Ab. Greer as a marksman Constable Albert Greer, of Parry Sound, weil known about town, and brother of Mr. Alex. Greer, is in jail up north on a charge of trying to kilia whiskay peddlar named Harvey Hender son. Greer had a warrant for Hender- son and the latter endeavor to get away freni tha constable by running. The lat ter flred three abota, and by a miracle Henderson was flot killed, but enly badIy wennded. The Osuadian says of the af- fau :-"So mnch rsystery biangs about aset week's shooting aifair that il appeare wise, and perbaps ueoessary, in fairness to tha prisoer Greer, to forego any ex tended comment. We trust, howevar, that smre stops may be taken by the Goverrzuent to weed out froni the liet of constables ail men who are so ignorant of their duty as t suppose that tbey are justified in firing at a man who obeys a very naturaf-izpnîse to efcape when a chance offers. That Hendesson was sot killed was due, apparently, Le nothing but chance, andthe'extent of bis injuries dosflot in any way alter the. moral of- fonce. We understand that this man Greer bas proviously dispiayed marked Prepeusities for the usi.ng d~i revolvers in the disoharga cf bis duties8 as const.able, and snob beiug the case we cannot un-. derstand why ha should have beau re- tained in snch a position, especially wheu the facta were weIl known te the authori. tLes. At any rate this latter occurrence conveys a lesson whieli the authorities should profit by, and we hope that souic- tbing may be doue toe-ceure the corn- munity froni any repetit ion of this out- rageons affair.

THE CAUSE 0F SLEEP DTJRING SERMONS EXPLAINED IN A NEW WAY. 1 havre a scientific explanation of the ~somnolence which Overtakes people in ,g churci. I used to think that it was Îthe dulhiess of the sermon which pro- r.voked the. aleep of the congregation. a One remembers the acter who gave 1a private reading of his play to bis a friends, and when he was done asked 1their opinion. At last when one began 0 to speak, the playwright interrupted: d "You can have no opinion; you were rasleep." "Ah,"' replied the critic, d you not know that sleep is an opini' And sleep is certainly an opinion, Bunt especially fiattering one. mont d ma no mean thýat the ser- P mn s raly dll 1have se people .sieèp in church under ail circumstan- -ces, and in the hearing of the most ad- mirable preachers, preacbing the most eloquent sermons. I saw a man sleep Bwhen Mr. Spurgeon preached. Mr. Moody bas more than once called out -te have a window opened to wake a, tsomnolent member of bis audience. 9Canon Knox-Little is accounted a s preacher of more than usual earnest- ness and power, yet 1 remember once in Worcester seeing a minister, clad in surplice and stole, and seated in the fchancel, go straight to sleep while the canon preached, disregarding tbe eyes of the congregation. And once wben Mr. Gore delivered a sermon in that *greàt abbey where he is now canon, people who sat in my neighborbood went to sleep in shoals. No; my theory is that most times when the congregation sieep during the sermon they are simply hypnotized. For, consider the situation. Most of the conditions which the hypnotist de- sires are present. There is a dim and subdued light in the room; tbe atmos- phere is somewbat close, the tem- perature is h 1gb: somewbere behind the speaker, in a position which compels the eyes of the congrega- tion, is a jet of gas or a sharp gleamn of electricity, into wbich they look as the sermon proceeds, and the preacher goes on and on, in a gen- tIe and monotonous voice, and down and up like a mother's Iullaby: and be- hold our eyelids are pressed down against our will by soft, invisible fingers, and everything is deliciously vague and far away, and suddenly people stand up witb an awakening sound about us, and the preacher is pronouncing the ascrip- tion at the end of is sermon, duringi wbose wise and eloquent paragrapis we bave humiliatingly slept. This is hypnotic sleep. And it is the fanît, not only of the preacher, but of the whole construction ot our ill-ventilated and absurdly lighted churches.

Innuerale are the substances that have been adopted at various times by nat ions on the boundaries of civiliza- tion or in far-away parts of the globe for pipe fillings. Here, however, is a Partial list, and one that bas a good deal of aovelty about it. The bark of the willow tree, the leaves of roses, wild thyme, lavender, tea, beet roots, maize, the roots of the walnut tree, rush, wood dust, hemp and opium. And when it cornes to pipes the variety of these consoling articles would make a list too long to be print- ed. Bamboo is used for almost every- thing in China, and the Chinese pipe stems are naturally of bamboo. In India leather takes the place of bam- boo. Jasmine is used for pipe stems in Persia, and in Asia Minor cherr wood is a favorite material. Russian pipes are generally envelop-. ed with a metallic tissue to guard against fire, and nearly ail have covers, these bein.g precautions that are ad- visable in a country where s0 lawe a proportion of the houses are buîlt of wood. -Perhaps the most curious pipe bowls in the world are to be found in the Phillippine islands, where, gold being the only metal handy,, the inhabitants hollow out the nuggets and make use of them for their pipes. The pipes of old Rome, as antiquarians know, were made of bronze and iron, and the American Indians-, it is needless to say, used stone. EXÈiJO TORU ALE -0d Vill.ageL without reserve.
