CHAPTER XXI.

JOHN GORDON WRITES LETTER.
When they parted in the park. Mr.,
Whittlestaff trUdged off TO his own ho-
tel through the heat and sunshine. He
walked quickly, and never looked be-
hind him, and went as though he had
fully accomplished his object in one di-
rection, and must hurry to get it done
in another. To Gordon he had left no
directions whatever. Was he to be al
lowed to go down TO Mary, or even to
write her a letter. He did not know
whether Mary had ever been told of
this wonderful sacrifice which had been
made on her behalf. He understood
that he was to have his own way, and
was to be permitted to regard himself
as betrothed TO her, but he did not at
all understand what steps he was to
take in the matter, except that he was
not to go again to the diamond-ields.
But Mr.. Whittlestaf hurried himself
off to his hotel and shut himself up in
his own bedroom and when there, he
sobbed, alasl like child.
The wife whom he had won for him
self was probably more valuable to him
than II he had simply found her disen-
gagged and ready tojump into his arms.
She, at any rate, had behaved well.
Mr.. Whittlestaff had no doubt proved
himself TO be an angel, perfect all
round-such man as you shall moi
meet perhaps once in your life. But
Mary, too, had so behaved as to en-.
hance the love of any man who had
been already engaged to her. As he
thought OF the whole story of the past
week, the first idea that occurred to
him was that he certainly had been
present to her mind during the whole
period Of his absence. Though not 9
word had passed between them, and
though no word OF absolute love fol
each other had even been spoken be.
fore, she had been steady to him, with
no actual basis on which to found hel
love. He had known, and she had been
sure, and therefore she had been true
to him. 0f course, being true man
himself. he worshipped her all the
more. Mr.. Whittlestaff was absolute
ly, undoubtedly perfect; but In Cor
don's estimation Mary was not far of
perfection. But what was he TO dC
now. so that he might approach her?
He had pledged himself to one thing
and he must at once go to work ant
busy himself in accomplishing it. HI
had promised not to return to Africa
and he must at once see Mr.. Tookey
and learn whether that gentleman
friends would be allowed to 60 on witt
the purchase as arranged. He knew
Poker & Hodge to be moneyed men, o
to be men, at any rate, in command o
money. II they would not pay him a
once he must look elsewhere for buyers
but the matter must be settled. Tookey
had promised to come to his club thi
day. and there he would go and awai
his coming.

Winter In African Tropics.

Il seems to be hardly realized how
wintry Is the aspect Of the dry season
in the tropics. Many more Of the trees
in Africa are deciduous than we often
imagine in our conjured-up mental Wis
ions Of o fair tropic land, where per-
petual verdure reigns, and the vegeta-
ton is vague, indefinite mixture Of
limp-palms, with fronds like ostrich
feathers, and rampant bananas rails
ing their forid greenery above the
masses of formless creepers; but,
nevertheless, when about n month
has elapsed after the last rains are
over, the aspect of an Africa hillside
has much. of the cheerless desolation Of
winter about it. The once imposing
Baobabs, whose masses OF verdure were
fair to see, are reduced TO mazes OF
leatless twigs; the ground is covered
with brown carret of fallen leaves;
many trees, thought retaining their foli-
age, put forth no fresh shoots, and are
yellow and scared with the hot sun;
here and there an evergreen stands out,
like an English yew or holly, in almost
heartless contrast Of dark cold green,
amid its faded withered fellows,
and next TO 1t, perhaps, Is a white
skeleton OF what was short time
since tufted tree. The tall herbs.
erewhile gay with gorgeous flowers,
show now nothing but yellow stalks
and shriveled seed vessels, in which
perhaps there still turks point Of col
or in the red or orange seeds that
CLEAN from under the brown husk. The
many tiny aowerets, the MOSES and
fungi, are scarce TO find; only certain
repnlsive plants--things with fleshy,
mutilated limbs, wierdly swollen. DIS
torted and covered with malicious
prickles, stand forth in disagreeable
prominence, screened from view no
longer by the fair and delicate creeping
ferns and clambering lycopodiums, and
seeming TO stand unchanged and pros
porous when all else fades and dies. In
the great meadows through which the
path meanders, the waving grasses are
laid low, and in their place are dismal
tracks Of black ashes, where the bush
fires had Just swept by. But the dry
season Is hardly SO much as recupera-
| ton. II Is q short pause7-a sleep In
| which the expended forces Of nature are
once more gathered in. just as the
| earth In its summer solstice spins out
| from the SUMS control like q restless
| child, and then, wearied with its will
| fulness, lets itself be slowly drawn In
again TO run lis sober winter journey,
so its tiny children, who have rioted in
| all the exuberant excess Of spring and
summer, need the repose Of slack
months TO restore their energies. -Th'

Canning for Winter.

