"But it was my mother," sobbed the girl _ & nang t "Who gave you permission to touch my folio ?" he cried, his volce thisk with rage.

"I did not know any one was here. I left some drawings on the table." "Yes," she answered ; "because, a long time ago we nad a beautiful picture of her; that was before we came to live at Woodleigh Grange. My father would not bring it here with him.

While she still held the portrait in her hands, Mr. Charlton hastily enâ€" tered the room. "But you knew her once?" I sgaild. It was a very lovely face, but I thought there was something strange in the expression of it. Beautiful and childiike, with blue eyes and ripe red lips. Still, it was not a thoughtful or intellectual face. "Is it not beautiful, Miss Wood ?" cried Helena. "I lovye her so much, and yet I can remember nothing of my mother." with surprise "No," she replied, sadly ; "she died when I was quite a babyâ€"and I am fourteen now. I cannot, of course, remember her in the least." I was never much prepossessed by the personal appearance of my emâ€" ployer; some people would pernaps have considered him handsome; _ his face was too dark and inscrutable to please me. I do not care about [orm of beauty or color in a face, but I musat have candor and openness of expression. There was something lo him I couid never quite fathom; the dark, eager eyes had no calm unrulfled depth, no thoughts were mirrored on the â€" proud impassive {ace, Mr. Chariton was also a man of the greatest reserve ; it was seldom that frank words or a hearty laugh rose to his lips.

The base is a squiaire iubs hinged at its middle and folds up to three feet six inches. Each hallf has at each end a doubly reflecting prism The rays of light from a distant coject strike the outer pair of these four prisms, are reflected ai right angles along each iube, and are then rellected at the two middle prisms into the two telescopes of the binocular fixed to ithe base, in directions paralel to the original rays intereepted by the outer prisms. lt is the measurement‘ of the angle between thoso rays that tells the distance of the object looked at. This angle is measured by two vertical wires, one ia gach telescope, seen by the two eyes. O:e of the wires is fixed, the other is moved by a micrometer screw uutil the two wires appear as one, while the obâ€" ject is seen distlactly. This gives the distance accurately to 2 per cent. even at 3.00C yards. But now stereoâ€" scople vision comes in and gives far greater m-cnracly. The wire seems io stand out solid in space, and the slightest ‘turn of the micrometer screw causes the wire to appear to be nearer or farther than the object looked at, and when the wire apâ€" pears to be at exactly the same disâ€" tance the micrometer reading gives the distance with an accuracy far greater than that obtainable by obâ€" serving the duplication of images on the retina.

Ponse ere The Type of Animais Fed influences the character of the meat more than the breed. The fact of an animal being a Yorkshire or a Tamworth will not insure a good bacon carcass ; it must also be of a rangy type and be fed in a certain way. Pigs whose rations are limited make, generally, more economical gains than pigs that ars rushed, and maturity or ripeness of the animal affects the quality of the flesh. Feeding Wheat. A scries of experiments was conâ€" When hard flesh is desired skim milk is a most valuable addition to the grain ration. Feeding mixed meal (barley, peas and oats) with milk will generally insure firm meat. The greatest gains from a given amount of grain have been sown when it is ground, as a part of grain fed whole gets frequently voided before being digested. Mixed grains are more economical than grain fed pure. In one set of experiments in which ground grain was fed dry and comâ€" pared with ground grain fed soaked, the data pointed to a slight loss from soaking meal. While this may not be the actual case it is probable that the result from soaking meal may not be so marked as from soakâ€" ing whole grain. The average dressed weight of awine is about 76.44 per cent. of the fasted weight. Frozen wheat may be used as a profitable feed for swine. Skim milk adds most materially to the value of a grain ration, and 100 pounds of mixed grains equals about 700 pounds of skim milk. The relative value of skim milk in any raiion varies with the amount fed, the poorest returns per pound fed being obtained when the proportion of skim milk to the iotal food is the grentest. able to eat the most feed in proporâ€" tion to their weight. a F2E 3 ++ 'A.u.(}w <******* | Lt.â€"Cl.

There are no farm animals that can be made to yield a*t Jarge a profit as wellâ€"managed â€" pigsâ€"none that will so readily respond to efâ€" forts at improvement, in breeding an® feeding ; and none â€" degenerate so rapidly under a system of neglect and mismanagement. They require warm, dry sleeping places; damp, cold, unsanitary pens are ruinous to the health of pigs. . They are the better for exepcise in an open straw yard, but they should have a dry, warm, wellâ€"lighted _ pen, with & southern aspect, to retire into. Their troughs should be kept perfectly, clean by â€" frequent waushingsâ€"thelit pens should be cleaned as regularly as those of horses or cattle. They should be so constructed that water can be freely employed in washing them out. Thirty per cent. creolir solutions should be frequently spray= ed over the entire pen. The young pigs and shoats should be dipped once a fortnight in a ten per cent. soluâ€" tion of creolin in tepid water. This will remove parasites, relieve skin irritation, and cause the animals to thrive much better than they will do without this treatment. Imâ€" proved sanitation will lessen the tendency to verminous infection, by, destroying the ova, which in cold, damp, undrained, unhealthy cornerse of underground buildings, usually abound. When the hogs are being fattenâ€" ed they may with advantage have an allowance of a condiment of one of the following sort : Earthen soda; a mixture of wood ashes and ealt, at the rate of one bushel of ashes to six pounds of salt ; a mixture composed of six bushels of charcoal broken inito pieces the size of a hasel nut, 6 pounds of sailt, 1 bushel _ oft wheat _ shorts, thoroughly mixed, sprinkled with a pailful of water, in which a pound and a quarter of ccopperas has been dissoived ; or, 1 bushel of wood ashes, 4 pounds of charcoal, 6 pounds of salt, sprinkled with a quantity of water, in which a pound and a quarter of copperas has been dissoived. Either one of these condiments may be put in a place where the hogs will have access «40 it and &A chance to consume all they like. This is to take the place of the scil, which the hog would naturally swallow in its feed, if it were rootâ€" Ing in the ground. 1 Bo far as the kind of feed causes "softness" in the sides of bacon, exâ€" periments indicate it to be due ta the use of feeds which furnish insufâ€" ficient nourishment to the pigs, and to the want of exercise. The food of swine should be reaâ€" sonably clean ; it should never be putrid.
