Speak" he screamed, will you take
the oath?''
A thousand thoughts whirled through
Arundel's brain.
No, not even to a mailman would he
perjure himself.
Your life hangs on your answer!
Speak, Damiens roared, as he stood
lines in hand tagging the mouths of the
fretful horses.
To the right of him was the steep de-
clivity of the bank; to the left, the
river more than a mile wide, and now q
plain of snow and ice, peaks of ice,
rough and ragged as when the mighty
stream with grinding fury piled them
in the fall.
Towards this road to certain death
Damiens had turned the heads of the
plunging horses.
''Win you not speak?' he Kissed.
''Then God have mercy on your soul!'
His whip was poised in the air for 4
moment, and the next he brought it
down on the TANKS of the Infatuated
animals.
Thrice the cruel blows fell.
Then, with the Shrek Of a maniac, he
flung the reinS across their backs.
Even above the roar of the storm and
the crash of the cutter against the
blocks of ice, George Arundel could
hear his wild peals of laughter.

KEEPING POTATOES.

How to Preserve Them In Edible Cea<fhe
ton for q Long Time
The difficulty of keeping Irish pstar
toes in edible condition after March
is well known to south ern house,
keepers. farmers and merch ants Prof.
Schib aux, of the national college of
agriculture of France, has recently de-
vised a very simple, cheap and success
full method by which he has been able
to preserve potatoes in edib condition
for over a year and half. This proc~
ess has been adopted by the French
government for preserving potatoes for
the army. The French minister of
agriculture publishes the details Of the
process of the official Bulletin du Min
istere de l. Agriculture for March, 1891.
The following is a translation of the
essential part of the scheme:

stroy their sprouting power it does
not have any appreciable effect upon
the skin of the potatoes.

suits.

tritious and healthful after eighteen
months as when freshly dug.

in regard to the supposed advantage of
keeping COWS in the stable all winter

and which is one of their instructive en-

not properly eliminated and are thus
retained to be got rid of through the

WHAT THE CHILDREN SAW.


Wanda rose early. There was not
much inducement to do SO at this un-
pleasant season; but the riverside folks
were early risers, beginning the days
business at an hour within city people
were enjoying their best sleep, and she
had fallen into their ways.
So, by seven o'clock, the greasy beef.
steak and muddy coffee had been dis
posed of, and Mr.. Dolman, who always
conducted divine service in his family
in a way peculiarly his own, had in
formed the Almighty with revolving
familiarity where He should extend His
blessings that day, and she was ready
for the usual routine of duty.
1t was not quite light enough to read,
and the Dolmans were parsimonious as
regarded lamps, SO she essayed to amuse
herself by watching a crowd of urchins
playing in the street. There was not
much real daylight yet, but the storm
was over, and the deep snow lay white
and unfurried on the sidewalk.
Presently she noticed that the chill
dren stopped their play and gathered

It Is popular fallacy that when the
house of representatives elects a speaker
and other officers that great parliament
anybody is ready to transact the public
business. On the contrary, according
to custom in all legislative bodies. no
business can be transacted without the
reference of all legislative matters to
committees and subcommittee desig-
mated to investigate and report upon
each matter for the consideration Of
the house. Consequently until the
speaker has had time to construct the
committees and announce the appoint
ments the wheels of legislation are per-
petually blocked. No appropriation Of
money for public use can be made until
specific bill has been introduced
and referred to the committee on ap-
preparations and from that committee

AMONG THE POULTRY.

WHEN hens are kept only for eggs no
rooster is needed.
PULLETs and wo-year-old hens are
the most profitable.
For a cold climate a breed with a
small comb will be found best
In marketing, eggs should be clean
and fowls well fattened and dressed
FEEDING on barley meal ten days be-
fore killing will give a delicacy to the
Fl esh.
Two BY four-inch scantlings placed
two feet from the ground or floor make
perches.
A BREED generally has only one DOM
inant talent and seldom excels in more
than one characteristic.
By keeping fowls through the winter
in good condition their usefulness in
the spring is greatly increased.
After killing goose. dip it in scald-
ing water and then wrap it in a cloth
and leave it for five minutes. All the
pin-feathers will then come off readily.
CLEAN, dry sand scattered over the
floor of the broods is one of the best
means of keeping clean When sand
cannot be had, wheat bran can be used
By scattering some of the grain
among the litter it keeps the hens at
work, gives them a better appetite and
keeps them in a better condition for
laying.
KEEP the fowls in dry. warm place,
free from draughts, and there viii be
little, if any, danger of roup; damp
ness and draughts are the cause of this
disease.
ANY number of pigeons can be kept
they are not crowded too close and the
sexes are kept equal, SO they viii not
quarrel
JUST before the early pullets begin
to lay their combs Will swell and turn
red and will keep red until they be-
come broody. This Is an aid in making
selections
THERE is no particular breed that
lays eggs of uniform color. By select
ing dark eggs for Matching it is posi-
bic that uniformity of color may finally
be produced
POULTRY raising as an exclusive
business has only in exceptional cases
proved a success; the principal de-
pendence for both eggs and poultry Is
upon the farmer.
LITTLE care in dressing and pack
ing poultry for market will in many
cases add considerably to the price real
lied, and the advance in price will be

WANDAs FIRST OFFER
How glad George Arundel was to
meet her. and she gave him both her
hands. while her face beamed with joy
TO welcome him. There was no fear of
this generous friend annoying her by
pleading his suit, though she knew that
he loved her very dearly. Women like
to be loved. I would not give fig for
the woman who does not, and who can
not spare little bit of tenderness for
the man whose devotion pleases her,
and yet be loyal to him who is king Of
her affections.
So Wanda Arlington exerted her best
efforts to make it pleasant for her blind
friend, who was in q seventh heaven of
delight. She had such tact, too, as AL
phOnse Damiens noticed with glowing
eyes. George Arundefs wishes were
anticipated before he could express
them. She fitted round his chair with
a tender solicitude which was madden
ing to the young Frenchman, and alto
gether conducted herself in such a way
that Il hell of jealousy was raging in
his heart, though pleasant words tripped
from his smiling lips.
Outside storm was gathering. The
