POULTRY POINTERS.

Early Matched pullets make the best
winter layers.
One of the most beneficial foods for
poultry is linseed meal.
The laying hens like a variety not
only in the soft food, but in the grain.
The guinea fowl is a great forager
and destroys many insects that hens
win not touch.
The hens will lay better and be better
contented if supplied with a box of
fine dry earth for dust bath
The Leshorns are popular with those
who Go not desire to raise chicks, they
being nonsitters and good layers.
Poultry farming doesn't take a great
deal Of land. but with good manage
ment the harvest comes every day.
In arranging the perches in the poul-
try house have them far enough away
from the doors and windows to avoid
drafts.
Soaked lime placed in the drinking
water will often cure hens of laying
ahelless eggs unless it is a disease Of
the egg passage, as is sometimes the
case.

structure. to which a singular tradi-
ton is attached. The story is that
a person named Cook about a CEN
tury ago was told by a gypsy in the
Leigh woods that his only son would
be. killed by a serpent before he
reached the age. of 81. To avert this,
he built a high tower, and shut his
son in the topmost room, with the
intention of secluding him there I'M
til the fatal age was past. How
ever, by accident, a viper was taken
up in faggot and bit the boy so
that he died. Therefore, the tower
was called Cooks Folly, and that is
its name to this day, whatever is the

at having been caught reading the

the voice, CONSERVATION slew shame,

dash for liberty. For Miss Farnham
was no other than the young wom-
an to whom he had given place at
the teller's window in the Bayou
bank.
She saw his confusion, OWNED the
first cause of it and smiled. Then
he met her gaze fairly and became
sane again when he made sure that
she did not recognize him-became
sane, and snatched off his cap and
dragged the trunk into the state
room; after which he went to his
place with a great thankfulness
throbbing in his heart and an in
choate resolve shaping itself in his
brain.
Late that night, when the Belle
Julie was well on her way to- the

upon the freight on the engine-room

THE. SCOTCH REGALIA RING.
Treasured Among the Royal
-. Jewels of Scotland

The traditional history of the
Scotch regalia ring is of the most
tragic, not to say melancholy, char
acter.' It is believed that it was the
favorite ring of Mary Stuart, and
that, after her judicial murder in
Fotheringay, Castle, it was transmit
ted to her son, says Good Words.
l., at whose coronation at Scone in
1853 it played a distinct part Once
more did this Inflated ring figure at
an untimely and ill-merited death;
for, with almost his last breath upon
the scaffold at Whitehall, Charles be-
queathed it to Bishop Juxon in trust
for his son. In due course of time
the ring came into the possession of
James H., and was carried away with
him on his fight to the continent.
When, however, he was detained by
the fishermen at Sheerness, the ring,
which had been secreted in the
kings underclothing, only escaped
robbery by the luckiest of mistakes
on the part of the sailor who
searched him. Thus the ring was
passed on uninjured to James de-
scendants, till, by the bequest of
Cardinal York.: it became the prop
erty of the reigning dynasty once
more, and was by them replaced
among the royal jewels of Scotland.
from which it had been separated for
many long year.

CHAPTER v.

For an hour after his ventursome
return to the bank Griswold tramped
up and down the levee, and the end
of it found him still, undecided as
to the manner and direction of his
flight.
The hour had-not been altogether
triumphant The partition which is
the dividing line between a life Of
semi-vagrancy. and a life of crime is
tenuous enough; and any hot-heart-
ed one may break through it at will.
But to be a vagrant indeed, one must
first be a vagrant at heart; and Girls
void was far enough from this, now
or at any time; so far from it that
the cl; ms of his transformed identi-
ty were already beginning to gall
him. 1t was to little purpose that
he girded at his computations, tell
ing himself that one needs must
when the devil drives. Custom,
habit, or whatsoever it may be which
distinguishes the law-abiding from
the 1awless, would have its say; and
from railing bitterly at the social
conditions which made his act at
once necessity and crime, he
came presently to loathing the sub
terfuges to which the crime had
driven him.
Moreover, mingled with the loath-
ing was growing fear that he
might not always be able to play
consistently the double role whose
lines were already becoming intri-
cate, and confusing. To be true to
his mission, he must continue to be-
in utter sincerity. Griswold the
brother-lovipg. To escape the con-
sequences of his act, he must hold
himself in instant readiness to be in
ruthless earnest what common
