AN EM1I.I8II hTOHV.
"Small and neat very ; ago, uncertain
apcstaclcs, thin, faded hair, faded overcoat to
match, and au alpaca umbrella. He may be
good, Will, but he is one of the most common
looking persons I have seen for some time."
"Did youccrseean original looking clerkf"
queried Will, reflectively, from his sofa by
the fire. "It seems a moral necessity that
they should all be fashioned after the same
pattern."
"Is ho a clerk i" asked I, turning round
rom the window.
"So Ford told mo this afternoon, .lay his
namo is; he's the cashier at Grimsby's."
Tho cashier had como up the street, and let
himself in at the next house. A wood yard on
one aide, and a long, lo' store shed on the
other, separated the two houses, that and
ura, from tho rest of the stroit. The house
hid been empty for months past, but a week
ago the bill had bcon taken ihjwn fiom tho
narrow, dusty window; some old-fashioned
furniture had arrived in a cut under the
c'.nrge of ft grim-faced, dear old woman, and
lastly the tenant himself appeared upon the
aoeno, and from the open laths of the Venetian
we anxiously surveyed him, and straightway
name to the afoicsaid conclusion. -,
Will was an invalid there was something
wroDg with bis spine, and often for week to
largo place, and they can't 6nd anything about
her, and thn baby will bo sent to the wrork
houso unless I take it."
"ISabies need a great deal of attention,"
observed I, sagely "Do you really want it?"
"Miss Bryco," said he, "I am a good way
past forty now, and Bince sixteen I ueicr had
anything to rare for or belong to me. I'm
poor and p!ain, but this little creature would
not know that, and I would be better for her
than the workhouse."
"What does your housekeeper think about
it!"
"I haven't Siid anything to her yet; sho is
old, you know; besides, babies sleep nearly all
day, explained he, with an air of calm con
fidence; "and I am always back by six; don't
you think it's possible f I thought you would
understand.
I thought of tho little man's forty lonely
years Will and I had each other and turned
to him suddenly. "Air. Jay, yon helped us
last night, and if you take it I'll help you all
I can with it. I don't know auj thing about
babies, but it can't be very hard to find out."
"Ihank 50U, said lie, gratefully. "Jf you
would look at it sometimes 111 the day, or tell
me what to do, I'm not at all afraid ot the
nights."
At half past b!x tho veiy next morning

