Limited Toronto, Ont. 97R WROXETER We are sorry to, say that Mrs. Fish- er has suffered another slight stroke, and is confined to her bed again. A number from here attended the funeral of the late Mrs. Jack Gallaher on Saturday afternoon. The millers were busy on 5anday raising the gates in the dam to let. the water away as it was getting high. Mrs: Geo.. Gibson has been getting. the saw mill ready to do custom work. A very large number of sympath- etic friends that gathered' in the Un- ited' Church., Belmore, on Saturday af- ternoon to mourn with those who mourned the passing .away of their loved one„ attested the very high re- gard in which Mrs. Jack Gallaher was held. The 'service was most im= pressive, , Rev. Mr. Taylor of Rock- wood, a former' pastor of the -deceas- ed, assisted by Rev Mr. Turnbull, of- ficiated. He based his remarks upon "The brevity of life, the words being. found in the 89th 'Psalm. How sad, how inexpressibly sad for her partner in life, but in his awful loneliness he has the deep consolation of one whose anchor holds within the veil.. Mrs. Gallaher was born and grew up in Howick and was of a cheerful dispo- sition and Christian character; -so that friendship's circle was to her a large one. Indeed it may be said of her that none knew h'er but to love her. To her the struggle and burden of earth are ended and we confidently trust that like one who awakes from a troubled dream she has awakened to see life's endless morning break and knows herself at .home with all the loved ones missed from earth, safe about her: The floral tributes were most beautiful, being from husband, parents, brothers, sisters, Masonic Order and other 'friends and relatives. neighbors was beautifully expressed by their many acts of kindness. The late Mrs: Gallaher who was confined to her room for several montfis, pass- ed away Wednesday night, February 19th, in her 26th''ear. The funeral which was held Saturday afternoon to the Gorrie cemetery was largely attended. The pall bearers were:— Messrs. Sterling Haskins, Nelson Gowdy, Gordon Mulvey, Thomas Ab- raham, Howard Wylie, 'Clarkson Douglas. To all the stricken ones we extend our most sincere sympathy., ?Lr. H. Hemmings is confined to his honie through an attack of Bron- chitis. • While moving his household effects from his farm in Grey into Wrox- eter last week, Mr. David Brecken- ridge.lost a valuable horse when .it broke its leg and had to be shot. Not in many years has such spring- like ,weather occurred in February.

The February rneeting of the Wo- men's• Missionary Society was held at the home ref Mrs. T. Gibson with ae attendance of eighteen. Mrs. Boling- broke olingbroke conducted the devotional per- iod. After the 'minutes and business, the roll was called and was respo•nd- ed to by verse containing the word "Redeemer." The programme was in charge of the New Canadian group. Mrs. T. Gibson gave a splendid out - book. ,A. very pleasing instrumental solo was then given by Miss Mary Gibson, entitled "Joy to tEe World." Mrs. Wendt gave a very pleasing ;alk on our work among New Canadians. Mrs, A. 3. Anderson told about the opening of the Church .of all Nations, in the Queen Street C1ii.irch, Toronto, where fifteen different nationalities are now worshipping. A hymn was. sung and the meeting closed by re- peating the Lord's Prayer in unison. The World's Day of. Prayer will be observed in . the United Church on ' Friday,: March `7th, at 8 -p.m. All the ladies of the community are invited. We extend heartiest congratulations to Miss.

SALEM Mr. Cleve Stafford's sale was well attended last week. Everything sold brought a fair price. A large number from this locality attended the funeral of Mrs. Jack Gal- laher of.Belmore last Saturday. They formerly resided in this community they have the sympathy of this nei- ghborhood.

THE ALEXANDRIAN LIBRARY. ',ITN THE ARAB GUIDE Lady Ingram. Says "]fie Pays Our 7Bflls, Bargains far 13s,. Supplies Us With.

