But the nextmorming all lethargy was gone, and Nancy was excitedly eager to be out early. She was met by disappointment at the first outset. Dr. Grantley was not in town, and therefore she could discover nothing about her aunt till two days later, when the doctor was expected home, and might be able to tell her if Mrs. Chaplin was back in England. No and Derrick was never likely to Woo more warmth from his mother In his present hopeless and unhap- py condition of mind. ~~. The fifteenth of December wonld be due in a week's time, and bear- ing this in mind, Derrick deter- mined suddenly to accept an in- vitation contained in another let- "ter to go over to Ireland for a week with a few bachelor chums, their cheery society would at least to crush the stoutest heart. When Nancy had opened her eyes after her second fainting fit, she 'had been too proitrate to utter a sound for nearly an hour; but, af- ter that, as the full horror of what 'had occurred returned to hery she had become feverishly awake, and finding that she was actually free from the prison walls of the Ma- nor House, she nad determined, twithout a second's hesitation, to ra x) i clearing them from time to time. It is also unpleasant for domes- tic use, causing roughness of the skin and "chapping" in Winter; and is a fruitful cause of many bod- ily derangements, including dys- pepsia, glandular swellings, gout, and rheumatism.

Her height and strength stood her in good purpgse a few mo- ments later, when, having shouted to Fenton to bring help without next, and, some one the truth, _ tp mother's whereabouts at once, yet she shrank from going to him at this moment. Her womanly mod- esty warned her that it would be a severe trial to both of them, and vet--yet she hungered to know the learn if Crawshaw's words had been spoken in earnest; it meant so much to her--so very much. . She never doubted that the law, that justice, would eome to her rescue if she could prove these words true; or that freedom would be given her immediately, once it was known that she had been tricked into her hateful marriage ; and freedom was all she asked at this moment--freedom from the duced automatically into the water as it leaves the main, and a filter system for_ intercepting the limy deposit which, results. Well water may be similarly treated if forced into a cistern be- fore use. Even mére important than hard- ness is purity. This may be affect- ed by the presence of an undue amount of mineral or other mat- ter in suspension, generally visible to the eye, and the remedy is ef- ficient filtration. On the other hand, the water may be contaminated by the pres- ence of organic matter and disease germs. If this is suspected, it is best to have the water examined be several dollars' worth of a good fertilizer for all crops. In this way all dead animals may be utilized, using less soil or muck as size of animals warrants. Bones furnish valuable fertiliz- ing material also, and should be saved. To 100 pounds of bones add the same quantity of wood ash- es, "25 pounds of lime, and 12 pounds of salsoda finely pulveriz- ed. Let remain about three weeks. Add water to moisten well. After decomposing it should be turned out upon a dry place and mixed withdry soil to prepare it for use. If diluted sulphuric acid is pour- ed over bones, they will be ready for use sooner, and will prevent cow stables and the liquid refuse carried from there to the basin in the yard. By turning to account all the farm 'waste' mentioned many dollars can be saved which have been heretofore spent in the pur chase of commercial fertilizers. FOR THE HOG RAISER. It is common sense that a mature sow will produce larger and more perfect pigs than a very young one. Do not attempt to raise fall pigs without having first prepared a perfect system of housing for the winter. Spring pigs can get along very "Well, Mrs: Darnley lives at éi- ther 300 or 305 Park Street, Park Lane, but she ain't at home now, I know.
