The joint debates between the Peterson and Monree Library societies seems to have come to a terminal. They hal met twice and were on equal standing when the Peterson society chilleng»-d tl e M jnroe society to meet ihon on?nt:a’. ground. The challenge was accepted, question being stated with the challenge an 1 the Mir not boys ag e?d to ch >ose their side, and place of meeting so as to ir form the Peterson boys by Tues day, March 14th. The Peterson so ciety failed to receive she repl.' and when they met Thursday even ing the 16th, piss. d a resolution t denounce the Monroe society as cowards. One member thought ii well to wait awhile as news trav slow in IhcFeJdeys. If it bnu ieci in the old ‘‘stag- 1 ccach" then we might demand sp.edier reply. N w boys, truly, what is the trouble? Are you afraid or have you hal an axridei tin losing your gial? We are sorry for you, but know no remedy for your case.

Tlir Hrifnn ami WnaliI itff. 11 We have come to look upou water as meant primarily to wnxh hi. ns nu ithl I t<> ablution rather than u tlilug ol Ih-uii I ty. A story of a Hometwtsblre peasant Wil) illustrate what we mean. The ' IndiVidua) Iti question had never sts-n the sen until he was taken to Weston-super-Mure on n "choir treat" excursion. Naturally the vicar, the curate I nn<l th<* rest of the tenors, trebles mid i luisses ns s<H>n ns the esplanade was I reached gathered aroitud to aye how i the tlrM sight of the oce.iu would strike I the natural num.

I'd have brovglit down n bit of soap nn<l had n good wash." The Iron, or. rather, the soap, had entered so deeply into ids soul that he could only conceive the sea as it ‘huge washing place.—Lindon Sjs-etator. W saner's Ml.ovn Lorka. Wagner, the ewmp re*r. nt one time became utillcted w.th headaches and deteri .:ied to have Ills hulr cut. He n«i--r’lugly arranged with a barls-r t> perform the operation on a certain day. Tbnt worthy resolved to make n giod thlug nf It and Informed all Ids cuatomers of Wagner's Imix-mling sacrifice. Most of them paid him a certain sum down In advance to make sure of a lock of the great musician'* hair. To the barber's horror Mme. Wagner superintended the cutting and when It wus over appropriated the whole of the eovetisl lock*, ibe barber. In despair, confessed that lie had sold them many times over, whereupon madam suggested that her bntclier had hair very much like Wagner's. And the story rim's that that night half Dresden slept with the butcher's b.-’.lr un der Its pillow. Historic Relle. The Chesapeake, famous fir her encounter with tlie British ship Shannon In the war of IM2. Is still In existence. When she w;ts captured by the British she was taken to England by her captor. Sir Philip Broke, aud some vi .irs later her tit:i’x-r« were sold. Hie purchaser was n JBIII- r lr Wiskham. mid when he pnlled <’ • "n his old mill he built a new one from the timbers of the Chesapeake. Many h? these timbers still have tUe marks of the Shannon's grapesb it. aud hi some places the sluts are still to lie wn deeply imliedded in the pitch pine. If the builder who made this ship knew th :t its tinders were being used in a mill which I* making money for a subject of*Grcat Britain there is no doubt that he would at least try to rise from his grave to right the wrong. A Great Painter's Bealnnlsa. Sir Th »mas Lawrence was one of the great portrait painters in England. His parents were poor, his father l>oInga country luukeeper. One day Lord Shaftesbury's father and motlic 1 stopiied nt the Inn. having their younger son, the future lari. with them. In conversation the Innkeeper spoke of the genius of bis lew m drawing am. wished them to test it by a picture of their sou. They assented, thinking to gratify a fattier's pride, but not looking for any evidence of superior talent The lioy came in modeatty. with chalk aud patter, and In a few minutes h id drawn a picture of their son on which the parents looked with w inder. They reeogulr.ed the genius ami the promise of future greatness and tiefrlemled the young artist, giving him the help need ed to develop Ids wonderful gift. « OHMtIBMA.

When Wnn Lose Ynur Taste. "When )>e iple I tlieir taste." said n physician, "they retain their old likes and dßilikes just the same. Miss Bmitlt. for Instance, can't tell a slice of roast beef from a fried viiiun, but she disliked onions lief tier taste wcut.aud theicfore she won't eat them now. People lose their taste through severe Illnesses, and with the lows of taste the loss of smell nearly always goes; hen-e queer, cruel practical jokes.

"To a mini without taste or smell all cheeses must la* alike, yet old Brownlow won't touch llmliurger. He says It would make him ill. and probably It would. It Is very odd to bear these de ficlent people praising and eomlemiilng food and drink. They do It. though. They do it afc heartily as you or I.

A patient German scientist of n statistical turn of mind calculates that the amount of em-rgy expended by a person who coughs once every quarter of an hour for ten hours is equivalent to 250 units of heat, or the nourishment yielded by three eggs or two glasses of milk. Coughing is thus seen to t>e an expensive luxury. The reason for the waste in force entailed by it. or one reason at least, lies In the fact that, while in normal respiration the air is expelled from the chest at the rate of four feet a second, in violent coughing it may attain a velocity of 300 feet.
