have been the drawbacks to using steam
power on common roads, it 10 claimed,
have been overcome completely, which

with respect p the following plants
The small bindweed, Conrotv2tluS Gg-

siS expand their flowers at the approach
of wet weather, whilst on the other
hand the different varieties of clover
contract their leaves before rain. Ii
fine bright weather is in prospect, the
leaves of the chickweed, Steti0ria me-
dia, unfold and its flowers remain
awake and erect until midday. When
the plant ilrooYs and its flowers do NOT
expand, rain may not be expected. The
half-opening Of the flowers is a sign
that the wet will not last long. The
Burnet saxifrage, PH2pincYn aorifrngC,
indicates the coming weather in the
same manner. AS to the small Cape
marigold, Calr1duIa pIuUialjs, should
it open at six or seven a. m. and not
close till four P. m, we may reckon on
settled weather; if the flower continues
after seven, it betokens rains.
In the case Of the corn and common

And golden sheaVes bring home triumphantly.

BARBARA HERON,
AGED AZ.

Who expressly desired that these words of Goo
should be written on her grave for the comfort o.
whoever should come here repentant and sorrow
stricken:-
! "Who is God like unto thee? Thor
wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea-
"For the Lord shall comfort Zion: He will COM
| fort all her waste places, and he will make hel
wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the gar
den of the Lord: joy and gIadness shall be found
therein: thanksgiving and the voice of melody"
And the stranger bowed himself to
the ground, as if he had heard an an
gels voice. Perhaps he did. Here was
the love-type of that heavenly love
that he was wildly clutehing in faith
that was half despair!-the love that
survived sin and suffering and death,
and stretched a hand to save and soothe
from the very grave itself.
Oh, Barbara, Barbara, your tender
ness had taught you to lay sweet
snares for every possible opportunity !!
Oh, Barbara, Barbara! surely God
must have comforted you in your lonely
walkings in those green avenues by the
ruined abbey. He did not empty your
pure heart Of it's earthly love, but He
dropped into it balm which changed
its bitterness to celestial nectar. Up in
Heaven, where you are, Barbara, there
is only joy over the returning sinner
And still the stranger sat on the damp
winter sod with his face between his
hands. He was not wishing her back,
the dear love of his youth. Better
where she was, where no mortal soul
could ever touch thatgreat love, which
was long enough, and strong enough,
to stretch from Heaven to earth. Only
there he sat, shuttAg out flom his eyes
the sweet, peaceful scenes around him,
even as they Eoust be shut from his life,
and seeing far beyond the "waste
places" and " wilderness" that his own
sins had made, into that joyful country
where the ransomed of the Lord shall
return, where they shall obtain joy
and gladness, and sorrow and signing
shall fee away"
That night the stranger walked again
in front of that lowly house in the quiet
by-way. Christmas savors came through
the kitchen window, bright light gIeam-
ed between the curtains, even sounds
of glad young laughter and merry song
reached ths lonely watcher without.
And he could thank God dor them now.
Ha could even smile in sympathy with
the joy he might not share. He had
his own.
In that Iowly house, after supper,
when the young ones we're quiet round
the fire, cracking nuts and asking rid
dies, Aunt Mary fell into a soft sleep on
the sofa They saw her smile in her
sIumber, and when she woke she told
them in her subdued. pathetic voice,
that she had been dreaming of poor

They cannot forget. Ny life lies

How can I bear even His pardon, if His

Desirable Qualities in % Pig.

If ell the desirable qualities in pig,
vigorous appetite is of the first inn
portance. A hog that will not eat, is of
no more use than a mill that viii not
grind. And is undoubtedly true that
the more a pig will eat in proportion to
his size, provided he can digest and as
simulate it, the more profitable he will
prove.
The next desirable quality is, perhaps,
quietness of disposition. The blood is
derived from the food, and flesh is
derived from the blood. Animal force
is derived from the transformation of
flesh. The more of this is used in nm
necessary motions, the greater the
demand on the stomach, and the more
food will there be required merely to
sustain thoyital functions-and the more
frequently flesh is transformed and
formed again, the tougher and less
palatable it becomes.
This quality, quietness Of disposition,
combined with a small amount Of useless
parts, or offal, has been the aim of I'LL
modern breeders. Its Importance will
viii readily be perceived if we assume
that seventy-fve per cent. Of the food is
ordinarily consumed to support the vital
functions, and that the slight additional
demand of only one-sixth more food, is
required for the extra offal parts and
unnecessary activity. Such q coarse,
restless animal would gain, in flesh and
fat, in PROPORTION to the food consumed.
only half as fast as the quiet, refined
animal. Toassume that a rough, coarse,
savage, ill-bred mongrel hog will require
one-sixthmore food than quiet, refined,
well-bred Berkshire, Essex or Suffolk,
is not extravagant
