It came when blindness left Haysâ€" san defenceless, Then the Basha lTaid hards upon him, forced him to ‘Allah Beh!" he cried, swaying his body backwards aud forwards with the regularity of an automaâ€" ton and an inimitable quickness. He paid no heed whatever to Charâ€" nock and the boy as they halted beside him.. "Allah Beh!" he gried, and his chest touched the eradle of his knees. He marked the seconds with\the pendulum of his body ; he struck them with his striâ€" dent invocation. ‘"‘He was the richest man in Tanâ€" mer,‘ said Hamet, and he told issan Akbar‘s story as though it Fas an affair of every day. Hassan had not secured the protection of any of the European Legations.

Hamet, however, â€" promptly whistled the melody from beginning to end, while Charnock stood and took count of it. , iPerhaps it was he who told *‘ said Charnock. Hamet disagreed. _ ‘"He would not know., His beard was fair, so he comes from Fez." Charnock, too, had remarked that the man was fairâ€"haired.. But nevâ€" ‘ertheless this encounter of the rich Moor and the beggar remained in his thoughts, and he allowed his imagination lazily to fix a picture of it in his mind. Thus occupied, he walked through the cemetery, taking in that way a short cut to the Sok. But he was not halfway across the cemetery when he turnâ€" ed sharply towards Hamet. ‘"Do you remember the tune the Moor hummed * The stranger advanced to Hassan and dropped a coin in his lap. The coin was not a copper, for it sparkâ€" led in the air as it fell. Then with another easy laugh he turned to go «lown into . Tangier.â€" But â€"as he turned he saw. Charnock watching him. On the instant his hand went to his hood and drew it close about his cheeks, but not before Charnock bad seen a scared face flashed at him for a moment, and immediateâ€" ly withdrawn. ‘The Moor went downâ€"the lane. The stranger, however, had noâ€" ticed neither of the two spectators. He was still laughing softly to himâ€" self as he watched the beggar, and in a little he began to hum between bhis teeth a tuneâ€"a queer, elusive tune of a sweet, but rather mournâ€" ful melody ; and it seemed to Charâ€" nock by some indefinable hint of movement that Hassan Akbar was straiming his ears to catch and regâ€" ister that tune. : The newcomer laughed lightly to himself, and the laughter, within view of the rags and misery of the once rich man, sounded unpleasant and callous. Hamet shifted a foot at Charnock‘s side, and Charnock, whose interest in this picturesque encounter was steadily growing, pressed a hand upon the boy‘s shoulder to restrain him. l Hassan was seated in the dust with the sun beating full upon his head. In front of him the newâ€" comer stopped. ‘‘Peace be with you,‘""‘ he said, as Charnock, who had some knowledge of Arabic, unâ€" derstood. But the beggar made no answer, nor gave any sign that he heard. He sat motionless, impasâ€" sive, a secret figure of stone. met back by the trunk of a tree, which sheltered them both from the view of any one who came down the hill.. He left the lane free, and into the open space there came a man who wore the dress of a Moor of wealth, serwal, chamir, fargjia, ‘and haik, spotless and complete.

Almost j\\ithin the mouth of this tunnel there was a shop, or so it seemed,. for a stuffed jackal swung :1b(>vei the doorâ€" as a sign. ~RBefore this shop Charnock halted with a thrill of excitement.

Down the Sok, through ‘the crowd, came the Moor, in his |spotless robes, and a few yards beâ€" htnod him,. striding _ swiltly an !noiseless]y, the blind gannt beggar Iof the cemetery gate followed upâ€" ‘on his trail. In and out auongst |the shifting groups he threaded |and wound, and never erreg in his \pursuit. The man in whose track \he kept, never spoke when all were lsh-outing, yet Hassan never falterâ€" |ed. The sound of his footsteps was dost in a multitude oi the like | sounds, yet Hassan _ was somehow js.ensible of it, somehow to his ears | it emerged distinct. Charnock was amazed ; in a way too he was chilled. It seemed unâ€" canny that this sightless creature of the impassive face should be able to follow, follow, follow relentlessâ€" ly, answervingly, one silent man amongst the noisy hundreds. Charâ€" nock walked for a few yards by Hassan Akbar‘s side, keeping ns .o with him. Even with his eyes fixed upon ‘the Moorâ€" in front, even though he saw his feet tread the ground, he could not distinguish his footfalls.

He pointed to a cluster of tiny grimed gunnyâ€"bag tents in a corner of the highest part of the Sok. In the doorways of the tents a few men sat cobbling ; one or two wood fires crackled in the intervals between the tents; and in close proximity a dead mule took its.last unsavory sleep. gun upon his back, a pair of pistols in his belt, and a great coarse tail of hair swinging between his shoulâ€" ders._ He needed. no couriers to prepare his way.

