"Rose!" CALCULATED the young fell
low, seizing her hands, and looking
at her ia mingled doubt and delight;
"you do not mean it, dear. You do
not comprehend what you are say
ing"
ut is you who fail to comprehend,
John. God looks at the heart. not the
outward appearance, and a good wo-
mans love is akin to God. I learned
long ago to- love the sweet, unselfish
soul within you. And do you sup
pose that this Flemish of the face
will change one iota of that affec-
ton? 81 3D.. ~.
'Oh, John, how little you under
stand woman's heart! Wait!' she
cried, as he attempted to draw her
into his arms. al
81 am going to say something that
will hurt you. You were a very
handsome man, and you were very
vain. Do you know that personal
vanity is one of the weakest of weak
things in man? I deplored it in
you, for it was the one flaw in your
character
''Forgive me, John. Your beauty
of face is gone forever, but your
beauty of character is untouched, and
may be enhanced if you will but bear
your afiiction in a manly, patient
spirit. Where is your faith, John?
You taught me long ago to trust in
Gods wisdom and goodness. Do you
not see that he is dealing with you in
love, and that all these things will
work together for your good?"
''Rose, my love, my little comfort?'
cried the man, in broken tones.
Eyes, 1 see, 1 see! God is good.
He has given me youth and health,
and your best love. l will never
doubt Him again. Oh. Rose, the scales
have fallen from eyes, and my
duty seems clear. How weak I have
been! I will not give up my beloved
profession, but will rise superior to
this morbid sensitiveness, which is
but a species of the vanity you have
spoken of, and with Gods help I will
yet make an honored name for us
both.
''Oh, .Rose!' he cried, sire itching out
his hands to her in pathetic tender
ness; ''do you know what you have
done? You have given me back faith
and hope, and life is once more worth
the living. What may I not yet &C
complish with you at my side? Never,
until now, did I thoroughly under
stand the wealth of affection that
abides in a true woman's heart"

BARRIERS IN BRITAIN,
Frank Rut's Description of Dublin and
London Shaving Shops.

Frank Rutf's Description of Dublin and
London Shaving Shops.
In Dublin the first-class shops are
managed in the same way as the lead
ing shops of London, and most of the
first-class journeymen BARRIERS here
hail from London, and are paid what
are called London wages, that is, thir-
ty-fve shillings week, but bar Der
in order to get those wages must also
be a ladies' hairdresser. The cheaper
shops only pay their journeymen from
thirteen to twenty shillings a week.
The first-class shops charge six pence,
that is twelve cents for shaving, and
the same price for hair cutting and
shampooing- The cheaper shops
charge only two pence, or four cents,
for shaving, hair cutting and sham
pooling. Some shops in Cork only
charge a penny for each. The first
class shops here turn out customer
just as we'll as the BARRIERS in America,
if not little better. but I would not
let the cheaper BARRIERS shave my dog.
Some of the finest shops in Dublin
have our old-fashioned chairs. saws
the National Barber, and some have
just an upholstered chair with head
piece attached. The cheap shops,
! most of them, just use wooden chair
and the barber wears dirty apron,
but in the finer shops they wear white
coats and clean white aprons. London
HAS great many shops. but there are
only few really good shops. Most of
the barber shops here are called toilet
clubs and they are all located on the
second floor. They get three pence
for shaving. The journeymen bar
bers get about thirty shillings week;
a few get more, but they depend
largely on their customers for tips.
The best shaveI have had in London
was in barber shop conducted by a
lady. She employs five other ladies
and charges three pence for shaving
and little extra for dressing the b air.
There are only about half a dozen
shops in London which have modern
American chairs. ss.. ~@. j.

tle country inn, rest curiously upon
his disfgured face. He had not yet
become accustomed to being stared at.
The fresh spring morning had no
charm for him for he felt that his life
was ruined. He looked over III the
tiny vine-trellised cottage, with a bit
ter 81 gh and rebellious spirit. He
had come from the hospital to his old
home. and for a whole week had been
so near to Rose, his sweetheart, that
twenty steps would have carried him
to her side; and yet he had kept his
room until the morning of his depart
ure, fearing, by chance to meet her.
He had sent coldly polite notes of
thanks for the many gifts Of flowers
and books which had come to him
from her kind hands; and though his
heart cried out in bitter protest, he
resolved that he would never see her
again. He would rather die than see
her shrink from him in disgust.
Modify, he smoked his cigar, and
reviewed the past-the long years of
toll and study in college, his admis-
sion to the bar, his first speech before
a Jury-a speech that had won the
plaudits and bright predictions of his
colleagues. How full of promise life
had seemed! But erything bright
had come to an end on the day of the
accident
The explosion of a gun in his own
hands had robbed his right eye of it's
sight and torn his cheek so fright
fully that he started in horror when
he first saw it's reflection in the
mirror. The publicity Of the court
would be intolerabl to him now He
must work at something away from
the eyes of men.
Suddenly, sweet young voice rang
out in a merry song, behind the tall
thorn hedge, and in an instant the
man was on his feet.
It was Rose. The desire to see her
once more overpowered him. His
cigar and resolution were alike for
gotten. He ran down the steps, and
sprang through a gap into a little
flower garden, where slender,
brownh aired girl, on her knees, was
searching among the wet leaves for
violets.
Good morning, John,' she said,

COrEfoduer Tor Sheep.

