which he has\nbeen subjected by his wife's brothers and\nother relatives. There is a well authenticated story of one of the princes having\naent hia equerry to request him to leave tho\nroyal tent at a garden party that its access was restricted exclusively to royalty.\nPoor Lord Lorno had fondly imagined\nthat he could follow his wife into it,\nbut found out his mistake just in the\nsame way aB when, a little later at the\nCourt of Berlin, he waa prevented by\nthe chamberlains on duty from accompanying his wife into tho salon ro-\nserved for the princess and princesses\nof thc blood at a court ball, and was\nforced to cool hia heels in the outer hall\nalong with the roat of the nobility, Lord\nLome's tainenesB in submitting to all thia\nhas earned for him a good deal of contempt,\nwhich is perhaps even moro difficult to\nbear than the downright unpopularity of\nthe Duke of Fife.\nLord Rosebery is indoed too shrewd and\ntoo ambitious a man ever to expose himself\nto suoh treatment, or to risk tho certain\nloss of all his immense social prestigo, hia\npolitical influence and his great popularity.\nHis retention of the Premiership or oven\nhis possession of a minor portfolio in tho\nCabinet would be out of tho question wore\nhe to become tho husband of a British Prin*\ncesB.and he wouldbe relegated into obscurity\nas far as the history of his country ia concerned. The Royal family of (ire;-.*,. Britain\nis dobarrcd by tho unwritten laws of the\nconstitution from taking anypart in partisan\npolitics. Strict impartiality with regard to\nthe great political parties is expected from\nall member-* thereof, and it 18 manifest,\nunder thc oirciunstancua, that it would be\nout of the question for u Hou-ln\ufffd\ufffdIaw of tha\nsovereign or even of the Heir Apparent to\nbold Cabinet othco as tho member of a\nLiberal or of a Tory Administration, A\nroyal marriage, thereforo, would inevitably\nresult In the termination of tho political\noaroer of Lord l.i**-olicry, than whom thuro\nin no man In the Kingdom mora coldly am-\nbltlouB and more bent ou malt lug a great\nnamo for himself iu tho history of tho\nworld,\nThon, too, thoru is nnothor obuiaole\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nLord Hoscbory has four children by his\nfirst wife, who was Miss Hannah Hatha,\nchild. What would be tho position of a\nroyal Countess of I'osebcry toward these\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdhlldron? And wero alio to give birth to\nlildri'ii the tatter, although logitiinate\ngrandchildren of tho sovereign, would inevitably bo obliged to take up an inferior\npoeitiun, both as regards rank and wealth,\ntn that of tho progouy of their father's\nHebrew wife. Thus the existence of theao\nfour children alono is sulliciont lo constitute an insurmountable obstacle to a marriage with cither of thc daughters of thc\nPrince of Wales. Were Lord Rosebery to\nmarry the widowed Duchess of Albany,\nmatters would become atill more compli-\ncatcd, as the Duchess has already two\nchildron, ono of whom is tho present Duke\nof Albany, who lanlta aa Prince of the\nBiood. It Js difficult to aee how he firm Id\nbo brought up on a footing of equality\nwith Lord Kosebory'a children by hia first\nwifo, or what position the issue nt a union\nbetween the Karl and the Duchess would\noccupy with regard to thoir half brothers\nand sisters, both royal and Jewish.\nOno word moro concerning Lord Rose*\nbery, who haa been betrothed by public\nreport to more women on both sides of\n-.lin Atlantic than any othor modern\nnobleman in Christendom. Hu la poi-\naesspii. as Prime Minister, of a power\nand prustigo enjoyed by none of hia predecessors In ollice. lor he is known\nlo have at his back the practically inexhaustible resources of the great banking house of Kolhachild, which controls\nthfi finances of poarly oyery qatiun uf\ntho Old World to such an extent as to\nrendor the maintenance of tho pcaco of\nEurope far more dependent upon its\nwill than upon that of many a groat\nmonarch. Lord Rosebery is thoroughly\nidentified with the dynaBty of Rothschild, ao muoh so that ho may be con\nsidered in the light of one of ita most\nimportant membets. When his wife,\nthe sole heiress of Baron Meyer Rothschild died, she bequeathed to him her\nvast fortune, but it remains in the hands\nof the Rothschild firm, and hence Lord\nRosebery may justly be considered as forming part aud parcel of this great house of\nbusiness. Having his thumb on the purse-\nstrings not only of the great British Empire,\nbut alao, through the House of Rothschild\non those of nearly every Government of\nEurope, and practically controlling the\nfinancial markets of the world, he will\nwield, as long as he can manaue to maintain\nhia parliamentary majority, a power which,\nif properly taken advantage of, ia destined\nto prove greater than that of any statesman\nor Minister in Europe Lord Rosebery has\nabsolutely unique and unprecedented opportunities of achfeving a grand name in the\nhistory of Great Britain and of the world,\nand he ia not likely to sacrifice them by ao\ngross a blunder aa a marriage with a royal\nprincoaa.\nTHE LYNX.\ntie fa a liangfiroua and Troublesome Animal lu Norway.\nThe lynx la a very troubleaome animal in\nNorway, and the folda of the farmera aro\nnover safe from its depredations. All day\nlong the lynx lies tn some cool covert, and\nas the night cornea on or in the gray of the\nmorning, he descends upon tbe sheep,\nsatisfying the cravings of a bloodthirsty\nnature by killing all that oome in hiB way.