When Lady Blessington sent D'orsay to complain of some delay on the part of her publishers, otley & Saunders, he used very high language. A dig. nified man in E high. white neekeloth, who was listening to him, said: Count D'Orsay, would sooner lose Lady Blessington's patronage than submit to such personal abuse" There was nothing personal,' said the count; eff you are Otley, then damn Saunders; If you are Saunders, then damn otley."

nenent of Hlgn Attitudes.

Going to the mountains for benefit Of cases of pulmonary disease is a regular thing among persons thus afflicted That there is Q reason for this many people understand, although they do not know precisely what it is. A num- Der of medical scientists have been working on this question, and have discovered that the increase in the red blood corpaseles, when one moves from lower to higher attitudes, is very mark ed. As it is known that the absence of red corpuscles causes debility and weakness, so the presence of many of them indicates higher degree of v!- tality and better state of health. High. cool air is very beneficial in complaints of this sort. It is partly for this req son that the cold air treatment for consumptives is so highly commended,

teachers and pupils are going over as
much of the town as possible in look
ing up interesting things for eXhi-
bition. There is not time enough to

Gearhart's Lecture.

The second entertainment in the
High School Course for this season. a
lecture by q. A. Gearhart, of Buffalo
\. Y, was given in Central hall, last
evening. Despite the many counter
attractions the hail was well filled
The theme of the lecture was, "The
Coming Man" The speaker is one of
the finest ever in Yale, with a magni-
ficent voice, most pleasing in its modu-
lations, and his gestures were natural
entirely free from the mechanical and
mere pose elements. In listening to
the lecture his hearers has the impress
sion that the speaker is trying to i'm
press you with the ideas and spirit of
his speech and not himself or his man
ner. The theme as presented was both
masterful and pleasing, solid but with
out mite of sedative effect, and the
interest felt by the audience grew more
and more intense as the speaker pro-
gressed. We are quite sure that none
could listen without profit, and the
people went home with an inspiration
to live nobler and better lives. We
are also sure that all had the sense
that the lecturer was not simply aim
ing to please, but also do his hearers
good

The Burns Banquet.

The anniversary banquet of the
Yale Burns Club, was held at the
Rapley House, Thursday evening, JAN
%, 1900. The spacious dining hall was
filled with guests, many of these COM
ing from Croswell, Marlette, Capac,
Emmett, and the surrounding regions
The menu need not be described. To
say that it was of the Rapley House
style, is full proof that it was up-to
date, elegant, and appropriate i'll all
particulars.
The Burns Club president, James
McColl, acted as toast master of the
evening, and called upon, DR.. Pater-
son, of Capac, II. S. Campbell, of Port
Huron, G.. A. Gearhart, of Buffalo, n.
Y, and Harvey Tappan, of Yale, for
short speeches. Each of these gentle.
men made most happy responses and
were roundly cheered for the senti-
ments expressed and the happy hits
made in their speeches. Mrs. VIM.
Mason was called upon for a reading
and she responded with picture of
how courtship was conducted in days of
yore. The reading was so appropriate
and happily given, that the dishes rat
tied with the thunder of applause
which followed its rendering.
The music of the occasion, consisting
of an opening piece, America, and a
closing one, Auld Lang Syne, sang by
all present Mrs. JOSS, sang a beauti-
full Scotch solo, and the Male Quartette
responded to numerous calls in most
pleasing renderings. The instrumental
music was by Simington's orchestra,
of Port Huron. The Banquet Ball was
held in Michaels' hall, and was attend
ed by almost all guests except the
aged and crippled. The dance was
continued throughout the night, and
all were delighted and pleased with
this as other features of the celebra-

West Brockway Dedication.

