The king at once sends for a priest to dairy Marina to his son. The nuptials are interrupted by a rising of the people who slay the king and CHAPTER XX. Waves of rebellion had rolled over the city. The avenging angel had struck its fearful blow and beneath the fell stroke thousands had fallen in a single night. Wickedness and crime, lust and debauchery, and tyr-rany and oppression had all been ewept away together. The people had studied well their vantage; all their plans had i been formed with that, precision which the coolness of determined spirits imparts, and they hail acted with that perfect unanimity to which the hope of liberty lights the wuy. Terrible and bloody as had been the stroke, it Was well deserved where it fell. The last vestige of the strife had disappeared from Tyre. The blood had been washed from the 'pavements and the dead had been all buried. In the great square of the temple, gathering around the huge brazen statue of Apollo, crowded the self-freed Tyrians. "A king! a king!" sounded from a thousand lips as the mighty crowd swayed to and fro. "Let's have a king to rule us justly and protect us in our rights." "Who shall it be?" ran from lip to !ip. "A king! A king!" those who stood outside. The form of TJV. was seen to rise upon the pedestal on which stood the brazen Apollo.

"No, he shall not be harmed." "Then," answered he, "it was my young Lord Strato, whom 1 saved.

A low murmur ran through the r sembled multitude, and while vet / zac trembled for the result of his i formation, Uz mounted upon a hi rock, and in a loud voice he shoi ed: "Brothers, this man has been preserved to us by the gods. He has traded in other countries, he is deeply studied in business, and ho is one upon whom the great God has set the crown of humanity. Strato shall be our king. All hail to the voices of tho gods!" "Hail--hail! Strato, King of Tyre!" arose upon the air. Lip after lip caught it up, and gradually every tongue let loose the cry. The Tyrians had elected their king! CHAPTER XXI. Around the royal throne E Tyr that which we last saw there. Strato wore the crown and held the sceptre. The fair Marina stood there, with faint blushes upon her cheek and happiness sparkling in her eye. By hor side stood the strange but faithful Esther, and near at hand was Kison Ludim. Nearer still to the throne was Gio, and as he gazed about him all regarded him with wondering interest. Both Ludim and the young king looked troubled and perplexed, and even the beautiful Marina wore, amid all her happiness, a slight shade of doubt and anxiety. A priest was in waiting, and about Jay the paraphernalia for a royal wedding, and yet all looked towards the armorer in silent expectation. At length he stepped forward and fast-enod his eye upon Ludim. The old man trembled with a strange emotion, and then he looked upon his daughter. Marina wondered at its import, but ere long Gio spoke, ah« all ears were bent to catch the sound of his voice, for they would know the strange mystery that clung about him. Even the servants, and those who were in attendance, drew nearer and listened. Ludim," he said, "you no doubt wonder why 1 have taken such an interest in the well-are of that fair girl. I have done it almost upon a supposition, though BOLERO WAIST. 32 to 40 Bust. Tho bolero waist is a marked favorite of fashion and is shown in many of the advance styles. The smart model shown is admirable in many ways and is adapted to a variety of materials. The bolero, having- no collar, makes it peculiarly desirable for wear beneath a wrap while at the same time it gives sufficient of the jacket suggestion to be suited to street costumes designed for spring. As shown it makes part of a costume of satin-faced cloth in sage green, with the full waist of Liberty satin in a lighter shade of the same color, the trimming being folds of tho satin, cross-stitched on with black silk and at the ends with jewelled buttons. To cut this waist for a woman of medium size, 2J yards of material 21 inches wide, If yards 27 inches wide, or If yards 44 inches wide will be required for the waist: 2£ yards 21 inches wide, 1} yards 27 inches Wide, or 1$ yards 44 inches wide for the bolero. flame of the love she had never before known sprang into being; she looked upon Gio--she forgot that he was an humble artisan--she forgot that she had been bred a lady--she only knew that she looked upon the man who was the author of her being, and with a cry of joy she sprang forward and rested her head upon the bosom that was waiting to receive her. "Oh," murmured the mysterious man, as he raised his eyes towards heaven, "how have I longed for this moment! How has my soul travailed in anguish and fear when hope would dare to paint such a reunion as this. Great God above all gods. I thank thee for this, and in this merciful dispensation I see that I am forgiven! Marina, my child\ Oh, bliss! Oh, happiness!" The tears gushed forth from the strong man's eyes, and every muscle was strained with the excitement of his happy heart. Marina looked up into his face, and if there had lingered even tho vestige of a shadofw in her soul it was all gone now. Tho tears of joy, of a new-found rapture, were coursing down her cheeks, when she felt a light hand upon her shoulder. "Sister!" spoke a soft, musical voice; and as Marina turned she beheld the radiant countenance of Esther beaming in lovely joy upon her. "And is this, too, true?" ed t&e half bewildered girl. Yes, yes, Marina." returned Gio. gazing- with fond pride uptin the two •air girli. "You arc both my children--both." "Ah," said Esther, with a happy smile, as she drew her arm around FEEDING YOUNG FOWLS. After seven years' experienc feeding chickens, of I noting 1 >ods ■ ef- ,-----th, health and feathering of the youngsters I find that the closer I follow the natural methods of feeding the more chickens I succeed in raising, writes Mrs. L. Johnson. Nature does not provide mashes either hot or cold for the chicks. Her animal food isn't boiled, dried and ground. There are no green cut bones lying around and no johnny-cakes prepared for their sustenance. There are no hard-boiled eggs crumbled up, nor nice sweet milk on their bill of fare. What does she provide? Delicate tender grasses and juicy clover leaves that contain so much of the protein so lauded as a necessary part of their food; tiny seeds and myriads of worms and larvae scratched out of the ground by the old hen. As the seeds are apt to be scarce in the spring, I supply the grain portion of their food by giving them at regular intervals wheat, cracked corn and oats. The oats are fed at first in the form of granulated oatmeal. It is spread on a clean board or a clean spot of bare ground and eaten dry. The crop provides a digestive juice which changes this dry oatmeal into a soft, creamy mass in less than two hours. This fluid secreted by the crop acts in the same way on wheat or whole oats; that is, it softens them so that one can mash them up with the fingers. Corn, however, is not affected by it, but it is passed on to the gizzard to be ground up. Since the chick is so well provided with the moans of softening and grinding its food, why do ihe work for it by feeding a mash? It takes just as long to digest the mash as the dry grain, if not longer, for they eat it so much faster and so much more of it that the juices do not mix with it so thoroughly. My chickens are fed from the very start five times a day; at 6 and 9 a.m., 12 m, 3 and 6 p. m. They know the hours as well as I do, and come home regularly for their meals, going away again to their ranging ground when satisfied. They never, even at night, fill their crops with grain. 1 have killed two and three-pound chickens immediately after feeding and the crop contained about one ounce of food. When a mash was fed, the crop often weighed three ounces, sometimes four. And the were very apt to The droppings of these chickens are always natural in color and consistency. Experience has proved that chickens raised in this way take on flesh and fat more ranidly than when ted only at night and morning-. They needed no extra fattening. They are ready to kill at any weight, and even the squab broiler has a layer of fat all over the body. I never penned a chicken to fatten it nor changed ihe bill of fare. My reputation for fancy chickens and fowls is so well known that I have never been able to supply the demand. The appearance of these chickens contributes largely to thoir popularity. Being well fed and free hey feather out quick-glossy and clean. There are no drooping feathers. The white chickens are as white as snow, their legs and bills a bright yellow, their faces and combs red. People have often that they hav. ing stock outside the sin I have been breeding for this style of fowls for years and last produced about 90 pei to the type I admire.

