door and Mr.. Garraway (of Gray's Inn
place. noticed that each avoided look

Ernest Bradshaw closed the door and

into the fire
'Bad?" inquired Mr. Garraway.
YES" said young Mr.. Bradshaw,
violently. ''Of course it's bad. Worst
of it is that you never know until you

Mr.. Garraway owed his success as a
solicitor mainly to knowing exactly
when not to do the wrong thing.
Il want to ask you something, Gar
raway. Do you ever have people COM
ing to you to draw up deeds of separa-
tion?''
''Oh, yes: pretty often
well. would you mind being of some
use to me-and to Ellen?"
why. certainly. But you don't
want to be separated? Why, man alive,
you haven't been married a year,
''Garraway, look here. We have had
a row-a dispute. Or whatever you like
to call it. We have agreed to part"
On the piano in the dining-room up
stairs chord or two were struck, and
the clear voice of Mrs. Bradshaw rang
out
''You see,'' said Bradshaw, perfectly
jolly over it." There was sudden
stop and crash on the piano, as though
the player could keep it up no longer.
Look here, Bradshaw,"-Mr.G Cara
way passed his hand carefully over his
smooth, spare hair-''look here. Call
at my place at eleven o'clock to-mor-

THANK You, Garraway."
''Shalf we go upstairs? 1 must ar

The demure, precise little clock on
the mantelpiece in Mr.. Garraway's
chambers struck eleven. A small boy
entered with a card.

The Marketing Of Fruit.

The producer is great loser by mar.
keting his fruit in a haphazard way.
The fruit houses in the cities send out
into the country drummers and solicit
ors and they succeed in getting the
fruit consigned to certain houses that
may be utterly unknown to the grow
er, and his fruit may or may not be
sacrificed. In every section where fruit
growing is prominent industry, there
should be an organization with an
agent to attend to the marketing. 1t
would pay large profit. The selling
of farm products to travelling solicitors
is not business Voice.

Potatoes as Food for Cattle.

NJ Anne Girard, of Fa1sanderie.
France, has communicated another
memoir to the Acadmie des Sciences,
Paris. on his experiments with pota-
toes as forage for cattle. from which
it appears that the tubers are first
rate food. whether from the point of
view of fattening or the yield of milk
and butter. Sheep and oxen throve
much better on potatoes and hay than
on their ordinary food, and their flesh
was found to be superior in quality
His paper is worthy the attention OF
agriculturalists, especially those OF
granite lands. where forage is poor

FASHION ECHOES.

summer COIiaretteG - Popular COIOr9
Laces and Ribbons.
Huge collarettes of various sorts
have to great extent taken the place
this hot weather of capes, but often
there is need of some sort of substan-
tial covering for the shoulders. This,
this season, is supplied in many cases
by very full frilly cape of silk, crepon
or velvet, but the cape does not meet
in front, extending only little be-
yond the chest near the shoulders. and
a beholder of it wonders how it is adj
justed. This is accomplished . by
means of ribbon which passes under
the arm and buttons in the center of
the shoulders under the cape. The
fronts of the cape are turned back,
forming revers and revealing a very
handsome lining of rich brocade in
white, yellow, old rose, pale pink,
mauve or cerise. Some of these coll
lets are no more than twelve inches in
length, but they are very full.
Blues that rival the cobalt of a mid
tones of the after glow of sunset,
greens that repeat every varying tint
of turf and foliage. grays like the
morning mists of the ocean. and every
conceivable shade of brown-these are
the summer colors favored of fashion
most frequently seen in union with
other tones, friendly or otherwise,
black in many cases acting as mediator,
this somber dye being brought into
requisition even with the daintiest
tints and fabrics, its presence impart-
ing character to every class of material,
whether diaphanous or substantial.
Lace and black or other dark velvet
ribbon or ribbons of some description
are considered indispensable additions
to the class of dressy gowns now die
tated by fashion. The very newest
ribbons have edges of jet or lace.
Black silk crepe-lisse ribbon is another
novel variety largely used to veil trim
mings of brilliant color. There arc
likewise expensive hand-painted and
gauze ribbons with fringed or lace
edges-in short never did the
ribbon weavers turn out so much
variety as the present product
of their looms. 1t now seems
almost incredible that not very many
in this country was almost at stand

ruinously slack that a special appeal
was made to royalty beseeching them
to bestow their patronage on ribbon
and thus give an impetus to an almost
expiring industry. Previous to this

and all being trimmed chiefly with
flowers and feathers. As trimming
for gowns, ribbon was hardly thought
of, and at that time it was impossible
to suppose anything approaching the
present popularity Of and demand for
ribbon. At an importing house of note
recently a tour was made through an
immense room on the third floor of the
great establishment where nothing
was displayed but boxes of ribbons.of
every possible color. shade, pattern,
width and fabric, from lisse in
shadowy patterns to velvet and satin

The Crow q Afouser.

The bird was an old one, just knocked
down with a charge Of shot and handed
over in a dazed condition to my infor-
mant He recovered from his wounds,
but was always a very sedate bird He
had the run of large house and was
one day observed in a erouching atti-
tude pressed tightly into the angle
formed by the wall and floor. He had
discovered that the place was infested
by mice and was watching a crevice.
The instant that a mouse showed his
head the crow had him in his beak and
would kill him by striking him with
lightning rapidity two or three times
on the floor and then swallow him.
From that time mouse-catching was
the birds sole occupation and amuse-
ment, and he went about the house in
absolute silence and in the stealthy
manner of a extraordinarily Review.

any kind of soil. Most any kind of
land that will grow good potatoes win
grow good Strawberries. While they
need an abundance of moisture, es-
pecially during fruiting time. they will
not flourish in a wet soil where water
will stand. They require a WELL
drained soil, either naturally or arti-
fcially. Too much rain with little or
no sunshine is often very disastrous to
the crop.

THE ANGEL CONTENT.

One angel of His holy ones attending,
The soul in peace or pain hath learned 70
love;
One angel that from many overbending
Descendeth like dove
In shadow-time or in the morning glory,
In drought and famine. or in feasting days.
When grief is long and gladness transitory.
She hath her song Of praise.
ROBBED not in purple, she no chaplet weareth:
In kindly services her feet are swift,
And in her willing hands no gift she beareth.
Herself a perfect gift
When friends and foes forget, forsake COM
pletely,
And Hope. aweary. homeward flies, nigh
spent
One from the silence clearly calls and sweetly:
Love me. am Content"

Forty Years After. !
We climbed to the top of Goat Point hin.
Sweet Kitty, my sweetheart and I.
And watched the moon make stars on the
waves
And the dim white ships go by:
While throne we made on . rough STONE wall.
And the king and the queen were We,
And sat with Ey arm about Kitty.
And she with her arm about me. -
The water was mad in the moonlight,
And the sand like gold where it shono,
And our hearts kept time to the music, =
As we sat in that sp1endor alone
And Kitty's dear eyes twinkled brightly,
And Kitty's brown hair blew so free,
While sat with my arm about Kitty.
And she with her arm about me.
Last night we drove In our carriage
To the well ct the top OF the hill.
And though we re forty years older.
We're children and sweethearts still
And we talked again of the moonlight
That danced so mad on the sea.
When sat with my arm about Kitty,
And she with her arm about me.
The throne on the wall was still standing.
But we sat in the carriage last night.
For wall Is too high for old people
Whose foreheads have Innings Of white.
And Kitty's waist measure is forty.
While mine is full fifty and three,
So can't get my arm about Kitty,
Nor can she get both hers about me.
