Phases of Life. anere are two phases of life unfa- yvorable to peace and comfort; the one is adversity, the other prosperity it is hard to tell in which & man is more discontented with himself and more offensive to others. When prosperous he patronizes; when trouble falls upon him he whines and is a horrible bore. When he is down his friends wish him up on their own account; when he is high up they sigh for mountains to fall on him and bury him out of sight.--Kingston - Whig- -Standard. Speaking of Poker.

That Innate Urge. Everyone probably has nursed a pet . longing to perform some foolish ac- tion, like, for instance, sticking his finger into his neighbor's cup of tea at a swell dinner to see if the tea is still warm, The ideas vary from the Insane to the fréakish, but almost everyone is " bothered from time to time with a de- sire to do something -which would bring on him the shocked stares of bystanders. One Lindsay man once'told the writ. er that he discontinued sitting in the gallery of a local church because after the sermon had been going for five -or ten minutes, he had a longing to run down the aisle, put a foot on the rail, and leap over into space in hopes of grabbing the big chandelier that swings. from the celling.

On almost every page of the Supple- ment to the Oxford English Dictionary received its introduction to standard English through the pages of a daily newspaper. It is not 'claimed that the press coins-new words. ln one of his essays the late C, E. Montague wrote of the journalist working not at the heart of the Empire of letters, but out on the shady borderlands of its de- mesne.

Australia's Example. In these twenty months progress to- wards recovery has been gained which has made iho world Wonder It 1s not that is still some ie away. But there has been a restoration of con- fidence, which is necessarily prelimin- ary to a restoration of prosperity. In other words, the task is in process of accomplishment, The astonishing fact is that in Australia there has been no substantial development in economic conditions to which the betterment. of Government finances may be attri buted. The improvement has been due entirely to the faith of investors and of the public in the ability and honesty of the administrators. The material gain has: been reduction of taxation. This reduction is, it is true, small, but it is well to pause -and consider what a very great difference there. is be tween a small reduction of taxation and a small increase of taxation,-- Melbourne Australasian, Compulsory Poverty. Mrs. Reitz's recent spirited protest at Johannesburg against the exclusion of married women from the Civil Service gained greatly from her very sensible attitude on the kindred ques- tion of competition between men and women, . . . When married women are employed, they are not employed for fun, but because they have special qualifications. The few exceptions are not worth legislating about; whereas the total exclusion of married women from one particular branch of employ- ment is bound to lead in many cases to gross injustice, as when a woman is separated from a worthless husband and must work for the sake of the children. The old fallaty of the "wage fund" has had many strange manifes- tations, bat surely none stranger or more unortunate than this attempt to, assign a different economic status to married women than to their single 'sisters. Civilization and compulsory poverty for one section go ill together, --Cape Argus, England's Maligned" Climate. For long England has prided itself upon its rain, It pretended to be angry with its rain, or resigned and long- suffering with its rain, but secretly it took a delicious joy in its consistent standard of wetness. But this univer- sal reputation of Englind has been shown up by recent events as the fraud and imposture it really fis, It ifs a bubble which has been pricked by the summer of 1933. At last England has been revealed shamefully as a place which 'can be uo wetter than even Palestine. In England-they ac- tually have a water problem, because of the lack of that rain which was supposed for centuries to be England's monopoly.~Jerusalem Palestine Post.

The system works like this: A man goes into a hat store and finds a good-looking girl who decides when he has picked the right hat. This new trick 'n the headgear business was brought to light when'a chain of men's hat stores advertised for attractive young women, ' "Between 18 and 25," the adver- "to be trained as hostess and style adviser." Almost 300° girls were waiting on the doorstep when the office opened.

When the right hat is donned, the girl usually exclaims, "Ah, Mr, Smith, how handsome you look in that fe- dora!"
