rest of his life!
In fact, it was she who might choose
to make the sacrifice, and thus save
him from the unhsppiness in store for
him. Such had been the nature of bis
dream. As he was eating his beefsteak
and potatoes, he told himself that it
could not be so, and that the dream
must be flung TO the winds. A certain
amount of strength was now demanded
of him. and he thought that he would
be able to use it. '.No, my dear. not

under Heaven had been given. Though

speak to her, and then he would turn
away: and tine term of his misery would
have commenced.
On the next morning he got up and
prepared for his interview with John
Gordon. He walked up and down the
sward of the Green Park, thinking to
himself of the language which he would
use. II he could only tell the mar that
he hated him, while he surrendered TO
him the girl whom he loved so dearly.

was nothing of Christian charity in his

Painting Shingled Roefs.

More singled roofs are painted now
than ever before in the history of build
ing in this country. 1t is mostly seen
in cities and suburban towns, although
in the country it is by no means rare.
Considerable inquiry has led to the
conclusion that many have their roofs
painted to add to their appearance,
which in MANY cases It certainly does,
while others labor under the impression
that the paint acts rs = preservative to
the shingles. The latter are probably
right, provided the paint is renewed rs
often as it needs to be. II the roof is
allowed to remain with the paint partly
worn of, the shingles will retain more
moisture. aud consequently decay
sooner than they would were they not
painted at all. On the score OF dur
ability, however, little can be gained
in cost by painting. A good shingle
roof unpainted will last a great many
years, and the expense of painting it
few times would replace it. One
painter. who had painted the roof of
his own house. when questioned by q
representative of the Lum6ernaaY, used
good logic from his standpoint. He
thought that painting a roof would add
somewhat to its length of life. 'You
see," he said that l have painted
mine. do for myself what desire to
do for others II 1 did not, the in
fiuence would be bad"--Sesenttfs

Care Of Farm Dressing.

Within the past twenty or thirty
years great change has taken place in
the matter OF farm dressing. In former
years barns were so built that all the
excrementitious matter was thrown out
of windows behind the cattle and left
there for months, exposed to sun and
rain. Of course it lost much of its vel
ne. The aggregate waste was enor-
nous. When barn cellars were intro
duced great change took place. All
the dressing was kept under cover and
no longer exposed to loss by weather.
In addition TO the barn cellar the plan
of using muck was recommended and
widely adopted-using it as an absorb
ent for the liquid which before had
been whvlly wasted. All this was in
the right direction; but all farmers did
not adopt the new method. and have
not vet Even many who have barn
cellars are very careless and neglectful
in regard to supplying muck, loan,
sand. or other substance, to absorb the
liquids, and so still much goes to waste.
We have seen many farms where the
acres look lean and hungry, and yet
where the owner allows much valuable
improve them. We have also seen farms
where proper economy is used, and ev-
erything that would be Of value for en-
riching the soil is carefully saved.
Such are known as thrifty. farmers.
and their farms always make good
showing. If one has muck handy, and
light soil upon which to put the
dressing, then it would be better to use
muck. If one has heavy, stiff soil on
which to use the dressing, and can read
lily get sand to use as an absorbent,
then it would be better to use that SUBJ
stance. Nothing leaves the dressing in
better condition for use than sand.
Loan is an excellent thing to use for
this purpose, and can be applied on al
most any soil 10 advantage. While we
should prefer to use the substances
named above. there are others that are
often used that are certainly better than
none. One farmer who keeps a fine
herd of COWS and makes butter for
market, uses sawdust, for the double
purpose of keeping everything clean and
peat and for absorbing all liquids. In
this case all solid excrement is removed
as soon as dropped. A large amount
OF excellent dressing is thus made on
the farm. The sawdust costs nothing
but the carting. Some use spent tan.
We have seen shavings used for the
same purpose, but they are not very
good. We advise in the strongest terms
tine use of some substance to absorb the
liquids of the cattle and to be used in
the pig-pen, so as to increase the dress
ing for the farm. When dressing is
carted out into heaps in the field tie
heaps should always be covered. 1t
seems strange that any one should fail
to accept and practice that which it is
So evidently for their interest. but such
is still the case in no small degree
COngregationaiist.

Manuring Fruit Trees.

1t is only by repeating advice to peo-
ple-some of whom may be very care
ful in almost everything else con-
nected with the farm-that, however
good it may be, it will be likely to be
needed. how often We have suggested
the manuring of fruit orchards we can
not remember; but probably it has been
half a score of times or oitener. still,
the general experience is that this part
of the duties OF the farmer continues to
be largely neglected. On what ground
other than pure thoughtlessness, 1t is
thus neglected, we can not imagine. as
no crop upon the farm will retm>.. a
greater profit from the applicatiop If
o fertili, er than this No crop. oy
whatever name known, can be success
fully cultivated without manure.
When an orchard is young and things
are raised between the rows of trees,
these are always enriched, and the
young trees, receiving q portion of
it. get along very well; but when
the trees become so large as to
prevent any other crop than grass
to be grown among them, they
have no dependence; their crops tail in
quantity and quality. and the orchard
has reached that point when they Az
supposed TO have seen their best days,
the proprietors never for a moment re-
membering that they cannot live well
and perform their whole duty without
feeding.
The fruit tree is not particular or
saucy as 10 its Diet. 1t does not ask
for the richest and most costly
provender. Even dr. ssins of earth,
or of pure clay. is very acceptable
washings from the highways particu-
larly so; and wood ashes. of course. In
fact. almost everything that is next to
valueless for other objects does very
well with the fiuit tree. 1t is true that
richer or more expensive fertilizers
would answer great deal better, but
not to such an extent as to pay for the
difference in cost. But whatever the
material may be, no farmer who desires
his orchard to return Hmm the full
measure of its product can affotd to
neglect it in the manner referred to.
Let him do his duty to his trees. and
then complain that fruit wal no longer
do in his region if there is any short
coming in their crops. Try it and see.

Big crops will not always make a

what crop can be raised that will bring

upon, do not stake everything on one
crop, but make some one crop large

Strange PiayfellOw.

The following account of the remark
able friendship between the elephant
Queen" and little Don Melville Is
taken from an article by John r Cor
yell in 81. Nicholas; when he could
Just toddle, Don would run up to Queen
with chuckle of delight, and putting
his white, plump little arms around her
great brown. hairy trunk. would tug
away with all his little strength, as II
he believed he could pull that living
mountain over.
'.And, strange to say, he actually ac-
complished his object, for Queen hu-
mored the little fellows fancy. Sway
ing and rumbling with delight, she
would gradually allow herself to come
to her knees, and finally to fall over on
her side. And it was touching to see
how all the time she kept her eyes low
ingly on the beautiful baby, taking care
that no movement of hers could even
disturb him.
when she was at last PROSTATE,
Don would look around as if to say:
See what I can do,' Then he would
initiate what he had seen the trainer
perform. He would Chamber and climb
until he was on Queens head. and there
he would sit, with the air of a conquer
or. He was quite likely to thrust his
fist into the elephants eye or TO swing
his foot into her mouth. but not a mo-
ton would the patient creature make
while he sat there, for she seemed to
know that he was not very secure in
his high peiAh.
Sometimes Don would carry his
to Queen. and together
they would build houses. Don would
put on one block, and then Queen
would take one up in her trunk and
put it in its place as carefully as if she
bad been used to the game all her life;
and when Don would kick the house
down, As he usually did when it was
about halt built, his merry laugh and
her thunder-like rumble were something
worth going miles to hear.

that there was anything odd in his COM
with the gigantic creature;
