piled to alleviate the pain, but the place con-

eight months ago | was in Atlanta, vt the
termined to make an effort to procure it. In
this was successful, and began its use. The

after the first few bottles. My general health
has greatly improved | anu stronger, and

DIshOrning Calves,

In the genus Bos, the horn proper is hol-
low appendage of the skin, and in the young
calf this is merely the matrix of the future
horn. At the age of 10 to Is days, this
matrix is but small, movable prominence,
which may be removed by one sweep of a
strong pocketknife. This operation causes
but little pain, and soreness for only a day
or so. The calf is not injured or stunted
and the wound heals more quickly than those
caused by castrating. 1t is probable that
this plan will be quite as painless as the moro
common process Of soaring the young horn
with hot iron. In either case, there is apt
to be a small bunch or horn at the side of the
head Where this practice is continued for
several generations, the horn often entirely
disappears, and, in many instances, polled
calves are produced. But do not attempt
the process with grown cattle.

VII.

The three persons of this little tabeau
maintained their positions unchanged for
several moments. The girls quiet glance
had passed from Austen to Lund, when
the latter started up, and she continued to
look straight at him. Lund was, indeed,
man OF striking aspect-dark, with
DARK, deep-set eyes, delicate features and
MS mar long, as was the custom at that
period. His habitual expression was
marked by sensitive reserve, but, at this
Juncture, t was vivid and full of repress-
ed excitement. There was something in
his appearance, moreover, which, to Mary
Lambert, seemed peculiarly sympathetic
and winning. She had never met him be-
fore and yet there was something not all
together unfamiliar in the impression he
produced upon her it was face which
seemed to fulfill some vague anticipation
of her nature perhaps, in her secret med
itations, she had figured to her magma
ton man like this. Such vague idea
would no doubt be stimulated if it were
not altogether created, by the intensity
and expectation of the regard he bent
upon her. 1t was a look that deeply call
ed upon her for response-that penetra-
ted through formalities, and touched all
in her that was human and feminine. 1t
drew her towards him and it was only
by a conscious effort that she restrained
herself from physical compliance with
this unaccountable summons.
Mary Lambert was in the prime of her
fresh and comedy youth. Classically beau
tiful she was not but the softness of her
eyes, the gentle modesty OF her lips, the
clear purity of her complexion, and a GER
tain simple, unconscious dignity of girl
ish grace, made her sweet to look upon.
Her earlier years had been spent in seclu-
sion her father had been almost her only
friend and companion she had lived in
world of books, of country walks, OF quiet
household duties, The change from this
serene solitude to the hustle and publicity
of an inn would have been too trying to
any one but sincere and well-balanced
