discovered in the middle of the summer
in trunks or closets supposed to have

simple and effective plan is to heat
stove lids or an iron shovel redhot, pour
vinegar upcn the iron and let the fumes
penetrate the cracks which could not be

particularly fond Of new plaster, and the
settling Of the walls Of new houses af-

town to the elder members of their
society took place al @. A. r. Hall

Daniel O'Connell, by Raymond J.
Trainor, richly deserved the ap-
plause and praise it received. The
subject was handled in an eloquent
and scholarly manner. Mr.. Nc
Donald gave an entertaining dis
course, and explained why the Irish
honor their patron saint. His clos

Emerald Isle, and loyalty and de-
VOtiOn to the stars and stripes"
At the conclusion of the programme
the audience were invited to partake
of refreshments, prepared by the

added much to the occasion. There
were about 400 present, and before
dispensing the entire company rose
and sang the praise OF America in
those beautiful words, My country,

the remainder was unanim ously
voted to be given to the poor.

DAIRYING THAT PAID.

Over and over again it has been
proved that dairying conducted on
genuine business prlnciples-conduct
ed with view to making a prime
article and getting a good price for
the same-can be made to pay.
We have recently come across
some figures from the dairy record
of F. c. McGill Of Barnet, which
show that there is money in the
right sort of butter. The figures
cover a period of butter making
from Jan. l, 1879, to Jan. 1, 1894,
sho wing the amount sold by Mr..
McGill each year and the sum re-
ceived therefor. This dairyman sold
his butter to E. & T. Fairbanks &
Co., and the aggregate amount
which Mr.. Spencer of the groceries
department has paid over to Mr..
McGill is greatly to the latter's
credit. Here are the figures:
