A sneering smile lowered about her
mouth.
This is a rare pleasure, Miss Went

uncommon must have happened to
make you honor me with a visit. Who
is your young friend?"
Dorcas laid her hand Upon Robins
shoulder and turned him gently so
he could face his mother.
This is your little boy" she said in
a low voice.
Zilla Paget sprang to her feet with
a cry Of rage. In a second she stood
at Dorcas' side. She turned the child's
face up to her own and stared at 1t.
The sightless eyes seemed to plead
and search for something they did not
find. Robin lifted his hands and
CROPPED till he caught his mothers fin
gers. She flung them aside angrily.

Dorcas grew white to the lips. Robin
was clutching at her in terror. She
put her arm about him, sheltering him
as a mother would have done.

PILGRIMS TRAVEL In STYLE
Pious Mohammedans on Their Way to
Medina and Mecca Have Com
Portable Surroundings.

Until a few years ago the trip from
Damascus to the Moslem holy city of
Medina was a journey of 80 to 40 days
duration. With the construction, of
the Hedjaz, railway the journey from
Haifa or Damascus to Medina has
been reduced to So hours" writes
Consul Edelman at Jerusalem. "As
it is enjoined upon Moslem pilgrims
to visit at least once in their, lives the
cities of Medina and Mecca, the route
now in use is the Hedjaz line to Me-
dina. return the same way, hen en-
bark at Haifa or Beirut for Jedda on
the Red sea, the nearest port to
Mecca. The administration of the
Hediaz railway has entered into a con
tract with the Khedival mail line
steamers to have ships in waiting at
Beirut and Haifa for the trains from
Medina. Immediate embarkation is
possible and pilgrims lose no time in
their journey.
ut is the ambition of the Ottoman
| government to extend the Hedjaz rail-
way to Mecca, thus entirely eliminat-
ing the sea route. At present the dis
lance from Medina to Mecca is IL
days by camel through an arid desert,

the price is low, while in country

This skim milk is also fine for pigs
and calves, and every near-the-city
poultryman should have at least one
pig f~attening in a little pen with a
concrete bottom somewhere on his

pen clean and sanitary in a city where
it can be flushed with a hose and
washed out every day or two.

Silhouette and PAINTING.

The art of painting begins ;nevi.-
ably with drawing-with expression
by means of the point-the result:
line. This every teacher and academy
realizes and has to realize. More;
every great school of painting has
evolved from it. But this use of the
point, or drawing, soon reaches it's
limitations, and the brush demands
mass, or perhaps it is more correct to
say that mass demands the brush. The
floating of masses on to canvas or
paper, with its edges holding the out
line of the form, is silhouette. Silhou-
cite, in other words, is the basis of all
mass impressions; without a sense of
silhouette we can utter no large and
sublime moods. Yet, strange to say,
the small part given to silhouette in
the teaching of the art of painting in
academies-indeed, more often the ut
ter lack of ft-has always struck me
as neutrality-suspicious. Macfall,

The curtain fell. Dorcas had reached
her dressing-room when she had to
turn and fly back to the stage. The
applause had grown to a tumult. Zilla
Paget stood by her side when the cur
tain rose. She was smiling a stage
smile upon the audience, but the
glance she turned upon Dorcas was
one of malignant hatred.

in the child's ear. Robins face shone
with joy Il am glad you think SO.

had a ~regretful tone in it, Il wish you

The girl held him out at arms
length for a moment. Il am wishing

He took her hand and they climbed
the stair which led to the upstairs
dressing-room. Dorcas felt an un-
spoken terror. She looked back from
the head of the stairs. Merry stood
watching them. She beckoned him,
and he followed with a few springing
steps. They paused for a moment out
side the door OF Miss Paget's room.
When Dorcas tapped, Robin was cling
ing to her hand with a grip which al
most hurt.
Zilla Paget stared at them with still
curiosity. She sat in front of the mir
ror while the colored maid Emiline
brushed her hair. 1t hung to her waist
in long, shining waves. Her forehead
wrinkled for a moment as if in per.
plexity. She could not see Robins
face. He was hiding behind Dorcas

CHEAP POULTRY FEED
SUBURBAN POULTRYMAN HAS AID.
vANTAGES OVER FARMER.
Much Waste in Cities in Form of Gar
bage, Stale Bread, Buttermilk and
Skim Milk Available at Very
Low Prices.
(By ISAAC MOTES.)

