. r ? ;*?T : w Chinese Garrtion Forgotten. Marcel Monnier, a French literary man, spent a considerable portion of 1899 in an extended journey through China. On his way from Pekin to Tien-Tsin he passed through the village of Yo-shi-Woi Here a garrison of Chinese Imperial troops .had been 6i.itioned since the outbreak' of the war with Japan. The troops had been forgotten by the imperial military authorities at Pekin. Since they were dumped down there not an order had reached them and not a cent of pay had been distributed among them. Bogoi Mnunny CJoth. There is always an active demand ? i. j. for mummies. -OKI Egypt leave enough mummies to go round. Tourists in Egypt, if the whole body ? of the defunct is not obtainable, are satisfied with C hone, or a fragment of the bandage whieli supposably covered an embalmed body. The most recent story runs as follows: An Englishman. returning from Egypt, exhibited a piece of cloth said to have belonged to a mummy, or at least sold to him as such. Going to Manchester, he showed his bit of cloth. There was ? cloth expert present. The experl looked at the piece of cloth. He passed It through his fingers. Then he said "Number Eighty-five," and he shook his head in a doubtful manner. "How Number Eighty-five?" asked the owner of the cloth. "Because this bit ol cloth was manufactured at a mill al Oldham, and I sell it by the thousands of yards every month. A great many pieces r>9f. these goods go to Egypt Demand there fairly active." From this g? it seenis that the manufacture of the j'. mummy is a regular business in Egypt One recalls the old farce in which the man whose coat tails had been torn | off bwgllt those identical pieces ol v. cloth later on a part of the dress of o niuiuuu.

And instantly her pure heart went out in pity to this strong man. who wa3, she thought, so much in need of a helping hand. Ah, dangerous pity! Myra's embroidery lay in her lap. She had not set a a stitch in it for the last fifteen mm- 1 utos. Iler great, earnest violet eyes were raised to Justin Seymour's dark ] ones, as she sat talking to him. * A footstep sounded In the hallway without, and Justin Seymour rose and abruptly quitted the room as Philip Ayiner sauntered in. What meant Justin Seymour's sud 1 den departure when Philip entered? ' This same thing had happened before, 1 but Philip notiecd it now for the first time. lie looked over at Myra. With 1 cheeks aglow her head was bent over ' her embroidery; nor did she raise her eyes to see who entered. He crossed over to the window and ' looked out for several moments, and still M.vra did not raise her eyes to ; look at liiiu. "Myra," ho said, suddenly turning : from the window, "you are getting in- 1 terostod in Mr. Seymour, or he is getting interested in you?which is it?" "Perhaps we are getting interested in each other," said Myra, smiling. "Myra, you should not get interested , in Justin Seymour. He is not a good uian?he had led a hard life?" "Philip Ayiner, for shame! to speak ; of your friend in such a manner! Do you forget, sir, that you have left this , man, who is so very bad?who has led such an awful life?und me to enter tain each other every day since you came here?" crieil Myra, indignantly. Philip Ayuier's face turned scarlet. 1 EIi> crossed over to Myra's side. "Myra," he said, putting his arm about her. "Don't touch me, don't! I cannot Dear it!" said Myra, drawing from him, and, frightened at her own words, she covered her face with her hands. "So it has come to this!" thought Philip, every vestige of color leaving his face. They were engaged to he married. Their parents had managed the engagement for them while they were too young to do it themselves. But Philip was very well satisfied with the parental arrangement, not that lie was desperately in love with Myra, hut he liked her. and she possessed a fortune?and money was Philip Ayuior's god. And Myra was willing to please her parents. Philip was handsome, she liked him. but love she knew aothing about it until?until just now, when Philip nut his arm about her, and she knew just .is surely as she did in the days that followed that she loved Justin Seymour. "Myra, 1 think your conduct needs an explanation." "Yes, it does," raid Myra, quickly, her hands dropping from her face. 4,I never understood niy own heart till t<*day. Philip, I do not love you; I can never be your wife." "You do not love me, but you love Justin Seymour?a man who never cares for anybody but himself?a rover on the face of the earth: he is here today, and away to-morrow, having j faith in no one, caring for no one but j himself." "Philip"' came reproachfully from Siyra's lips, but he turned away with a frown, left the room and went In search of Justin Seymour. It was evcnlug of the same day. "Miss Blaine, I am going away tomorrow morning, too early to see you, so I will say good-bye now."

