Dop Ordinance.

One year, in a certain town II
Maine. tax was levied on dogs for
the first time. 1t caused quite an ex-
element among the dog owners. ~
many of them had dogs good for moth
ing except for pets.
So the next year an article was In
serted in the town warrant to repeal
the dog law. All interested attended
the meeting.
When Mr.. w. came home his chill
dren, who had pet dog, met him,
eager to hear the result. Mr.. w.
said:
We'll, boys! they have repealed
the dog law"
Little Tommie, four years cd.

and entering into the spirit of the
occasion, rushed in to where lis
grandpa sat reading, and shoutcd:
Grandpa, they have peeled the law

What did they do with the peel

1t has been brought out by the Ger

nine each in iron and steel trades and
In building operations, and 8l2 per cent
In mining. 1t is explained that 1t Is
natural that the agricultural laborer
should be especially subject to acct
dent, for he has to handle teams, ma
chinery and explosives, and is too much
jack of all trades to be skilled in any
one Modern methods also increase tho
risk of the occupation. for Canadian
records show that the percentage of
deaths increased steadily from l. per
cent in 1904 to 20 per cent in 1909,
while in mining there had been much
fluctuation, but apparently no per-
manent increase.
The large number of accidents on
Saturdays is generally explained by the
fatigue of the week telling on the men,
but 1t is noted also that on Monday
accidents are about as numerous. This
gives rise to the suggestion that tho
day OF rest sometimes is not too wisely
spent. Other charts show how the per-

Church and State.

"If our government is to be endur-
ing it must rest on principles of JUS
tice, truth and righteousness, sane
toned by recognition of supreme
being whose experimenting provi-
dence watches over the affairs of ma
tions and of men. There is no Off
cial union of church and state in that
country, but there is no antagonism
between the civil and religious au-
thorities. Church and state move on
parallel lines. The state holds over
the spiritual rulers the aegis of its
protection without interfering with
rights OF conscience. The church helps
enforce civil laws by moral and re-
ligious sanctions. 1t is the duty of
us all, churchmen and laymen, to
hold up the hands OF our president,
as Aaron and Hur stayed UP the
hands of Moses. Cardinal Gibbons.

WHO THE "BLuENosEsr ARE.

Widespread.

Lots Of you folks in the states"
said Thomas F. Mccartney Of St.
John. N. b.. the other day, call every
body from the maritime provinces
'blueneses.' That's not it at all. It's
only the Nova Scotians that we call

there have blue noses. either.
Il have met people here who really
thought that folks down east were so
called because their noses were al
ways blue on account Of the cold, raw
climate they suppose prevails there.
The fact is, the term 'bluenoses'
was first given to the inhabitants of
the CORVALLIS valley. who were the
original raisers of a potato called the
'bluenose,' from its blush skin. This
potato was shipped to the states in
large quantities, and the name of the
potato became the name of the peo-
pie who raised it,