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman, writing on this timely
subject, says:
Whatever is to be canned, whether
fruit or vegetables, must be cooked
sufficiently to be eaten, and must be
boiling at the time it is put in the jar

can be easily moved when hoD near
the kettle that contains the fruit. Dip
large towel into hot water, and wind
it around the jar. After the jar is

cool place. Leave it upside down
until it cools. As the heat leaves the
jar, the cover will loosen, and must
be secured occasionally to render it
perfectly air tight.
There is a great difference in jars.
l have tested quite variety, and have
better success with Mason's porcelain
lined covers than any others. l purch-
ased large number of "Mason's i'm
proved" last year, with glass covers
screwed on with iron rings. Many OF
them were. worthless, the rings being
too large to screw the cover on air.
tight.
The pint jar is we'll adapted to small
families. Fruit that is kept air-tight
will soon spoil when exposed to the
air, and where only small amount is
used, they will be found very conven-
lent.
The old rule for making preserves
and jellies is pound of sugar for
every pound of fruit or pint of juice.
1t is a very inconsistent rule, and |
have long since abandoned its use. |
think the amount of sugar used should
depend on the acid in the fruit. Some
fruit is so sour that "pound for pound"
is necessary, but where there is little
acid in fruit, so much sugar entirely
destroys the rich fruit flavor.
Preserves and jellies should be kept
secluded from the air, and in dry
place. They should not be placed so
that the jars and glasses will come in
contact with damp walls as they i'm
bibe the moisture, both in dampness
and taste. TO prevent mould, lay
branded paper over the fruit before
laying down.

Cows.-The most profitable cow is
the one that pays the most profit upon
her cost and the cost of keeping. This
will be admitted. Suppose, for in
stance, that the yield of a COW that
originally cost fifty dollars and whose
keep cost half as much as that of an
other COW that originally cost thou
sand was regularly two thirds as much
as the yield of the latter. Clearly the
former would be the most profitable
COW, individually considered. Very
high priced COWS are not practical for
dairy purposes, if we look only to the
individual. A two thousand dollar
COW cannot be made to pay as much
at the pail as good mixer of a less
price can, unless she is very extraordi-
nary. A COW like the late Mercedes
would pay, but she was extraordinary.
But the profits from these high priced
COWS. from our improved breeds, Is not
wholly represented by their dairy pro-
ducts. Their offspring is valuable, and
right here is where the great difference
exists between the full blooded and
the common cow Western Rural.

Ailments of Swine Due to Mismanage.
fnent.

Indigestion sometimes occurs among
swine who are not supplied with food
at regular intervals, and occasionally
receive large and unlimited quantities
OF it. and in consequence pass sudden
ly from starvation TO surfeit, and
this evil greatly retards their growth
or fattening, or seriously damages their
health, or even undermines their CON
stitution. 1t must be rectificd by
supplying them with properallowances
of food at stated periods of the dry,
and never in such quantity at time
as to provoke them to gluttony.
Costiveness, accompanied by disin-
clination for food, sometimes results
from great and sudden changes of
weather, and from feeding necessarily
on dry and comparatively indigestible
food; and this may be corrected by
giving them any green food or succul-
ent vegetable substance which may
happen at the time to be most accessi.
BILE or plentiful, such as cabbage, let
tuce, potato tops, or mixture of sliced
potatoes and mangle-wurzel.
The opposite evil of diarrhpa, also,
is sometimes induced; and this may be
corrected by giving the animal free
access to cinders, soft coal, brick dust
and chalk rubbish.
Eruptions of the skin, occasionally
becoming aggravated into pustules and
scabs, sometimes also break out in the
ears; and these may be occasioned
either by want of proper ventilation,
by want of general cleanliness in the
sly Of house, by paucity of food, by too
stimulating diet, by the combined eff
fects of confinement, bad air and in
judicious feeding. A ready or effective
cure in the early stages or milder form
of this malady, is simply to give the
animals dry and clean quarters. and
access to cinders or charcoal; and a
suitable and even requisite remedy in
bad cases, particularly when the erup-
tions have become liberated and scab-
by, is to mix small doses of sulphur
and saltpetre with the food, and to
mix externally with a mixture of tar
and oil, or with a composition of sue',
tar and little sulphur.
