a young girl lying fat on the grass. Be-
fore she could speak he understood her
peril.
She was almost at the edge of cliff not
less than 40 feet in height, and below her
was mass of jagged rocks. The slope on
which she lay was steep, and the short
grass that covered 1t was so dried and
burned by the sun that IL was as slippery,
almost, as ice. Moreover, the soil In which
1t grew was hardly moro than q sheet of
forest mold over smooth rock, and there
was no chance for her to get even slight
hold by digging her fingers into 1t.
"You are hurt? No!' he asked quickly.

every time try to move slip a little nearer
the edge, and there is nothing to keep me
from falling over if / slip any farther"
"That Is right, said the professor, land
it is good for you that hear. Lie still
now, and will soon up get you"
1t was not so easy, however, rs 1t looked
and as he at first thought 1t was. On
either side of her he could get within some
90 feet of where she was without yentur-
ing on the treacherous grass himself and
so losing his own foothold. But, though
he could have held out stick or impro-
vised rope that she could reach across
that distance, 1t would not do to pull her
along the edge without some stay from the
upper part of the slope, and that was fully
90 feet above her.

knights of old-crusaders who went to
conquer the world, could not hope to
succeed unless they were in virile, hearty
health. A man cannot face difficulties if
his stomach isn't in good order. Dis
ordered digestion will make a slug gish
coward out of any man. 1t makes his
mind stagnant, and he cannot think
quickly enough to accomplish anything.
It makes his movements slow, and takes
all of the snap out of him. Every man
in business in America has fight on his
hands Just as much as ever had belted
knight. 1t is matter Of life and death,
Just the same with him as it was with the
crusader. Indigestion and all the ills
that go with it, most frequently start in
constipation. That keeps all sorts of inn
purities in the body, forces them into the
blood, and so deranges the whole system.
Constipation is one of the commonest
ills, and to it are traceable most of the
disorders that make people sick. Once
it gets a firm hold on man, it is most
difficult to overcome it. Temporary re-
lief can be obtained in thousand ways.

The history of sheep husbandry dates
back to almost as remote period as
that of man, and from that time to the

nent position in the commerce of all

kick a sheep, he virtually asserted that
1t would be luxury to abuse his best

the various families or kinds of sheep,

JudIcIous Foeding OF Cattle.

In an address. z. p. Lee said: "If

abundant supply of healthful food,

the best bull We can afford to purchase,

Is accomplished, we have employed
more or less imperfectly all the pro-
cesses under which the domestic ami
mails of the same species develop into
breeds. Good food, or the lack of 1t,
exercise in moderation or excess, shell
ter or exposure, and selection or care
lessness in crossing, these make up the
sum total of the influences which modi-

The form, constitution, and temper Of
every domestic animal is, aside from
the characteristics of the species, the
eject of the interplay Of these causes.
Judicious feeding, careful treatment in
shelter and exercise, and sktlful selec-

the breeders's art. II one Of these be
lacking, breeding is nearly a failure.
II all are defective, the animals that
result are well night worthless. We
must be careful in regard to mating.
The breeder should notice the defects
of the female he wishes to breed, and
couple her with a male as nearly per-
feet as possible; and especially strong
In the point where she is weak, and by
