can give nu particelar rraw.0 1 How is it
that we de trot give bars cheers, fuer

we give three cheers and no more?
Why Is it that • man cannot see a
bindle of tooth -picks without helping
himself to one when he does not need it?
Why is it that the majority of people
use the right hand instead of the left,
sad caunot b 1p .wiling at those who
use the latter
Wby is it that wbeu one asks us the
number of days there are iu • certain
month, we always soy to ourselves,
"thirty days kis September, April, June
and November?"
Why is it that we turn to the right
instead of to the lett, when the heft is far
preferable, and if adopted would save
many a .a i.leut un radioed* and
highways? The driver always sits upon
the right of the vehicle; in turning to the
right he is furthest away froom the wagon

cannot tell how close he conies to the
wheels of the own who passes by him;
whereas, if he turned W the lith side,
be could look straight down, see to a
fraction how close be was approaching an
obstacle and thus avoid it. The engineer
runs upon the right hand track, and sits
upon the right hand side of his cab. The
long, narrow locomotive, with its nand
tower, belfry and smoke -stack is in front
ut him, cutting off his observ.tiooa. He
can see only his own track. while the
opposite, save at the distance, is almost
entirely unseen by him.
Custom, owing to causes we know not
of has established these curious prece-
dents' and hem ,.b.ervati,.n and educa-
tion we utawittiugly do thunsanda of
things that are, to say the least, funny,
and that we onnot explain_

Capt. Harry Piper, Alderman and
Superintendent of the Z.a,lk gical Garden
lately communicated the following facts
to a reporter of one of Toronto's most
iiaausotW "Some time ago we
purchased from the collection of animals
at Central Park, New York. a monstrous
Russian bear, which we have named
'Peter the Great,' on account of his tre-
mendous size. ,. Not long after 'Peter'
arrived we found that be was suffering
from the rheumatism, and in • pretty
bad state. Pete wee not the only one in
the 'Zoo, which had a touch of that de-
licious torture; the lion likewise had it
and is fad 1 was just being cured of a
bad case oftherheumitiam,myself,bythe
use of St. Jacob. Oil. the Great German
Remedy. I found St. Jambs Oil an ex-
cellent remedy, for it cured me in a short
while, and my ase was a veryaggravated
one. I argued that if it oured men it
must be good for animists as well;

A correspondent wntes as follows to
the Albany Tiwtu: "I have noticed that
several of your readers are in perplexity
as to the meaning of the word 'com-
mencement; as applied to oollegiete
exercises. I had occasion some years ago
to study up the origin of this and other
words of like character. in the sense used
The tens is an Americanism, or, more
properly, • New Englandism, originating
many years ago among the Yankees in
Connecticut, whose vocation it was to
direct the education of the young. With
a shrewd business sense they determined
that the then growing practice of distri-
buting premiums might with advantage
be adopted at the beginning instead of
et the close of the term. All who expected
prizes of distinction were thus tempted to
continue at school after the close of the
summer vacation, the prizes being award-
ed and bestowed at the commencement
of the term following that in which they
had been merited, and only given to
those who had renewed theirscholanhip.
The scheme became generally adopted,
and was in vogue only a few years, when
the former custom was renewed, but the
exercises retained the name, and this
piece of Yankee ingenuity is the real
reason for the peculiar teen in questions.

A Diane Baer.— A few days since a
man who gave has nate as McPherson,
came to town, and called upon one ut
our medical men, iud informed him that
he had purchased • farm in the township
of Usburne, near Farquhar, and wished
to engage hint as the family doctor. A
few days Devine slammed, McPherson
came to ttpwn on Tuesday last, and in-
formed the doctor that hie preseuoe was
requited, as Mrs. McPherson had taken
sick. After having made the necessary
arrangements with the doctor, McPhee -
sou started for a liquor store to purchase
some brandy, and • quantity of tea.
Having made the purchase he again re-
turned to the doctor and inquired if be
thought bandy would do fur medical
purposes. He was answered in the neoe-
tive. McPherson was then supplied
with aoxe brandy which the doctor had
iu ptresaion. Shortly after the doctor
had left to visit the sick woman, the
ggnnww�err s suspicions were aroused that
MCPherx+o was not to be tidied on and
started out in esareh of the rascal. He
overtook him at the Seeable bridge bet
se he was going in the direction of Far-
quhar the grocer concluded t., wait until
the doctor returned. It was not lung
before the doctor arrived home again,
when the grocer was informed that no
such a person has lived at Farquhar.
The grocer again started in pursuit .of
McPherson, whom he caught in the vi-
cinity of the station, but he had disposed
of his tea to Mr. Reynolds in payment
of a little account he was owing their.

faction uut of hie victimizer cut a small

A queer muddle Mr. Meredith makes
of the liquor license question. He says
the Crooks Act has good features, but
he believes "the improvement in the
liquor traffic is due t) the increasing
temperance sentiment of the country."
Here is an admission that the country is
growing more temperate, in the face of
the allegations of the Mail that more li-
quor is consumed than formerly. Mr.
Meredith also says that • greater pre -
portion of licenses are granted to Con-
servatives than Reformers, while the
Mail is choking itself in the endeavor to
yell out that Conservatives are refused
licenses and Reformers favored. But
Mr. Meredith says the Conservatives re-
ceive the licenses in order that their
mouths may be muzzled during election
times. This may be very good Gaelic in
distant parts, but Mr. Meredith will
sarcely repeat it in London, where some
of his most active supporters are hotel -
keepers. -[Advertiser.
