Sudbury, Ont, Dee. 29. --(To the Editor) : Christmas has come and gone again, but still in Sudbury at least the scores and accounts' are not all cleared up that took place Christ mas. On Christmas. eve a popular voung Frenchman Frank St. Dennis, jumped in between two fight ing shanty jacks. One of them drew a knife and literally carved St. Dennis around the head and face. One cut reached from his leit temple to the jaw bone and required twenty-two stitches to draw it together. The is in 'the jail here yet awaiting his trial and also pendi judgment until St. Dennis is pronounc ed out of danger. To-day he is: still in a critical condition. Another and more fiendish thing oc jcurred in Copper Cliff the day follow here, " ing. Christmas. "Mickey" Stone, a {local celebrity who some time. ago fought in the ring and is still epnsid-| ered pretty ciever with his fists,* got} into trouble in a disorderly house at the Clifi. As far as can be ledrned all the frequenters were partly intoxicat ed. "Mickey" started a fight, which lasted some minutes, but was sup- posed to have been settled, and he started out never suspecting anything treacherous. One of the other men struck him over the head with a club, old building, which they then set on fire. His head and hands were ver badly burned, the flesh being burnt ¢ his hands and arms before he was res- cued. The latest reports here say that he is out of danger and will re cover. Business is booming here yet, a though theré are quite a few mines closing down for the winter in the district. Many think it is on account of the depression at the Soo as that company has heavy controlling in- terests in these mines. The Victoria mine closed last week with' a notice put up that all old employees, would be taken on on the 24th of February. --G. How To Tell A Lady's Age. Every man seems to be born with a desire to. know the age of the ladies with whom he comes in contagt, and women also appear to have an innate curiosity concerning the number of "summers" which have passed over the heads of their female friends. But there is nothing more difficult to dis- cover than the exact age of a lady who wishes to keep the fact a secret. Now, there is a little" scheme hy which you can find out the age of any person. Having engaged that person in pleasant conversation, you proceed something after the following manner -- speaking very innocently, of course : "There is a very simple problem in arithmetic which very few people are able to see through, vet it is as easy as possible. 1 wonder if you can do it 2 This sets the person on his dignity, and he or she wants to do it at once. Then you go on. "Think of a number corresponding to the numerical order of the month in which you were born. Oh, no, you reed not tell me." (To make the explanation clear, we will assume that the figure is 2-- sanding for age is 30.) "Now, multiply that figure by 2." vou continue, "and add 5.-. Done that? Well, multiply that by 50, and add your own age. From the to- tal subtract 365, and .to the result add 113. Now, what figure have you . "awe huadied and LAhirty," replies the person addressed. "Isn't that cor- rect 7" "Exactly !" vou exclaim. ane of the very few managed jit!" Ar d-you turn away to hide you smile of satisfaction at having dis covered that your victim was born in February, and that he is thirty years of age.

New Liskeard, Ont, Dfe, 20.--(To the Editor) : As most of ¢ghe veterans are readers of your great Jeligious pa- per, and to fulfil my proufise, I will attempt a description of fhis part of New Ontario, which .in fow years will certainly leave wld midland counties far behind. The land is rich, the tigher so abundant, the. small lakes and streams teeming with all kinds Jf large fish, that witle 'our Ben's" lnew govern- went railroad next yea§, we should see an influx of thousand of settlers. I confess veteran land sebkers are the reverse of popular here, jand perhaps justly so, as ordinary sditlers bave to buy their land, and jbegin settle ment duties immediately! They have to make roads, ete., whereas, we have ten vears to run. By thit time much learing will be done, ropds wil be made, and schools wil bi established. Then in comes the Kio to reap the the benefit. Already a movefyent is start ing to memorialize the government and egislature to amend thef 4ct that gave veterans such an 'advanjtage. Buf vet erans who come in to thake homes are heartily welcomed and elped.
