McRea, the well-known o and highly esteemed pastor of Knox .S Church here for the past 36 years, has 4 received a unanimous call from Chaim- * ers' Church, Armow congregation, 4. Bruce Presbytery. There is just one congregation and they offer $900 4 salary and a glebe of 6 acres. `e Rev. Mr. McRae has had Ethel as well as Cranbrook on his charge here and s has served faithfully and well as the a years have gone by, His work and that of Mrs. McRae and family will a live long in the memory of those who have been associated with the respect- ive congregations. If the reverend gentleman accepts the call to Armow a it will be with the thought of having ''` less driving and ministering to one con- gregation instead of two. Armow is located 5 or 6 miles from Kincardine. Few men can spend over 36 years on one charge and wear as well as Rev. D. B. McRae. His friends are legion and not by any means confined to his own charge. Many would regret his removal. HOUSE c OF H OBBERLIN LIMITEP , JFALL WINTER1 6 •4 4 4. .,'44 fi ..

He was 22 years of age, and a printer by trade. His parents also lived in Moose Jaw. Upwards of $100 worth of new books will be placed on the shelves of the public library before the close of the year. Brussels has a fine library and a dandy Carnegie building.

Tongue, who departed this life on Satur- day evening, Nov. 9th, at the age of 75 years, 9 months, 4 days. About two weeks ago the deceased was stricken with a paralytic stroke from which she never regained consciousness. She is survived by three sons and one daugh- ter, viz: -Harry, Frank and Herb., of Rochester, N. Y., and Mrs. Wm Willi- ams, of i rorrie; all being present at the funeral, with the exception of Harry, who had only left for his home a few days before, after being with his moth- er during part of her illneas. moERla.

The Hill Bridge Co.'s gang fro -n Mitchell is here this week putting up the steel superstructure of the Clark bridge, on the sideroad near Township hall. Wet weather delayed the building of the cemet abutments. People will not be sorry to have the regular avenue open once more. It is expected that J. S. Blake, who has been engaged in Egypt for some time as an expert oil driller, will spend the winter in this locality. Mrs.Blake is a daughter of W. H. Watson, 5th line. She and Miss Borneo Blake were getting ready to go to England to meat Mr. Blake when the word of his intended visit arrived. EAST WA WANOSH. Another of the pioneers was called on Sunday, November 10th, to cross the Great Divide in the person of James Potter, one of the oldest residents of East Wawanosh.

