Instinctively Miss Wentworth seemed to
divine his intention. Her pale face, neck,
aud ears turned pink with indignation. She
looked at him for a moment, then bent over
her sketch again. and piled her pencil hur-
riedly and carelessly.
Will did not beg her pardon. He con-
sidered her very foolish child, and de-
cided that:
"Miss Wentworth must be treated as a

It was evident to Tryfoil that his pupil
was laboring under slight depression of
spirits. He, therefore, suggested to Miss
Bentley that the lesson should be post
poned; but that lady left the matter to her
niece, who decided to go on as usual.
Ada began BY begging Will to allow her
to do faces, for which she said she had
acquired some aptitude.
Considering her slight depression he
gave her her own way, selecting from his
portfolio the head of Spanish woman.

held the pencil trembled violently, though
it still hurried over the paper and copied
the woman's head correctly; also that the
hand on the drawing paper was tightly
clinched.
He was uncertain as to what he had bet

There are about 1900 medical students
in New York this year. Students are to
be found from all parts of the world.
Turkey, Russia, South America, Asia,
and even Germany, famous for its med
ical universities, all are represented in
the classes. The student from the coun-
try is generally an honest fellow and a
hard worker. Perhaps he has been saw
ing his earnings for years in order to
study his adopted profession. He cal
cula.es his expenses closely.
There are hundreds Of such students
in the city, and the manner in which they
live would do credit to a Cinnamon.
The necessary expenses for graduation
at any Of the large colleges amounts to
about $3.50. They may be itcmizcd as
follows: Naturalization two years., $40;
lecture tickets ia all branches {two years.,
$3.50; practical anatomy ticket, $40;
graduation fee, $50; total. $3.50. With
this money they COME to New York to
gain diploma.
Having Arrived in this city several Of
them club together and rent cheap
room Sometimes three or four can be
found occupying the same apartments.
They thcu divide living expenses, and
and thus are enabled to live on an in
crcdibly small sum per capita. The

room on Second avenue, whose com
bined living expenses do not exceed
$500 college term. This amounts to
about $15G for each man. Assuming
their statements to BIO true, it will not
cost any OF them more than 500 to OBJ

parcels is sold in every small town. The
soap wort, Saponaria officinalis. common
in this country is known as "Bouncing
Bet" This was used in Europe in wash
ing as substitute for soap, and in hard
waters was preferred to it. The number
of plants that may be used as a substi-
tute for soap is quite large; the most i'm
portant Of which is the soap bark tree
of Chill, where it is called ssQuillai, or
"Cullai." The native name has been
taken fer the botanical name of the tree,
which is Quillaja Saponaria. The genus
Quillaja belongs to the Rose family, and
five species are known, all South Ameri-
can; three are Chilian, one Peruvian,
and one Brazilian, the most important
being the @. Saponaria of Chill, as its
bark is largely used in its own country,
and forms considerable article Of ex-
port. This is large tree fifty to sixty
feet high, with evergreen leaves, and
usually small white flowers. Its bark,
which is rough without, internally con-
sists of light colored layers, which con-
tain an abundance of saponine, which
they readily impart to water, causing it
to lather in a similar manner to soap.
The bark isin general use in Chill on
washing day, and is exported to other
countries It is to be found in our city
drug stores, where 1T is in demand by
those who wish to use it for cleansing
silk materials. It is said to remove
grease and other spots, and to impart a
remarkable luster to wooden goods, and il
used as wash for cleansing the hair.

but with light breeze it would be use
less, while a larger size would do the de-
sired work. Small windmills, small
churns and small stoves are often the
dearest, though costing less money than
large sizes.
Feed all the egg shells with the other
table and kitchen scraps, and when the
hens exhibit more desire for them than
for the other scraps accept this as GER
tain evidence that the shell food is de-
ficient either in quantity or quality. The
theory that feeding the shells is injurious
or leads to vicious habits is false. They
are the best quality of shell food SO far
as they go, but it requires great many
of them to supply the necessities of the
flock, and they should be supplemented
with something else till all craving for
that special kind of food is satisfied
In butter, says the Ploughman, there
is one great essential thing to be consid-
cred always, and that is, perfect cleanli-
ness. The cows must be clean, their
home wholesome and the hands of the
mixers perfectly clean, and from the
moment it leaves the cow untilit is CON
sumed as butter, it should be carefully
kept apart from anything that could con-
taminate it, including the smoke from
the .goodman's pipe" If the COW gives
anything like good milk, if this is care
fully observed, the butter will sell well,
and there will be demand in excess Of
the supply. The churning should be
performed regularly, and at perfectly
even temperature The butter should
not be worked with, the hands, and in no
way subject to contamination.
Cutting tree down is quick and in
expensive way of disposing oft, says the
Culticator OF course the stump is left,
but if sprouts are burned off next July
or August, it will not sprout again to do
any hurt, and will in time rot out. Who
ever tries grubbing out trees as a means
of clearing land will tire of it. There
are places where it will pay to remove a
few and have valuable land at once
available for other uses. But ordinary
farm crops will not pay the expense. 1t
is poor little tree that does not require
three feet square to be grubbed over to
get it out by thereof. This is just one
square yard. II it could be done for three
cents it would make the land thus OBJ
tanned cost 5000 per acre. Some calcu-
lation of this kind is apt to come over a
man when he has been working whole
day to grub out tree. The next one he
tackles will be cut down in the old
fashioned way, and leave time to do the
grubbing.

A Kansas correspondent writing TO

prohibition prohibits more and
more as the years pass. It IS safe to
say that the law is enforced about as
thoroughly as any Of the criminal
statutes, and is likely to be unchanged
for all coming time Multitudes who
drink, and who evade the law when
possible, to get Intoxicating liquors,
are friendly to it for the sake Of their
families
A few days since I was approached
by a hard-drinking Catholic neighbOr
who told me that a druggist of the
