CONDENSED WOOD.—A gentleman
in town bought three cords of stove
wood. The wood•fariner delivered
what he alleged was the proper
.quantity, but did not pile it as he
said he had measured it in the
origival pile just after it had been
-cut and stacked up. The purchaser,
having doubts about the quantity.
insisted ou it being piled and
measured. Tho seller complied and
much to his chargiu could only
make the alleged three cordo pan
•out two and a half cords. I -Te
:scratched his heed and remarked to
the buyer, "The wood having for
-sometime doen piled in a high pile
the weight meet have compressed
-or condensed it, but you have the
wood all the same". The buyer
couldn't see it. He thought the
same about the wood as he did about
kindness. A friend a few days be-
fore was justifying the charity of
the present age, by saying there is
as much of the milk of human
kindness now as ever, only it is in
a condeneod form. "By ding," said
•a tramp, "I prefer the old fashioned
undiluted stuff" "Now," said the
buyer of the wood, "I prefer the old
fashioned cord of 128 feet to the
-full cord or 64 feet to'the stove
cord whether it is diluted or com-
pressed. And look here," taking a
stick 18 inohe8 long, the average
length in the pile, "1 suppose you
account for this shortness too .by
shrinking or condensing." "I
suppose I must be consistent," said
the seller, "and say so, for that was
at least 22 inches long when it was
cut" The seller did not insist on
allowance for the shortage between
18 and 24 inches but paid for 2,'i
-cords, though, as he afterward re-
marked, "all I actually received was
20x4x1?�-120 feet, instead of
20x4x2=160 feet. "Now" he con-
tinued, "I think wood selling in this
manner is nothing short of fraud.
I was asked to pay for 3 cords ;
•according to sellers own measure.
•went I received but 2i cords, where-
as I really got something less than
'two colds.'

The following letter has bean sent
by the Lodge of A. U. U. W. to
their Brethren in Bay City, Mich,,
in reference to the death of a mem
her of the order.
Clinton Nov. 7. 1891.
DEAR SIR AND BROTH ER. —
At a meeting of Locke No. 144, A. O.
U. W. of Clinton, Ont., a resolution was
•passed exp-eesing the gratitude of the
Brethren to the Brothers of the A. 0. U.
W. lodgegof West Bay City, Mich., for
--their great kindness and attention to
their late Brother Robert H, Cook. The
deceased 'Brother was not a member of
our lodge, but he was one neighbor and
'our countryman and a member of nur
order ; we therefore appreciate much all
that was done to comtort him while liv-
ing, and the respect shown to him when
life had passed away. The members of
the lodge alert wish to oxprase their ser -
tow that owing to a misunderstanding
eariaing from the regretable illness of one
of its officers, they were unable to cotn-
ply with the request made by telegram
to bury the deceased Brother under the
auspices ofoar lodge. -
Yours fraternally,
In C, fl, and P.,

IIEEve CAwrtne, of Bayfield, we
are ror•ry to learn, is very ill.
Friday of last week . Mr. W. R.
Baker held a very successful public
examination in his school. It was
moat beautifully decorated with ever•
green boughs, pictures, vases etc.,
by the pupils and presenteda pretty
appearance. It was largely attended
by parents teachers and others num-
bering in all over fifty visitors. There
were one hundred and seven pupils
including filth class from Varna.
Inspector John E. Tom was present
and his affable manner won him the
esteem of all present. He examined
the pupils in Miss Duncan's depart-
ment in the forenoon and was much
pleased with the progress of the
pupils. In the afternoon took place
the examining of Mr. Baker's pupils
and a class or two of junior pupils
from the other room. The Inapector
took the lowest first class and develop-
ed a series of words having similar
aounds,by tho phonetic system, which
he considered was the most rapid and
thorough method of getting the child
to . become a good reader. Other
classes were examined by the several
teaobers in attendance namely,
Messrs. Balfour, Delgatty and Harn•
well and the Misses Fell, Martyn and
McFarlane, and were found to be
p .m:optlandlthor•ough in their answers.
There was an entertainment of songs
recited and acted. After which
came the presentation of a beautiful
album and a copy of Lover's poems
on Ireland" to Mr. Baker, the princi-
pal, by the fifth class pupils, accom-
panied by the following address :
TO MR. W. R BAKER.
Dear 'Teacher,—The undersigned pu-
pile of the fifth oiass beg to show our ap-
pr-o ation of your u.itiriug efforts in our
behalf tiering the past year and ask your
acceptance of this slight token of esteems,
and runt you may long 'be spared to im
part knowledge. Signed, Maggie Beat-
tie, Charlotte Marks, Jehn W hidden,
Hilda Moorhouse, ' Laura Thibaudeau,
Malcolm Whiddon, Lizzie Ferguson,
Olive Taomson, Geo. Peck.
Mr. Baker returned heartfelt thanks
for their great kindness to him and said
he would endeavor to performs his work
as faithfully in the future. Inspector
Tom then commented on the great ire-
pottanoe of having plenty of air space in
the schoolroom and the great necessity of
seeding children regularly to school.
A little spark may kindle a great
fire, so one or two days absence from
school may discourage the child so
as to lose all interest in education.
It gratified him yery much to see so
many of the parents and friends there;
among whom ware the Rev. Mr. Newton
whose smiles brightened the counten-
ances of those at one end of the school
while Rev. Mr. Henderson diel a similar
service at the other end. Messrs. John
Morgan and John Pollock and many
others showed their interest in the
children's welfare. Short addressee were
delivered by Masora. Morgan and Pol-
lock, also by the Rev. Mr. Henderson
who showed the importance of good edu•
cation ao it fitted children for almost
any ptsition in life., Teachers Balfour,
liarewell and Dolgatty expressed their
pleasure on the thoroughness of the
work done. The proceedings of the day
ended by singing "God save the Queen."'
and Rev. Mr. Hendoreon pronounced the
b •nedictiun.
Tho present teachers are re-
engaged for the ensuing year at the
same salaries. Although praise has
been heaped upon both teachers yet
there was no mention of increasing
the salaries to encourage them to
put forth greater efforts in their
work.
