Mr. Blake expresses the opinion that it is a. complete misapprehen- sion to think that the Privy Council ordered the discontinued schools to be restored, and is further of the opinion that the federal government have no power to dczil with the taxes of Manitoba, or to allocate any money to Catholic or separate schools.

A large number of illustrations of poultry houses. feeding troughs. water fountains, nests, etc . is given which cannot fail to be of value to those willing to take some trouble in order to obtain good profits from this branch of farming. The best breeds and the best methods of feeding is amply discussed, and an article by Mr. Thos.

Much valuable information is given on the pack- ing of poultry for market, besides the means of obtaining a. plentiful supply of new laid eggs in winter. Poultry raising and its importance to the farmer, by one of the leading poultry men on this contin- ent will be especially interesting to the farmers of this locality. It is shown that hens may be made to yield a. far larger percentage of profit on the outlay than cows. taking into consideration o'rignal cost and keep. Of course, this can only be done wlicrc cure and attention is given as in diiirying or stock-raising. It will cer- tainly pay farmers to read this number. Subscription only $1 per annum.

"I we , to be sure, but Mr. Darrlngton was opposed to “havin' his wife and dar- ters gad about to all the neighbors," and everybody fell in With the habit of letting the Darrington‘s severely alone. - One morning when Mr. Darrington an- nouncccl his intention of driving to the village. Kate tlmidly ventured a. re- quest that she be allowed to accom- pany him; her uncle John kept a Store in. Meredith. and she had not seen that store for ten months. . “ ’Talnt nec'sary," the father answer- ed, testily: “if you want anything, I’ll get it. You’ve got enough work to do In the house without gaddin’ around in town. I‘ll stop at John's store, and if his wagon is comin‘ past here this mornin' I'll order him to Stop “’ltn a lot of groc’ries. Rob ain't goin’ to-day, It’ll take me too consumed long at the blacksmith's." Just before ,dinner Uncle John's wagon stopped with the groceries. So- phie was opening the basket to put the things away when she noticed some writing on the brown paper that was laid over them. “Why, what‘s this?" she cried. “Father seems to how: sent us a. note." “Well. what does he say, child?" asked her mother, anxiously. “Read it out loud." But before she could begin, Kate. and Mrs. Darrington looked over her shoul- der, and this is what they saw: “Go around and inwitc all the nabors to spend the evenin' with us and we'll have a gcnwin Surprise Party, don't forgit tom‘s folks‘ can‘t you make some cake?" “Vl'hat can have come over father I can't imagine," said Mrs. Darrington, looking l)e\\'ili.lercd, “but we‘ll havo to do it. as he says so.” When Rob was informed of the new departure of his father's he joined with the rest in being both surprised and delighted. “To think of him even asking Tom's folks. that he hasn't spoken to for the IaSt ti'~'c years! Tom’s a. nice felâ€" low. and ain’t to blame for that quar- rel. llut [ wonder whatever possessed father to do this." “I just went out and told the man to tell Uncle John and the fiilks to be sure to come up to-night." amid Kate. entering the room at that m0- merit. asked them." "Of course, father must have “Why, yes, it's more'n likely he did," assmitcd her mother. "and, come to think of it, wasn't it sly of father to leave Rob home to do the inviting and not say a word about it?“ "Yes, and sending all the grotinries, too," added Kate; "father was very thoughtful." That evening as Mr. Darrington was driving up the lane toward the house. he was startled by hearing the unusual sound of laughter coming thcrnl'rom. He looked up and saw, to his aston- Ishment. that the whole house was il- luminated. What could it mean? He lcft the horse standing by the shed and hurried to the front door to solve the mystery. Vt'hen he entered he felt that he must certainly be in dreamland. His daughters were radiantly beau- tiful in dresses of pure whiteâ€"he had forgotten until now what really hand- some girls they wereâ€"and his wife, in her neat black silk. was a. woman of whom one might be proud. Even Rob looked more genteel than he had look- ed for many a. long day. Here was his own household openly disobeying his commands. and yet tl eY came to him as bravely and smiling as if he had never forbidden the pleasure of having company. But it must have been a hard-hearted man, indeed, who could fail to find enjoyment in it. And who was that coming toward him with outstretched hand? Could it really be Tom Deane, the one who had vowed that he would never speak to Joe Darrlngton again? Yes, it was not other than old Tom, and he was mak- ing the first advances in spite of his vow. “3:10de Joe? Seems nateral, don't “Yes, I mustâ€"I must say," stammerâ€" ed Mr. Darrington, “powerful nateral; but I must go and tidy up a. bit, for I ain’t fit to be seen." In a. dazed sort of way he left the room, but when he returned, shortly after, dressed in his very best suit, he was as bright and gay as anyone present. He entered with all his heart into the merry-making of the evening, only stopping now and then to wonder how the women folks had dared to defy him so boldly. John and his folks had arrived and were joining in the general hilarity when Joe Darrlngton entered the parlor the second time, but he would not have lost his equanlmity now had Queen Victoria been announced. It was only when the neighbors .iad departed, leaving the brothers and their families together, that he gave utterance to any thought on the sub- ject. Then he said, playfully: “Sorter sly of you, John, not to mention this mornln’ that you was comin’ up." “Why, I hadn't got no invite then.” “What do you mean, father?" asked Kate. opening her blue eyes wide in surprise, “didn’t you invite Uncle John?" “What under the canopy do you mean?" asked Mr. Darrington in aston- lshmcnt. "Why, yes you did, father,” said Kate, “you sent us a. note telling us to Inâ€" vite all the neighbors." “I didn’t do nothln‘ of the kind, on- less my mentality Was wanderln'.” Kate straightway brought the paper and handed it to her father. “There is the note you sent us with the groâ€" cerles." “I _dldn't put up the groceries, and I’m innercent of the writln' on that paper," he said. after he had read the invitation. . Then Uncle John examined the paper, but no sooner had he glanced at the words than he burst into such a fit. of laughter that he was unable to speak for several seconds. When at last he found his voice he said: “I writ that myself last week. I had sech a. cold that I couldn’t"ta.lk, and I got into the habit of speakin' to the folks on paper. One afternoon I felt like havin' a leetle company, and .I asked Mary to get ready for folks that night. I writ the»; words to, by; in miles from the Darrington homestead, â€"a. mistake all around. VVal, I’m not and it was quite an event in the lives! of the Darrington women when they could manage to secure a horse to take them so long a distance.

