Undertakers' Mistakes.

took box of Grape and slab and
launched forth to find the house of
death. There were sounds of hushed
and hurried consultations within when
l knocked at the door of house block
and half away from the residence of
the deceased customer. Windows on
the opposite side of the street flew open
like magic and the gossps of the Gin

neighbor. l felt d sgusted when the
mistake was corrected. Then an oc-
cassional mistake is made by parties
giving us the wrong number, for in
stances, 230 instead of $50. as the num-
Der of the house. We usually take the
precaut on to inquire if the party who
has engaged us resides at the house
where we are directed to 60 before en-
tering. Many people are superstitious
about undertakers, and think when a
mistake as have described occurs that
some member of the family at the house
visited by mistake will be called away

The Ancient Fame Of English
Ale.

A curious extract may here be given
as indicative of the fame of English ale
among foreigners in the fourteenth and
fifteenth centuries.
1t is taken from "a Relation; or.
Rather, True Account of the Island
of England. A. d. 1900. translated
from the Italian by c. A. Sneyd.' The
deficiency of wine, however. says our
author, lis amply supplied by the
abundance of ale and beer, to the use
of which these people have become so
habituated that at an enterta nment
where there is plenty of wine they will
drink them in preference to it, and in
great quantities. The common people
make two beverages from wheat, barley,
and oats, one of which is called beer and
the other ale; these liquors are much
liked by them-nor are they disliked
by foreigners after they have drank
them four or six times. They arc
most agreeable to the palate when
person is by some chance rather heat
ed. The regulations of the rel gious
houses nearly always make reference
to ale; and it may be inferred from the
evidence we possess that the holy
fathers, who were always strong stick
lers for the rights and privileges of
their order. would brook no interfer-
ence either with the quantity or quality
of their liquor. Cursosities Of die and

Gospel Truth of Newspaperdom.

The newspaper of to-day must stand
or fall solely on it's own merits. Its
circulation and its value to business as
an advertising medium, like the quality
of its contents, are practically visible to
the whole intelligent reading public.
and it is judged by other considerations
than regulation figures of copies print
ed or boastful references to its
literature. Whether many or few read
public journal of any popular preten-
sions is as we'll known to the public as
it is to the publisher, and whether intel
ligent and thrifty people are its readers
or whether the idle worshipers Of licen-
tiousness most welcome it, is always
justly judged by all whose favor is OF
value to leg innate journalism. The
successful newspaper Of to-day and OF
the future is the public journal that
trusts the intelligence of newspaper
readers; that avoids foolish controver-
sy; that gives all the news in the fresh
est and most reliable shape; that stamps
integrity in every column of its pages,
and that advances with the matches
progress of the best civilization and the
best government of the earth. -Phita.
