CHAPTER X.-(ContinuedJ
The Sea Kings wished to know, in the
second place, whether Captain Manly had
come to resume his command of the sea
King in her novel career; and whether ne
would govern them as OF old. receiving
One-fourth of their gross gains for ms
share. In that ease, they would at once
swear obedience 10 his commands.
These queries were propounded TO Ath-
erley, Morton and the other subaitern
officers. by the crew with all due gravity
and respect, and with such received by
the same. A brief consultation was then
held on the quarter deck, in which 1T was
agreed among the officers that the adj
vantages to be gained by Manly's resum-
ing the command would be so great as TO
Justify their losing rank to attain that
end, and hey all agreed each to decline
one grade. Frederick Atherley to be first
luff in lieu of captain, and ali the others
so in rotation.
This being duly settled. Atherley de-
seconded to the cabin. where he PROFOUND

Profit in theCow.

There is large difference In the prof
its on cows, even when the same kinds
of foods are given. The majority of
dairymen are well satisfied with COW
that will give as much as ten quarts
of milk day for 500 days, and. allow
ing fifteen quarts OF milk for each
pound of butter, she would produce
1900 quarts of milk and 200 pounds of
butter. Many cows do not approach
such yields of milk and butter, but
there are cows which give twice IS
much milk as the quantity mentioned
and also produce twice as much butter.
The profit is therefore large. because
the greater the yield of an animal the
smaller the cost proportionately.

are as tight as the gown worn will per-
nit. Lapels of fur add much to such a
coat, both in dressiness and stylishness.
The one pictured here was biscuit melton
cloth, with seal lapels and trimming of
black velvet and stitching.
Such coat is a distinguished garment.
OF course it cannot compare in that re
spect with a fur garment of like dimen-
sions, but dollar for dollar it gives far
better return. There's no use trying to
rival women whose extravaganza finds
expression in furs. How, for instance,
could one combat cape that was all
sable tails. with the richest of white satin
for lining? Better give it up at once,
sniff and insinuate under your breath
that she'd have done better to have put
it into a coat.

Farm Accounts.

January is the month to begin with
farm accounts. 1t is just as important
for a farmer to keep books as for a
merchant TO do so. so he will not be
able TO estimate the profit or loss at the
end of the year unless he knows how
much has been expended and for what
purpose BY keeping accounts the

market reports and become better in

with articles consumed on the farm

L is difficult just
now to tell what are

radical changes from
what was current
during the early win

many that it does
not seem possible for
all to survive. Yet
most of these have
distinct advantages,
SO it is difficult to

one naturally wants

Mh;lewashinr Peach Trees.

Those who have peach trees will do
well to remember that in Missouri they
have decided that spraying peach trees
two or three times during the winter
is an efficient protection for them
against the early starting of the buds,
and killing afterward by frosts. Use
a thin whitewash and cover trunk,
branch and twigs, and renew when the
weather had washed it off. They say
that it makes the fruit but little, if any,
later, but makes sure crop of it,
which is what peach growers most
want

But that doesn't settle much, for the ac-
companying pictures only hint of the va
riety of ways in which this rule may be
met. However. since it is an almost es-

individual taste if only that is guided by
reasonable consideration of what's new.
An answer that was easy yet stylish was

there was no profit. 1t is never good
policy to go largely into the production
of any crop the next season after an
era of high prices. There are so many
who will do so that those who try some
other crop will be the wiser ones. And
this is more true of perishable crops
than of one that can be held over like
broom corn.

Destruction of Birds.

There is a complete failure of the
olive crop in Southern Italy and in Sic
lily this season, owing to the ravages
of the oil fly, which appeared in un,
usual numbers on account of the pro
longed drouth of last summer and fall.
The loss to the provinces of Bari and
Lecee alone is estimated at 60,000,000
lire, or ST., 100000 There will be a cor
responding scarcity of oil, of course.

Preventing Freezing in Cellars.
There are times when 1t seems 81
most impossible to prevent vegetable:
from freezing in the cellar OF course
having doors and windows tight and {
banking around the walls on the colo
sides does much to prevent this, but
when that coolest day since we car
remember comes unexpectedly, as il
does so many times, the chances are
that many are not we'll prepared for it
A small oil stove, or even one or two
lanterns. lighted and burning, will dc
much to give warmer temperature
and one or two tubs Of water put down
there will do nearly as much. The
first throw off an active heat and the
water latent heat. Not until the wat
err is frozen will anything else freeze
there. Set the stove or lanterns on the
bottom of the cellar. as heat rises, and
see that they cannot set fire to any
thing.

SETTLE BIG CANAL QUESTION.
Agreement Between Great Britain and
America Reached.

America Reached.
Another step in the construction of the,
Nicaraguan canal was taken Monday,
when Lord Pauncefote and Secretary
Hay signed treaty revoking that portion
of the Clayton-Bulwer convention which
prohibits the Government of the United
States from constructing a waterway
across the isthmus The agreement pro
vides in substance as follows: The United.
States Is granted the right to build and
control exclusively the waterway joining
the Atlantic and Pacific, and the provis-
ion of the Clayton Bulwer treaty provid
ing for joint control Is annuled. Neu-
trality of the canal is pledged by both CT
the signatory parties, both in times of
peace and war. The great maritime ma
tions will be asked TO pledge themselves
to the perseverance of the canals neutral
ity.
The present agreement was reachcdt
practically year ago, when 1t seemed'
certain that the private corporations that
had concessions for the canal would eo
compelled to relinquish the enterprise and
