HONEST CONFESSIONS.


II Know what you're going to say she said,
And she stood np looking uncommonly tall.
You are going to speak of the hectic fall,
And say you're sorry the summers dead,
And no other summer was like it, you know,
And can't imagine what made it so.
Now, aren't you, honestly?" YES" said

Why. everybody has seen it here!
Now, aren't you. honestly?' "Yes,'' said.

The London Sewer Hunter.

Mile after mile does the sewer hunter
traverse under ground until tolerably
heavy bag is result Of his labor. Night
or day is all one to the husher. Some
gangs enter the sewers at night and work
on until morning, while others carry out
the search only during the daytime. Rats
abound everywhere, some of them being
of enormous size, large enough to brighten
any beginner at the game. The expert
enced husher, however, takes no notice of
them, and the rats are only too pleased to
sneak away in the darkness.
With finds" in the way of coins of
course the 'humble penny" predominates.
Sixpences and shillings, however, often in
crease the value of the collection, and at
rare intervals rare to please the husher
half sovereigns and even sovereigns are
discovered. Like the flies in amber, the
mystery is how they got there. Among
other articles of intrinsic worth, silver
spoons are most often found, although
shirt studs, diamond rings, silver drink
ing vessels and many other quite out of
place articles swell the list from time to
time.
Lucky finds, such as those above men
toned, do not deter the husher from keep
ing a sharp lookout for less valuable arti-
cles as they float by. His "eagle eye''-
from long PRACTICES capable of judging
the worth of the floating refuse before it
would be even discernible to the ordinary

Overheard at Niagara.

''The Niagara river, you will observe
said the guide up at the falls, runs more
rapidly on the American side than on the
Canadian. This is natural. 1t is due to
the larger degree of quickness in vogue in
the United States. If the falls We're en-
tirely in the Dominion of Canada all the
water that is bound for Lake Ontario
would never get over the precipice, and
Lake Erie would fill up and overflow the
country, and there wouldn't be any coun-
try"
''Thank heaven, then, that it's in the
United States" said the Philadelphia.
"Not by a darned sight," retorted the
guide; ''if you want to fire off any graft
tude you'd just better be glad it's in New
York state. If the falls were in Philadel-
phia they'd be stopping to think all the
time or going to sleep, and deluge would
come of it, and there wouldn't be any Phila.
delphia."
And then he resumed his monotonous
chant of, "And in the next cage you vii
find the whirlpool rapids where Captain
Webb"-

The Students PRAYER.

There was long ago Divinity hall pre-
sided over by most amiable and dignifed
professor. On certain days the senior
students opened the proceedings of the day
with prayer. One morning raw youth
from remote region performed this duty,
and it was memorable occasion. None
who were present can forget how the ven
cradle professor turned and gazed on the
untutored lad, who prayed for him as fol-
lows: Lord, have mercy on our professor,
for he is weak and ignorant. Strengthen
his feeble hands, confirm his tottering
knees, and grant that he may go out and
in before US like the he goat before the
flock. Twenty five Years of St. An

An Odious English Mononolx

1t has been said by Macaulay that some
of the most odious of the patents of mo-
nopoly passed the great seal while it was
in charge of Lord Bacon including that
granted to Sir Giles Monpesson and to Sir
Francis Mitchell Gmmortalized by Mas
singer as Sir Giles Overreach and Justice
Greedy for the exclusive manufacture of
gold and silver lace. This patent is char
acterized by the historian as the most dis
graceful in our history, not only because it
covered spurious manufacture and fraud
ulent dealing, but also because the pat
entees were armed with unprecedented
and scandalous powers, which enabled
them to invade the sanctity of homes and
to arrest persons alleged to be interlopers
in the trade.
The shameful manner in which such
powers could be exercised can be well
imagined. Bacon was not only party to
the granting of this patent, but also a
strong supporter of the patentees and a
protector of their rights when these were
assailed.-All the Year Round.

Over a Game of Chess.

An awful example of the risks to be en-
countered by those who play chess with
adversaries of uncertain temper is recorded
in the ANNALS OF the Four Masters" Two
kings of Irish provinces began game OIL
the best of terms, but he who got the
worst of it seized one of the rocks and
flung it with such force at his royal oppo-
nent that it entered the brain and killed
him on the spot. -Blackwood's Magazine.

Wool Treated with Chlorine.

Attention is called to the fact that wool
which has been treated with chlorine &C
quires stronger affinity for mordants and
dyestuffs, and in consequence is dyed much
deeper shades than untreated wool. This
being the case, care should be taken in SO
treating wool that too much bleaching
powder be not used, from 2 to 81 per cent.

ficient, this to be made into clear solu-

A Norwegian Town.

Hammerfest was burned down three
years ago, and has since been rebuilt in
wood, on first stories of granite. In the
suburbs one finds the old turf rooted
houses, which are more snug than any
other. The turf is laid over the bark of
birch, and is warm in winter and cool in
,ummer. In July it is covered with grass
and flowers, and forms grazing place for
freshly weaned lambs. Children are sent
up to keep the lambs from falling over the
eaves.-Cor. London Truth.

The Influence of Youth,

One of the most eminent men of the
country was known for his stern, rugged
honesty, his tender pity for the weak, his
deep religious faith. But his childhood
had been passed in coarse surroundings,
and the habits of that time had their in
fuence to the end. The anecdotes which
he loved to tell, strong, caustic and peril
nent, were frequently tainted with gross
ness. He regretted this bitterly.
II hate nastiness," he said to friend
once; ''but the words and stories heard
when was a boy stick. can't wash my

State Interference Needed.

''It is strange that states which are so
careful to provide for the safety of luna
tics do not compel railways to keep car
doors locked while trains are in motion"
said Abel o. Smith, addressing a knot Of
travellers that occupied reserved seats in
front of the Southern. ''The necessity of
some such precaution has often been forci
bly, called to my attention. There is moth
ing that gives greater joy to the enterpris-
ing American heart than to jump off a
train beforei it comes to full stop, thereby
saving some half dozen seconds at immi-
nent risk to life and limb. Comparatively
few people who jump off moving cars look
where they are going. While performing
this foolhardy feat one night myself
stepped on a valise. which rolled over and
pitched me under the coach. At another
time l was struck by baggage truck and
tumbled into danger."-St. Louis Globe

Iniurious to the Body.

Physicians say that animals skins are
injurious if worn next to the person. A
similar objection is raised against the use
of animal oils. Lanoline and all cosmetics
containing animal oils have tendency to
make the skin coarse. Vegetable oils, as
cocoanut oil, cottonseed oil, ETC., should be
used instead.-Exchange.

Even very slight hemorrhage is always

Humboldt. an authority on atmospheric

tells of heavy hailstorm which passed
over Tuscany on March IA, 1918, every ice
globule of the entire fall being of beauti-

extraordinary event Carniola, Germany
was treated to fall OF five feet Of blood

hail, which is said to have given ''the