It was true, then, what Philip had said. This man would never care anything for her; he was here to-day and away to-morrow. Myra struggled for composure. "This is quite unexpected, Mr. Seymour. I hope we haven't failed to make your visit here a pleasant one?" said Myra, looking straight before her. "Miss Blaine, if it will give you atfy pleasure to know it, I am leaving your happy home a far better man than I was when I entered it." v^lyra looked up quickly and met the d^rk eyes of Justin Seymour fixed tenderly upon her. "Oh, I am so glad, Mr. Seymour!" she cried in her old. impulsive, earnest manner, and, laying her hand upon his arm, she continued: "I may never again see you In this world, Mr. Seym'our, but I hope you will live so that I shall meet you there ," she was going to add, "where we will know no more parting." ^'."Good-bye, Myra," was all the answer he njade her. His voice was husky. For a moment he held her hand in his, and the next Myra was alone. Myra sat in a dazed state where he left her. Again she heard him call her Myra, again she felt his hand tremling like a leaf. And this man cared nothing for her. A year passed away. Myra Blaine was visiting an aunt in a distant village. It was Sunday, and she sat in the village church by her aunt's side, sat electrified, listening to that rich, powerful voice that led the village choir. Surely, there was but one owner for that voice. "Who is it that leads the singing, aunt?" said Myra, carelessly, after seroe ciio vrniknii acrosB the church yard with her aunt. "It is Mr. Seymour. Do you like his singing?" "I think I know Mr. Seymour," said Myra, instead ol' answering her aunt's question. "Has he lived here long?" "This is his native place. He was away from here quite a while, though. He must have sowed his wild,'.oats while he was away, for since he back he is a changed man. There iP; his mother's grave." Myra paused before the handsome monument which her aunt pointed out, on which was inscribed that simple, but most beautiful of all names, "My Mother." . "I will remain here a little while, aunt," said Myra, aud her aunt left lier. How long she stood there leaning against the railing she didn't know.She was roused by the sound of a footstep on the gravel walk near her. She was not in the least surprised, but lie ilrew bac-k as if doubting his eyesight. Myra tieict out ner nanu. "Mr. Seymour, this is, indeed, a strange meeting." "Mre. Aymer," was.all he said; as lie took lier proffered hand. "My name is not Mrs. Aymer; I am still Myra Blaine," said Myra, smiling. "Yon arc not Mrs. Aymer!" .Pried Justin, his eyes beaming with cjei%ht. Before I bade you good-bye that evening a year ago Philip told me that you were to be his wife in a few weeks." "Philip Aymer told an untruth. I was nothing to him that night. The engagement between him and.me was broken that morning," said Myra, with lowncast eyes and blushing cheeks. Ho took courage from the;expresslon nf i)pr f.ice. Her hand was, still in Iiis, ami ho put Lis arm about her now. "."\Iyra, here at mj; mother's grave, let ine tell you that it was because I loved you that I left you so abruptly lliat evening. I could not stay to see >*ou his wife." "And it was because I loved you a year ago that I refused to marry him," said Myra, softly. And at last her pure love was crowned with happiness.?New York News. "Wanted IHe Temperature.

The majority feed it to their calves when the whev Is tweutv-four lionv I i old. It depends on the receptaclo the swill has been kept In, whether ft ia then in a proper state for best results. If it has been stored in a filthy whey* .vat or barrel, it Is unfit to feed to any domestic animal. In hot weather even after daily washing and scalding of the storage tub, care should be taken that the whey does not get too sour. Keep it in a cool, airy place.

The l^ees may have been badly neglected in autumn, and need attention to save them. Yet we are debarred from supplying their wants owing to the condition of the weather. Bees should be in the very midst of their quiet slumber with good and ample stores surrounding the cluster in ready reach at this season of [ the year, if we are to count on them as profitable colonies the following spring. It is better to let some colonies starve out and die rather than to undertake to go through the apiary to supply to any extern: provisions, una thus arouse the bees to activity during mid-winter. Such untimely molestation will usually be followed by injury rather than any good. Not only does it endanger the welfare of bees by feeding in mid-winter, but for the same reason we should not in any way do any work with them that will arouse them to activity during this period. Bees when in good condition are in the most quiet dormant state during the mid-winter monthd.and nothing should occur with them to change this condition. Opening the hives, or handling them in any way, should be avoided even if the weather is line and they are out for a fly. I would not apply this rule at any other time, but just as soon as mid-winter is well past I would make a careful inspection of every colony during fine weather, when the bees are out for a good fly, furnishing plenty of candy to all those short of stores. Bees begin to show considerable activity during the month of February In any locality, and. it Ihus seems that they are on the alert to get ready for their spring work, and indeed It Is altogether necessary that they should.?

Milk should be removed to the uairy -oorn as soon as drawn from the cows. nhtfli-vo find nnfnrnr> 11ir? ntmnst ! cleanliness about the ecnvs, stables and ilairy utensils. The time to dehorn a calf with cny chemical dchorner is before the horns jrow through the skin. Wheat Is practically of the same value as barley or corn, pound for pound, for feed in the dairy. Clean cheese shelves thoroughly after each sale, and no not place new :heese on them until this is done. Any extremes of temperature in the milk or cream, either freezing or heating, are Injurious to the butter made from it. One of the greatest triumphs in but ter making is to produce an article on ii high grade, and have it so without nny variation from quality from day to day. If a "baby" separator is used the milk ought to run through it as soon :is convenient after leaving the udder, and the cream be afterward properly matured. Pastures, yards and all places where milch cows are kept should be free from decaying substances or anything lhat will produce noxious smells. These will reappear in the milk if they are present. First-class butter should not carry any more cu/d than can possibly be helped. Its presence renders deteriorjitinii more rapid. Salt is a good pre servative, but t\Iie poorer grades mast always be avoided, as tliey are detrimental to the keeping qualities ol' the butter as well ns the flavor and appearance.
