it fare lily for the tender body, had not
strong arm interposed between. AS
it was the shock was great enough to
render her nearly unconscious for a
minute, and for that one blessed min
ute that fascinating glove-man and
coachman held her to his heart with a
degree Of quite unnecessary vigor when
you came to consider there was no i'm
mediate danger of another breaker.
But he was white to the lips.
AS she opened her dazed eyes he re-
leased her and said with the perfect adj
dress and accent of the cultivated gen.
tleman:
Pardon the liberty I have taken,
Miss Montgomery, but saw the break
er approaching and knew you were
quite unprepared for it. Let me con-
duct you to your brother"
AS Eugenia turned her grateful ewes
upon him she perceived his right arm,
that great, muscular arm which had in
terposed between herself and that
wretched post was cut and bleeding.
ooh, sir, you are hurt Your arm is
bruised, and you-that isl am the I'M
fortunate cause"
Perhaps it was the sweet concern in
her face; perhaps it was what he saw in
her eyes, or perhaps it was the adora-
ton he had in his heart, but whatever
it was, he said in voice of passionate
tenderness:
eff you only knew how happy you
have made me -
And then hastily, seeing her confu-
sion, II am Hartley ST. John. You must
have heard my mother speak of me, for
she has often told me of you"

that is-Jack said"
The beautiful eyes dropped and he
saw vivid blush creep over her white
bosom and dye her dimpled cheeks a
rich carmine.
He laughed as if he knew. "I can
imagine what Jack said. Mother and 1
were to have called to-day''-but by
this time that tormenting Jack was at
hand with concern in his face and re-
morse in his heart, for the scamp
adored his sister.

seaside summer. What it did tor the

Green Peas for the Table.

Farmers, of all others, should have
succession of the choicest vegetables.
If they fail in this, as many do, they
do not improve their privileges as they
ought, and might just about as well live
in the crowded city as on the farm.
The green-pea season on most farms is
shortened too much, and on some it
never comes at all. To have peas four
or five weeks requires three varieties;
two early and one late should be sown,
and with two or more paintings of these.
For the very earliest smooth early
variety may be planted, as these are
more hardy than the sweeter wrinkled
sorts. Then week or ten days later
plant the early wrinkled sorts, like Lit
tie Gem, and at the same time Cham
pion of England. This last is a tall,
late variety, and the three paintings
will keep succession for fully three
weeks. A second planting of both the
early and late varieties may be made
ten days later, and these will generally
escape mildew. If planted after the
soil becomes heated the mildew at
tacks the vine and ruins it before the
peas are large enough to use.

FARM AND HOME.
The City'S Crowd,

The City's Crowd
The city's crowd What a motley throng
OF people compose it, as to and fro,
Laughing or frowning, they hurry along;
On business INTENT
On pleasure bent
Laughter with sounds of sobbing blent;
Where do they come nom-Where do they go?
Where do they go when the day is done?
When the light with the gloom of night is
blended,
And the twnkl1ng stars
Through lattice bars
Each in his place show one by one
Their crystal lanterns, Godattended.
What are their hopes, and what are their fears
How many shall quaff from the cup of sue
cess
How many remember the burnt-out years
OF the past by its bitter Wretchedness
Mem'ries of hopes denied, and tears
Shed in the bier of loneliness !
Backward and forward the city's crowd
Sweep ever and ever motley throng
Pleasure in finery; woe in a shrCud
Of black, meet and mingie and hurry along,
Hither and thither;
Whence from and whittier?
How many shall live and how many
shall wither
Through the night, in the night,
When the day shall be ended,
And It's pallid cold light
Into darkness be blended :?

matter decreases the surface becomes
hardened, and water from rains and
SHOWS runs off instead of sinking down
into the soil. For this reason many
small springs fail, as the water runs
away early on the surface, instead of
slowly fltering into the reservoirs that
formerly supplied them. This is es-
peclally true on heavy land, whose
capacity for retaining moisture depends
largely on the vegetable matter that it
contains. 1t is a common mistake to
think that undertaking makes soils
dryer in times of drought. On the con-
trary it does exactly the reverse. The
drain, by removing surplus stagnant
water, allows the soil to freeze to a
greater depth, and thus become more
porous. The value of an underdrain
thus increases the deeper freezing of
each successive winter, because this
increases the capacity of the soil to re-
tain water This is one reason why
drains should be made at least three
feet deep in our Northern climate,
SO as to get them down below reach of
injurious freezing. Generally, how
ever, when the soil freezes SO deeply
there is no water in the tiles, and if
they or the soil around them be frozen
1t does the drain no damage.

Rotation for Gardens.

1t is good occasionally to give the gar
den rest by seeding it with clover or
grass for year or two, and highly ma
nuring some other plat to use in it's
stead. It requires, however, one or
two years time to bring up even rich
farming land to the condition needed
for garden purposes. The beginning
should be made now by manuring heav
lily a clover sod and planting with early
potatoes. Then in the fall manure
again, and SOW the patch with rye to be
ploWed under in the spring. By this
means the manure will be thoroughly
incorporated in the soil. The old gar
den after its use this summer may be
sown with rye or wheat, and seeded
with grass in the fall and with clover
seed next spring. In two or three
years this will restore lightness and
fertility to the soil that cannot be got
in any other way.

Another Fallacy Exploded.
From the Christian Advocate.

The Chinese are not our antipodes.
Indeed, we have none. An antipode is
one who lives on the opposite side of
the globe, and whose feet are, of
course, directly opposite to the
feet of those who live on this side, but
directly opposite our country is wild
waste of waters. The Chinese, who
dwell on the other side of the globe, but
icians. Those who live on the
same meridian, but in the southern
hemisphere. are our anticians Our an
tipodes must oppose us both in latitude
and longitude.

