Irish wit of the genuine kind is not extinct in Ireland, and it is not likely to become so, if we may judge from the sayings of some of the present generation. An Irish school inspector was examining a class in geography. He had pro- pounded a question regarding longitude. and received a correct answer from • the lad undergoing the ordeal "And now," he said, "what is latitude?" After a brief silence a bright youngster, with a merry twinkle inhis eye, said— "Please, sir, we have no latitdue in Ireland Father says the British Government won't allow us any !" HOW HE GOT EVEN. A travelling man who stutters spent all afternoon in trying to sell a grouchy business man a bill of goods, and was not very suc- cessful. As the salesman was locking up his grip the grouch was impolite enough to observe in the presence of his clerks : "You mast find that impediment in your speech very inconvenient." "Oh, n•no," replied the salesman. "Every one has his p -peculiarity. S -stammering is mine. What's— yours?" I'm not aware that I have any, replied the mercbant. "D -do you stir y -your coffee with your r -right hand?" asked the salesman. "Why, yes, of course," replied the merchant. "W -well, went on the salesman, that's your p -peculiarity. Most people use a t•teaspoon."-Success Magazine. UP AND DOWN. A story is told of a Frenchman who was very anxious to see an .American business man at his home. The first morning when he called at the house the maid re plied to his query : "The master is not down yet," meaning downstairs. The following morning he called again. and Was met with : "The master is not up yet," meaning that he had not yet arisen from his bed. The Frenchman, looking at her with doubtful eye, paused for .a few seconds. '•Eet ees very deet -cult,.; but eel' ze mademoiselle will tell me when ze master will be neither up nor down, but in ze middel, zen 1 vil call at Fat time." & REASON I'r'F 'z'ELL. He was a twentieth century hust- ling builder, and under his auspices cottages and houses sprang up like mushrooms. "Please, sir," cried one of his foremen, rushing up to him one morning, in a state of mental col lapse, "one of the new houses has fallen down overnight " "What !" roared the builder. "You mean to say that one of my well built, desirable residences has come to grief? Hew the dick- ens has that happened?" ••Wel]. sir," exclaimed the fore- man, "there was little mistake Unfortunately, we took' down the scaffolding tefore we put on . the wall -paper !"

LADIES' AID MEETING. The Ladies'.. Aid meeting. of the= Evangelical •church was well attended on Tuesday afternoon. the oceassion being a, special meeting for mothers and young ladies. which was much appreciat- ed. The devotional meeting was ably taken by Mrs. Edward Mei-- nen who also had charge of the program. The :drst part of the program consisted of five charact• ers of Bible women. The first paper being given by Mrs. Jacob Ort on "Mary" who had chosen the good part. Another paper was read by Mrs. Callas on "Mirian" oting the faithful watch she ept over her brother, Moses, I rd paper was on Martha, sister f Mary, who was encumbered ith many Cares, given by Mrs m. Hoffman. Another paper was aper was prepared by Mrs Adaru aust on "Dorcas" who was a oman of charity. These four owing the good characters, hale Mrs Wagner gave a paper ointing out the evil character of Isabella" reminding us with what measure we meet it shall be measured unto us. This was followed by a pleasing duet given by Mrs. Adana Faust and Mrs Hoffman. The President Mrs. (Rey.)

Each moth- er should possess the faculty of economy and bring forth the reasoning faculties in her daught- ers, for reason has almost lost its influence through the modern fashion. Words of encouragement were given to mothers in times of' grief and sorrow, while their families aro facing the perils of life. Home memories will over remain and lastly, "If we do nothing well, let us build within our own doors " A Ladies Quart- ette was given entitled ''Home Sweet Home" This brought art interesting programm to a close. the President expressed her grati- tude to the many friends for their kindness, after which the business was taken through by the Presi- dent. In five years the Erie Railroad has not had a single fatal accident. It transported 125,000,000 passen• gers and ran its trains 3,750,000,000 miles The record is probably un- matched on this continent, and it is gratifying to find railroads now competing with each other on some other basis than that of speed. Reports from the Londcn fur sales to hand show a very marked advance in all favored Canadian furs This important Canadian pro- duct should - realize a very sub- stantial return this year, as skunk raccoon. muskrat, fox, mink, er- mine, otter, beaver, etc, in all of which Canada figures largely, show from to to 70 percent increase in value. Ladies not fortunate enough to secure their favorite furs this season will experience a decided chill when they meet next year's prices. Of the indeterminate sentence Warden Gilmour, of Toronto wisely says that it places the criminal's future to a very large extent in his own keeping. It stimulates and calls forth all that is best in the man, and gives him an opportunity to redeem himself and fix the length of his prison term. The definite sentence holds out no such hope or opportunity and renders the dehuquent power- less to better his condition, be he ever so willing to do so. When the element of hope is taken out of the roan is annihilated. Several weeks ego a man drove a handsome automobile off the Det- roit ferry boat and told ' the cust- oms officers he was on the way to Portland, Maine, his home, by way of the high road to Buffalo. He made the usual affidavit as to his American citizenship and residence and the auto thereupon was bonded through to Niagara Falls, N. Y. Instead of going to the bonding point, however, .he drove his machine to Toronto, of which city he is a' prominent resi- dent. The Toronto officials ascer- tained how he had evaded passing of duty on an American machine, promptly, confiscated the outfit and the man had to pay $2,200 cash to settle the matter.
