MacArthur Is there any difference between a "post card" and e "poste.l casd-"I Sea. a postal card has the stamp printed on it and are sold only by ,l.he post office; unstamped cards sold by private concerns. with pic- tures on one side are properly call- pd post cards. Strange as it may seem, there are no specific requirements for in- iterment. in Westminster Abbey. Among those buried in the famous '.Abbey was Thomas Parr. aged 15:! years. John Taylor. the poet. Jack Boughton, one time champion prise fighter of England. George Frederick Handle, the German composer. While there is no distinct spec- Sea of black squirrel in Prince Ed- ward Island, there are certain lo- calities where black individuals used to he quite numerous. This ocribe can recall seeing black nquirels when he was a youngster in the woods between Cornwall and Kingston. 0 The so-called flying squirrels. were once common in our Island Province, and still may be seen in the wooded areas of Kings County. About 20 years ago this writer took a flying squirrel away from the family cat. Tahhy captured the ro- dent in a wooded lot belonging to John Mustard, Cardigan Head. The curious little animal was displayed in Charlottetown. Except in rare cases. the agony of death is a myth. Rarely does a dying person fight against man's last enemy. Most of us who have reached middle life or older. have 0 a frequently noted the calmness and tranquility of individuals as "shuffled off this mortal L-oil." Dr. William Hunter, the eminent an- otomist said to a close friend when he was dying. "If I had enough strength to hold a pen I would write how easy and pleasant they? thing it is to die." And 5:. L. Stev- enson actually set down in writing these words which he was unable to speak: "If this be death. then it is an easy one." Those who have' experienced A number of deaths will agree with the thoughts expressed by that eminent British doctor sir Pred- erlck Trevu (I863-IUZ3): " there is with many. A great fear of death itself. of the actual act of dying . . . This fear is ill founded. The last moments of life are more distressing to witness than to en- dure." Shakespeare is responsible for adding to the silly superstitions in, the minds of many people. In the tragedy of King Richard II we read these lines. "so wise, so young. they say, do never live long" meaning that clever children die young. Shakespeare also immor- talized the tombstone in the fol- lowing passage: "tongues in trees, boats in the running brooks. Set-I mom in stones," etc. i Stones played a curious part ini the lives of such persons as Queen Elizabeth of England and Charles. V. Holy Roman Emperor and scoresf of others whose names cannot be' mentioned for lack of space. i Superstition and folk-lore exist among all nations. and among all classes of society. And no where! are they more evident than here: in the Garden of the Gulf. At least fifty per cent of Islaiid-. ers believe that to touch a toad causes warts, that saliva isvalu- able in curing disease, that red; flannel next to ones chest will keep away asthma. that the hu- man eye has the power to overawcl animals and insane persons. that Friday the thirteenth is unlucky and so on without end. q LONDON -(CPt- A bus conduct-t or has been told to cut. down on' his Jokes while at work.

Yen stated yesterday that the paving or the Wood Island Street in lilnnlague was undcr considera- tion, and might be done sometime :n the future. For many years the condition of this hill has warranted pave- ment of somi. sort: it. is difficult to keep the road in good condi- tion because the annual spring thaw and heavy rains erode the surface to a great extent, making traffic on the road hazardous. As a i'ui-ther hazard. gravel stones. carried to the bottom of the hill. and lying on the pavement, are dangerous in motorists and ped- estrians alike. Moreover, flying niissles have already made neces- sary six replacements of plate glass windows in stores bordering that particular space. It. is with a great deal of satis- faction that it is learned that something is at last to be done with the hill.
