The day of the service was clear and warm and thus a. very large number paid their last respects to their neighbor and friend. During Mrs. Inniv.n’s illness when all knew that her disease of creeping paralysis _was slowly blit surely doing its \vork,` one of the most touching features was the close and careful attention given her by her son and daughter at home, and this continued to the time when together they stood by the grave and saw for the last tinio all that reiriained of their dear mother.

A NARROW ESCAPE. -Among the

_passengers crossing by the Empress ‘last week was Mr. Patrick Murphy n native of Ireland who was a member of the Princess Patricias Regiment, -which suffered so badly in the war. Mr. Murphy was bound for Sussex to visit his brother who resides there after visiting friends on P. E. Island. Be- sides himself Mr. Murphy had five 'brothers serving in the war, the broth- er in Sussex being the only one of sev- en who has not gone to the fi-ont. Mr, Murphy had a terrible experience in the fighting at Limbourg and has the marks to back up his statements, in- cluding a. bullet wound on the arm, a bayonet cut over one eye and a portion oi' his leg gone from a shrapnel shot. He also suffered from gas. his tongue being discolored from the effects. I-Ie lay out in the field for 48 hours and but .for “playing possum" would probably have lost his life. A German officer

‘making the rounds came across the _young Irishman and the latter gave up 'sign of life. To ascertain definitely if he was dead the German threw Mur- lDllY'S DI`0Sl-rote body from him and the I young Irishman struck the ground with terrible force but made no attempt tu _"save himself falling just as he would

'lf he had no life in his body. This sat- .isfied the German and some hours lat- ler Murphy was picked up by a,Briti5h |Red Cross worker and carried to the British lines. He was sent to the lios- Ipital in England and then came to _ Canada where he had been located for Isome years previous to the outbreak of war. ~

PLEASANT PAR"f'Y.- Kingston

village was well represented when on the evening of Tuesday, Oct. 19th. forty-nine members visited the Bap- tist Parsona.ge,‘North River. In due time the happy crowd gathered, and joyfully did the host and hostess br- ing forth every available seat to ac- comodate the numbers. First, ' and especially among the ladies, there was ii. pleasant time spent in conversation. Then instrumental music became a treat, rendered by Miss Barrett, Mrs. W. Newsoii and Mrs. Gates. Then for a change, about half it dozen different parlour games were engaged in, and judging from the pearls of laughter, these surely were enjoyed; but just in the midst of these, the call for supper was given from the dining room, and a glance at the heavenly laden and llantily arranged tnble, was enough to break up the best game played. lliut at this time in the history, the number again gatliered around the piano ‘and heartily sang a goodily number of Patriotic airs, until Deacon Daniel Fraser called the meeting to order, and as Chairman expressed the reason for this gathering, namely to sliow their appreciation to the new Pastor and wife, and to meet them in their home. Deacon Fraser then called upon Deacon .Iaines Homes to speak a word. Deacon Homes said that it was not right' for the Chairman to ste-al all a man’s amunution and then expect him to fight. All the good things that lie would have said, Dea- con Fraser said before him. He, how- ever, said he could` voice the senti- ment of the Chair. Mr. Stephen Ack- laiid, Supt. of the S. School then was called upon to speak and lie gave a revie'w_of the recent improvements in the Cliurcli, and- the aims of the Future. To these. addresses Mr. Gates replied. He said in part, that he was not only the large ,box of oats which the visitors had -ontributed which made him glad 'to'/have tliesepeople with him, but' also that he could meet them in .social friendly way; he .spoke of thc- joy it always gave hirii to preach at Kingston. because oi' the close worshipful attention given liini, not only by the older members of the community, but by the young ones as well: another praiseworthy factor was the fact that' in the light oi' many calls, at the close of a ser- vice a fortnight ago, Deacon Fraser called the people ioizethr-1° and collec- ted altogether $24.00 for the Tem- perance Alliance. These and many other expressions would make a mini- stry to these people a. pleasure, were among the la.st words of the Pastors reply. At 12.30 the party joined in Singing. "God be With You Till We Meet Again."

ing taken from them for the war. Def' haps to be killed. Dr. Crawford said: "The women are just as determined to see this thing to a diiisli ns the men. and they are doing their part to the best of their ability. They realize that to stop now, to compromise. 'would only moan that their grand- children would only have it to do all over again. Many of them. that is of the older women. were living during the Franco-Prussian War and they have seen the horror of that time re- peated, and they are not going to let it happen again. .They are going to fight till all danger of another such repetition is done away with. illl the idea of military despotism, of might being right, is settled once for all. lf this is not accomplished all the ter- rific loss of life and destruction of property has gone for naught. If it can be accomplished even at the loss of five million men. a great triumph for civilization will have been won. That is the way they feel and anydne :who expects them to change will be .greatly mistaken. Of course. it means ,suffering and hardship of a terrible kind, but they are prepared to meet it. Just now the women in Paris, particu- larly those of the poorer classes, are facing a grave crisis, for the prices of coal and some other necessities have gone up. However far they made what little they had go last winter, It can't go this. The little money they had put by is used up by now, and , the little bit they can malta ill hardly

WORLD'8 TINIEST OIL PAINTING.

Marvels in miniature are somewhat

common, but the record in oil paint- ings must surely be held by Samuel T. Schultz, the world's champion pain- ter in miniature, who executed a paint- ing on a grain of corn, which' is now being exhibited in Camden, New Jer- sey. This painting, pefect in every detail, was done nearly fifty years ago and apart from its face value has had a remarkable career.

In the course of its journeys to the

various European capitals it was lost A year ago the miniature was located through an advertisement, and was sent to America from Berlin. _ _

The miniature presents a winter

scene, executed with the great care and skill which made the artist fam- ous. Schuitz, who is nearly seventy years old. will never paint another picture so minute and yet so perfect, and since its return from Europe Schultz has received numerous offers for his painting.

Schultz got his inspiration while at-

,te_iidi|¢-sle firnera|~Ol1~Buclianan, at

lwlieatland, Penn., the home of the

President, in 1868. On his return he plucked an ear of corn from a field oh the I’rcsIdent's_ estate. His first in- teiitlon was to paint a miniature por- trait of Mr. Buchanan on one of the grains of corn. After many unsuccess- ful nttcnipts, he decided to substitute a landscape. The final result was a well-balanced snow scene, .with a wind- mill on one hand. a chalet on the other, inouutains in thc distance. and a sin- gle flgure to accentuate the effect of space and distance.

BY HOOK AND BY CROOK.

Often one hears people say that

they will do is certain thing “by hook or by crook." This expression dates hack to fchdal dnvs. snfl refers to the old forest lows. which gave permission to poor people to gather wood on con- dition that they neither cut nor saw- led timber. Those branches which they could be carried away were theirs. but this was all they were en- titled to_ To pull down dead branch- es, or remove sticks from the under- .brush, certain hooks and crooked pol- ies were brought into use. Those in tinie came to be called hooks ' and crooks. By their use the peasantfa managed to procure all the wood needed. Hence the expression "by hook or by crok."- Scottish-Amerh can.
