A Candid Confession.

The long light from the antique can
delabra streamed through the parting
in the crimson plush arras, and fiecked
with shimmering splashes the golden
tresses of Maud McCarty as they fell
in all their dreamy luxuriance against
the murky, somber blackness of Owen
Fergusons coat lapel. And as she
nestled there, rejecting in her azure
orbs the quivering' Ieaping fismes that
played about the soft coaltfre, and
listened to the fairy-like harmonies of
the ashes tinkling in the brazen CRATE,
and the half-inaudible ticking OF
Ovens Waterbury watch, she MUIR
INJURED: Before you make me your
own, dearest, | must confess some
thing that may rive your heart and
cause you to forsake me even as Thes-
Gus forsook Ariadne" The young
man gently pressed his mustache
against her upper maxillary, and hold
ing her closer whispered encouraging
ly: Doubt me not love; nothing can
now sever our hearts; what is this
dread secret?" The sweet face looked
pleadingly into his; the rich cherry
lips parted, revealing two rows of
pearIy teeth whose interstices here
and there disclosed nuggets of virgin
gold. Then like the signing of sum-
mer breeze through Eolian harps, or
the faint echo of horn, or the dreamy
cadence emitted by a stout man after
d rich supper, came the tremulous ac-
cent of Maud McCarty: My hustle
is made of newspapers" A convul-
sive sob shook her perfect form, and
she buried her face in his unlaUndricd

THE HOME AND FlRESIDE.
UNCERTAINTIES.
MARY PRoBYN IN MACMILLAN S MAGAZINE.

Pink linen bonnet
Pink cotton gown,
Roses printed on it.
Hands burnt brown.
OH blithe all the piping birds, and the gold
belted bees,
And bithe iDg she as on the doorstep, with her
apron full OF peas.
Sound of scythe and moving,
Where buttercups grow tall;
Sound of red kline lowing,
And early mtlkmaid's call.
Sweet she sang on the doorstep with the young
peas in her lap,
And he came whistliDg up the lane, with the rib
bons in his cap.
You called me bad penny
That wouldn't be sent away
BIthere's goodbye to You, Jenny
For many and many day.
There's talk of cannon and killing
Nay. never turn SO white!
And I've taken the kings shilling
ltookit last night.
Oh? merry merry piped the thrushes up il the
cherry tree,
But dumb she sat on the doorstep, and out
through the gate went he
Scent Of hay and summer;
Red evening sky:
Noise Of fife and drummer;
Men marching by.
Inc hay v III be carried presently, AMI the cher
ries gathered all,
And the corn stand yellow IN the shocks, and the
leaves begin to fall.
Perhaps some evening otter,
The lads will cease their laughter
And the maids their chatter hush;
And word or blood and battle
VIII mix with the sound OF the fail,
And lowing of the cattle
And clink Of the milking pail;
And one will read half fearful,
A list of names aloud,
And a few will Stagger, fearful
Out of the little crowd.
And she, perhaps half doubling,
Half ing why she came
Will stand among them pouting,
And hear, perhaps, his name
VIII weep, perhaps, a little, as she wanders
up the lane,
and wish one summer morning were all to do

Eskimo Women.
American Magazine.

The appearance of these Eskimos is
suggestive of patience and perseverance.
They are short and squat of figure, the
men averaging five feet three inches, and
the women five feet in height. Their
breadth is apt to vary, according to
whether the fates have sent them plenty
of seal or not. Their eyes and hair are
of the very blacklist, the latter being as
straight and not less coarse than horse
hair. A favorite amusement among the
women is for two of them to select hair
out of their heads, and looping one
through the other, to pull on the ends
held in their hands until one of the hairs
gives way, to the vast delight of the fat
little lady whose capillary strength wis
in the odd tug -ofwar.

Dairy Expense.

Dairy Expense.
When farmer keeps q herd OF COWS
for the milk they will produce for the
cheese factory, or cream for the cream
cry, or butter for his own manufacture,
he is dairyman and must admit he is
subiecting himself to dairy expense.
What is that expense? Building barns
and sheds to comfortably house those
COWS. Working all summer to grow the
hay and grain to feed them. Being
obliged to keep extra help in the house
ana on the farm, on account of the dairy.
All this and much more he must subject
himself to, because he keeps a dairy.
Now calves, and steers, and old COWS sold
for beef will not pay for this direct ex-
pense of producing the milk. That is
another department, and has expenses
all its own.
Fully 80 per cent. of the expense of
running dairy IS TO be charged to the
mild product.
Fully 80 per cent. OF the purpose of
cow, in eight years service, is for milk
alone.
These are the reasons in the main why
dairy farmer should select a COW, breed
a COW, feed COW, and care for COW
from the specific standpoint. It amounts
to clear waste of his help, fodder and
time, in other words, waste of the dairy
expense to keep any other than COW
that will give him the largest returns
possible from the 80 per cent. side of her
nature. It is just for this reason that
these general purpose" COWS are such
failures for the dairy. They have poor
mothers to start with and these mothers
were bred to beef sires in order TO get
more size and weight and thus increase
the general purpose Or ten per cent, side
of the business. But all the time the
dairy expense is as great as if they were
specific purpose cows
word as to where this reasoning APP
plies. In our opinion it applies as well
IL Iowa, Minnesota or Dakota as in Wis
consin, anywhere indeed where a farmer
keeps dairy of cows for the purpose of
making any monsy from their milk pro-
duct, and puts himself to expense for
that purpose. The question of cost of
food or help affects only the question of
grass return. The question Of profit will
depend very largely, no matter where the
work is done, on the kind OF COW that
all this expense is Iavished on, and wheth-
or the owner is man wise enough for
the place.

Brave Rescue by a Dog.
London TineI


It is only within the last few DAYS that
particulars have been published in the
Swiss papers of brave rescue effected
on Mount st. Bernard on the night of the
last Sunday in November. While a VIC.
lent snowstorm was IN progress, Grand,
the manager of the hosp1ce, noticed that
his own special dog, that was alone with
him Ia his own room, became very rest
less and made signs to him to go out. He
took the lantern and fog-horn and went
out on the mountain, the dog leading him.
In very short time he heard call and
grooming, and helped by the dog, dug
out of the snow ai1 italian, whom he car
ried on his back to the hospice. The
rescued man stated that his father, two
brothers, and another italian, all journey
ing home with him over the pass, lay
buried in the snow. He had pushed on
to obtain help, but had been overpower-
ed by the Storm Grand made ready and
went out again. This second search was
more tedious and led him further away,
but at last barking of the dog announc
ed discovery. 1t was the Italian strang-
er who was now saved and carried up to the
hospice. A third time Grand and his dog
sailed out into the tempest, and after q
quarter of an hours search found the
others, near where the second man had
been discovered. They were bur
ried under the snow and almost insensible
He took the most feeble one on his
shoulders, and with difficulty conducted
the others to the hospice. It was now
past midnight, and this toilsome task had
occupied Grand over four hours in the
binding snowstorn.
