To fall right and easy without hurting yourself is an art well worth studying, but to have your feet shoot out frau tinder you while walking on a slippery piece of ice and then sit down in an inch or two of water, is an experience not exactly elevating or sublime but it certainly leaves a deep, soak- ing impression that ever reminds you when ever you attempt to sit down comfortably in a chair hours afterwards, Exchange.

There is no bigger farce in rnnni- cipal matters than the poll .tai. It' is a relic of pioneer days and has nothing to commend it. Fancy the spectacle sof a constable chasing a- round. young men to collect a dollar a head from them because they have committed the crime of reach- ing manhood. The principle if it may be called such, savors of the pugnacions order. The fact, too, that scores of young men deliberat- ely scheme to avoid it makes it un- fair to those who are honest enough to pay it. Like the toll gate it should go.—Exchange. Mr. F.
