Perhaps you don't quite understand the meaning of "broken lots" as ap- piled to clothing. It means suit not all made up from the same piece of goods. It doesn't mean that the trous- CTS won't harmonize with the coat or that any one of the articles will be out of place when worn with the other. On the contrary, some exceedingly be- coming combinations can be made at prices that astonish the purchaser. Broken lots and shattered prices go together you will find if you call at our store this month and want suit for yourself or boy.

A Pretty Experiment.

A pretty and interesting experiment., which may be new to some, is that by which the growth of an oak plant can be watched from it's earliest stage.
 Cut circular piece of card to fit the top of hyacinth glass, so as to rest upon the ledge and exclude the air. Pierce hole through the center of the card and pass through ita strong thread, having a small piece of wood tied to one end, which, resting transversely on the card, prevents it's being drawn through.
 To the other end of the thread at tach an acorn, and, having half filed the glass with water suspend the acorn at a short distance from the surface.
 The glass must be kept in a warm room. In a few days the steam which has generated in the glass will hang from the acorn in a large drop. Soon the acorn will burst, and the root will protrude and thrust itself into the water; in a few days more stem will shoot out at the other end, and rising upward will press against the card, in which a hole must be Made to allow it to pass through. .-
 From this stem small leaves will soon sprout, and in the course of a few weeks the experimenter will be reward ed by having sturdy little oak plant several inches in height.-Youth's Com paniOn,

Lack Of Dancing Men in London

 This is dull enough season, viewed from any point, and it is, therefore
 doubly hard on hostesses who have tried to infuse little gayety into it by organizing balls to find that they have piped unto the gomineux in vain. At one or two of the few recent smart dances the girls have been absolutely destitute of partners and have stood, mortified and dull. hoping against hope that some of the exquisites would spare an hour or two when they had grown weary of the clubs. -Lady's Pictorial.

Feelings of 8 Coward.

Oh, it's awful to be coward!
 I have wondered, if man struck me, could l return the blow2 I believe not I believe 1 should sneak off like whipped cur.
 Luckily for me, up to now think I have hidden the fact of my being a coward from all. I don't fancy that even my most intimate friends have the slightest idea Of my cowardly na- ture.
 I dare say my stalwart form and rather stern looking countenance have saved lie from many a blow, for Eve mixed with ''all sorts and conditions of men" in my time, for outwardly look an ugly customer to tackle, but could they glance beneath the surface and see my craven heart I fancy I should come rather badly off.-''A Coward" in London Tit-Bits.

In those days moving machine was such O. wonderful invention that people came from miles in all directions to see MT Walkers purchase, which we think was the first moving machine ever used in this section.
