and then Sir Vaue tried TO recover himself
What had happened to him? WHIT strange,
magic influence was upon him? Ten minutes
since he had entered that room heart-whole,
fancy-free, with laughter on his lips. and no
thought of coming fate. Ten minutes had
worked wonders of change; he was stand
ing now in a kind of trance, looking into the
grand depths Of those dark eyes wherein he
had lost himself.
They said but few words; the calm and ST.
lence that fell over them during that first in
terval was not to be broken; it was more
eloquent than words. He sat down by her
side; she still held the book open in her
hands. He glanced at it.
Elaine. lie said ''do you like that story?"
She told him, Yes" and, taking the
book from her hands, he read the noble words
wherein Sir Lancelot tells the Lily Maid how
he will dover her when she weds some
worthy knight. but that he can do no more
for her.
Was it dream that she should sit there
listening TO those words from his lips-she
had fanced him Sir LancelOt without stain,
and herself Elaine? There was sense OF
unreality about it: she would not have been
surprised at any moment to awake and ind
herself IN tie pretty draWlng-rCOm at Marine
Terrace-ali this beautiful fairy tale dream

at last; and it was to her as though some
charm had been broken.
''Do you like poetry, Miss Darrell?' in
quired Sir Nane.
Yes" she replied; 1T seems to me part of
myself. [ cannot explain clearly what

Then Lady st. Lawrence said something
about Sea View, and they left fairy-land for

Improving Swine.

The American Cutivator says: "Th5
best results with swine are obtained when
they are kept on grass. Good succulent
grass keeps them in health and produces
tar better pork than grain fed swine. The
large increase IN our export of pork should
be followed by universal effort to make
better pork. The best pork is the lean, or
at least where the lean predominates, and
this is not obtained by feeding the animal
on rich grain. Grass is the most natural
food for swine and it is also the cheap
est. Next to this vegetables are the
most desirable, and fruit stands a good
third. The corn and grain swine are
the dearest to raise and the least desir-
able.
A revolution is going On gradually in
pig feeding for pork, and we must follow
IL this line to keep abreast Of the time
The old way Of penning the swine up in
filthy pens to wallow in their own manure
and feeding them to safety with corn and
grain until they got SO fat they could
hardly move was against all the laws of
nature. The animals system stuffed up
and unable to perform its functions. Ex-
cessive layers of fat were produced, which
very few people cared about The modern
system is to turn the pigs into the grass
fields every gear and let them eat clover.
weeds and vegetab es, giving them only a
limited amount of grain. This keeps
them clean, prevents disease and fever
ish condition of the body and makes them
cool and quiet the year round. A SOW
that is brought up in this way bears fine
pigs and brings them up In truly royal
style.
Strange to say the cheapest foods pro-
duce the best pork, for it makes lean, and
not fat pork. The exercise which the ami
mails get in the fields develop their muscles
and frames, and this adds to the value of
pork. To reduce the fat and increase the
lean, one only has to keep the pigs in the
pasture all of their lives, and give tEem
plenty of vegetables. fruits, skimmilk and
bran. When their bodies are fully form
ed give them ground rye and bran A
little corn may be fed to them later, but
the fruit and vegetable diet should be kept
up al of the time Such pork as these
pigs would produce could not help but
find ready market. -

a STRANGE PEOPLE.
Dwellers in the Arctic-The People of
Upper Greenland

In 1913, Sir John Ross discovered an
isolated race Of human beings numbering
about two hundred souls, living on the
lnhospltabIe shores of North Greenland.
To this community he gave the romantic
name of Arctic Higblanders, y name
which unfortunately is misleading; for
they are literal people and cannctinhab-
1t the arctic highland, as it is an ever
lasting lce-cap, and moreover they will
not even visit 1t, for this inland ice is to
them region Of terror; land where a
bide their demons and evil spirits.
At the present day they number, as near
as can be estimated, about the same as
when the knowledge Of them came to the
civilized world; nor have they increased
their territory, but live on the narrow
strip Of mountainous coast, which is left
bare during the summer months, by the
retreat Of the winter SHOWS. They could
not be more cut off from other human
beings, did they live on some small
oceanic island. Practically they do live
on an island for they are surrounded by
water; by great eXpanses of water; for
they never pass the ice barrier Of the
great Humboldt Glacier, with its sea face
Of sixty miles; they never ascend to the
summer foot OF the 'ica blink, some two
thousand feet above sea level; nor attempt
to wander south over the vast ice-hoes of
Melville Bay, one hundred miles in extent.
At 70 % north latitude, near the southern
edge of the Humboldt Glacier is a collec-
ton of huts known as Etah, their most
northern settlement, while at Cape York,
in latitude 75o So N, probably their
largest eneampment, is their southern
limit, and which, as near as we could de-
termine by the sign language, they call
Pltanto. Their country may be said to
be about one hundred and eighty five
miles long and from three to five miles in
breadth.-Bepjamin Sharp, in February
