Excuse me. doctor. I fear I shall

into the house.
That night the people were reused
by cries Of fire and shrill tones OF
alarm; the fire service was inefficient,
and the citizens lent helping hand.
No one was Drawer or more helpful
than the young doctor; he feared no
risk aud needed no caution.
In his attempt to save child from

"Is it fate or Providence?" though!
Helen, rs she offered to watch beside
him while her father summoned DR..
Goodspeed.
"What if he dies?" she moaned.
The doctor opened his eyes slowly.
What made him so weak? Why this
pain in his arm? Ho could not move it.
Where was he? Was that Helen
Clark? He could hear the noise OF
the firemen outside, and it dawned
upon him that he must be hurt. Helen
was approaching the couch, He closed
his eyes, hardly daring to trust his
vision.
She knelt beside him. The blood
surged through his body and strength
returned to every muscle as he felt
her lips touch his and her hand upon
his brow. The closed eyes opened
and met hers.
"Oh, you are not dead; I was SO
afraid you would never open your
eyes and would never know" and
she hid her face in her hands.
He tried to rise, but sank back with
pain.
Don't move" she cried. "You
are hurt. DIR. Godspeed will soon be
here"
He stretched out his injured arm
and drew her to him.
"Helen, is it possible you love
me?"
The touch of her lips upou his was
| the answer, but it meant more thar
| words.
"And you have been so cruel to me
all these days. I thought you almost
hated me-"
"Forgive me; I loved you all the
time, but was too proud to own it,"
The task Of forgiving was beauti
! full.

Partial shade For Lilies.

Lily beds should be protected either
by shrubbery or so situated that tho
buildings furnish the necessary shade.
1t is always possible to protect tho
beds by means of little lattice roof
ing six feet above the plants. 1t is
an excellent plan to put up q light
frame around the bed, covering with
very light, open cloth which can be
used for shade in very hot weather.
This will not only prolong the flower

with a dibble, putting the plants on

watered too much they will not grow

Why Sheep Are Profitable.

Henry Stewart, than whom there is
no better authority, says: "The sheep
possesses less degree of nervous en-
ergy than the horse, OK. or pig, but it
is capable of enduring greater e1-
tremes of heat aud cold with less in
convenience, and possesses more
vigorous digestion than those animals.
The most of its nervous energy is ex-
pended in digestive and assimiiating
functions, and the least proportion
upon its sensitive and locomotive
organs. None OF our domestic animals
SO completely digests coarse fodder,
or so thoroughly and profitably turns
the most nutritious food into flesh and
fat, as the sheep. In this respect it
is the most valuable and profitable
feeder the farmer can make use of. !"

Hints For the Horticulturist.

Stem plants of the currant and
other hardy plants may be made when
wood is mature in autumn, and plant
ed at once.
But fall planted cuttings must be
mnlched lightly to prevent frost heav-
ing.
Cuttings should be made at least six
inches long.
Grating consists in placing to-
gether two portions of plant or of
different plants containing living CAM
blum, in such way that their cam
blum parts are maintained in intimate
contract.
The layer Of cells between the bark
and the wood is called the cambium or
cambium layer.
A stolen is branch that starts
above or at the surface of the ground,
and grows PROSTATE until it roots,
usually at the node.
A layer is an artificial stolen-a
branch made to bend down and root.
The cion is portion of the dormant
stem, of the variety it is desired to
propagate.
Cions are usually cut in autumn
or in mild winter weather, packed in
moist moss OF leaves, and stored in q
cool cellar.
Four parts rosin, two parts bees
wax, and one part beef tallow is the
formula for grating wax.
Pruning the Roses.
Like the garden OF several genera.
tons ago, the one at present is not
complete without roses. Though our
grandmothers had, save in exception
ally favored nei9hborhoods, scarcely
more than half dozen varieties, the
number uowis almost legion. Yet de-
spite the countless varieties, the deli
cate coloring, the faultless form, for
the busy woman who may not always be
able to give the special care required
by the choicer sorts, the old-fashioned
damask rose still reigns with charms
undiminished. Roses are gross feed
ers, and it is perhaps due to that
fact that in alden times they often
stood near the kitchen door, thereby
getting the benefit of the weekly
suds, that they owed a portion of
their thrift. Renew the soil from
time to time by well-rotted COW ma
nure.
June roses need pruning but once
a year, and this is best done in spring,
as soon as the vigor of the different
sprouts can be determined. Cut back
the wood one-half and thin out the
weaker shoots, In trimming. use a
sharp knife or pruning shears. Hand
shears, especially for pruning are very
useful in many ways for keeping the
lawn in order. The moss roses, in
red, pink and white. are among the
best hardy sorts. Best because they
ire decidedly handsome when just
about to expand; also, because by ty.
ing their sepals together just before
the flowers expand, they dry beauti.
