At dinner time â€" Mrs. Watson apâ€" peared in a very dainty toilette Of black and white, and was installed at the captain‘s right hand. She was introduced at once to Mr. Saâ€" bin, and proceeded to make herself a very agreeable companion. " Why. I call this perfectly deâ€" lightful!" was almost her first exâ€" clamation, after a swilt glance at Mr. Sabin‘s quiet but irreproachable dinner attire. "You can‘t imagine how pleased I am to find myself once more in civilized society. I was never so dull in my life as on that poky little yacht." " Poky little yacht, indeed t" Mr. Watson interrupted, with a note of annoyance in his tone. * The Mayâ€" flower anyway cost me pretty well two hundred. thousand dollars, and she‘s nearly the largest pleasure yacht afloat." J T 12 $» 8 is Lo was a "I don‘t care if she cost you aA million dollars." Mrs. Watson _ aDnâ€" swered. pettishly. "I never want to suil on her again. I prefer this inâ€" finitely." She laughed at Capt. Ackinson, and ber husband continued. his dinâ€" ner in sllence. Mr. Sabin made A mental note of two things â€" first, that Mr. Watson did not treat his wife with that consideration which is supposed to be distinctive _ of American husbands; and gecondly, that he drank a good deal of wine without becoming even a shade more amiable. His wife, somewhat pointâ€" edly, drank water ; and, turning her right shoulder upon her husband, dot voted herself to the en?ertq_lnment of her two companions. At the conâ€" clusion of the meal, the captain w8 her abject slave, and Mr. Sabin wWAs quite willing to admit that Mrs. J. B.

"I‘m going to have a cigar in the smokeâ€"room." ‘You can smoke," she reminded him, After dinner, Mr. Sabin went to his lower state room for an OVOr: coat, and whilst feeling for some cigars. heard voices in the adjoining room, which had been empty uP to now.

He rang the bell for the Rteward. ‘The man appeared almost immediâ€" ately. Mr. Sabin had known how to °l§'nre prompt service. ‘Was it my fancy, John, or did J hear voices in the stateroom oppoâ€" site?" Mr. Sabin asked. ‘"Mr. and Mrs. Watson have taken it, sitr," the man answered. _ YJou know that som cl‘?tl‘ms are hung up there," ~"»nes are hung up there," he remarkâ€" ed, ‘"‘and I have been using it as a dressingâ€"room. â€" There are heaps of stateâ€"rooms vacant. Surely you could have found them another ?" "I did my best, sir," the man anâ€" swered, ‘"but they seemed to take a particular fancy to that one. I couldn‘t get them off it nohow." ‘"Did they know," Mr. Sabin asked carelessly, "that the room opposite was occupied ?" ‘‘*Yes, sir," the man answered.

