watching him rs his eye searched the room,
perhaps looking for me, aud realized sonae-

whose heart had SO ruthlessly trampled
upon.
A voice aroused me-a voice whose hon.
eyed accents had often fallen on my ear with
the same tenderness they now breathed.

The window in which sat concealed mo

with an expert motion which may be de-
scribed as Alp, he carried thread so fine
that it was almost invisible till it caught on
tho disc of slowly revolving wide wooden
wheel OF nineteen feet in circumference. At

it was removed. It then consisted of innu-

CHOICE OF HESs.-Tke sitters should be
chosen of breed characterized for persist
cnce aud regularity in incubation, fidelity to
their chickens and gentIeness OF disposition.
The Light Brahmas are our resource, and
cannot be excelcd for Matching aud rearing.
Pure bloods, however, are not used; but to
give less awkwardness aud greater spread Of
wings they should always be crossed by barn
yard fowls. The halt bloods resemble the
Brahmas the most in form and arc almost
uniformly docils. The half blood Brahmas
are extremely val' ALE for Matching and tak>
ing care of chickens. If, however, it is
more convenient to use some variety Of pure
blooded fowls for iucubating purposes, the
Plymouth Rocks OF other variety of the
Cochins or Brahmas will do very we'll. If
the stock of eggs be more than ordinarily
valuable, we prefer hens in their second or
third year. They are better mothers when
the younglings most need mothers care !;
they are always more steady and constant
after being nested, and they will bring up
their chicks. on the average, with considera-
bly, greater certainty than will yearliugs or
pu!lets. = Poultry World.
