want you to settle your affairs as speedily as
possible. Mind, Aubrey, they must be set
tled-there must be no deferring, no putting
off; you must have an answer-yes or no
very shortly; and you must not lose an hour
In communicating that answer to me-"
Il hope it will be favorable one" said
Aubrey Langton: but his mind misgave him.
He had an idea that the girl had found him
wanting; he could not forget her first frank
declaration that she did not like him.
IF she refuses me, have L your permission
to tell Miss Darrell the alternative?' he ask
ed of Sir Oswald.
The baronet thought deeply for some min
utes, and then said,-
Yes; it is only fair and just that she
should know it-that she should learn that il
she refuses you she loses all chance Of being
my heiress. But do not say anything of the

The visitors were coming on Tuesday, and
Thursday was the day settled for the ball.
"Al girls like balls" thought Captain
Langton. Pauline is sure to be in a good
temper then, and I will ask her on Thursday
night
But he owned to himself that he would
rather thousand times have faced whole
battalion of enemies than ask Pauline Oar
rell to be his wife.

The Artists Chisel,

Look at the artists chise. The artist
cannot carve without it. Yet imagine the
chisel, conscious that it was made to carve
and that it is its funtion, trying to carve
alone, 1t lays itself against the hard
marble. but it has neither strength nor
skill. Then we can imagine the chisel full
of disappointment. "Why cannot |
carve?" it cries. Then the artist comes
and selzes it. The chisel lays itself into
his hand and is obedient to him. That
obedience is faith. 1t opens the channels
between the sculptor's brain and the hard
steel. Thought, feeling, imagination,
skill, flow down from the deep chambers
of the artists soul to the chisel's edge.
The ulptor and the chisel are not two,
but one. 1t is the unit which they make
that carves the stone.
We are but tie chisel to carve Gods
statues in this world. Unquestionably We
must do the work But the human
worker is only the chisel of the great Art
ist The artist needs his chisel. But the
chisel car do nothing, produce no beauty
of itself. The artist must seize it, and the
chisel must lay itself into his hand and be
obedient to him. We must yield ourselves
together to Christ and let him use US.
Then his power, his wisdom, his skill. his
thought, his love, shall flow through our
soul, our brain, our, heart, our fingers
That is working by faith - Phillips
Brooks.

Imitation virtues never wear well.
1t don't take bit of heroism to be a

Life is thrown away when it is not a life

Patience is the gold we get by going

Those who have will to learn find the
world full of teachers.
The more we do to help others the lighter

The only way to make people happy is
to first make them good.

it to friend you believe in.
What some men lack in courage they try
to make up in noise and buster.
People who blow their own horns do not

Sir Oswald had expressed wish that Au-
brey and Pauline would open the ball; 1t
would give people an idea of what he wish
ed, he thought, and prevent other gentlemen
from turning her head by paying her any
marked attention. Yet he knew how diff
cult it would be for any one TO win Pauline's
regard. She made no objection when he ex-
pressed his wish to her, but she did not look
particularly pleased.
Captain Langton understood the art Of
dancing better perhaps than the art of war;
he was perfect in it-even Pauline avowed
it With him dancing was the very poetry

ever seen Pauline so beautiful before.
'You enjoy this, do you not?" said Aubrey
Langton, as he watched her beautiful face.
Il shall do So" she replied, very much
indeed;" and at what those words implied
the captains courage fell to zero.
He saw how many admiring eyes followed
her; he knew that all the gentlemen in the

SOLD HORSE FLESH.
1t is COrned for Export as Family
Beef

Beef.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The depart
ment OF agriculture announces that the
inspectors on Long Island have unearthed
An abbatoir at Newton Creek, devoted en-
tirely to the slaughter of broken down and
crippled horses. Many of these horses
were diseased and some had CHAMBERS.
Most of the meat was corned and put up
for export as family beef. TIE secretary
of agriculture wired the inspectors al ports
of shipment to stop such ex-
ports Immediately and to notify the
local boards of health. The dealer
learning this changed his label and under
took to ship the stuff abroad as horse
meat under the impression that he could
thus evade the bureau of inspection.
Secretary Rusk, however, did not
propose to permit the intept of the law to
be thus baked and he was advised
today that tire chief inspector at New
York seized the entire lot Of IS tierces and
turned it over to the ofaI dock The
official record in the bureau Of animal in
dustry shows that this nefarious indus
try has been carried on for some time in a
secret fashion. Secretary Rusk determin-
ed to use all the power at his command to
cut stop once and for all to the abonir

Good Advice.

To use this terse and homely phrase, my
friend, let us mind our own business.
There is enough to decide in our lives; let
US be unmindful of the affairs. of others,
except in 80 far as we can be helpful and
of real benefit. Let US be charitable in ali
our conclusions, mindful of the fact that
we so often need the cloak of charity our
selves As we would wish to be judged,
so let US judge o1hers-always with a
kindly spirit, even with a belief in the
better part of self. Strew flower where
others throw stone. Fill your life so full
by some pretty story of womanly kindness.
Make your life "a bright spot in this world
and where you see frown there throw a
smile, and whether it be morn, dusk or
night, let the sunny side of your nature
always be at full meridian.-Selected.

worth twice as much as is the coarse ground
bone.
What hosts Of dry cows, or nearly dry,
will be wintered at great expense because
they are not bred right to give milk ten
months out OF twelve.
Barn cellars are much warmer if proper
ly provided with doors in front. 1t is
better to build them in two sections, so
that the top half can be opened sepa-

1t pays to have a garden, a small fruit

Mixing Fertilizers.

The manure of thirty fowls in one year,
mixed with four times its bulk Of swamp
muck, is more valuable than three hundred
rounds of guano. The advantage of this
method of mixing is that the work is done
easily and effectualy. If the droppings
are suffered to accumulate, they become
hard and compact. If applied to land
without mixture with other substance,
they burn and kill plants, and also pre-
vent seeds from terminating. Besides,
the compost crumbles readily, is easily
mixed with the soil, or applied in the
drills before planting. This fertilizer is
very quickly assimilated py growing
plants Its influence begins Immediate