As a rule the capâ€" tain and Mr. Sabin strolled together, none of the other passengers, notâ€" withstanding Mr. Sabin‘s courtesy towards them, having yet atâ€" tempted in any way to thrust their society upon him. But toâ€" night, as he had half expected, the captain had already a companion. Mrs. Watson, with a very becoming wrap around her head, and a cigarâ€" ette in her mouth, was walking â€" by his side, chatting gaily most of the time, but listening also with an air of absorbed interest to the personal experiences which her questions proâ€" voked. Every now and then, as they passed Mr. Sabin, sometimes walking, sometimes gazing with an absorbed air at the distant chaos of sea and sky, she flashed a glance of inâ€" vitation upon him, which he as ofâ€" ten ignored. Once she half stopped and asked him some slight question, but he answered it briefly, standing on one side, and the captain hurried her on. It was a stroke of illâ€"{fortune, he thought to himself, the coming of these two people. He had had a clear start and a fair field ; now he was suddenly face to face with a danger, the full extent of which it was hard to estimate. _ For he could scarcely doubt but that their coming was on his account. They had played their parts well, but they were secret agents of the German police. He smoked his cigar leisurely, the object every few minutes of many side glances and covert smiles from the delicately attired little lady, whose gilken skirts, daintily raised from the ground, brushed against him every few ‘minutes as she and her companâ€" ion passed and repassed. What was their plan of action ? he wondered. If it was simply to be assassination, why so elaborate an artifice? _ and what worse place in the world could there be for anything of the sort than the narrow confines of a small steamer? _ No, there was evidently something more complex on hand. Was the woman brought as a _ deâ€" coy ? he wondered ; did they really imagine him capable of being dazzled or fascinated by any woman on the earth? He smiled softly at _ the thought, and the signt of _ that smile lingering upon his lips brought her to a standstill. He â€" heard suddenly the swish of her skirt, and her soft voice in his ear. â€" Lower down the deck the captain‘s broad shoulâ€" ders were disappearing, as he passed on the way to the engineers‘ room for his nightly visit of inspection. _ ‘Just as well," Mr. Sabin remarked, quietly. ‘"Thank you, John. Don‘t let I'tht’!’m know I have spoken to you about ‘"Certainly not, sir." Mr. Sabin walked upon deck. As he passed the smokeâ€"room he saw Mr. Watson stretched upon a sofa with a cigar in his mouth. Mr. Sabin smiled to'_l_llmself, and passed on. room, but they wouldn‘t shift. It was very foolish of them, too, for they wanted two, one each ; and they could Jll‘S't as well have had them together." "My dear lady," he said, "I have been suffering the pangs of the neâ€" glected, but how dared I break _ in upon so confidential a teteâ€"aâ€"tete?" "You have not made a single efâ€" fort to rescue me," she said reproachâ€" fully ; "you are most unkind.". Mr. Sabin lifted his cap, and _ reâ€" moved the cigar from his teeth.. "You have little of the courage of your nation, then," she answered laughing, "for I gave you many opâ€" portunities. _ But you have been enâ€" grossed with your thoughts, and they succeeded at least where I failedâ€"you were distinctly smiling when I came upon you." _ _ "It was a premonition," he began, but she raised a little white hand, flashing with rings, to his lips, and he wae silent. "Please don‘t think it necessary to talk nonsense to me all the time," she begged. "Come! I am tiredâ€"I want to sit down. Don‘t you want to take my chair down by the side of the boat there? I like to watch the lights on the water, and you may talk to meâ€"if you like." _ _ "It is sufficient for him," she swered quietly, "that I prefer it. will not leave the smokingâ€"room til the lights are put out." ; "Your husband," he remarked a moâ€" ment or two later, as he arranged her cushions, "does not care for the evening air ?" k m U my woes. Tell me all about yourâ€" self, Mr. Sabin. Are you going to America on pleasure, or have . you business there?" _ A faint smile flickered across Mr. Sabin‘s face. He watched the white ash trembling upon his cigar for a moment before he epoke. "I can scarcely be said to be go ing to America on pleagure," he anâ€" swered, "nor have I any business there. Let us agree that I am go ing because it is the one country in the world of any importance which I have never visited." c * "In an ordinary way," he remarked, "that must be dull for you." "In an ordinary way, and every way," she answered in a low tone, "I am always dull. But, after all, I must not weary a stranger with "You have been a great traveller, then," she murmured, looking up at him with innocent, wideâ€"open eyes. "You look as though you had been every where. Won‘t you tell me Mr appeared annoyed of about some of the odd places you have visited ?" f " With pleasure," he _ angwered ; " but first won‘t you gratify a natâ€" ural and very bpecfic curlosity of mine?