The latter enquired as to the record of Frank Meeker, who when caught in the burglary of & house, in Westmount, fired "on the, policeman, who attempted to arrest him, and who was sentenced to twelve vears in St. Vincent de Paul penitentiary. Meeker's record, according to Detec- tive Murray, is a bad one. Away back in 18974, 'Meeker, with Charles, Levett, robbed the store of Major Dam, in To- ronto, and shot Dam so seriously that he died a little over, a week later. Meeker escaped, but Levett was cap- tured, and sentenced to imprisonment for life.

Twelve Excellent Rules Are Made Public. Dr. Harriet Keating gives twelve, rules for choosing a husband. They in- clude considerations of the physique | mentality and morals of the man. But they leave what is commonly called love out, De. Keating advises a woman to choose her husband with her head, leaving the heart more or l6ss out of the question. hw The average woman falls in love with the man, who, on the surface' appears to be what she has mapped out in her mind as satisfactory. And 'it resolves itself into lottery with a few prizes, Dr. Keating's rules define the only right ideal, making the uplifting of humanity the highest consideration. And, married to one chosen hy her rules, no woman could fail to finally love, genuinely and truly, the man who conformed, The stable, real affection that stands the wear of the years is not a thing that springs up in a night. It is Jargely a matter of habit. That doesn't sound agreeable, but t is so.

On Sunday last, at the close of the service, the congregation of Christ chureh, Wolfe Island, presented a handsome purse, with an accompany- ing address, to the Rev. C. F. Lan- caster, B.A. Miss Montgomery read the address, and James Berry pre- sented thie purse, on behalf of the congregation. The address stated that the congrogation desired Mr. Lancaster to accept the purse as a token of appreciation for faithful ser vices, and of their love and esteem; also that God would bless him in his efforts, and. grant happiness and pro: sperity during the coming year. Mr. Lancastér replied in a few words, ex- pressing his sincere thanks for such appreciation. Forgetting The Past. One of St. Paul's methods for get- ting on in the world in the best sense i= given in his Epistle to the Philip pines : "This one thing I do, forget ting those things which are behind." At the opening of the new year, or as a maxim for guidance in perplexitiey recurring every day, this is a good policy. Let the past go. Reach forth for fresh victories and achievements. Drop the old feuds, the useless jealous- ics, the vain = regrets, the long time grievances, the brooding habits, the usel ss depressions. They hamper and binder in the race.

During the commonwealth in Fug. land, when = puritanical feeling held sway, many determined efforts were made to put down what were termed superstitions festivals and among thes: that of Christmas day. The holly and the mistletoe bough were to be eut up root and branch as plants of the evil one. Cakes and ale were held to be impious offerings to superstition. In 1647 the Cromwell party ordered throughout the country by the mouth of the common crier that Christmas should no longer be observed. -------------- Ald, Mowat To Act.
