Accommodating Road.

A bit of dialogue reported by The New Jamaica affords good specimen of the dialect of the island, and at the same time shows the weakness of the native judgment in regard to distances. ''How far is it to Cherry Garden?'' @'Na too faa, maastah. :"
 "Thank you. Where does this road go?''

Whence Came the eordonaq


 In the absence of definite data one is left to ground theory of the initial in- spiration of the Gordons on the undis- puted tradition of their French origin. In the department of Lot, in the south west of France, there is a townlet of 5000 souls, still known. like the Kin cardineshire fishing village, by the name of Gourden. France believes to this day that Gourdon is the seat of 8 great hidden gold treasure which King Clovis buried there in 511. A chance find in 1842 gives some credenee to the belief. At any rate it might be taken as symbolic of the gift of the race of men which France made to this country.
 The province of Aquitaine, in which Gourdon is tiny dot, wass just the place to breed hardy, adventurous xace, for it had long been the battle ground of southern France, swept by successive hordes from the north. AS early as the eighth century duke of Gourdon was constable of France, and < Che town touched English history when Richard the Lion fell at Chalus by the hand of soldier called Bertram de Gourdon. -Blaokwood' S Magazine.

A story about dog, told in an Eng fish sporting book, "The Man on the March, j" brings out the fact that too much praise may be as injurious as too much fault finding.
 A half bred retriever pulled girl out of the river near her home Of course the dog was much praised and petted, and this brought on what the author calls an attack of rescue on the brain.
