Knowing the Channel

From the National Monthly.
 It is well known that in the bed of the St. Lawrence river. the outlet of the great lakes, there are in many places masses of rocks that make navigation dangerous except to reliable men whose knowledge of the safe channels is unquestioned A passenger on one of it's steamers was ply ing the captain with questions as to the safety of the journey. and at length asked: Captain, do you know where all the rocks are in this river?"
 In his patient, deliberate manner, he replied, No ma am, I don't know where all the rocks are, but I know where the channel is."

ONE PHASE OF MARRIED LIFE
Seeming Unhappiress Most Probably Due to Lack of Something to
 Talk About.

It Is the eternal tete-a-tete of mar ried lie that most critics of that bli7s S. ful condition find fault with. From it spring boredom and dull, sodden si- lence, assert these cynics Therefore, hint for escaping this enc depress- ing quality of merrlaae should have our best attention.
 To Illustrate, you will see it ire queuLy On t,2 trolley when a man ard his wife ere sitting side by side it Is almost perpetual silence. They have noching tc say to one another Perl $ the wife will emit a cheerful peep but the husband will respond with a nod of the head or a hesitating yes or no. It is most always that way. NJ common interest observed. In fact, it looks as if they are mad at one an other; as if they were bored. A young man or woman looking on the couple would be apt to say: 70, you married life"
 But they are not mad Let some charming lady acquaintance come in and sit down by the husband-and he is all smiles and has plenty to say Then he Is a cordial companion. He is a changed man. And the same it would be with the woman. Now, don't misin- terpret the scene. When that man and wife get back home they drop their trolley manners and act sensibly and lovingly again. Mad-he would just as likely be mad at the evening star or a bush full of roses But you wouldn't think it on the trolley.-New York Tribune

w. C. T. U.

The patriotic program as carried out in the meeting yesterday with Mrs. H. B. Mckenzie, proved that women love the flag as her brothers ever dared to, and mourn the fact even more, we believe, that it is al- lowed to float over the destroyer of all she holds dear. Her edict has gone forth, and reverberates around the world: "A flag for every school house, but no flag for the saloon"
 It is not for fame or honor that they go forth to plead; it is not for publicity that they toll on, but it is because of message God laid upon their hearts to people debauching its youth by strong drink.
 We were glad to welcome Mrs. Will Mitchell as a member.
