& DIAMN FORCIGN. ogue, O BRIEF Loth Mr. aad Mrg. Seaver observed Carrol‘s expression, and commented upon it in confidential asides. Audâ€" denly an exclamation of alarm es caped the lips of Mr. Seaver. What appeared likely to prove a most disastrous accident had o¢â€" curred. A large and ponderous box had been raised from the hold by the wirdlass. M# To l 4 x It evidently contained something which required careful handling, for the workmen: were very watchiul of it; but in eswinging it clear of the Alter break{fast they all repaircdi to the deck and stationed theimâ€" ; selves near a windlass to watch its | operations as it raised the bagâ€"| gage from the hold. Florence was standing with her back to the windlass ; Mr. Carrol was { on her left, and Mrc. Merriil on her ~ightâ€"the latter doing his best to { monopolize bor attention, while the Iormer remained almost silent, a}â€" though his grave eyes were fastened upon the girl‘e lovely Tace with a yearning tenderness that spoke volâ€" | umes. When Fiorence awoke the next morning the steamer was at restâ€" its mighty pulse haq ceased to beat ard she knew that she must have arrived in port, while the hurrying of many feet overhead ard the sounds ol confusion that came to her ears, told her that her fellowâ€"voyagers were preparing to go their several wayse. ol those unfortunate individuils who have no home." "*Ah," sho cricd, with a sigh, "pray pardon ms. I seem strangely inâ€" cline«d to touch upon painful tepics toâ€"might." "It was a very natural question," ho kird y se p)nded, "so pray do not reproach yourself. I am really a native ofthe United States, alâ€" though it has not been my home for many years.

"Thank you, Miss Richardson, for your good wishes, and I shall do my utmost to bring them to pass." Tnes the young man once more drew her hand through his arm, and they began to slowly pace the deck. He led her to talk of various things, to draw her mind away from herâ€" sell, until she forgot all sabout her recent indiâ€"position, and was son conversing with almost her zsecusâ€" iom«e«1 animation. *Is your homs in England, Mr. Carâ€" rol?" she ak d, after an al.usion to London.

Miss Richardsonâ€"it is not a bad break, and will soon be all right again," the youns: man smilingly replied. Then he continvued, glancing at his watch: "I shall be cbliged to take leave of you immediately if I am to catch the tenâ€"thirty train for London. Goodâ€"by, Mr. Soaver, it has given me great peasure to make your acquaintarss, and I shall look eagerly forward to our reunion, @A month later." : Here they found Florence and Mrs. Feaver with Mr. Moerrill and one or two others, discussing the accigent.

"Pray do not . underrate what you have done, my dear fellow," said Mr. Seaver, earnostly, as while the surgeon was bandaging the arm, the young man gave him a brief account of the accident and passed very lightly over his part in it. "L saw the whoic thing, and I ‘know that yomu saved the life of my ward, Miss Richardason."

To bo brief, three treatments from Dr. Field utterly annihilated all disâ€" comfort from that terrible bruise, Ho was directed to throw aside his bandages and splints at the end of a week, and it was not long before his arm was as woell and strong as the other, while ho was charmed with his gentle lhealer and deeply interested in â€" her beautiful teachâ€" ing. He could hardly credit his senses. He felt as if suddenly released from a â€" bitter â€" bondageâ€"as if galling chains had _ been mysteriously stricken from him.

Â¥=%8 "It was very fortunato for me that you had the impulse, and were brave enough to act upon it," Florence reâ€" turned, and the words sent a hot flush of flame to Addison MerrilPs faceo.

The pig had its origin in India, and its first conquest was that of eastern Asia and the archipelagoes of the Eastern seas. _ China fell an carly victim to the love of the pig. _ Records show that the cultivation of the grunting porker was a high art in that land as long ago as 3,000 years beofre Christ, _ One of the greatest of the Chinese feast days is known by the name of "Pig."

He is expected, as far as possible, to find a suitable market for tE: birds fattened at his station. The Department will, however, endeavor to fiovido & market for any surplus stock above local requirements. Eacg station will be conâ€" ducted as much like a private enterprise as posible, the Department assisting the operator in marketing, etc., as it would a private firm initiating a new business. Only birds of the proper type will be bought this year, and seven cents per pound will be paid for these at the staâ€" tions. An extra good type might well be worth eight cents, while another type of the same breed would be too dear at five cents a pound. Special attention is being paid to choosing the right sort of bird for fatâ€" tening; for instance, the blocky type of Plymouth Rock or Wyandotte is recomâ€" mended as suitable for the purpose. The operators are required to spend as much of their time as may be required in asâ€" sisting those who are engaged in or enâ€" tering the business, by giving instruction in buying the Trorer type for fattening, in killing and plucking, packing, shipping, etc. birds. Those who are carrying on the work for themselves willl hbe considered not rivals but friends, and will be offered assistance where possible. Healthy babies are always happy bab CLOBULAR LIGHTNING.
