Before that they were com mon enough. A tramp printer is ai ways associated with hard times. He would not tramp if he could get anything to do. In this respect he difl'ers from the ordinary tramp fam- ily. Then he difi'ers from the ordin- ary tramp in that he never goes to jail. He will walk into a printing oflice, ask for ajob, and if there is anything tor him to do, will hang his coat on the peg and go to Work. As soon as he has earned enough to take him to the next town he is satisfied. If there isn’t anything for him to do he taps the editor in the most mat-‘ ter of-fact kind of way imaginable for l a quarter. and then moves on.

Heels worn on the outer sides are said to reveal im- agination, poetic inStinct and an ad venturous Spirit. If they are worn down on the inner side it shows the wearer to be weak and undecided in character. Moreover, the professor adds, this last sign is more to be re- lied upon in the case of men than of women, as the high heels of the latter often divert whatever physical sig- nificance they might otherwise have.

The minimum salary clauses of the School Act based on the assessment of the section Were rep aled at the last session of the Legislature. A curious phase of the law regard ing certification of death has been brought out in connection with an inquest held in 09goode. It would appear that any person can legally issue a death certificate, whether he is a physician or not, and that burial is authorized under such a certificate. The general impression is that a cer- tificate of death must be issued by a physician before a body can be bur- ied. This would appear to be a very safe precaution. In the case in point the woman died without medical at- tendance and was buried on the cer- tificate of her husband, who forth with left the neighborhood. Rumors were circulated that the woman did um die a natural death and that marks would be found on the body to prove it. When the body was ex- humed decomposition had set in. and it was impossible to prove anything, While there may have been nothing in the case, more than malicious gos sip, it illustrates the necessity of precautions. andlthe law should be amended so that a certificate must be granted by a physician whenever pos~ sible. Comparatively few people die a natural death without some medi- cal attention. and it stands to reason that cases in which death occurs‘ without a doctor being called in are i the Cases in which the most rigidl1 scrutiny is often necessary -â€"â€"Ex. ! l i-ms Wexduhned "I‘m dirty seal) 1’ the meantime the party opposei to local option became restive and de. cided to try and quash the bylaw another way, and not wait for the decision of the court of appeal Sc a petition was circulated against local option and» asking the council of the village to let the defense of the action go by default. thus quashing the by law.

Use Sleds to Carry Kits. One of the best mediums for the transportation of the small kits one taking a skating trip in Friesland needs is the rudely but stoutly con- structed Frisian sled, which can be hired at a small outlay. The other ex- penses can be made equally small. The food served at the little inns along the canals is clean and whole- some and the prices for meals are reasonable. Miles of tenet}; Highways In Northern Holland; Friesland, the northern province of Holland, is especially described as the true paradise of the skater. its canals, threading the country in every direction, are in the winter months converted into miles upon miles of ice-clad highway; stretch- ing out in almost every direction as far as the eye can see.
