The persistence of this habit, which might almost be called an instinct, shows how long it had established itself among human beings.

Al- though he had obtained the business in open competition, and by virtue of the excellence of his wares and the low figures he quoted, the sales- man felt gratitude at being favored and sought a way to show it. “It seems hard to realize that up to comparatively recent times, Satan was, to the generality of mankind, “as real a personage as the King of England, or, let us say, President Coolidge. Few thought of ques- tioning his existence. During the Middle ages, documents hearing the Signature of the Devil were on many occaswns ofl‘ered as evndence in courts of law. They were quite'as veritable, from the municipal pomt of view, as the most authentic legal papers today. Contracts with the Evil One were frequently made, the Signer, with a pen dipped in his own blood, usually agreeing to surrey“ der his soul at the end of a stated term of years, in return for an im- mediate and substantial equivalent in the shape of money or what not. On the medieval stage, however, in the “mystery plays” so opular m that epoch, Satan had aready lie- gun to fall from “his high estate as a god. In those dramas he was usu- ally the chief actor. but in the work- ing out of the poll, he was always defeated and ridiculed. If he bar- gained for a soul, he was cheated."

It was supposed that the Fme dwelt in these re- ,8'10118 and that only by being cg; ipeased with sacrifices could be persuaded to remain in his own ter- ritory andnot consume the whole world. Children were the acceptedi sacrifices, mainly, perhaps, nor the reason that they could not resist, but also because they were the dear- est things the parents had to on‘er. By preference, the first born was given, but occasionally when the priests sought fit to pronounce a general holocaust, children, of all ages were burned.

"3:1? ' < fix? 1": The minimum rate of 10 cents will make it necessary for most bus- inesses to charge the cost directly or indirectly on all mailed parcels, so that the purchaser of goods will pay the postage. Formerly, when the rate was 5, 6 or 7 cents, it was hardly worth while to do so. Parcels of one, two or three pounds mailed to any post office within a radius of 20 miles, includ- ing the office of mailing, will in futture require 10 cents in stamps. Hi herto, these three weights have called for charges 0P6, 6 and seven cents respectively. Likewise, the new rates for parcels weighin four, five or six‘ pounds is 15 cen flat, where they could formerly be mailed for 8, 10 and 12 cents, re- spectively. For heavier parcels, the rates similarly increased. Comparison only is possible up to 11 pounds, the former maximum weight. which could be sent thmugh the mails. The maximum is now 15 pounds, with the rates 12, 14 and 15 pound parcels five cents higher in _§ll cases than the _11 pound rate.

A few minutes after five on Tues- day of last week, as a gen of tele- phone linemen were woring out from Harriston on a line near Mount Forest. a pole broke, causing an- other pole on which two linemen, Messrs. G. C. Kilgour and A. Samo- son, were at work, to fall. Both men 'were strapped to the pole about thirty feet from the ground and had to fall with the pole. They were brought to Harrislon where medical aid was summoned. One man was badly bruised about the arm and shoulder, but no bones were broken. while the second man was less injured suffering only from minor bruises.