It is for this reason that farmers who are in the Labit of applying potash salts in liberal quantities to their crops, such as regular growâ€" ers of â€" potatoes and mangolds should be careful every few years to give a dressing of lime, otherâ€" When potash salts are applied to a soil the potash enters into comâ€" bination with the soil lime, and is converted into a form in which it is available for the crop, but it is also a form in which a portion of both that potash and the lime is apt to be lost in the drains. Hence it has been said that potash uses up lime, and lime uses up potash. 1s the most sanitary, which is the best for the purposes of ventilaâ€" tion. On this point we have no hesitation to declare our preference for the facing out system. Under the King system _ of ventilation which is the most perfect the fresh air comes direct to the cow‘s nosâ€" trils and the manure is most readâ€" ily removed «laily, as it should be. The barna or stable should be 36 feet in width. This gives the most economic use of lumber and arâ€" rangement of feeding alley, stall room and driveway between the cows. It is well to be governed in this particular by the paramount question, ventilation and ease of keeping the stable clean and wholeâ€" some. The pro and con of this question will last for a long time. But Hoard‘s Dairyman thinks that in a climate where the cows have to be stabled and fed 200 days in a year, the paramount question is, . which The ordinary dairy. calf (of the Shorthorn type), it is asserted, fed on skim milk, hay, and gram, should, according to the best inâ€" vestigations yet made, reach a live weight of 500 lbs. at five months, and the gain should be made at the rate of from 4c to 5e a day. The nearest substitute to this food in point of cost per daily gain, proâ€" duce a gain of 1 1â€"4 lbs. per day at a cost of 6e to 61â€"%c. ‘This was dried skim milk powder, fed as a substitute for skim milk until the calf was five months old. Bowel troubles are a source of much boâ€" ther and loss in calfâ€"rearing, and in these experiments they were enâ€" tirely prevented by giving a tableâ€" spoonful of soluble blood meal with each feed. This, we are told, is‘ really blood from a slaughterâ€". house,â€"dried and ground to a powâ€" ) der. _ Since this is comparatively. inexpensive, it is believed that a wider use of it might be profitable. ‘ |_ CALE EOOD SUBSTINUTES. A bulletir issued by the Cornell Experiment Station gives the reâ€" sults of two years‘ experiment with substitutes for milk and skim milk in calf feeding. The report states ’that during the test the calves were first given whole milk, but after a couple of days this was replaced by skim milk, with which they weére also fed a mixture of maize, oats, bran, and oil meal, of which they were given as much as they would clean up, hay being available all the time.~ At thes enad of thirty days the calves were able to. do without skim milk at all, and this point is emphasized in the report as being the lesson taught by all the American research into the subject. But while: it is perfectly possible to do without_ any skim milk after the calf is a mouth old, when the milk is available it forms a leading portion of the best and most economic food for rearing calves. f g On the Farm @8e%88228e8082008%0000 22 8888888880000 2000 0 POTASH USES UP LIME FACING COWS IN OR OUT “I‘;[ The saip and essence should be $ put into a quart preserving jar and $ !mghtly covered to stand for twelve t | houre at least : During the time it $â€" | should be shaken more or less conâ€" he stantly.

This form is seen in the case ‘of what is known as "elergyman‘s ‘sore throat," but it is not necessary to be a clergyman toâ€"have it, and the average college student the day alter a boat race may be trusted to ‘have acquired a fair case of larynâ€" ‘gitis. Sometimes the voice is only ‘noarse or husky, but in severe cases it may be completely gone, owing to the local thickening and congestion of the parts. An attack of acute laryngitis in ome predisposed to it may be brought on in various ways. Sitting with wet feet will often do the mischief. So will inhaling dust or gas, or getiing too cold, or going too long without food, or, in short, doing anything or permitiing anything that serves to deâ€" press the general vitality, for no orâ€" gan of the body resents any insult offered to the general system more thoroughly than does an irritable throat. When a child develops a tendency to attacks of laryngitis a thorough exâ€" amination of the air passages should be made by a specialist in throat disâ€" orders, and in most cases some conâ€" traction or chronic inflammation will ‘be found which calls for correction. The importance of this will be recogâ€" nized when it is understood by parâ€" ents_ that one attack predisposes to others until the unfortunate child beâ€" comes the victim of soâ€"called croup with the least exposure or indiscreâ€" tion, and all the time the trouble may be caused by the mouth breathâ€" ing, which keeps the throat and all the air passages in a state of irritaâ€" tion and delicacy. In grownâ€"up people an attack of acute laryngitis is rarely fatal, alâ€" though its symptoms, which include breathlessness and sometimes comâ€" plete loss of voice, often give rise to much alarm. In children the ‘pas sages are narrower, and they ate less ableâ€"to throw off the secretions, with the result that an attack of laryngitis may become croupous in character an‘(Yl“consequen_t.ly dangerous to life.
