Certainly, when he. gave a sccu-nd thought to it, it was the most unlikely thing in the world that outlierbloom would secretly give nwzry any money, especially to Floss, who was kcp‘. supplied by himself.

He had to pass Lady Heatherbloom‘s room. He eyed the door of her dress- ing-room as if there were something hate- ful about it. Away from Floss’s lovely face and sweet eyes, he did not feel himself so ar- rant a coward; he looked very gloomy indeed, but also very determined when he went down the stairs to the morning- room, where he knew George was wait- in . ‘George was not alone; Indy Heather- bloom was there, sitting in a low chair and holding her lace handkerchief to her if s. ’ p“Come with me into the study," said Lord Heatherbloom. “ I haw something to say to ycu, George.” Wondering but obedient, George fol- lowed his brother into his sanctum. When they had entered, Lord Heatherbioom shut and locked the door. “Now,"he said, "I have to perform the most difficult task that ever fell to my lot. I have to destroy your faith in a woman who seems so perfect that any men might be forgiven for believing in her, in spite of all evidence.” “Whom do you “mean i” said George quickly. ‘ r - r > ~ “Your I don’t wonderâ€" “Are you talking of Floss 7” interrupt- ed George. , ’ "Yes, I am talking of Floss.” “Then say what you have to say quick- ly, Heutherbloornâ€"I can see it is un- pleasant ; remember, I have very little patience.” ‘ Instead of ' responding to this appeal, Lord Hestherbloorn Went to his ac- customed chair, sat down in it, and re- lapsed into silence. George bore this as best he might for a. few minutes ; then he burst forthâ€" “I say, Hestherbloom, have a little pity on a. man! The truth can't be so bsd as what I’m trying to imagine all this while." Lord Ilesthcrbloom looked round. George noticed how worn his face seemed to have grown all of a. sudden. “ I hesitate to tell you the truth," he said, “ because it is so bad that I feclyou will not believe it.” “Out with it in two words," cried George, “ and give me a chance to deny it.” “ You know, as does the rest of the world, that the Hestherbloom diamonds have been stolen. ” “ Yes, I know that,“ answered George impatiently. . . V . . . . . “I stopped the investigation and sent the police out of the house because proof begun to pile upon‘proof, and all pointed to one person as having taken those diamondsâ€"and that person is Floss.” George started, then recovered himself by an effort. ‘ _ . “Oh, you are talking ridiculous non- sense !” he said. “The idea. of Floss stealing anything She might have got tired of me, and been pleased by the at- tentions of some better-looking personâ€" that I do live in dread of, because she is so lovelyâ€"yet I believe her heart is as true as her face is beautiful; but steal anything? Why, you might be talking cf one of the honsemaids "’ 1 “No,” rejoined Lord Hestherbloom, “none of them would have the courage to touch those diamonds unless they were thieves of a very superior sort. The prize and the danger would both be too great. Floss, I have no doubt, was tempted by the thought that some day or other those diamonds might belong to her or her children. ignorant mind, make the theft. seem less; and I know she has been growin ashamed of her poverty lately ; she might doludc herself into fancying she was only borrowing of the future.” He concluded with a heavy sigh. George begun to walk up and down the room; and he continued to do this un- ccusingly until the end of the converts. tion. - “ Now," he ssid,_ as his brother had said to Lad Heather-bloom not long ago, “ instea of theories, give me the facts, or what you think Vere the facts.” Thus sdjured, Lord Hestherhloom re- peated all the evidence a ainst Floss that had come to his kmowl go. Last of all, he told his brother of Mrs. Riddell's ac- count of what-had occurred on the night when the diamonds were stolen. George listened to the whole story, and when it was finished, cried out impa- tientlyâ€" “ My Floss creeping out of's house at. four in the morning with stolen jewels hidden under her clonk I Why, the thing is absurd on the face of it i Let me speak to Floss for two minutes, and it will be all cleared up.” ‘ “You mean by that that she will deny her guilt, and you will believe her, just because she is Floss.

