you want to learn?"
20, yes, ma am only try me, "said Joe,
pitifully.
sVers well-I will see. You have no
friends. Nobody in the whole world?"
no"
sYou are not deceiving me?"
Il do not tell stories," said Joe, sob
bling.
She was weak, tired to death.
"This poorhouse-where is 1t? You
call it how?"
GAINESVILLE.
sWhy, child, that is a long way

pupils from there. GAINESVILLE, child,
that is sixty miles or more from here"
Il am telling the truth"
81 believe you, child What q shame.
No father. no mother-nobody in the
wide world What pity. Very well;
will try You"
She looked at Joe critically now. The
examination pleased her. The look OF
despair on poor Joe's face made madame
fast friend.
What was that bag you had?"
Joe blushed fiery red now before the
fire. Madame looked sharply at her.
THAT? That's my banjo-and cor
dion"
~Banjo Accordion. How? You know
how to play them?"
"A man in the poorhouse showed me q
little. He's dead"
Madame smiled at the connection.
@Well-it won't kill me TO teach you
how to comb and put up your hair. How
came you by these things?"
They re mine-he gave them to me-
When | ran away | went to my room
and brought them along"
Madame looked at her in wonder.
"This Shild has spirit"
After a silence she called to the maid
TO bring in the instruments.
"Now play for me, she said.
Joe played the banjo with little spirit,
but Madame smiled.
There is melody there; yes. Now,
the other"
When Joe began to play the wheezy
accordion madame put her fingers over
her shelllike ears.
NO, no. Stop child"
Then when Joe's modification was
betrayed in tears:
TT is not the execution, child. 1t is
the horrid instrument Come. l shall
make something OF you"
"Will you let me stay here?" said Joe
"Certainly, if you are good child and
obey me; but you must obey me, and l
will consult Monsieur Dufaur.
Monsieur Dufaur at that moment
opened the door.
"Ah, Who have we here?"
Madame spoke to him in low tone.

"You must be the Judge" And Mon

That same evening. when he had leis-
ure, he had Joe bring up her banjo and
accordion, and listened to her with a
grave face.
"She has talent" he said to his wife
in French.
"Was it not fortunate | found the poor
child at our door," his wife asked
They were childless, and both loved
children.
1--WE shall see," said Monsieur Dufaur,
who, as may be observed, very seldom
committed himself.

Cuban Honey iiellsx

From the news which comes to us
from Cuba. it is wonderful honey coun-
try. The flow begins in December and lasts
until May, and does not entirely cease at
any season of the year. The honey pro-
duccd is mainly extracted, of good
quality, for southern honey, and sells at
80 to 20 cents per gallon in New York
city. The yields reported are some of
them very large, as much as $50 to 200
pounds per colony, from apiaries ranging
from 400 to 800 colonies. -RtuGL Homes

THE DAIRY.
The Cow as a Machine,

Cows have frequently been compared
to machines in years past, but just now
a number OF dairy writers are protesting
against this comparison. This illus
tratcS very forcibly the soundncss of
which we said few weeks since about
the trouble that is often caused by a half
truth. The COW is a machine; that is,
there are many points of similarity be-
tween these specimens of animate and in
animate creation. The COW, like the
machine, takes certain raw materials and
transforms them into a finished product;
which in both cases, is dependent largely
upon the amount and quality Of the raw
material. Other points OF similarity
could be noted and it is therefore correct
to say, speaking metaphorically, that
the COW is machine. But the SINH
larity will not hold when carried to all
the characteristics of each. For in
stance, the machine has not the nervous
temperament of the living organism.
which must be kept in mind in caring
for the COW. But how utterly ridiculous
and foolish it is, unless one is writing to
fill space. To occupy column in the at
tempt, therefore, to prove that the COW
is not a machine. Both sides are right
so far as they go: each side resting on a
partial truth.
One writer, who recently tried to ar
que that the COW is not machine was
doubly foolish and nonscnScal because
he rested his arguments on the statement
that, "A machine may be pounded with
a hammer, kept out in Storm and cold,
and be neglected" but said he, ''let any
of these evils come upon COW and de-
creased flow of milk follows The
idea that machine san thus be NAL
treated and exposed is too absurd to
need refutatiOn. Many delicate ma
chimes if subjected to neglect, the OXldiZ-
ing OF the elements, or rough, heavy
blows would suffer almost as much as
the nervous temperament of the COW.

There was black and white striped
dress crowned with q basket work hat
trimmed with powder blue velvet,
which accorded wonderfully with the
yellow hair it rested upon. There was
a white serge that was closely spotted
with mauve, and dark blue serge with
full blouse and sleeves of that univer-

was a fnc white flannel trimmed with
