How to Make Lambs Grow.

Ground oats, placed in a pen where
the lambs can feed at a trough which
the sheep cannot reach, with a liberal
supply of milk from the ewes, will
make lambs grow rapidly, and If they
gain as they should they will reach the
market a month ooner than ii they de-
pended on the ewes alone, and as this
gain in time is an important point to
keep in view for the high prices, every
inducement should be made to keep the
lambs feeding and growing, but the
gain will not be rapid unless the lambs
are well bred, nor will grades equal the
pure breeds. The heaviest gains made
have been with Oxfords and Shrop.

SHOOTING AN ALLIGATOR.
Tho Rare Sport Found In Staying the
SaurianS.

SaurIanS.
The oars were stopped, resting in the
water; the skiff half turned, drifting in
the sluggish tide; the long beam of the
lantern, with its oval disk of dim light
resting far out on the surface, swept
slowly around over the waters looking
for the two lost lights. Ten minutes
or more thus passed, and suddenly the
two lost sparks cleaned back in a new
direction. A gentle, n%oiseless push on
the port a headed the skiif toward
them again. 'Doucement!" whispered
Paul. His associate, still more gently,
guided the boat to the left, till only
one light shone from the obscure OBJ
ject in the water. This showed that
he had got on its side, as was desired,
because a forward shot always glances.
Cautiously the silent oarsman again
turned his craft to the right. Paul
raised his long rifle ready to fire. The
disk of the lantern on the water, con-
tracing gradually, grew proportion
ately more brilliant. As it contracted
the solitary light shining back on the
water from it's center became larger
and brighter, till at last the eye of the
great saurian glittered as if he had the
'koh-i-noor' itself in his head. Slow
ly, silently, nearer the boat moved, till
within ten yards of the reptile. The
glow of the lantern flashed along the
barrel of the rifle for q few secondsi
then came the ringing report. The
light on the water instantly went out,
and the glow of the lantern, now
shining in u circle only a fey feet in
diameter over the place where it disap-
peared, showed only a few foamy bub-
bles and little whirlpools. Thirty sec

SHE SPED THROUGH THE NIGHT AND THE STORM.

"But how will you do it," asked her
mother.
81 will mount Charles Rigney's horse
which stands without, and ride forth
to meet Maj. Wayland and warn him."
but, Rachel"
II am a patriots daughter, mother,
and it is to save a noble patriot that l
go. So fear not for me-"
Wrapping herself in mantle and
nubia, Rachel Ewing kissed her moth
er, then descended the ladder, and let
herself out at a small back window at
a remote quarter from the kitchen.
The darkness of night %enwrapped
the bluff, rs Rachel sped around the
cabin to where Rigney had hitched his
horse.
, The horse vas one CT the best in the
country, and she knew if she could get
a fair start she could defy all pursuers.
Unhitching the animal from the fod-
der rack, she vaulted into the saddle,
and rode away down the woody road.
The storm had not abated much, and
the cold wind of that winter night
made her shiver and draw her mantle
I closer about her. But she rode on, I'M
daunted by snow and wind, and reso-
lutte in her purpose to meet and warn
Maj. Robert Wayland.
Reaching the foot of the bluff, she
took a straight road leading to Grand
pa Wayland's place, the way by which
Robe would be sure to come.
She had gone but a half mile, when
the steady stroke OF horses feet strik-
ing the hard, frozen road behind her
told that her flight had undiscovered
and pursuers were IN her track.
Like a frightened bird she sped along
through the night and storm, the noble
horse of the a whom she was out
whiting never once offering to turn
back or slacken his swift pace.
The sounds of her pursuers now
reached her more distinctly, and, de-
spite the speed at which her horse was
going, she began to fear they were
gaining on her.
Three miles passed by in that wild
ride and Rachel realized that her pur-
sucrs were indeed gaining ground.
Did fate decree that they should
overtake her? Must the mar she loved
fall into the net SO artfully spread to
catch him?
Never" she cried to herself, and,
u%nheeding the numbness of her chilled
hands, the fearless girl urged her horse
forward.
She had just crossed the little ford of
the stream that wound across her path,
when a horseman, coming rapidly from
an opposite direction, refined in before
her, grasping her bride rein in a firm
hold.
She believed, in her sudden terror,
that it was one of Rigney's allies sta
toned there, who had stopped her.
She was about yielding to despair when
a familiar voice called:
who goes there?"
"Oh, Maj Wayland"
"Rachel!'
In another moment the cold little
hanos were in his warm ones, and he
was listening to a rapid account of her
brave mission.
They were loon riding on 10 Grand
pa Wayland's, where two American
troopers had just arrived with IA mes
sage from Gen. Washington for the
young major.

The art of identifying the complex.

The women of gray antiquity knew
how to give their cheeks the rosy hue
which nature had denied them. In

The custom of painting the face was
brought to Gaul and Germany by the
Romans. A few centuries later one

market.
In modern times France has been the
great manufacturer and consumer of

Robert Wayland, an officer in the
colonial service with Washington, was
a handsome young man, gentle, manly
and possessing many excellent quail

he was very young and he had been
raised and educated by his grand

Suddenly four horsemen galloped
through the falling snow and drew
rein before the little rack of fodder
where the COW was feeding.
1t needed no one to tell Rachel Ewing
and her mother that they were British
soldiers.
l%Iitching their horses where they
would be as little exposed to the storm
as possible, the British troopers strobe
boldly into the cabin and up to the
pleasant fireplace where a log burned
cheerfully.
They were coarse-faced men, and
their evident disrespect caused Mrs.
Ewing and her daughter to shrink
away in apprehension and loathing.

Only too glad to leave the hatefu
