Mrs. Eliza Hagan died at the re- sidence of her son-in-law, George .Bates, Welland, on Thursday last, at the age of 95 years. She had been a member cef the Methodist Church for 87 years. Mr, Hagan died a few years ,ago, aged 95 years. !She was the oldest Methodist in Canada. The anniversary set•vices in con- nection with the Presbyterian tchurch, Varna, was. held in the church on Sabbath last, October 13th, when services were conducted at 11 a.m. and -7 p.m. by Rev. Neil Shaw, of Egmonde ille. The church has recently been renovated and iinpruvc•d throughout and now pre- sents a most pleasing and comfor- table appearance. Many will regret to learn of the death of Mrs. William Oke, which occurred at her home on the Eippen road, Tuekersmith, on Wednesday. - The deceased, whose Maiden name was Caroline Louise Mills, was the daughter of the late John Mills, of Hullett, and was just in the prime of life, being only 41 years of age.

A :RETORT OF FATHER TOM B UR'KE TO A CRITIC. Father James likely Was Another Clerical }Iiainorist of Ireland. "Holy men have considered hum- or to have a high place in the ethics of life," says the L+'cclesiati- cal Review, which is only another way of stating the wel'i known fact that most clergymen, of whatever faith, like a joke .as well as the next man. There was Nicholas Burke, for instance, better known as Father Thomas Burke, the great Irish pat- riot and preacher. Father Tom had a great fondness for riding on the top of an omnibus. Once when do- ing so after a long church service in Dublin he produced his breviary and was soon deep in its contents. A well known evangelical s trting near by took upon himself to com- ment.upon the act. "The Lord tells us," he said, "that when we pray we should not be as the hypocrites, who love to pray in public and.atthe corners of streets, that they may be .seen by men." "Now," he added, "when I pray I enter into my closet and when I. have shut the door I pray in secret." Without looking up Father Burke replied aloud, "Yes, and then you get on the top of an omnibus and tell every one all about it." A CLEVER RETORT. This incident recalls an episode in the career of Vicar -General, after- ward Cardinal, MacCabe, who dis- approved of priests riding on top of a bus as undignified. Having seen Father Dan O'Keefe of St. Paul's travelling outside one of the afore- named -vehicles he addressed to him a, brief note : "Dear Keefe, I have seen you on top of a bus! Get on' the inside in future." Father O'Keefe, described as a hough diamond, replied by return' mail: "Dear Cabe, I have often seen you on the top of a horse. Get thee henceforth ins* the animal." Once when Father Burke was go- ing to Cork lie met in a crowded railway carriage a main who, re- peatedly slipping, his hand into an inside pocket of his coat and draw- ing out a bottle, went on drinking drams, which made the father fear that he might soon become unpleas- ese o gray entry (including the time required to earn homestead patent) andoultivete fifty acres. extra.

Among the clerical humorists of. Ireland Father James Healy stands out prominent. Sir Redvers Bull- er dined with him on one occasion when the other guests were Arch- bishop Walsh and eleven priests. Sir Redvers made a slight start when he 'saw he was the only lay- man. "Never mind," said Father Healy, "the soutane is not worse than the Sudan." Once Father Healy was asked how he would describe a Scotch - man, and in answer, assuming as he spoke the Scots accent, said : "A Soot is a mon wrha keeps the Saw - bath and iverything else that he can git." Father Healy, a thoroughly tem- perate man, on one occasion order- ed a htnnorous cabman at Bray, known to indulge in an occasional drop, to call for him after dinner at the house of a friend.. On the jarvey's arrival Father Healy was grieved tv notice that he was not quite sober. "Drunk again, Peter," muttered the priest. "Well, to tell yer the truth, yer reverence, I'm a little that way myself.". A barber once in shaving the father had a very trembling hand. "There now," exclaimed Fatherl Healy, "you have cut me I Ooh, whiskey, whiskey 1" he wound up by way of lamenting the source of the bather's unsteadiness. •"Yes, yer reverence ,"'replied the barber promptly, "it do make the ekiri fonder, don't it?" A goner many witty toying* are lilt down to the .credit of tbn Angli- can telergy 'tyro. A workingman once caulked Bishop Wilberforce to tell him THE ROAD TO HEAVEN. "Take the first turn to the right and keep straight ou," was the ready and apt reply. A Lutheran refrain, "The devil is dead," was once being, chanted by two Oxford undergraduates as they lounged about the hall of Ouddes- don Palace. Gently walking up to them the Bishop placed one hand on each head, saying,,i "Alas! poor orphans." Bishop Stubbs had a great ob- jection to the complaints which squires and churchwardens brought him about hard working clergy whose ritualistic pratices gave of- fence to the former. On one oc- casion a layman having described the observances of his vicar added : "Why, my lord, before lie begins his sermon he ,actually kisses his stole." "Well, well, Mr. —, per- haps that is better than if he stole his kiss." A clergyman' once applied to the Bishop for permission to go to the Holy Land for three months. The answer came : "My dear—, go to Jericho 1 Yours ever, W. Oxon." Although reputed a High Church- man Bishop Stubbs did not care much for vestments, and when some ladies wished to embroider him a cope he was -heard to say he would rather have half adozen new shirts. One day the organ stopped in the middle of a hymn and the Bishop was heard to exclaim : "Blow the organ 1" At the close of the Christmastide service the verger with great solem- nity asked 'Have you any further use for the mace, my lord?" "No, take it away and put it in the pud- ding," said he. From Canon Beeching comes the following story : "it was the morn- ing after a banquet, and a solicit- ous friend who had sat beside Bis- hop Stubbs, happening to meet him, asked if he got home all right. The Bishop looked slightly surprised at the "question, but at once added, with an apparent gleam of com- prehension. 