Hoard's Dairyman tells Of two men
who took q COW census. In Peunsyi'
yania twenty-five farmers who were
patrons OF creameries averaged a net
profit OF $500 per year for each COW
while twenty-five more made q profit
OF G5 cents per cow. In Indiana the
best six out OF nifty averaged S2i.O0
per COW per year. Il is fair 20 as.
sumo that these best cows were worth
from S45 To SEQ. Consequently It ap.
pears that it takes a good COW 10 pay
an annual profit equal to one-third OF
her value.
Wallace's Farmer has given through
its columns the records OF farmers
iocks OF grade chickens that paid q
clear profit Of a dollar per hen. n
put up at public sale many OF these
chickens would have sold from $500
to 5000 per dozen. Il would seem
that the average hen. under average
conditions. will give a profit OF twice
her value. where the average COW.
under average conditions. will pay a
profit Of about one-third her value.
When we consider the difference in
the moun Of money invested we
wonder that farmers are so slow In
giving the hen her due.

As he approached, Jean looked up at

PERFUME FROM ALOE TREE.

Crest Value.
The aloe wood tree Is a native OF
the mountains east and southeast OF
sylhet. In Burmah, and in Bengal. Il
Is valuable on account OF a dark resi-
nous aromatic juice with which the
wood ia sometimes gorged. This
resin or aga as Il Is coilOqulally
termed. Is used for ifs perfume and
supposed medicinal properties. Il Is
very costly and IS used both for In.
cense In religious aud other cere-
monials and also In the preparation OF
a perfume called agar altar which is
practically as costly as altar OF roses.
The most Interesting feature Ia con-
neetion with the aloe wood tree Is the
uncertainty as TO whether any par
ticular tree will be found 10 contain
the precious resin. A tribe OF hill
men known 10 the natives as agar
kumlahs make Il their business 10

trade Is a secret which they always

Paris. In the year 1890. and the gar
don of the Tulleries bright with the
sunshine OF an autumnal day. Two
boys, seated in the grass near a path
not far from one Of the ponds. were
playing with a turtle they had cap
tured.
The humble origin OF the elder, a
lad OF thirteen. was evidenced by
those physical signs which are usu-
ally associated with people Of his
class: but the other, three years
younger. bore all the indications OF
gentle birth. His sire was a baron Of
the 'ancien regime" while Pierre's
father had been a peasant. and bis
widowed mother the faithful nurse OF
her who had lived but two months
after giving birth to the boy Jean,
whom Margot loved as her own
Pierre.
Presently there came along the
promenade a trio OF court g~aliants,
attired in the extreme OF the prevail
ing fashion. beruhied, bsJeNeled, and
perfumed. One Of them was a slen-
derby built young man. whose sharp
features, pale-blue eyes set closely to-
gether, thin lips. and weak chin, Y
ample proof of his nature and dispo-
sition.
A more striking contrast TO the
younger boy could not we'll be mag

The three courtiers paused In the
pathway; and Etienne, stepping
quickly W. the grass. gave the tur-
tie a weli-directed kick that sent it
splashing into the water.
He and his friends then laughed

She DO longer had Ellie to herself, peaceful and happy in the lit- tie old cottage, and with no one to inter- fore Ellie felt 1t all in a flash, and 'omehow, too. she felt the bruised heart of that other woman who had been all- in-all to her son for nearly thirty years, and now Ellie mad come and she was not all-in-all to him any more.

 You needn't run yourself down that way, Ellle," cried grandma. sharply, ready to fight for the child she loved. You know as much about housekeepin as anybody. should hope.''
 The storm was about to break again, but Ellie still tried to smile.
