| link In the endless chain of q child's
interrogations.
Please, wy DO they want to get uA-
| married2"
The face above her was white, the
arm about her trembled. The hus'
band studied the floor intently a few
| moments before answering, a frown
| gathering between his eyes and a lit
| tie droop of elf-scorn-pulline;
| down the corners of his mouth.
God knows" he said slowly, and
stared at the floor again.
A stentorian voice was intoning the
departure of the Philadelphia express,
and with a nervous start the woman
looked up from the child on her lap
to see the "lawyer-man" approaching
| them.
Pardon me for interrupting you,
but the little girl must be going now,"
he said, raising his hat and bowling.
The child clung silently to her new
friend before leaving, and in the wom-
ans eyes there we're hot tears, and
in her throat an aching dryness, as
she gave the upturned face a linger-
ing kiss and let her CO.
Her husband stood at her elbow as
lawyer and charge passed through
the doorway, the child twisting around
for last look. Would she rebuff him,
turning the low scorn of her eyes on
him? Had he been a fool to detect
any feeling for him in the whiteness
of her face as she bent over the child?
Would he only make himself ridicul-
Gus? The stubborn pride which had
helped to drive them so far apart
tingled at the notion. But wasn't 1t
worth the risk?
"Your train goes next" he reminded
her, watching her face intently. Il
want to go with you, Honora. or
course, | won't go if it is offensive to
you, but this is such wretched busi-
ness. Do you know what we are try
ing to do, dear? Can't we try each
other once more? l know I've been a
hidebound brute; it was just cursed
pride all through; but love you, dear,
and can't give you up. Let me come
with you, just part way if you like,
Honora, dear!"
In his heart he cursed the public
waiting room and passing people, fore.
ing him to stand like a miserable
automaton and cautiously humble the
words that came rushing into his mind.
Her hand touched his arm for an in
slant, her eyes looked into his, and
she turned toward him like weary
child.
ooh, no. she whispered back, sob
catching her voice. Il don't want to
go away, dear! Oh, my husband, I
want to go back with you! want to
go ome!"-Agnes Louise Provost, in
Woman's Home Companion.

LARGE Families In Great Britain.

In St. Botolph's church, Aldgate,
there is a monument to the memory
Of Agnes, widow of William Bond,
who bore him 16 children, eight boys
and eight girls"
That was in the spacious 18th cen
tury, but it is noteworthy that John
Gully, grandfather Of the late speak
er of the Commons. had "a children.
A year or two ago Northampton
shoemaker entered as his plea in the
police court that he was the father
of 80 children, of whom 27 were liv-
ing: while 20 years ago Chester
boasted of a couple who were "the
happy father and delighted mother Of
33 children" ten of them being alive
in 1890.
But the record In family numbers
belongs to Scotland. 1t is that Of a
Scotch weaver in the 10th century
whose wife bore him 62 children. Only
12 died in childhood, 46 sons and four
daughters living to be 21 and upward.

and absolutely authenticated. Sir

VALUE OF SKIM MILK,

The feeding value of skim milk to
calves or pigs depends much op what
the animals are to be used for. If one
is raising a fine bred pig or calf the
skim milk has a greater value than il
the animal is to go to the block. Fur.
ther, some skim milk is of such little
value that it ought not to be fed at all,
Indeed, it may be fairly said that il
the skim milk is not fresh and SWEEP
its main value is that of just so much
mixing fluid.
1t seems to those who have expert
mented with the feeding of skim milk
that it has its greatest value when
given to poultry; beyond a question il
is one Of the greatest egg producers
that can be fed either by itself or
mixed with bran and other meals
forming Il mash. Unless one has pigs
or calves that it is desired to raise to
add to the herd it is advised that the
bulk of the skim milk that is fresh and
sweet. go 10 the poultry; at least give
them all they will consume. By care.
full watch it will be seen that such
feeding is an economy, even though IL
did not largely increase the egg produc.
