The Tent Caterpillar.

There is one matter to which We wish
to call the attention Of our farmers, and
that is the destruction of the tent cat
erpillars. Now is the time of year to do
this work. Say what we please about
orchard pests, in the long run it will be
found that this one is about the worst
of all. Very fortunately they are al
ways exposed to view and at this season
are very easy to destroy. Their nests
will be found side of the road in all sorts
of trees and bushes and should be ex-
terminated there as we'll as in the fruit
trees. An ounce Of prevention is worth
pound of cure and an hours work
now will save many day later on as
we'll as secure finer harvest of apples.
We again urge our farmers to attend to
this matter and to do 30 at once. De-
stroy every nest on the farms of Maine
and it will add 100000 to the wealth of
our state this year.

CHAPTER XVI.

T. lord NENTNOR was no lOoi.
While Iris was transforming
herself from a semiSavage con-
ditiOn into q semblance of an
ultra chic Parisienne, Sir Arthur
Deane told the earl something of the
state Of affairs Oh the island.
His lordship, handsome, saturnine
man, cool. insolently polite, counseled
patience, liberation, even silent recog-
milton of Anstruther's undoubted
claims for services rendered.
"She is an enthusiastic, high spirited
girl" he urged upon his surprised hear
er, who expected very different ex-
preston of opinion. This fellow An
struther is a plausible sort Of rascal,
good man in tight place, too-Just the
sort of fire eating blackguard who
would fill the heroic bill where fight
is concerned. Hang him, he licked me
twice!'
Further amaZement for the shipowE-
er.
"Yes, it's quite true. l interfered
the usual reward of the devils apothe-
cary. Leave Iris alone. At present
she is strung up to an intense pitch OF
gratitude. having barely escaped ter
rblc fate Let her come back to the
normal. Anstruthers shady record
must gradually leak out. That will dis
gust her He is hard up-cut off by his
peoDe and that sort of thing. There
you probably have the measure or his
scheming He knows quite well that
he can never marry your daughter. 1t
| is all matter Of price"
Sir Arthur willingly allowed himself
to be persuaded. At the back of his
head there was an uneasy conscious
nc$.; that it was not "all matter OF
price" If 1t were he would never
trust mans face again. But Vent
nor's well balanced arguments swayed
| hin. The course indicated was the
only Cecent one. 1t was humanity i'm
possil e for man to chide his daugh-
ter and liout l.cr rescuer within an hour
of finding them.
Lord Ventnor played his cards with
a deeper design. He bowed to the IN
evitable. Iris said she loved his rival.
Very well. To attempt to dissuade
her was to throw her more closely into
that rivals arms. The right course
was to appear resigned, saddened, conf
pel!ed against his will to reveal the
distressing truth. Further. he counted
on Anstruther's quick temper as an
| active agent. Such man would be
the first to rebel against an assumption
of pitying tolerance. He would bring
bitter charges of conspiracy, OF un-
believable compact to secure his ruin.
All this must recoil OH his own head
when the facts were laid bare. Not
even the hero of the island could pre-
vail against the terrible indictment or
tie court martial. Finally. ut Singa-
pore, three days distant. Colonel Co.'S
tobell and his wife were staying. Lord
Yentnor, alone of those on board. knew
tliis. Indeed, he accompanied Sir Ar
thur Deane largely in order to break
Off Il somewhat trying ENHANCEMENT.

of the effect Oh Iris of Mrs. COstobelrs

girl all that had happened at Hong

good fellows crowding around him and
Offering every attention that the frank
hospitality of the British sailor could
suggest to permit them to adopt the
tone of friendly equality which rigid

low them to maintain.
The first lieutenant by reason Of his
rank was compelled to say something.

The first lieutenant again phrased
the thoughts of his juniors.
II and every other man in the ship
cannot help but sympathize with you.
But whatever may be your record-if
you were an escaped convict, Mr.. An
struther-no one could withhold from
you the praise deserved for your mag
nificent stand against overwhelming
odds. Our duty is plain. We will bring
you to Singapore, where the others will

