But a student went one better. The examiner was aetonished to find upon the boy’s paper the answer. " The devil.” Unable to refute the correct- ness of the answer, the full marks were awarded. The editorial game laws are stated in an eastern publication to be as fol- lows: “ Book agents may be killed from October 1 to September 1 ; spring poets from March 1 to June 1; scand- al mongers from April 1 to February 1; umbrella. borrowers from August 1 to November 1, and from February 1 to May 1.

It’s question if there’s another town in Canada with more dogs to the square inch than we have right here in Durham. We have been asked to advocate the establishment of a Pound with a sausage factory in connection. It Would be interesting to know the exact commercial value of each individual dog and find out the profits after paying the dog tax. There are lots of different kinds of dogs, but the dOggondest dogs are the dogs that congregate in crowds on the sidewalks and force the public to take to the road. If the tax has been paid on all .he dogs in town it should go a. long way towards the cost of the new bridge. Here is a Pointer.

Catarrhozone is a scientific cure for Catarrh, Bronchitis and Asthma, recommended by' doctors and druggists as a certain cure. Mr. Henry A. Taylor, the oldest druggist in Halifax, says “ Catarrhozone gives satisfaction wherever it goes.
