\ Sunday school for their delectation and edifloation by our oo.worker with the pen and fin the Sunday school, Mrs. Annie A. Preston. By no means feeling that we are in the same high claN in either vocation, so we have not that reputation to live up to. Second hand evidence being usually barred, we refrain from responding in kind. Sufficient, perhaps. to say that the thoroughly competent succeed in whatever they undertake. Person. ally, we have not had the pleasure of visiting the Sunday school on the Hill, but perhaps the union service idea may be reversed and some day we shall all happen up there. Mean while it is ''up to us'' to endeavor to merit the praise bestowed.

 Mhsn Boys Were Taught te Smoke.
 The habit of juvenile smoking iin England in the seventeenth century was practically universal. Joreyin de Kochefort, ! French trayeler of that period, in an account published in 1871 gives description of an evening he spent at Worcester. He was cate chized by one of the townsmen as to the habits of the French people. "rWhile we were walking about the town,'' he writes, "he asked me if it vas the custom fn France, as in Eng land, that when the children went to school they carried in their satchel with their books a pipe of tobacco which their mother took care to fill early in the morning, 1t serving them instead of breakfast, and that at the accustomed hour every one laid aside bis book to light his pipe, the master smoking with them and teaching them how to hold their pipes and draw in their tobacco, thus accustoming them to 1t from their youth, believing it ab- solute1y necessary for a mans health " St. James, Gazette.

t .-'i' -ss'.' -s'---sr '-A-<~ssA- An Eccentric Genius.

Among the geniuses none perhaps was stranger than the poet Baudelaire. who dyed his hair green, tried to stran- gle his father-in-law, used opium. to- bacco and wine to excess and enjoyed perverted olfactory sensations. My soul scars upon perfumes as the souls of other men soar upon music" he wrote. But what pleased him, strange ly, were edors of putrefaction. vile smells which other men abhorred and the stenches of disease which made others sick. And yet his poetry is among the most passionately musical of the literature of France. He was exceedingly superstitious. believing he would not succeed in an undertaking unless he left a house first with the left foot. and would count the number of gas jets along the streets, the num- bers of cabs and numbers of doors Adding these figures in his mind. he would consider the result an omen multiples of three good, multiples of seven reassuring, while his bad mum. Der was seventeen. Curiously, once he was thrown out of a cab, the figures of which he added and found amounted to seventeen.

BATTERYaA'TEAM NOT HEAVY ENOUGH
BLUE RIBBONS WIN LAST NIGHTS GAME BY LARGE
 SCORE

At the Park City Rink, last night the Blue Ribbons of this city defeat ed the Battery A, team of Branford by the score of 18-4 The game, though one sided, was enteresting to the small crowd present. The first half ending with the score of 6-3. Err nie Lush took Burdick's place at guard and furnished the star playing of the evening. The old white head was all over the floor passing to his men, which he was content to do rather than take a shot at the basket. Fan Two fouls were called during the game both on the locals. Fisher, of the vis- itors, shot each basket. But for one of these fouls they would have been shut out in the second half The wis itors had considerable hard luck in shooting baskets as most of their shots would hit the basket, take roll around the iron rod and then fall into a Ribbons hand.

Ancient Fashion Jarqon.

The Language of the fashion plate and the Woman's paper is sufficiently appalling to the mere man even in these days of emancipated and. we may presume, more grammatical wom- anhood; but. according to an extract from fashion journal of 17S7, the jar gon of those days was even more as- founding. This is how the paper de scribed the dress of certain Nile. p. at the opera:
 "She appeared in dress of 'stifed sighs.' otnamented with 'superhuous regrets, the bodice cut in perfect candor' point and trimmed with :in- discreet complaints Her hair was dressed in sustained sentiments..' with a headdress of sustained conquest ornamented with several 'fiyaways' and :downcast eye ribbons. and her collar was 'beggar on horseback color
 No doubt all these marvellous terms conveyed some meaning to the fash ionable woman of the days when French society danced on the edge of the volcano of 17s9. but to their de scendants of today they have abso- lutely no mea hing.
