Little Grace was met by a strange lady on the street who endeavored to question the child as to her father’s first name. “What does your mother call your father?" was the question first put. “She calls him my daddy." “Yes, yes, I know; but when she wants to speak to him, what does she say?" "Oh, she says, ‘527, please,’ "' the child’s reply. “I don't mean when she calls him at the oflice. When she tells him to get up in the morning, what does she call him?” "0h, she says to be ready in about five minutes." -â€"â€".â€"â€"-¢-â€"â€"â€"-â€" A Circus Inside. A little fellow was sitting at the table one day with a plate of fancy biscuits resembling various animals before him. As he paused in the opera- _ -tion of lessen-ing the number, his mother asked him what he was think- 'ing about so earnestly. _ “Oh, mummie.

Schoolboys furnish several ex- amples of aproprinte hymns, but pos-‘ sibly they had a knowing finger in their selection. Never was a last line sung with more enthusiasm than at the service held after a certain clnsr-i, list had been read out, in which a boy named Jordan had, after many futile| attempts, managed to appear, Every eye was turned to that youth when the lines were reached: “Sorrow vanquished, labor ended, Jordan's passed!" Then there was the occasion when a touring team of cricketers played a certain famous English school. The tourists called themselves the Heath- ens, and they were tumbled out for an ignominious score by two schoolboy bowlers named \Vood and Stone. The captain of the school, at prayers that night, selected the hymn “From Green land‘s Icy Mountains,” and every boy put all he knew into the significant lines: V “The Heathens in their blindness, Bowed down to Wood and Stone!" _â€"â€"â€"â€"Qâ€"-râ€"â€"â€"â€" Disposition. A certain Irish railway company has a regular printed form on which to report any mishaps which occur to animals on the line. Recently a stray cow that had wandered on to the line was accidentally killed, and Tim O’Toole, who had lately been pro- moted to be trafllc inspector, was ask- ed to send in a report. In answer to the question, "Disposi- tion of carcass,” he wrote, “Kind and gentle." “__._..â€"â€" o A good conscience is a precious pos- session.

Miss Delima La- freniere, St. AmbrOse, Man, has proved this in her own case, and ad- vises others to use these pills. She says: “Before I began the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I felt like a com- plete wreck of my former self. My blood was poor and thin. I suffered from faint and dizzy spells, and had backaches and headaches almost every day. I decided to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial, and by the time I had used three boxes I felt much bet- ter and I continued taking the pills until I felt as well as I ever did.

The dear old Scotswoman tramped miles over the hills to get a bottle of medicine for a small boy who was ill in her remote village. When she had described the symp- toms, the doctor set about preparing the mixture, one ingredient of which was apoison which could be adminis- tered only in the smallest quantities. She watched him pouring it out Words That Miss Their Way. Words have a fatal habit of taking the wrong turning. In certain old versions of the Bible Christ is called ‘the ringleader of our salvation," a word changed later to "captain," whilst Paul called himself the “knave’ or “lad” of Christ. Simi- larly, in old church books, the Virgin is described as "ch’s wenchr" The words “crafty” and “artful,” which invariably carry an unpleasant meaning, used to mean skilful and ar- tistic, while the word "blackguar " was formerly quite an honorable term.