Never. theless, you cannot see Floss again whilst she is under this roof. When you are cool, you will see that I am right in making this decision.” George looked his brother in the face for one moment ; what he saw there did not encourage him to speak any further. Heturned away, took up his hat, and left the room. A moment later, and the front door slammed; he had left the house. (To in: 4,'0.\"I“I.\'L‘IID.) The State of Russia. Everybody must have been struck by the silence of Iste observed respecting Russia. Newspapers which for years had constantly given information us to the state of the country, the persecution of tho-Jews, the nihilist plots, and financial and industrial questions, all at once he- came silent, and neither the telegraph agencies nor the press have been saying anything of late on Russian events. If the Noni (which, however, is' not pub- lished in Russia), did not, from time to time, furnish semi-cificisl notes showing Russia. to be now hostile, now, disagree- able tcward a particular power, one might fancy Russia to beware deeply plunged than ever in the famous retire- ment maintained by her, during the fifteen years after the Crimean war. Yet nothing is changed- in Russia. Dcspotism is more violent and resolute than ever, and the press is more than ever subject to the arbitrary will of the authorities, editors being daily accustom- ed to receive invitations to avoid discuss- ing specified questions. Nihilism, how- ever, has not been dissrmsd, but continues to exist, with the aggravating circum- stance that the army, formerly exempt from contagion, has been contaminated, The last few nihilist trials have shown among the prisoners men belonging to the army, and those not of the lowest. rank. Among the last batch sentenccd to transportation for affiliation to nihilism was a lieutenant colonel. Count Tolstoi, formerly minister of education, and now of the interior, ‘who enjoys exceptional influence with the emperor, is chiefly engaged in the discovery and prosecution of nihilists ; but as fast as one sccietyls broken up another is formed, and nihilist elements seem really inexhaustible. Count Tolstoi, moreover, while the great detector of tho nihilists, is also their especial victim. He is daily inundated with anonymous letters fromell parts of the capital, and even- of the provinces, announcing sometimes that a. mine has been laid under his office, and sometimes that he has been condemned to death, and that the sentence will be executed the first time he crosses the threshold. He is kept in such suspense that he rarely goes out ; he is absent even from cabinet councils, 'and, whem imperstively bound to attend, is the subject of special pre- cautions by the secret police. It is notorious, in St. Petersburg, that every time he is bold enough to stir cuts supplementary expense of 500 roubles In incurred. When a famous medium lately visited St. Petersbnrg, the count asked the academy of sciences to get up 8 scenes; but one of the members told him, “Why, for the 500 roubles which your going to the academy would cost, the medium wogld hold a seancc under your own 00 ." While nihilism has thus extended its sphere of action to the army, and is more g dangerous than ever, the persccution of| the Jews is as fierce as it. was s few years ago, when the European press boiled over with indignation. The only differ- ence is that the great bankers, especially the Germans, who had then an interest in .sounding .the slsrm and deterring capital from investment in Russia, now seem to have realized sufficient profits to warrants change of tactics. The very men who then incited or subsidized the press to denounce the ill-treatment of the Russian Jews are now inclined to subsidize it into silence, so that European confidence in Russian finances may not of Russia is not more brilliant. ‘ The revenue is collected with greater difficulty than heretofore, and the crops, even when abundant, are less profitable than formerly. American wheat subjects the Russian to a severe competition, and Odessa now scarcely sends cargoes to, Marseilles. I ‘u.- pâ€"-.â€"â€"â€"â€".â€".._._ A Chinese Miner‘s Luck. Years ago John Manuel left home and family in England and came to Iowa Hill to seek his fortune. Every year he added whis pile, and when. his oldest boy was grown he came to share his labors.

The sculptured medallions, Mars and Diana, on both sides of the mantel-piece, are attributed to Jean Goujon, and are of marvellous execution. The tall error on the pedestal in front is one of the celebrated pair which are con. sidered the master-piece (I Francois Briot, the Bcnvenuto Cellini of France. Many other remarkable relics of ancient art are exhibited in this saloon, which preserved its name from the days when the widow of Lous XII. inhabited the Hotel dc Cluny, clad in white mourning robes, as was customary with the Queen omence. The lste IIans Mskart’s atelier is divided into three empartments. The original studio, in which he worked for several years, now serves as an entrance hall. It is in connection with the spacious painting saloon, which Msknrt has built from his own plans, Opposite the entrance to the large atelier as orna- mental staircase leads to the third room, which the artist furnished with artisti- cally refined comfort for private use. The walls are covered with paintings on which Msksrt was engaged when death overtook him. Furniture of the choicest kind, curving in marble and wood, marble busts, rare chins and pottery, and a multitude of smaller articles of virtu stand about in picturesque disorder; bronze candelsbms and quaint lamps are suspended from the ceiling; gobelins tapestry, Indian ombroiderics and hang- ings fall in graceful folds from elaborate cornices and other points of vantage.

