RIPPING RHYMES
By Walt Mason.
OR JUST

My neighbor, Biffkin, takes de-
light, in helping things along: if
there's a charity in sight, he's
whooping for it strong. His name
is seen on every list of givers to
The Cause; and people often wot
and wist that he is Santa Claus.
To brighten up the world he strives.
he'll brighten 1t or bust: he's prom
inent in all the drives" that call
for peoples dust. But il he owes
you iron men he seems to hate to
pay; you'll have to call, again,
again and chase him day by day.
1 don't indorse the frequent drives"
that bore us everywhere, that pes
ter voters and their wives for coin
they cannot spare. I do not give to
every jay who tags me in the mart,
and Biffkin has been heard to say
that I've q calloused heart. But
when a man presents his bill for
any thing I've bought, 1 take the
roubles from the till, and pay him
on the spot. No merchant bones
me for the kale upon the public
street, and no collectors on my trail
wea out their useful feet. I pay
up every cent 1 owe, that cred
itors may thrive, before / dig any
dough to help along a drive. 1t
may be Biffkin's credit is a sight,
and mine is good and strong.

@. What proportion of the men
employed by mines actually work
underground?-Q. E. D.
A. In bituminous mines four
ffths of the employees are under
ground, directly engaged in getting
out coal. In anthracite mines, about
one-third of the men are actually
mining coal, the rest being occupied
preparing and moving it.
@. Can a branch of an apple tree
be grated on a pear tree and the
branch bear apples and the pear tree
bear pears?-M. B.
A. The Department of Agricul-
ture says that although it is true
that a branch of the apple tree can
be grated to a pear tree and the
branch have apples and the pear
tree have pears, this is not common
and is simply regarded as a curios-
ity. Such a method Of propagation
has nc practical possibilities.

The Province of Ontario voted dry last week:
LIQUOR for beverage purposes. The vets see a
lot Of gloom in this, while the drys obtain a
lot of comfort. But it means nothing but local
option. Ontario had provincial prohibition in ell
feet before last weeks election. Manufacture Is
not stopped. A few months ago dry British
Columbia voted wet. This. leaves ontario ths
only dry province in Canada. Prince EDWARD
Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Manitoba
Alberta and Saskatchewan are wet with pro-
vincial local option. Quebec is as wet as the
ocean. And those who fear that Canada
can go dry should remember that Canada can
go dry only when the British Parliament IN
London passes an amendment to the British
North America act. This can be done only
when every Canadian province agrees TO the
amendment, and when enough dry Englishmen
get into Parliament. SO it looks like Canada
will be wet for a few centuries.
