The celebrated French poet, Saint
Folk, who, in spite of his large income
was always in debt, sat one day in a
BARRIERS shop waiting to be shaved He
was lathered, when the door opened and
a tradesman entered who happened tc
be one of the poets largest creditors.
No sooner did this man see Saint-F Folk
than he angrily demanded his money
The poet composedly begged him not n
make scene.

Certainly said the other, pleased at
the prospect.
Saint-Foix then made the barber q
witness of the agreement and imme-
diately took towel, wiped the lathcl
from his face and left the shop He
wore beard to the end of his days

The changes of terrestrial climate
have been many and various. Myrtles
and tree ferns once fourished in Green
land; coral insects built on the shores of
Melville island; nautiluses sailed over
what must then have been the tepid seas
about Spitzbergen But with the lapse
of ages the scene changed. and worse
than arctic rigors spread into regions
now enjoying temperate climate. Pos,
sibly not for the first time. The Per-
mian was certainly an inclement age,
and its inclemency seems even to have
reached the point of glaciation in the
west of England and Ireland, yet it was
preceded and succeeded by a long prey
alence of tropical conditions.
These assuredly reigned without in
terruption, in north temperate and polar
regions throughout the vast expanse of
Tertiary time. Palms and Cycads then
sprang up in the room of oaks and
beeches in England; turtles and croco-
diles haunted English rivers and estu-
aries; lions, elephants and hyenas
Toamed at large over English dry land.

In divers villages in Pennsylvania,
some of them in the Dunkard settle
meuts, are women who are supposed to
be witches. Some are shrewd enough
not to apply their arts for strangers, hut
to those whom they know, as stated in a
newspaper article some years ago, they
will sell charms to ward off lightning
from buildings, dry up the wells of the
enemies of applicants, force cows to
give bloody milk, cause sickness in the
family, destroy beauty, separate man
and wife and reunite estranged lovers

agreed to, yeas 49,, nays l0:.
Mr. O'Neill moved TO reconsider aud to
lay this motion on the table pending
which Mr. Springer Of Illinois moved an