How AApllcatione Aro Mad, and Via Examinations That Follow. Consuls are appointed by the presi- dent, with the advice and consent of the senate. A candidate desiring ap- pointment to the consular service makes application for 'such appoint- ment through the secretary of state on a form furnished by the state depart- ment. From among these applicants the president designates to take an ex- amination those candidates who seem properly qualified for the servii.e and W210 aro not from states which already have 'Here than their share of appoint- ments in the service, each state, so far as possible, being • allowed appoint- ments proportioned on the basis of population. Naturally if the service needs men and but few candidates present them- selves from states that are underrep- resented some candidates from states overrepresented must also be designat- ed for the examination. In making these designations politics is given no consideration, the service being now upon a strictly nonpartisan basis. Then when the set time arrives the candidate presents himself at Wash- ington and takes a written examina- tion in international, maritime and commercial law, political and commer- cial geography, arithmetic, modern languages, French, German or Span- ish; the natural, industrial and com- mercial resources and commerce of the United States, political economy, Amer- ican history, government and institu- tions, and the modern history (since 1850) of Europe, South America and the far east. To determine a candidate's business ability, alertness, general contempora- ry information and natural fitness for the service, including moral, mental and physical qualifications, character, address and general education and good command of English, he then takes an oral examination. All those candidates who receive a total mark of 80 per cent are then pronouuced qualified for appointment, and their names go on the list of eligibles from which future appointments aro made. -Robert D. Hein! in Leslie's. Ignoring Noise. Our suggestion that the senses be trained to ignore noise recalls Lord Lyndhurst's heroism. He found edu- cation in distraction. "I recollect many years ago," he wrote, "when I was Studying in chambers, having a neighbor who was Iearning to scrape on the violin. I was at first disposed to complain of my neighbor's innocent pastime as an annoyance, but on a lit- tle reflection I said to myself, 'Is It wise in me to object? Let me see whether I cannot stand it without dis- traction. If I can, what an admirable discipline it will be to me in pursuing my mathematical studies!' After a time I ceased to bear fhe nuisance as It was called; it made no impression on me." Even an amateur violinist has his apostolic mission! -London Chronicle. The Camel's Peculiarity. The camel alone among animals does not perspire with its entire skin. It perspires only in the back of the neck and so when traveling in extreme heat does not require a continual supply of water in order to replace the moisture evaporated through the pores. A curi- ous consequence of this singularity is the fluctuation within 4 degrees of the blood temperature of a healthy camel - that is, a rise of temperature of 4 de- grees, which in a human being and in other mammals would be a sign of fe- ver, is a normal function with the camel. -New York Sun. Always Fairy Tales. There has never been a language spoken that has not been used for tell- ing fairy tales, Whether in hot lands or cold, among savages or the most cultivated nations -why, not a mo- ment passes in which some one, some- where, is not telling a fairy tale or listening to one or reading one or per- haps writing a new one, which makes it delightfully probable that we shall always have them with us, however scarce the fairies may have made themselves, in these prosaic and prac- tical days.-Hildegarde Hawthorne In St. Nicholas. The Fitness of Things. During a discussion of the fitness of things in general some one asked, "If a young man takes his best girt to the grand opera. spends $8 on a supper after the performance and then takes her home in a taxicab should he kiss her good night?" An old bachelor who was present growled: "1 don't think she ought to expect lt. Seems to me he bas dons enough for her." -Argonaut. Up Against it. "There is an old proverb ttu the effect that 'when one door shuts another one opens: so cheer up." "That proverb don't help me none Sty wife's mother is visitin' ns an' the proverb ought to read, 'When one mouth shuts another one opens." - Roston Herald. The Way Out of It.

The relative desirability of farming as compared with other occupations is largely a personal matter, and must be determined by the circumstances, tastes, and desires of the individual concerned. Considered from the standpoint of stability,safety and profitableness, there are considerable differences between farming and other lines of busines. It is for the most part made up of small, independent units. Farming is,perhaps, more stable and less susceptible toseri- ous interruption from disturbances in the financial world than any other business. On the other hand, it is per- haps more dependent on the elements than any other form of business. In addition, the average profits in farming are small. Farming does not readily lend itself to corporatiotion methods of conducting business, and is therefore pre-eminently a business of individual, rather than corporate enterprise. In fact, farmers as a classs live so much to themselves, and depend so little on each other in the conduct of their business, that it is difficult to secure co-operation among them even when this co-operation would be highly advantageous to those concern- ed. Yet the hope of the future, that the farmer may be able to cope success- fully with those who are, in a sense, organized against him, or who are in a position to take unfair advantage of him, lies in the possibility of develop- ing co-operative effort, especially in the matter of buying and selling. This is more especially true in the case of selling perishable farm products, such as fruit and truck crops. -Bulletin 259, U. S. Department of Agriculture. This year's grant of $10,000 by the Ontario Government for wet weather insurance will be required to meet the losses sustained by the agricultural so- cieties. J. Loekie Wilson a few days ago showed that the reports that the losses were less general than last year, when the full amount of $10,000 was also required but the amount would hardly suffice to meet the requirements. It is divided on a pro rata basis, the maxi- mum to a society being 3300. No grant is made to cities of 30,000 or over. Mackenzie & Mann are, it is said, to build a radial railway from London to Sarnia. George Craddock, an architect in Lon- don for fifty years, died there at the age of eighty-two.
