There is hardly IA mail but we receive
applications from some library, hospi-
tai, young mems Christian association
reading room, or sewing society, re-
quest TO send the Sun to their institu-
tiOn free, to he kept on file for every
body to read. A few years ago we
used to take such applications as
compliment, and fastened to send our
paper free, because we thought it was
Il mighty mean man that couldn't give
away paper. But when our friends
got us out of the pOOrhOuse the last
would quit that sort of business.-La

DR.. Holland says the most precious

Better give the baby rattle. He
can get lots of fun out of a revolver,
but it is apt to go off and hurt some
body. When you see the baby in the
back yard with a revolver, and a le-
porter looking over the fence and

Prof. Swift says that the comet dis
covered 10y BOrelli, of France, on the
Sth of February, has ''neither nucleus,
tail, nor envelopes" If BoIelli can't
discover any more perfect comet than
that, he'd better retire from the bust
ness, and hand over his telescope to a
man better posted in comets. A comet
without either tail or nucleus is bad
enough, but one without envelopes-
and perhaps minus postage stamps also
is glaring swindle NOrristOUn
