As a result he is a. little lame but otherwise he escaped unhurt In reply to a correspondent who wants to know the rules for the" stamp flirtation," the Boston Globe emphatic ally declares: "The first rule is that putting the stamp ou a letter designed- ly any where excepting on the right hand upper corner of the envelope in- dicates that the writer is a fool." Peat fnei was used recently in the locomotives on the Central Ontario railway in a run from Trenton to .Ros- lin, and Trenton to Piston. In the former ease a:heavy load was hauled The tests are reported to have shown. that the new fuel, with a change in the engines, so as to limit the draft, will prove superior to eoal. Even with the present draft the test was satisfactory. It is against the law to send stamps • in payment of an account. On Oct. 1st the order went out from the postal authorities that no stamps were to be redeemed. Any person selling stamps without a license shall be find not less than $10 not more than $40 for each offence. The law bas been, on the statute books for many years but with the introduction of the postal note system will now be enforced. It is also illegal to sell stamps for less than their face value. --Ex.

The Stratford Herald makes this timely suggestion: —" It is now a little more than a fortuight before Christ- mas, and the time is opportune to re- mind our readers of the advantage of doing their Christmas shopping as early as possible, both in their own interest and that of the merchants and their clerks. As will be seen by consulting; the advertisiug columns, the stocks of goods are now ready, and the early purchasers will serve their own interests by taking advantage of the fact, having better assortments to choose from and better opportunities for selection as compared with the con- ditions that exist later on, when the ships are crowded and everybody is rushed. By doing their shopping'; earlier our citizens will greatly re lieve the work of the clerks and ensure more satisfactory results to themselves.Ale r Irl or the x'oor.

BISSnTT, Clerk, Renew for 1899, Tho time has arrived when our fri ends should send in their subscriptions for the coming year. It is a compar- atively easy matter for every subscriber to set himself or herself right an our books for the ensuing term, and when that is done they are not hauuted by a label marked in arrears each and every week. To those who are now behind some two, three and even more years we desire to talk plainly. They want the ADVOCATE and would be greatly annoyed if we were to cease sending it hut they never think of paying for the paper when payment is due. A dollar will pay for the ADVOCATE for a whole year and the person who :cannot or will not pay that -small amount should have the common honesty of pay- ing up and have the paper discontinu- ed. If they have beenbenefited by - our productions to the extent of one dollar a year then why don't they pati- like any honest man would. On the other hand, if a subscriber is desirous of paying and has made an honest en- deavor to put his desire into effect, but failed, we sympathise with him and if he will acquaint us of the fact we will continue his paper just the same. We don't like those silent deliquents. If your intentions Etre good, let us hear from if they are bad let us hear ,from you. Now, a word to the wise is suf- ficient, look at your label and see how you,stand and if it needs it have it moved up to the uppermostnotch. Send lu your subscription and we will db l the rest.
