canals effective centuries ago, and is
still Just as effective as ever.

A Collectors Bargain.


Lord Spencer Of Althorp, one Of the
greatest Of book collectors. was at
home only in his own field. One day
IN browsing about Bond street, Lon
don, he went into the shop Of a dealer
In bric-a-brac. The dealer, who knew
him by sight. said persuasiyely:
Here is a fine bit Of pottery which
your lordship really ought to have,
and you shall have it very cheap-only
2 %guineas."
So Lord Spencer bought it and took
It home and set 1t in 4 high place.
One day a connoisseur Of china paid
him a visit, and Lord Spencer showed
his bargain.
what did you give for itr' asked
the connoisseur.
1.-TWO g%uineas," answered Spencer
rather proudly.
"H'mr' said the connoisseur. AT
that price the marmalade should have
been included"
"What do you meanT
''Vhy, that precious piece OF yours
Is nothing more or less than a shii'
ling marmalade pot with a green this
tie painted or it."

The Word "Canvassinq."

How "%canvassing" got its election
significance is one Of the unsolved
puzzles of etymology. The word APP
pears originally to have meant tossing
In a canvas or blanket and thence gen-
orally ~mishandling or assaulting. iii
canvass thee in thy broad cardinals
hat" is the Duke Of Gloucester s
threat to the bishop Of Winchester IN
"King Henry VI" The next stage Of
meaning was that Of destructive criti-
cism, from which to thorough discus
sion-"canvassing" n subject-was sim
pie enough. But how exactly did 1t
arrive at the election sense? DR.. John
son explained that the term meant
trying votes previously to the deci-
SION and derived it from canvas, as
1t signifies Il sieve" The Oxford Die
tionary, however, is unable to find this
use Of the word.

A French gentleman who had been
with Nj. de "Tnlleyrand for twenty
years accompanied him to the congress
at Vienna after Napoleon's exile to
Eliza. People naturally concluded that
this long Intimacy had made him IA
miIIar with Il number Of particulars OF
the minister's life and bearing also
upon the events with which he had
been mixed up. Worried with CUES
lions, the friend invariably replied that
he knew nothing, but the questioners
would not be satisfied and returned to
the charge.

confdant; "Tl tell you a peculiar and

The Stina Of Inaratitude.

A young physician in the east side'

charitable practice, says the Newark
Star. In fact, he sometimes gives to
a poor patient enough money to pay
for prescriptions. pm not getting
rich" he explains, but simply can't
see them suffer for medicines that
may put them on their feet again"
Not many days ago the doctor had
occasion to visit q woman who occu-
pied one small tenement room with
her three children. After making out
a prescription he gave her -, telling
her to buy the medicine and to use
the change for needed food. On the
following day as he was about to en-
ter the tenement for a second call he
met the ~ten-year-old daughter of the
patient.
"How is your motherT' he inquired
Of the child.

When the population ceases to multi

on after you and never heard Of you
stops coming on.
When you have convinced every
body whose life will touch yours that
you have better goods and lower prices
than they can get anywhere else.

Farmers Getting Wise

The farmers around Surrey are
asking the Great Northern fancy pri.
ces for the right Of way which that
company Is buying through their
farms. One man is said to have re-
ceived $4,000 for the right of way thru
two quarters Of land. One farmer
from that vicinity visited the office of
the Register of Deeds one day tits
week, to learn the price neighbor
received for his land. After getting
the desired information he left as
sorting that he would raise the price
OF his land, all right, all right. The
farmers in close proximity to Surrey,
did not feel the need Of the G.. N. cut
off and look upon the building Of the
line thru their property as doing great
damage. One farmer who received q
fancy price for the land sold to the
company, said he would not only be
glad to sell the land back to the
company tor the price he received,
but give them thousand dollars be-
sides, to steer clear of his farm. Quar-
tiers of land in that vicinity are held
at from seven to eight Thousand dol
lars.
