The eminent actor, Mr. Mathews, father of Sir Charles Mathews, in one of his "At Homes," related a story of a butcher he dealt with, and who came to be known throughout the town as "the historical butcher." This man was very ostentatious of his affected knowledge of the "His- tory of England," a book he was constantly reading from morning to night, and which he so much admire. ed that he never served a customer but he relatéd a pdreof the subject he had beénh reading in the 'course of the day. You will suppose a eustom- er to be standing there, and a friend seated with him behind the counter here,' which will account for the fol- lowing curious jumble: -- "What d'ye buy?

During th year 1913 the index number of 274 ommodities stood at 135.5, an ad- vance of 1.1 over 1912. Taking cal- ulation in retail prices of the weekly 'xpenditure of a typ'cal family of ive on 36 staple articles and rent, the increase was 1.7 per cent, over 1912. The index number for animals and meats was 180.8 'as compared with 160.8 in 1912 and [146.6 in 191.. Thére was a decrease in ditiry pro- duets, grain and fodder, ligyors and tobaccos, and what are descPibed as "sundry goods." Kish advanced from 120.7 in 1912 to 130.8 #n 1913. A weekly budget of which cost $6.95 in 1910 rose to $7.34 in 1913. The ort states that in the United States farm products and other foods were lower in 1912, but other goods were higher. At the :lose of the year prices were lower- ing in clothing, fuel, lighting, metals, implements, lumber and building materials. In Great Britain prices were much the same as in 1912. During the lat- 'er portion of 1913 prices receded from the high level at the heginning of the year, the decline being chiefly n foods, in spite of imcreases in meats, FURTHER AID TO G.T.P. Proposed Guarantee Comes: Up Be- fore Prorogation Ottawa, May 27.--The remaining lays of the session will see a meas- are brought before parliament fo orovide further aid for the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. The G.T.P. 1s been asking for a further guar- antee of bonds for the completion of the mountain section and will, it is understood, get it, but not upon the terms which it has been [presenting to the government." The company will 'have to abandon its claim that it is entitled to a further guarantee of bonds or to a further cash con- tribution "implementing" the sale of: der the' agreement made with the late government in 1904. The pro- posed guarantee will come on the ground that the early completion of the line is desirable in the general interests of the country, which has already heavily committed itself to the undertaking. It is understood that the amount of the proposed guarantee is about twelve millions. * TAMPICO OIL CLAIM PACT Great Britain, United States and Netherlands Reach Agreement ' ' . i bonds as a matter of legal right un-!
