She looked up and down the road,
but saw no one lettering about. She
walked UP the street in the direction
of Remington Park Road; little
way below The Pinery she passed the
corner of a quiet and dimly-lighted
road.
She saw a man standing back in the
shadow by the wall of the corner
house, and her heart began to beat.
She thought it was the same man
she had seen by the lamp-post earlier
in the evening, and she quickened her
pace.
AS she did SO the man crossed the
road and followed her.
She walked more rapidly still. The
footsteps behind her were quickened
at the same time.
Determined to set her troubles at
rest, she made a sudden resolve.
She turned and faced the danger.

his hat.

Everyone has seen pet birds kept
captive in garden, park or menag-
erie, and many of us while watching
an interesting bird have ventured the
remark: why doesn't it fly away?
suppose it's wings must be cut?''
though it is quite obvious that this is
the case even when the wings are
closed. Sometimes a bird will stand
bolt upright, open it's wings and COM
mence to flap them dozen times or
SO, then, lowering itself to its normal
walking position, it will close them
and shuttle them into comfort among
the feathers of it's breast and back,
concluding the whole performance by
short but energetic wagging of the
tail. When the wings are thus ex-

The Lamb in Winter.-The lamb
that comes in winter requires a good
deal Of attention for few days, to
make sure that it is not chilled. Many
sheep sheds on American farms are
not adapted to the coming Of lambs
out of season. If the sheds are close
and warm and the eve owns her
lamb, the little one will usually get
on well after the first few days. A
shepherd says that if the eve refused
to lap her lamb dry, the shepherd
should take a whisk of hay and do the
work the mother should have done
An old piece of dry flannel is best
for this purpose. He should be put
to the teat as soon as possible, and II
he does not take hold readily the
milk should be started for him.

The following formula is a never
failing remedy for coughs or colds:
Two ounces of glycerine, one-half
ounce of Concentrated oil of pine
one half pint of good whisky, mix and
shake thoroughly each time and use
in doses of a teaspoonful to table
spoonful every four hours.
This, if followed up, will cure any
cough that is durable or break up

drug store.
Concentrated oil of pine comes put
up for medicinal uses only in half
ounce Walls sealed in air tight cases de-
signed to protect it from heat and
light. Other oils of pine are insoluble
and are likely to produce nausea and
cannot give the desired results.

Wings Closed; Clipping Not Discern

detrimental to the birds health, as it
certainly is to it's comfort. In one
or two instances / have observed the
flight feathers cut so closely to the
feshy part of the wing that the bird
must have suffered great pain during
and after the operation-such pain,
probably, as we experience when we
cut our finger nails to the quick. Now,
besides the inconvenience cruelty, |
consider it-thus caused, there is an
other thing very much against this
general clumsy method of clipping
the wings, viz, the unsightliness of
the bird, both when it's wings are eX-
tended and closed. When closed, the
uncut wing appears as nature in
tended, resting lightly upon the back
and tail feathers, while the other wing
shows none of it's long feathers at all.
This gives an irritating lop-sided ap-
pearance to the bird.
I would like now to make a sugges-
ton which I believe to be entirely
new and which will practically do
away with this Disagreement and at
the same time reduce the air-resisting
surface of the wing to about the same
extent as does the usual method of
climbing. Moreover. 1T will allow the

Our Sunday Schools.

It requires no prolonged meditation
for one to see that the Sunday school
is among the most important features
of our church organization. Is there
not every reason for our putting forth
our strongest effort to make our sun
day schools as attractive and as help
full as possible? The young people OF
our county are bright and wide-awake.
The State and county are doing all in
their power to educate them. The
schools for secular education are being
made more and more attractive all the
time. Now while the State and coun-
ty are pressing the matter OF secular
education what is the church doing
for religious education? These young
people can be attracted to our Sun
day schools il we only find the way to
do it. Friends of all denominations,
let us consider, with all care, this
problem of the best methods OF Sun
day school work. A professor at Yale
University has recently declared, that
"the ignorance of college students OF
Biblical literature is universal, pro-
found, and complete" Every year
there are many young men and young
women who are going out OF our coun-
ty to college or university, how is
their record going to be as regards and
this ignorance of Biblical literatureY
Lord Macaulay said that no English
speaking man had right to be called
an educated man who was not fami-
liar with his English Bible.
For the great majority of our COM
ing generation there is only one place
to become familiar with the Bible and
that is in our Sunday schools. Can
we not have a more serious study OF
our Sunday school lessons? Can we
not arrange for county convention
in which Sunday school work can be
discussed and plans made for the bet
terment of all the schools in our coun-
ty? l trust we can unite all denomina-
tons in some county convention
where we may make arrangements or
plans for quickening an interest IN
Sunday school work. Will not every
pastor in Accomac county help in this
matter and urge its Importance upon
his Sunday schools; especially the
superintendent and teachers. have
been in the county two years only and
hence am not acquainted with all OF
the ministers and but few of the lay
men, yet am earnestly hoping that
there will be full cooperation through
out the county of both ministers and
laymen in this exceedingly important
work of the Sunday school. My servl-
ces are offered, if our leaders can use
them, for the help Of this great cause.
Friends think, pray, and act for the
greatest good of our Sunday schools.
Respectfully,
Henry W. Davis.
