such remarks as. Il wonder how many

Price Never Changed.

The Rev. Simon Turpie was an elO-
duent speaker, but he seemed to have
a list of sermons which, when he once
began, he went right through to the
end and then started at the first ser
mon again, and so on.
A young man in the congregation
was about to leave for South Africa,
but the Sunday before he departed he
attended the church service.
In the course of his lecture the min
lister used an illustration in which were
the words, ~ man can easily purchase
two sparrows for threepence,"
The young man, after being absent
for about three years, returned and
again on the first opportunity attended
divine service. Strange to say, he
heard the same narrative by the same
minister. the phrase striking him most
being about the two sparrows for
threepence."
At the close Of the service the min
ister in his courtesy, came and shook
hands with the youth and, welcoming
him back to his home, asked him if
he noticed any changes about the
place.
The young man, evidently quite un-
concerned, replied, Aye, man, there's
two or three changes, but there's yin

New us. For Whselbarrows.

Mrs. Zella Nuttall, the archaeologist,
was making some excavations in Mex
leo The Indians were removing the
earth some distance from the point of
excavation in the customary manner
that is, on a piece Of coarse cloth tied
between two poles, stretcher fashion,
carried by two Indians. This method
seemed rather laborious to Mrs. Nut
tall, so she ordered several iron wheel
barrows from the city. When they
arrived she turned them over to the
foreman after explaining to him what
they were for and how to use them.
Next day when she visited the work
the Indians had discarded their primi-
tive parihuelas and were using the
bright new wheelbarrows As each
barrow was filled with earth 1t was
picked up by two Indians, one using
the handles and the other the wheel,
and carried to the place where the
earth was to be deposited. All efforts
to get the Indians to use the wheel
barrows properly failed, and they kept
on carrying them until the work was
finished

rhe surnrisn Of sliunitsa

II have never quite made out" says
a writer in Near East" why the

garded as the scene of one of the great
decisive battles of the worlds his
tory. 1t did not even decide the Servo
Bulgarian war in 1885. That was de-
cided by Austria Intervention. The
battle of Slivnitsa is really only re-
markable for the comical fact that
both sides thought they were defeated,
and while Milan of Servla was hurry

tide had turned. Nowadays the vii
