lt Was Rather unnleasant.

A constable in the municipal police had very unpleasant experience quite recently at the hands of a couple of Austrian sailors. He was called upon to settle dispute between the sailors and some ricksha coolies, and while executing his duty as a policeman he was stabbed in no less than ten differ ent parts of his body. Further police assistance was summoned. but before 1t arrived the injured constable dis. played considerable bravery and pluck fly held on to his assailants until the arrival of a foreign ponceman.- Shanghai National Review.

Gossip and Scandal.

Many people confuse gCssip with scandal, but the two things are quite different. The scandalmonser is usu- ally detested, while the gossip is often universally popular. In fact, the popu- larity which 1t brings in its train is one of the strongest incentives to gos- sip. A really accomplished gossip is a social acquisition. Thousands of peo- pie who do not gossip themselves like to listen to it. It saves them the trou- ble of talking. The gossip Is general ly good natured. The scandalmonger seldom is. After all, what is more in- teresting than human natureH That Is the stock in trade of the gossip, as 1t is of the novelist and dramatist-Lon- don GCntlewOman.

the Canaan Business Mems Association

the Canaan Business Mems Association was passed unanimously.
 On motion, Secretary Hardenbergh was instructed to draw up resolution protesting against the repor ed intention of the Southern New England Telephone Co. placing the Twin Lakes section in another district, as Twin Lakes trade practically all comes to Canaan, and the president was empowered to appoint n committee to wait upon the telephone company if deemed necessary.
 On motion of Mir. Fuller 1t Was voted to hold meetings of the Association on the first Monday of each month. in The Canfield.
 It was voted that the president appoint a committee of three, on membership, to circulate lists for members, and that the annual dues he fixed at S1.
 The matter of fre equipment again came up, and the point was made that there would be little use in procuring equipment until place was provided for keeping it. Dr. Damp said there was once hose company organized in town, and a building was provided for headquarters-the httle school building which he had secured from Miss Adam, and was located near the old Warner House. This building had suddenly been removed from it's foundations and had mysteriously disappeared.
 A motion was made that the president. appoint permanent committee of three, on fire protection, which should look after the rental of place for fire equip ment and have charge of the whole mat ter of fire protection. It was so voted, unanimously, and President Lyles will announce the appointment of members of such committee later.

When Water Mas Avoided.

Until comparatively recent times there was a medical prejudice against drinking water. Sir William Vaughan in his Natural and Artificial Direc tions For Health" declared that water fought seldom to be drunk" Another doctor admitted that 1t might be healthful for children. but not for men -''except some odd, abstemious one among a thousand perchance, degen. crate and of doggish nature, for dogs of nature do, abhor wine." Indeed, the recommendation of water as a bever age was supposed to be the sign of the quack. Even Wesley in his "PrimitivC Physic" wrote of it with caution "Drink only water if 1t agrees with your stomach: if not, good, clear small beer"

Ellen TerrY's Toe.

When Ellen Terry was a little girl about ten years old she played Puck in "A Midsummer Nights Dream" and had to make her appearance through the stage floor on a trapdoor. The trapdoor was shut too soon, and one of the child's feet was caught. She screamed with pain. and Mrs. Charles Kean whispered to her: Be brave girl. Nellie. Finish your part, and you shall play Arthur in King John.'' The trapdoor by this time was open, but the child's toe was broken. She, however. pluckily pulled herself to, gether and finished her speech.
