What It Proved
m an Exchange.

From an Exchange.
 A visitor to a Sunday school was asked to address few remarks to the children. He took the familiar theme of the chil- dren who mocked Elisha on his journey to Bethel-how the young ones taunted the prophet, and how they were punished when two she-bears came out of the wood and ate forty-and-two of them.
 And now, children said he. what does this story show?'
 Please. sir,' came from a little girl in the front row, 'it shows haw many children two she-bears can hold.'

The Busiest Corner


 Will you kindly inform me what is
 considered the busiest corner in the world? B. B. There is no buster place in the world than New York. Says one who ought to
 know whereof he speaks: 'The busiest corner in that great city is supposed to be the junction of Frankfort street and
 Park row." Careful computation, based upon continued observation, gives 740,000 as the average number of human beings who pass that corner daily Of course, some go back and forth and are counted more than once, but the number of pas- sengers is rated as above. The next through Picadilly, London, according to heaviest stream of humanity flows | through Picadilly, London, according to recent computation. If these calculations are erroneous, we look to the constitu- | ency for correction.

even the terrific German artillery fire during the famous Teuton drive, once stood.
 This statement probably explains the reason why the earlier reports said that the French had not taken possession of the fort after the Ger man evacuation. The withdrawal of the Teutons from this position places the German lines back in the same position they were last February when the Germans commenced the great at tack on Vaux and Douamont, losing twenty five thousand men in two days and one night of fighting.