The new Nj. p. church in West
Brockway was dedicated with apprO-
pirate ceremonies on Sunday. Jan. q,
1900. The building is beautiful and
commodious edilice and credit to the
community in which it stands. The
structure is of solid frame with brick
veneer, 30x40 feet, with SKIS feet al
cove and corner tower. The entire
cost was 81 600.
On day of dedication it was packed
with people who had come to assist in
or witness the dedication ceremonies
and the audience joined heartily in the
songs and service. Rev. Harger, of
Capac. read the scripture lesson, Rev.
Crandall. of Jeddo, made the invocation
prayer, and Rev. J. w. Grey, of Clio,
preached the dedication sermon. Rev.
Traver had charge of the financial
features of the service, with Rev.
Weaver for assistant.
The report of committee showed that
about $3.50, was yet to be raised to
clear the building Of debt. The sub
scriptions came in rapidly and cheer
fully. The Ladies' aid which had al
ready given $l52, pledged their society
for $7S additional. The junior aid had
placed fine organ in the church,
carpeted the rostrum, and yet they
pledged $15 more and $100 for each
member of the society, which amount
ed in all to 500.
The report showed that workmen
employed had made liberal donations
which was q material aid and greatly
appreciated The financial efforts
were continued over until Monday
evening, when after a sermon by Rev.
Traver, a supper was served to all,
which netted $29, not including the So
donation from editor MenZies. The
total raised at all the services was al
most 500. The members of the church
are both happy and proud-happy over
the results, and proud of their neat edi-
flee, and very, very thankful for the
generous aid of friends i'll the COM
munity and surrounding country. ~
The foregoing shows what pluck and
push can do even amid discouraging
circumstances. While every one is
happy and everybody is praising every
body else, one hard working and self
sacrificing brother must not be for
gotten. The Pastor, Rev. J. b. Keith,
is that brother. He has stood at the
helm i'm all kinds of weather, not fear
ing the winds and waves and cannot
have too much credit for the final sue
cess which has crowned the efforts of
the congregation.

The School Entertainment.

The school entertainment given in
the M. f.. church last Friday evening
was an unqualified success. The build
ing was filled to Overflowing and many
were glad TO even obtain standing
room. The total receipts were $2700.
The exercises were opened with q
song, "The High Road to Learning"
and the way the boys and girls sang
was enough to make even the Oldest
person present feel young. This was
followed by q chorus. "We'll Stand by
the Flag" rendered by the boys in Miss
Evans room. Next came q very pleas
ing "Dumb Bell Exercise" by the
grammar room pupils, which showed
great care in drill, and aptitude in the
performers. At this juncture the pro-
gram was varied and solo was render
ed by Miss Sarah Bettes. which was
followed with recitation by Carl
Brown. Then came the grammar
room in the song, "Merry Smiles" and
they sang it in their faces as we'll as by
voice. This was followed by a drill,
"Grandma's Time" by the girls of Miss
Evans room, and songs by the Male
Quartette.
A sweet and pleasing recitation was
next given by Ollie Ballentine, and the
grammar room followed with Gar
land Drill of rare arrangements and
execution. Then came the girls from
Miss Evans room with a chorus of
"Swing Babyl Swing" which carried
the audience back in memory to the
days of long clothes and soothing
syrup.
Clare .Jardine was next introduced
in a recitation which was followed by a
song, "Barcarolle," by May Hoskins
and Helen Hungerford Then came a
beautiful Flag Drill by boys from
Miss Evans room, followed by the
Male Quartette. The grammar room
closed the exercises by "Vestal Vir-
gin Drill" and the immense throng
wended their way home, feeling amply
repaid for their investment. and what
was vastly better, proud of Yale
schools and teachers and our bright
boys and girls.

of which 6l7 failed for S750e. 35S. There
were forty other commercial failures. with
liabilities Of s910, 795. Four banking and
financial companies defaulted for SS23 GOO.
AT first glance the November statement
appears very unsatisfactory but il viii be
remembered that few heavy failures in
wool and other textile industries account
for large share OF the reported liabilities
Aside from this one branch OF trade, which
las naturally suffered heavily from the

business to be on . good foundation. The
