However, by violent effort, he sue
ceeded, by talking about the Premier's
illness and the Irish Bill, till they
reached BlandfOrd's, where an Obliging
shOpman gave them seats, and begged
them to wait only one moment, as they
were so busy just then.
And Frank and uncle Tom sat down
and waited, close by them being a tall
Venetian screen, which neither partic-
ularly noticed, until, in a low, yet clear
ly distinct voice, they heard a sentence
or so that startled them.
How will that do, Miss Vane? /
have applied nearly an entire bottle of
the enamel; but-pardOn me-the hOl-
lows and wrinkles are SO deep that it is
almost impossible to obliterate them"
ut will have to do, suppose. For
tunately all my new costumes have
longer sleeves than the old ones Now
if you will make haste with my hair. l
shall wear the Perfection tonight, l
think; and, oh, please remember the
touch of pencil on my eyebrows. They
are getting so horribly thin and pale
lately"
Beyond doubt of mortal comprehen-
sion it was Aura Vane'S voice, and
Frank actually pitied the look that was
on the old gentleman's face.
And then-nO one in all the world
ever knew how such an unheard-Of,
awkward catastrophe happened, except
uncle Tom, whose foot reached out and
touched the dOor-the door in the
screen flew open, and revealed to both
gentlemen the startling sight of a
woman with head almost as bare Of
hair as pumpkin-Only the merest
wisp of gray hair, twirled in little
pig-tail on the crown-and on the
dressing-table beside her head of soft,
ripping tresses, and bottle of bella
donna, and pot of enamel, and vari-
Gus spOnges and brushes, and other
paraphernalia.
There was a shrek of horror from the
bald-fOreheaded lady, series of "Oh-O-
O-o-h'S!" and then-it all seemed in less
than a minute-the attendant threw a
shawl over Miss Vane's pate. Uncle
Tom gave groan of utter horror as he
got up and took Franks arm.
Il am going hOme,' he said tersely.
81 don't want any opera tonight. I've
seen enough. Great heavens! what an
escaped For all these mercies l am
more than thankful. To think-tO

think the story is told. Miss Aura
Vane did not secure her rich husband.
There are lots Of fellows, old and
young, who are daily being deceived by
even worse made-up women than She
only, sometimes, away down under all
the vain little artiiicialities, there is
often true, loving heart.
But even worse than this is the fate
of woman who finds that her ideal
man is only bundle of tailOr's clothes
and dentists skill, and wig makers art.
Don't you believe itp Or that there
are men who put their hair in papers,
and wear gloves at night, and then call
themselves LORDS of creation!"

DRILLING MINERAL FERTIL-
IZERS.

The use of sulphuric acid in dis
solving bone for fertilizing purposes
makes the manure very corrosive to
metal with which it comes in con-
tact. There is usually some free
acid, and this speedily forms a rust
which it is almost impossible to
remove so as to make the machine
do good work. After every piece is
finished the fertilizer box should be
cleaned and the ~stirrers which dis
tribute the fertilizer be taken out
and rubbed dry. Many fertilizer
drills are, ruined by one seasons
use, waen with proper care they
should last for years.

to pick the different varieties must
be learned by experience, and the
only general rule that can be given
is to take them when the delicate
blush is beginning to spread from
the cheek around to the sun shaded
side of the peach, or the green on
that side is turning to white. Some
varieties, as Rivers for example, re-
quire great care and close watching,
as their mature color is so little diff
ferent from the green state, but to
the practiced eye the change to
their beautiful waxy tint will indi-
cate their condition. It will also be
noticed with this variety that their
two sides seem to ripen equally to a
o marked degree than most other
kinds. If picked when the green
side is turning to it's delicate straw
color, the sunny side will be found
too ripe and they will not bear ship
ping far. They should therefore be
taken when the sunny side may
be still, at least partially green.
Hale's also require care, being one

A COW tied to "a rope has proven
bially a poor chance to show her
milk-producing capacity. Unless
she has extra feed beyond what she
a thus get, on an average we may
add two to three quarts daily to her
actual product in estimating her
natural capacity. The tether should
be changed frequently to give her
fresh pasture, and especial pains
ought to be taken to give her good
feed during the night. In hot
weather COWS do much Of their graz
ing at night and early in the morn
ing, when the dew is on the grass.
Cows yarded at night and not
MIXED until late in the morning
suffer most during hot weather. It
is better to tether them out at night,
giving them a good feed, and then
yard them where they can run in
dark stables to escape flies during
the hottest of the day.
