TORONTO BELIEVES IN SUNDAY
Toronto keeps Sunday in more rigidly
quiet way than any other city of its
size on this continent. The street cars
do not run, the bootblack boys are not
on duty, and all the telegraph offices
are closed except the central one, where
one man remains all day to attend to
important messages. The cab stands
are deserted, and anybody who wants
a vehicle and team must go to the liv-
cry stable. The drug stores are
open at certain hours, and that only
for the sale of medicines. The liquor
shops close at on Saturday evening,
and remain closed until ON Monday
morning.

some to-day, and probably more or
less Tomorrow. Children are tum-
bling down stairs. Women are
lighting fires with kerosene. Boys
are playing with pistols. Big men
are spsaining their ankles AZ they
try to catch the moving train. Ba-
bies will get their little thumbs
caught in the doors. Bruised shins,
dislocated joints and mashed fingers
constantly remind Us that accidents
may take place at any moment.
People who have PERRY DAvIs's

the accidents that befall them.
Those who have not tried it. are re-
minded that they do not have to run
further than the nearest drug stoFs

gate OF the fair grounds, our infor-

tary Of the State Agricultural Soci-

legged, red whiskered farmer who
had in a cage one ot the lankest,
leanest aud long-leggest specimen of
the razor-back genus eve: seen out
of North Carolina, and informed the
secretary that he desired to enter
the animal for a premium. The
secretary surveyed the brute with
the interest with which a modern
savant would scrutinize a new found
specimen of an extinct species of
pre- historic existence, and, evidently
unable to classify it, asked, What
is it ?"
With an expression Of pity for
the ignorance Of the qu~estioner, be
exclaimed
"Well, I'll be burned! The top
cockolorum Of the North Carolina
Fair don't know a hog when he-sees
him"
do you call that a hog ?" asked
the secretary.
"You bet |" answered the farmer.
"And you expect to take a premi-
um on him ?"
"Bet your bottom dollar on it,"
"What quality do you enter him
for ?"

Speed ?" exclaimed the astonish'
ed secretary, why whoever heard
of a hog being entered for speed p
elf you'd lived in North Carolina

wouldn't give a d-n tor a hog tina,
