Mrs. Gardiner looked at the girls
dark face and compressed her lips.
1T is shame"' She murmurcd to
herself. Elsie lives life Of compar-
alive ease-wcars pretty clothes, takes
all the pleasure she can get, and has
nothing to do but smile and be ad-
mired. Why should she rob this girl
Of the one CLEAN of happiness held out
to her? 1t is cruel; l almost hate
Elsie's fair face"
When the time came for departure
the vicarage parties always terminal
cd ut an early hour-Mr. Townshcnd
expressed his intention of seeing the
Misses Hatfield home. their residence
being only few minutes walk from
the I'riory: and Judy, feeling herself
very much de trop, walked home be-
side the enamoured pair.
Just as they arrived at the road
where the girls lived, the subject Of
conversation turned upon flowers and
colorS. Mr. Townshend remarking that
roses were his favoritc flowers. though
he preferred scarlet as a color. and
saying tcnderly to ElSie-"1 have new
er seen you Wear any shaGe Of red"
No" she retortod. laughingly, lit
too nearly approaches my shade OF
hair"
What" he calculated. "Who says
so? Your hair rod? Prepostcrous. 1t
is an exquisite shade. never saw
anything like it but once in my life
Judy guessed by the tender infection
in his voice that his tiancce had hair
resembling ElSie's-"and that was so
beautiful that men raved about it, and
the wcmen We're so jealous that they
avcrred that it was dyed"
Never mind" returned Elsie. OBJ
stinately: II would rather have hair
like Judys.'
BLACK hair suits Miss Judith. but it
would not have suited YOU. Why, had
Titan been alive now, Miss Elsie. he
would have made you sit to him unit!
he could have copied every light and
shade in Your beautiful hair
"Would he indecd:" retortcd Elsie,
tossing her head. Perhaps l should
not have allowed him."
Mr.. Townshed laughed softly. say
ing. as he looked down ut her:
He would have bribed or coaXed
you, and l should have added my en-
treaties to his. Would YOU have had
the heart to resist both Of u.s.
Elsie shrugged her graceful shout

Of Titian's women. and she was n

me as. do you Think"
LAS Venus or Psyche Venus was
jealous Of Psyche. you know, and the
God of Love himself loved her." Judy
heard him say, softly; and. as Judith
walked ITO the garden path and left
Elsie and Mr.. Townshend standing at
the gate. her hand went up to her
breast to still the heartbeats: but,
with a Quivering sigh. she put away
frCm her forever the one dream of her
life. This devotion to Elsie had opened
Ter eyes and taught her thai the
weeks in which Claude TownShcnd
had made part of her life were the
happieSt she had ever known.

outside are scattered Kingdoms and

Galloway Robes.

recent publication, issued by the
Galloway breeders, says: The hides Of
the Galloway, when taken at the right
time in the fall, and properly tanned,
make excellent robes, quite equal to
the buffalo robes of the old days. This
is becoming an important trade and
profitable one. Accustomed as the
Galloway has been for generations to-
an outdoor life in humid climate, he
has now an excellent coat of warm FUR
with long wavy outside covering, and
a short thick messy hair below, MAX
ing beautiful robe For the north
and northwest of our continent, where
winter furs are so much needed the
Galloway offers an excellent winter
covering. They make good, serviceable
coats and jackets, worn by both men
and women-fur capes, robes for the
cutter, and rugs for the dwelling. Sell
dom pure black, they are often
warm rich dark brown or a brown
black-or vary in shade between the
two. For this purpose brindled ones
would be valuable, though now rather
uuCOAAAAOA. AAC "41IC1 ldI0ly Saw q
fine brindled robe sold in Quebec for
eighty dollars. The brown stripes
across it were as clear as those Of a
tiger skin. At one time brindled ami
mails were quite common, but since the
fashion has set in for black, other col
ors have become rare. Other colors
may be just as pure as the prevailing
black. The Galloway black is not a
pure black. The calves when first
dropped are usually dark mahogany
brown. The undercoat of fine hair Of
ten keeps this tinge which is clearly
seen when the coat is being she'd. A
very deep black is more frequently
found among half-breeds. The rich
brown tinge is good sign Of purity OF
blood. Many families have more or
less white on the udder, and a few
white patches on the underline as we'll.
Others have few white hairs scattered
through the hide, often no. noticed
but the trait may run in a family far
generations Belted cows are still met
with, but are not now as common as
they were in the early years Of this
century. Then there We're whole herds
Of this belted race, which had good
reputation as mixers. One herd had
marks-White face and white stripes
on tho back like Hereford coors. Dim
or light drabs are still met with, and
reds are not unknown, but these are
becoming more and moro rare. en-
color Is no proof OF want OF purity of
blood. a

Applying Manure.

To The Farmers Review:-In a re-
cent number you quote from an article
by Prof. Massey, in which he tries 10
prove that manure should be put very
near If not on the surface O! the land.
The only proof he gives is That in one
case a subsoil (clay?) was spread to a
depth of three or four feet on the nat
ural soil. This made soil !'eu had a
neaVy coating OF manure applied anu
left on top, and roses and Other things
III this soil grew and bloo:ne>l with
llnusua! laNIria:i4e. Now it sees.s that
fro1. Massey taG nothing 10 compare
his results with. Being Il good expert
inenter. he shon!n h.ve had ono patch
OF that soil w!;Acn. manure AID an
other In whics ne manure was dug
well and deeply in;o The soil. Here in
central Mississippi the soil on our
NIL lands, Is comparatively thin, and
unless well cared for is soon exhaust
ed. When exhausted it is often neg
lected and allowed to gully, and the
clay from THESE fuliiee is spread out
on the lowe" levll :and In many places
here on my own SIrm I have at least
three We'll marked cases. In two OF
the cases the gnllies occupy something
near one-fourth of an acre each, and
reach an extreme depth Of about 8
feet. and the clay is spread over an
area OF something like an acre. In
the other case the gully occupies an
area OF about one-half acre, has an
extreme depth of about 10 feet, and
the clay is spread over about 21A or
8 acres These patches of made land,
from hlllsides where only very poor
crops can al present be grown, COM
prise decidedss the most productive
land l have. While the hillsides will
not make, on an average, 10 bushels
OF corn to tHa acre, this clay, taken
from them aEG spread out. will easily
make 6O with an ordinarily good sea-
son. All the crops 1 have sean grown
on such land ave more productive there
than on any ether kind Of land we
nave. This is so decidedly true that
am thinking seriously of compelling
my hill land to wash and snread the
~' wv IAC OOLlOulS anu CLucl lCNSl
places. The question. however, is not
one OF the fertility CT clay, but of the
treatment of manure when applied 10
the SOIL Shall we leave it on top or
ploW 1t under? The recommendation of
the best authorities is to put into the
soil and not on top. On top it acts
primarily as mulch, and, of course,
would often be valuable for that alors:.
1t acts as manure only when the
soluble part is carried down to the
roots by rains.
II one is to judge by the color of
the flood water that runs off from
field where the manure has been left
on top a great deal is lost by leach
ing. If one is to judge by smell, q
large part Of the nitrogen, which is
the most valuable constituent Of ma
nure, and is also the part most likely
to be needed by the soil, is being con-
stantly evaporated from manure that
is spread on top Of the ground. If ma.
nure is plenty and the soil needs
mulch more than it does manure, it will
be all right to leave it on top. But most
of us are sadly in need of manure as
manure, and can get our mulch cheaper
by good cultivation.

of the Fulton we're number of Spanish
refugees, who crowded up to the rails.
Several of them were women, evidently
of the wealthy class. The ship was
probably bound for Vera Cruz, Mexico.