During summer feed a little grain in addition to the pasture or provide a soiling crop. In winter feed good corn fodder, clover hay and roots, such as mangels or carrots. A very important item is to have a good herdsman; one who understands his business, does his work regularly and is kind to the cattle. We believe in milking three times a day for four or five weeks as this seems to induce a greater flow of milk. The point is to keep the udder from becoming overloaded or uncomfortable. When milking is done three times a day, the men begin at 4 o'clock in the morning and milk again at one in the afternoon and the third time at night. Some hired men object to this extra work, but a good one will not. THE ORCHARD Plant young trees. frost out gradually by burj Don't be afraid to fertili chard.

The census of Canada by origins and nationalities, is presented in a new bulletin grouped by provinces and territories. Among the whites the racial or tribal origin is traced through the father, and among Indians through the mother. A person whose father is English and whose mother is Scotch, Irish or French, is therefore classed ac English in origin: but a person of mixed white and red blood, commonly known as a "breed," is classed as Indian, with a sub-description of his white origin to denote tho breed. Nationality applies by right of established usage to the citizens of Canada, and in this bulletin the term "Canada" is used as descriptive of every person whose home is in the country, and who has acquired rights of citizenship in it. A person who was born in the United States or France or Germany, or other foreign country, but whose home is in Canada, and who is a naturalized citizen, is classed as a Canadian; so also is every person born in tho United Kir.gdom, or any of its colonies, whose residence in Canada is not merely temporary. Aliens living in the country are classified by nationalities, according to the country of their birth, or to the country to which they profess to owe alleg- Referr ng to the second table it is to be understood as relating to aliens who have taken the oaths of aliens who have taken the oaths of residence and allegiance, and applied for certificates to that efiect, but who had not at the date of the census taken every step required to make them naturalized British subjects, and as the naturalization of a man who is the head of a family implies the naturalization of bis wife and all children under 21 years o* age, not naturalized by birth, the table embraces all such persons.