In France, Sundays or fete- dsys cause a clunnage, or cessation of labor, amounting during the year to 100 days. In Russia there are 24 holidays in addition to Sunday, making in all 76 non- working duys. In Greece the number of church festivals kept as atrict holidays is so great as to leave only 205 working days in the your, added to which th1re are 195 fast-days, on which, however, work is cslried on. The working classes of Anstris have 76 whole holidaysâ€"m the provinces they are still more num- erous. In Brussels, including St Monday, the average of working days is estimated at. 236, nl :hough the official holidays are 11 1t more than (if). The Swiss working classes have in addition to the religious festivals, to put up with a number of drill and field dn‘s until they are twenty- eight, and in some csntons thirty-four, years of ago. i little real need for cutttng away any large branches. (‘2). Pruning to increase growth must be done while the tree is dormsnt. At this time If a part of the buds sre removed and the roots remain uninjured these buds remaining will start with increased vigor. Unless, however, there is at this time supplied an increased amount of plant food, this increased growth will be almost wholly at the ex- ,pense of the food already stored up in the plant, and in the end no permanent good will result. (-3) Pruning to check growth is sometimes necessary when plants that naturally grow to a. large size are kept in s dwarfed condition for hedges, screens, etc. In this case pruning should be done when the plant isin foliage. We may give it as a rule that unless it is desirable to check the growth of a plant. or tree it should never be pruned during summer. Tobacco for Pigs. ' Last spring there appeared in u Wash- ington petiodicsl a letter from Gen. Clingmsn, of North Carolina, on the cura- tive properties of tobacco, which attracted considerable attention and has since brought out numerouscorroborstive state- ments and incidents. Among these is a statement from Dr. W. S. D. Johnson, of Lewis county, Mo. (describedby Congress- man Hutch us “an experienced and emin- ent physician, and a. large and successful stock-raiser and farmer”), who says: In 1871 I came to this place, bringing with me 118 head of hugs. Hog cholers made its appearance among them, and they commenced dying, and in the course of six or seven weeks I lost ninety-six head. At this time I killed four on one day and made post mortem examinationsvery csrc- fully and found that these animals were dying from the ravages of other animalsâ€"animals within. I made an in- fusion of tobacco and gave it to my hogs in buttermilk, and they stopped dying and I have not lost a hog since by cholera. When I suspect the disease, I give to- ' bacco infusion. Cross-breeding. It. has always been taught that; pure-bred cattle, sheep, swine, horses and poultry are the best. However meritorious pure- brcds may be, crosses, as a rule, pay best for ordinary practical purposes. Half- breeds, that is, the first cross between ‘ pu.e~bredsires and pure orimproved dams , are now quite generally credited with i being the best, at least for fattening pur- poses, both as regards early maturity and quality. If out-crossing is continued all distinctivo characteristics are soon lost, and by the reversion nondescript and un- desirable nnimels will '1 produced; and by in-crossirw, tit-:3 'yiitles of the original blood will 122‘ ad, and soon the off spring will be won’y different from pure- breeds. Take sheep, for instance, and suppose a Southdown rum to be crossed on Merino ewes. The first cross will be hnlf and half of each of the foupdution strains of blood. If these half bloods are bred again to Sonthdown rams, and especially t1.» their own sire, the offspring will be 75 per cent. Southdown blood, and in a. few more generations of similar-in-breeding in a. certain line of Southdown sires the sheep would be practically Southdowns. So too'ln swine, cattle, and poultry by in- breeding in a certain line of sires the oil'- spring will be practically the some as the sire in blood. (irons-breeding for pmtic d fattening purposes gives the best results in first crosses. But by good manage- ment no harm will result in breeding from the grade ferrule and a pure-bst male. Something About Earthquakes. In the current number of Science fresh interest is given to the subject of earth- quakes, which hsvo lntely caused alarm in both hemispheres, by s. stnt=ment of the number of noticeable shocks in this country during the twelve years from 1872 to 1883, inclusive. No less than 364 earthquakes are recorded as occurring in Csnadn and the United States, not includ- ing Alaska, within the above period. Of these the Pacific slope had 151, the At- lantic coast 147, and the Mississippi valley till. Thus it appears that. on cart] quake occurs about once in every twelve days somewhere in the United States and Canada, and about once a month on the Atlantic coast. These are cxclus‘ve of the lighter tremors w hich do not make an impression on observers, but which would to recorded by a properly constructed I A Portable Sheep Shed. .A farm journal thus describes a. port- able sheep shed : It consists of six pieces, and may b3 taken spurt and set up with onlya few minutes’ work. The sides are nailed together with three studs, and the cover is in two sections and made of matched pine, with a top board over the crack where the top sections go together. A scantling goes across the front to sup- rt- the roof. This scantliog is notched at the ends to hold up at the top, the bottom being held in place by a peg dri- ven into the ground.
