A Bnsl MIX.

The foreman of Montreal paper Is in
trouble. In making up his forms he mixed
an article on Catholic advances in Africa
with recipe for making tomato catsup
and has been lodging the editorial shotgun
ever since. AS published the article reads
"The Roman Catholics claim to be making
material advances in Africa, particularly
in Algeria, where they have $4,000 adj.
herents and missionary society for Cen
trail Africa. During the past three years
they have obtained u firm footing in the
interior of the continent, and have sent
forth several missionaries into the cqua.
torial regions. They are accustomed ia
begin their work by buying heather
children and educating them. The easiest
and best way to prepare them is to first
wipe them with clean towel then place
them in dripping-pans and bake them till
they are tender. Then you will have nc
difficulty in rubbing them through sieve
and will save them by not being obliged tc
cut them in slices and cook for severa
hours"

A Letter that Came TOO Late.

Mrs. Jennie Dorsey died at Louisville
KY, last night from the effects of arsenic
taken with suicidal intent. She had been
married only few months. Her husband
got out of employment and out of money
and went to Madison, Ind, to try to gel
work. Not hearing from him for several
days, the young wife became respondent
and took poison. Just as she was dying
and before she lost consciousness, an af
fectionate letter was received from her hus
band, saying he had provided home fol
her and asking her to come to him.

by dry night, the course is considered in
sufficiently good shape to stand the racing

Professor Campbell, of the Presbyterian
College, Montreal, believes that he has
found tho key to the Hittte inscriptions
and has sent the result of his investiga-
tions to the Society of Biblical Archaeology
The most striking and important feature
of this work is the identity established by
Professor Campbell, as he believes, between
the Aztecs and the Hittites. He concludes
statement of his discovery in the Montreal
Witness as follows: at is interesting ia
know that We have ON this continent the
remains of a people who played great part
in ancient history. 1t is also gratifying to
learn that by the establishment of the Hit
tite origin of the Aztecs, evolutionism in
philology and ethnology will receive its
death blow"

T. Heritier, the senior pensioner of the
Hotel des lnvalides, has just died at the age
of ninety, leaving n fortune of $4,000. He
was crippled during the last campaign OF
the First Empire, and entered the Hotel
des Invalides in 1915, obtaining at the same
time small office from the Ministry OF
War. For thirty years he saved his pay
and increased his store by selling to his com.
rades all the small articles they were in
need of. The old man had a reputation for
avarice and originality which made him
one of the curiosities of the Hotel des Inva-
lides. Important sums concealed by him
were often discovered in hiding places. A
few months before his death he discovered
that he had nephew, painter, who re-
ceived and nursed him during his last days
and who now inherits his fortune.

The committee appointed by the

roads, seem to observe very strictly
the laws as regards, the lines they
shall follow, and do not look into
the damages the Parish would
have to pay, in case they should
lay a road through the premises
of certain inhabitants for in
stance. we are told that they have
laid one through the house and
premises Of Mr.. John Conner,
we really believe that such sters
should not be taken, though they
are legal, they would be too costly
to the Parish. We hope that tho
Police Jury at their next meeting
will take other steps, and fix it
with Mr.. Conner to take the road
somewhere else on his land.
