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.' A. O. U. W. 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., John Cron, P. M. W. Committee. John Bean, Rect., W. Craig ` To Bro. L. B. (leroux, M. W„ West Bay City, Mich. BayIeld. 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. —Henderson Con., Balton, has been —e niereted fore o ,idyl ad`s by one of Tris oommittee men. .a Two, Septal Makes We Have are I.
