Munition Queer Street Names. There are many bewildering street names in European cities, and these London presents a great % riety. Bermondsey possesses a Pi kle Herring s.reet. Near Gray's Inn there is to be found a Cold Bath square. Most of the "Nightingale lanes and Bove lanes are hidden, ironically enough, in the slums of the East End of the British capital. In Brussels some of the street names are very curious. The Short street of the Long chariot; the street of the Red-Haired Woman, and the street of Sorrows are remarkable enough to catch the least observant eye. The street of the One Person is, as one might guess, an extremely narrow one. But the cream of Brus- | sels "street names surely belongs to the street of the Uncracked Silver Cocoanut. This in the original ap- Among the peculiar street pames in Paris may be mentioned the street | of the Little Windows, the street of | the Mule's Foot, the street of the Holy Fathers, the street of the fuugiters of Calvary, the street of Dry Tree, the street of the Empty et, and the boulevard of the Good News.

The munitions turned out are of a fine type and the workman- ship has led to a continuance of or-| ders that will make work plenty with probably considerable overtime & Injured at Locomotive Works. J. Cummings, employed on the Locomotive Works night shift, fell quite a distance cn Monday evening and was rushed to the Hotel Dieu, where his condition was at first thought serjous, but after regaining consciousness it was found"his con- dition was not very bad, and he was ater removed to his home at the corner of Frpntenac and Johnson streets Got-The w rong Mon. The Belleville Ontario says: "In the police court Roy Marshall, King:- ton, was charged with a breach of the.

Another nice audience greeted J. Hixon Irving in Brock Street Hall last even ng His subject was "The Builders," taken partly from 1st Corinthians, iii: = "The Apostle Panl lin his service building the church on the foundation laid by Jesus Christ," and then the two builders mention- ed in St. Matthew vii, 24, and the fol- lowing verses, one building on the roek and the othér building on the sand. Mr.*Irving handled these texts {in an impressive and instructive man- (ner. He has the happy gift of at- {tracting the attention and holding | the interest of 3ll his audience from { beginning to end, and one could have | almost heard a pin drop while he was | unfolding his subject last evening. The subject, to-night, will be "The | Runners" and will doubtless be handled in the same manner as the | others. Meetings begin at 8 o'clock] punctually. | i Germans Face Bad Situation pictures shown were a two-reel Uni- versal photoplay "Under the Cress cent, "a comedy picture, "The Fatal Kis and the Pathe News, showing scenes of the present war The vaudeville included Freeman Bros. in a clever blackface comedy singing and dancing act Both are was enjoyed by aj Laura Hope Crews, | experts and made a hit with the au-| dience Ywaxy, "The Ragged Vio- linist," also pleased the large audi-| ence His playing of several selec- ions and some popular songs were thoroughly enjoyed.
