Complain of Rock Crushcr.

Residents on College street are
complaining of the noise made by a
rock crusher that has just been in

Mrs. John Vert is particularly in
censed over the operation of the
crusher and says that the noise when
the machine is running is almost
enough to drive one distracted Mrs.
Vert says that others living in the vi
cinity and occupying houses owned by
herself have complained to her of the
noise and that she may lose tenants
if the abuse is not stopped She
holds that since the council
has ordered the paving of

Unlimited ABSORPTION.

The capacity Of the United statss

Tie Of American imports Of this char
acter increases yearly BY leaps and
bounds. The latest figures for 1912
show an increase Of 60 per cent. upon
those for 1911. In 1910 objects Of art
Of the value of $22,0oo.00o were i'm.
ported. The figures for 1911 arc $780,
100000. The distribution Of the
amount among the various European
countries is instructive. First comes
France. from which America takes

t15,000.000. There is q drop Of over
$13,000,000 to the $1,254,oss Of Ger
many. The efficacy Of the stringent
Italian regulations is shown by the
fact that only $740,592 worth comes
from Italy-or not quite 30 much as
comes from Canada. The imports Of

Lucy Bentwich took her husbands
hands in hers and stared at him, while
the breath came hard between her
lips. She read his message In HE

longer, JIM" she said. "ls that it?"
Jim nodded miserably. and they sal

and looked at each other mutely. Fol-
months they had felt the blow com.

In home. Happily they had paid fol-
their furniture and had about three
hundred dollars remaining. But there
was baby coming, and the catas
trophe seemed stunning. There would
be no chance of further employment
during the summer months-and this
was May.
Presently Lucy rose and began to
prepare the evening meal. They ate
silently, and afterward Jim helped he,
with the dishes, as was his custom.
Then Lucy came and sat down beside
him and put her arms round him.
Let's be farmers, JIM" she said.
She knew that her husband, like all
city men. looked forward longingly to
the day when he could retire to q
country property. And she shuddered
at her own memories of farming life.
But for Jim's sake she would tread
that road again.
Lets get an abandoned farm in
New England, DEAR" she said. "You
know one can pick them up for very
small first payment. You can write

foot and a little cottage, falling into
decay, but still weather-proof, with
old.fashioned fireplaces and dormel
windows-just the place for them.
I'VE must have it, Lucy" said Jim
Lucy's own spirits rose. Perhaps
farming was different nowadays from
what 1t had been. She pictured her
self with her flock Of chickens, and
Jim writing and digging in the potato
patch. Yes, this place seemed to have
been made for them.
But was it for rent or sale? 1t had
lain vacant for more than 20 years,
the neighbors said. Nobody remem'

by another little maiden. who asked:
What do angels do with their wing,
when they lie down and go to bed?"

girl who was once visiting house
where small child had died recently
She was asked to draw something. 81
she >drew grave with some fowers

thoughtless Of me; but I can easily

with all the bees coming out.
Amusing. too, are these two pet
stories. once asked little girl
where her pet dog was. She turned
and said to me: Why, he's gone to
heaven. He's there now, with wings
and crown on his head"
A little boy was once drawing ships,
and I noticed that all his flags on the
boats were at half-mast. said:
"Why have you got all your flags al
half-mast on your drawing. Bobbie?"
