ENTERTAINMENT. —Tho entertainment un-
der the auspices of the Sons of Temperance,
which was given on Friday evening, was in
every way a success. The programme, con-
sisting of music, readings, dialogues, etc.,

number of excellent recitetions. Robert
Elliott discharged the duties of chairman
in a happy and efficient manner. The pro-
ceeds amounted to $16.90.

cently made several important sales. He
has sold to Mr. Wm. Thabolz, of Tucker-
emith, near Egmondville, the young Short
Horn bull, "Royal Huron," (15)510), for
the sum of $105. Mr. Bubolz is to be con-
gratulated on his purchase, as he has got a

prove the stock in that section. Mr. Milne

old heifer, and one, cow; also to Mr. John

New Uses for Old Hose.
There are some things whioh, when worn
out, are regarded as practically worthless.
They cannot be worked into rag carpets as
their ultimate end is the paper -factory.
Men's old cotton hose have usually been
regarded as belonging to this class of objeets,
while the woolen hose may be dyed and
worked into pretty and durable rugs. The
tops of two or three pairs of men's cotton
hose sewed together make the most satis-
factory floor -cloths. Being rather loosely
knit, they absorb the water very quicltly,
and they are, so soft that even if orte's
wriata are weak, one can wring them very
easily. Another thing one can use these
old hose for, is a lining for holders to be
used in handling cooking utensils while hot.
A covering may be made of denim or
cheviot. Yet another use to which they
`may be put is a duster for furniture or for
stoves. In either capietty they are unsur-
passed; not even the miich-praised cheese-
cloth duster can surpass them for gathering
dust from about the cook -stove, and the
cheese -cloth cannot be cleaned as easily as
the hose duster.
