passed before he returned seemed an
eternity to the woman in the end bed,
half loving, wholly hating him as she
did. When she again heard his firm
step near her she quivered uncontroll-
ably, and once more hid her face in

A GIANT TELESCOPE.
Geru,n Instrument Which Rivals die
Lick in Some Particulars

Germ, N Instrument Which Rivals die
Lick in Some Particulars.
One OF the most imposing objects TO
be seen at the recent Berlin exposition
was new form of observatory contain
ing a telescope of gigantic dimensions
and of extraordinary shape. As rule,
an observatory is a circular building
covered in by a hemispherical dome,
which can be opened and swung around
to anv part OF the heavens. In the new
form of observatory this type of build
ING is absent, and it could scarcely be
recognized as an observatory. Proceed
ing by n flight of steps, large platform
was reached, at the east end of which
was found the observatory and tel
escope, all in one, and inclosed i'll
tube like gigantic stovepipe.
Like most great telescopes, the Berlin
instrument is q refractor, and the
mounting equatorial. The main diff
Guilty in constructing a large modern
telescope lies in the glass. Enormous
difficulties have to be encountered in
order to obtain a pure glass without
flaw. In this respect the greatest sue
cess has been attained by Messrs. Alvin
Clark, of Boston, who constructed the
telescope for the Lick observatory in
California The lens in this wond arful
instrument is 80 inches in diameter and
without a flaw. In his famous works at
Jena DR.. Schott has managed to east
q piece of glass which comes very near
the dimensions of the Lick glass. There
are two Ienses-one of flint glass, the
other of crown glass. They were poll
ished by Steinheil, in Munich, and each
has q diameter of something over %
inches.
When the telescope is in the vertical
position the achromatic object glass is
112 feet from the ground. A perfect i'm
age of the sun, over eight inches in
diameter, can be obtained, and by suit
able lenses in the eyepiece the image
can be magnifed 1000 to 5000 diam
eters. In this respect Archenold's tel
escope surpasses all others. The length
of the tube offers a disadvantage, in
asmuch as it must interfere with the
rigidity of the instrument, and this is a
most important defect of all great tel
escapes. Still, the gigantic mountings
of the instrument will minimize this
error to q great extent. The telescope
is worked by electrical appliances with
extreme precision, and we may look for
some startling new discoveries, which
will rival the wonderful results got at
the Lick observatory. If it succeeds n
this respect one may forgive the I'M
slightly form of the latest development
in astronomical struments.-Londor

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Young fruit trees must have good
care to grow well.
When crops are grown in the orchard
be sure to manure it.
Thorough pruning is prerequisite
to successful spraying.
Do not allow too many new plants
among the blackberries and raspbcr-
ries.
Rhubarb, asparagus, Strawberries,
gooseberries and currants should be in
every garden.
If the vines or canes are too thick in
the rows the fruit will be small and OF
an inferior quality.
Thick planting of trees is as much
against production as is crowding of
plants in the garden.
The best remedy for an orange rust
on raspberries is to dig out every
affected cane and burn it.
During the winter is good time to
plant out the small fruit plot and the
orchard.
If shrubs require pruning, the best
time ia do the work IS just after the
Towering is over.
1t is not 500 late to mulch the fall
planted onion sets if the work has not
been done before.
Apples in the cellar will keep much
better if care is taken to keep the tenn
perature even.
Whatever tends to produce or build
the general health and thrift OF the
trees Will also help to keep them free

