A NOTABLE AFFAIR.

Monday, the l4lh, was indeed a
golden day in October. The tinted
trees in silvery sheen are unfolding
their beauty, displaying gems of
every tint most charming to the
sight. Nature in all loneliness APP
pears and all things happy and
bright herald the bridal morning,
The very earth smiles to gladden. the
union of CUNT A, Elliott and Mas
Emma j. Cooper. Man wooes and
wins the flower to wear it as the
victor's trophied crown; whilst WON
an, when she glories in her love, is
more like the dove in noiseless con.
stancy.
The invited guests to witness this
quiet and seclusive, yet very elegant
marriage, pray that blessings may
ever surround them and the future
of life be unclouded as now.
This could be rightly styled per-
feet union, the contracting parties
being among the most talented and
popular young people in our social
circle. But forgive the wrong il
some hearts bend down like violets
after rain when they received the
knowledge that love had sent his
swift-winged messenger to claim
Emma Cooper, one of Gods purest
and highest types of beautiful wom-
anhood. Society, church and home
will miss her greatly. True she will
reside In our midst, but nearer joys
and duties will claim her noble
heart. But IL makes the sacrifice
much easier when we remember II is
to bless and crown the life of such
perfect gentleman as Mr.. Elliott.

There are persons with the bad habit of
meddling with what does not concern them,
and there are children who have been taught
no better than to touch, if they can, what
ever takes their fancy. These are the people
bitten by dogs Not once in ten thousand
times does dog modest person who minds
his own business, no matter how grabbed the
dog may be.
If, however, advises writer in "Our
Dumb Animals, you are bound to approach
and touch dog, do it properly. There is
only one way. 1t is this: Put out your hand
easily and confidently to the dog, so that he
may smell it. Put it to his nose. If he
shifts at it or wags his tail or otherwise
shows friendliness, then you may speak to
him and pat him on the head if you like, and
perhaps use other familiarites; but if, when
you offer your hand, the dog remains sullen
and passive, the sooner you take away your
hand the better. Never approach strange
dog with either timidity or menace; but, as
we have said, the best way is to let all strange
dogs alone, and get any desired information
about them from those who have the honor
of their personal friendship

cases. Many persons were cured by it
after the doctors had given them up.

Deaths by Lightning.

At a recent meeting of the London Meteor
illogical society a paper was read on the
deaths caused by lightning in England and
Wales from 1852 to 1880, as recorded in the
returns of the registrar general 1t was
stated that the total number of deaths from
lightning during the Twenty-Five years
amounted to SAG, of which 442 were of males
and 1O4 of females. 1t is also stated that in
consequence of their greater exposure the in
habitants of rural districts suffer more from
lightning than those of towns 1t was shown,
likewise, that nearness to the west and south
coasts reduced the liability to injury by light
ming, and that distance from the coast and
high land seemed to increase it.

Removed from Rome.

The papal residence was for seventy years
or more not in Rome In Hallam's middle
Ages" it is said that Clement V, the sue
cessor of Benedict XI, at the instigation, it is
commonly supposed, of the king of France,
by whose influence he had been elected, took
the extraordinary step of removing the papal
chair to Avignon Q3O5. In this city it re-
manned for more than seventy years, period
which Petrarch and other writers Of Italy
compare to that of the Babylonish captivity.
Another authority places the removal of the
papal chair to France in 1909, and as it re-
manned there over seventy years it covered
the reigns of John XXI, Benedict XII, Gle
ment VI, Innocent VI, Urban V, Gregory
XI and Urban VI.

the surface again In a case or ren crown
ing the individual first sinks to certain
depth and then ascends to the surface Of the
water, where, if he be not good swimmer,
he struggles to clear his lungs and mou'i and
to obtain fresh air. As water is generally
taken in with the inspired air, he sinks for a
short distance, and then by his exertions
again succeeds in reaching the surface.
These struggles are repeated until tn lungs
and stomach are filed with water, with the
result that the general specific gravity of the
body is increased. The body then sinks to
the bottom. The duration of this contest for
life viii vary according to the age, sex,
strength and general condition of the indi-
viduaL The drowning person who does not
struggle, and succumbs to cramp or ex-
haustion sinks at once

Prefixes to Names.

