Flavelle, one of Toronto's most successful business men, has established for a term of years, with the prospect of ultimate full endowment, a travelling fellowship of $750 a year with the University of Toronto. Mr, Flavelle's purpose is that the person holding the fellowship shall take a course of study best fitted to qualify him for entering public life in Canada. The holder of the fellow. ship must take first class honors in one of the two departments of class. ice or of English history, the latter course including a considerable amount of Greek and Latin. Mr. Flavelle thinks that the student who takes the highest place In the subject of history should be given the fellow. ship. When appointed, he is to go to the University of Oxford, and there for two years to devt.te himself to the study of modern history, It is hoped that he will then come back to Canada well equipped to take pelt in public affairs. FIFTY YEARS AGO. Mr. Robert McMillan, of Roxboro, MoKillop, has shown the Seaforth Expoeitor a document which has ' now become somewhat ancient. It is a receipt which he received from Mr. Horace Horton, ex.M.P., of Gide- rich, and is dated the 13th day of February, 1852, now nearly half a century ago. Mr. Horton was at that time acting MI census commie. stoner for the county of Huron, and Mr. McMillan as enumerator for the township of TuckersinIth. The re. celpt is an acknowledgment by Mi.. Horton uf the return sheets sent him by Mr. MeMilhut. these sheets showed the population of Tucker. smith et that time to he 1,726. Both gentlemen, although then in the prime of lite, are still hale and hearty, and we are sere that it is the wish of their numerous friends that they may be long spired to go out and in amongst us. Mr. McMillan says that the snow that winter, when I lie took the eelieus, was very deep. In the neighborhood of the 10th etei. ceeeion there was s dense swantp, ! which deer with very tumorous, and, ne there Was a crust on the snow, it was hard tor them to get, urmintl, and, consequently they were very easily captured.

Even some ankers use bed gram- mar. A creased pair of trousers rnay need patching. One is always meeting people he doesn't want. Every man thinks the market gces up just after he has sold. We observe that railway men al- ways have good appetites. When a girl get. to wearing a boy's hat, she needs looking after. It is not the man with the biggest gun who gets the most game. It takes some nerve to select one of two barbers when both are idle. When a man sells his home, every- body wonders if it is mortgaged. Some men quarrel so much that after a while they think they enjoy it. Every barber has some customers who think nobody else can shave them. The fellow who goes to the train earliest dyes not always get away first. In a good twiny drawers you can find preacher's salary envelopes unused. Even a women has no use for a man who sits around the house in the after- noon. Dont give up a bill for lost. The fellow may get married and make it good.
