Mr.. kipling, the father OF the young

Travelling in Kashmere, Mr.. kipling
was urging upon n native the advant-

how the Prophet had once cut of the

servant. The old man is seventy-iive
years old, and has never lived out OF
the family.
He has never been scoldea even,
and no complaint was ever made
against him for any cause. He never
seemed to take any interest in religion
or funerals, and yet has always
been honest, truthful, and NOR

He has never been known to lie
down, always taking his sleep sitting
up in a straiyht-hack chair. He never

Japan Drinks at Uniform Prices.

money. If. you want beer, whiskey,
appolinaris sour, cocktail, toddy, a
glass of champagne, or champagne

Ven,ilate the Stable.

Ventilators in stables are often of
much Importance to the purity of the
air and the health of the animals. and
they may be provided with little ex-
pense. As the portion above the
building should be at the peak or
center, and as the trunk or tube
should be at one side, and not in the
middle OF the barn nor stable, where
1t would be in the way, it may be
made to pass from the side up to the
peak, occupying but little space i'm.

The Right to Fresh MIX on Sunday

The Right to Fresh MIX on Sunday
A great religious question has just
been decided in the island of Arran,
where Robert Keso, farmer and au
elder in the Free Kirk. was admonish-
ed by his church session for supplying
fresh milk to the Duchess of Hamilton
on a Sunday. The minister held that
as the Jews OF old only received fresh
mamma six days in the week, the Ouch
ess had no right to expect fresh milk
on seven. But the elder was contu-
macious, and appealed to the presby-
terry. He argued that his milk was
not mama, or miraculous, and per-
versely refused to remain fresh for
twenty-four hours. The presbytery
took this view OF the case, and order
ed the admonition to be withdrawn

How one Little Boy Improved.

Jimmy was the stinsiest boy you

him about it: but he couldn't see any
reason why he should give away what
he wanted himself.
