collectors gather up something Ike

range from half q cent to 8 cents on
each bottle. According to the figures
given by dealer, the average profit
on each bottle is three-fourths of q

Instructions For Travel. 1912.

The author, Howell by name, has
a great deal of good to say on behalf
of travelling, and he has no patience
with homebiding folk who never
leave the parish in which they were
born. "Such slow and sluggish poo
pie may be said to be like snails OF
tortoises in their shells, crawling al
ways about their own home, or like
the cynique shut up always in q
tub"
The first country that is most
requisite for us islanders to know Is
France, land the younger one goeth
to France the better, because of the
hardnesse of the accent and pronun-
citation. which will be hardly over
como by one who has passed his mi
nority, and in this point the French
tongue may be said to be like for
tune, who, being a woman, loves
youth best" after which pretty
conceit the author advises the in
genuous youth when he gets to
France to retire to some university
to learn the language. Information
may be picked up by the inquiring
mind from chat with "some an

English Statesmen Warned il They Make

Too Long Speeches.
The press rate for telegraphing il
England is IS cents per 100 words

After buying these terrapins keep
them in an icebox where the temper.

This temperature will prevent their

when upper and lower shell easily

Novelty In swindlins.

A young gentleman applied the
other day to a clergyman after
church for half a sovereign that he
had dropped into the collection plate
by mistake for sixpence. He could
not afford to give half a sovereign,
he said, and should be glad to have
his nine and sixpence back again.
Curiously enough, when one consid-
ers how prone is the natural man to
be generous at other peoples ex-
pense, the clergyman declined to &C
cede to his request. He examined
the contents of the collecting plate
and found only very few gold
pieces, the donors Of which were all
identified. The device in question,
therefore, appears to be q novelty in
the art of swindling and must be
added to the long list of plants. :"
