THE COMING WAVE.

Dipper Bay was q little inlet, almost
land-locked, in which the water was deep
enough to float his sloop at this time of
tide, and it's high, rocky shores would sf-
ford him perfect protection from the
fury of any squat, or even hurricane.
But Leopold felt that his chances of
reaching this secure haven were but
small, for the breeze was very light.
The sloop "Rosabel" was but short
distance from the shore when the wind
entirely subsidized, and the long rollers
were as smooth as glass. The lightning
glared with fearful intensity, and the
thunder doomed like the convulsions OF
an earthquake. By this time Rosabel (for
whom the sloop had been named), who
had before enjoyed the sublimity of the
coming storm, now began to realize its
terrore, and to watch the handsome boat
man with the deepest anxiety. The sails
tapped idly in the motionless air, and
Dipper Bay was still half mile distant.
Don't be alarmed, Miss Hamilton -
said Leopold. "If the squall will keep
off only few moments, we shall be in a
safe place"
The skipper evidently "meant bust
ness;" and shipping the long oars, he
worked with zeal which seemed to prom
ise happy results, and Rosabel began to
feel little re-assured. But the sloop
was too large, and too broad on the beam,
to be easily rowed, and her progress WIS
necessarily very slow.
"Can't help you, Leopold" asked
the maiden, when she saw what tremen
dous effort the b altman was making.
"You may take the tiller, and steer for
Dip Point, if you please" replied Leo
pold, knowing that his beautiful passen-
ger would be better satisfied if she could
feel that she wss doing something.
Leopold piled his oar with all the vigor
of a manly frame, intent upon reaching
the little bay, where the high rocks would
shelter his craft from the fury of the
storm. Then breeze of wind came, and
he resumed his place at the tiller. He
had almost reached the haven when he
saw coming down over the waters most
terrific squat. Before he could haul
down his msinsail, the tempest struck
the "Rosabel." He placed his fair charge
In the bottom Of the boat, which the saw

FILLING AND TAKING CARE OF
A FERNERY,

A FERNERY,
Before putting any earth in the pan to
contain ferne, procure some charcoal,
break it up in pieces as large as walnut,
place in the bottom of the pan and cover
with earth; the charcoal will keep the
soil sweet and act as drainage. The best
soil for fernery is found in the woods
under trees, and is composed of leaf
mold and decayed vegetable matter, is
black and spongy, on account of the
soil, in many shady places, and these
are the best plants for ferneIy, and
can be taken up without disturbing
their roots much. The partridge berry.
MitchellG repens, is most desirable
plant in fernery on account OF its creep
ing habit. 1t covers the ground with it's
rich green leaves, and its bright red ber-
ries are very ornamental. Get a few
roots of it by all means Large growing
ferns should be avoided. The maiden
hair is the best, and this, with one or two
roots of the ordinary kind, found in most
woods. and half dozen roots Of the
Mitchells, will be quite enough to fill
your fernery. You must not expect it to
look to suit you at first. Give it time to
develop, and do not attempt to make it
appear like an old fernery at the outset
by crowding in large plants. The leaves
Of these Will almost always die, and you
will have to wait for new fronds to grow;
small plants are best.
Cover the soil, which should be slightly
heaped up in the center, with moss and
then water. Put on the cover, and wait
for further developments. Very soon
tiny tronds, curled up In cunning way,
will peep through the moss, gradually
they will unrol, and soon you will have
beautiful fern leavee, which will speedily
be followed by others, until your fernery
is filed with beauty. Never allow it to
become crowded. II there is any dsnger
OF this cut out some OF the older leaves.
As soon as one turns yellow, remove it at
once. You will not need to give it water
ottener than once month If the glass
fits moderately tight. The moisture from
the soil will be condensed on the glass
and returned to it. Always examine the
soil carefully before watering. II it is
not quite moist and damp give more
wster;it it is, do not. BY no means give
enough TO make the earth muddy. for
that will oe "too much of good thing
1t there should be so great an accumuls-
ton Of moisture on the glass as to OBJ.
scure the view, raise the cover a trihe
and let it evaporate. 1t is not necessary
to give the plants any direct sunshine.
Their needs are-suffieient water to keep
the air in which they grow moist, a cool
window rather than warm one, and the
removal OF all decaying matter. Attend
10 these things and you can have beau
tiful ferns Their care is very simple, and
yet many persons think it almost impos-
sible for an amateur to succeed with one.
A trial would convince them OF their mis-
take-Mrs. Gable.

CATHOLIC PILGRIMAGE TO IONA

CATHOLIC PILGRIMAGE TOIONA.
A quaint excursion pilgrimage, con-
sistiug OF six huDgred Roman Catholic
monks, priests, bishops and archbishops
landed on the ancient island of Iona, on
the west of Scotland, few weeks ago to
celebrate the beginnings of Christianity
upon the Island. High mass was cele-
brsfed within the ruins of the old cathe-
dral, "the cradle of Christianity in Great
Britain" as early as the third century it
is claimed, Saint Colum-kille erected the
cross here. To-day there is not single
Roman Catholic resident upon the island
it is claimed, and many of the stern Scotch
Presbyterians were grieved by the visit
And still, did not this robed procession
represent something which the Protest
ants might well covet? Can Christianity
stand for its maximum with the copnota-
ton of the Roman Catholic church left
out? That remote little island may typify
many another attempt to find pure Chris
tianity that has resulted in cold Christi
snity, or at least in something fractional,
wanting the warmth, the poetry, the en-
thusiasm, the inclusiveness of that splen-
did stream of tendencies which has poured
through the centuries, and for which
Rome is still, more than any other one
city, the fountain head and capital city.

oh, there are moments in mans mortal years.
When for an instant that which long has lain
Beyond our reach, is on a sudden found
In things of smallest compass, and we hold
The unbounded shut in one small minute

And worlds within the hollow of our hand;
world of music in one word of love,
A world of love in one quick wordless look,
A world of thought in one translucent phrase
A world of memory in one mournful chord,
world of sorrow in one little song.

The three Graces have not grown
equally in the course of Christian history
Faith is at least head and shoulders
taller than Hope or Charity. Their
growth has been checked by the restric-
lions of Christian theology. But now the
element of hope-both hope in God and
hope in man seems to be growing in
Ohristendom, and we trust that nothing
further will check its progress. Accord
ing to Paul. however, Charity should be
the greatest of the tbres sisters.

rolled up together and put away until
they are wanted at some future tine.
They may be used In variety of ways.
They may be sewn together again and
worn under a jersey, or they can be
cut down for the children to wear, and
then they will always furnish odd pieces
for general repairing. 1t is always well
to look over condemned garments and
cut out all pieces in good condition.

FARM NOTES.

DIFFICULTIES IN WHY
SOME BUTTER is SO BAD.-Regarding
the skimming of the milk and the pre-
paration of the cream before churning,
it may be stated that nearly all the
mistakes are made before the churning
begins. This subject is an important
one to those who keep only one or two
COWS, and Is prompted by the following
from lady in Delaware:
In skimming the cream to put away
for the churning should any milk he
taken with it, and If not what Is done
in case there Is not sufficient cream at
the end of the week to churn? l find
that the milk lift with the cream
turns to sour water, and should sup
pose 1t would affect the butter. In
case the milk is too cold for the butter
to come what can be done to bring 1t
up besides keeping it for some time
where 1t Is warmp / mean when it
won't ''break" from cold. What can
be done to bring butter immediately
1t is almost an impOssibility to skim
OF the cream without taking away
some Of the milk, but the difficulty is
due, as rule. to the keeping of the
cream until enough can be secured for
churnlng. If large number of
cows are kept this difficulty is avoided.

tanned In order to secure sufficient
quantity the difference in the age and
stage of rIpening compared with that
which is gathered later is sometimes
great enough to cause the butter to be
slightly bitter. The sooner the cream
is taken off the milk, and TIE sooner
1t is churned after being gathered, the
better. 1t is well enough to develop a
slight acidity in the cream, bnt 1t
should not be very sour. Experienced
dairymen recommend that the tempera-
ture of the cream be raised to 70
degrees as soon as skinned, stirring it
down to 62 degrees and churnlng at the
first stages of acidity. 1t Is best to
skim off the cream as soon as 1t can be
done instead of waiting for every por-
tiOn Of 1t to rise.
