There is no doubt that to be able to Idle at will is a most valuable gift and one which is becoming rare: every day. The art of ioaflng is not properly understood by the majority of people. Much has been written on the subject. Steven- son deait with it in an essay; Mr. Kenneth Grahame touched on it in “Pagan Papers,” and Mr. Barry Pain has some illuminating remarks on the subject in his Canadian canoe book. There is a subtle difference between the views of these experts. Mr. Gra- hame advocated absolute idleness. Mir. Pain pointed out, with more truth. that the great art of loating was to do the easiest thing and that sometimes it is easier to work than to be idle. This is the secret of the whole matter. The superficial idler thinks it his rduty to be idle on every occasion. Tbe‘fiah who has studied the subject knows (3n motion of Messrs. Roche and Wilson the council adjourned til] Monday.

Several cases of making and circuint. ing counterfeit coin have been heard at the central criminal court during the last few days, and at the conclusion of one of the cases the foreman of the jury asked the authorities if they wouid take a suggestion from twelve business men who during the year had to deal with considerable sums in silver coin. There was, he said, a most simple test for the detection of base coin. It was mfierplycutthemillededgeof a good coin mlnst the milled edge ofthe suspected coin.

During one of George Graham Vest’s campaign tours in the early nineties it was necessary for him to sojourn over- night in the town of St. Charles. The best hostelry the place afforded was poor enough, and at breakfast Vest was especially put out by the stud? that was placed before him for coifee. After having sampled the beverage Vest, with a frown, called for the proprietor. When that individual appeared the senator asked. with a wave of his hand toward the "offending liquid smoking innocently before him, “Sir, what is this stun?“ “Cod‘ee,” meekly replied the proprietor, somewhat taken aback. Rolling on a Barrel. The public in general and life savers in particular should be warned of the danger and folly of rolling on a bar- rel the bodies of apparently drowned persons. This process has never yet helped to resuscitate, though it has undoubtedly killed many, half drown- ed persons. The idea that it “pumps out” the water is entirely falla- cious. In the first place, no water enters the lungs of a drowned man till he has been absolutely dead for many hours. In the second, the re- moval of water from the stomach is quite a secondary consideration com- pared with the impmtance of re-estabâ€" lishing the action of heart and lungs, and rolling a body on a barrel is about the surest way of preventing both heart and lungs from resuming their normal functions. Artificial expansion and contraction of the chest by alter- nately stretching the arms above the head and compressing the chest with them is the correct first aid to the apo patently drowned. but never can roll- ing on a barrel be anything but dele- terious.

It beglns to bear the third year after budding, and for 100 years it will yield abundant crops. Orange trees have been known to attain the ripe age of 300. The orange requires less care and attention than any other fruit tree. Its early growth ls rapid. In the first two years it grows more than it will in the next fifty. This refers or course to its height and breadth alone â€"lts fruit stems and consequently its crops increase more rapidly after the first ten years. Graves and Gnvedluers. “Gravedigging is not a gay busi- ness," said a gravedigger, “but it is a very old one, and many curious super- stitions surround it. One of these is never to buy a new spade. To dig a grave with a spade that is new is sup- posed to bring death in the family with- in a twelvernonth. Hence gravedix- gerl buy their spades second hands: a rule. Another superstition with some is that a grave should never stand open overnight. It should not, they say. be dug till the day of the funeral.
