A little less Of brave intent,
Speaks on the things that once were fair,
As day by day the years are SPENT
A little lingering 'twixt the lights,
To muse on things that once were dear,
Or mayhsp from the hard-won heights
To hide sad, regretful tear.
A quickened vision sharp 20 see
In every sweet a hidden sting
something Of grim prophecy,
With heart sick doubt and questioning.
The path behind lies stepped in sun,
Such magic hath a backward glance;
But when with hopes and wishes done,
Tossed on the wave of circumstance,
We take the devious way alone,
Comes haunting fear Of dangers hiS;
The shadow Of the great unknown

The Journal OF Chemlstry--an un-
doubted authority-says of eggs that cat
average prices they are among the cheap
est and most nutritious articles of diet.
Like milk, an egg is complete food in
itself, containing everything necessary
for the development of perfect animal.
1t is also easily digested if not spoiled in
cooking. Indeed, there is no more con-
centrated and nourishing food than eggs.
The albumen, oil, and saline matter in
eggs are, as in milk, in the right proper
ton for sustaining animal life"
DR.. Edward Smith, in a recent treatise
on food, says: The value of one pound
of eggs, as food for sustaining the active
forces of the body is to the value of one
pound of lean beef As 1884 to 900. As
fl n producer one pound of eggs Is equal
one pound of beef" These statements
being accepted as true there is no econ
NJ in selling eggs at average prices, ex-
cept there is surplus above domestic
consumption.
The practice that prevails on many
farms of giving the products of the
poultry to the girls for pin money robs
the table of too many eggs. but it need
not. The custom is all right and should
be more common, but instead of taking
the eggs to the village to sell, let them be
bought and paid for by the head of the
family TO whatever extent they can be
proitably used.
We belieyein giving the girls chance,
and would increase rather than diminish
their privileges and perquisites on the
farm, but they need not be compelled to

the eggs, poultry or fruit, to the produc-
ton of which they may give specia.

plus above the home demand.
MRS. CarIyIe's Housekeeping.
The wife of the famous Thomas Car
lyle had many trials in her early house
keeping. She learned to make bread
from recollecting how che had seen an
old servant set to work and she used to
say that the first time she attempted
brown bread it was with awe. She
mixed the dough and saw it rise and
then she put it into the oven and sat
down to watch the oven door with feel.
ings like BenvenutO Gellini's when he
watched his Perseus put into the furnace.
She did not feel sure how it would come
out. But it appeared beautiful crusty
loaf, light and sweet.
The first time she tried pudding she
turned the servant out of the kitchen
and locked the door on herself. Some
times she could not send to the nearest
town for butchers meat, and then she
was reduced to her poultry.
She had peculiar breed of long.legged
hens and she used to 60 into the yard
amongst them and point out those that
were to be killed, feeling, she said, like
Fouquier Tinville pricking down his
victims. The country was uninhabited
for miles around. She used to say that
the stiffness was awful, and when she
walked out she could hear the sheep nib
bling the grass, and they used to look
at her with innocent wonder.
One day she received news that Lord
Jeffrey and family were coming. She
mounted her horse, galloped off to
Dumfries to get what was needed and
galloped back, and was already to re
ceive her visitors with no trace of hel
