I Acrobat Who Has Performed Before Three Sovereigns Still Active. Henry Johnson, of Grantham, who boasts that he is the oldest acrobat in England, entered on his hundredth year Dec. 25, 1905. In spite of his years he is as lithe and active as many 3- man 60 years his junior. Johnson has lived in 'the neigns 01 five British sovereigns. and prides himself on the fact that he has per- formed before three of themâ€"King William IV., Queen Victoria, and King Edward VII, when he was Prince of Wales. He is now quietly enjoying the evening of his life at Grantham. and be h to come. Johnson was born on Christmas day. 1306. at Norwich, but his recollection of his childhood is very hazy. He re- members that he was left an orphan at a. very early age, and had a hard strug- gle to maintain himself. His elder brother wanted him to become a host- ler. but his ambition had been fired by seeing a troupe of traveling acrobats, and he rejected the suggestion with scorn. He attained his ambition when still in his teans by becoming a tight- ‘ rope walker and an equestrian acrobat ‘ with a. small traveling troupe. Johnson’s first experience with royal- ty was when he and Mullaba perform- ed before King W'illiam IV. at Ayles- bury, and the King was so pleased with them that he commanded them to ap- pear before him at Buckingham Palace. They traveled to London by coach, and the King rewarded them with 50 guineas each, and gave them a royal license to perform in any town, city or village in the United Kingdom. Later he performed before Queen Victoria at i 'Windsor, and before King Edward brother wanted h ler. but his ambit seeing a troupe 4 and he rejected scorn. He attain still in his tems rope walker and with a. small tra‘ VII. (then Prince of Wakes) dringham. V" â€""U ""â€" Johnson, in spite of his great age, is still in possession of all his faculties. He can walk about with the activity 01 a much younger man, and some time ago he made a bet that he would dance a. hornpipe on a table. A few weeks ago he challenged a local horse dealer ‘to a. walking match, but although the horse dealer is twenty years his junior. he declined the match. Millions of Stamps. ; At the village of North Bersted. near Bogner, England, there is an inn ml which the parlor is covered over thef walls and ceiling with postage stamps from all parts of the world, worked out in various designs. The table, the chairs, a hat, and a candlestock are a'- so entirely covered with stamps, and two or three pictures on the walls are executed in the same medium. Besides there are strung across the room fes- toons of stamps. There is also a sum- mer-house where visitors sit to have their refreshment, and when I visited it five or six years ago this was like- wise ln process of being covered with stamps. The proprietor explains that it was begun as the result of a wager some years ago, and he also issues a pamphlet, setting forth the circum- stances. The number of stamps is es- timated at two millions. bébbhuyvu "v w .. There are two orphan asylums in Switzerland, the “Asile des Biliodes" and the “Institute Bethlehem,” that are partly supported by the income derived from the sale of used postage stamps. which are collected for and presented to them by sympathizers all over ‘the world, these collections being organized by religious institutions at various cen- tres. The stamps, which consist chief- ly ot the countries of Europe and Am- erica. are sold by weight, and to give some idea of the extent to which this collecting is carried on at one of the institutions named, there are in stock and for sale at this moment over twen- ty tons of stamps. About 6,000 stamps with paper adhering to the back weigh a. pound; twenty tons would thereâ€" fore, be, approximately 270,000,000 Stampsâ€"London Spectator. A Sober Irish Christmas. The Christmas Day Closing Act, which was passed for Ireland during the last session of Parliament, came into force for the first time last year, with results which it is hoped will 'tell con- siderably in favor of temperance. So far as Dublin was concerned, the operation of the act made comparativeâ€" 1y little change. For at least halt a dozen years more than two-‘thirds of the licensed houses have closed volun- tarily, in response to a holiday move- ment organized by the publicans’ as- sistants. who secured a substantial vol- ume of public opinion in their support. From the opening‘ot 'their agitation an increasing number of houses have agreed to close each year, only those holding out which are situate in the poorer class districts. - 0 i‘_‘ ‘ ‘__A_‘ wvâ€"vâ€" The Ifiovement Spread quickly from its inception. and in Parliament the new closing measure was chiefly englo neered by Dublin members. OOVV. w ".7 ~ wu-v In Belfast, Cork, Waterford, Limer- ick, and other large cities and towns the change produced by the act is a. drastic one. In former years every public house in every town and village, no matter how small, could open from two to sev- en o’clo‘ck on Christmas day, and the taking away of this liberty undoubted- 1:; put a stop to much excessive drink- ing. AN ENGL!SH VETERAN. For-go“. to Load Gun. While the commander-in~chief of the British fleet was superintending battle practice recently on board one of the cruisers of the Mediterranean fleet, one of the guns missed fire. Mindful of recent accidents the crew prefer- red 'to wait half an hour before Open- ing the breech. As an extra precau- tion Lord Charles Beresford ordered the gun to be well secured and waited an hour. At the end of that time. with great care and numerous orders __‘.3 -vâ€"v __ _, as ‘to caution, the breech was opened. Then it was discovered that the men had forgotten to put in the ammuni- tion. Increase of Golf. It is estimated "that the golf players of the United mngdom now number 350,000. of whom 20,000 players are re- sidents in London and find their re- creation in links close to town. The past year has seen the opening of more than 200 new golf clubs, and as on the average each club claims at least a hundred acres, 200,000 acres have been taken up since November last for the purpose at making unks.-â€"London Express. aopes to live for many years at San- With live stock and effects, from Toronto at 9.00 pm Settlers travelling without live stock should use 1.15 p.m. train fmm Toronto daily. on Tuesdays, Wednesdavs, Fridays and Sat- urdays.