But the youngest chilC of - one eluded Biel, and hiding be- hind, his gorgeous blue and yellow robe, peeped out and waved a tin? hand, calling "Gooboy, gooboy, ,till I threw him a copper. Abdalla wa displeased. "Thatboy is too small tc punish," he remarked regretfully. but I, Facial Abdalla, do not permi beggars near my tourists." In the bazaars, 'Fadladl is a giani among pygmies, and the dealers nes• er ,"do" him, barsaaln they never s= shrewdly. It was he who got me thr old Persian broeade bag, with ttv jewelled enaaaei top, on which Ilia• set my heart. Thirty-five dollars the vendor asked for It. - "Tut, tut," said Fadladl, "Lady- ship, Ladyship, make out a cheque for twenty five dollars." "'Thirty dollars is my last price,' said the dealer, "You wait outside, Ladyship," sae Fadladl. "I (finish him." And he di:: As an organizer Abdalla is unser- passed.

"My daughters," he told me, "still wear the yashmak. The younger one a little troublesome, but I deal with her." And he flicked his fly -whisk reminiscently. In . Cleopatra's Time It Contained 700,000 Volumes or Rolls, i • The Alexandrian Library was the l greatest library of antiquity. In the time of Cleopatra it contained about 700,000 volumes or rolls. It was founded by Ptolemy Soter (who died in 283 B. C.) at the suggestion of his friend Demetrius of Pha]erum, an Athenian philosopher, orator and statesman. The greater portion of it was de- stroyed in the Alexandrian er a., but the loss was largely repaired b,' Mere Anthony, who presented C,i itpa:'a with the library taken at tau siege of Pergainos. From then uri,i A i,. y 391 the library ins eased in ..la i end 4 reputation, containing teat , e of learning in all known tongues. At the burning of the temple of Jupiter Serapis, about that time, by, tate Christians under Theodosius :,he Great; a portion was last .said waren the Arabs under Caliph Omar took the city in A.D. 1340, the destruction was completed. The library was the chief glory of the city that succeeded Athens as the intellectual centre of the world And what posterity lost by its destruction cannot be adequately il expressed. Cure for Black Eye. An excellent remedy for a black eye is a leech.. These funny little slate - colored slug - like ,creatures, l .which' were once so extensively used blood oo from by doctors for suckingdrom a discolored eye. In a recent fight in ( London one of the contestants recely- 1 ed a terrific punch in the eye, which Ii began to swell rapidly. A leech was bought for a few pence from a neigh,- 1 eigh1 boring chemist and attached to the 1 eye. The result, was that the leech also began to swell rapidly and the congealed blood was drawn from the 1 eye. Leeches, which generally live in streams, ponds, rnarshes or ditches, I have two suckers, one at each end. Most people imagine that they were useful only in the old and more bar- , baric days of medicine, but a Press Association reporter found recently that they are still frequently used ! with great success. .

The fire was first noticed byschool children about three o'clock and the message was phoned in to Gorrie. WET AND DRY. Seven Years' Drought In Some Parts' ,of South America,. Many people, if asked what was the driest place in the world, would plump for Central Australia, where rain fell recently after a drought that had lasted for seven years• Theywould be wrong, for there aro some parts of South America where a seven years' drought is noth- ing, and a man can live. out the Psalmist's "three score and to n" without ever seeing a drop of rain. Of course, it may rain sometimes. Lord Erxiest Hamilton has described the coming of rain in Lima, the cap- ital. of Peru, during a visit he paid there. "We were fortunate enou;ii to be favored with the only shower which. Lima had enjoyed for seventy years," he writes in his book, "Forty Years On." "For five minutes it rain- ed solid tropical rain. The terror- stricken inhabitants thought the tend t f the world had mute." But if America can boast of some of the driest places in the world, it also contains some of the wettt"rt. tsreytown, in Nicaragua, has had as inueh as 297 inches of rain in a sin- gle year.