Cotton Seed as FerfiIizer-

For many years Southern planters
have used cotton seed as manure, first
piling it in heaps to rot it so that the
seeds will not terminate. It is very
rich in nitrogen and phosphate, thus
returning to the soil the most important
elements of plant food that the cotton
crop takes from it. But since the value
Of cotton seed meal as feed has been
proven, little is now used in its crude
state. The manure from ton of cotton
seed meal is said by the chemists to be
worth $25 or more per ton, according to
the kind of stock fed with it. The
meal can be bought at wholesale at lit
tie more than its manurial value. It is
therefore good policy for Northern
farmers to feed as much as they can
without injury to their stock It is
very rich, and needs to be given with
other less concentrated forms of nutri-
ment.

Providing Against Emergencies.

HrOVlulnS against emergencies.
The comparatively small amount of
what we have learned to consider the
necessaries of life kept in store in cities
or families was strongly illustrated dur
ing the recent Eastern blizzard Many
families, and those not the poorest eth
er, were caught with small supplies Of
food and coal. There was a necessary
scarcity of such perishable articles as
milk, that must be renewed day by
day, but scarcity in other things seems
hardly compatible with common, pru-
dent forethought. 1t is probably true
that few families in cities are as well
prepared for siege as are the majority
of farmers homes. It seems to be
taken for granted in the city that any
thing wanted may be bought from day
to day. In the country the prudent
householder knows that he may be is

She knew not how to make bed;
And | will swear upon the book
She could not bake a loaf OF bread.
She into corners swept the dust;
dustpan she had never seen;
The range took on a coat otrust;
Pots, pans, and kettles were unclean.
Till it was black she boiled the tea;
The pan in which she boiled the fish
She used unclean for fricassee;
AT every meal she broke dish.
Although of splendid health and strong,
OF work she seemed to be afraid;
She never cleaned the lamps as long
AS she could see without their aid.
About her rights she had no doubt,
And did not fear OF them to speak:
She wanted every Sunday out,
And three nights also every week.

She's now instructress IN school
For training servant girls, think.

"Stop 1t Right Away"

gEishmen. There has been no decided
action taken in the various unions
against this practice. The United Order
of American Carpenters and Joiners are
much aggrieved and the Grand Execu-
tive Council, at a recent meeting,
adopted resolutions that no foreigner
can become member of the organiza-
ton If he has not first declared his in

that about 500 English and Scotch car

The farmers Riddle.

What is it can be taken from land and
leave it better This is the conun-
drum that all farmers have to solve.
Taking water from great deal of farm
ing land improves it, and this is one
answer. But when it comes to crop
ping, then trying to get something from
the land without making it poorer
seems very like the dream of the old
philosophers about getting something
out of nothing. The answer to the rid
season for clover seeding, and is, there
fore, the time for putting and answer
ing this riddle. Sow clover whenever
there is chance; SOW it literally and
not grudgingly. 1t is the farmers only
opportunity of making under all cir
cumstances a clear proit-getting a val
liable crop without leaving his land
poorer thereby.

Apple Orchards as windbreaks.

Since the clearing away Of forests the
sweep of cold winds is much more in
furious than it used to be. Perhaps
the weather is not absolutely colder,
but it is more piercing to men and
stock. The SHOWS are also swept out of
fields where they are wanted, and into
roads where they are only a nuisance.
The apple is a hardy fruit, and many
farmers now are learning to plant their
orchards on the windward side of their
farms, or at least SO as to shelter houses
and barns. The trouble is that with an
unobstructed sweep of wind it passes
under the apple trees, driving snow
and with little diminution of its cold.
To remedy this fence or hedge should
encircle the windward side of the

A Mere Suggestion.

There is whole sermon in the state
ment that a Kansas farmer recently
hauled to town load of 1000 pounds of
corn which he sold for 50. On the corn
rested a pail of twelve pounds of butter,
for which he also received So. The
corn may be accepted as being equal to
the average yield of an acre of land,
and was the return secured for many an
hour of toll by horses and men in plow-
ing, narrowing, planting, cultivating,
harvesting and marketing, extending
over a period of certainly not less than
three months. The land was less fer
it was before-not perceptibly, per-
haps, but not the less certainly so. the
butter was the representative of two
weeks product of good COW. She
would consume in the course of the
year the products of three acres of
grass, or it's equivalent, and in that
time should, and if fairly good cow
would, yield an average of one pound of
butter a day for 270 days in the year.
At the rate of 80 cents per pound she
would bring in the sum of $67. so, and
would in addition have dropped calf
worth something, especially In the
West, where calves are thought to be
worth saving. Much more than that,
the COW will have produced a quantity
of skinned milk and buttermilk thas
will be worth something as food for
those families and those pigs that have
not yet lost their taste for simple.
healthful food. She will also have
added something to instead of having
lessened the fertility of the land. 1t
may be objected that the COW will re-
quire labor in milking, and that it takes
work to make butter; but while this is
to the shame of the inventors true,
it should not be forgotten that the far
mer's wife can be compelled to milk and
make the butter. unless she happens to
be one of that class who will refuse to
give their menfolk chance to toast their
toes in comfort while the women do the
work of the sweet and fresh dairymaid.

Watering Heated Horses.

Most farmers know the danger of
laundering horses by allowing them to
drink unrestrainedly after being
warmed by working or fast driving It
is the sudden chill of cold water on a
heated stomach that does the mischief
Water in spring is chilled from melted
ice long after the air has been warmed
above the freezing point. All through
the summer and until quite late in fall
water is colder than the air. If the
water is warmed up to near the tenn
perature of the animal, it may be drank
without injury. Horses at work have
little time at noon to cool off, and will
eat better after drinkiof water warmed
enough to take the chill off, This can
be given without danger or injury, if