Mr. Jay came in with a big bundle in his
arms. There was not a shade of anxiety in his
bright face, as he proudly opened the rough
lhawl to show us his new possession.
"There 1 isn't she a honnie little crcaturo?"
demanded he.
"Indeed, she is. assented ill, warmly.
stretching up from hiss fa to look at the tiny
lace and placid bluo eyes nestling among the
gray folds on his arms. It lacked no welcome
irom any one 01 us mat nignc. we solemnly
debated over the merits of various feeding
bottles and vague fragments of half-forgotten
nursery lore for an hour; and when Mr Jay
gathered up his little waif and left us, it
seemed almost impossible that only two days
before we had been perlect strangers.
Before a week was over, Mr. Jay's baby
was an institution; but ah I the anxious houiB
before we got into that baby's ways it had
to come to that, for it utterly declined to fall
in with ours. We read aloud eh borate the
ories from ponderous tomes, on the propriety
of regular hours and firm ttaining, but one
pitmtl baoy cry scattend them all tn tho tour
winds; and ah I the humiliating blunders I
madejn trying to fashion the little garments
and make it to look like other people babies.
Hitherto, I had ranked as a moderately intel
ligent and accomplished person, but those
melancholy failures brought mc down from
that pedestal forever.
Through the day, the basket that did duty
for a cradle generally occupied one corner of
our tiny sitting room, but at twenty minutes
past six Mr. .lay appeared and took his treas
ure home; wo did not hear much of the after
proceedings from him ho was not a com
municative person but throucli the thin par
tition wall wo often listtncd to his hurried
quarterdeck walk for hours together, liyin
to still its ciying. Air. .lay a hair was rough-
r now, and his general appearanco lost much
mat nau uriiruiauy iuhuii
of its neatness
guished him; but there was a lightness in his
step, as he went down tho street every morn
ing that theie had not been hcrctofi re, and a
look of quiet content was gradually dawning
upon his insignificant face that completely
transfigured it at times.
He had mentioned his new responsibility at
(irimsby's, and made inquiries iu every likely
direction, but tho little waif seemed as com
pletely unknown as though it had como as
we sometimes fancid Mr. Jjv verilv believed
straight from heaen.
She grew quickly into a part of his life. I
asked him merrily ono night what he would
do with her if he chanced to fall iu love, and
Ilia lady objected to this claimant
do nothing further it depended on the child's
strength and he left us to our vigil. It was
the first time we had ever seen a baby suffer.
Hour after hour the old church clock down
the street tolled out the long night, while wo
watched the fluttering little life that had been
so bright and vigorous only yesterday only
yesterday, and it seemed almoat a lifetime.
The fair spring morning was brcakiog across
the houses, when at last the hoarse breathing
grew soft, and the tired baby's lungs relaxed
into a nuiet Bleep. Will's eyes were suspici
ously bright, and my tears fell like rain in the
blessed relief. Only Mr. Jay stood over her
without one word, ana vet 1 think we both
felt that his silence was deeper than our tears.
Theodora seemed the right name for her
alterward; we never gave her any other.
That summer was a very happy one to him.
The blossoming-time, we used to say, of little
Mr. Jay's life; his treasuro flourished like a
rose in June. She was beginning to recognize
him now, and creep across the floor after him,
baby fashion. Midsummer day'sho had her
first pair of blue shoes; Mr. Jay brought them
bick with him that evenirg and proudly
fitted them on. Will laughed at their unser
viceable appearance.
"She will cost you a small fortune in shoes
alone, Jay, if you are going to keep her in
that tort of thine."
Mr. Jay lifted his radiant face from the con
templation of them.
"Ah, if you had only your own to buy as
long as x nave you would understand the
difference."
"All right: only there ia such an institution
as the workhouse. She ought to be running
to meet you in them in a few more months.
Mr. Jay looked down at the tiny feet in his
hand.
"I don't know; if I could keep her always
just as she is now my little Theodora."
Yot there was not many days that he did
not bring some remarkable article that would
bo of little use till she had reached a far more
advanced age; tho extraordinary toys and
books and little garments that were laid up
for her at some distant day; the contrast be
tween the worn, middle-aged face and the
bonnie golden head, always in such close jux
taposition it is a good many summers now,
bnt it comes back as freshly as yesterpay.
The first little cloud came with tho shorten
ing days. It was an advertisement in ono of
the morning papers, ttat Will suddenly read
out one morning at breakfast.
"Information is earnestly reaueB'sd of the
whereabouts of Jane Dawson, late of 31
Chamber street, last seen on the evening of
the 10th of October, having in charge a young
baby five months old."
A description of her dress and appearance
followed.
He dropped tho paper, and we looked at
cauii uiner iu rore uismay.
"Oh, Will, I hope Mr. Jay has not seen
that," I broke out.
"Jane Dawson's friends should have lookc 1
for her soo crif they wanted her si earnestly,"
was his comment. "It's late in the day to