© I am going to a country which I have never visited before. Tell me a little about it. Let us talk about America." She stole a sudden, swift glance at her questioner, No, he did not appear to be watching her. His eyese were Tixed idly upon the sheet of phosphorâ€" escent light which glittered in the steamer‘s track. Nevertholess, she was a little uneasy. yA "America," she said, after a mo ment‘s pause, "is the one country I detest. We are only there very selâ€" domâ€"when Mr. Watson‘s business deâ€" mands it. You could not seek for inâ€" formation from anyone worse informâ€" ed than I am." "How strange!‘* he said softly. "You are the first unpatriotic ‘A*Amâ€" erican I have ever met." ‘"You should be thankful," she reâ€" marked, "that I am an exception. Isn‘t it pleasant to meet people who are different from other people?" | ful !" "I wonder," she said reflectively, "in which school you studied _ my sex, and from what particular woman you learned the art of making those little speechps.?" C ‘"‘Then you have a wonder{fual future before you. You will make a courtier, Mr. Sabin." "I shall be happy to be the humâ€" blest of attendants in the court where you are queen." . 3 "I can assure you that I am a vice," he delared. P mds ‘‘Such proficiency," she murmured, ‘"is the hall mark of insincerity. You %{: ’Pot a man to be trusted, Mr. Saâ€" ‘Try me," he begged. "I will! I will tell you a secret." "I will lock it in the furthest chamâ€" ber of my inner consciousness." "I am going to America for a purâ€" ‘‘Wonderful woman," he murmured, ‘"to have a purpose." "I am going to get a divorce!" Mr. Sabin was suddenly thoughtful. "I have always understood," he said, "that the marriage laws of America are convenient." ‘‘They are humane. They make me thiankful that I am an American." Mr. Sabin inclined his head slightly towards the smokingâ€"room.. _*"Does your unfortunate husband "He does ; and he acquiesces. He has no alternative. But is that quite nice of you, Mr. Sabin, to call my husband an unfortunate man ?" "I cannot conceive," he said, slowly, ‘"‘greater misery than to have posâ€" sessed and lost you." _ ___ know ? She laughed gaily. Mr. Sabin perâ€" mitted himsel{ to admire that laugh. It was like the tinkling of a silver bell, and her teeth were perfect. j "What a pity that you are like all other men." They listened together to the bells sounding from the quarterdeck. It was eleven o‘clock. The deck behind them was deserted, and a fine drizzling rain was beginning to fall. Mrs. Watâ€" son removed the rug from her knees regret{fully. _ 7 ‘You are incorrigible," she said, "I believe that if I would let you, you would make love to me." "If I thpught," he answered, "that you would never allow me to make love to you, I should feel like followâ€" ing this clgar." He threw it into the Cursing Contest. A professor of languages, some years ago, on returning from India, remarked upon the paucity of objecâ€" tionable phrases among the British working classes when compared with the abundance supplied by the Oriâ€" enntale of similar rank. To prove this he gives a case which came under his own notice. He had dismissed a man servant for dishonesty, and the next morning at 6 o‘clock he sought an interview with his former master. He flourished a carving knife, with which he plainly intended to emphaâ€" size his remarks. When he found it impossible to gain admisslon he sat under the window, and the "swearâ€" ing‘" procegs began. He cursed the professor along the genealogical tree back to the first ancestor of his race. Then he dwelt upon every detail of his anatomy, from the top of his head to the end of his toes. " For three consecutive hours he sat there and ewore," says the professor, "without once repeating a phrase." White travelling on the underground railâ€" way in London, a party of workingâ€" men entered the same compartment, and interspersed their remarks with the commonest forms of "swearing." ‘The professor politely asked them to desiet, whereupon he was told to mind his own â€"â€" business. He at once commenced to translate into English She sighed, and tapped hber little French heel upon the deck. n "I will ”sn_v nothing so unkind of you," he remarked. "You are unlike any other woman whom I ever met." Her hand, very small and white and very soft, lingered in his. At that moment an unpleagant voice sounded in their ears. W‘EI'wm'l-l‘l:?Eo." she said ; "do you hear how late it is ?" ‘"‘You will tell me all about Amerâ€" ica," he said, rising and drawing back her chair, "toâ€"morrow ?" ‘If we can find nothing more interâ€" esting to talk about," she said, lookâ€" ing up at him with a sparkle in her dark eyes. ‘"Goodâ€"night." _ _ Y in their ears. "Do you know the time, Violet? The lights are out all over the ship. I don‘t understand what you are doâ€" ing on deck." Mr. Watson was not pleasant to look upon. His eyes were puffy and swollen, and he was not quite steady upon his feet. His wife looked at him in cold displeasure. "The lights are out in the smokeâ€" room, I suppose," she said, . "or we should not have the pleasure of seeâ€" ing you. Goodâ€"night, Mr. Sabin! Thank you so much for looking after Mr. Sabin bowed and walked slowly away, lighting a fresh cigarette.