''Fftz" is an old Norman word signifying
son, evidently from the Latin filius French,
fls). The Scotch ''Mac," the Irish "O'," the
Cymric zap" and oriental ''Ben," it is pre-
fixed to proper names to signify descent, as in
the Norman names Fitzwilliam, Fftzwalter,
Fitzgerald. A later application of it has been
to denote the natural sons of royalty, as in
Fitzroy, Fitzjames and Fitzclarence. The
Russian termination (which" is disguised
form of the same word.

A Dreaded Task.

A task never grows smaller or lighter by
sitting down and lamenting that it must be
done, and there is an old maxim that teaches
SIS that "a thing begun is half done" The
following, told in Golden Days, illustrates
that "He doubles task who breads it,"
A farmer friend of mine has boy of IA
years, named Billy, who is like a good many
other boys Of my acquaintance. His heart is
heavy, and cloud Immediately overspreads
his mental horizon when he is asked to make
himself useful.
Billy said Mr.. H, one day when 1
was out to the farm, ''why don't you go to
work on that little patch of potatoes?"
"Aw," whined Billy, ''there's so many of
them taters I'll never get them hoed."
''You won't if you don't begin SOON"
81 hate to begin"
allow are you ever going to do the work
If you don't beginp
'Well, III begin pretty SOON"
His father walked away and I heard Billy
exclaim, in a tone indicating great mental
distress:
plague on them old tatersl 1t makes me
sick to think about them"
"Why do you think about them then" I
said, laughingly.
1--WE got to-" he replied, dolefully, with a
rsorrowful shake of the head. "Tve been
thinking about them ever since got up this
morning"
Chow long, now, Billy, will it really take
you to hoe themp
''Wen, at least an hour"
eAnd you've been distressed about it ever
since you got upFh
"Well, hate TO hoe taters.n
@And you've been up little more than
five hoursF'
''WeII, I-T-. Billy began to grin, took
up his hoe and said, ''By jing, never
thought Of thatI"
And the potatoes were hoed in just forty
minutes

11rT1E PETER TAXING HOME ELS PIG.

But Just here the dream broke OFF or
turned into something else. And Peter heard
the droIlest sounds under his window and
saw two big fat pigs, and one of them winked
his eye.
"And so he thinks he's going to eat US, does
hel hal ha! hal oofl oofl quee-e-et" said the
pig who winked.
'sWen, now suppose we should just turn
round and eat himi quee-e-e! oofl oofI hal

And Peter was so frightened he cuddled
down in bed and shut his eyes tight and
pulled the bed clothes over his head, and
never looked out till his mother came and put
them back and said:
SECT up, little Peter, and feed your little
piggie. Little Men and Women.

Eun nr Wood

Dry wood gives hotter fire, and is more
economical to burn than green wood, because
the latter contains more water, and q large
part of the heat of the fire is wasted in con-
verting it into steam, which passes off up the
chimney, thus carrying the heat into the
outer air, where it is wasted.

Turn Down the Wick.

Oil collects on the outside of lamps, because
of the capillary attraction of the wick, which
draws it up from the inside, and allows it to
run over the top of the tube in which the
wick is placed. To prevent this, turn the
wick down below the top Of the wick tube
when the lamp is not in use.

THE RAIN SWEPT FROM THE CLOUD WITH A



Then 1t swept from the cloud with rush;
Sharply raped at the flowers door,
Little brooks, with a silvery gush,
Leaped away TO the sea once more.
How the drowsy old trees frightened upi
Peeped the daisies in caps and frills;
While the crocus and buttercup
Smiled a welcome from wales and hills.
How it danced DER the ground in its glee,
To the ripple of music shrilll
How it glistened on bush and tree,
When the sun burst out warm and still
But it stopped not moment, that rain,
Till the bluebirds, in rushing flight,
It had tangled again and againl
Then it silently swept from sight.

1t was the prettiest little pig with curl in
his tail and the darlingest of pink noses. You
would never have dreamed, to look at him,
that he could turn into big, fat, bristly
beast, weighing 400 pounds But that was
just what little Peter did dream. And he
dreamed it the very night after he had taken
the little pig home to the pig house beside the
back door He dreamed what nice pink hams
he would make and what juicy steaks and
