THE AGE OF DRINKS ("A.D.C.," in the Daily Mail) The oldest of our drinks is ale, beer. Ale is mentioned as having been consumed by the Saxons about the year 940, and beer about the year 1000. Beer is also mentioned in the Bible (Luke 1:15). Of our other drinks I find that sack is first mentioned in literature in 1536, sherry in lt.08, brandy in 1622, port in 1691, and whisky in 1715. Among other facts one learns that the spelling "whisky" is Irish, and that the word is derived from the Gaelic "usigebeatha," meaning "water of life." The French with "eau de vie" have hit on exactly the , FAT STEER'S PERFORMANCE (Fergus News-Herald) A big fat steer, owned by J. Weller in Carrick Township, near Mildmay, would seem to have qualified for a star performer in a circus menagerie. where it was pasturing last Thursday the animal made a thorough investigation of the interior of the house, i to ascend the stairs to the sec-floor of the building. The animal, ever, did not take the trouble to descend the stairway and go out the same way as ti came in, but made a rather undignified exit by leaping through an upstairs window, landing on all fours safe and sound in the yard below.

This money was to be set aside in a special fund. As the road was never built, Mr. Armstrong is suing for $2,270. Joseph Wearing is acting for th? plaintiff. The case in all probability will be heard in Oct. before the Hon. Mr. Justice Rose. The Block Road Issue has come up at the recent municipal elections when hot debates have been held, but it is only recently that the whole thing has been brought to a head.--Peterboro Examiner.

Nothing unusual about this of course! Burns had recognized the cheery voice of an old friend over the telephone. But Jack was speaking from his home one hundred miles away. He had given "Long Distance" the distant telephone number, and she had connected him at once, while he held the line. Nothing extraordinary about this. Quick Long Distance service is now practically universal. In most cases, connection is made while you remain at the telephone. Giving the distant telephone number speeds up the service.
