n
Perhaps the most striking instance
of what unnecessary ringing at the
doorbell can produce in the way Of
evaporation Is to be seen in the word
ing Of a notice on a brass plate in a
street leading out of a well known
west end square. 1t is on the door Of
the corner house, and this is how it
runs: This house is No. 64A -
street, and not No. 10 - square. That
house is round the corner. Do not ring
here" One can dimly imagine the
state of nervous madness to which that
householder was reduced before he sat
down to compose that notice.-London
Chronicle.

The oldest licensed village ale house
In England is claimed to be the George
Inn, in North st. Philip. The license
dates from 1907. Each story of the
picturesque old structure overhangs
that beneath. The front is broken by
bay windows, porch and a flight OF
stone steps leading to a doorway N
the wall. At the back are more quaint
doors and windows, and turret built
against the wall incloses an outside
stair, while in the yard still remains
