“SUNSEAMS.”
This is the bright and ‘attractive title of a collection of poems by Mrs. W. W. Rodd, authoress of the “Island Rose,” just issued from THe Examiner office. The poems will, we think, be found worthy of the name by those who may read them. Mrs. Rodd writes poetically—yet without preiensious Her poems, eimple, plain, easily understood by everyone, ought to be ;opular throughout this The opening ode ix

QUEER FUNERAL MISTAKES |
There have been some queer mistakes made of all kinds, but this is one of the most unusual and undesirable, al- though no real harm was done: A man, one time prominent in professional life of this city, died. He was a member of a certain society in this city, which sent representatives to the funeral. The members of the organization were noti- fied of the death of their fellow mem- ber by postal cards sent out by the sec- retary. One of the cards was addressed
to and dejivered at the late residence of | the dead member, inviting him to at- |
tend his own obsequies. A similar incident was, if anything, worse. A member of a secret society
died and his fellows were notified of |
his death and the time and place of the funeral, as usual. A card was delivered at the address of the dead man, directed tohim in his own handwriting. He had been the secretary of the organiza- tion and ted addressed sets of postal cards to the members at his leisure. When a member died, a set of the ad- dressed cards were sent to the printer, who printed the name of the deceased member on the back with the other matter used in the notice. So when the secretary died his assistant or successor sent a set of the cards to the printer, so that the dead man was sent one ad-
dressed by his own hand.—Portland
Express.
Victoria and John Brown.
**Pol Manear’’ is a favorite cast near |
Balmoral castle and was always held as the special preserve of the late John Brown, her majesty’s personal attend- ant. John was an enthusiastic and in- veterate fisher, and often the royal larder was indebted to his prowess for its supplies of spring salmon when the rods of the other fishermen failed to bring them tothe bank. It is authen- tically reported among anglers on Dee- side that when the queen wanted John he was immediately at her call, except when angling, and at such times she studied not to disturb him. The tacit understanding between them is said to have arisen in the following fashion: Her majesty one day sent an imperative message to the river side, desiring John to immediately wait upon her.
‘*Tell her majesty,’’ replied John, in his usual Doric, ‘‘that I am rinnin a saimon and [ canna come.”’
The messenger came back to him in hot haste saying that the queen desired to ece him this very minute.
‘““Well, tell her majesty ‘this time that [am rinnin a salmon and I winna come,’’.and that settled it.—Pearson’s Weekly.

Thirst is constant these warm days. It seems im- possible to quench it.
Ordinary drinks seem to aggravate rather than sat- isfy it, and too much liquid is bad for the stomach and general health.
