you weigh $50 if you appear to weigh
200? Or what's the use of being only

A thin veneer of learning or cul-

Courier. but nobody is ever duped by
the deception but the fellow inside
the veneer.
One of the most surprising things
about coming unexpectedly into an
inheritance by young man, says the
Toronto Republican, is the number
of unexpected warm friends that pop
out of the brush.
According to the Lebo Star, the free
moving picture show which the town

to bring the farmers and their wives

Are people living in town more
quarrelsome than country people?
asks the Beanville correspondent of

suit of experiments it has been found
that it was commercially practicable
to press the cheese in hoops of small
diameter, cut it into pieces of desired
weight, and seal in alright tin cans
This provides a sanitary package, at
cost of about only cents per can,
which keeps the cheese from exposure
to air and contamination, and prevents
loss of weight by evaporation In ad-
dition to these advantages, there is no
rind, which, of course, is always a
loss. And what an ideal method this