good enough to acquaint Us with. Me;in-

\ murmLl of appreciation ran
through the lih .e circle. Roberts face
paled somewhat. What first rate chaps
they were, to he sure.
Il can only thank yOu," he said un-
steadily. Your Kindness is more try
ing than adversely"
A rustic of silk, the intrusion into the
intent knot of men of a young lady In
a Paris gown, Paris Lat. carrying
Trouville parasol and most eXquisitely
gloved and booted, made every one
gasp.
"Oh. Robert, dear, how could you?
actually didn't know you..'
Thus Iris, bewitchingly attired, was
gazing now with provoking admiration
at Robert, who certainly offered almost
as great contrast to his former state
as did the girl herself. He returned
her look with interest.
Would any man believe" he laugh
ed, that clothes would do so much for
.woman?
What a left handed compliment!
But come, dearest. Captain Fitzroy
and Lord Ventnor have come ashore
with father and me. They want us to
show them everything. You Will ex-
cuse him. won't you?" she added, with
a seraphic smile to the others.
They walked off together.

The Farm as an Investment.

There is no place where family can
be provided with good home and main
tanned on so small an investment of
capital as on a farm. This fact OF
course holds out no advantage to that
class of people who have ample means
to maintain a home and meet its de-
mauds wherever they may choose TO
locate. At the same time there is a
great majority of the heads of families
who have to closely count the cost OF
home and struggle hard and figure close
ly TO meet its demands. 1t is to this
class that the low cost farms of New
England, and especially of this state,
appeal with marked force. In taking
this position and making this claim we
are considering the advantages of the
farm from only the one point taken for
a title TO this article, the small invest
ment required for securing large
measure of home necessities. There are
other advantages IN large measure IN
separably connected with home on
farm, and second in Importance only to
the necessities of life, that surely, GER
tainly and in bounty go with country
life, and that carry measure OF value
that cannot be set down in dollars. But
these are all left out of consideration in
this reckoning. 1t is the large measure
of the necessities of life that easily go
with the small investment called for in
the possession of a good home on farm
that we would in this connection hold
ND to the attention of home seekers.
Nothing compared to ii is to be found
elsewhere than in the country farm.
An important feature in comparison
between a home in town with one on a
farm is the fact that on the farm every
member of the family finds useful em-
ployment that will contribute to the
necessities and comforts of the home,
and thus in measure relieve the per-
petual grind on the head OF the family
when located in town.
Another fact of importance is that In
the country if any member OF the family
wishes for 4 time to work for wages
there is always opportunity, and at
wages that net more To the worker than
in town. Such is now the demand for
help in the country that there is always
opportunity for capable workers, male
or female, at any time. Hence we re-
peat that nowhere can so much be
secured on a small investment at the
present time as on farm out in the
Icountry.-Maine Farmer.

pupyrus Books.

Early writer's made use of linen or
cotton fabrics. OF skins and even OK
scales of fishes for writing. For long
period papyrus was used, the books
being made in rolls, being about one
and one half feet wide and sometimes
fifty feet long. Papyrus was flag or
burush, growing eight or ten feet
high. found In the marshes of Egypt;
from its inner pith the form of paper
called papyrus was made. Papyrus
sheets were neatly joined. attached 10
stick and rolled upon il (whence we
have our word "volume," from the
Latin volvere, to rOlD. The titles
were written on tags attached to the
sticks or Inscribed OH the outside or
the rolls. The rolls were kept In
round wooden boxes resembling the
old fashioned bandboxes and could
easily be carried about.

A Balanced Ration.

By balanced ration We mean ration
or feed which has in it the elements
necessary to yield large amount of
good milk. In good May or June
pasture we have balanced ration OF
natures making. That is one reason
why fresh cows always do their best in
Nav and June. 1t is not the only rea-
son, for in these months the fly does
not trouble, and otherwise conditions
are at their best. Many farmers fall
down by not feeding balanced ration.
They expect their cows to work miracles,
to make bricks without straw, to pro-
vide milk without having the proper
raw materials. We have abundant ex-
amples of cows being picked up by the
Experiment stations, notably in Kansas,
just common country cows, that when
brought to the college and properly fed
prove to be exceptionally profitable
mixers. They were not profitable on
the farm, because the farmer did not
give them a chance, did not feed them a
balanced ration.
This balanced ration is not some new
tangled scientific notion gotten up by
agricultural papers, colleges and expert
ment stations, but just plain, every
day, common sense, practical propo-
sition. 1t is just giving the COW what
she needs for the work she has on hand,
lust as our grandmothers gave US pork
and beans-the pork furnishing the
carbohydrates and the beans the albu-
minoids; just as they give us bread and
butter, the bread furnishing the albu-
minoids, the butter the carbohydrates;
Just as they give us roast beef and pota-
toes, the beef furnishing the flesh-fOrm-
ers, the potatoes the carbohydrates;
Just as they give us good old-fashioned
New England boiled dinner, which has
in it about everything you can think of
some meat, potatoes, turnips, parsnips,
cabbage, carrots-all going to the right
spot-the cheapest and best dinner that
a man can get at q restaurant.
Now We must apply this same COM
mon sense to the feeding of dairy cows,
if they are to be profitable. There is
nothing better than good pasture aud its
grasses during May and June. There is
nothing better during the winter than
corn silage with alfalfa and clover hay.
The one question which dairy farmers
and all other farmers must study with
increased diligence during the years to
come is what constitutes balanced
ration, or tue ration that goes to the
right spot and does the business.-Prod-
uce Review.

