fun galore from the beginning to the
ending. The young men who repre-
sented old maids, played the role per-

SACRED HEART MUSICAL.

The music room of the Sacred Heart
Academy was an unusually bright spot
in the dreary December weather last
Thursday, for the bright faces of the
pupils and the beautiful growing ferns,
used to decorate, made it so. The &C.
casion was the regular oral examina-
ton of the middle grades in history
and geography, these alone showed
the rapid progress the school is ma
king, for the pupils answered cor
rectly and brightly. A few friends
had been invited Rev. P. OReilly
presided, showing by presence the
keen interest in the progress of the
children. The prizes drawn for were
beautiful hand-painted cards, the
work of the artist hand of one Of the
sisters. Father O'Reilly presented the
prizes to the winners, Miss NJ. Mono
han, history; Master c. Heidelberg,
history; Miss Maude Armstrong. geo.
graphy; Misses A. NJ. Pickett and
Helen Utter, music.
The expression class did artistic
work, and the boys especially reflected
great credit on the teacher in that
department.
The music department showed
thorough training from the tiniest lit
tie to the large girls. The violin
pupils deserve special mention.
Nearer My God to Thee" panto-
mine, by the expression class, ac-
companied by students on the pianos
and violin classes, was we'll trained.
This group of young people bid fair
to be quite popular if they keep up
their work.

SCARCITY OF PAPER.

The newspapers Of the country have
been face TO face with the worst paper
famine 10 their history. The Interna'
tional Paper Company, which supplies
most of the product to the leading dailie',
has been through q drastic experience Of
labor troubles. There we're several
strikes, aud many Of their largest mills
we're closed down.
1t has required the utmost care AID
economy 10 supply the newspapers under
these conditions. One Of the large New
York papers almost missed one of its edi-
tons because it could not secure the
paper. At the last moment, however,
by the utmost endeavor it got enough
for the run, and within the next "a
hours 1t secured a still larger supply,
and this tlded over its emergency.
Another New York paper was not
able to get paper of its usual size, and
so 1t APPEARED for number of issues
with practically no margins, like a
grown-up man in short sleeves and
trousers, presenting somewhat ludi.
crous contrast to lis usual staid and we'll
Measured proportions. A third news
paper was obliged to shift Its orders in
open market, and it is probably still IN.
certain ss to the source OF its future
supply.
