Extremely Delicate scales.

The most delicate pair of scales in
the United States are in the treasury
departments bureau of weights and
measures. So delicate are these scales
that they will weigh accurately a ten
millionth part of gram. They are
so sensitive that the warmth given
off the body of person approaching
them near enough to open the glass
case or to shift the weights would
expand the balance arms and produce
an appreciate error in the results.
Therefore they have been so con-
structed that they may be operated
at a distance of 20 feet. The readings
are made through a small telescope.

AN ENGLISH ROMANCE.
Married q Rich Girl and Won
Army Commission.

Basil Longwood awoke one morn
ing to find that he was a pauper. His
elder brother, upon whom the title
had descended and who had been
named as his guardian to care for his
property and give him an income
each year, was hopeless bankrupt.
Investigation showed that were the
estate sold it would pay but a small
amount of the debts that the brothe.-.
had incurred, and that the patrimony
which Basil's father had left him had
been squandered.
Not a single farthing of the for
tune which Basil had once thought
his own could he claim. His brother
had not only brought ruin upon the
family name, but disgrace as we'll,
and to none of his former friends
would Basil go for help.
Basil went to London, and for
weeks sought some sort of employ
ment. He could find nothing. Final
ly, when he was almost starving, he
had an opportunity to get situation
as driver of hansome cab, and &C.
copied at once.
For four years he drove the cab.
He had become somewhat embittered
and he refused to battle with destiny.
He said to himself that fate had con-
spired to drag him down from his
high position, and he would submit
One day, while driving in a street
running into Hyde Park, a phaeton
drawn by a pair of gray horses and
driven by young girl came crashing
into his cab, and threw him to the
pavement. He was picked up and
carried into a drug store, where it
was found he was badly hurt. The
young woman who had driven the
phaeton that had caused the acct
dent, sat by him and expressed her
sorrow for the unfortunate cab
driver.
When Basil was taken to the hos.
pital the young woman called upon
him there. Every day she came and
brought flowers and fruit and every
thing that could add to Basils com
fort. She would sit by his bedside
by the hour and read to him from
the books that he loved.
1t was some time before he found
courage to ask her name. When he
did it made him the more unhappy
She was Isabelle Narness, the daugh-
ter of the baronet. Basil could only

Timely Word of Caution.

In feeding skimmilk great care
must be exercised. The most common
mistake made in feeding separator
skimmilk is to feed too much of it. A
young calf from week to two weeks
old should not have over one to one
and half gallons day, and larger
calves two gallons day. The skim
milk should be warm and sweet. We
add to the skimmilk mixture of bran
and ground oats in equal parts by
weight. Put it into the milk for young
calves and as soon as they will take it
dry, give meal to calves in 81 separate
box in dry form. We also give them
some nice clover hay and keep the
calves as dry and comfortable as pos
sible.-Prof. H. H. Dean, Ontario Agri-
cultural College. ~ -.

PREPARING Soil for Satisfy.

The soils for satisfy should be rich,
but with well-rotted manure worked
deep and thoroughly. Upon the per-
feet condition of the soil depend the
straightness and smoothness of the
roots, there being tendency to
branch where fresh manure is applied.
The plants should be cultivated as
parsnips are. They are very hardy,
are not affected by frost, and may be
left in the ground all winter without
harm. But to have the roots ready for
use they should be dug in the fall and
stored away in soil or sand where the
temperature is low. If exposed to the
air the roots become shriveled and
tasteless, and are without value.
