end he rode away to join-but, must
be careful-to join the most valiant
army of the only true and puissant
monarch of these islands, then about
to retreat from Derby. Twas a pretty
plot, worthy of the sex to which / oh.

"A st. Louis preacher tells his flock
that the young peoples habit of hold
ing hands should be stopped. He ex
plains that there is nerve running
from the back Of the hand to the brain
and another from the palm to the
heart. when a man takes a girls
hand and presses those two nerves, she
comes under his control" Scientific
blunder. The youth of the congrega-

1t must be admitted that after a
period of prosperity which has been

an Industrial and financial depression
which comes near to being genuine

large numbers of men are unemployed.

Ear Protection for Gunners,

The British admiralty have given at
tention to the question of ear protec-
ton during heavy gun firing, and it
has been decided to use plasticine,
with the addition of cotton wool, but
the form of ear protection to be used
is to be left to the individual choice
of officers and men. Plasticine may
be supplied to ships and gunnery
schools if specially demanded. The
addition of so to so grains of cotton
wool has been recommended to insure
perfect safety. It is pointed out that
the cost of the material IS very small
and use is desirable in many cases.

Manners are not like clothes. It's
bad thing to have two suits of them
one for best and one for everyday.
Wear your best manners all the time.

best manners for company they will

At a recent banquet given at the
