The invalid's eyes lighted rs
Leonard came in, and he motioncd
him to come near to him.
Leonard" he said, in q low
tone, kept steady by a great effort,
"the time has come when | want
you and Alma to answer frankly
what shall ask you. Two papers
arc under my hands, one of which
! wish to destroy after you answer
me. l am dying, and Alma is free
DO You love hcr?'
YES, l love her." was the grave,
tender reply.
And you, Alma? Forget that
you were bound to NE by y mis-
taken duty, and tell me if you love
Leonardo
The whispering answer reached
him only, but he smiled as he
snid:
CDR. Hartley, will You burn this
paper??"
As the last ashes fell from the
CRATE, he gave another folded paper
to the doctor.

"thsre are 10 hard conditions init ;
il simply divides my Troperty,with
the exception Of n few !egacieS, be.

rNresscd Alma's trembling hand,
"and my friend.' and he smiled in
Leonard's agitatcd face. II have
known this must lie for several
months. and you must not mourn
for me too deeply"
Only Alma's smothcred sohs and
l.eonard's broken words answered
him, and presently lie said:
doctor. | would be alone with
YOU"
For in his unselfsh love he
spared Alma even the pain Of the
death struggle he felt approaching.
Only his old friend stood by him
as the gasping breath came more
and more family. Only the same
friend heard the broken words Of
PRAYER with which his pure spirit
took lOavc Of life.
1t was y calm face, graceful with
the great peace earth cannot give,
that Alma and Leonard ga2cd upon
when tear'ully and sulcmnly they
clasped hands in bstrothaI, accept
ing the Inheritance of love and
wealth so nobly given them.

There is.a growing desire among
farmers in Wood and many other
counties to 90 more largely into
Spcep raising, providing they can
have protection from destruction
of their hocks by dogs. At the re-
qncSt Of Il number Of such farmers,
We have hunted up the law as it
now exists upon that subject:
1st. Tho Act OF February &c,
1876, authorizes "Any person 10
kill any dog that he may see chas-
ing, Worrying, wounding or kill
Ing any sheep or lambs, outside of
the enclosure Of the owner Of such
dog" 4 number Of sl2sep killing
dogs can he dispersed of in this
way if farmers havo Il common un-
dcrstanding about executing this
provision Of the law.
End. According to the same net
the owner Of Il sheep killing dog is
liable for all tho damage done 10y
such dogs to sheep.
3rd. The same Act provides that
the owner CT any sheep killing dog
shall within IS hours after receiv.
ing notice of damage ,lono to sleep
By such dog have the dog killed,
and be subject to fine if he fails to
do 80.
18th. Tile Act Of December 2lst.
1875, provides that the County
Court may levy Il tax on dogs, and
the moneys raised by said tax shall
constitute a fund out Of which the
owners of sheep killed or injured
by dogs may he paid damages Tor
any loss sustained.
The County Cows" may Of its own
motion submit the question Of tay-
ing dogs To the voters Of u county,
or upon the petition Of 100 rcsi.
dent frceholdcrs, it shall submit
such questions to the votors.

lowing useful hints from the Young Scientist !:
The efficiency Of lathes, scroll saws, sewing
machines, and even watches, often depends
upon the judgment and care used in selecting
lubricator, and the choice is frequently i'll
made. Common kerosene oil is often inju.
diciously used in place of thicker or more
bland oil, because the heat produced by fric.
ton rapidly vaporizes the oil and leaves the
journal dry. Crude petroleum for the same
reason is only fitted for very slowly revolving
journals, such as water wheels. For very
heavy machinery, or for gearing, tallow and
black lead rubbed up together is the best lu:
bricant, and is also the best for wagon and
carriage axles during the hot weather. For
light running machinery sperm oil is the
best; good olive oil that has not become ran
cid and acid is perhaps the second best, and
for winter use lard oil is excellent, but is rath.
er too dry to be a frst-class lubricant. Castor
oil is better for axles in the winter, and black
lead with it is help at any time.
How INTEREST RUNS UP-In October,
1854, George T. Walker, of San Francisco,
gave promissory note to William Hood, for
81 $50, payable in six months, and bearing 3
per cent. month interest, the agreement be-
ing that the interest was to be computed
monthly and added to the principal until the
whole was paid. No interest was ever paid
on the note, and before its maturity Walker
went to Mexico to live. A few months ago
he returned to San Francisco, and Hood
brought suit against him to recover on the
note. On computing the interest it was found
that, added to the principal, it amounted to
to the enormous sum of S9,000,0O0 and de-
fault judgment was rendered for that amount.
