We lipped il trom another paper whicb ne- pnintod il fnom a centemperary wbicb litted il from somowbere else, its original enigin heing lasti in the misty past. "The word 'editor'," says the clipping, "camnes trom the Latin cedi', meaning te give or put eut, and 'taurus'- Spanisb 'ter'-meaning the bull. As te the editonial 'we'-in the prebistoric days, wben editors carved their papers on stoe, an ediler bawled eut a citizen for nel paying bis taxes. The teilow came witb a big, knotly wan club, hammered on the lintel et the cave, peerod mIe I he darkness and howlod, 'Come eut et there, you liiy-livered se-and-sa!' The editer, doing some peering in ro- ture and sooing who il xvas, yelled hack, 'All right, you ditto, we'Il ho there in a minute!' The mrate subsoniher, nat hcing pnepared te make wan on a gang, burriedly fled, and sean torgol the incident." LOCAL MUSICIANS SCORE HIT AT JOINT RECITAL Two young weil known musi- cians from Ihis district, W. H. Wicket0f Port Hope and Edouard Batlett of Oshawa, went te Brantford recently as guesl antists for the Brantford Music Ciub's Christmas twilight necital,, and very seldom bas been heard a pro- gram of organ and violin Music 50 enjoyable and more skiifully interpreted. We clip the follow- ing from tbe Brantford Expositor: The annual Christmas recilal of the Music Club bas long heen noted fon ils artistic menit and this year's event was no exception te tbe nule. Artists have appcarcd in Brantford beforo who have como higbiy recommended as did Messrs. Wickett and BartletI, but aitbough some have not lived up compietely 10 thein recommenda- tiens, such was net the case at Ibis concert. Toronto music critics have praised the work and versa- tiliiy et these youtbful musicians and now Ibis writer feels con- slrained le add bis few words 10 those wbicb bave alneady been said. W. H. Wickett opcned the dis- tinctive pnegnamn witb Mendels- soho's intniguing organ "Sonala No. 1 in F Miner, Opus 65," and the renditien was most scbolarly and conciseiy done. Tbe allegro movoments were bandled witb verve and skill whiie the andante was a gem. Bacb's "Joccata and Fugue in ID Miner," Lemaigres captivating Capriccio," and Arthur Edger- ton's Prelude-Improvisatien on Voni Emmanuel," completed Mn. Wickett's individual programi and tbis latter group was beautifully piayed. The Lemaigre item was perbaps a bighiigbt, Ibis entranc- ing littie numben received deli- cate treatment. The Bacb number, a sbow piece involving many tecb. nicalities and ahounding with hazardous obstacles fer the play- or, was accompiished with a mini- mum of errons. Mr. Wicketl, be- sides being well trained as a tech- nician, is aise an artisî and im- parts a deiigbtful fluency of tone te bis wonk. From lime to lime many excel- lent violinisîs bave played in Brantford, including some ot in- ternational repute, wbose namne: arc houseboid words in the musi- cal world s0 10 spcak. The namn of Edouard Bartit bas net yet reacbed Ibal exalted state ef cmi- nonce, but tbe predictien is here- wilh made that ail tbings beini equal Ibis namne will in a few years hecome famous. Mn. Bartlict is a very clever young instrumenlalist and his program hbrooked 11111e in the wa: of criticism. Wieniawski's "Con- certo in D Miner" opened the pro- gram and Ibis writcr was sorr Mr. Bartiett enly gave tbe finst movement. It was heautifuli: played, the artist surmounting lbe many technical difficulties with commendable case and finesse. "Larghetto" (Handel Hubay), and 'Minuet" (Porpora-Krne i sl1er), came nexl and added te tbe en- joymenl ef tbe performance. His playing is cbaraclerized bya mankahie tonal fluency, varied expression and studious attention te detail. - He bows with fervor and individualismn and bis fingen- ing is dexterous and sure. Cenlinuing, Mn. Bartletl next playcd the familian "Nocturne in E Fiat" (Cbepin-Hubay), Mo- zant's delicate "Minuel," and con- cluded witb items by Godowski- Heifetz and Nachez. Here again the artist scorcd directly. His in- lerpretalion of tbe beauliful Nec- turne was excellent. The anlistic possibilA~ies efthte piece were ad- minabiy exploited and skilfully drawn eut and the audience wbich was large quickly sbowed ils ap- preciation ofthIe talents of the artisîs. The visit le Brantford of tbcs< accomplisbed young instrumental- ists provided music levers witb fine musical treat and a rosy fu- turc can be predicted for boh of tbem. Mn. Bartlicî was accom- panied aI the piano by Reginald G. Geen, L.T.C.M., of Osbawa, well known in Brantford. Mn. Geen teamed wilh the organist and violinisl in a splendid rendi- lion of tbe familiar "Ave Maria' wbicb breugbt the pregnam 10 close.

HOME-MADE SWEEP RAKE Wbere il is necessary te move bay a reasonahly short distance, a small sweep nake is a usetul imn- ploment on the tarm. In England and Australia small sweeps are commonly used le draw bay ta stationary halons or te stacks and are aise used te, turn cails of hay. Tbey wouid also prove useful in raking hay te tripods where Ibis method of bay cuning is used. A small tumble or dump type et swcep rake is operated by anc man and a herse. When the sw.eep is te ho loaded, the bandies of the rake are iiftorl slightly se the teeth gather up the hay. Te un- load the rake, the handies are given a quick beist se the Icetb' catch in the ground and the rake tunns upside dawn aven the load in a similan mannen 10 the dump- ing of an ordinany noad scraper. Atter this flip, the bandles of the nake catch in the soul and the rake complotes a full somensault and is ready fer the next boad. According ta the dnawings pre- paned by W. Kalbfleiscb, the widtb et the rake is nine feet and the lengtb et the teeth vany from 2'-3" le 4'-7" in lengtb. The trame- et the sweep is made et wood and the handles are made fnom two picces et pipe five foot long. The swý.eep is designed te siide along the grouind. dees net requine any wbeels and is inexpensive te con- struet. \Ve wonder if old limens heneaheuts rememben these rakes?