with the sight of Iris and her father
ind the happy, inconsequent demands
with which each sought to ascertain
and relieve the extent of the others

Then Iris called to him:

owe you my daughters life l owe you
that which can never repay. And
owe you my own life, too, for could not
have survived the knowledge that she
was dead"
Robert took the proffered hand.
81 think, Sir Arthur, that of the two
am the more deeply indebted. There
are some privileges whose value CAN
not be measured, and among them the
privilege of restoring your daughter to
your arms takes the highest place"
Then he turned to Iris.
81 think" he said, that your father
should take you on board the Orient,
Iris. There you may perhaps find
some suitable clothing, eat something
and recover from the exciting events
of the morning. Afterward you must
bring Sir Arthur ashore again, and we
will guide him over the island. l am
sure you will find much to tell him
meanwhile"
The baronet could no. fail to note
the manner In which these two ad-
dressed each other, the fearless love
which leaped from eye to eye. the calm
acceptance of a relationship not to be
questioned or gainsaid. Robert and
Iris, without spoken word on the sub
ject, had tacitly agreed to avoid the
slightest semblance Of subterfuge as
unworthy alike of their achievements
and their love.
"Your suggestion is admirable" cried
Sir Arthur. ''The ships stores may
provide Iris with some sort Of rig-out,
and an old friend Of hers is on board at
this moment, little expecting her pres
ence. Lord Ventnor has accompanied
me in my search. He will, Of course,
be delighted"-

net. of course, knew all the principal
officers of the Sirdar. He surveyed
these mournful relics with sorrowful
interest

may well imagine, Mr.. Anstruther.
what cruel blow it was to lose such
vessel, with all these people on board
and my only daughter among them.

"She was splendid sea boat. sir.
Although disabled, she fought gallant
ly against the typhoon. Nothing short
of reef would break her up
"Ah, WELL" sighed the .shipowner,
"the few timbers you have shown me
here are the remaining assets out OF
100000"
WAS she not insured?" inquired
Robert.
"No-that is, have recently adopted
a scheme Of mutual self insurance. and
the loss falls pro rata Oh my other YES
sels.'
The baronet glanced cOvertly at Iris.
The words conveyed little meaning to
her. Indeed, she broke In with
laugh:
81 am afraid | have heard you say,
father dear, that some ships in the
fleet paid you best when they ran
ashore"
"Yes, Iris. That often happened in
the old days. 1t is different now.
Moreover, have not told You the ex-
tent Of my calamities. The Sirdar was
lost on March lS. though l did not
know II for certain until this morning.
But on March % the Bahadur was
sunk in the Mersey during fog, and
three days later the Jemadar turned
turtle on the James and Mary shoal in
the Hooghly. Happily there were no
lives lost I'm either Of these cases"
Iris was appalled, by this list Of casu-
alties. yet she gave no thought to the
serious financial effect of such string
of catastrophes. Robert, OF course, APP
preciated this side of the business, espe-
cially in view of the shipQwner's re-
mark about the insurance. But Sir
Arthur Deanes stiff upper lip deceived
him. He failed to realize that tie IA
thcr was acting Il part for his daugh-
ter's sake.
Oddly enough, the baronet did not
seek to discuss with them the legal
looking document affixed near the cave
1t claimed all rights in the island in
their joint names. and this was topic
he wished to avoid. For the time,
therefore. the younger man had no OPP
portunity Of taking him into his con-
fidence, and Iris held faithfully TO her
promise Of silence.