While the farmer-poultryman at a
distance from the city has some adj
vantages over the near-city poultry
man, the latter is not as badly handi-
capped on his home acre as you might
think.
The farmer can, of course, raise
most of his feed, and his chickens
have plenty of room to rustic their
foods in the fields, orchards, pasture
and ~barnyard, but on the other hand
the suburban poltryman is much
closer to market and a take advan-
tage of rush orders from merchants
either for eggs or dressed poultry, and
he is thus in position to get top mar
ket prices for the product of his flocks.
And the near-city poultryman can
get cheap feed if he knows how, for
there is SO much waste in cities in the
form of garbage, stale bread, butter
milk and skim milk. In a city con-
tanning a number of bakeries a poul-
tryman can get large quantities of stale
bread merely for hauling it away, or
If he pays for it, it will be only a
nominal sum.
/ have in mind now a in my
city who owns a restaurant, not a
very large one, either. She also has a
chicken farm about Il miles from the
city, and she sends out to the farm
once a week from six to ten potato
sacks of waste bread for her chickens
bread which but for utilizing it thus
would be thrown away. The result is
that she makes a big profit on the
chickens and eggs she sells.
This bread is exceedingly fine for
chickens, especially when soaked in
warm skim milk, slightly sweetened.
And it is as good for fattening chick
ems as for brood hens and young chick
ems 1t is also fine for hogs.
Another kind of chicken feed which
the near-city poultryman can get in
large quantities is fresh buttermilk in
cities where there are creameries or
butter companies.
Such companies sell a great deal of
b~uttermilk, but nothing like as much
as they could sell, and a great deal OF

ing it away
This %buttertnilk is especially good
for chickens cooped up to fatten fol-
market, for the acid in the milk is
good for their digestion in the winter
when they cannot get green stuff, and
also while they are cooped up where
they cannot take exercise.
Very few things are as fattening as
slightly our milk curds, sweetened
heated TO blood heat and with some
refuse grease or meat drippings from
the kitchen added. Such fat-making
food is better for f%attening chickens
however, than for hens with broods.
Another advantage the small poul
tryman has near the city is that he
is accessible to diaries where he car

is also exceedingly good for fatteninE

Source of Disease.

This is the season when lice and

ously, and as the animals are weak

Preferred Fertilizers.

Commercial fertilizers should always
be bought on a guarantee of analysis
so the percentages of the various ele-
ments may be known, and SO the grow
er may know what forms the plant
foods are in. Preference should be
given to fertilizers where the compo.
sition is definitely stated, because in
telligent plant feeding is not possible
without knowing the source of the va
rious components of the fertilizer.

Dressing of Wood Ashes Beneficial
to All Fruit Trees-Bones Pro-
mote Growth and Vigor.

A dressing of wood ashes around the
fruit trees and grape vines is a bene-
fit. 1t supplies the loss of the alkalis,
which are largely consumed by fruit,
destroys the acidity in the soil and
tends to sweeten all kinds of fruit.
Bones, old leather, refuse plaster
and soap suds, all constitute good fer
tiliZer for the fruit trees.
Bones appear to be the best of all
to promote permanent growth and Wig

A handful of bone dust mixed with
the soil at the roots of a tree or grape
vine will show its beneficial effects for
a number of years.
When grapes or berries are too ten
der and will not stand up in first
class condition to pick and market, it
shows that the soil on which they
grow is deficient in potash.

early is not approved by the most
skillful fruit growers and is only al
lowable when the intention is to
throw the whole force of the sap into
those particular branches that it is
desired to train in some particular d.

No fruit ripens so well nor has so
fine a favor when the foliage is in
,jured by summer pruning. This fact
is observable in our apple, peach, and
pear orchards when the worms have
consumed the leaves on a limb. You
will always find the fruit on such a
branch of poor quality and inferior
