Dorking, which if care has been taken in
the selection will show very little trace of
Cochin descent, whilst the size and constitu-
tional vigor of the birds will have been much
improved by the infusion of new blood. But
these birds must not be permitted to breed
amongst themselves else they, in all proba-
bility, will revert to the Cochin type; the pull
lets must again be mated with n Dorking
Cock
A cross between "a Cochin and Spanish is
not Il desirable one; the Spanish is Il long
legged bird, the Cochins are also inclined
that way, two characters which will never
fail to be produced in the offspring. The
chickens of such II cross are long-legged,
stilty things-neither handsome to look at
nor good for the table.
The offspring of Cochin hens running in
yard where Polands and Hamburghs are
kept are compact and short-legged, and are
non-incubating varieties. The cockerels
serve to supply the kitchen; but they are of
course useless as stock birds.
There is, it must be confessed one great
disadvantage attending the rearing of cross
bred fowl, they are quite useless for the pur-
poses of exhibition, and unsaleable rs stock
birds. This itself is really very serious
drawback, as after giving high price for
good fowls the breeder not unfrequently
looks forward to the sale of some of the chick
ems rs a remuneration for the outlay II,
however, the farmer can remunerate him
self by the sale of large spring chickens, it
will be equally satisfactory to him as if the
birds sold were of pure breed.-Canad,a

IRISH POPLIN.

Beyond doubt there are few materials so
thoroughly becoming to women ms Irish
poplin. 1t falls in soft massive folds and
has no disagreeable rustic; but rather that
soft frou-frou about which the French novel
list goes into raptures when he describes the
gracious movements of his heroine The
brilliant colors are rs varied and numerous
rs the tints on n painters pallet, and afford
a choice ofhues so extended that every COM
plexion may find It's most becoming color.
There are tender spring-like greens for the
tlorid cheek of the matron, turquoise blue
for the rose bloom of grlhood, delicious
French grays and pcarly shades of every
degree for the bride of mature years, or the
young brides mother, and sliding scale of
the rubies, amethysts, and maroons which
are just now so fashionable; while for those
who desire to exhibit their loyalty or nation
atty, there are tartans of every clan. OF the
economy of the fabric it is almost needless
to speak. 1t is alike on both sides, has none
of that cup and down" about which dress
makers complain when making up figured
silks, and will look bright to the last hour
of its wear. For the interests of the manu-
facturer, Irish poplins wear too well; they
out-last every other material used for ladies'
dresses, and are Il real boon to the economic
I-Belgraria.

GAIL HAMILTON LUXURIOUS AS TO
WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

DR.. Todd ought to forgive Gail Hamilton
good deal for sympathizing with him so full
ly, as she now does, on the effects of suffrage
on women. She draws this mournful pie
ture thereof in the Independent: When wo-
men are cursed with their granted prayer,
the hardest lot will fall to those whose lot is
hardest now. 1t is the working-woman for
whom all is asked; but it is the working-wo-
man on whom the sword will be turned.
She is the unfriended or the insufliciently be-
friended. Working women are chiefly those
whose male relatives are unable OF unwil-
ling to support them. 1.-THE loving and be-
loved wife," the "petted and caressed daugh-
ter" of the strong and successful man will
be scarcely conscious of any change. In
her well-guarded home, it matters little to
her whether she is loved by law or grace
But the unguardcd woman must fight her
fight with the same real and relative dsa-
bilty rs now; but with an assumed, II legal
equality, which precludes privilege, though
it cannot disarm fate. While she has no
vote, no defined power. her position is n
constant appeal to chivalry, a constant re-
Duke to brutality. When she has seized
the suffrage, her brutal employer and the
not too gentle bystanders will not fail to say

Now you have got your long-sought equal

are women still. Change thy laws, thy
state is still the same. Good men will be
good, but the bad and selfish will have no
cloak for their sins. With women some

held in leash by shame the life of the weak

DREAMS AND REALITIES.

following poem lie the last one sent by phrbe Cal
rs Bazar.l
D, Rosamond, thou fair and good
And perfect flower Of womanhood,
Thou royal rose Of June,
Why dd'st thou drocp before thy time,
Why wither in the first sweet prime
Why did'st thou die 50 soon!
For, looking backward through my tears
On thee, and on my wasted years,
| cannot choose but say,
II thou had'st lived to be my guide,
Or thou hadst lived and had died.
'Twere better far to-day.
o child Of light, o golden head
Bright sunbeam for one moment shed
Upon life's lonely way
Why did'st thou vanish from our sight,
Could they not spare my little light
From Heavens unclouded day
friend so true, o friend good
Thou one dream Of my maidenhood,
That gave youth all its charms
What had done, or what hadst thou,
That through this lonesome world till now
We walk with empty arms.
And yet had this poor soul been fed
With all 1t loved and coveted
Had life been always fair
Would these dear dreams that ne'er depart,
That thrill with bliss my Utmost heart,
Forever tremble there'
II still they kept their earthly place,
The friends held in my embrace,
Aud gave to death, alas
Could l have learned that clear, calm faith
That looks beyond the bonds Of death,
And almost longs to pass
Sometimes, l think, the things we see
Are shadows Of the things to be;
That what We plan We build
That every hope that hath been crossed,
Aud every dream we thought was lost,
In heaven shall be fulfilled
That even the children Of the brain
Have not been born and died in vain,
Though here unclothed and dumb
But on some brighter, better shore
They live, embodied evermore,
And wait for US to come.
And when on that last day we rise,
Caught up between the earth and skies,
Then shall we hear our Lord
Say, Thou hast done with doubt and death
Ilenceforth, according to thy faith,
Shall be thy faiths reward.
