"Of the herbs used for "driving dis- oases," the commonest and most ap- proved was pennyroyal which grows in Open and bare smell as well as by its pungent taste and its small blue Near the one can find spearmint in near- Places there is peppermint as well. Catnip is harder to discover, though it has escaped from cultivation and grows wild about many old homes. Goldthread roots are dug from dry cradieknolls and dried for canker and sore throat.

The leaves of the checkerberry and of the Labrador bush are added to the collection for the of warming and soothing teas.

And nearly all these useful and ap- proved remedies are found in best cone dition during the month of August, ---------------- Lisut.-Governor of Saskatchewan.

There is, in the town of Westport, county Mayo, a Roman Catholic church of recent date which has ecarv- ed over the west door the following inscription : "This is . - + the House of God." The reason of the long blank in the middle of the inscription (says a cor- respondent of the Raheny Guard- ian) is that the authorities had chosen a verse from the Douai version of the Bible, which runs : "This is an awful place, the house of God." By the time the stonemasons had got to the end of the first clause, the parish had no- ticed its satirical applicability to the architecture of the building, and be- gan to laugh. The distracted priest appealed to his bishop, who mter- vened and thought it expedient to mutilate the text. But as the stomes in place had already been cut, there was nothing i3r it but to leave the blank. The Keeper Of The Maze.
