done her first instinct had been to fly,
and she found her way by the pale
light of the moon across the bleak
moor to Shagshaft castle. What could
Mrs. Cross do but promise to try and
hide her There was part of the cas-.
tie which neither man nor woman for
many miles round dare visit, for, from
time immemorial, it had been stead
tasty believed to be haunted by the
ghost of a former lady of Shagshaft,
And so she had unlocked the secret
chamber which none save she knew
Of, and Maud Moray had taken up
her abode there. To increase the awe
with which that part Of the castle was
already looked upon by the rustics,
she now and then walked upon the
battlements at night clad in white
gown.

PRODUCING Food Quality.

- Much poor milk, cream and butter
is produced because of dirty utensils.
Careful methods in drawing the milk
and in properly cooling it are set at
naught if the milk is strained into an
unclean can and allowed to remain
there. 1t is not necessary that the
dirt be present in sufficient quantities
to be seen by the naked eye in order
to render the can unfit for use. After
it has been cleaned and dried the tin
should have a clean, dry appearance
and should not be greasy to the
touch. A greasy coating on the in
terror of a milk can will spoil milk or
cream in very few hours. 1t doesn't
cost any more to keep the utensils
clean and the results obtained are
more satisfactory.

STRIPPlNGS.

Do not let the COWS get hungry and
uneasy. Give them their esilage and
grain and plenty of hay.
Upon every farm where animals are
kept for profit there should be place
provided for sick animals.
A man may be wise and not know
it. and again he may think he is wise
and still be awfully mistaken.
1t is a very poor COW that will not
respond to good care, generous feed
ing and comfortable surroundings.
Place salt where the cows can help
themselves daily. They are the best
judges of the amount they should
have. A lump of rock salt placed in
a box in the yard is the best way to
do this.

Embroidered Linen Now Is the Most
Popular.

Embroidered linen is lovely, but
take care that it is shaped well, and
not bulky when drawn about the
waist. If a woman has an antique
metal buckle especially if it be set
in cabuchon stones of some sort)
nothing could be prettier with linen
girdle. Kid has been done to death
in cheap belts and has little syle un-
less very well modelled. White silk
betting is as good, both in point of
taste and modishness as anything,
and many qualities wash well. so it is
not extravagant.
French makers OF linen gowns and
suits almost always provide with the
gown a crush belt of linen, boned to
fit and ornamented with large, linen
covered buttons. This gives special
finish to a gown, and is wonderfully
good with all white frocks. High belts
Of matching taffeta are chic with col
