‘The Methodist minister in a smail country town was noted for his begging propensities and for his ability to extract generous offerings from the close-fisted congregation, which was made up mostly of farmers. One day the young son of one of the members accidentally swal- lowed a ten-cent picce, much to the ex- citement of the rest of the family, Every means of dislodging the coin had failed and the frightened parents were about to give up in despair when a bright thought struck the little daughter, who exclaimed : “Oh, mamma, I know how you can get it! Send for our minister; he'll get tt out of him!" —Harper's Magazine. Parsox—I was glad to see you at prayer mecting last night, brother.

Fable of a Fairy Once upon a time there was a good little girl. And this good little girl asked her mother if she could go and play in the woods, and her mother said yes. So she went to play in the woods, And she was walking along and walk- ing along, and what do you think she met? A fairy! And she was awfully surprised to meet a fairy, so she said to the fairy: “Where do you come from?” And the fairy said: “This is where I live.” And the little girl said: “I never heard about any fairies living in these woods.” And the fairy said: “No, because nobody ever saw me here before. But you are a good little girl, so I let you see me.” And the good little girl said: “How do you manage to be seen by no- body, even though they walk right past you every day?” And the fairy said: “I lend them money.” —London Answers, Live is for sale by all newsdealers in Great Britain and may be obtained from bost- sellers in all the principal cities in the world.

(Paes ee brilliance and delicacy of Perrier are character- istically French. Perrier is as superior to other Table Waters as the famous French Cham- pagnes are superior to ordinary wines. M. Ritz, the genius of the modern restaurant, once said: ‘‘Perrier is the finest sparkling table water in the world.’? Today all the world knows it to be true. Perrier is bottled at the Springs in the South of France amidst the glorious French vineyards. There is no saltiness’ in Perrier, the great reason why it combines so perfectly with Wines and Spirits. N.B.—A glass of Perrier alone or with a slice of lemon in the early morning is invaluable in gout and uric acid troubles—the bugbear of middle-age.