Much has been said about the value
Of cornfodder in other departments Of
the paper, but I want to add my testi-
mony to it's value for sheep. The OBJ
ject in praising is not to induce a
more extensive use of it and so in
crease its commercial value, but to
encourage better methods of handling
it.
Cornfodder is. worth far more, COM
paratiyely, than the majority of farm
ers seem to realize, judging from their
methods of handling it. Not cut up
until the frost has blackened the
leaves, then allowed to stand in the
field until fed during the winter, it is
worth no more than it always has
BEEN. But early cit we'll cured and
early secured cornfodder, consider
worth almost as much per acre as
hay made, from timothy and the
native grasses, and in fact, worth
about the same per ton, as the yields
will be approximately equal. We this
year have q twelve-acre field of corn
yielding about IS bushels of grain
per acre. We weighed several loads
of fodder and found there was ap-
proXinlately one ton Per acre. The
corn was drilled and the stalks were
rather small for the yield of corn. BY
working with somewhat the same
haste as we do in making, hay, we
this year got most of our fodder into
the barn before it was wet. 1t is
pleasure now to feed it. Feed in the
wall rack I described some time ago.
1t is surprising how little the sheep
leave Of it. I do not think they would
each much more of it if run through
a cutting box. The stalks that are
left are no objection about the barn.
They are always cleaned from the
racks before another feed is given. 1t
takes no more time than to remove
the refuse hay, and we need the stalks
to litter the yards. In fact, we could
scarcely get along without them. We
consider straw too valuable for such
use, and the hay the sheep refuse we
make the horses eat.
We find sheep eat fodder much
closer than either horses or cattle
It may be a little divergence, but I
want to say that after three years
experience feeding long fodder in the
barn. even to horses and cattle where
the stalks are thrown under, them as
absorbents, l would never again hes
itate to put fodder in the barn from
fear Of annoyance from the long stalks
in the manure. We use Miller ma
nure spreader, and it handles them
perfectly. We never handle them
with a fork but once-whcn they are
thrown into the spreader.

1T is always best to make the bcsy
of bad thing. Breeders Of all kinds
of palre-bred live stock have, as a rules
had a pretty hard row to hoe for the
past few years. Prices have not only
been low, but sales have been hard to
make: Stock has accumulated and
expenses piled up for those who have
tried. to- Keep their stock in such con
dllon that it would attract attention
on. the market. With all these things
TO- consider it no wonder that many
nave been discouraged and have felt
like abandoning the field.
Undep existing circumstances it is
about as hard u matter to quit breed
Ing, ass It is, to continue. To pull out
suddenly means a sacrifice that few
can stand. lit takes some courage to
race the inevitable and put good stock
:: up at, a. forced sale regardless of what
it will bring. Those in quest Of the
very: kind: Of stock that is offered ar q
rulnously low price are apt to take adj
vantage Of the situation and buy at
extremely low figures. The fact that
a breeder is willing to admit that he
mas LOST: faith in an enterprise which
ne has upheld heretofore discourases
others from embarking in the same
line; and this reacts against values.
In other words, it is hard to enthuse
oehers IN business when you are
trying to get" out of it yourself, for
What you consider good business rea-
sons: All these things confront the
breeder, who feels that the future
SHOWS but little promise for him, and
they are matters that bear. some
weight In making q decision in the
matter.
IN this connection the advice to take
courage and struggle on might be
needed to advantage. Good breeding
counts for as much at one time as
another, when the intrinsic value is
taken into consideration. When COM
pared with the values of common
STOCK the prices for pure bred animals
OF nearly all kinds are almost as high
IN proportion as they ever were. Ten
years ago, when the quotations for
peer cattle ranged from IS to SIS per
ioo weight, shortborn bulls were
bringing from $500 to $3.50 Tel head.
AL present, prices for beeves are not
much more than one-half what thew
were then, and breeders are able to
sell their bulls at $50 to SIS per head.
Ihe same thing IS true in regard to
other kinds of stock. If something
else offered great Inducements for
pront theVe might be better reasons
Tor abandoning breeding. Besides the
lower range in values gives breeders
a grand opportunity to build up their
NERDS and f1ocks. Animals that might
otherwise be considered entirely ont
OF their reach may now be secured
without a very heavy outlay. It is
a good time to Gull closely and keen
nothing but the best individuals. Ry
the time a first-class herd is estab-
lished, prices mag be entirely diff
ferellt. If they are not there will be
lots of satisfaction in knowing that
you have as good stock as any one
else who breeds the same kind. In
the meantime you are likely to make
a great deal more money than the
man who let's his stock run down or
handles nothing but scrubs.-Stock-