the wind had howled madly over it's
triumph. 1t blew up against the hos
pital windows in wild gusts, and it
shrieked deliriously as it called to the
lake, tossing and moaning out a mourn
full chant of it's own.
This, at least, is the way it seemed to
the woman in the end bed of the acct
dent ward. you're vanquished, you're
conquered, you're beaten at last" it
seemed to say as she lay there watching
with her tired, lovely eyes the poor,
gloomy-looking clouds buffeted back
and forth. mo hope, no hope" it coun-
ter-called as it swept furiously around
from the street end of the wall and
walled rushingly up and down the mar
row court on the other side. Sometimes
that court, with its cleaning, white
washed wall, proved a very messenger
of hope to this stranded bit of flotsam
washed up high and dry by the tides of
defeat and despair. The long, narrow
shafts of sunlight which crept up one
side and down the other as the day
waxed and waned seemed to whisper of
coming gladness, even to her. But to-
day-this desolate, hopeless day-the
court was 80 cherries that she turned
her face away from the window and
Razed at the bare whitewashed wall in
stead. To-day of all days she felt that
any added dreariness was unbearable.
"A year ago tonight" she thought,
sadly, but with grooming tenderness
with which men look upon dead face,
the face of beloved child soon to shut
entirely away from the light of day, and
the wind took up the burden of her
thoughts and crooned it, too.
"a year ago tonight, a year ago to-
night it called and shouted until she
thought her brain was turning. "A
year ago tonight" She covered her
aching eyes, too tired to close naturally,
with her thin, spirit-like hand and tried
to think of something else. What had
happened at the time of which that
cruel wind insisted on blaring out?
What had not happened, rather? He
had said that he loved her, and She A
burst of tears, none the less bitter for
being so swiftly and sternly repressed,
attested to the fact that her whispered
vows of reciprocated alteration had
been true. And yet, year later, here
she was in the accident ward of char
ity hospital. and he-where? She had
seen nothing of him since the night up
on which she had gone home to find his
visiting card on her little table and
hastily scrawled message bidding her a
cold farewell, on the back of it. The
reason of this action she had never
known, but the results! Her very heart
and soul were indelibly SCARED by the
marks of the agony she had endured at
that time.
She had given up painting soon after
that; and the recollection of his praises
and hopes for her success had made the

Calcareous Nest Eegs.

Some one writes one of our poultry
Dapers that he has conceived the idea"
of making nest eggs by filling empty
egg shells with liquid plaster of Paris,
which soon solidifies. Other people haze
had this idea years ago; but, when
worked out, it is lacking IN satisfactory
results. The hens soon find the small
exposed portion of the filling, and be-
Gin pecking at it. 1t disintegrates
easily, and soon the eggs are about az
good as so many rnevenly shaped
stones. The China eggs are now worth
less than the eggs which the hens lay.
They never lead the fowls on % peck
at the eggs until they become egg-eat-
err. They are lasting, and in every way
the best for the purpose to which the,
are devoted.

her to continue 1t. With her enthusi-
asm for her beloved work had gone
her health, her hope, all but her
life. And even that was flickering
out now, she thought, with fresh panS
OF wild desire to go on living; the big
draw which had sent her to the hos
initial had sent her also to her death.
She had wished to die, yes, but death
at close range, near at hand, facing
one, is a stern reality very different
from the localized vision of death
which sentimentality and an aching
heart call forth. And to slip out OF
life in this helpless way seemed all at
once uncomfortable. Her whole spirit
rose in arms against it. Her heart
beat suffocatingly, she buried her face
in the pillow and tried in vain to still
the wild throbbing, to calm her troubled
breathing. So wrapt was she in the
inner struggle which consumed her
that she never heard the light footfal!

And turn all kinds of somersauIts
On the fresh and fragrant hay;
A-JumpinE and a-tumbIing

At my home away back yonder,

How the pigeons used to iutter,
And strut about and COO!
And make love TO one another,
Like sweethearts used to do.

As dangled there, head downward,
Holding by my little legs;

The twittering of the swallows,
While making homes of mud;
The gleefUl game of hide-and-seek,
The slip, the sudden thud;
The pattering of the raindrops
Above the hay so soft,
Are memories still clinging

MAKING CELLARS FROST PROOF.

below the safety point during cold
snap is a factor TO be guarded against.
A cellar can be made frost-proof by lay
ing q single wall of brick inside the
underpinning, leaving an air space be-
tween the bricks and the outer wall, but
this is somewhat expensive. An easier
and cheaper way is to put up some short
studs just inside the underpinning, and
to nail upon these thin matched boards,
down to a point a little below the
ground on the outside of the cellar
wall, leaving an air space as shown in
the illustration. Fruit will then be out
of danger from low temperature out
