A school Entertainment and basket
social was given 10 the Stuart island
school house .ast Saturday night, the
proceeds, which amounted to $73.25,
to be used to purchase new desks and
seats for the school. The patrons of
the school and especially the teacher
and pupils desire to thank the people
for their generous and cordial assist
ance which made it possible for this
amount to be realized. This was the
first entertainment of any kind ever
given on Stuart island.
The program given by the pupils
was excellent in every respect and
showed patient and careful training
by the teacher, Miss Philip, and
earnest work by the pupils. The flag
drill by four boys and four girls is es
pecially worthy of mention. Miss
Olga Cook, while not member of the
school, gave two excellent recita-
tions. A large number of people were
present from Waldron, San Juan and
Speiden islands. Among the number
were Mr.. and Mrs. Ed. Chevalier,
Mrs. Smith and children, Mrs. Craig
mic, Messrs. Lord, Stove, Butcher,

MacauIay'S Wit.

Macaulay, who was in the habit
of shaving himself, and badly, too,
it would seem, once patronized a
first class barber. After obtaining
an easy shave he turned to the ton
serial artist and inquired:
GLOW much do I owe you?"
"What ever you have been in the
habit of giving the man who shaves
you, sir" replied the barber.
81 generally give him two cuts on
each cheek" replied the celebrated
English historian, 'sbut you, sir, be-
ing superior workman, deserve to
fare better"

The sirloin.

The term "sirloin" of beef is a
corruption of "surloin," from the
French word "surlonge," meaning
over or upper portion of the loin ;
also because King James l., when
dining at Hoghton hall, in Lam
cashire, in one of his fits of humor
said to an attendant, Bring hither
that surloin, sirrah, for tits worthy
Of a more honorable post, being, as
/ may say, not surloin, but Sir Loin,