And with reprehensible want of principle
we put the paper in the fire, and preserved a
discreet silence about it.
Two days later, Bitting by the open window
we saw a policeman come down the street and
knock at Sir. Jay's door. Will put his head
out.
"There is no one there;, what is it?
The man leisurely descended the two steps
and took a position whence he could survey
our interior.
"I've come about that biby, sir, as your
neigliW got from us last year.
What about it!" said Will abruptly.
"We think the lawful owners have turned
up. lhcy was in Australia and left the baby
out at nurse. We sent round to them yester
day. They have advertised for it. Maybe
Lice on Poultry.
Have my poultry lice on them ? This is a
question that every poultry man should ask
himself at times. It is safe to say that seven
out of ten persons will answer this in the ne
gative, and also that the bulk of the seven are
slack in looking after the interests of their
fowls. There are very few chickens which do
not have more or less lice on them. It is
needless to say that less rather than more is
desired for their comfort, health and general
welfare. During tho warm days and nights of
July and August, vermin breed very fast, es
pecially when poultry is confined in small
quarters that are not kept perfectly clean. I
have been raising poultry for a great many
years, and I have never been troubled to any
great extent with chicken lice. The way I
have taken to escape the pest is as follows: I
first started with good healthy stock, had
good warm houses, lined with tar paper,
which is vcrn.in proof, and kept the floor and
nests perfectly clean, I always kept a good
stock of air-slacked lime on hand, and when
the nests have been cleaned, put a handful in
the bottom of each, scatter it around a little,
and put the hay on top of it. I treat the floor
the same way, but put sand on top of the
lime, and then with a fine-toothed rake I re
move the droppings from under the roosts
every morning. This can be' done in a few
minutes, and leaves your house clean and
pure. Every nest and roost on the place is
movable, and on the very first appearance of
vermin they are removed and the place either
fumigated with burning sulphur, or sprinkled
with coal oilt then after whitewashing the
nests and roosts they are again put in place.
This may seem to repiesent too much work,
but if you are thoroughly interested in vour
.. -.. -ii 1 .r ... " .
peis you win do more man repaid in seeing
the comfort they take, and in admiring the
smooth and glossy appearance of their feath
ers, at the same time it will be more profit
able as they will be far healthier and lay bet
ter. If tho old fowls are kept p;rfeotly free
from vermin there will be but little trouble
with the young stock, but in case the lice be
gin to make their appearance on them a very
little coal oil put on the tops of their heads
and under the wings will kill the vermin.

possible

quietly, "She is going back to her own peo

There is quite as much difference in tho dis
position of hens as there is in people, Somo
will squall and "jaw" in hen language if you
look into the nest; others seem to enjoy being
noticed and petted. These latter hens are the
ones to set. I never set wild, fractious-natured
Hens. They are restless and impatient, and
apt to break their eggs; and after hatching
they trample the chicks and do not like to
hover them. They aro a sort of "woman's
rights" hen, and the cares of a family they aro
not fitted for. I choose those hens for mothers
that I can move from one nest to another, take
them off the nest or put them on, or "tote"
them around on my arm for half an hour at a
time without their ruffling a feather at me.
The Brahma is one of this class, but they are
too heavy and clumsy to run with young
broods. A cro'-a of Brahma and some smaller
breed makes usually admirable fowls.
If the weather is warm chicks will do well,
if taken from the hen in two or three weeks.
Tney are but very little more eare, and the
hens can go back to the business of laying
eggs. If I set pullets, they usually wean their
brood in three weeks, and then, by a little
attention, you can have the flock tame in a few
days. This is a great point where chickens
run at large, for if a heavy, drenching shower
is seen approaching you can gather the tender
little things into a basket an! carry them
under cover, and by so doing you may save
some which would have been drowned if the
hen had been with them. Cnrd is an excellent
thing to feed the chicks, for it is healthy, and
they will eat it with avidity.
Rather a funny bull waa that made recently
by a member of Parliament in discussing the
question ot trial by jury in Ireland. Becom
ing excited, he exclaimed: "With trial by
jury 1 liao lived, and, by the blessing of
God, with trial by jury I will die."
"Didn't jot tell me, sir, you could ho'd tho
plow !" saul a farmer to an Irishman whom he
had token on trial. "Arrah, Le aisy now,"
slid lit; "how the deuce can I hold it and

Thero is no profit in feediug stock past ita
prime. It is waste of feeil and money. As
soon as any animal begins to fail it should be
disposed ot. Old cows, old oxen, old sows,
ami old hens, form the bulk of the stock upon
many farms. The young animals are sold oil.
This is the reverse of what it wise aud profit
able. Harness should never be kept in tho stable,
where manure it constantly generating larce
quantities of ammonia. This ammonia is rap
idly nbsorhtd by the leather, aud the effei.t
upon the leaner is about tho same as would
result from saturating it with strong lye. In
a wont, ammonia rota leatrur. and henea
keeping harness in the stable is surd to result
m its ilamage, more or leas.