Did you ever notice the way a. physi- clan prepares; the court-plaster for a. wound? First, he folds The piece lengthwise directly mough the mid- dle. The plaster should be consider- ably larger than the wound, to keep well over the edges; then slash the plaster lengthwise nearly to the edge. Straighten the court-plaster out flat. and cut the slashed pieces at Opposite ends. Place the straight edges of the courtplaster to an flesh on either side of the wound, bringing the strips across the wound. Mloisten them. and taking a. strip from each side. draw them. together gently, closing the out, and stick the plaster in place. Con- tinue with all the strips, and the cut will .be dressed in a manner to insure a. perfect healing, and as well as any doctor could do it. _ To Make a Neat Patch. Here is an uncommon way of mend- ing a. silk or woollen garment in which a. hole has been torn. and where only a. patch can remedy matters. The frayed edges around the tear should be carefully smoothed out and any longer threads trimmed off. Moisten a. piece of the material. with very thin mucilage and place it under the tour. Lay this part of the garment on a. flat surface and place a lchl weight upon the tear and let it remain until the mlucilago is perfectly dry. The patch will be scarcely perceptible.

Supt-refit ions Just day before yesterday I was in the waiting room of Ullc of the big dry goods shops, when a tired-look- lng young woman came up with a baby in her arms. livery chair was occupied, and the mother laid the sleeping infant on the table. Instantly a. well-dressed woman sprang up and fairly jerked the baby off the table. “Don‘t you ever do that thing drain." she cried to the a<tonishcd mother. "Don't you know that's a sure forc- shadowing of the child's. death? Never lay it on a table if you want to raise it."

But he finally abandon- ed all hopes of recovering the lost trea- sure. In the evening of the very day that her brother discontinued the search the fair loser of the timepiece had another dream. This time she dreamed that before retiring she had hidden her watch in a shoe in the bot- tom of a. closet.
