Presently she dropped her eyes from the
wall and turned to him. She began a
sentence and then paused abruptly blood

sayed to draw her toward him. but she
turned sharply away, trembling and

His words were very sweet in her ears,
but the false pride that had tormented
her so long would not let her be happy
even now, at the crisis Of her life. She
drew herself away.
"You have seen the wives that all the
former Hastings have chosen-some mo-

Tears came into her eyes-large tears
that gathered and brimmed over, running
down the fair face and making it sad.

And Winifred sobbed with passionate
indignation at the remembrance of her

She felt then she had thrown away her
own life, her own happiness, and she
crouched down by the window uttering
great. gasping sobs of remorse and an
guish.
From that time Mr.. Hastings manner
TO her was changed. He was courteous
but in no wise different in his behavior
to her than to the other ladies who visit

he no longer cared for her. her love for

LEVELlNG TENDENCIES.
Members of the English Aristocracy
Have Gone Into Trade.

Members of the English Aristocracy
Have Gone Into Trade.
Americans cannot lay claim to being
the only people who now take the sen
sible view that no man is degraded by
engaging in a lawful business. Eng
land is coming round to the same way
of thinking. 1t is the aristocrats now
who serve many of the retail buyers
with groceries, vegetables, coal and
other necessarieS of life.
Lord Hampden is said to supply the
best cream cheese, and his carts, filed
with all the fresh dairy produce of his
farm in Sussex, go daily on their West
End routes.
Lord Londonderry will deliver half
a ton of coal with promptness. A grand
son Of William ~. prefers more retir-
ing method of meeting the demands of
his customers. Through the medium of
the post he sends out his packets of tea
all over the country.
Among the smaller shop-owners who
belong to the old aristocratic families
of England is Lord Harrington. who
opened a shop few years ago on his
London property, that he might sell
fruit and vegetables grown at Elvaston
Castle. The late Lord WinchiIsea was
the pioneer of the fresh vegetable GU
sadie which started the shop in Long
acre, where all kinds OF British farm
produce may be bought at the lowest
prices.
Lord PORTSMOUTH, has gone into the
mineral water trade, a bottling estab-
lishment for which he has started. The
restaurant business seems in high fa-
vor. Mr.. Algy Burke was one of the
first of the upper ten to put his ener-
gies into the management of a restau-
rant. He succeeded in making fashion
able the restaurant known as Willis
Rooms. Two other young men of gentle
birth have gone into the hotel business.
These are the brother of Lord Ire
vOr, and Mr.. Mostyn, of the family of
Lord VauX of Harrowden. They have
opened a hotel at a new watering-place.
Although the interest in millinery
shops owned and managed by society
women has somewhat abated, this field
of trade has found new workers. A man
well known in society is the latest mill
liner. He has taken a shop in Bond
street. a short distance from one over
Countess of Warwick" and under the
name of Camille he successfully carries
on his business Youth's Companion.

Agricultural Exports.

Our agricultural interests, which
have had the intelligent fostering OF

results. not only in greater production
and better quality, but in the unprece

Bone Meal for Cows.

Dairymen are looking into the ques-
ton of feeding their cows bone meal
as part OF the daily ration, in order
to supply lime and bone making ma
tcrial This same question is also in
terest>ng those who raise hogs in large
numbers. At this time few conclusive
experiments are on record. hence the
only advise that can be given is to try
the PLAY with both cows and hogs that
are fed largely on a corn ration, and
note the results. There is little doubt
but what results will be beneficial for
stock that consume considerable succu-
lent food, but the well balanced grain
ration ought TO give the desired results
with cows without resorting to the
bone meal experiment. AS rule, there
is too much feeding of bulk during the
winter and not enough variety in IKE
ration, and farmers win not get all
there is out of feedi'..; until they work
out for themselves one or more bal
anced rations for their herds.
