The following are the quotations: All Read Newspapers "The newspaper which circulates among the people, all the people, is the medium in which I advertise my most expensive carpets and rngs," said a high- class dealer. "Rich people do not have papers of their own, but read the most enterprising. Some of the people who buy costly goods make you wonder where they get the money to do it. Any- how, they do not read the magazines, but do rend the newspapers. In short, everybody reads the newspapers." The Bank of Hamilton. The thirty-second annual general meeting of the shareholders of the Bank of Hamilton will be held at Hamilton on Monday next. The annual report shows an exceedingly satisfactory state of af- fairs.

Mr. Frank Cain, son of Mr. Thos. Cain, of the Cain hotel, Lucknow, passed a- way on Saturday evening last after sev- eral months illness. Deceased young man was well-known to many of our readers and was highly respected by a large circle of friends. About a year ago he purchased a grocery store at Lucknow and was building up an excel- lent trade, but a few months ago was strioken with appendicitis and after the operation he gradually sank until the end came. He leaves a young winow, father and mother to mourn his loss. PITH AND POINT. No grown person should child. Any man who has lithographs printed show. The trouble with having a good word for everybody is that wbeh you pay a compliment it doesn't count. We hope we are not lacking in sym- pathy, but when they tell us that a fat woman is "delicate" we laugh. After a man has been engaged three or four weeks he begins to find oppor- tunities to take sides in her quarrels. We don't know what it requires to become shilful at repartee, unless it is to think as quick as when the baby has the croup. Ever notice how people reach over the preserves after the pickles? And how they insist on passing pickles in- stead of preserves to others? C. 0. F. High Court in Session.
