Believing that a Superintendent
of Schools must be acquainted

ing with a number of my f~iends)

SELDOM MET.

"Last night at the theater there
was a young man sitting directly be-
hind me, who informed his feminine
companion that he had already seen
the play in New York"
Exactly. And he made you furi-
GUS by telling her all through the
performance what was going to hap
pen next"
"You are wrong. He did nothing
of the sort. You never would have
known, if he hadn't said so, that he
had seen the play before"
"Well! Well ! There may be young
men in the world like that, but they
are almost as scarce as hens teeth"

LACKING.

The mailman, having possessed
himself of an ak, approached the
grand piano. The master sat apart,
unheeding-it was the hour for a
pupil to enter, and he did not look
up. The mailman swung his ak
aloft, and with all the energy Of in
sanity brought it down upon the
keys.

GOING "A-GOODING."

Going "a-gooding" or "a-mump-
ing" on December RI (St. Thomas
day. is still practiced by women and
boys in many districts. The idea is
to collect money or eatables for
Christmas festivity, and sprigs of
evergreen are left at houses where a
gift is received. This last custom
is thought to be derived from pagan
times, having been the practice of
the Druids to send their young dis
ciples round from home to home
with sprigs of mistletoe or holly as
peace offering before the great winter
festival.

CHILD'S BEAUTIFUL IDEA.

Elsie, seeing a piece of velvet for
the first time, was struck by finding
that one side was smooth, soft and
glossy, while the other was soft and
cottony. Her mother explained to
her that there were generally two
sides to a thing. Shortly after this
Elsie, while out walking with her
mother one clear night, looked up
into the dusky sky and, seeing the
whole heavens thicF ly studded with
stars cried: 90, mother, if the
wrong side Of heaven is SO beautiful,
what must the other side be?"