\nIt Ib not *\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd n uncommon occurrence for af arm*\ner to lose ten or twelve sheep in one night.\nDuring the Winter the lynx Kills foxea and\nhares, and those birds whioh ho can surprise in numbers ; and what seems incredible, sometimes attacks elk. Lynxes vary\niu size, the largest ones being but a trifle\nsmaller than a wolf, while others aro as\namall as a domestic cat. At times they aro\nvery ferooioua, and often attack dogs without the alightest provocation.\nThe lynx, being proverbial for acuteneas\nof Bight, often outwits his huntera; but\nafter discovering the tracks of a lynx, the\nusual way of following him is thia ; A man\nfollows the tracka in the snow until ho has\nreason to believe that tho lynx iB not far\ndistant. Then starting either to the right\nor left, aa the nature of the ground permits,\nhe describes a large circle. Should be not\nagain fall in with the track, he is of course\naware that the lynx is within the circle.\nIf, on the contrary, he again cuts the track\nin his detour, he makes a fresh circuit from\nthat point, and so on, until he succeeds in\ndrawing a ring around the beast. Ho may\nthen proceed to made his circle by small\ndegrees,providing alwaya there be no cause\n-to think the animal is on the alert ;in which\ncase to do ao is perilous work. In this way\nthe lynx is sure to be found sooner or later.\nThe question of running the lynx down\non snow shoea has often been discussed.\nA young Norwegian, who had gained quito\na reputation for killing bears and elk, waa\nonoe persuaded to attempt it, He started\nont on a brilliant moonlight night, and kept\non for three days and nights, resting on\ntwo of the nights only, and then in disgust\ngave it up, aa the lynx persisted in keeping\nto the thickest brakes and hardly ever\ncrossed a bit of open to give the pursuer\na chance of a apurt.\nThe only sure way to bag a lynx iB to\nhunt him with dogs express!-, broken for\nthe purpose; but for visitors this is an extremely difficult matter, as dogs that will\nface a lynx are not easily obtained. The\n\"belghund\" used in Scandinavia for elk\nand bear hunting (usually an Esquimaux or\nmongrel of that breed), would eagetly follow\nthe lynx and bring him to bay; but a well-\nbroken dog of this species is so valuable\nthat its owner would be unwilling to slip\nhim upon an animal that wonld certainly\nmaim nim for life, if notkiil him altogether.\nDogs of this sort aell anywhere from 8100\nto \ufffd\ufffd300, according to their sporting merits.\nOne can aeldom be certain of shooting a\nlynx when beaters try to drive him toward\nyou, stationed on one aide of the ring, with\nother ahooters in a line. Ha oan easily\nhide htmseli frum the beaters in trees,rocks\netc., and alao seems to possess a certain degree of the cunning of the fox. When the\nfords are frozen the lypx sometimes makes\nexpeditions to the islands in the vicinity of\nhia abiding place.\nAs a rule, it ia only young lynxes that\ntake to a tree when hunted or alarmed,\nbut exceptions occur. The lendsmand of\nSkjaerdalon, a kind of chief constable,\nwaiting at his post fora hare which he knew\nto bo afoot by tho baying of the dogs, was\namazed to aeo a large gray animal, very unlike a hare, oome bounding out of the brake\nand ruah up a tree near him. He fired\nboth barrels of his gun with no apparent\neffect, and speedily loading again called out\nto the man on the next post to come quickly as there was a bear in the tree. Ho then\nwent underneath the tree and fired a third\ntime, when tbe animal crashed through tho\nbranches to the ground, dead. It proved\nto bo a very largo lynx, quite two feet In\nheight.\nThe color ot tho lynx is generally ofa\ndark reddish gray, spotted with reddiah\nbrown, but when the buow falls ho turns a\nlight gray or cream color, and tho spots ure\nnot to be distinguished.\nButterfly Thermometer.\nThis iaa handsome ornament for any room\nand one that it is not difficult to mako.\nCut the body from cardboard, with two\nseta ot wings of any desired size ; the\nlarger, tho plainer tho figures of tbo thermometer will stand out.\nCover tho baok wings with palo yollow\ncrepe paper, pasting it around theedges on\ntha wrong side, and drawing it iuto shape\nby small stitches at thu body part of tho\nfoundation, so that the crinkle-* will all run\nlongthwiau of tho wingB.\nCover tho front wing**, folding the edgo\nwhich laps over thu back wings bo they\nwill look distinct from thom \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd piste aro und\ntho edges on thc wrong aide, and gather\ntho paper into the body with stitches.\nRoll a piece of cotton for the head nnd\ntho upper part of tho body, and cover with\ntint crepe paper, tying it in tightly at thc\nhead with gold thread, and attaching a\nfine gold wire to the head for thc feolura.\nBorder tho edge of th-* wings with gold\npaint, and place large bluo watcruolor and\ngold spots on thc wings ai indicated, and\nshade thc wings from the body with sepia.\nTack a thermometer, such as cornea for\nfancy work, over the body, and Hue the\nwhole with plain tiasuo paper, either placing a dresa ring at the back to hang it by\nor attaching ribbon under each wing for\nthat purpoao.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd [Toronto Ladies' Journal,\nA Suspicious Colo r.\nMr. Way back\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\" Uokee here!
