Some Witty Replies.

Lord Henry Bentinck, though he
was shortsighted and had to wear
glasses, was an admirable rider and
a most popular master of hounds. 1t
was he who inquired from a rash
cavalier who was overriding his
hounds, May ask, sir, do you smell
the foxf" and who said to a large
landed proprietor suspected Of vulpi-
cidal acts, on his remarking that he
regarded a particular wood as quite
seminary for foxes, II think, gen.
eral, you mean cemetery"
Spending Christmas with friend,
Lord Henry was asked at luncheon
by the rector after service in church
which had been profusely adorned
with evergreens, but in which the
congregation had been small, what
he thought of the decorations. II
thought" he replied, that there was
plenty of cover, but very little game.

Street Car Etiquette.

The etiquette of elevated railway
travel is elusive. Some gentlemen
still punctiliously rise to give their
seats to women. Others incline to
the view that they can still merit the
title of gentleman and hold on to
their seats into the bargain. Whether
this is the result of the general at
tempt of women to elbow their way
into the callings of men or the out
come of some more subtle deterio-
ration on the part Of men themselves
offers pretty field for speculation.
Whatever the cause, the fact of this
changed attitude remains. So far as
elevated railway travel is concerned
the resulting rule of polite conduct
seems to resolve itself into some such
shape as this: If you have seat you
are justified in keeping it regardless
of the number of women that may
happen to stand in consequence, but
if you are standing when a seat hap
pens to be vacated it is not good form
to engage in a contest with a woman
for it.-New York Times.

Whales and the Moon.

"You wouldn't believe that fish
at least spouting fish-are influenced
by the moon2" said an old sea cap
tain. well, they are. I've seen 1t
time and again, and I've called other
peoples attention to it, too, but !
never found any one else who had
noticed it. Sometimes when you are
at sea and whales are to be seen fre
quently-it may be at the full moon
or at a new moon-well, all at once
they will disappear and you won't
see one for two weeks. Then Just as
suddenly the water will be full of
them I've compared notes with
other vessels. Maybe they were sixty
miles or more away at the time and
the whales there would be numerous
just at the same time they appeared
near our vessel. Oh. you fellows
needn't laugh. There is something
in it.
"And then I've noticed another
thing about this same class of fish.
When you catch them you will al
ways find that they have the pupil
Of the eye the same shape as the
moon at that time. If the moon is
full the pupil will be round, and if
it is half or quarter the sight
will be like crescent. San Fran

How Cards VIII Run.

"How cards will run" is we'll illus
trated in a series Of games Of crib
bage during six years played between
a gentleman and his wife of Belfast
In the last six years they have played
1880 games together, and Monday
evening they were two games apart
that is, one had lead Of two
games in the series=-and last week
they were even games.
At no time during these years has
either one had lead Of over seventy
games, and on one evening the lady
won thirteen straight games. Now,
after six years of straight playing,
one is two games ahead. 1t all shows
that luck or chance at cards evens
things up in the long run.-Belfast

PROPOSITION FOR PURCHASE OF LOT.

fkOPOSlIlON FOR PURCHASE OF LOT.
On the 9TH Of February, 1885, we received
proposition from Dugan Bros. to sell to the
district lot in block 8, it being next south of
lot 3 now owned by the district and occupied
by the Little Central School. The price ask
ed is $500. Their reason for making the
proposition was the contemplated erection OF
residence thereon in the coming spring, and as
such improvement would add to the cost of the
lot, while being of no especial value to the
district, they desired to know the intentions Of
the taxpayers in the matter of the purchase Of
additional ground in that vicinity for school
purposes. 1t is the opinion of your Board that
If new building is erected on the block now
occupied by the Big Central School, more land
should be provided for, either by the purchase
of this lot and the closing of one-h half Of the
alley as now laid out and the opening of
new alley on the south side of the Dugan
Bros. lot to connect with old alley through
balance of block or by selling the lot on which
the Little Central building stands and the pur-
chase of the remaining quarter block on Church
street, thus giving one-half block for school
and building purposes, that being as small
tract OF land as will answer the purposes of
an S-room building. The lot is S21SxI65.
This is matter which will have to be consid-
cred sooner or later, but whether it should re-
ceive especial attention now, or be deferred
until new building is required, you will be
able to determine.

SEWER AT NORTH SALEM.

SEWER AT NORTH SALEM.
In our report for 1891, we referred to the
matter Of sewer from the North Salem school
to the river, estimating the cost at about $4,000.
Since that date two more school rooms have
been added SO that a this time the number of
scholars enrolled is 467, with an average at
tendance averaging 272. Four vaults have
already been covered, and the summer Of 1893
will require the covering Of two more. This
state of things cannot long continue, if the
health Of those in the vicinity is to be consd-
cred. We deem this matter of great import
ance and one which should receive serious con-
sideration at your hands.
