such punishment under such circum-
stances as might have fred the meekest
ofmen to revenge. He really loved Milly
Hartman with all the love of which his
gross soul was capable; and TO be
thrashcd by his successful rival under
her eyes while in the act of dastardly
assault upon her was an ignominy to
be wiped out in blood. He brooded
upon his love, his hate, his Jealousy
and his revenge till you might rather
say that these passions possessed him
than that he possessed them.
Another passion, also, which fed all
these with the fire of hell-the passion
for drink-now mastered him so en-
tirely that he was hardly ever sober.
Well, therefore, might Milly dread a
de,noniac SO possessed; and this dread
made her consent to an immediate mar
riage with Arthur Munro
Accordingly the wedding day was
not only fastened, but the wedding
itself was kept strictly private in def
crence TO Milly's dread of Bastable's
vengeance upon her lover. And her
precautions would probably have pre-

accident The carriage with the bride

when they had entered the station: "a

Meanwhile Milly cried, clinging to
Arthur's arm almost convulsively; "Oh,

"Milly, darlingl You've got that
brute on the brain. What can he do
here at midday in crowded station?'
Then turning to porter he asked;

LET me put you into carriage,

So saving he hurried her to carriage
and rot in with her to dispose of the
wraps and other light articles on the
seat and in the rack.
At this moment Bastable, who had
dooged them to the carriage, passed
its door unseen and walked on toward

The Fox, the Badger and Rabbits.

The fox noses the rabbits out at times
and scratches them out. AS TO the badger
what could be more delicate for his very
accommodating appetite than tender
young rabbits? They put flesh onto his
ribs after his fast-often a long and com
pulsory one-in winter. So he digs fCl
them in the most businesslike manner,
Just like a mole He knows where they
are exactly-his nose tells him that-and
in less than two minutes the fore part Of
him is buried. All you will see will be
his hind legs working vigorously and a
lot of earth moving. But he gets his
rabbits. Hungry stOmachs are hard to
reason with. The badger is, | know, a
a rule, nocturnal in his habits, so is a
fox; but where the places that they fYe
quent are quiet and secluded they will at
times hunt by day for their food. A
vixen and her mate at times reverse the
order of things. Like humans, wood

Sane Suggestions From the Insane.

L'Anti-Alieniste is the title of a re-
markable and amusing little sheet writ
ten and produced by the patients-they
would, no doubt. strongly object to be-
ing called lunatics-of the great Bicetre
asylum. It's editor in chief Is one Charles
Etlinger. Its circulation is limited, 40
copies being as large an edition as can
be produced by the gelatine process.
Politics and religion find no place in it,
but it excels i'll satire, directed mainly
against the doctors.
It's prose is not one whit more incOher-
ent than that of the bOulevards. Serious
discussions are not tabOOed. Apropos of
a communication by DR.. Charles Fere to
the Society of Biology relative to the
transmission of madness from men to
animals, Etlinger III a recent number
inveighs against the prOmiscuousness in
asylums which allows Of the exchange
of all sorts of madness between man
and man. He demands to know what
amount of reason it is necessary to pos
sess to resist long stay in an asylum
like Bicetre, where the iron cages con-
verge toward a common center and
where the raving madmen disturb their
more peacefulneighbors. London News.

Word For Farmers.

The great drawback on many farms to
the highest success with cows is the
want of good pasture. Many pastures
are stocked with early grasses which
give fair amount of feed early in tn"
season, but after the last of July begin
to fail, and through the remainder of the
season afford but scanty feed. There is
but one way for the farmer to bridge
this chasm of poor pasturage, by adopt
ing partial soiling system-that is, to
get near the full benefit of his dairy