'Oh, yes, it was only my boots that were tight.' " • WATER FRONTS BES'CPIF `L. European Cities Do Not Allow Conunereo to Destroy Theni. The maritime cities of Europe in- sist that commerce shall make terms with beauty on their harbor fronts. Hamburg and Bremen have handsome warehouses'in a modified mediaeval style. The water -front of Antwerp and Stock- holm is walled with cement and stone. The quays of Havre are re- creation centres and the buildings meet conform to: a general architece eural plan. Instead of using their rivers to carry off sewage, instead of per- mitting unsightly commercial struc- tures to occupy their shores, European cities have treated the rivers as assets of beauty and en- joyment. London has the Victoria Embankment upon the Thames—a downtown riverside park. ' Paris has lined the Seine with stone quays and ,faced ib with public buildings anti palaces. Cologne has occupied , nearly all the Rhine river -front with stone embankments and tree -bordered avenues. Buda- pest has it river -front streets high- er than the quays of the Danube and these are lined with fine public and private buildings. In the Bruhl Terrace overlooking the Elbe Dresden • has "the Balcony of Europe." Berlin has built stone quays along the Spree and planted the banks with trees. It has made stone and cement walls for its canals, HEROISM 01? ENGINEER. Officer Went to Certain Death PASSING OF THE BOOTJACK ;9CE LISED BY ALL NEN, NOW BY VERY PEW. tubber Boots Aro Largely Taxing the Place of Cowhide Boots. Time was when there was at least° one bootjack in every home, for iii, those days father and son wvori:` boots, and when boots were web d tight a bootjack was a necessity:. Then all of a sudden., some Lift or thereabout ago, the gre, years g � majority of men took to wearing shoes. Then in many homes . 'the bootjack passed out of use and o'lit. of sight and out of mind. Thereire many people of the present geil'ta:;; tion who never saw a bootjack a 11r even heard of one. And etillA5te are sold at the; present day seine bootjacks, for there are still some men who wear boots, either as their customary foot apparel or at times in pursuit of labor or recreation. There are still some fine el& gentlemen who continue to wean'' fine calfskin boots. There are thou- sands of farmers who still wear• boots, but in the boots worn by.' farmers there has been also a great ti revolution. Where once they all wore cowhide boots, now the maj- ority wear rubber boots, and if they' buy with them the socks intended to, be worn with them the rubber bo,.ts pull off easily and there is no need of a bookjack. THE ORIGINAL BOOTJACK was made of a strip of wood afoot or more in length by three or four inches in width and an inch or so in thickness. You sawed out a deep notch in une end of this piece. of wood or yon rounded out there,, t deep opening to put the, heel of the boot into, and a little back ef this notch you hailed across the under side of the board a cleat to raise that end of the bootjack off the floor. Then you put one foot on the boot- jack at the end on the floor and ysu put the other heel in the bootjack's jaw and you pulled on that foot to try to pull it out of the boot. Many a man and many a boy has had to do some right smart tugging to get his boots off, even with . tl bootjack. Some years before boot - jacks went out there were intro- duced also malleable iron bootjacles, k As. might be expected, the beet 8 jacks of the present are much like those ef old, but there is now sold a folding bootjack made in two lengthwise pieces hinged along the, middle. You can fold this bootjack up and fold down into a place Made for it the supporting cleat. The folding bootjack occupies less space at home -and is handy for tra>;'elling. Now also there is a bootjia.ck -with adjustiable jaws which candle set — for any size boot. What is called an ex yoke boot- jack is one that you can use with- out any bending over. THE OX YOKE BOOTJACK is held in a frame composed of two upright sticks about three feet high which are held together by two crosspieces, one near the bottom and one near the top. At the floor end the upright sticks of the frame are a foot apart, at the top some three or four inches. Across the top ends of ,the sticks is a handle for you to grasp. The crosspiece between the uprights down by the floor runs through £he bootjack from side to side just back of the jaw and the boot jack turns on this cross rod. When it is not in use you turn the boot- jack up between the uprights and then you can lean the outfit against a wall or set it in a closet in it takes up little room. Whet you Pursuance of Duty. want to use it you grasp it by the There has been no lack of cases over to let its free end rest on the • of heroism in the explosion which top handle and kick, the bootjack destroyed the French battleship floor and then there s your .beot- jacks ready for use without. any Liberfe in Toulon harbor, and one of them at least deserves to be placed on record. It was after the first explosion, which filled the holds with poison- ous gases. The electric wires were broken and all was in complete sleekness below. Chief Engineer Lestin, who had vainly tried to flood ithe ,ammunition magazines, tumbled half dazed on deck and reported to Lieut. Garner that he had -done his best, but the pumps were not working, and it was im- possible to flood the holds. "Try the impossible," was the reply "The magazines must be flooded." • Lestin touched his eap and eaid: "I will try again. But you will never see inc back alive." With 'a firm step he wept down below again and 'shortly after- wards the final catastrophe hap- pened. stooping ever. Then there's an imported boot- jack called the London fitted folding bootjack. This bootjack is of wood, hinged, as its name implies, to make it fold into smaller compass. •7:4 . has on its under side clasps to lrolcl a pair of baothooks.
