Negotiations carried on with the iDutch government by W. J.

Mixed marriages are increasing in Ontario, despite the' efforts of church organizations to turn the tide the lether way. This is conclusively shown by a report of the Registrar-General :During the last fiscal year the returns Show an increase of 2 per cent. in :the number of Roman Catholics mar- rying outside their Church. The num- ber of Roman Catholics who entered matrimony was 6,743 and of these 1.519, or 22.6 per cent, married cut- side their church. ' The Methodist denomination-l head- ‘ed the marriage list, with a. percent- }age of 28.2. The Presbyterians fol- lowed closely with 20.4 and the An- ‘glicans came fourth with 18.1 per cant... i and the Baptists fifth with 6.6. The Lutherans were ahead of the Congre- gationalists with 3.7, the latter con- tributing only 1.2 per cent. of the mar- riage total. Altogether them were 25,807 marriages, an increase of 1,771.

He alone managed to escape the “hoodoo” which pursued those who had anything to do with the fateful relic of ancient Egypt. "'Magazines and newspapers exhaus- ted their imaginative powors in de- scribing the mummy and its history," said Dr. Craig, “but none of them gave an accurate account of the fate of the original party. Two brothers of One of these was accidentally shot before the. boat reached England, the other was crippled for life in a runaway. The third member of the party was an American by the name of Brown, who met a long series of financial rever- ses and died broken-hearted just three years after transporting the mummy. “As for those who had to do with the mummy in England, there is nothing but one long tale of disaster. The man who drove the cart that con- veyed the nzonmy to the museum, died mysteriously on the following day, and another who helped carry it into the museum had both his legs cut off in a cartage accident. “The first man to photograph the dead object fell and broke his machine and hurt his face dangerously and to cap the climax the newspaper man that wrote about it was drowned the next week. “Now all this may be mere coincid- ence, but I am inclined to think dif- ferently because I have investigated the matter and know that the above too much tin in a bell often causes undesirable results, of which cracking is the most common. But the most satisfactory results have been obtained by using very old copper and procur- ing good tin, which comes from Aus- tralia. UNCLAIMED BANK BALANCES zl’woothlrds of a Million Dollars Lylng In Canadian Vaults A blue book issued at Ottawa giv. ing a list of unclaimed balances in Canadian banks, shows that some depositors throughout Canada have for some reason or other left with the banks a total of $677.- 147, to which no one has laid claim for years. The unclaimed balances run from a few cents up to several thousand dollars, over a score being in the neighborhood of five thousand dollars. ___.___._.â€"â€"â€"â€"-â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" “A Man of Straw" The legal expressions, "8. man of straw." and “straw-bail," meaning a worthless person, or one who decelves the authorities, into accepting him as a security on bad grounds, dates from a time when idle fellows hung about the law courts ready to give false evidence or to go bail for anyone who would pay them. They were called “straw-shoes," as they put wisps of straw in their shoes, either as a badge or to ease their c‘onrciencer vwhen they swore they owned sufficient land â€"represented by the strawâ€"to go ball -!or a prisoner. The "straw-shoes” swiftly degenerated into priessional per-jurors, ready to swear anything. They lingered till comparatively re- - cent times .in Ireland, hated by their neighbors. - ..-._.. 0N HISTORIC SPOT W The property upon‘ which a bon- fire was built to celebrate the annex- ation of the town of Nortl.

EXPERT APPLE TRADE Excellent Condition of Quality and Packing Wine Confidence That grading and packing of Can- adian apples for export , to Great Britain is constantly improved shown in" a report from Mr. J. F. Ray, Canadian Trade Commissioner at Birmingham, sent to the Department of Trade and Commerce at Ottawa. He writes:-â€" _ “Your commissioner visits Smith- fleld market weekly in order to ascer- tain the state of the fruit market, quality of Canadian apples, and.to seek probable buyers. It is gratify- ing to report the excellent condition in which apples arrive. Eight years ago complaints about quality and packing were numerous; but there appears to be no complaint of any kind now.
