SPENCE, Clerk.' ---• A Remarkable Opinion. A young woman journalist on the staff ef the gew York World, disguised as a man - about -town, and under the protection of a male confrere, went the rounds the other eveni g of the nensic halls, swell cafes and .e other1places where New Yorkers most do congr gate. Dropping in at Delmonico's, the snellest and clearest restaurant in the city, t following remarkable opinion was gleaned from one of the waiters there, in reply to a question : "No, I never drank a drop of liquor in my life. In the first plade, no waiters here are allowed to drink anything. In the next place, if ydu could be here as long as I have and see what I see every night, you would never want to drink anything. There are more bright young me4 going to ruin by way of the swell res- tauiants of New York than any other rode. Aside from the morals of the easel thee men make me tired. I Should hate te go away from here when we close up, feel= ingsthat I had made such a fool of myself an f I see are of these swells making of them- selves.Of course it is none of my business, but a man can't stand around here every night in the year, and see what I see and hear what I hear, withont a feeling of dis- gust for human nature."

The latter was allowed to lie down by the side of the little crushed boy. He crept'hp to him and said: "Bobby, did you nav-ei hear about Jesus ?" ' " No ; I never heard of him." "Bobby, I went to a mission school once, and they told us that 'Jesus would take you to heaven when you died, and you'd never hunger any more and, have no more pain, if you axed him."- " I cOuldn't ask such a big gentleman as he to do anything for me. He wouldn't stop to speak to a boy like me.?' "But he'll do all that if you ask him." "How can I ask hiin if I don't know where he lives, and how can I get there when both of my legs are broken." " Bobby, they told me at -the mission school as how Jesus passed by; teacher says as he goes round. How do you know but what he might come round to this hospital this very. night? You'd know him if you was to see Kiln.' " ButI can't keep my eyes open. My legs feel so awful bad. Doctor says I'll die.' "Bobby, hold up your hand and he'll know what you want when he passes by." "They got the hand up • it dropped. They tried again; it slowly fell back. Three times he raisedlthe little hand only to let it fall. Bursting 'Into tears he said: I give it u'p.'

"1 was pro -pro -o -mated, and the teacher's awful cross! She ex -expects me to know things when I do-ont'-t know 'em!" " Promoted. ! Why how nice! You didn't expect to be !" It isn't nice at all, mamma, ! And she's beginning to tell us about adjectives and verbs and, things ! And it's horrid! It's too hard. I don't like such hard lessons. If I was only as big as you, I'd never have to learn any. Oh, dear 1 I don't see why we must learn such hard things !" "But the lessons I learn are a great deal harder, dear. If you had to learn my les- son, what would you do ?" • "You don't leans any lessons," said Alice, laughing through her tears. Paul looked up from his book, and Nellie from her crochet- ing, and joined in the laugh. "1 don't ! Well, you are mistaken, all of you. I am older, and so my lessons are harder than yours, of course. They are not adjectives, it is true ; but I don't like them any the better on that account, and I very often make as much fuss about the learning as you do." Nellie's eyes grew round, and the corners of PauPs qvizzical mouth twitched as he watched her wonderful stare. "Sometimes, I think," slowly said mam- ma, looking through the window up into the sky, while three pairs of young eyes noted her faraway glance—" Sometimes I think, children, that I ought never to find fault with you, for I cry and rebel over my les- sons far worse than any of you. I feel this way. I can't understand it, you know. I can't see why I must learn such hard things 1" "Why, that's exactly the way I feel 1" exclaimed Nell. "But my teacher is very firm. When he says must,' I have to obey, 1 may struggle and get angry, or cry. I may say I won't,' or '1 can't, or It is too hard' ; but in the end I have to learn my lesson just the sense. And as soon as I have finished one lesson, my teacher sets me another, and it is always a little more difficult than the last." —A convention of Prohibitionists at Paris 'decided to support the straight Liberal can- didate in North Brant in preference to the Patron Liberal, because, it was said, the Ontario Government had committed itself to Prohibition. _-Thomas Burke, youngest son of Mr. Wm.

Priestley's fabrics are now sold in Canada by firat-elase dealers. They are made of wool, and wool and silk, and are distinguished by an exqutaite fineness of texture and a beautiful draping quality.