"In the present case it is delight ©99 (To be Continued.) Ts In the experiments carried out at Ohilo it was found that the general superiority of butter flavor in the summer season is mainly due to the greater number of bacteria of the acid class found in the milk during the summer season. The ripening of a good quality of natural cream is mostly a development of acid bacâ€" teria. When wellâ€"ripened cream is ready for churning, the number of bacteria per cublc centimeter varies from 280,000,000 to 302,000,000. Of this number the acid producing bacâ€" teria constitutes from 91 to 98 per cent. As the process of ripening adâ€" vances the relative percentage of acid bacteria greatly increases. As this proceeds, some species disappear, others are prevented from increasing in â€"numbers. A good natural skimâ€" milk starter is practically a pure culâ€" ture of acid producing bacteria. The flavor produciag power of four speâ€" cles of acid producing bacteria was tried by using them to ripen pasâ€" teurized cream. Any one of these gave the butter the typical flavor and aroma produced in natural ripâ€" ening. The most common milkâ€"souring organism ("bacterium lactarii‘), all things considered, gave the most satâ€" isfactory results of any of the speâ€" cles tried as a culture for ripening cream, Practical experience and exâ€" perimental evidence both indicate that the most important factors in cream.

An Illinois beekeeper has contrivâ€" ed a plan of hatching chicks by placing the eggs on top of the brood nest, directly over the clusâ€" ter of bees, of his bee hives. Out of 100 fertile eggs, he claims every one hatched a good strong chick. At first thought, this may seem a little startling, but the plan _ no doubt is feasible, when we consider that the normal temperature of a bee hive is 100 degrees, which is nearly the right temperature _ reâ€" quired to incubate eggs. The time required to produce a worker bee from the egg is 21 days, the same as that of a chick. This certainly promises to be a step in advance. There can be no risk of roasting eggs, as is often the case with an incubator, and on the other hand, the danger of the eggs being deâ€" serted by freaky hens will be done away with, but we must not forget that bees are sometimes freaky, too. A bee hive world probably acâ€" commodate in the neighborhood of four dozen eggs at one time. The cultivation of sugar beets reâ€" quires far more labor than ordinary hoeâ€"crops. When the plants have four leaves they should be thinned to from six to eight inches in the row, care being taken to leave the strongest plants. â€" The ground should be kept clean, even if there are no weeds. It is necessary to hoe them often, the oftener the better, as it means the sugar in the beets. In a dry time, stir the soil often, but _ not deep, in order to retain moisture ; cultivate till the leaves are so large there is danger of breaking them, as the sugar is gathered from the air through the leaves. ‘There is as much in cultivation as in the qualâ€" ity of the soil. _A rich, deep, loamy soil is the best. The seed supplied lagt year was all the same quality. The best sample of beets that were tested yielded over 16 per cent. sugar and cver 91 of purity, but they were well cultivated, and the ground kept clean. The poorest sample only yielded a little over 11 per cent. sugar and a little over 71 purity, but ‘they were poorly culitivated and wooded. At four dollars a ton for standard beets the former would be worth over five dollars a ton, while the latter would hardly be taken by a factory at any price. The farmer who diversifies his crope will not always be met by overproâ€" duction in the imarkets, as the seaâ€" eonable conditions ase not favorable to all crops at the same time. conseâ€" quently if the market is well supplied with one article in abundance there may be a scarcity of something else.

At one time it was believed that by keeping the orchard ground in grass the pear trees would escape, but, while the rapid growth of the trees seems favorable to attack of blight, and, alâ€" though the grass may retard attack, yet the trees sooner or later sucâ€" cumb to the disease should it find its way Into the orchard.

MALL & RUCKEL, MONTREAL : there is no gure remedy for blight. The Young Man and the Churchâ€"A Candid Opinion. We were buy with copy the other day when a young man came into the office and sat down for a chat. He was a typical Canadian, tall, well« built, with a face that swhowed a clean life. In the course of conversation he said : "I have not been inside a church for months. I never go." "But why do you not ?" eald we. "Beâ€" cause we get nothing when we go," said the young man. "We hear no oratory, and we get no instruction." We accepted that as a fair answer. The young man of the present day, wishes to be pleased with oratary, or told something new. _ e Is his estimate correct? We think it is. We are glad to believe that it is. The ministers of the Canadian church have too strenuous a life to give time to the polishing of their periods. They speak right out with as direct a style of speech as they, can cultivate. They have altogether too high an estimate of their vocaâ€" tion and of the message they are commissioned to deliver to speak vaâ€" pid nothings in beautifu language when they stand to preach to the people. And the story they have to tell is not new. It is as old as creaâ€" thion. It is the business of their life to tell this old story over and over agaim, till men hear it and _ underâ€" stand it. Quite trus, men do not want it, and the cry o{f the young man that we hear nothing new, is itself a very old ory. It is the protest of the natural man against the things of the epirit. SR But no two men will tell that old story in exactly the same way, if they are true to themselves. God has given to every man a personalâ€" ity that marks him out from his fellows, and He expects this disâ€" tinctive personality to come out in the telling of His message. The absence of this distinctive mark may be what the young man missos, and what he complains of is not that the story is the same old story, but that there is a wearlâ€" some monotony in the telling of #. He recognizes the fact that someâ€" thing is wrong, but cannot tell you just what it is and he calls it *"*nothing new." The fact that he stays away from church is too painfully true. That, fact has caused many an earnest> minister the keenest _ pain and:; more thought has been bestowed:! upon the problem of the young man, than almost any other in his min= istry. Many plans have been tried,; but few of them have been successâ€" ful. There bave been those who have discussed the questions that young men are fond of discussing in their _ own â€" gatherings, but no one is _ more quick to perceive the incongruity of such discussions in the Christian pulpits than the young mian himself. They have sought to win him by & beautiful service, but he woull ra« ther go to the theatre for entertain=« ment. When he is found in considâ€" erable numbers at church it is where the gospel is preached plainly and where it is applied to the everyâ€" day affairs of life. e * The young man hates sham. He has no use for a religious coat. What he wants is that the man beneath it whall be religious through and through. If in the church he sees practice and precept at variance he will have none of the church. If in: church members he finds profession and life opposed he will have none of the church members. After all it i# not so much in the pulpit as in the rew. mot so much in the minister as n the member, that the young mas finds that whick lsade him to avold the cthurch doors â€"Presbyterian Reâ€" According to the latest edition of De Mortillet‘s work on the "Origin and Antiquity of Man," the humen race appeared on earth 238,000 years ago.
