A billion.


Great Britain clings to its own nu.
mcrloal system and regards a billion
as million times n million. But
America differs. n billion i'm the United
States being only Il thousand millions
THIS is perhaps the only instance in
which a thing is bigger In the old
country than in the new. one has to
90 only n little way from England
to Calais-to find the billion lcssened,
for France digni'cs a thousand mil
liors with the name Of billion. They
are wasting a word In France in this
connection however, inasmuch rs
there is already a word, milliard to
dcs onatc this number-Chicago Rec

pastor of the Florence NJ E church
stated ut Union revival meeting
held in the Presbyterian church of
this city; that baby but five days

claimed that tho child had died in
tho saloon while the father aud the
mother were drinking at the bar Of
said saloon,
This statement is absolutely false

we herewith append the solemn osi h
of each and every saloon keeper in

such did not occur,
