Honqkonq First.

The Importance of the far east in
the commerce of the world at the pre-
sent time is strikingly illustrated by
this statement, made by the Bureau of
Statistics:
The port at which in 1903 was the
largest vessel-tonnage movement was
Hongkong. The total amount of the
tonnage of the vessels entering and
clearing from it was about twenty mill
lions, or, If Chinese junks engaged in
the foreign trade be included, more
than twenty-one millions. London is
second, with nineteen millions, fol-
lowed closely by Antwerp. The ton
mage of New York in 1904 was eigh-
teen millions.
Hongkong it may be remembered,
is free port at which many vessels
engaged in the Chinese, Japanese and
Australasian trade call. London
would head the list but for the fact
that often its vessels take part of their
cargo from another British port, as
Cardiff and receive their foreign
clearance at it.

Sunday Oyereatinq.

II it is desired to begin the week
refreshed and ready for labor, rested
In mind and body, the eating customs
of Sunday will have to be readjusted.
Have later breakfast, if desired, but
have then very light one, even if you
are hungry. Or if it must be hearty,
then do not upset your digestive habits
any more than may be avoided and
have but two meals on that day, and
eat no other. 1t would be far better
to have three light meals, lighter than
usual, If that could be arranged to fit
with the other household arrange
ments. The custom of noon dinner on
that day arises from the usual absence
of cook or maid at the later one, and
this may be unavoidable. Very well,
then: treat this as a rest day for7cook
and digestive apparatus as well as
from other labors; have hight break
fast, light dinner and chafing-dish
supper as near the ordinary hours OF
meals as possible, and remember as you
;lre going to take less exercise than
usual you demand lesser amount of
more easily digested food.-Helen

Cows and Their Feed.

An interesting reference is made to
successful COW feeding in a recent
bulletin of the Department of Agricul-
tire, by Prof. w. j. Spillman, from
which we take the following:
One of the cows is Is years old. and
Il still vigorous and healthy; she
breeds regularly, and gives milk
enough to make 1t profitable to retain
her in the herd. The writer has never
seen a thriftier, better kept herd of
cows. They are fed balanced rations
every day In the year. Every feed
consists of three parts. A portion of
Il is some succulent material-silage
In winter; and rye, timothy and clover,
corn, or peas and oats in the summer.
4 second portion consists Of dry hay
or fodder. This is used to give the
manure proper consistency, and adds
much to the convenience of caring for
.he cows. A third portion consists Of
mill products, Of which three kinds
are used-bran, oil meal, and gluten.
The proportion of concentrates fed
depends on the condition of the COW,
and is regulated by the flow Of milk
and the consistency of the manure.
The soiling crops are used as fol-
lows: Green rye, beginning about
May /, and continuing about four
weeks, or until the rye is ready to
cut for hay. Then timothy and clover
are fed till peas and oats are ready
When the latter is cut for hay, the
silo is opened (about July ~, and ST.
lage is fed TIL early corn (planted
May 81 is ready. Enough early corn
Is planted (about one-fourth acre) to
last till late corn (planted about June
z2) is ready. Late corn Is then fed
till 1t is time to put 1t in the silo.
From this time forward silage is fed
daily till green rye is available In the
spring. No abrupt change is ever
made in the system Of feeding. Even
the change from green corn TO silage
II made gradually.

ly visit at the little house just on the
highroad; h.. 70 our surprise, there
was no late-capped, black-clad figure
to greet US at the door, as was the
general rule.
"She may have forgotten, and he

sudden feeling of foreboding seized
me; and, fearing know not what, we
silently entered the tiny hall. All
was silent, and we stood, hesitating.
not knowing exactly what to do.
At that moment, Miss Lavender's
little maid-of-all-work appeared at the
top of the narrow stairs and one looF
at her frightened face was enough tc
tell us something gravely wrong had
occurred.
What is it? What has happened?
Molly asked, anxiously, and it was
only after many inherent speeche.
and much lamentations we learned
that Miss Lavender had been seized
with one of those attacks which
Lillian had so dreaded for her, and 1t
was with difficulty the little maid mad
managed to help her mistress to a
couch and revive her from a death
like swoon.
Our appearance on the scene could
not have been more opportune. and be-
fore another hour had passed we had
got little, old Miss Lavender" COM
fortably into bed. and the doctor had
come and gone again.
His verdict was grave one, and re-
suited, though much against Miss La
vendors wishes, in a wire being sent
Immediately to her niece.
'It is such a pity" the quavering,
old voice whispered, as l bent down
to catch her words; there was to have
been a dinner party tonight, and
Lillian will miss it all now. really
think we might have waited till the
morning." she added, so family tina; l
could barely catch the words.
1t was only two hours later that
Lillian arrived, and, though she had
travelled as fast as possible, and sue
ceeded in catching an earlier train
than we had hoped, she was just In
time to be recognized by her aunt;
and it was in the girls arms the low
ing heart, which had always cared
and thought for her, ceased to beat.
Poor Lillian was, indeed, alone in the
world now!
Our mother was as sweet as pos
sible and, of course, we all insisted on
the girl coming to us on an indefinite
visit; think each one of us tried to
share some of our pleasures and joys
with the forlorn little guest; and,
though she proposed, after some
weeks, returning to Mrs. De Voore, it
was only a half-hearted sort of an
idea, and none of us allowed it to be
entertained for a moment.
She has been with us year now,
and is almost like a sister-at least,
Molly and l feel so, though-let it be
whispered-Jack apparently does not.
"One never knows what may hap
pen," my fair sister remarked only
last night, in her oracular manner.
Stranger things have sometimes
occurred, and, if she were to become
our sister in reality, I, for one, would
give her a warm welcome"
"And so should l." l responded,
heartily. as an energetic puff from
my sister blew the candle out, and
sprang hastily into bed.

Depending Upon Leeumes.

Il Is now pretty generally settled
that such plants as crimson clover,
COW peas, velvet beans and the like
have she power to draw nitrogen from
the air and hold it so that 1t may be
transferred to the soil by the process
Of blowing the plants under. OF
course this can only be brought about
after the soil has been inoculated'
with the bacteria peculiar to the sew
eral legumes. Having fairly well un-
derstood this, many farmers have
jumped to the wild and wrong conclu-
sion that in any of the legumes they
had the power of supplying the bulk
of the fertilizers needed by growing
CROPS. One farmer remarked In pub
lie that IL the nitrogen could be sup
piled In this way, and the soil already
contained preponderance Of potash,
as scientists said it did, then mini
mum quality of phosphoric acid only
was needed to complete the chain. OF
course, this is an absurd view. The
potash Is there, undoubtedly, but we
know it can be brought into action
and made available only by plant cul-
tiYation. Then, too, those who have
tried It know that the best results in

The working of the child-mind, the
quaint, homely wisdom and shrewd-

interesting. Take the case OF the re-
