happiness of my love for her sake. I left
my home and wrote to her that I gave her
back her word. I never saw her again ex-
cept upon her deathbed. She died at the
birth of her first daughter. Now you
know why loved your Mary, and pro-
longed her life from day to day. She was
the only being that still bound my heart
to this world. Bear life as have borne
it. Do not lose day in vain grief Help
men where you can; love them, and thank
God that on earth you have seen, known,
loved-and lost such heart as.hers."
"As God acMs," said /, and we parted
for life.
Days and weeks, months and years,
have passed. Home has become strange
land to me, and strange land has be-
come home. But her love Las remained,
and as tear falls into tho sea, SO has my
love for her fallen into the living sea Of
humanity, and penetrates and surrounds
millions millions of strangers" whom
have loved SO much from childhood.
Only, on q still summers day, like to-
day, when one, lying alone in the green
wood On the heart of nature, does not know
whether outside there are still human
beings, or whether he lives quite alone on
t his earth, something stirs in the bury
i ng-place of memory, and the dead
thoughts rise again, and the whole omnip-
otence of love returns to the heart and
streams forth from that beautiful soul
who looks at me again with her deep TN.
fathomable eyes. Then it seems as if the
love to millions vanished in the love to
one my good angel; and my thoughts
grow dumb before the unsearchable prob
lem of finite and infinite love.

Wool ON n Live Sheep.

The Trade Journal is credited with the fol-
lowing suggestion for selecting fne-wooled
sheep:
Always assuming the wool to be inspected
is really a fine wool, we first examine the
shoulders at the part where the finest and
best wool is usually found. This we take as
a standard and compare. it with the wool from
the ribs, the thighs, the rump and the shoul-
der parts, and the nearer wool from the vari-
GUS portions of the animal approaches the
standard the better. First we scrutinize the
fneness, and if the result is satisfactory we
pronounce the fleece, in respect to fineness.
very even. Next we inquire into the length
of the staples, and if we find that the wool on
the ribs, thigh and back approximate reason
ably In length 10 that of our standard, we
again declare the sheep, as regards length of
sample, true ana even. We next desire to
satisfy ourselves as to the density of the fleece,
and we do this by closing the hand upon a
portion of the rump and of the loin wool, the
fleece at these points being usually the thin
nest, faulty, and if it again gives satisfaction,
we signify the fact by designating the wool
even as respects density. Now to summarize
these separate examinations: Ifyou find the
fleece of nearly equal frmness from the
shoulder to the thigh, of nearly equal length,
shoulder, rib, thigh and back, and density on
shoulder and across the loins, you may con-
clude that you have perfect sheep for pro-
ducing valuable wool. Selecting sheep for
valuable feeders is quite another thing.

Sex i'm Poultry.

Something over a year ago happened 10
see the following in some of the agriculture
papers.
"One of your correspondents revives the
old question about sex in eggs; l send my
experience. Last winter and old country
poultry keeper told me he could distinguish
sex in eggs; L laughed at him, and was none
the less sceptical when he iold me the follow
ing secret: Eggs with the air bladder on the
centre of the crown of the egg will produce
will produce pullets.' The old man was so
certain of the truth of his dogma, and the
poultry yard so far confirmed it, that de-
termined to make experiments upon
it this year. have done so,
carefully registering every bladder VERTICAL
or bladder on one slde,' rejecting every one
in which it was not decidedly one or the 9TH
er, as in some it is only very slightly out of
the centre. The following is the result:
Fifty-eight chickens were Matched; three are
dead; eleven are too young yet to decide upon
their sex; of the remaining forty-four every
one has turned out true to the old mans the
ory. tried it myself and found it to be cor
rect, and as I think it to be of great practical
advantage, am pleased to give it my full en-
dorsement, though | would remark that other
writers make the statement that they tried it
and found no such results. l am breeding
white Leghorns which naturally seem to give
more cockerels than pullets, at least such has
been the case until last year, when set only
such eggs as had the air bladder well to one
side, and in nearly every case they were pull
lets. Late in the season set a lot of hens
with eggs, just as they were laid, and more
than half the chicks turned out cockerels.-

Milk Diet.

81 find by experience" said DR.. Fl. N.
Chapman, s'that lime water and milk is not
only food and medicine at an early period of
life, but also at later, when, as in the case
OF infants, the functions of digestion and as
stimulation have been seriously impaired. A
stomach, taxed by gluttony, impaired by i'm
proper food, infamed by alcohol, and enfee-
bled by disease or otherwise untitled for its
duties as shown by the various symptoms at
tendant. upon indigestion, dyspepsia, diar-
rhea, dysentery and fever, will resume its
work, and do it theoretically, on an exclusive
diet of lime water and milk. A goblet OF
cows milk, to which four tablespoonfuls of
lime water have been added, will agree with
any person, however Objectionable the plain
article may be, will be friendly to the stom-
ach when other food is oppressive, and will
be digested when all else fails to afford nour-
isnment. OF this statement have had posi-
tive proof in very many cases.
The blood being thin, the nerves weak, the
nutrition poor, the secretions defective, the
excretions insufficient, the physician has at
hand remedy as common as air, and as
cheap, almost, as water In it all the ele-
ments of nutrition are so prepared by nature
as to be readily adapted to the infant or adult
stomach, and so freighted with healing vir-
tues as to work cure when drugs are worse
than useless"

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Pnre Honey.

That there is knack in preparing honey,
few will dispute who have met with so many
varieties in color, purity and flavor Like
everything else, the art must be studied, and
it is only those who give their particular
attention to details, that may expect to excel.
Here is a method followed by DR.. F. A.
Baker, who recently succeeded in carrying off
the first honey prize at the New York Insti-
tute:
The plan is simply to keep a very strong
colony queenless during the period of the
greatest flow of honey. All apiarians know
that virgin swarm will work with more
energy in building comb and storing honey
than one with full supply. 1t is not un-
common for strong families, with every
thing needful for storing honey in surplus
boxes, to loaf about the hive until few
empty frames are given between the full
ones, when they will soon be filled; but being
in the queens chamber, she Immediately per-
forms her maternal duty and you get no hon.
ey. The law is immutable in their allowing
no empty space between brood combs, and
the law impelling the bees to fill the space
with comb acts with like force in indicating
to the queen her duty. By virtue of cause
and effect, if the entire hive is made into
space it is but fulfilling that law for the bees
to promptly fill it with comb and honey, if
perchance it is in abundant supply; but mad
am queen being present, we must allow a
considerable force to assist in attentions to
her royalty; dethrone her and supply the
colony with material to make new one, and
yet allow none TO mature for period, and
we shall have our boxes filled with the beau
teous nectar. The operation is to put two
large swarms without bees or comb. into
hive filled with empty sectional frames or
honey boxes, and give one brood comb at one
end of the hive, and before the new queen is
Matched remove the comb and give them an
other. When the second has become fertile,
the greatest flow of honey being over, remove
combs or empty frames as the fall season for
honey may indicate. The queens and brood
combs can be utilized TO advantage, which
any intellgentsapairian will understand
